THE STRUGGLE FOR THE WAR OFFICE. STANTON ?STILL HOLDS OUT. WASHINGTON, February 24-1 P. M.-There ia comparative quiet fiia morning and nc. moro war talk. An application has been made for a writ of quo icarranto against Stanton. Tho House is now debating the impeachment resolution. Its passage is still regarded as cerrain. A t half-past ten o'clock, this morning, Gene? ral Thomas went to the War Department, or? dered Stanton to vacate, and demanded thc mails. Stanton again refused. Thomas then went to tho Adjutant-Gpneral's office, but issu *" ed nj orders. Neither party has as yet issued any order that requires recognition hy the other departments. Ssnator Morton, of Indiana, is positively re? ported as saying that his party (the Republi? cans) could not stand tho pressure, aud that tho present feelings and purposes of the House could not be sustained. [SECOND DISPATCH.] WASHINGTON, February 24-6 P. M.-IN THE SENATE to-day the business was unimportant. IN THE HOUSE the session was cut up by speeches of three to twenty minutes. Tho remarks were generally crude, intended fur the emergency and generally explaining pre? determined votes. The impeachment resolution was passed hy a strict patty vote, e^ept Stewart, of New York, and Carey, of Ol .o, who voted with the Democrats. The committee to announce to the Senato the action of the House relative to impeachment are Messrs. Stevens and Bing? ham. The committee to preparo articlos of impeachment are Messrs. Boutwell, Stevens. Bingham, Wilson, Logan, Julian and Ward. Thic committee have power to send for persons and papers. The most profound silence pre? vailed in the House after the announcement of tho vote on impeachment, and an adjournment immediately took place. The following is telegraphed as a specimen of to-day's speeches-Mr. Payne, who had tho ; ? floor, said : "I yield two minutes to the gen? tleman from Indiana, Mr. Shanks." Mr. Shanks said : "Mr. Speaker, my opinion is that, in this emergency, this house should speak but one word and strike but one blow; and I desire that the blow should come first. I am tired, sir, of this protracted discussion, which post? pones an hour that which tho people havo long desired to see. 1 am in favor of tho official death of Andrew Johnson, and t hink wo should vote this impeachment without debate. I am not surprised that ono who commenced his career in drunkenness, should end it in crime." It is stated that Mr. Mcculloch will not rc cogizj Stanton's official requisitions. WASHINGTON, February 24.-Stanton to-day said that he wished the reporters would let j i bini alone. Thc day closed with Stanton dining I ; at the War Office with Chandler und other/. j I The President took his dinner as usual. : Thomas was at his home, and everything was quiet. The President is reported to have said that i ne recognized no one but General Thomas as < Secretary of War, and meant to recognize no ? one else. Ho concluded tho iutcrview by say? ing, "God and tho American peoplo would | moko all right and save our institutions."' ? The President appends to his ruessago norn- I inating Ewing as Secretary of War the as6er- 1 tion that he has not violated, nnd will not vio? late, the Tenure of Office or any other law, and I argues elaborately his right, even under that law, to remove Stanton and oppoint an ad inle ji r<m Secretary.

