The following speech was made by Judge Black, on the evening of the 8th, at the National Hotel, at the banquet given m honor of the.fifty-second,anniversary of the battle of Now Orleans. The speech Was made in response to a toast compli? menting the TJnitdd States Supreme Court: ["Mr- Chairman: In the history of this country, it has nover Defore been thought necessary either to toast the'Supreme Court, or defend it. But times have changed. .Very recently, attacks full of bitter malignity have been made on that tribunal,- and measures ate deliberately taken to break down its just authority. Considering by whom these assaults are r$'ade, and .what the object of them is, it TKPuld, perhaps, be better to encourage them, since it is certain that, in the long run)- thev can, do no harm to anybody but1 their authors. If you have a viper to: djeal"with, or a nest of vipers, it is petter to keep them biting at a file than: any? thing-they can lay their teeth to. Still it nay not be inappropriate to look, for a moment, at the occasion of the present persecution. ,V3Ehree private citizens of Indiana, per? fectly innocent of any offence?I say per* fteth) innocent, because, up to that time/ inhuman being has ever legally sworn e5trent to.a belief of their guilt?these citi? zens were, arrested, kidnapped, and car? ried before a body of men wholly without power to meddle with them?not author? ized, even to swear a witness for them or against them?and there, after a proceed? ing which it would be mockery to call , a trial, they were ordered tone killed on a certain 'fixed' day. In this condition of thingsi the> judicial authorities intervened, and, with the aid of President Johnson, the victims were rescued. ? When the cause came into the Supreme Court, the simple question was, whether .^'citizen could be lawfully deprived of his life without a fair, honesttrial before an iinpartiul juiy and a regular court ? To this there could be but one answer, and that answer, was given unanimously all the judges yielding their full and unre? served assent to it. They held, in effect, t hat the pretended trial was a conspiracy, and that the execution, if it had taken place, would have been a mere lawless murder. What else could they do ? To l^mot men without judge or jittv, is an act s$ ci|?K3yf "forbidden hy the fundamental l?w>itR?t'oo*one can ~raate any-mistafee about it, if he has sense enough to know his right hand from his left The prohi? bition is written down as plain as any oneiof the ton commandments; there is not a sentence in the Lord's Prayer more. wnrple; not a moral precept can be found iu the child's primer that is more easily , understood. Yet the court is villipehded, apd abused and slandered for saying it.. The organs of disunion and anarchy pub? licly proclaim their determination to dis? regard the, decision, not because it is er? roneous, but because it confines their pWer by limits inconveniently narrow. They declare that they will do, in defi? ance of-ft; whatever gratifies thoir own purposes or promotes their own interests;, a'nd they impudently use this very ex? pression : "If the law stands in our way, so much the. worse for the law." *Hri'Thaddeus Stevens, the leader and driver of the present Congress, denounces this decision on the floor of the Houso. To my certain knowledge, he knows it to be perfectly right. The senseless twad? dle about hanging American citizens by tho law of nations, on criminal accusa? tions of their own Government^ could not for a single instant impose on an under? standing like his. But he denounces the judges tor deciding what he knows and what they know to be_ true, for no con? ceivable reason, except his desire that his particular-friends may continue to enjoy the delightful luxury of shedding innocent blood. The judges, and all who think with thenf; are called traitors, because they de? clare tho Constitution to mean what it says, and because they will not violate it themselves, or permit its violation by others, when they can prevent it. If this conflict for and against the Constitution implies treason on either side, the guilt does not lie at our door. It is not the: man who sustains and loves, and believes i in the laws of his country?it is not-such a man that can be justly called a traitor. But if there be an American citizen any- j wfrere, who, with an oath upon his con? science to support the Constitution, would make war upon it, subvert it by brute force,-and take away the defences it af- j fords to life, liberty and property, leaving them to the mercy of mobs, murderers, kipnappers, military commissions, and bureaus of military justice?such a man is thoroughly a traitor. "Aye, from the extremist upward of his head, To the descent and dust beneath his feet, A most toad-spotted traitor." These arrows which they cast against us, barbed and poisoned with the accusa? tion of-treason, rebound frem-??r impene? trable armor and fall harmless at our feet; for we are shielded