Washington, Dec. 15, ISii5. ited States Supreme Court-room was * , 1 • Jar with lawyers, including some al .iislinction from various parts o' ry. to hear the argument on the qnes- . whether a pardon by the President - he recipient to all the rights of citi- which he enjoyed previously to the j : .

Yet the act of Congress fixes a ual bar to his holding of office, and is in : opposition to the pardon. The President by Ins pardon, you shall not be precluded practicing in the Supreme Court, but ,• act of Congress he, is disqualified. President is trying to 'pardon and the cross to punish; the former is wiped out by :er.

The President says to the :‘.loner : “I pardon you; yon shall not be - -aiiTied in consequence of any treason you i >mantled,” but Congress says to him u -hail not practice in the Conrts unless j taxa an oath that you never committed the and if you swaar falsely you shall be Jed.” When a pardon is granted, the re ar cannot be deprived of the restoration of r khu, because it is in effect forbidden by r nstinttion of the United States. Chief ' Uc T >l »«hafi says we must regard toe act ■^8 S5ppodO«>tf England If nd be pencil niffinuhf rived iu this city fo-dnr .w«r"Tt»»E ne ,l® «. qualification for office that the recipients had i his antagoustic position, when he engaged in never voted for or against a particular caudi- j rebellion, become a public enemy, and thus date, and thus perpetuate, their power. Tbe vacated -the office which he held. The pa'r- right of the petitioner to exercise his office is a species of property and to be considered as any other right. No man can, under the Con stitution, be deprived of bis rights until he is heard according to the forms of law. The authoTitics sustain the petitioner that he has rights in this Court, of which he -can be de prived only by dtie process. The law of Con gress finds an excuse in the truth that it was a war act. When it was passed our sons were falling on many battle-fields. Mothers and friends were weeping at open graves, and the public heart was stung te madness and revenge, but now that peace has returned, let the small still voice go from this temple to quiet what ever excitement may exist, and encourage every one to the performance cf duty, so that peace and prosjrcrity may shed their blessings over a once more united people. If we get from this court sueh a proclamation, then [hose who believe in a special Providence, and that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without His special notice, will-find their faith strengthened by the accession to the Chief- Justieesbip of one who enjoys the reputation of always having been tbe generous friend of pupular liberty in its most comprehensive sense. Attorney General Speed said he rejoiced as much as Mr. Carpenter, who had just ad dressed the Court, that peace has agdin retorn- ed. As he understood the argument that gentlenftn bad maintained, that while in re bellion against the United States, Mr. Gar land was still au officer of this court, with as much right to it as he had to locomotion and property. On this Mr. Speed took issue.— There never was a time when Congress did not prescribe qualifications for office. The petitioner arrayed himself with those who not only endeavored to destroy this Court, but the Government itself, and thereby ceased to be an officer. Could not the power that made the office destroy it? If the position of the gen tleman was correct, Judge Magrath, who nev er resigned his place as Judge of the District Court of South Carolina, but who took part in the Rebellion,.will be restored to-his position when he is pardoned by the President. But the pardoffi would not certainly restore hint.— Take also the case of postmasters and officers of the army and navy who participated in the Rebellion. It certainly would not be contend ed that a pardon would restore,to them their offices and regalia. The proposition is that by his treason, Mr. Garland did not forfeit his of fice ; and it is insisted that an attorney in this court holds an office now there are public and private officers as there are public and private corporations, and there are offices established in the Constitution and also by law. t Is the position of an attorney a private or a public office? Is it his private property? An at torney is not admitted to the bar for the pur pose of giving him office. Congress has said that the Court may establish rules, and in 1789 tiie qualification fpr the place wgs framed is it now stands. Other qualifications may be required, such as the examination by a hoard of the applicants for admission, Mr. Speed then controverted the Qther propo- 1 siiiuti of Mr. Carpenter. The place held by Jan attorney was an office, but what was the tenure ? When he accepted the otllce did he not known the court could prescribe such rules as would deprive hinuof the office ? The power ot O&ngress over the qualification was known to him when he entered upon it. The decision had been made over aud over again that Congress could prescribe the qualifications. Offices are held at the will ot the power conferring them, and the duties may from time to time be changed.