The Com refer to the pardoning of one hundred and i -three deserters in West Virginia during th m order that they might vote in accordant ?he opinions of the President. The tenor Kxecutire offenses throughout the report o I iii alleged usurpation of Ute powers ab f tioned. j limy assert also that, by various o ! other public Joela rations, the President h to obstruct the laws ol'Congress for pi of the Southern States, with particular * ? the Constitutional Amendments ap] Congress. The report is signed by Boutwell, Churchill, Thomas and Lawrence. The minority report of Wilson aud Wc .-imply condemns the political views of t dent, windi they were willing to censure. 1 The minoritv report of Eldridge and strongly defends the President against t of his political enemies, and asserts that fault consists in not holding to the politii of a party which elected him, in subjuga South. The report is caustic, and abuses oome of the witnesses who testified be Committee.

Tho points made out in the suini of the majority report against Ihe-Fresi not horno out by the testimony: 1st, A President's having usurped the powers gross in organizing Governments in tho S States. It will bc lound in General Granl mon) that Hie programme which was folio by Mr. Johnson had been laid down by ? coln.

The only active | took Wis in restraining the President's ardor prominent rebels like Loo brought to c punishinc it. As to tho pardon of pro rebels, it appears that many of the most neut ot* them wero pardoned on tho rocomi tion of Grant, Speed, Stanton, etc. As to the pardoning of s-ome hundred from a Western Virginia regiment, which port alleges was don? in ordor that they vote for a D?mocratie member of Congi appears from tho evidence that thoy wei technically deserters, that they were not pa until sorao weeks after the election, and tl President merely endorsed the application usual form, leferring it to the Secretary o who himself granted it. The Committee in into the possession by the President ol < Tennessee bonds, on the supposition that h session ol them might have some conneetio tho release f the property of Southern Rt Companies, but it appears that Mr. Johns( been posbossor of those bonds for tho last years. lu reference to the trial of Jefferson Dav toniev-Gonoral Speed, in tho counsel for the eminent, shoulders all responsibUity of not hun.

There was an attempt on the part of Lafi C.

Ou this subject tho Chief tico suggests that a twenty-franc piece corresp ins to the French Napoleon should bo call .'Union," and s ten-franc piece an "eagle." reason nc assigns for tho adoptiou of this 1101 claturo is that the word ..union" would reco<? the uniform currency in force by all the s. powers ol' tho world, and the eagle figures pr ncntly as a representativo emblem among dirie nations. Germany is expected also soon to joii Convention, which will compel England to fo her old fogy notions, ab dish her aboutir svslom, and adopt a currency which thc f maritime interests of the world demand.