and helmed, and woap onedwith the truth; but if we choose to take them up and send them back at our adversaries, we would leave them quiv? ering in their very hearts. A great truth, on which the safety of society, and the safety of individual rights must depend, is in its nature indestructible. You may crush it to-day,-but it will re-appear and vindicate itself to-morrow. . On. the other hand, nothing is so evanescent or so fickle as the passions that spring from the in? terests and prejudices of the hour. Let the lessons of history be heeded. Titus Oates, Bedloe, and Dangerfield enjoyed a far greater measure of popular confidence that over was bestowed on Mr. Holt, Mr. Conover, Mr. Campbell, alias Hoaro, or by all the officers, agents, spies, delators aud witnesses of the military bureau put together. They?I mean Oates and com pany?were loudly applauded in Parlia? ment; tHey were the former favorites of the British people, and they were the Yery darlings of all the political preach? ers. They held the life and honor of the nation in their hands. If they but point? ed a finger at an individual, he was doom- j ed, and no purity of previous character, no proof of innocence, however clear, could, save him from destruction. Such was their overflowing prosperity one |yearjjbut before the nexjt came round, these wretcTiecT miscreanfs^were howling at the cart's tail, under the lash of tho public executioner, and the whole popula? tion of London was dappling its hands with joy. Let the man who puts his trusts in a false popularity beware of the rebound which is sure to come, sooner or later. It is written down amon<? the un <mangeabTe decrees of Almighty God,lhat* no lie shall live forever; and especially is this true of a great, monstrous, bloody lie like this which the Supreme Court has put its broad foot upon. I have spoken of the court as a collec- i tive body. AH the judges concurred in the decision of the question before them; On a merely speculative point, which.lay outside of the record, there was a dissent. The.-minority was wrong, of course, as all minorities are. Each judge, however, met his. duty to the case itself, and all are therefore entitled to tho reverence and respect which is justly shown to tho high? est talent, coupled with the purest integ? rity. Blut one among, them is primus in? ter pares, not because he is bettor orl greater than the others, but because ho is I mor^fortunatc.. 'He was selected as the organ of the majority, and gave expres? sion to.their judgment. The thoughts that breathe and the words that burn all over that opinion are his thoughts and his word&j j-T.he irresistible* logic which goes through and through all adverse ar? gument,, and the felicity of illustration'I which makes the whole subject blaze with light, are all his own. That great pro? duction wili'bowa guide and. a-land-mark for all future time; it identifies its author j forever with the sacrod cause of constitu? tional liberty, and makes his "One of the few, the immortal names, That were not born to die." Itpgivos him a position to which no:j e?rttily Biaxioh'can add any dignity; for' a man of just ambition would always rather be a public benefactor than to hold high office. Mr. Chairman, When y<^ recollect that the court has saved us frvn nothing less than tho total overthrow of onr free Gov? ernment; and when you observe the roar? ing and foaming of the calumny which assails it, I think you will agree with me, that it is the duty of every Christian man in America to put up a morning and eve? ning pra3'cr for the long life, of all the judges, and the perpetual preservation ot their just authority. -o "Will the Peotle Submit to It ??The proposition introduced in the House of | Representatives to impeach tho Presi? dent meets with no responsivo echo in | the hearts of the people. On the contra? ry, nothing but condemnation of the in? famous measure has yet been manifested either by the masses or the press of the country. Even the most extreme of the radical journals deprecate the movement as wild, impracticable, and only calcula? ted to benefit and strengthen the Presi? dent, and to ultimate in damage and in? jury to the Republican party. Indeed, | we have yet to meet with the first paper ot standing or influence with any party that has ventured to commend the step, or to speak of it in tormsatall favorable. Referring to this subject, the Constitution? al Union, published at Washington city, says: "It is monstrous, however, that a man like Andrew Johnson, who has had no ambition in life but to serve his country, who has devoted himself zealously and self-sacrificingly to her best interests, should be so assailed by men who are traitors to the Constitution, and who have declared officially that it the "law stands in the way" of their schemes, "so much the worse for that Jpw." We tell them that the country is tired of this thing. The people will not permit the impeach- J ment of President Johnson. And if