Tho pressure upon our columns to-day will not pormit tho publication of our accustomed i report of tho jiroceedings. Nor were they, in 1 tho main, of a sufficiently general cbnracter to j interest our readers. < Tho following important ordinance, however, 1 was reported by B. F. Randolph, from tho Com? mittee on Miscellaneous Provisions of the Con- < jtitution, and made a special order for Satur- 1 lay : Bo it ordained, &c, That equity and justice j demand 101 the children of this State, in all , cases where real estate was transferred, cither at public Bale or otherwise, for Confederate se? curities or currency durinp tho war, said trans- ? fer, uo matter by whom made, shall bo abso? lutely null aud void, wherever based upon such security; and tho original owners and guardi- J ans may enter upon and take possession of such real estate in behalf of said minor chil? dren, unless the same is paid for in the cur- , roney of the United States. Mr. A. C. Richmond presented a petition ? praying tbojconvention to arrest the execution ' of tho sentence of death upon Benjamin Ho- ( gan, a colored man, convicted of arson at tho , last Court of General Sessious in Charleston. . The petition was referred to the Committee on Petitions. B. F. Randolph presented the petition of Thomas Owings, convicted of felony in Lau reus D.strict, asking thc convention to recom? mend thc removal of his political disabilities. 1 Referred to the Committee on Petitions. E. W. IL Mackey offered a resolution, which waa adopted, to appoint a special committee ot , nine to dratt an ordinance prescribing th* j modo and providing for the election ot State officers. The convention then proceeded to discuss the first and second clauses of thc Executive article of tho constitution. Along and ani? mated debate took place on the proposition to . strike out tho provision requiring four years' j residenco as a qualification for the governor, and to insert two years, the object, as it wse liveried, being to afford an opportunity to ar y Northern niau who might be uomiuatod to run 1 fer tho office. , Tho purpose of putting a United States ofii- 1 cur in nomination was stronal*: hint?fl*Lln the course ot the debate, and "here is nodou'ot that some political combinations are on foot to 1 bring out additional candidates. '.tho convention adjourned without disposme of all the amendments to tho bcction offend, so that thu consideration ol' the subject will bo resumed this morning. BETTER PROTECTION OF STEERAGE PASSEN? GERS.-The Secretary of the Treasury, in a communication to tho United States Senate, respectfully UTRCS upon the attention of Con? gress tho necessity of prodding for the bettor protection of steerage passengers at sea by a thorough and immediate revision of the lo ws now in force. He suggests that the carrying or steerage passengers should be confined to a single deck; that the minimum ago at which two children count as ono passenger should be reduced, so that this proviso shall apply to children ovor ono and under five years of age, instead of eight years, as the law "how stands; that every vessel distinctly engaged iu the carnage of passengers should bo required to have a well supplied medieine chest for the benefit of pas? sengers and crow, and should have a regularly qualified physician or surgeon ou board, and that there should bo an improved mode ol ven? tilation and specified rules for cooking. Re? cent facts brought to tho notice of thc depart? ment, touching thc protection in morels on emigrant vessels, disclose tho most revolting cel&ila with ?egard to the privacy of female passengers. All immigrants to this country should feel, tho moment they embark, thas they ave reasonably under the protection nf abenc liccut Irce government, and the sanctity of fe malo rel ?rement nhould be guarded by ade? quate legislation. Li thc special case alluded ty, the female passengers ol the ship were powerless in thc bands of au unrcstrf.ined crow. Tho penalties for criminal offencoa of this character should be so severe and inevasa bio aa to deter all evil-minded persons by tho certainty of a prompt retributivo justice- and these penalties should attach in a correspond? ing degree to all malters and officers ol ves? sels cognizant of and permitting such out? rages. Tho Secretary makes other tnigges? tions on the subject. R. li. CARPENTER, ESQ.-This gentleman, for? merly a lawyer of Covington, Kentucky, and now Registrar tn Bankruptcy, resident in thc City of Charleston, has been kind enough to hold a special term of tho United States Court of Bankruptcy, at Sumter, much to tho conve? nience of purtles and thc accommodation of ti;o ! profession. He is an able lawyer and thorough* j ly conversant with the duties of his responsible I 8tntiou, in which he dispatches business with ! rapidity, promptness and courtesy. \Siimier News. THE REVOLUTION. THE VIEWS OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON. HE WILL NOT SUBMIT TO IMPEACH? MENT. FULL PARTICULARS OF THE ARREST OF GEN. THOMAS, AT THE INSTANCE OF STANTON. SCENES AT THE WAR OFFICE. REVIVAL OF IMPEACHMENT m CONGRESS. PINIONS OF THE PRESS. We received last evening our Northern flies of tho latest dates, including New York papers of Saturday and Washington papers of Saturday afternoon. They are filled with particulars of what they call tho President's coup aVelai and tho oventB to which it gave rise. The New York Herald's correspondent, on Friday even? ing, while the excitement was at its height, re? paired to tho White House and obtained a hal hour's interview with Mr. Johnson. Of course he sends tho Herald u full account of WHAT THE PRESIDENT THIN ES AND BATS THE SITUATION OF AFFAIRS. He says that ho found his Excellency not stricken with fear or trembling, but smilin and radiant, in better humor and spirits tuan for many months. We quote : After the customary salutations, your corres pondent remarked that thc country was some what taken by surprise by tho sudden rcnio\ of Stanton and tho appointment of Thomas Secretary ad interim. This President smiled and inquired, "Well what do the people say ? 