WASHINGTON, April 29.-lu the House, a r?solu ti on was offered to print 500 copies of tho Southern Constitution. In tho impeachment court, Sumner moved n resolution of censure ou Nelson, for language likely to pro? voke a duel. Several objections wore made, and Nelson produced letters, dated tho 9th of March, with But? ler's and Logan's signatures, regard? ing Alta Vela. Butler desired to sec tho letters. Nelson ^required some pledge that they would be returned. Chase made some objection, when Nelson said he would prefer deposit? ing them with the Secretary of the Senate, who could show them to Butler. Here the matter stopped. Evarts proceeded with his speech. Gen. Meade telegraphs Grant, that Georgia ratifies tho Constitution and elects Bullock, bat the Legislature is Democratic. Stanbery will delivor a speech iu person. Evarts spoke all day and concludes to-morrow. Acquittal stock is up, and b#ts are evon to-day. Wilson's triumph over Butler to-day was complete. Trumbull moved that Nelson be allowed to explain. Nel? son, as part of tho explanation, was reading tho letter. Butler objected. Senator Davis said the manager had no business to object. Senator Sher? man then objected, when Hendricks moved that Nelson read so much as would show tho dato and signature; which was carried. Nelson, holding the letter, fncing towards tho Senate, said, "Senators will see that tho let? ter is dated March 9, and hero they will soe tho autographs of B. F. But? ler and Johnson." Tho leadership which Sumner has assnmed, regarding new rides, is evi? dently distasteful to several Senators. Gen. Canby telegraphs to Grant, that the majority in North Carolina, so far, is 13,000; thirty-six Counties unreported. FINANCIAL, AM) COMMtiuCIAX,. NEW YOKE, April 29-Noon.-Mo? ney easy, at G. Gold 39^.

Our special caole despatches from XJUUUOU dated jfwjLciuiijr, givu iui portantlintelligonco from Abyssinia. The Briisk forces having como up with tba enemy, two severe engage? ments w?ro fought, oiie on tho 10th inst., (Good Friday,) resultiug in the defeat of King Theodorns' army, with heavy loss, the casualties on th? side of the British amounting to one officer and fifteen men wonuded. Evidently hopeless of maintaining his position, the King surrendered up tho European captives who were the cause of the war, but refused to yield up himself and his army. Gen. Napier then gavo him twenty-four hours to decide, but it would seem that tbe African monarch remained determined upon resistance. The British array was by this time in front of Shifasse, and was preparing to storm it, when, on tho 13th, the chiefs' in command surrendered this formidable position, apparently with? out jtteinptiug to defend it, and many* thousands of their soldiers threw down their arms, and gave themjelvcs up to tho victors. Gen. Napic's despatch intimates that the reverfe of the 10th hod so disheart I cuiudnn effectupou tho Abyssinians that'll ey became quito demoralized. Tho lurreuder of Shilasse and tho defection of tho great body of bis army compolled the King to retire insid) tho fortress of Magdala, nc conitfinied by the remnant of his for?a that hud continued faithful to him.: Ho was vigorously followed by tit British, wno, on tho same day, {the 13th,) assaulted and carried tho Irtress by storm, with a loss to, the lbyssiuiaijs, according to the first repots, of sixty-eight killed and 2,00 wotrjded. Tho loss of tho British wostjmall. Anong the Abyssinians killed was Kin* Thoodorus, who was found doa tl having received a shot through tho head. Our special correspond? ent In Abyssinia sfates that some as? serted he was killed in battlo, while othfs affirmed tint he committed suicide-in tho latter event, we pre sump, to prevent his capture by the Briish. Gen. Napier, in his report to ar Stafford Northcote, states that tbelKiug was killed defending his position to tho last. The fortress of M?ldala is described as having been of ^barbaric splendor. " It was plun? dered by the troops, who obtained, arning other booty, four gold crowns, 82?IOO0, thousands of silver plates anq a largo quantity of jewels. The object of tho expedition having been accomplished, the British army was to return immediately, the released captives having already started for Europe. It must be admitted that the Bri? tish havo triumphed in a much briefer space of time than even them? selves expected. The defection of the King's soldiers, added to the surrender of Shilasse, were no doubt the principal causes of this easy and almost bloodless success. Hitherto the expedition has not been a very popular one in England, where a i long and expensive war was appre? hended. Indeed, but for the circum? stances which attondod the downfall of Thcodorus, it is probable that the rainy setson, now near at hand, would have arrived aud found tho Abyssinians still defiant; and in such nu event a cessation of hostilities, if not a retrer-t, would havo been the result. The war being over aud the British triumphant, however, the question amas as to what tho future plans aud purposes of the victors aro. Tho deaw of Kiug Thcodorus, who was the only modern negro monarch that succeeded in maintain? ing any sombkvice of government in Africa, wiil thriw Abyssinia into a state of anarchy-if the Africans were ever in any oller state. Will tho British retire Vom the couutry altogether, or wilHbey wait uutil the rainy seasons are over, ft"d then again advance and takepermanent posses? sion of tho decease! monarch's terri? tory? It is quito cirtain that if they pursue tue first course, it will lie an innovation upon tip past policy of Groat Britain. Wo mtber think that lin a few mouths Abyssinia will be added to the. dependencies of Queen Victoria in Africa. 'Jho natives aro not able to offer any effectual resist? ance, aud it remains to be seen whether Frauen will object. At any rate, the ulterior purpose of tho Bri? tish Government will be developed before loug and tho fate of Abyssinia rfinally decided.-iV<SK> York Herald.

The French people have boen re? duced to the last point of endurance under the fearful pressure of the new army bill. In some quarters, the spirit of resistance had actually re? vealed itself, and the ominous strains of the "Marseillaise" had been hoard in the streets. Meanwhile, tho press, official and semi-official, was busy allaying the excitement, and Minis? ters in official reports were contra? dicting well authenticated fucts. AU is declared to be well, for no other and no better reason than that all is known to bo otherwise. At Home, which has become a huge barrack, and where an admirable illustration is presented of what is meant by tho "Chnreti militant," intrigue is busy.
