' By Atlantic Cable.) ABYSSINIA. London, April 20. Stiil later advices from Abyssinia, dated at Zoula, on the ISch of April, have been re ceived here. The very latest reports had at that i;olnt from the scene of action in Mag-dola represent but 14,000 native troops hnd laid down their arms to Hapier, and that Theodorus had five hundred soldiers killed and fifteen hundred wounded in the late engagement.Advices from Napier's headquarters in Magdola, without date, are also at hand. They state that the Europeans lately held captive there, numbering sixty souls, including men, women and children were already on the route to Zoula for home, and that the entire force of Theodorus' army had been either killed, wounded or captured. General Napier takes by his victory the twenty-eiht large guns just used against him, 5,000 stand of small arms, 10,000 shields, sucli as are used In battle in open field by the Abyssin-lans, 10,000 spears and many other articles of war equipment. After the works were completely taken King Theodorus was found dead by English soldiers on entering the center of his stronghold, lie was shot through the head. Some persons say he was killed during one of the battles, others incline to the opinion that he committed suicide wheu he found the fortune of the day against him. The King's body was recognized among the killed and wounded by the British captives when released. Theodorus' two sons were taken prisoners. The interior of the fortress of JIagdola presented a splendkl slght.a palace glowing with barbaric splendor. The British troops plundered It at once. They found four royal crowns made of solid gold, twenty thousand dollars In silver, one thousand silver plates, several lots of rich jewels and other articles of great value. AUSTRALIA.

GEORGIA, New Yokk, April 27. An Atlanta special to the Tribune says: Semi-official statements, from thirty-four counties, give 4,500 majority for the Constitution, and 3,000 majority for Bullock. Full official returns will not be received before Friday. Judges who are thoroughly competent to give an opinion now estimate that the Constitution" has been carried by at least 7,000 majority, and that Bullock Is chosen Governor by 0,000. It Is probable that a ma jority of Democrats have been chosen to the Legislature, nut it remained to be seen whether enough of them can take the oath to make a quorum MISSOURI. St. Louts, April 27. A convention of the Radical editors of Missouri Is to be held here on the first of May, to effect a more thorough political organization for the coming campaign. U. S. Senator Charles U.

The Court opened at noon. The pending question was stated to be the order of Senator Edmunds, that official reporters be admitted to the secret session to take the debate on the final question, to be reported with the proceedings. Mr. WILLIAMS moved to amend by inserting the following at the end : "But no Senator shall speak more than once, nor to exceed fifteen miuutes during such deliberations."At the desire of Senator Johnson rule 33 was read. Mr. JOHNSON said that will be on each article. ' Mr. HOWARD moved to amend the amendment by Inserting after the words "fifteen minutes" the words "one question." The amendment was rejected by 1!) to 30. Mr. BAYARD moved to amend Mr. Williams's amendment by allowing thirty minutes instead of fifteen. Rejected by 10 against 34. On motion of Mr. MORTON, seconded by Mr. HOWARD, further consideration of the subject was postponed until after the argument is concluded. The additional rules offered by Mr. SUMNER was, upon his motion, laid over until the close of the argument. The CHIEF JUSTICE directed that the argument proceed, and at 12:150 Mr. STEVENS mounted the Clerk's desk and read his argument in a pretty firm voice from printed slips. After about ten minutes he took the Chair and read, sitting. At five minutes before 1, his voice showed signs of weakness, and Mr. BliTLER read the remainder of his argument. Manager STEVENS said he should discuss but a single article, the one that was finally adopted Upon his earnest solicitation, and which, if proved, he considered as quite suill-cieut for thu conviction of the distinguished respondeute; he desired to discuss the charges in no mean spirit of vituperation, but to iirguethem In a manner worthy of the high tribunal before which he appeared, and of the exalted position of the accused. The trial of the Chief Magistrate of the nation, which was intensely interesting to millions of men, could not be belittled and reduced to mockery. When Audrew Johnson took upon himself the duties of office, he swore to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Tho duties of legislation and tho adjudication of law fall in no