radicalism does not come to its senses soon, the people of the country will take the matter in their own handB, and abol? ish ralicalism. We speak whereof we know." Wiekes Booth.?The Vicksburg (Miss.) Times, after giving a rumor, which ran the rounds of tho press, to the effect that J. Wiekes Booth was really in the land of the living, makes the following remarks: The above, with many other statements bearing upon their faces equally strong ev? idence that John Wilkes Booth was not killed, have been going the rounds of j .the ? press, and, without * any; de? sire to add another sensation paragraph to the already long list on this subject, we make the following statement: There is a gentleman residing within a day's travel of Vicksburg (a personal friend Of one of the editors of this paper) who, if he has not shaved his moustache very recently, bears a remarkable resem? blance to the local photographs of Booth; and long after the reported death of this actor, this man was arrested in Louisville, Ky., for Booth, and was compelled to un? dergo a strict examination, and establish his indentity, before ho was released. The question is a very pertinent one: Why were detectivos in search of the man who killed Mr. Lincoln long after that man. was reported doad? "The New Conspiracy." Under this head Forney discusses the proceedings of the recent New Orleans banquet, in which he reads the plans of President Johnsoti'to overthrow the Radi? cal Congress by a coup d'etat. Forney's object is obviously to stimulate the work of impeachment. Ho says: The rebel banquet held in Washington on the 8th instant, ostensibly to celebrate the anniversary of New Orleans, was availed of to disclose the programme of the new conspiracy for the overthrow of the Government down to the point of another civil war. : That the war is determined upon by" the.President and"hi? friends that it is essential to the accomplishment of his ulterior purpose of establishing dictatorship, and is the most popular of all the methods suggested for the perpetu at ion of his power and through him of Southern domination, was made apparen by tho vociferous applause which greeted Jack Rogersrdeclarations.' He said "that if the electoral votes of the Southern States and the Conservatives of the North should constitute a majority at the next regular Presidential election^ and should the Radicals dispute the right of their President to control the Government, he for one, was for calling out the army of the country. [Tremendous cheering.]? Theissue would come and the brave would meet it. No one should close his eyes to the fact that this issue would have to be met." It was dt a banquet to celebrate Jeffer son's birthday in 1830 that the programme of South Carolina nullification was dis? closed, and the principles which terminn ted in rebellion were enunciated. Jack son, the then President, saw through the purposes of Calhoun and his co-conspira tors, and met them upon tho threshold with his famous opposition toast, "The Federal Union?it must be preserved."? But, the present instance, the President of the United States is the head of,the conspiracy and expects himself to be the chief beneficiary of the revolution now in auguratod. Tho Blairs, well known as unscrupulous schemers for power, figure as major-domos, while the President ap pears in the character of a guest; yet who can doubt that the whole array of toasts were duly known and considered beforehand by the chief actors in this ban? quet 1 It is the launching of a new revo? lutionary programme, and, as Rogers truly says, "must bo met." . Sifted of all surplusage the toasts at this inaugural movement of a new revolution intended to make Johnson dictator mean this: That Andrew Johnson is the defender of the Union from the assaults of its enemies; that Congress is opposed to the Union; that the Supreme Court is a supporter of the President's views; that the laws passed by Congress .to reconstruct the Union will not be executod by tho Presi? dent, and that his non-executiori of them will bo justified by the Supreme Court on tho ground of their nnconstitutionality; that the rights of the States are inde? structible and tho right of representation unquestionable. What is perfectly plain is this: that the Southern conspiracy is fully re-inaugura? ted, with the President at its head; that his declaration of principles is final, and as sure to guide his action as if an official proclamation, and that under cover of de? votion to the Federal Union he means to organize war against tho plan of recon? struction adopted by tho representatives of the people. This it is not desirable should be precipitated before the Presi? dential election, but they feel secure, if, with Johnson in possession of the Gov? ernment, its vast patronage, its army, navy, and treasury at disposal, the South? ern electoral vote should not be counted. The only question for Congress to con? sider is, whether they will precipitate this issue