cial agent at Ssmso, and Steinberger's
brother. They state that after the de-
thronement of Malcloa by the natives
on accout of his, deposing Steinberger
as PRIMER, Captain Stevens, command
ing the British steamer Baracouta, landed
with O force of marines, and went 70 the
C,unciI House, were the Legislature was
assembled, with the intent to enthrone
Malcltta. T.lec: iefs ordered the native
guard to take a position in the vicinity
of the Council House. Stevens
ordered his marines to disarn
the natives. The guard resisted and u
fight ensued, in which four marines were
killed, eight mortally wounded, three ma
tives killed and five slightly wounded.
The natives were of insufficient force to
have exterminated the marines had they
wished, but we're restrained by the chief
who told them that Stevens had no desire
to i. fight, but would defend his
rights. Stevens took the wounded on
board the Baracouta, and landed with
artillery, thew up embankments and
kept guard behind them fourteen days,
but there were no further demonstrations
by the natives, They then returned to
the Baracouta, taking three chiefs Ms
hostages. In the meantime the Bsitish
steamer Sapphire arrived. The chiefs
were transferred to her, and the Bara-
couta sailed for the Fiji Islands, taking
Steinberger, his brother and Coe,
who was carried away simply for
his layalty to the native government
The prisoners were landed NJ FIJI. The
Barrocouta was ordered to Auckland,
presumably for the purpose of having
the acts of her captain Investigated.
Steinberger went also TO confront him
and demand satisfaction for the outrage
perpetrated on him at the time of his
leaving Samoa. The Tuscarrora would
be due in ten days. Foster, the Ameri-
can Consul, acted throughout the trouble
IN harmony with the British. Coe and
Steinberger also reiterated the statement
that the main trouble arises from the
machinatlon of the English missionaries,
whose profits were impaired by the re-
gulations introduced by Steinberger, and
also by the opposition of "beach comb.
ers," Sydney ducks" &c, who disliked
his interference with their liquor selling
and other pursuits.
SAN Francisco, May 5.-Dispatches

in the Steamer L Z,alandia from Fiji, hav-
ing been taken there from Samoa pris-
oner on the British war steamer

to go on the schooner Ada May, which
sailed few days ago, but owing To some
Misunderstanding she sailed without
them. A tug was sent out but failed
to overtake the schooner. Will go

'F0RTY.FOURTHC0N6RESS
WAsHINeToN, May s.

The House resolution accepting the
invitation to attend the opening cere-
monies of the Centennial exhibition, and
providing that when the two Houses ad.
iourn ON the 9th inst, that il be TO meet
on the 18th 1t was afterwards discussed
and adopted.
The consideration of tho articles OF
| impeachment was then resumed, and
Mr.. Carpenter, for the respondent, be.
gan his argument on the question OF jur-
isdiction. After reviewing the plead.
lngs in the case, he said he would en-
deavor to show. First, that the articles
of impeachment could not be entertained
against any private citizen, IN any case
Whatever. Second, that when articles OF
impeachment are exhibited, they must
set forth every fact essential to consti-
tute q crime impeachable. He stated
that he would conflae himself in his ar
gument to legal questions, and would be
az brief as possible and dry as q stick.
Mr.. Carpenter read from debates OF
the Constitutional Convention, and ar
gued that the men who framed the con.
stitution never had the slightest idea that
anybody but public officers could be inn
peached. The debates all showed that
impeachment was intended as check
upon those IN power.
At 2 o'clock the Senate took recess.
After recess Mr.. Carpenter resumed
and finished his argument.
He was followed by Mr.. Knott in be.
halt of the Managers, who argued that
The real question before the Court was
whether they exercised the functions de-
volved upon them as the
highest court known 10 our gov
ernment by virtue of constitutional
power, or merely at tie will and pleasure
OF the accused There was not solitary
syllable in any of the provisions OF the
constitution which limited the power OF
the House of Representatives to prefer,
or of the Senate to try articles OF impeach
ment to the time during which the party
accused shall remain In once,
or to any other time whatever.
The very moment an impeachable
otfense was committed, the guilty party
became liable to impeachment, and there
was not word in any OF the provisions
of the Constitution relieving him from
that liability upon the termination Of
his office, whether by resignation or
otherwise. ,
At this point Mr.. KIott said that
he disliked extremely asking favor
at the hands OF the Senate, but
he was suffering such physical pain
that he must ask for an adjournment.
The Senate, sitting as court OF I'm
parchment, adjourned until tomorrow.
The Senate then resumed the consider
alton of legislative business, and alter
referring several House bills to aPpiro
pirate committees, went INTO executive
session and soon adjourned.
