Butler opened at length. Evarts followed, when tho court adjourned. The argument on this point will be continued to-mor? row; it is regarded very important, in viow of tho sources of information from which tho President derived his ideas of duty under tho Constitution and laws to tho country and himself, and fixing to a great extent tho cri? minality or virtue of the President's actions. Thc result is daily becoming more doubtful in the minds of those f who watch most closely. Tho Sena? tors regarded doubtful give no indi? cations to hang a hope or fear upon.

The Celebrated Gainas Case. Tho fiual decision of tho suit of Mrs. Gaines against the city cf Nc~ Orleans, by the Supreme Court, terminates ono of the most extraordi? nary cases of litigation in the whole history of C?T? jurisprudence. It is remarkable, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, (in an able review of the case,) for the curiosity of the case itself; for tho large amount of property which it involves; aud for the wonderful display of enduring pertinancity with which the plaintiff has devotod her life to the prosecu? tion of what has long been held to be n hopeless cause. Seven times has Mrs. Gaines pleaded her case be? fore the Supreme Court, sometimes with partial success, sometimes with none, until, at last, after forty years of incessant litigation, she has won the day, and establishes her claim to a large portion of tho city of New Orleans, valued, very modestly, at $5,000,000. This ?ght has been fought by Mrs. Gaines single-handed. She has literally gone through fire and flood, as she bas traveled over the country, always intent upon the one great business of her life. With a buoyancy of temperament that knew no abatement, with an abiding faith in the justice of her cause and of its ultimate success; with few friends and very limited means; with life Blipping away under the long delays and slow processes of tho law, this truly remarkable woman has per? severed until she has Conquered for? tune. A brief outlino of this singular case will bo interesting to our readers: lu 1791, Zulimo nee Carri?re, u beauti? ful Creole of New Orleans, married ono Jerome des Granges, in New Orleans. In 1802 or 1803, Daniel Clark, a prominent citizen of New Orleans, became attached to Madame des Granges, aud, about thc same time, it is alleged that it was disco? vered that des Granges had a wifo living in France, and that, tho second marriage thus proving void, Dauiel Clark privately married the lady in Philadelphia. Of this marriage the present plaintiff claims to have been born in Philadelphia, in 1802 or 1803. Her mother and herself were committed to the care of her father's friend and partner, Mr. Daniel W. Coxe, of this city. She afterward became an inmate of the family of Colonel Samuel 13. Davis, and was known among her school-fellows, somo of whom still remember ber, as Myra Davis. When she grew up, it became known to her that her true name was Clark, and she has estab? lished tho existence of a will of Dauiel Clark's, acknowledging her as his le? gitimate daughter. Yet her own mo? ther, who, during Clark's life, mar? ried M. Gardotte, a well known citizen of Philadelphia, was never summoned as a witness by Mrs. Gaines, and ber father, Dauiel Clark, during his wife's life, addressed Miss Catou, of Baltimore, who, however, did not accept his advances. Myra Clark married Mr. Wm. Wallace Whitney, of Now York, by whom she had two children, a sou and daughter, still living. After Mr. Whitney's death, she married Gen. Edmund Pendleton Gaines, who died in 1819. Ono child, the issue of her second marriage, died in infancy. Dauiel Clark owned large tracts of ground within the limits of New Or? leans, which have becoruo immensely valuable. Moro than a thousand suits have beon instituted by Mrs. Gaines to recover these properties, upon which many of tho finest im? provements now stand. Tho deci? sion of tho Supreme Court only applies, directly, to three suits, but its ruling will cover the whole ground. This case has been ono of singular intricacy, and has turned, as will be seen by the above brief statement, UOOn tlie nutation rif tho 1 a rr i H rr? o ny* of Mrs. Gaines. It is but fair to say that eveu now, after nearly forty years of litigation, throe of the ablest members of the Supremo Court, Grier, Swayne and Miller, dissent from tho conclusions of the Court. ANTICIPATED FRESHET.-When these lines greet our readers in print, tho river may bo invading the city. The South Carolina election has some? thing to do with it, no doubt.