[From the London Hrald, Xwmber 9.1 The trial of Jefferson Drvis is b ;ommenc< weeli. The Chief Justice of thc ?Supremo him consented to lay asidi the scruples, whit duced him to refuse to held any Judicial sil iu Virgin a while Congress keeps ?at State i martial law, and to preside at thi trial of tl President ol the Confederacy, ttis must cause of rejoicing to all concerned,and espe to the Government of tho Unitet States. Chase in a vehement and extrem? partisan tho arrangements ut the Suprem. Court d seem to permit ot such au intercbmgo of dis as would be possible in England; nd the alt tive would bo a trial before Jingo Unden whose presidency would have rendered trial a palpablo mockery of jestie. Mr. Cl high otlicial rank, hfe political and per; in?ueuco, and his l-jra] educaton, render at least as fit a representative of Federal tice as any Republican Judge could bc. courso a really fair trial is an utter impossit The issues likely to bo raised are of i partv ch ter, on which every man in Americi has Ions made up his mind; and it would sca-cely bo j. bio to find, in the whole areaof thaUnion, ai biassed judge or twolve perfectly inpartial ju Nevertheless it is honorable to Anerica that a trial can take place without fear if a result would exasperate one half the naton and di.-r. the other. Nowhere bot in Engaud, and ii English-speaking country beymd tho Atla could a person of such rank, bi tried on su .bargo with any show of Justice jr any prospc omer issue than a cordemnation ' to death, ono entertains tho siightejt fear for the life of ^ohf.'derato leador. Andthis ii ono satisfat ccnaoquonce of the loug dela; that has li pitre. , We have said that a really impartial trial simp1* impossibility, and this, not only bec the atquttal or conviction ot the prisoner t upon a (onstitutioial question, which was for j the subjojt of aniry controversy, and at lost c to be decited by .mo sword; but because Doli issnos of gnat "iuportance, upoi which Amer parties arc ?nil livided, aro" involved in that q tion, and mustoo at least fosmdly decided by verdict. If )!;. Davis be convicted of treaso must be on t^ ground'that th? act of seces was invalid, ad that a citizen of Mississippi o the Federal Gt ernment au alhgiarce parami to that which eula confessed!,- be claimed b} State. His acqittal would asiert a contrary trino-would p'mounce that the Slates were eroign, at least t far as the citizen is c?ncen and that secess^, wa8 a VaBd act. Now, tl aro points on whij ovory American partisan what American Loot a partisan ?-ontortaii strong and oven n^ry conviction one way or other, a conviction ot likely to be affected by legal argument. ?teteen-twentioths of the w citizens of Virginia-n their hearts believe Davis to be legally mocent. A negro jury Radical jury would ?rtainly convict. But to negroes on tho jury,n ?aioh a trial would b outrago on justice anqocanov, and it would n tho most barefaced Icking' to collect a jur white Radicals. It is orthy of notice that i thor division of opinioond interest, ari9in:r f tho collateral consoquoie3 0f the opposite cor tutional doctrines, pro>bj among tho Radi themselves. While mos0f them, recrardlesi mere legal consistency, asert at once the gality of secession and he right of North conquest, others-amoDtwhom, wo believe Mr. Creely-porceivo tit, these two thoo mutually exclude each o\-r. If socossion invalid,"thou the Soutar^ States were nt vid-ul'..tbUnion. sn?.?iw, nr.tH of ii involve the forfeiture of-tjb ngura ot States; and thus the condepation of Mr. Di on tho charge of treason weld involve the 1< consequence that tho Soutrn States aro in possession of all their domcc and Federal rig] and would carry with it thiondemnation of whole legislation of Congressubsequently to war. If, on the other band, cession was a Ic: ly accomplished fact, then t| South is a conqt ed country, and must abidtho pleasure of conqueror's; but then Mr. ?via ia not a tra: but a prisoner of war. Teoically, thora can no doubt that this uilemi is justly put; I technical legality has beenntemptuously dis garded in the recent legislan of Congress. S it ia worth while to note tl tho logical inter of tho Radicals lies not in c conviction, but tho acquittal, of thc Confaato President; i that moro than one of thefcaders has beou b enough to avow thia fact. J We sav, then, that the g?nois of tho politi intercala involved makes itactically impoasi that thc trial should bc a fjono; that is, that I issuo should ho decided its loRal morita, argued beforo tho courted that Mr. Da ahuuld be acquitted or cotted, simply as it i pears that his conduct war was not tcchnica treasonable But wo do t, theroforo, say tl tho verdict ia a foregone cdusion, for wo e?ni , tell what view the jury, ?von tho people, m finally tako of the very cplicatcd questions 1 bc brought before tliem..owevor that may 1 I one thing ia earnestly dtbd, and that is "tl - Mr. Davis's conviction r not be followed , any sentence implying ital punishment. , the first place, it is ar that tho moi responsibility of bis actsthared hy the whe South, and ought not bo visited on a ? single mun.