way to his lot. To obey the commands of the sovcreigu power of the nation, and to see that others obeyed, was his whole duty. His attempt to escape that duty will be misprison of perjury. Mr. Stevens said: " I accuse him lu the name of the House of Representatives, of having perpetrated that foul offense." Mr. Stevens then reviewed the question of the Secretaryship of War, and charged that the President had plainly and wilfully violated a law which he had sworn to see faithfully executed. , Mr. Stevens ridiculed the Idea set up by the respondent, that the ease did not come under the tenure of office law because Mr. Stanton was appoiutcd by Mr. Lincoln. He claimed that by the Constitution the Vice President, when called to the Presidency, was not seruiug out a new term of his own, but only tho unexpired term of his predecessor.Relative to the matter of Intent Mr. Ste vens said that In Impeachments more than In indictments the averring of the fact charged carried with it all that was necessary to say about the Intent. He went further than some and contended that no corrupt or wicked motive need instigate the acts for which Impeachment is brought. It was enough that they were an official violation of the law. The President justifies himself by asserting that all previous Presidents had exercised the same right of removing officers; but there were now express laws against It, so the cases were not parallel. Tne President said ho removed Stanton to test the constitutionality of the law. He had already seen it tested and decided by tho votes twice given by two-thirds of the Senators and Members of the House of Repre-sedtatlves, it stood as law upon the statute books. Instead of enforcing that law he took advantage of the name and fuuds of the United States to resist it and Induced others to resist It. The President asserted he did not rcmovo Stanton under thoTeuure-of-Office law. This was a direct contradiction of his own letter to the Secretary of the Treasury. How necessary that a man should have a cood conscience or a good memory I Tho President denies he attempted to pre-veut tho execution of the Teuure-of-Oillce law and yet iu his correspondence with Gen. Grant he approached the General by the as-sertlon that he, General Grant, kuew his object was to prevent Edwin M. Stanton from lorthwlth resuming the functions of his office notwithstanding the Semite might deckle In his favor. A question of veracity grew out of this correspondence, tho Prosldeut asserting the General had promised to aid him iu defeating the execution of the laws by pre-ventlug the Immediate resumptions of the functions of Secretary of War by Stanton, and that the General violated his promise. This the General denies though ho agrees with the President that the President did in-duee him to make such a promise aud enter into such an arrungemeut, he maiutalned the President had been guilty of violating tJie law and of committing official peri ury. Mr. STEVENS then referred to the rlnlin of the President to vlolato theTenuiv-of-Oi-lice law becauso he considered It Invalid, and considered the position of tho President lu accepting the oath to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. He also detailed the action of Congress on tho law, expounded Its provisions and criticised the claims of the President to disregard tlum. He then took up the action of the Senate on the message of tho President, Informing that body of tho suspension of Mr. Stauton, and afterwards Its action upon tho removal of Mr. Stanton and tho appointment of Mr. Thomas i(f interim, notwithstanding tho Senate declared ho had no power to remove the Secretary of War and designate any other officer to perform tho duties of tho office ml inform. Ho contiuncd them lu olllce. This offspring of assasslnutlon, said Mr. Stevens, turned upon the Senate, who Have thus rebuked hlra lu a constitutional manner, and bids them defiance. Mr. Stevens then discussed Uio article charging the President; with usurping legislative powers and proceeded to show how he had interfered with the work of reconstruction. He then briefly reviewed the whole case; compared the services of Mr. Stauton with those of Mr., Johnson; noticed the claim of the court:." sel, that no removal of Mr. Stanton had taken . place, because Mr. S. still held on to the office; and concluded by saying, If the Presi- ' dent Is not willing to execute tho laws of. Congress, let him resigu aud retire to his" village obscurity. After the death of Mr. . Lincoln, instead of being content with the position the people had given him, he sought to become thereafter, as then, the Chief Ex- ' ecutlve of the nation. This he knew could f only be done by changing principles and creating