1 suppose thoy are surprised; but I bavo only done what I bad de tennined upon long ago." Corespondent-Tho removal, then, is not pursuance of a recent d?termination on your part, Mr. President?" Tb.9 President-"Not at all, sir. The people seem to have mistaken my course altogether iu this matter. I never had but one deter ruination on tho subject, but I have acted carefully, prudently and moderately. Per haps I have been too slow about removing Mr. Stanton, but not because I feared tho bugbear of impeachment, or that I dreaded anything that Congreso might do. Noth in? that body could attempt or carrv out would intimidate or sui prise me. I know they are capable of doing any thing. I delayed final action solely to let the country see and understand tho'position of Mr. Stanton. Wo first intimated to him that wu would Uko him to withdraw from our privy council. He did not take thc hint. Wo then requested him to resign. He refused We then suspended him, under the conslitu tional power which wo have to suspend or re move a me/tfber of our Cabiuot. Thc act of suspension' was also not in conflict with tho Tenure of Office bili, though we did not there fore recognize its constitutionality. As a mat? ter of courtesy wo sont reasons for our action to the Senate."* That body pretended not to consider those reasons sufficient, and assumed to reinstate Mi*. Stanton in office. Weil, wo still waited, hoping Mr. Stanton would soc tho propriety of resiguing himself. Geierul Sher mau and Gooernl ?rant offered to go to Stan ton and advise him to resign. After waiting a reasonable timo we thought proper to-day t order the removal of Mr. Stanton and to ap? point General ihomas Secretory ol' Wai" ad iu lertm. This is tho whole story." Correspondents-"Was this step discussed in tho Cabinet council, Mr. President?" i he Presidont-"No, fair; not precisely. A rrenoral policy was agreed upon sumo timo ago, md tho removal tu-day is iu accordance th rt? with. I have just received a copy of tho reso? lution adopted by tb s Senat o to-night in exe jutive session." The President herc read thc resolution printod elsewhere. Correspoudont-"What will tho Sonate do, Ur. President, under that resolution, if you stall ufiist upon having General Thomas act as Secretary ad interim?" The President-"I don't eeo that they can do mything. 'J he resolution itself is the cud of :he matter, so far ns the Senate is concerned, micas thc House presents articles of unpeach nont and tho Senate undertakes to try the Ex jcutive, and resolves itsolf into a Idyll court of impeachment." Correspondent-"Do you think Congress reallv will attempt impeachment, Mr. Presi? dent?" The President-"I don't know, indeed; nor lo I care. It would mako very little difference io me." Your correspondent hero asked what thc President would do in the event of tho passage }f Mr. Edmunds' bill of suspension, to which the President answered, substantially, "Sra. I 1V0UXD NOT OBEY THE HW IF THEY ATTEMPTED ro SUSPEND ME. The law is clearly unconstitu? tional. There is a point against it which you jentlemcu of thc press seem to have al.o nether ovcilooked. Tho bill of Senator Ed? munds to suspend pending trial would un? doubtedly bo an ex post jauo law so far as my ;ase would be concerned. Such, a law is de? bared unconstitutional by tho very lau?ungo of ;ho constitution itself. My offence, wo will suppose, is tho removal of Mr. Stanton. 1'hut s an accomplished fact. Any law prescribing i penalty for that act would" bc ex post jacto, md, theiefoto, unconstitutional. How, therc toio, can Congress legally pass h bill of such a character ?'' Y'our correspondent remarked that certain Radicals might argue that a persistence in keep? ing Mr. Stanton out ot office, after tho Ssnato declaring his removal contrary to law, and ifler tho proposed passage of Mr. Edmunds' suspension bill, would be bringing tho ques? tion out of the operation ol' nu ex post facto law. 'Tho Presidont replied that that could int alter tho case, as tho offence charged would still be the removal of Mr. Stanton-an act per? formed heroic the passage of the proposed law. In reply to au inquiry as to whether t!>o President had seen General Thomas siuce tho interview of the latter with Ur. Stanton the President said ves, and proceeded to state *) what, according to his information, had occur- a red at that interview. "General thoma*," he ? said, "waitedupon Mr. Stanton, and showed to i him the President's order removing Mr. Stan- t tou and appointing lum (General Thoma ) as t Secretary of War ad inter m. Mr. Stanton t read the order, and asked Thomas whether he 1 would be obliged to vacate the office forthwith, t Thomas said his instructions ?ero lo assume 1 control immediately. Stanton then said In; t wouldlike to have time to arrange und toko I away his papers and documents; to which Thomas replied that a considerable limo would i bo allowed for suth purpose. No time, how- j ever, was fixed tor Mr. Stanton to finish his 1 arrangements." 1 Youl- correspondent had some further con- I versation with the President, but the chief points have been given. Tho President rc- ? peatedly expressed his utter indifterenco as to what c?urso congress might adopt on the im? peachment question ; and in answer to u part- j ing remark of your correspondent that tho President might sleep soundly iu spite of the J threatened impeachment he said, laughing, "I don't think my slumber* will bc much disturb? ed by that fear. I ahall sleep soundly and awake rclreshcd." ! HOW FRIDAY NIGHT WAS SPENT AT THE WAR OF- , FICE-STANTON IN A STATE OF SIEGE.