now with the people on their sido, or complicate it with the.burdens and is? sues of the next two years. A Curious Case,?An interesting law case is pending in the United States Su? preme Court. The Grey Jacket, a vessel built aud owned by Timothy Meaher, of Mobile, Alabama, was captured by a United States vessel and condemned as a prize of war. The claimant now prays for a reversal of the decree of court by which the vessel was condemned and the payment to him of the proceeds of the sale. He claims to have remained loyal to the United States, and alleges that ho was unable to leave the Confederacy until the time of his capture. He states that he built the Grey Jacket and loaded her with cotton for the purpose of escaping with his family to a loyal State, and when he got outside of the port of Mobile gave himself up to a United States vessel and demanded protection. He claims that his vessel cannot be libelled and condemn? ed asablockade-runnor, because, although she did run the blockade, it was with no criminal intent, but merely for the pur? pose of placing himself and property under the protection of the United States. Apart from the amount of money involv? ed, which is about three hundred thou? sand dollars, the points of law which will be decided are of the highest importance, and are looked forward to with great in? terest by a large number ot persons. The principal questions are: First, that of the right of persons to remove proper* ty from the South after -two years from the beginning of the war; and second, the power of the Secretary of the Treasu? ry to remit forfeitures of property cap? tured and condemned under the law of war. Still another question?one of fact-Ma whether Mr. Meaher really surrendered willingly; and furthermore, whether if he could nave gone scot-free of the blockade, he would not have run his vessel into an English port. We opine that the latter, must have been his real destination. Congressional Washington, Jan. 15. In the Senate, Mr. Willey presented a memorial for a constitutional amendment abolishing all inequality in political rights on account of race and color. In tho House, on motion of Mr. Cobb, the Committee on claims was instructed to ascertain and report the facts connect? ed with the capture of Jefferson Davis, and the connection of tho Fourth Michi? gan and First Wisconsin Cavalry Regi? ments therewith. The committee has power to.send for persons and papers. In the House, the bill for the admission of Colorado was passed by 90 against 58. Washington, Jan. 16. In the- Senate, the amendment to the Nebraska bill was taken up. Mr. Wade favored, and Mr. Edmunds-opposed the amendment.; The probabilities are in fa? vor of the concurrence of the House. In the House, the Secretary of the In? terior was instructed to report in refer? ence to accommodations for Clerk of Cir? cuit and District Courts of the United Statos in North Carolina, and whether legislation is necessary to secure the re? cords. In the Senate, there were eleven peti? tions from North Carolina nogrocs, fa? voring Stevens' bill. The bill for the admission of Nebraska and Colorado, with the House amend? ment, passed by 29 to 14, and now goes to the President. The House Judiciary Committee has been instructed to report in writing what legislation is necessary to enable three fourths of the represented States to ratify tho constitutional amendments that have passed Congress. When Stevens' enabling bill was dis? cussed, Mr. Payno opposed the second section. Mr. Bingham said the bill instead of being one of reconstruction was one of de? struction ; instead of restoration was for disunion and perpetual dismemberment. He showed the absurdity of denying the Southern Statos being States by showing that Congress, the Courts and the Execu? tive had recognized them. Washington, Jam 17. In tho Senate, Mr.' Sumner presented the petition of the Texas loyalists asking a Republican Government for that State. The tenure of office bill was taken up. Sumner spoke, and, during his speech, used words to tho effect, that it was the first time we had a President who was an enemy to tho country. He.was called to order. The Chair decided Sumner's words proper for debate. An appeal was taken, and tho Chair, after a highly exci? ting debate, was .sustained. . Iiv the House, the amendment forbid? ding the oxclusion of witnesses from the Court of Claims because of color or inter? est in the" case was adopted. The Ways and Means Committee was instructed to inquire into the expediency of making the tariff for silks specific, in? stead of ad valorem. Washington, Jan. 18. In tho Senate, a communication from Gov. Brainlott, of Kentucky, was read, announcing tho rejection of the amend? ment. It was laid on tho table. The tenure of office bill was taken up, Sumner, under license of tho vote report? ed yesterdayj proceeded to denounce the President bitterly. Reverdy Johnson made a point that Sumner was disqualify? ing himself from acting