New York, March lO.-The Tribune's
special, from New Orleans, dated the 9Th,
says that we have further complications
under Gen. Haneoek's rule. 1t has been
charged that Gov. Joshua Baker committed
perjury in taking the test oath, while he is
said TO have put distractions in the Bayou
Teshein, in 1862, to prevent the Union
troops from approaching. He is to be ar
rested by Commander Shannon tomorrow.
Similar charges are to be preferred against
other of Gen. Hancock's appointees. The
report, which is published in the Rebel
newspapers, that the President has just
telegraphed that be will relieve Gen. Han
cock and put him in command of Wash
ington, gladdens the Union men, who hope
that Gen. Mower may be put in command
here
The Times warns the Rebels against any
demonstrations similar to that which was
awarded to Jefferson Davis and General
Hancock, on account Of its effect North.
Rebel Boards of Registration are TO be
appointed with view of defeating the con-
stitution.

tinues.

cancelled bonds to the amount of SIS, &c.

bonds had been destroyed that what was

blank paper. The Retreuchment Com
mittee was ordered TO investigate the matter

A Washington special Of the 9th inst.
says: The mist which surrounds the i'm

not be dissipated for some days. There Is
authority, however, for contradicting the
statement that the President and his coun-
sci have agreed on his defense. An alb
surd report is also in circulation that the
Presidents counsel will object to certain
Senators as competent Judges, and falling
in the challenge will refuse to proceed with
the trial, resign and appeal to the people
This, too, is a canard. There Is a com
plete division Of opinion as to the result OF
the trial. The President and his friends
are confident of his acquittal unless the
Senate are determined TO sacrifice truth

A CASE FOR THE INPEACHERS.
Washington Radicals Indignant ana
=PerpIexed-Judge Underwood and
the FrankinE PrivIIeEe-A GIarinE


Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 5, 1968.-The ia.
Goblin leaders here have received consid-
cradle addendd to their perple through
the bungling of Judge Underwood, of Vir-
ginia, to explain Radicalism, and reconcile
it with facts which are patent and indis.
putable. Underwood's decision in the case
of the mdaddmas, sued out by General In
boden, has been furnished the Radical
members of Congress by the Judge him
self who, no doubt, supposed he had acted
we'll his part; but, unfortunately for his
party, he was not in a position which JUS
tilted his saying much. After proving ap-
parently to his own satisfaction that the re-
lations of Virginia to the Federal Union
had been broken, and that she was not a
State within the Union, Underwood was
asked how it was that he habitually franked
all his letters as UNITED States Senator
from Virgins" fact within the personal
knowledge Of hundreds of people here
and particularly within the knowledge Of
the Radical postmaster of this city, whose
attention has several times been called 10
it. This was a knotty question, and one
which the Judge failed to answer to the
entire satisfaction Of the Radicals here, to
whom he has sent his reply. They express
intense indignation that he should thus
embarrass the party by his offciousness.
To Justify the fraud he is daily perpetra-
ting on the Postofice Department, he de-
clares that "a form of loyal government"
in Virginia had been fully recognized by
the United States Congress, and yet, at
the same lime, he enforces by his de
cision q law of Congress which SAYS
where's no legal government now
exists in the State of Virginia" etc. This
Federal Judge adds that while questions
Che does not say what questions) remain
undecided, the officers elected under the
Alexandra Constitution, including himself
as a United States Senator, have a right TO
their places, and that he is entitled to the
franking privilege. This assertion is not
only made in face OF the fact that be holds
a commission as Judge ofthe United States
District Court, but made by him while pre-
siding upon the bench. Such shameless
effrontery is exceedingly annoying TO the
wire-workers here, only because 1t compli-
e4tes their difficulties and adds 90 much
dead weight to the load they are already
carving. Sumner said this evening that
few Undsrwoods would be a milestone
about the neck OF any party sufficient 10
sink IT, They seem 10 award him the
merit OF being villain enough 10 claim a
high position in his party, but :hey say his
yiilainy Is more than coHnlerbalanced By
his rash stupidity, and that he has given
them more trouble than ell the Rebels in
Virgins. Such is the opinion Of Wilson,
Edmunds, and Morgan, and several other
Radical Sensiors have iutimated an entire

FORECAsTING THE FUTURE.

Henry Clay uttered remarkable pro-
Pheoy in 8 speech in the United States
Senate on the 7th Of February, lS3e He
predicted civil war and the Gnal subver-
sion of the Union as the consequence of
the abolition excitement The Abolition
lists, let me suppose, succeed in their pre-
sent aims of uniting the inhabitants of the
free States as one msn against the inkabi
iants Of the slave States. A virtual
dissolution Of the Union will have already
taken place, while the form of its existence
remains. The most valuable elements Of
union-mutual kindness, the feelings Of
sympathy, the fraternal bonds which now
happily unite us, will have been eKtin-
guished forever. One section will stand
in menacing and hostile array against the
other. The collision Of opinion will be
quickly followed by THE CLASH OF ARMS.

now lie happily concealed from our view.

Report Of the Reconstruction Com.
mIGfee.

WASHINGTON, March I0.-The Com
mittee on Reconstruction, to whom was re-
ferred the application of Alabama, asking
its admission into the Union as a sovereign
State, reported this morning as follows !:
That it is their intention to pursue the
spirit of, and not the letter Of the law of
March %, 1867, entitled an act supplement
tary to an act, entitled an act to provide
for a more efficient government Of the
Rebel States, passed March I'd, 1867, and
to facilitate restoration. They. especially
intend TO enforce the spirit of that law
when there seemed to be any facts in the
evidence on the spirit and letter If such
is the true principles laid down By moral
jnrists for the government of Judges BY the
act of the 23d, they were evidently intend
ed as one to admit Alabama as a State. if
after full registration, with a time for de-
liberation, majority of persons should be
in favor of its admission. The other was
to prevent hasty and precitate legisla-
ton, before the people should have duly
examined the subject and hence the law
provided that not only Alabama, but all
the immediate territory should have all her
legal voters registered by proper officers.
and if majority Of the legal voters thus
registered should cast their votes in favor
of constitution a convention should be
ordered for the purpose of framing it, but if
a majority of the registered voters should
not be cast against a constitution, these
should still be counted in the negative. A
most unusual provision in our or any other
government, but in ordinary times it would
have bat little effect to keep in, 90 far as
to removals and deaths which took place
between the time Of registration and the
time of voting. On the day OF the Ala
bama election, a most extraordinary and
unexpected state Of things existed in a
very large portion of the State, especi-
ally in Republican portions. A very
severe storm ragged from morning till
night. The streams we're swollen to
such an impossible degree, as testified by
Gov. Smith then elected Governor Of the
Stste and other respectable gentlemen
that it kept from the polls number Of
voters who woald otherwise have attendedi
an attempting TO reach the places Of cleo
ton, one or more persons were drowned
which deferred many from proceeding
further, thus all who choose TO stay away
were counted as voting against the
constitution. Though ifthey had all gone