By se^cn o'clock General Farnsworth, Mr. Judd, ot Illi? nois, and other Congressmen arrived, and Stanton had quite a levee as ho discussed be breakfast which had been sent to him from his house. During tho night a millibar ul letters were sent to him from the capitol, urcing j him to maintain his position, amongst which ? was the following from 31r.

Tho excitement about tho capitol Sa turd morning was very great, the House of Bepi tentatives hoing thc objective point, in whi avery seat in ibo galleries was crowded at -arly hoar, while in all tho doorways and cc ridors tho crowd surged and pushed, anno to get inside, whero they could witness t proceedings. The Democratic si Jo of the chamber, by fil lustering motions, managed to delay enterii upon regular business for a considerable tim At livo minutes past 2 P. M.

E, 'aine. "Rrso'oed, That Andrew Johnson, President if tho United States, bo impeached of higb Times and misdemeanors." Mr. Stevens saul il was not his purpose to liscuss tho question, and if no ono on the itlier 'ido desired to discuss it, he would take bo voto wi'h the knowledge ttioy now had of he act of tho President iu removing Mr. Stan oii from office whilo thc Senate was in session, lo had no desiro to discuss the mat ter, and vould givo tho other side an opportunity for liscussion if they desired it. Mr. Brooks (Now l'ork) bad hoped he would lave boca permitted to submit it minority ro jort, but ho had not bcon nccorcled limo. He jailed attotiliou to tho fact that thc Becon ilructiou Coinniittoo bad hold its session to? ity in violation of tho 72d rulo of thc House, vliicli prohibited coiuodttoes from sitting luring tho sessions of tho Hou:?c unless by ?onsent oi thc llonso. Ho thought this ghost jf impeachment had boon throttled, but now he Hou.^e had taken up (ho subject again, and lad reported tins resolution. Ho looked upon it is an act in a revolutionary drama similar to ;liat of Cromwellian times or of tho d ivs of the brunch Revolution. It had been heretofore inserted, uot upon tho lloor of this House, but ..Isewhere, that tho President must bc re? novad because lie w is na obstruction to th: lomiuaul party. Ii he could lie iiii|>:-aetied Tor that cause, men each man oi lb.: opposition party could ho impeachedbecause he was SH instructor 11 ibo party. Ho did not make any threats t>> Hie House, but lie would sny that if Ibo President was impeached mid removed without authority ol law, tho peuple of this country would never endure ir. [Sensation on the floor.] Act within tno bounds of the con? stitution, and thero world be nu objection, but act without the bounds of Hie constitution, and the country would ho precipitated iuto vio? lence and revolution. Now horj a party repro seating, not th? people of thc North; repre? senting thu past and not tho present attempts to obliterate tho constitution of the couutry. By a mere party majui i ty, ia order to obtain possessiuu ol' Ibo Government of thc United States, you propose tu depuso the President ot thc Uui'tcd Sl ues und set up one of your own. Por the first timo it is written in the history of this country that a party lo retain ita ascen? dency proposes to overturn tho executive and judicial branches of thc Government of the United Suites, (?o on, if you chose. K 1 wanted your overthrow, I would tell you now to go un iii tho euursoyou have marked out, .md overthrow tho President, who is now powerless by your legislation. This is all dono that you may control all depart? ments cf tiio government, so os to get in sunie African states in the South, to perpct.iato Republican power. Mr. Brooks areue'l thai. Ihc President bad authority to removu Mr. blanton and appoint General Thomas. He cbdlonffcd gentlemen to show any thing in the oct of 1867 that repealed tho ucts referred to. Even acknowledging tho Ten? ure of Olfico :. ct tu be law, there WAS nothing there depriving tho President, of thc power ot appointment. Th J Tenure of Office act was not applicable to tho course tue President had pursued in appointing a Secretary of War ad in? terim. During tho war it was insisted that it would bj wrung to deprive thc President ot the power of appointing his Cn bluet officers, aud ibo rule should not now oe relaxed or mado differ? ent. Hu quot ed ironi tho speeches of senators aud representatives when tiio Tenure of Olhco aci was under consideration, to show that it was never contemplated that a ??au should remain in the Cabinet after he had been notified hy? the President that his