in a judiciary ca? pacity, should the President come before the Senate. In connection with the re? port that Cowan would bo Secretary of War, Howe said he would oppose Stan ton's removal. Mr. Buckalew said that report was groundless. The bill passed by 29 to 9. It excepts Cabinet officers and Judges of the Supreme Court. Other officers shall be appointed as at present, and hold until successors are appointed in like manner. The President may sus? pend for misconduct or inability, appoint? ing temporarily suitable persons. The President shall furnish the Senate evidence on which the suspension is based. If the suspension is confirmed, a new appoint? ment to be made ; otherwise, the suspend? ed officer resumes his functions. The President may fill vacancies from death or resignation, to hold until the termina? tion of the next session. Acceptance of office, removal from office, and signing, sealing and countersigning commission contrary to the provisions of the bill, are declared high misdemeanors, punishable by fine and imprisonment not exceeding 810,000 or five years. ? In the House, a resolution was adopted forbidding the Commissioner of Agricul? ture from purchasing and distributing na? tive seeds. The Banking Committee reported a bill authorizing the issue of non-interest bear? ing notes fbr the extinguishment of the national debt. Tho Republican Association, in Wash? ington, is engaged in procuring evidence for the impeachment of the President.? They have adopted a bill for reconstruc? tion, which provides that the appointing power shall be rested in the President and Senate of the United States. The Provisional Government is to be compos? ed of one Provisional Governor and thir? teen loyal citizens, in each State, as a leg? islative power. The Governor shall be chosen from loyal citizens over twenty five years of age, and who did not sign any secession ordinances, and who havo not held office of any kind under the Con? federate Government; that the legislative I council and Governor thus selected shall have absolute control of the Governments of the non-reconstructed States,and have' power to pass all laws on proper subjects for legislation. All laws, acts, &c, of leg? islative bodies and offices since the adop? tion of tho secession ordinances are abro? gated. The j Provisional Government shall-exis^ untifa constitutional conven-' ! tion of loyalists, elected without distinc? tion of color as to voters, excluding only leading robols, shall adopt a Republican Constitution acceptable to Congress. The right of appeal is to be given litigants from judgments rendered in courts since secession. -? A Leap from the History or Thad. Stevens.?The following chapter in the history of Thad. Stevens appoared in the Lancaster Intelligencer some years ago, and was written by the present editor of the Washington Chronicle, who is now be? slobbering the Pennsylvania agitator with the most fulsome eulogies, and seconding his efforts to work out the mischief and destruction with which he charged him of being capable more than a quarter of a century since. Stevens has not changed' in the least. But how about Porney ?? The following is the pen and ink sketch : "Thaddens Stevens, we are glad to say, is not d Pennsylvanian. His own history proves that he'came hither a stranger to her people, and has continued at^11 times consistently adverse to her interests. He has boen since his unfortunate presence in the Legislature, Pennsylvania's evil genius, and if she had degenerated at all, and three past years of herlifeprove that she has, he planned the misfortune. We will not repeat here his utter destitution of reputation, for his career is one of that kind which could only have been run by a villian at heart. Pennsylvania has three blemishes on her escutcheon : The Masonic inquisition, tho chartering of the United States Bank, and the present out? rageous condition of affairs. The first, it is not requsite to say, ho originated and completed. Tho second was tho fit? ting offsping of his brain; for ho read that infamons bill before tho Ritner Houso of Representatives. The last (the Buckshot war) is his own by every law of right. Ho bogan tho anarchy?it is the sad consequence x>f his own plans.? He dissolved the Goverment. Ho is now urging the Senate to go on in its path of destruction. He is emphatically "the power behind throne." Tho last is a des? perate and final plunge. It wifl oither make or unmake him. If it is successful, he can cover up the festering infamy of his life and savo himself and his compan? ions from impending ruin. If it is unsuc? cessful, ho will be spurned not only from the hall of the Legislature, but from the very State?if the lawspormit his escape." -.