A PILLAR or FIRE. A gentleman OF
Louisville, KY, informs the Courier That u
few nights since, between the hours ol IL
and u o'clock, he saw onc OF the most
brilliant meteors that ever nstonishcd the
dwcllers on this mundane sphere. At tho
time the moon was shining brightly, and n
great bank o flight white mist had settled
over the sleeping city, giving the atmos-
phere n peculiar mcllOwness and soitness,
az he was suddenly startled by a bright
fash of light directly before him, which in
another instant was thrown along a portion
of the whole street, rendering objects for
some distance as clear TO his vision M " he
Ind been walking in the brightness of a

great white ball seemed parted rs If 10y an

sparks fell like u min of blazing jewels, and
were lost to sight. The nucleus Of the
bright body remained for an instant, ant
then, as il dartod swiftly earthward; an

WASHINGTON. April Is.
The Worlds despatch says Among the
efforts made to induce the President to send
urmed vessels to the island of Alta Vela. it
Is stated that a paper was filed with the Pres
ident day or two before Judge Blacks
withdrawal as counsel in the Impeachment
case, signed by Alcssrs. Butler, Schenck. Lo-
gan, Garfield, Stevens and Bingham. in sub
stance setting forth the right Judge Blacks
client to possession Of the island and giving
the opinion of the signers that the executive
should send an armed vessel and forciblv
seize the island.
The opinion of the supreme Court on the
motion 70 dismiss the McArdle case is pub-
llshed. The emportant fact appears that the
Court holds that its appellate Jurisdiction ex-
tended to such cases ever before the passare
OF the act Of 1867 recently repealed except
that It was necessary that thew should be
brought upon a writ Of ccrs,9-qri rs vel rs
writ of hajeas corpus. 1t Is not known
what view the Court win take Of the effect
of the repeal OF the law of 1867 in this mar
ticular case; but in the Florida cases under
the Reconstruction Acts Writs Of lr7iorari
have been taken out so as to evade the diff
culties thrown in the way by the repeal Of
the act Of 1867.