services as a Cabinet officer was no longor required. He quoted from the speech ol Sonator Sher? man that he doubted if any mau of honor or personal dgnity would remain in the Ca after he ht ? been notified to vacate It ws opinion of the Senator that the office wai subject to -he will of the President. Bul it ff propof ed to impeach the President be* he has de ne what the law says be has a. to do. Subterfuges must be scarce indi for that ca ase the President must bo impi ed, after ;he House would not listen t< peachinenl. The Judiciary Committee sented a yet stronger case against hin thero was any case at all. Hitherto no m what party was in power the institutions o country have been respected, and no one attempted to perpetuate party by overth ing the institutions of the country. W and Uemoirats have been in power, but 1 never attempted to perpetuate lt by overth ing the coistitution. Here, for the firBt t the attemp t has boon made. 8uppose you ceed, and make the President of the So President if the United States, you establi precedent which ali other parties will loo] The curse of the South American governm has been in a following of the course wi this Housn now proposes to fix as a preoei -that of overtrrning the executive dep ment of the government. In conclusion, warned gentlemen to beware of the fatal c?dent they were now about to set. Mr. Spa'ding (0.) agreed that this wa solemn occasion. No more solemn duty cc devolve upon this House than the conaidi tion of ar article of impeachment. He 1 opposed impeachment before, because he lieved son e overt act should first be commit by the President. It seemed to bim that President had for weeks been courting j such a measure as that which was now bel this Hous ), and upon him now must rest responsib lity. The President throws bimi in direct contact with an act of Congre passed on the 2d of last Moren, over his c ? eto. It is true the act gave the President right of inspension, but tbat poor privih was at an end when Congress was in aessi In spite o f that civil Tenure act the Presid? sent to th 3 Senate a message yesterday deel ing that he had removed Edwin M. Stan ti Secretary of War; the Senate being in seasii and there being no right of removal, the Pre dent has 1 brown down tho glove and assure the right to say to the Senate m spite of ye law 1 bave removed Mr. Stanton. He cai not whether Andrew Johnson or any ono el was Pres dent. What ho wanted was pea? and he si.w no way of securing it except voting wi- h unanimity for the resolution. Mr. Bir gham (Ohio) said he was utterly j capable o ' approaching this question in a pat spirit. Tbe gentleman [Mr. Brooks] says ti isBue involved is an issue relative to office, was not to, bnt an issue whether the constit tion shall be maintained by the Bepresentativ of tho popio. He had no desire to resort this last power reposed in the people, and bi restrained others so long as tbere was ai doubt hanging over the question of his liabi ty to imp eachment. With the past he was sa isfied, and was responsible for it to the cot mon Father of us all; but ho stood here with conviction as clear as truth, that the Preside] had been guilty ot a violation of his oath i office anc. of congressional and constitution law, and had trampled upon the Constitu?t; of the United States. He must have know that he could fill vacancies during the rec ti of the Sf nate, but at no other time. He cou! make ter iporary appointments, but it needs c argument to show that be could not create tb vacancy to fill the office. If he may creal a vacancy, and remove an officer, wh should ho not romove Lorenzo Thomas, an so go on from day to day until tho end c bis tern. The gentleman (Mr. Banks) ha argued I hat the Secretary of War was nc within tao operation of tue civil tenure aci but the President recognized the act as en bracing she Secretary of War by tho very acte suspend him last summer. He com plie with it ty giving the Senate his reasons witbi the time designated in the Tenure of Office ad Ihe Scinto (Mr. B. argued) was the place c ti nal rei lort for judgment in these cases, an tho Supreme Court could not review the act c the Ser ato, or pass judgment upon it. The Senate bas decidor! that E. M. Stanton wa Secretar y of War, the President of the Unite States to the contrary notwithstanding; an under the law the President could onlyappoin another Secretary when the Senate agreed t Mr. Stanton's removal. But the President ha chosen to violate the 5th section of tho Tenur of Office