a new party to sustain him. After some , little hesitation he resolved upon that course, and perpetrated a betrayal of the party teat ,' had elected him, and the principles he pro- '. fessed, baser than the betrayal by Judas Is-cariot, who betrayed ou!y a single individual. Johnson sacrificed a whole nation and the holiest of principles. Mr. WILLIAMS then took the floor. After . speaking of the august character of the tribunal, and the luteile interest which is felt all over the country by the entire people, who were awaiting with anxiety the verdict, . which is either to send thrills of joy to an atllicted land, or rack it anew with the throes of anarchy and despair, he proceeded to state that the matter now presented for discussion was not a quarrel between two officials, but an issue between the Executive and the American people. He, too, would ask, Who Is Andrew Johnson? and would answer the' question in a different manner from the President's counsel. He then intimated that Join-son's opposition to secession, in the Senate, was perhaps prompted by a doubt whether the step was advisable at that particular- .' time; but however that might be, he would consider him as he is now, and as he had , been since he came into power. Mr. W. held that the masterhelp to all his conduct as President was his desire to favor aud uphold traitors, and force the rebel States into the Union on his own plan against the expressed will of Congr. ss aud the loyal people, and went on to recite a great number of acts of the President which "he claimed were usurpations and offenses explicable only on the above supposition. The culmination of the long series of usurpations of his oath of office and iudecencies was his attempt to displace Stauton in contempt of theTe'nure-of-Oillce law. Mr. W. took up the ar.swprs made by the President's counsel to the charge of violating that law, and llr$t . diseased" the proviso which, It was alleged, excluded .Mr. Stauton from its operation. He had himself suggested that amendment aud explained its meaning, and had never dreamed that such a construction would bo put upon it as read by the President's counsel. It would be con- . trary to the purpose of the bill. Mr. Stanton's Case was certainly meant to be covered. If it was not the originating cause of iu Introduction he claimed that the principles of the construction require the proviso to be construed In the light of the purpose of the law, and held that the objection made was that Mr. Stantou did not come within its effect because he was not formerly appointed by Mr. Johnson. This might be almost termed a quibble. The Senate here took a recess. On reassembling I Mr. WILLIAMS considered the point set up by the defense, that the law is unconstitutional, which he characterized as a defiance and challenge to Couirress. From the fact that the Constitution does not provide for removals, except by impeachment, he drew the Inference that a legislative bodv must possess the sole power of Judgiug when good behavior ceases and when removals should be made. He also claimed that the right to remove in certain cases was eif.ior a power delegated to the Executive by Congress, or merely Implied by the Constitution, and therefore uot to be extended to applv to all cases. He then discussed the judicial authority cited by the President's counsel, arguing that they afforded no countenance to his views, but settled the point that Congress may fix tenures of office so as to prevent removals by the President, and that his power to remove, so far as It exited, was only implied from his power to appoint against the legislative construction which was adduced lu support of the President's theory ou this subject. He cited passages frcm Webster and Calhoun's speeches and the writings of Kent and Story to show that the interpretation put ou the Constitution by the Congress of 17S9 was eroiieous and worthy of reversal, and called attention to the fact that the laws referred to were passed by a very small majority in the House, and lu the Senate only by the vote of the Vice President, who had a direct Interest In their passage. He denied that all wisdom had died with our fathers, and claimed that this Congress had as good a right to construe the Constitution as Its predecessor, maintaining the power of Congresn to determine the tenure of office, he referred to numerous laws fixius the tenure of virions offices at a variousnum- . her of years. At this jiolut, (4 o'clock), ou motion of Mr. MORRILL, of Yermout, who stated that Mr. Williams was unwell and would uot be aWc to finish his speech to-diiy, the Court adjourned ; and the Senate,- after receiving sereral executive communications, also ad-.Journed soon afterward. ho si:.
