Samuel Strong has been arrested on a requi? sition of the Governor of Virginia as a fugitive from justice. He was taken before Judge Fisher, before whom he was broughton habeas corpus. After a short discussion Judge Fisher decided to release the prisoner ontwogiounds, first-because Virginia is not a State in the Union, that the proclamations of the President, and more particularly Congress, by its legisla? tion, have expressly refused to recognize Vir? ginia and the other Southern State as forming States in the Union-that the requisition of Governor Peirepoint cannot be recognized nuder the acts of Congress providing for the return of fugitives to justice as the act of the Executive of a State of the United States.

THE COlVVIS??TICLV. FOBI?-S?VESTH DAX. The convention was again filled yesterday with a large number of visitors, most of them evidently being tourists who have availed themselves of our superb ?pring weather to in? spect the localities made famous by "grim visage war." The convention looked as fresh as if it h ad not drank a hogshead of champagne the night before, and entered promptly upon its labors. An attempt was again made to adjourn sine die on Saturday, but it failed. The impression, however, is that the body will complete ?B work on or before that time. The convention then proceeded to consider the second article of the constitution, enti? ced, "The Legislative Department." It was read by sections a third time, passed, and so much as is now published below is now a per? manent article of the constitution. Section tJiirtv-four, referring to a homestead law, was not considered, it being understood that a substitute will bo offered to-morrow. On motion of B. F. Whittemore the conven? tion agreed to adjourn until ten o'clock to-day. Before the formal adjournment tho President made the following remarks: Tho chair has been informed, with great grief and mortification, that there is a bar fcopt. down st airs, in thc basement otory tty whose authority it has been opened or is kept, he does not know. It was certainly not with his consent or by vote of the house. The chair further understands this bar-room has degen? erated into such a character that it should be promptly closed; that there aro now fifteen or twenty intoxicated persons in it. He has never had possession of the house, and doe J not feel competent to give an order referring to mat? ters outside of the hall, but he sincere iy hopes that a motion may be made by some gentleman upon the floor of the convention that the bar? keeper shall be immediately expelled. Mr. B. F. Whittemore moved that the house be put in charge of the President of the con? vention, and the bar-room shall be hereafter closed. R. C. De-Large- I have no objection to clos? ing anything that the hcuso desires. I do, however, object to any statement being made which is not strictly true. There is no public bar in the basement of the house. It is a re? freshment saloon, and the statement that there is one, two, three or fifteen persons down there now who are intoxicated, is false, for I have just come from that room with half a dozen other gentlemen. (Laughter.) F. L. CaidozQ-If the gentleman has just come from there, he is not fit to speak to this house. B. C. DeLarge-I will only add in reply that the clerical gentleman may himself be seen in that jsaloon almost every day after the adjourn? ment. Mr. C. C. Bowen called for the previous ques? tion, which was sustained. The main ques? tion then being on agreeing to the motion of B. F. Whittemore, that gentleman said: I have no desire to make any speech in this connection. The gentleman who has returned from the bar-room has sufficiently convinced every person on this floor that it is necessary to close the place, and I hope it will be done. The question then being taken, the motion was agreed to, and the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to cause the obnoxious gentleman down stairs to evacuate. The convention then adjourned. Tbs following is the Legislative Article which has passed its third reading : ARTICLE II. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT. SECTION 1.

THE PRESIDENT'S CHANCES. HtmCTniTNT-THE FTITFND3 OF THE PRESIDENT LESS SANGUINE-THE TALE IN WASHINGTON HENDRICK'S OBJECT IN OBJECTING TO THE SWEARING IN OF WADE-WADE'S TEA TABLE TALK-GRANT ALLEGED TO BE THE MOTIVE POWER-HIS CONFERENCE WITH STANTON WADE'S CABINET-SEWARD'S SUPPOSED TAC? TICS-THE SUMMONS SERVED ON THE PRESI? DENT. A Washington dispatch, dated March 8, to the Baltimore Gazette, says : The friends of President Johnson are less sanguine of his acquittal this evening than they have been. The impression is being made upo'n the minds of the Radicals that unless they convict their party is hopelessly lost, and fears are entertained that this impression will ensure the conviction of the President beyond peradventure. If the issue be the conviction of Andrew Johnson or the destruction of the Radical party, the Democrats feel sore that conviction wi? follow. Such is the talk to? night in political circles. The article lately published in the Nation, New York, declaring that a verdict in favor of the President is the death warrant of the dominant party, has been placed in the hands of every Radical senator and member of Congress, and is likely to have a controlling influence. Some members of the poatoffice commission, from Boston, paid their respects last evening to Senator Sumner, when the subject of the impeachment of the Presi? dent was introduced in conversation. Mr. Sumner was particularly dignified, and said, as a member of the court, it would not become him to give expression to any opinion, though, as a senator, he