act, and hos defied the re pres cn ta ti oi nf the poople. The gentleman from New Yorl tells us to beware, hut did the gentleman no know that it id written in the constitutioi that Ibo President shall be removee from (mee on conviction of high crimes ind misdemeanors? Bid ho not know Hilt )ower of impeachment was vost sd in the House of Representatives un under .ho constitution ? liiere is enough ii the fad s already disclosed in the President's cor resp ondenco upon this subject to draw the inference that the President is guilty under another act beside tho Tenure of Office act. lie referred to the act of 1861, which makes it a crim 3 for the President or any one to pre? vent ai officer from exercising (he functions ol his offi :e. It was plain under this last act that the President ha t interfered with an officer put in his placo by the Senate. Thero were -orne facts tn at had como to the knowledge of the committee that should here bo mentioned. This General Thomas to-day appeared at the Wai' C fice and notified Mr. Stanton that ho (Thomas) would not recognize him (Stanton) us Secretary ot War ; that he would keep pos? session, and that he would take the mads for tho War Office and all by the direction of the ['resident. After some further debato it was agreed that I he volo of the impeachment rr solution should he taken on Monday at 5 P. M. and the House then adjourned. THE INCITEMENT AT THE NORTH-WHAT THE PATEES 8AY ON THE 8DBJECT. Tho New York Tribune says: Mr. Johnson will achieve no coup d'etat. Na turo, iu denying hT.n tho ccurago proportioned lo hi > vanity, has made him proof against great crimes. His forte lies entiroly in pecca? dilloes. When Congress concludes to impeach him for petty misdemeanors, it will find plenty of them. But if it waits for high crimes, he will serve out his term in feverish peacefulness and empty feints: Thc New York Herald has the following characteristic paragraph: Tho removal of Stanton of itself was an act cf defiance against tho expressed will of Con? gress sufficiently astounding to both IIOUSOB; hut C3upled with these promotions of tho old min ii ii erial General Thomas, and of "tho man who never lost a battle," tho "rock of Gibral? tar," tho fighting General Thomas, thero was euourii to satisfy thu Souato and tho Houso that ibero was mischief in tho wind, and that tho case of "the man at tho other end of tho avenue" had assumed a phase which admitted of no delay. Tho case at Washington as it now stauils is simply this : If tho Eadicals fail to act promptly and decisively they aro gooe; if they attempt to act decisively they may fail; and from their failuro Andrew .Johnson may cut out ail competitors and walk over tho bro? ken .'raiments of tho Republican party into tho next Presidency. The New York World remarks : Wa suppose the President will make no im? mediate attempt to eject Stanton by force; and that the ridiculous trepidation of Congress is a little premature. But when tho proper time comes for a forcible ejection, Grant's disobe? dience of orders will bo but a slight obstacle. Ho is bound to obey the orders of the Presi? dent; it is a duty from which Congress can no rao.-e release bini than it can divest the Presi? dent of the chief command of tin army. Ibo rig at of command implies the duty of obedience; if Congress tells General Grant uot to obey, it the reby attempts to strip tbe President of tho command of tho army; an attempt which can succeed only by tho overthrow of the consti? tu? on. Ix General Grant refuses to obey or decs, he is amenable to military discipline. It will bo the duty ot tho President to cauee his arrest for insubordination and mutiny, and or? ganize a court-martial to try him. The Presi? dent can at tho same time order a brevet gen I ral to take possession of the headquarters of thc anny. We do not suppose the President will quito yet exert his full authority in this form. H 3 will probably first apply to tho Suprome Court, who will summon Mr. Stanton to show by what authority he assumes to retain the olfice irom which he bas been removed. I Tuero is every reason to believe that the court viii adjudgo the Tenure of Offico bill uncon si itutioual. With what face will Stanton go before the court and contend that the Tenure ot Office bill is not repugnant to the co istitu t on, wheu it is notorious that he held tbe om tiary opinion at the time of its passage? ?