Lonpox, April 29.—The London journals this morning concur in lamenting the fact that the debate on the Irish Church question in the House of Commons seems to have been left to tecond-rate men. Valuable time is wasted in desultory diseus- sions, which serves no other purpose than to give an opportunity to poth parties thus to Play directly into the bands of Deraeli, whose great object now is to gain time. The first and principal witness who testi- fied in the trihl of Burke, Casey, and Shaw yesterday, was the well known informer, Coryden, not q Loxvoy, April 29.—The news from Rio Ja- heiro to the 9th instant, brings dates. from the seat ot war to March 25th.

Tue ELECTION IN GEORGIA.—A dispateh re- ceived by General Grant this morning, from General Meade, Commander of the Third Mili- tary District, announces that the election’ in Georgia passed off quietly as could be expect- ed, only one or two outbreaks having occurred; but there are many complaints of fraud from both sides, and there have been some applica- tions for anether election. Official returns come im slowly, but the probabilities are that the Constitution is ratified by a very large ma- jority. Bullock is elected Governor, but there is a Democratic majority in ihe Legislature. POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI. [Special Dispateh to the Star.) St. Louss, April 28th.—@ Convention of the Radical editors of Missouri, is to be held bere on the Ist of May, to effect a more thorough political organization for the coming cers ge Hon. Henry T. Blow, in a letter to Warmoth, of Rolla, declines to become a can- didate for Governor of Missouri, and gives his views in regard to the platiorm the Republicans ought to adopt in the approaching State cam. ign. Pefiited States Senator © les D. Drake pub- lishes an address to the Radicals ef Missouri, in which he takes strong and earnest ground in favor of impartial suffrage, and urges a more thorough and complete organization of the par- ty ubroughout the State. INDIAN DEPREDATIONS. Sax Francisco, April .—Idaho advices to Apmil Ith, state thar the Indians are aommit- ting depredations in Jordan Valley. It 1s thought that the programme of the past four yeurs is to be re-enacted by the Indians, who are robbing, burning, and murdering, The In dians made a raid throngh Hayetts Valley, capturing and driving off the stock. Troops are to be sent in pursuit from Fort Boise. THE SreaKERsuIP—-Mr.BLAIne.—TheWash- ington correspondent of the New York Com- mercial writes: “Although the chances that Mr. Wade will receive the nomination as Vice President at Chicago are growing stronger every day, many yet believe that Mr. Colfax will be placed second on the Grant ticket. This ‘will make it necessary to select a new Speaker ot the House, and several names are mentioned, among them T. M. Pomeroy, of New York. James M. Blaine, of Maine, and G. W. Julian, of Indiana, all of whom will probably be re- elected. Mr. Blaine is, perhaps, the most pop- ular, and he is on intimate terms with the lead- ing friends of General Grant in Congress. THE PRIZE yen LEGAL PROCEED. CAmNET MAKING.—Statements have been made that certain gentlemen named, have been fixed upon to occupy places in Mr. Wade's Cabinet should he come into the Presidential chair.

MR STANDERY TO Sreak.—It was stated this. morning, by Chief Justice Chase, ia cen. versation, that it was Mr. Stanbery’s iutention to deliver his argument in person.

At this point Mr. Evarts referred to the argument of Mr. Senator Summer Who, when the tenure-ot-olfice law was originally under consideration urged that some fixed minimum punishment be iwre-ted, and gave as a renson that a court might try case woder political bias, and } Un shmentexcepta nominal on» would then inflicted. To this argument, atthe time Sene- tors Senators Edmunds and Williams replied that this was not to be considered a hemnons offener, but a mere political offecer, and that fixed punishment Was mot necessary, That would be the case under an indictment like the case if the respondent i convicted, his punishment is irrevocable and terrible, and a Punishment of infamy and one greater thao he can bear, These considerations were Guced simply to show that the penalty support in reason or law; none in co7 sense, and none in support of reat people the Senate represents The extremity ofthe law fe otten the extremity of wickedness. He was now prepared to con- sider the general nature of the offence» charged He should endeavor to consider three prop )- sitions —First, that the alleged infranctions of these penal inws are not impeachable offen. under amy color or evidenee. Second, that the subjects at issue are political, not judicial, and are not proper to be considered in this Court o any otber court, but at the great forum before the people on the bustings. Third, that the Precise weight of the tacts that none of the alleged infractions have been proved to b- facts. We must separate, for the pu: argument, the inuendos, the imsinuations, th ageravations that find a lodgment with’ t) Managers, or, perchance, m your own hearts, from the trae political Limit of discussio ection. It appears that up to 12 o'clock on the zistof February the President was inaocent, bad done nothing which was an impeachable effence The act was committed before one e'clock. What wes the act! It was as had been said, a uew offence. It was if any a political offence. It was to remove one (flicer and substitute another. It had no other action, no otber plan, aud would have had no other consequence within the limit of this indictment than the substitution for Mr. Stanton of another American citizen, with the advice and consentof the Senate. The i od interim appointment was only until time. It did net involve any change in the Policy of the administration, no danger to the satety of the State, and howe ver great the credit With the two Houses which the Seoretary of War, Mr. Stanton, enjoyed, it cannot be denied that .t was held by many public men, and gen- erally among thoughtfal and considerate peo- ple that the situation in which there was a Antagonism between the President and the bead of a Department was not conducive to the | public service: and however some might claim and believe that the politics of Mr. Stanton were better than those of the Presi. dent, it could not be contended thai that was any renson why the whole ma- chinery of Government should be disarranged This vew Jaw certainly effected an entire rey. lution in the practice ‘of the Government, It affected no other man im the United States but the President, and meant as much as if it had said directly the President shall be fined and imprisoued if he removes & man from office. 1t Was a direct invasion of the right which had always been claimed under the Constitution by the President, and when he is placed in the Position of surrendering up his own rights.and Hf be refuses to do it, be cannot by any reason be adjudged guiity of a crime in a moral point of view.

At 2.30 p. m. the Court again came to order. Mr. Evarts resumed. He was quite a1 at the manner in which the learned Man: bore down on those who obeyed the Constitu- tion Ss contradistinguished toa law. It is the duty of the profession to defend all acts done under the Constituuon. An officer whose duty | it is to give force toa law by its execution, is | bound to do it under the provisions of the Uon- stitution, and appeals to them for support. An officer im the State of New York undertook toand did raise a loan of eight or ten millions, when a draft in payment was presented to Mr. Noell, the Auditor, He refused to pay it, although the six million loan was made in pursvance of law. Tis officer, according to the Managers, ought to be impeached. The Supreme Gor decided the law constitutional, but on an ap- peal to the Court of Appeals, it was Unconstitutonal. The President, bound by oath to protect and éefend the Co: seeks to have an unconstitational law as he | believes, brought into the Courts, and for this action of bis the remedy of impeachment is ssought. Not long since the Legislature of New York made a levying & tax on | broker's sales in New ¥rk, which would have Tealized $1,100,000, and they made it penal for any broker not to give a bond to observe the law. Now was it very wicked i Vise the brokers that the shortest the maiter was to refuse to give thebond. A broker was indicted for refusing to pay a tax on sales of coffee, and be (at, E.) not required to come to the Supreme Court of the United States for a vindi- | cation of the Constitution.