When he reach ed the spot where I committed the/awx pas, he waa divested to good swimming costume, and dove like an otter into the swollen stream. He soon arose some distance below where the pun was, having been swept by the tide, but called for a stout rope; it was procured, and ho plunged again be? neath, carrying thc end of the ropo, remained un until he had secured it about the carriage, and again floated to tho surface like a cork and struck out for the shore. We all grasped th? rope, and a stout pull lodged the gun (we thought lost) on the bank, ready for inspection. I saw him a fow min? utes later, "stretched complacently at full length, with his chin supported by the loft palm, figuring out a theory that afterwards was put in telling practice, namely a torpedo. It was a favorite sport for Oeneral Elliott to gather terrapins from alligator holes, and his mon well remember hiB grotesque appearance when he once returned from such an excursion with both legs of his unmentionables filled wich these hard? backs. The comrade who attonded him on this excursion stated that the Captain (his rank then) had goue into tho alligator's den, turned the monster out, and appropriated the terrapins to his own use. On ono occasion, one of his friends (all his mon were friends) was poking into a hole with a stick, when ho discovered something rough, said he, "Captain, i think a 'gator is in there." 'Til see, he replied, and in ho went, bearing the noose of ti rope. The muddy pool was no little disturbed in the short timo he was out of sight; but out he carno, and with the aid of some mer; about, unearthed the grim animal and dispatehed him. Captain Elliott was prolific of ruse da guerre. A picket on Port Royal became an eyesore to him, and ho broke up tho post in this wise. Manning a boat with trusty fellows, he bade them row toward thc picket post. Before each rower was his gun. "Fire," said he. "when I mention the name o f the Yankee General (Saxton, I think,) upon the ap? proach of the boat." it waa challenged, "Halt-who comes there ?" " Tis me, massa, heap o' man and ooman; run away, sah; wo yorree 'bout massa Saxton-" A dozen barrels belched their flames of death upon tho unsuspecting picket, and a few minutes later he was quietly appropriating for himself and squad such little n?ck-nacl?B aa wo "rebs" only enjoyed whon thus tskon. Tho post, ot course, was aban? doned; but the pocls of gore showod that "some? body was hurt." Again, at tho same post, the enemy because un? pleasant to him. It was thc 4th cf July when he thought of stirrins' them up. He had been or? dered to fire tho national salute of thirteen guns; and concluded, in so doiug, to waste no powder. Away he vent with his splendid battery to Port Royal Ferry; the guns of the enemy b- Ho wed forth the "glorious 4th," and "Hail Columby" was strained everywhere. Elliott brought bis pieces to bear on the picket hou?e, where a company were in perfect ignorance of anything except the Star Spangled Banner, and his saluto ot tuirteen was fired with precision, as to time and aim. As tho last sholl crashed through the hom c, it vas too late to catch a Yank; the company had skedaddled, and Elliott, with his men, crossed with a boat and burned the house, leaving tho sito ashen pile. Pincknev Island had been occupied by the onomy. They established a company Bnugly in view of permanency; but Elliott resolved to dis? turb their ease. A detail of tho Beaufort artillery, assisted by an equal number of Captain Mickler's company, commauded by their respective officers, landed near the picket." To gag and socure him was short work; and, while the enemy slept, were seen the dusky figuren of tho "rebs" surrounding the house and cutting off escape. Then was beard Elliott's commanding voice, "Surrender I" It palsied tiiem with terror. Some attempted to escape; some made show of fight; but the work was short and decisive, and every man was cap. tured, except such as were slain in tho effort to es? cape. A heavily armed vessel blockaded St. Helena. She was tended by a cutter. Elliott had seen her until he wearied of her picture. I saw him leave on the cars, with his frail skiff and half a dozen mon, and a can that lo >kcd not unlike a lard c~n. Night came on ; ho approached tho vessel ; e mt his oan on its errand of destruction towards tho cutter, (the nearer of the two vessels, ) and the morning sun shone upon fragments that strewed the placid bay. The crow were all destroyed with the craft. Tb? gunboat George Washington ventured too close to Chisolm's Island, and grounded. Elliott bad been idle and was "spoiling for a fight." He heard tho nows with gladness. All night tue com? pany marched, and daylight found his battery trained for her huge hull; the fido roso and she floated olear, and would have escaped but for the unerring aim of the gunners. In fifteen minutes from the time of tho first shot, the gunboat was a mass of llame; and so rapid was firing kept up, and deadly the aim of tho battery, that she replied but twico to the attack from her heavy armament. Her massy bell and deck howitzer were transferi ed to camp, "and, until tho evacuation of Pocotaligo, the bell usurpod tho place of the bugle. In the destruction of this gunboat, tho most of her crow wero killed by the snots from our guns or burned CLOTHING. WE HUE MU DOWN Our Entire Stock of FALL AND WINTER CLOTHING.
