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.

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 European Situation.
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. The ex-King of
Naples holds court and looks forward
tb tho not distant day when he will
sit in pride and pomp and tyranny
on' his ancestral throue, and whon his
much attached people will once more
enjoy tho' sweet sunshine of bis gra?
cious presence.1 The Holy Father
has, notwithstanding the iufirmities
and love of ease ?natural to old age,
become somewhat tired of acting on
tho defensive, and meditates, it ie
said, au aggressive warkon tho Italian
kingdom for tho recovery of his
stolen territory. Impartial specta?
tors of the sceues now witnessed iii
Home are not unprepared for anothei
crus ado. Tho Jesuits, high in fa vol
with tho Holy Father, ure mor?
activo than they have been for soni<
generatious. We cannot wonder tba
it should be so; for while the Churcl
is winning its triumphs iu Great Bri?
tain and Ireland, it is experiencing
sad reverses in other quarters. Ca
tholic Austria is trampling with un
holy foot on concordats, and in i
variety of ways is shaking horsel
free from priestly tyranny and con
trol. Heretic Rubsin isstamping ou
the religion, litorature iud national
i ty of the Poles.
The treaty of Pragin is still ai
unfulfilled compact, and Prussia an?
Denmark still wranglo ?wer Duppe
and Alseu. Russia, wlich was rc
? luested to interpose its good office
in the matter, has polittiy refused
lu the East, Russia has (teased to b
so tronblesomo to Tnrkev; bat th
Eastern question still romains uti
solved. We hoar less nbout th
risings in Bulgaria and li? hostil
intentions in Servia. All.howevei
is not yet well. The Danulian Prii:
cipalities, which havo alrealy give
Europa and tho world quit? cnoug
of trouble, are again iu a state tin
borders on rebellion. PriuceCharlei
who ^s so full of sympathy ifor tl
suffering Cretans, has discovered
strange and implacable animupity t<
wards both Poles and Jews, yharh
is bent on being an independe]
prince, and he seems to think th;
Lis independence will be mon effe
titally secured by having exoolh
from his kingdom whatever eleneu
it m?i3' contain of either of tho
most unfortunate but most persete:
nationalities. Insurrrcctions ba
broken out afresh in Spain, and mo
tial law has beon proclaimed in scv
ral of tho provinces.
Whether Europois to be convu'si
at au early day, wo know not; b
this wo may say with confidence, tb
in spite of this tre- tendons impea*
ment agony, wo ar jrtuuate as co1
pared with any of the nations on t
other side of tho Atlautic.