- There is nothing like a penalty in the law ; it is a qualitje.i'ion. As to whether a qualification isa penahy depends on the standpoint. A State may say a person under twenty-one years shall not vote, or that he shall not vote unless he pos sesses a property qualification; and this court oi*F say that a man practicing at its bsr must hare a fair character, and that he has practiced for three years in the highest court of his State, lie would deprecate any act- which would pre vent reunion, but at the Same time he would de- sire Congress to pass such laws as would keep out of high places those who have not been faith ful to their country in the past. The' time is Burning, bntwe cannot say so yet with Mr. Car penter, that peace reigns. The President has not yel so declared. Those who held office under the Government, but who went into Rebellion, did not so behave as to entitle themselves to reocou- paney. Was there anything irf the spirit of ihg Constitution, was it so-framed that a pardon ar rests the arm of justice ? A pardon pre vents the milictjon of punishment, but it is hot a j'tions key to enable the patty to unlock the offices ot Government. .The pardon was au iron-clad, so to . speak, tor the purpose of defense. The gentleman re-r marked that, while the pardon-says the recipient shall not- be punished, the law of Congress says he shall; but the President does not say the petitioner shall practice in this Coart. The, President only gives him the right of every otlmr citizen. It is the party’s own fault if he cannot take the oath. It is simply to give as surance to the Court that they will not admit to practice a party wjto has been in the rebel lion. There is in tbe oath a statement of fact that the party has not been in rebellion qgainst the'Unitbd .States. If so, he cannot appear in this and other legal tribunals. It is,, he re peated. a fact, and not a test. It has been de cided by authorities which he quoted, that while a pardon is a protection against all as saults for the thing done, it can never be-the foundation for a claim. If Mr. Garland's of fice was forfeited wheu he became a public ene- mv. ie he not coming before the Court with; the President's pardon apd making it the fbun- dation Of a claim ? That cannpt be done. It is a simple protection ; not a weapon of defence, not a key by which office can be opened. Mr. Speed admitted that tb cali a man, whobiw re ceived a pardon, a “ traitor” or a “felon” is actionable; hut suppose-it'js Said, ‘.‘you iqere.a. traitor or a felon,” this is not actionable. A pardon does not wipe eut a fault. It still r<r- mains. May not CongMSS say speh facts-are disqualifications ?. Is it not competent for Congress to say a inu'rderec shall not stand here ? Is not this embraced in the words of the bill—of fair' characttf ? -Can it be said that a man hits a fair character -who comes here after 'he hat attempted to destroy the Government? Does tbit that disqualify him in this Court ? Is it rtot com petent for- Congress to say that'the pardon shall not qualify a man. for practice iaTtmW Court, and cannot the people of a State say, through their delegated authority, that a man who has committed a homicide shall never vote or.bold office? ,VVhqt more power have the people in convention than Congress b a<l under the Constitution V Conveptions .ean prescribe the qualifications of candidate? lor office. Congress has power just as plenary.— Mr. Speed maintains, then, that the qualifica tion in the law is not a penalty. He looked, ripon it as something which Cepgress may make it the duty of the Court to embrace — After farther argument Mr. Speed said be wanted all the powers of the Government ex ercised for the purpose of bringing about peace. No Government bad ever before pass* eil through so many trials at oar own within four years. The sjumbering powers don did not restore him, nor give the petition er a right he did hot Otherwise possess. He repeated the oath' prescribed by Congress was a qualification, and not a penalty, and it was competent for Congress to prescribe it. Tbe oath was just both in letter and spirit. The Hon. Reverdy Johnson will on next Friday continue tbe argument in support of the application of the petition. The remarks of Messrs. Carpenter and Speed were listened to with marked attention. The abpve is a mere outline of the prominent views presented by these gentlemen. JEFF. DAVIS. HIS CONDITION, HEALTH, PECTS AND HOPES. PROS- WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT TfclAL. HIS HIS VIEWS OF THE UTILITY OF BULLETS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. TBE RABEAS COBPl'S CASE IN ALABAMA- CONDITION OF CLEMENT G. CLAY, Ac., A" . * Ac.,. ' Ac. Fcbtbebs, Mgbrob, Dec