had freely criticised the actions of public men, and they had in turn criticised him. The purpose of Sjnator Hendricks in objecting to Ben Wade's being sworn seems to have been misrepresented by the Republican press. Mr. Hendricks never for a moment doubted that Wade would be allowed his seat as a member of the court; but he wished to call the attention of the country to the true character of the judges who were to form the Court of Impeachment Having effectually accomplished this purpose, he withdrew his objection, and allowed the President in expectancy to be sworn. If iMr. Sum npr if? dignified in regard to the pend? ing trial, the same remark viii not apply to the acting Vice-president, who declared at the tea table, a few evenings since, that if he had the power to remove him, Andrew John? son would not be in the White House a week longer, at the same time spicing the remark with a bit of profanity not to be repeated in this correspondence. The great motive power in the impeachment movement is believed ot be General Ulvsses S. Grant, wko spends part of every day "in consultation ivith Edwin M. Stanton. To-day the General held a grand pow-wow at Willard's Hotel, at which General Logan, of the committee of managers, and others were present. The precise nature of tho conference ia not known, but it is under? stood that all parties left the conference much elated with their situation. Among other sub? jects discussed was the division of tho spoils after they shall have succeeded in getting pos? session of the executive branch of thc govern? ment. It is understood Mr. Wades cabinet has already been arranged. Mr. Sumner taking the State Department, and E. B. Washburn, the Department of tbe Interior; Mr. Bingham ia on the slate for Attorney-General; Speaker Colfax is to select for himself a foreiyntnission beyond the possible danger of niteo-glpJrme; Senator Wilson agrees to take his chances for the Vice Presidency, and the indications are now deci? dedly in favor of his being second on the Grant ticket. In the meantime it is rumored that Seward is playing his cards to hold over, and professes neutrabty between the conflicting elements. He claims that he has been able not only to carry the country saf ely through a terrible; civil war, but even nowby bis masterly foreign policv bo is avoiding auy panic or in? convenience in the diplomatic relations of the nation. These facta, ho Ihini?, should com? mend him to tho favorable :onsidenitiou of Mr. Johnson'a successor, but there is good reason tu believe that Mr. Sewsrd'a diplomatic record will not bctakeu into accotait by "Pre? sident Wv.de.' The impression prevails herc that titer-- will bc ti regular Radical carnival in loni: vin-,' govcinmoul officiate, and ti lar;ri portiou ol liie Washington populaliou UVV? stand aghast at tho prospect of IOB? ig their bread and butter. am.;,STANTON'S OETP ON THE WAR oma ;-REAS? ONS FOB HTS CONTINUOUS OCCUPATION OF THE PBEJOSES. A Washington dispatch, of the 8th instant, to the Baltimore Sun, says : It has been a matter of some speculation among the curious as to why Mr. Stan ton con? tinues to spend both night and day in the War Department after all danger of his siimmary removal seems over. It seems that there are very Rood reasons to Mr. Stanton ind his friends for this course. It has been learned that there are several prominent officials of the department who would consider it thuir duty, in case of the momentary absence of Mr. Stan? ton, to obev any orders from General Thomas, which the latter might isau6 aa Secretar/ of War. Thia being the case, Mr. Stanton andhiB friends in Congress have determined that he shall never leave his post for an inst int until his status is satisfactorily settled. THE PRESIDENT'S UNE OF DEFENCE. The Washington Chronicle says : Since the passage of the impeachment reso? lution two weeks ago, the President's legal ad? visers h-ivc been busily occupied in perfecting their pbnp. of defence. Tho Attorney- General, although it is not positively known that he will, as has been stated, appear for tie Presi? dent as one of his counsel before the ? lenate, is certainly engaged in assisting to ge t up the case. It is believed on pretty good authority that the following are tho main coin ts in the line of defence now contemplated, th 3ugh, of course, it will be subject to future :nodifica tions, as circumstances may seem tc dictate, or as counsel may BUggeet : Firsl. On appearing by counsel o a Friday next, motion is to be made to have the hear? ing postponed until the first Monda . in May. Failing in this, as they undoubtedly will, they will Second. Make a motion to quash th e articles of impeachment, on tbe ground tba , if true, they clo not constitute a high crime or misde? meanor. Third. Exceptions will be taken to certain senators, on the ground that they ' lave pre? judged the case, and that the Senat: has al? ready declared the President guilty ol the main charge, by the passage of the r?solu tion con? demning the removal of Secretary Stinton. Fourth. Exceptions will be taken t) the ju? risdiction of the court, on the ground that it is not tbe Senate of the United B :atcs; the President's theory that Congress is i "a body banging on the verge of the government," being here brought into play, regardl ess of the fact that it would, after some time, p rove him? self not to be President of the Unite! States a result less objectionable to him than re? moval from office, and disqualification therefor in the future. Fifth. That the Tenure of Ofilce bill cannot apply to the case of Mr. Stanton, ni* only on . account of the proviso in the first S? ction, but also on the ground that having bc en passed