*ay, he advised thc President to veto it tor uncon f titutionahtv, and furnished points for the veto message, lt is not to be supposouthat tho (Supreme Court will render a partisan decision in his favor, when the case is so clear against him that he is on record as having decided against tim preseas emmi, nucu wo wu? bas rendered its decision, if General Grant re? fuses to obey orders, the time will have come to put him under arrest. He has, indeed, no more ri?ht to refuse obedience now than he will have then; but it is probably expedient for the Pro ai ?c nt to await the decision of the court before resorting to force. The Now York Times editorially ie as dumb as an oyster on the whole subject. THE TKTEEVTEW BETWEEN GENERAL HX03IA8 AND MB. STANTON. The Washington Star of Saturday evening says: . There were present at Secretary Stanton's office on Saturday morning: .Representatives Morehead and Kelley, from Pennsylvania; Van Hom and Van Wvck, of New Yorkf Dodge, of Iowa; ?mes, of Massachusetts; Messrs. Free? man Clark, of New York, and ex-member Co? lumbus Delano, of Ohio. About ll:3ty^M., General Lorenzo Thomas, havinc jus^^Rk released on bail cy Judgo Carttrr, pr9H )^L himself at the door of the departmonrJBBpd Mr. Stanton that he would like to soo him^Mr. Stanton told ^bim. to pro? ceed with anything lie had to say. General Thomas remarked he had come to discharge his duties as Secretary of War ad interim, having been ordered to do so by the President of the United States. Mr. Stanton re ohed that he could do no such thing, and ordered him to bis room to perform his duties as Adjutant General. General Thomas replied that he had been ordere i by the President to act as Secre? tary of War, and he intended to do it. Mr. Stanton again replied he should not, and again ordered him to his owu room, and denied the power of tho President to make any such or? der. Gen. Thomas said he would not go, that be should obey the orders of tho President, and not obey tho orders of Mr. Stanton. Mr. Stanton remarked, "As Secretary of War I or? der you to reoair to your own place as Adju? tant-General." Gen. Thomas-"I Bhall not do so.'' Mr. Stanton said. "Then y on may stay there as long as you please, if the President orders you, but you cannot act as Secretary of War." Gen. Thomas-"I shall act as Secretary rf War." Genet al Thomas then withdrew ir.tiaroom apposite, being General Shrh er's room, Mr. Stanton immediately folio wing h im. After some :onversationMr. ^canton said: "Thea yon claim a be here as Secretary of War, and refuse to )bey my orders?" General Thomas-"I do, sir. I shall require he maila for the War DJ parement to b9 deliv? ered to mo. and shall transact all business of he War Department." At this juncture General Grant and aide came n. General Grant said playfully to Mr. Stan en : "I am surprised to find you here; I sup? posed you would bo at my headquarters for uro lection." THE NATIONAL To ABD OF UNDER WBIT !BS.-This body held its second day's session u New York on Thursday. The committee on itatistica recommondud the adoption of a nni orm method of classifying hazards. Ur. 3hase, of the adjustment committee, asid OBBOs were paid as a general rule without sui icieut investigation. Thia waa done often to ret favorable notioes in tho newspapers. This iourse, he thought, was a direct enconrage nent of incendiarism. He recommended the idoption of a rule that no claim be paid wi ta? rnt a certificate trom the police or fire depart neut that tho fire was accidental. After con lidarable discussion a resolution embodying he recommendation in principle was adopted. resolution was also adopted in favor of eali? ng upon the State Legislatures to enact laws o punish persons defrauding or attempting to lefraud insurance companies. Mr. Howard iffered a series of roiolutiocs declaring that he government tax on insurance companies vas too excessive, and should be modified, adopted. A committee was then appointed to solicit insurance compames in New York city a adopt a uniform tariff, as agreed to by sixty line onipauies and several agents, and aft :r some uuimporant business tho convention ?vent into secret session. ABUNDANCE OF GAME IN FLORIDA.-A corre? spondent ot thc Philadelphia Hulk-tin, writing from Jacksonville, Florida, says he mav bo iuspected of Muncbauseuism, but the abund tnco of game and ti h in that roxton is really narvellous. An intoll gent gentleman from flew Hampshire, who came finir Hibernia, a )oint twenty nines south of Jacksonville, on he river, affirms that a dook of wiht ducks, ailes in length, and at least half a mile wide, olio wed the steam boa'.
