The old Con stitution authorized the Supreme Court to issue writs of mandamus, quo warranto and pro hibitions merely to preserve its own dignity and integrity; hqt the new one goes farther, and empowers the Court to -issue these writs in all cases. Of course, the Gourt.will assert : Its right under this' provision, and, if Mr. G. does not appear on ne?t Tijesday, the writ' of quo roarraato wiil'issue; and then if this writ be not obeyed, he will be arrested and con fined for contempt of Court. Again, it is said by those who appear to know, that Gleason will obey tbe order of tbe Court, appear by counsel and have the ease argued from day to day until the Legis lature meets ill January, when, the Court itseif will be impeached for 'going outside of itsjhriBdictwnrV \ !/../'? ., , ■!...

M.,”: writing, from this place to the Republican,. under data of tbe 14i-hj makes a great mistake when he says that the people f’mftriifest no particular interest” in this impeachment business; and though they may, as he asserts, regard it'as a “diamond ctjt fii.qmond” affair, yet they dread the issue as resifltiqg fovoygMy t° the Gleason faction; for they well know that there is not a more daring, unscrupulous, devilish fellow in the whole Republican party than this same Gleason. If he fioes come out at the “big end of the horn,” “ra* riefis” will' be his motto. Then, indeed, will the people of Florida realize to Die fullest extent the horrors of Radical rule- With inch a man at the helm of State, only a-brief period of time is required for this Republican “liberty” to run into anarchy, bloodshed arid ruin. The dying words of Madam Roland will come home to us with all the vividness of the Reign of Tenar: “Ob Liberty,-*what crimes are committed in tby name- State politics are considerably on the wane hero, and the people manifest very little in terest in the election which is to take place on the 29th of next month—a foot .owing in a great measure to their aversion to take the registration oath, resulting from a misappre hension of its terms.

Butler’s Position—A special repor ter-of-toe N6w -York Herald has recently had a'conversation with Ren Butler, who has ex pectations of becoming the Radical leader of toe next Congress. The late Presidential election, said the General, was a -“thrown race;” toe leaders of the Democracy having intended it to go just as it did, Grant win ning the Presidency and Hoffinan winning New York. The newspaper defection in New York and Washington waspart of the scheme, the closeness of the' race in Pennsylvania and Indiana determining the leaders tode- jetoe party by toe proposed change of front. The new administration will be radi cal up.on th® reconstruction points, but con servative upon financial matters. As to the Alabama claims, he thinks the people ore 'willing to wait-until the precedent can be used during some English war to square ac counts by a like chance on British commerce. > l ♦ » 4 — f ’The Tobtugas Prisoners. —The Boston Ad- •verliscr; ispeakiflg oL the^ men now confined in the Dry Tortugas on the charge of com- _ icity in the assassination of President Lin coln, says: “ Nobody ever eppoeived that Arnold was gnilty .of anything beyond the plot to abdnet; there are grave 'doubts whether OXaughlin, now dead, was implicated for- ther 'than that, and toe commission which tried them'‘understood tins fully, or they would have been sentenced to toe gallows instead of for life at the Tortugas.
