His address was 4 luminous exposition of the principles and history of the Republican par- ly, from its first position, which was non-ex- tension of slavery, to its present platform of political equality for ail. He urged the duty of all classes in the South, but especially the newly enfrancbised people, to array them- selves alongside of that party. The responses to these views were very earnest. Many white persons were present. Mr. Gibbons advised bo man tositidle, expecting enrich- ment by confiscation, for that measure Uon- gress would not adopt unless forced to do so by radical secessionists.

Ip the Prussian Diet to-day, Prime Minister Bismarck an- nounced that the Government had accepted the proposition for the neutralization ef Luxemburg. Saxony approves of the new Constitution for the North German Confedera- tion. THE MISSISSIPPI INJUNCTION CASB. in the Supreme Uourt of the United States yesterday, Hon. Robert J. Walker (the Mis, sistippi case being before it) said he believed the Constitution, liberty and self-government ‘were pow on trial—yea, upon their final trial— and it was to be decided, for posterity and for all the world, whether written constitutions were mere parchment scrolle—whether they were words written in sand, to be swept away by the first angry surge of popniar passion which may roll over them, or whether they could be evaded by tecRnical issues or the plea of wan: of jurisdiction. The learned gentleman defended the Presi- dent from the attacks of a part of the secession press, showing that although the Execative may veto & bill, it became a law by the subse- quent action of the two Houses of Congr in passing it by the requis. two-thirds major- ity. I! was then an act just as much asthourh the President had approved it. The Presi- dent, after these proceedings in accordance with the Constitution, Bad no discretion. He must execute the law. This being the fact, the question rose whether Congress had power to pass an act beyond the range of judicial in- quiry This Mr. Walker denied, and argued that the Constitution provided for such cases as this to be brought into court imorder that their conmstitutionality might be tested In replying to Attorney General Stanbery’s remarks of last Friday, Mr. Walker main- t&ined that political questions had not been excluded from this court; andin support of this position referred. among other and more recent cases, to the military commission and test-oath questions, upon both ef which the Supreme Court had pronounced their opinion. Mr. Walker quoted various decisions to show, in further refutation of the Attorney General's views, that this court has jurisdiction in cases not involving money and land, and, in con- clusion, while speaking of the despotic and whclesale «weeping out of ten States by the terms of the reconstruction acts, directly con- trary tothe constitution of the United Btates, aid that a broader bill of attainder, pains and penalties bad never been passed, reducing ten Millone of loyal and disloyal people to terri- torial bondage, and substituting the gleaming sword and bristling bayonet for constitutional guards and the courts of law. The argument on each side was heretofore limited to two hours, but Mr. Walxer was permitted by the court, without interruption, to Speak more than an hour beyond that time. There was a large attendance of auditors, in- cluding many lawyers of distinction, during the delivery of Mr. Walker's argument. Wheu he finished it wanted 20 minutes to 3 o'clock, and this being the usual time fer adjournment, the court, after consultation, said they would hear Attorney General Stanbery in reply on Monday, to which time the court adjourned CeveTING 4 LITTLE NxIGHBOR's Goops.— A singular care eftesny depravity occurred in Saginaw city, Michigan, on the 17th instant. A little girl, aged 7 years, named Mary, while going down street was metbyagirl named Eliza, aged 11 years. The elder child kept tbe younger in chat till they had wandered as far as the ship-yard, where no human being was in sight. When there, Eliza induced Mary to take off her hat, cloak, apron, and net, the child obeying her with a confiding look that would have changed the purpose of one old in crime. But Eliza had only halfdone her work: she coveted the clothe-, and now they were in her posses-ion; but the owner of them yet remained in the way. She induced little ary to stand on asmall piece of ice which floated in the water of the dock, and, gather- ing up the clothes, she ran away leaving the child to perish. The ice soon yielded under the child, who slipped off into the water and clung for life to the cold edges of the Piece of ice. Providentially, © man rowed within Sight ana rescued ber; and from her statements the precocious Murderess was found out aad ‘trrésted, at her scbool. THe Maing Law.—The last dodge for de- feating the Maine law in Boston is thus de. seribed:—“A well-known retail liquor-dealer down town, whose cosy sanctum is crowded at about 11 a.m. by solid and pious merchaats. as well as by frivolous and dapper clerks, ha~ bit upon an ingenious device for evading the rigors of the law. He has converted his es- tablishment into a club, and by the payment ofa small sum for tickets, aud signing their names toa carefully-worded document, his customers suddenly become joing owners of bis stock in trade, and are conseQuently en. Utled to drink their proportion of cobblers, juleps, &c.. so that those who really ~thirst for the spirit” can imbibe ad /ibitum. Other enterprising dealers close their doors to the outside public, but provide their patrens with pass-keys, and in this way the law is success- fully evaded.” Deciing in Dry Goops.—The dry goods market is very mach un-ettied to-day, by the result of the large and peremptory sale of domestics yesterday. Some two thousand packages of stripes, ticks, checks, denims, g/ngbhams, and brown and bleached sheetings, Were offered. The bidding developed a very unsatisfactory condition of the market tor low grades of coarse goods, most of the offer- ings being disposed ef at figures far below cost of production, even at the present low price of cotton.

Another voice —There is no business betore the house, and no member has any business to speak to no business when there is no business before the house. Mr. Walker Lewis. from the vigilant com- Mittee, made a report, blocking out the ward, and placing committees in each block. Mr. Sidney McFariand (colored) asked if all those appointed by the report were members of theclub, and it the persons named would serve. Mr. Lewis remarked tbat they were all mem- bers of the party, and he took it for granted that all g Republicans would serve for the good of the cause. (Applause) The colored men are all radicals. A voice.—Not ali. Where's Beverly Nash ! Mr. Arnold hoped that no man who was not & member of the club would be put on the cemmittee, and he believed the Chair mad made a decision sustaining this view at the last meeting. Atthe last meeting they hissed down the name of the oldest citizen of the ward because he was not & member, and now they should stick to their ruling Mr. F Posey (colored) remarked that on the first Monday in June they should expect to vote, and they wantedevery man out at the polls.

He wanted harmony to niger and suggested tbat all difficulty coula be ebviated by recom- mitting the report. Mr. John W. Curry (colored) moved that the obnoxious names be stricken out. The question was raised that the report had not been received Mr. McFarland.—How can you receive it when one of those named Dad declared that he would not be @ member of any political or- ganization The report was received.