after Mr. Stanton's appointment, it cannot be applied to his tenure of office, with< ut having a retroactive effect and becoming thereby an ex post facto law. Sixth. That Mr. Stanton was fum'lus officio after the 4th day of March, 1865, the expiration of Mr. LLncol n's first term, and th at he has not since that date been Secretary of War de jure, although exercising the fane tiona of that office. It is said that some of the President's most prominent advisers counsel him to tender his resignation should the motion to quash the articles be denied by a majority of two-thirds of the Senate, and thereby avoid the disqualifi? cation for office under the United S ates Gov vernment, which would doubtless follow should he bo convicted. If his resignation were ac? cepted, he would thus retain his eligibility for the next Presidency. This, however, is a re Bult in which none but his immediate friends and parasites are especially interested. WHAT THE "NATION" THINKS OF TAO EACJT1IENT. Thc following brief oditorial . rem the Na? tion, by far tho ablest paper published in tho iuliucuu trf Radicalism, et-Wuprl rt great eon sation in Washington : It cannot bc said, as for as our observation extends, that impeachment has grown in favor with the public during the past wet k. In fact, the attitude of the public all along has been one of resignation rather than eagurness. The enthusiasm about it has been confined very much to the "original impeacheis" in Con? gress and to those newspapers wh ose normal condition is one of enthusiasm; nven these, however, havo not been as excited as they have seemed. Owing to their bab ts of never keeping any emotions in reserve, they are obliged to go through extraordinary contor? tions in order to attract any not.ee on occa? sions which they really mean to be solemn. The prevailing feeling now, we ihink, is, it is safe to say, one of willingness ? have Mr. Johnson out of the way, by means of a fair and impartial trial, but of equal willingness to consign the .Republican party to destruc? tion in case the attempt to convic t fails. A Singular Institution-Tlie Great Foundling Hospital in Moscow. A movement is on foot in New York for the establishment of a foundling hospital on a large scale, on the plan of that in Moscow, Bussia. The Moscow foundling hospital rs the largest in the world. It was organized by the Em? press Elizabeth about one hundred years since, and has now a yearly fund of $1,000,000 for its support. There is a Lombard ba ik, and also a savings bank attached to it. lacie are ad? mitted yearly some twelve tbousaad children. These are not left, as in some < >ther institu? tions of a similar kind, at the door of the building, but are taken openly, either by their mothers, or some friends, into an entrance room, set apart for that purpose, "j .s we stopped a few moments in this room, we t omited sixty women, each with an infant in he.* arms, wait? ing, in single file, to make their deposit. No question is asked by the recording clerk, ex? cept "Has the child been baptize ir and if BO, by what name?" The child ia tin n registered, a number is placed around ita neck, and figures on its cot, while a receipt showing the same number is handed to the bearer of tbe child, in order to enable her to visit, or even claim it at any future period up to the age of ten years. The infant is then pass?e':, into another room and handed to its future foster parent, she being the woman who nappe, is, at tue mo? ment, to stand at the head of tho hst amongst a number who are always wait Lng in atten? dance. These women are generally peasants from the country, who have, it was told us, themselves been depositors of th cir own chil? dren bat a few hours before, or else mothers who have left their own children in the coun? try to be brought up by hand, at tracted by the wages and good quarters provide d them in the institutions. It is not suppose 1 that even a majority of these children are illegitimate. The great proportion are left there by the p?renos, from poverty, or from bc ing in service. The nurses have distinct appa rel for each of the different wards in these vut buildings. Some have blue, others red anl green capB. There were seven hundred nurses in thia one ball alone. lu passiug from ono ward to another we could not help remaning the clock? like regularity with which tho whole establish? ment is conducted. There s jems nothing omitted which good domestic ms nagement can suggest or medical art approve. The simple arts of washing and dressing 0 re brought to perfection, and executed with f reat rapidity. The infants are bathed in copi er tubs, lined with flannel, and they are dressed on down pil? lows, instead of the hard hoops or bony lega of modern nurses. Never upon earth was there a more aston? ishing n?xture of baby-flesh-big and little, pug-nosed, blue and black-eyed, fat, lean, red, yellow and white babies. It mi rht be suppos? ed that they would make a gre a deal of noise, but we only heard about forty or fifty small choruses while there. But sup Dose the whole number should start at oneil Who can imagine the stylo of music of G0J0 baby voices, when they give up ther mind to it? But 1 sup? pose they spend moat of their time in sleep? ing, and seem to be muoh given to eating and drinking. During the summer nonths several thousands of these children are sent out in the couulry to nurae. As soon aa they become old enough they are taught reading and writing, ?iud tho most iutii'liiie.it arc selected .13 teach? ers. The bjy? usually receive P. military edu? cation, and certain portion ol' them furnish recruits lor the imperial army. ?2-P. H. H.-ABE SYNONYMOUS WITH Health, Strength and Vigor.