Iff 1865. Jeff- Davis, were it not for the occasional stray paragraphs that work their way into the country papers so presumptively positive, and yet vague ly hypothetical, regarding his trial, would soon, I verily believe, ceaso to he remembered as still a prisoner here. His self-exiled family, who vol untarily ^exchanged the sunny South for the cold climate of Canada, may remember him, and so the most deluded of his collaborators to overturn the government, and so the few firoside fanatics that did so much to get him into his diffionlty, and, as” a sort of recompense, are now getting up praying petitions for his pardon; and so his cred itors, if he has any. But the great multitude have other cares than curing for him—cares poli tical, commercial and domestic). Qe has lost his power, his-prostige, and Is oast aside as no longer useful—is forgotten. What oare these whether he lives here or elsewhere; whether he dies in prison or out of it; whether he breathes hw last in Christian fashion in bed, or-in a criminal costume, dangling at the ond of a rope ? He is evidently fast becoming convinced of his rapidly diminish ing consequence. His eyes have lost tho con temptuous Look they once had, and there is less hauteur of mannor, less reserve and earcasm of speech. The time may ooino when madly he will implord life aud pily, when our nation in calm counoil, and not fevered with thirst of bleed, may decree his delivery to the executioner, that thou sands to whom such lesson would prove a whole- gome teaching, may look on and learn, bow they perish who betray their country. But this time is not even yet positive that his trial on the charge of,treason has been determined upon.— The nearest approach to anything decisive is the inference regarding the matter to be drawn from the President’s Message. What Davis saj/s About l]is Trial. Reading the late Message of the President has not, I am told, ptodiiepd a vary agreeable im pression upon Mr. Davis as to his trial. He looked for something more assured on the sub ject—an assurance, at least t that would have the effect to quell bis anxiety and- give an inkling ot the doom awaiting him. As Captain Wu z slept better when his sentence was made known to him, as death is frequently preferable to worry ing,, delay and uncertainty, so Davis would he more at rest if the simple preliminary tact Whether he is to be tnedor not, and before what tribunal, could be made kuo'wn to him. ‘ What do you think ot the President’s mes sage ?” an officer asked him, “It is wisely and boldly specific upon every subject, but the single one concerning me most vitally—my trial,” replied Mr. DaTis. Quickly the officer comprehended what the one vital sub ject was, and his delicacy forbade further ques- tioning. But there was that in the tone of response and the look of bitter disappointment accompanying it, which portrayed more rapidly and earnestly than Words could hia views and the keenness of his disappointment. Jefferson on the Utility of' Bullets. However Mr. Davis may be disappointed upon the subject ot bis trial, it has not so far de- S ressed him but he is yet ready for a joke Gen. liles came.into his room two mornings since, and, after exchanging the usual morning saluta tions, took a bullet from his pocket and careless ly commenced, whittling it. •iShpuidn’t waste ballets now,” exclaimed Davis; “the President’s Message holds out a possibility of war wrth England, if not also with Prance,'and bullets may come more in demand the next four years than the past four years.” I did Dot think to question my informant whether the General stopped hid bullet whittling, but from the fact as now given may be gathered M r. Davis’ opinion of the President’s Message from another point of view than that given above. , Jeff"s - Condition and Health. I started only to write the fact that Jeff Davis is still a prisoner herfe,"that the fact may,not be forgotten wholly by the public. He is still in Carroll Hall; still in a large aud well but plainly furnished room; still in the enjoyment ot a good attendance; still allowed abundant reading mat ter; still permitted bis daily walks on tee para pet, and last but not least, still granted as re gards eating, as say hotel bHiff, “fbe best market affords.” ' Excepting ‘occasional boils, which trouble him with dob-like persistency, though happily not quite as plentifully, his health con tinues good’ The methodical precis on of one habituated to business, is evident in bis arrange ment ot his papers and books, and the" same fas tidiousness upon the subject of dress and clean linen is stiff a prominent characteristic. Wheu he walks out he is always neatly gloved, andhfs jaunty cane bears him unfailing company. Hie strength of Willis remarkable. It has sustained him thusfar through a long, ant} what, to ooe of his active habits, restless energies and grasping' ambition, must be a torturing . imprisonment.

