Marshal Neil supported the bill, and replied
to the arguments addressed by Chevalier, de-
elaring the grounds on which they rested were
tenable. Fears in regard to Russia are alb

OfTennessee, etc.
New YORK, March THE Tribune's
! Washington special says that the summons
for the appearance of Mr.. johnson is to be
served on him by the Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Senate. 1t is signed by the Chief JUS
tice, and the Sergeant-at-A Arms is required
to serve il four days before it is made re.
turnable. II is Endorsed on the back with
precept similar to writs of summons and
used in ordinary courts. The President
will respond in person, and then wait the
action OF the Senate in reference to his fl
ing a demurrer, when a dismissal Of COM
plant and quashing of the articles of i'm
parchment will be demanded.
Anew Orleans special makes left handed
apology for the cheers which the Rebel
Fire Department gave Gen. Hancock and
JEFF. Davis, and says, if this be treason
make the most of it, Gen. Hancock's
policy has reduced the city currency 10 six
teen per cent. discount, an increase of eight
per cent since the fremen's parade. So
much excitement prevails among the poor
who hold the city notes that fears are en-
tertained of serious troubles tonight. The
Democratic Convention, now in session,
praises Hancock.
A Washington dispatch says: The action
of the House in the case of Mr.. Butler, of
Tennessee, was exceedingly significant and
important, az it establishes the manner in
which persons who cannot take the test
oath may hereafter be admitted 20 their
seats when elected to Congress. The bill
reported by the Election Committee in Mr..
Buffers case, was drawn with especial
reference to the fact that it established
a final precedent, and was passed by large
majority, many Democrats voting for it
1t provides that all persons who have
been relieved from political disabilities in
Cured by participation in the rebellion,
shall not be required to take that portion
Of the test oath which states that they have |
not given aid and comfort, etc.
The Committee on Ways and Means |
have decided not to recommend the col |
lection of the tax on cigars By affxing a |
