WAsHIYGroy, April 29.-Sumner pa
raded his littleness of soul before the
court to-day, offering a resolution CEN
surfing Nelson for language in reply to
Butler yesterday. His remarks we're not
in good taste, but were no more improper
than Buffers. Sumner was the only
Radical mean enough to draw distinc-
ton between them. The court refused to
consider the resolution. Nelson then
read the letter which gave rise to the
controversy, showing its date was March
9-subsequent to the Inauguration of
proceedings in impeachment-and that
this Endorsement Of the Alta Vels claim
to the President by four managers and
other Radicals was procured for the pur-
pose of protecting the President from
censure; but when Judge Black pre-
scented it to the President, suggesting the
Endorsement would shield him, johnson
said be would not trust the rascals,
although they Endorsed the paper
Evarts' argument held the Court and
galleries in wrapt attention. 1t is con-
ceded that it is clear, cogent and con-
vincing, and the effect is apparent in the
reaction Of sentiment among outsiders.
Even Radicals now admit the result to
be doubtful. Evarts used his powers Of
sarcasm on Boutwell, and Butler with
extraordinary effect. The latter with.
drew from the Chamber in disgust at
Evar,s' reference to his powder-ship ex-
plot against Fort Fisher, comparing his
sound and fury in the Senate Chamber to
that famous 6asco
Stanbery will speak in person, follow
ing Evaris.
The Reconstruction Committee this
morning considered the South Carolina
constitution, but arrived at no definite
conclusion. 1t is understood that the
Southern States will be speedily admit
ted under the bill offered yesterday. The
Radicals see in that course the only hope
Of carrying the Presidential election.
General Meade telegraphs Grant that
the Georgia constitution is ratified, Bull
lock elected, but that the Legislature is
Democratic.
The New York TFibune's suggestion
to admit Arkansas Senators and allow
them TO vote in impeachment is severely
criticised. A distinguished Radical said
II was a seandalous proposition and an
insult 10 the Senate.

The energy, business capacity and expert
ence Of Mr.. Carter, the business manager and

sufficient promise to his many customers that
they will in the future, as in the past, have