Th& Warrant ffor Attachment Against Qe- neral Wood Vacated—Judge Busteetj > , Protests Against the Action of the Presi- sident,, tfcc. Mobile, Dec. 12, 1865. It will be recollected that Thomas G. A. Dexter, a special "Treasury Agent, was arrested by the military on tbe charge of fraud, and that General Wood, com manding the Department of Alabama, declined to obey the writ of habeas cor pus issued by Judge Busteed for the lib eration of Dexter, on the ground that said writ was suspended in the Statei by pro clamation of tlie President, and that the action of General Wood in this matter was sustained by tbe President. Yester day Judge Busteed delivered the final opinion in this case, saying: The warrant for attachment against General Wood will be vacated without the Court’s consent; but, while acquitting General Wood, I cannot, even by impli cation, consent to what I consider an en-. croachment of the Executive Department of the Government upon one of its co ordinate branches. The exercise of these functions by the President npt only -allows, but directs disobedience to these authorities. I claim exemption from any responsibility of guilt as alleged. No official station is or ought to be be yond tbe public watchfulness, and, as with us all, places and power and acts are held in trust for the people, I deem it due alike to them and myself to make the foregoing statement of facts. I respect fully protest against the acts of the Pre sident, and assert that the trial of the pe titioner, Dexter, cannot lawfully proceed in any other way than that established according to the forms now prescribed by the Constitution, Christian reverence and obedience to which is the most patriotic service that either citizen or official cant render to the Government. / MEXICO. Important Victory by General Dias Over the French—Adoption of a Neto Plan of Campaign, &c'. ; Washington, Dec. li, T8G5. Official news from Acapulco has been received by Senor Romero, the Mexican minister. The dates are to November 2C. General Alvarez transmits the-details" of an important victory over the French obtained by the enterprising General Diaz, shortly after his escape from the jail in which he was confined at Puebla. The national forces obtained quite a number of arms, horses, Ac., and also the papers of the French commanding officer. On tire 80th of October last General Biaz had an interview with General Al varez, near Acapulco with the view of commencing a new campaign against the French, in which the States of Oajaea and Guerero will act in combination. The national cause is represented in the ascendancy in Southern Mexico. The Great Cotton Fire at Columbus, - - Miniuippi. The-Mobile Times of December 2 contains some interesting particulars of the recent great fire in Columbus, Miss. Tbe building burned was known as the “Confederate Arsenal build ing,” occupied as a government warehouse for storing cotton. This building was about three hundred feet long, with two wings, forming three sides of a square. It was of brick, and probably cost $75,000 or $100,000. The fire was discovered issuing from all sides of the building at once, which fact soon made it apparent that it would be impossible to res cue any of the cotton from the flames. There were about two hundred bales of cotton out side- the boilding, which were rolled off and saved by the citizens. Mr. H. Johnson- was present and personally assisted in getting the cotton out of the way of the flames. It is es timated that there were about four thousand bales of government cotton in the arsenal building, and all of it was entirely Consumed. The loss of the cotton and boilding is esti mated at about one million of dollars. The cotton and building were guarded by United States soldiers, and how it could havo been set on fire, so as to be enveloped in flames in all parts of the. extensive boilding at the same time, is a mystery yet to be solved. The fire was undoubtedly the work of incen diaries. Deatli of a Noted yirffinitui. Dr. Samuel Stuart Griffin died at Williams burg, Va., recently in his 83d year. It is Stated that he was a son of the late Judge Cy rus Griffin and” Lady Christina Stuart, a daughter of the Earl of Traquair, Scotland. He was said to be a gentleman of high order of intellect and of the most finished education. William and Mary and the University ’of Edin burg were his Alma Maters. On his return from Eqrbpe he married Miss Lewis, of Glpu- cester. Va., whom he survived eighteen years. For more than fifty years he was a practitioner of medicine. A Comet Yisibbe.— Biala’s comet, which- is said to be now visible to - the naked eye, may be seen in the neighbor hood of the Constellation Pegassua, and close to the bright star Marah, one of the bright iuminakes which form the well known square of. Pegassns. It” is pursuing a southeasterly course, and will cross the celestial square about the middle of this month. It’ will continue to approach the earth until the end of February, When its distance from us will be only eighteen millions of miles.

This has been a m33t remarkable day, the at- the^Constitution when^the war omnronniitad mosphere equalling the warmth of summer. At Soutliern Items. Louisiana papers §ay that there has been a decided falling off in the receipts- of cotton, which hah been caused both by the scarcity of the staple in the country and the decline of prices. .. throughout the country are making pre parations to plant large cotton crops next year. They are bribing Government moles, repairing their fences and purcha sing agricultural implements. Red River lands are in demand, either for sale of rent, and every man who can cultivate the soil intends to-make a crop. A gentleman in Raleigh was taking an evening walk a few evenings ago, when r he was attacked by three ruffians.' He, being fortunately armed and equipped for such an- adventure, kneoked down the first two of his ^assailants with a heavy cane, and shot the third. They naturally begged for quarter, and he, be ing unable to find a policeman, was obliged to let them go. A Richmond paper says that some of the leading capitalists North ate visiting Richmond, and seeing the condition of affairs in Virginia, have begun the for mation of “Loan Associations” with suf ficient capital to make liberal loans. It is now considered settled that 33,- 000,000 will soon be raised for a railroad from the Western Maryland Railroad via Hagerstown to Cumberland, thereby opening up another outlet from tbe Mary land coal region to Baltimore. It is said that this road is of great stragetic signifi cance. The Richmond Republic says that the United States Commissary Department in that city has issued to destitute citi zens, since the l*2th of last June,-520,400 rations, and i# now issuing 11,000 rations per Week. After the 15th inst. the issue is to be discontinued. The work of repairing the Ifevees of the Mississippi at New Orleans is rapidly giv ing forward.- General Hheridan has offer ed some material aid, in-the shape of 'a thousand wheelbarrows and ten thousand shovels and spades. ... .