-? . - Murder op Col. Steedman Dy Ne? groes.?One of the bravest, best, most popular, most honorable, most amiable citi? zens of Lexington District?of all South Carolina?was Col. Marcellus Steedman, leader, for some timo during tho late war, of the 6th Volunteers. Since the close of] tho war he has been living on his farm on Edisto, and been engaged at tho same time in merchandize. His dwelling and his store were under the same roof. On; Tuesday night the 5th inst., he walked out into his piazza, and as he turned to go in. was shot by some persons unseen. As he fell, be cried out. His wife rushed forth, dragged him in and bolted the door. He survived but three hours.? Tho wretched and bereaved woman, with her two little childern, spent the whole night alone with tho corpso, fearing to give the alarm. Immediately upon tho shot being fired, there was a hubbub of voices, and Col. Steedman recognized those of two negro j men, formerly slaves of bis father. This,: with their names, he disclosed to his wife before he died. And sure enough, on tho following day, the two monsters were arrested in Aiken. They made full confession. It seems that they had followed Sherman when he pas? sed through Lexington, and had not re? turned thither untHa fortnight before the murder. This fortnight they had spent in watching their chance. They had no frudge against their former young master, ut knowing that he was in business, they killed him with the design of getting mon? ey and robbing the store. They intended also to murdor the lady and children; but with the first shot thoir hearts failed them. We take it for granted they are in Barn well jail. Col. Steedman was only about thirty years of &#a.~Edgefield Advertiser. -;-+iL Truth, Well Told.?The piquant "Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial, who is not a conservative, nor the corres? pondent of a conservative paper, in speak? ing of the MilligaU decision, has the can? dor to say: If there is one thing of which the peo? ple of this country is more heartily sick than the war itself, it is the very things which the Supreme Court has decided il? legal and uneonstitutional. Long after the battle of -carnage shall have been for? gotten, recollection of these infamous tri? bunals of injustice and oppression will live in the memory of the American people, and tho only wonder that they were so quietly submitted to and elicited no more marked demonstration of disapproval than tho condemnation of a political speech or the dissent of a now6paper edi? torial. Provost Marshals, Adjutant Gen? eral and Judge Advocates sprang from the dry goods counters and bar-rooms of the country, full armed in the panoply of war, like Pallas from the brain of Jove? and the sound of war was not enough for them; they must have the sound of justice, too. If General Grant or General Sher? man or any other offioor conoeived a pre? judice against anybody, all he had to do was to turn him over to a set of brass buttoned tumbler-washers or epaulettod counter-jumpers?and if thej wouldn't convict him, there was no use of anybody else trying it?that's all. ?-* ? Quilp thinks there is no need of i troubling ourselves about our debt topos ' terity, until posterity asks for payment. The Great Commoner at Home. If Thaddeus Stevens is a power in the House of Representatives at Washington, his influence at the capitol of Pennsylva? nia seems to be of a less formidable char? acter. It appears that in the Republican caucus at Harrisburg he only received seven votes for the nomination for Sena? tor- The following dispatch to the Na? tional Intelligencer explains: Harrisburg, Jan. 10.?The Republican caucus mit this evening. Speaker Hall was chosen chairman. The caucus re? mained in session only half an hour. No speeches wore made. Simon Came? ron was nominated for Senator oh the first ballot. The vote was as follows r Cameron; 46; Curtin, '23j Stevens, 7; Grow, 5: All the Republican members were present except Lancaster county Senators.

Mr. Cam? eron, who was in private life, was not a "great commoner," had not the gift of or? atory, occupied no "bad eminence" through -the trick of the partisan pen, had not urged, we believe, the polioy of renewing war upon the South by sending an "army, in three columns, to burn, kiH and possess the land," had not incited a mob in Philadelphia to slaughter the* peaceful delegates to a National Conven? tion, had not intrigued to foment treason and insurrection against the authorities > of a State, was nevertheless doomed^ tj>. endure assaults from Washington of those, who, habituated by the insolence, and die*, tatorialncss of office, thought to crush him by concerted efforts. How utterly barren were the rclnlts of the "pompous prologue to the swelling theme!" Mr. Stephens repaired in "pride of power and place" to Harrisburg.., He was followed by tho editor of the Chronicle,-for both of whom, it was announced by telegraph, suites of parlors had been put in suitable-, state of preparation for the; arrival of men who supposed themselves so capable of riding the whirlwind and .directing tho storm. Their levers. couH move the, world of radicalism. They came, saw, and were demolished. Scarce a sign is left of them.
