THE NEWS.

Tne Paris Moniteur has South American adj
vices. which state that the allied land and
naval forces are in possession Of all the prin-
c;pal points around Humitia. and their forces
were being daily increased for the final attack.
Matamoros advices to the 18th inst, state
that the National Congress reassembled on the
l,t Of April, and the decree of banishmsnt
against foreigners. who had served under the
empire, was modified by permitting them to
remain on proof of an honorable calling and
the payment of twenty nigrettes.
A number Of revolutionists had been cap
tured, and were being tried by the military
authorities.
General Candy telegraphs that detachment
of the 4th Infantry. on the 25th inst, attempt
ed to capture Riddick Curry and a party
charged with several murders. Curry while
under arrest in 1866, for murder, murdered
lieutenant Krigan. Of the 18th Infantry. and
escaped. On this occasion two soldiers were
killed. and the officer in command, Breyet
Major Lyman, was badly wounded. Curry
= and his son were killed and bis son-in law
wounded.
Gen. Candy also telegraphs that the South
Carolina returns are all in, and that the major
ity for the Constitution is 1890. and that the
majority for the Constitution in North Carolina
has increased to ls.44O with "A counties to hear
from. The vote polled as far as heard from IS
1O5.s74. L rs
Gen. Meade telegraphs that the election IN
Georgia passed offas quietly as could have been
expected. There were one or two serious out
breaks and many complaints offered from both
sides, and some applicationsfor new ele'tion.
The probabilities are that the Constitution is
ratified by large majority. Bullock is elected
Governor, and the Democrats have majority
in the Legislature.
. Washington specials give rumors that the
Fifth Cavalry, OF which General Emory Isl COM
mander, is to be transferred to other duty, and
that General Rousseau will be commander Of
the Department of Washington.
The Reconstruction Committee have agreed
to postpone the CUES ion of the restoration of

Democratic Committee has unanimeusly passed
resolutions requeTting the Democratic National

Committee to meet in New York early in June.
II is probable that Congressional caucus Of

Sumner, fearing that II the Senate con-
victs the President II viii not agree 10 dis.
qualify him, proposed an amendment TO
the rules, that q bare majority Of the
Numbers be sufficient for that purpose.

Mr.. Evarts spoke for two hours, taking
q broad and comprehensive view ofall
the questions, and laying down the foun.
dation for his argument His descrip-
ton Of the powers OF the different de-
partnents OF the Government, personiiy-
ing them and bringing them within the
walls of the Senate chamber whore there
is deadly strife, was picture Of rare
grandeur and beauty. The powers and
duty Of the President TO defend and pre-
serve the Constitution were clearly
stated. He referred in caustic terms TO
Congress with its present exaggerated
and almost omnipotent pretenslons far
exceeding its scope Of duties. He point
ed out the obligations Of the Senate in
court; their delicate and important func-
tons in the trial and what was due to
impartial justice. their country, their
oaths and their God. This portion of
his remarks was uttered with weight
and solemnity which powerfully i'm
pressed all who heard him. sfaIai
He tore impeachment TO shreds and
tatters, exposed its factious selfshness,
its want of principleand truth, and made
its partisan measures despicable in the
eyes Of all. He read an extract from
Judge Spencer's speech in Judge Peck's
case, where he said in appearing in it he
would scorn to bring the spirit of party
before an august body Of Senators.
This was too much for Butler even,
and that worthy left the chamber IN
dismay. io sa an
He pictured the condition of the Pres.
idents Office if johnson is deposed, and
said the Constitution never contemplated
that it should be filled by any enc except
ing he was elected by the people. Sena-
tors are discussing the point particular
ly tonight, and, in the event Of john
sons removal, il is net improbable that
the present law viii, be amended so as to
have an election for President at an ear
ly day. Some Senators hold that the
present exigencies of the country de-
mand it. i.. ~ aas
In this connection the doubt OF Wade s
eligibility as successor as not being an
officer of the Government within the
meaning of the law was discussed.
1t is known that the Chief Justice has
said there is grave doubts oft, and this is
urged as an additional reason for filling
the Office in the contingency named by a
general election.
There is authority for stating that in
view Of the alarming strides of the Radi-
calls toward despotism Chief Justice
Chase has said it was time every lover Of
constitutional liberty should band to-
gether against the distructionists. g9u 4
