The Paris correspond ent of too New York
Ttibunr, in a lengthy letter- descriptive of the
opening day, thus alludes to the celebrated
pianos manufactured by Stelnway & Sons, of
America.
"In the heart of the American triangle the
pianos are arranged one ot the largest and best
collections that the country has ever exported
or exhibited. Artist!) of eminence mnke per-
Setual music here, and the auarteris always
enoely crowdail. The superiority ot our Instru
ments Is not questioned even by the rival manu
facturers of Purl. Vienna, and'Leipsic. I'layel,
Krard, and llerz. have far Interior displays, and
find ltdlfllcultto attract (he LtUholfH,"Jaells,
and LIkzu of ihe coniinent to their plainer
cabinet wares and feebler instruments. All our
great firms are leproputeil, bdJ tho contending
keys, in passages which all the world warbles,
mingle their wind", a if the birds of the West,
in chore, had atetublrd here to lnir. The
epto'ators divide their enjoy men, now listeniug
to some composer try his own latest music upon
a fetein way, a Cuickeriug, a Knabe, or a Scho
mackcr; but the seven tuperb instrument of the
Ste Bways allure the professional people, and
here the best musical tulent in Kuropo mav be
seen from morning till dark Stephen Keller,
Eupene Ketteror, W. Krugcr, Alfred Jacll
trrouped about the bird cages. The 'overstrung'
liarp, as It is called, in the Stelnway piano, has
attracted the gieatest Interest here from its
novelty, and the sweetness and power which its
superior vibration gives. The best piano makers
iu Europe have sought the privilege ot sending
their workmen to examine it; and professional
urtisis compete to play upon it. it ts very odd
to note how, by our mechanical genius, we have
an carried away the honors in the arts, and our
department has the best music in the whole
Kslntiition. The grand Steinwav was said by
Iiosslnt to reeemble a nightingale cooing in a
tnunoerstorm."

Cruelty to Animals to bb Prevbntkd.
Pome weeks ago, Tub Evening Telkoraph
publixhed the Act of Assembly Incorporating
the "Pennsylvania Soolety for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals," with a sketch of the
proposed plan of operations of that Institution,
at the same time pointing out the necessity
which had called It into being. All the pre
liminary legislation having been granted, it
only remains for the Society toe fleet an organi
zation and commence operations under the
ample powers conferred upon its members.
Among the incorporators are included many of
the best known and most influential gentle
men In the community, and if a half-dozen ot
them will but take the matter earnestly In
hand. It cannot f.iil to become a great success,
and to bring about a much-needed reform.
To prepare the way f jr a permanent organiza
tion, a meeting of tun gentlemen named lu the
Act of Assembly will be lulu, on Monday next.
May 6. at 1 o't-loek P. M., In the Hoard of Trade
Kooms, at No. '505 Cbetinnt street. Mayor
McMlcbael will preside, and the meeting will be
addressed by several gentlemen interested in
the inenRure. Among these will be Henry
Bergb, Ksq., the President of the New York
Society, who will give au Interesting account of
nis experience In the prevention of cruelty to
the brute creation In New York and other cities.
It la desirable that not only those named as
Incorporators should attend, but as well all who
desire to see some restraint thrown about the
conduct of the unteel'ng men who appear to
glory lu the misery of dumb brutes.
An Attempted Outrage and Brutal As
sault. Last Sunday eveningayoung lady was
asslng along on Washington street, below
iipple's lane, in Mnnayunk, when a man by
the name of William Welch sprang out from
behind some bushes where he lay hid, caught
bold of her and knocked her down, and made
every attempt to outrage her person. The
young lady cried aloud for help, and to stop her
Welch beat her about the body and on the bead,
and it Is alleged struck her in the face, making
an ugly-looking wound.
The young lady fought with energy, and kept
her assailant at bay until footsteps being
plainly heard, and coming fast, made tne
criminal desist and run away to escape detec
tion; but he Jumped from the frying-pan into
the lire. For Officer Orth, seeing the unusual
manner in which he was coming along, laid
hands upon him. On returning with him to
the place from whence the cries were heard, no
one was to be seen, and Welch was then let go.
The next roorulug the lady appeared and
made complaint, and the description she gave
perlectly coincided with the person Ollloer Orth
had nrrcRted. Information was given OfrJcer
Wbite.who went to Montgomery county, where

The Trial of Jeff. Davis.
The question of what shall be done witty
Jeff. Davis will soon be brought to a head.
Judge Underwood, of the United States District
Court for Virginia, yesterday granted a writ of
habeas corpus at Alexandria, for the purpose
of bringing the prisoner before his Court at the
next term, which meets at Richmond, Monday,
6th inst. The writ ia directed to General Uur
ton, the oflicer in command at Fortress Monroe,
and was to-day taken by Mr. George Shea, who
ia associated with Mr. O'Conor as counsel for
Davis, to Richmond, where he will place it in
the hands of Deputy United States Marshal VV.
A. Duncan for service. The writ is made re
turnable on the second Monday in May, the
llHh inst. With relerenco to the surrender of
Davis by tho military authorities, it may lie
stated that his counsel profess to have
assurances from the Secretary of War that
General Burton will be directed to obey the
writ in other wordi, that the military cus
tody of the prisoner shall cease, and that he
be surrendered to the civil authorities, to lie
dealt with under the laws. United States
District Attorney Chandler, of Virginia, is
here consulting with Attorney-General
Stanlery regarding the practicability of
a trial at the present term. Mr. Chandler de
sires the concurrence of the Attorney-General
in whatever course it may be necessary for
him to pursue, but that gentleman has not
yet declared his purposes, though he is be
lieved to be in favor of an early trial, as is
also Judge Underwood. Davis' counsel will
demand his trial or his unconditional dis
charge. In this connection it may be stated
that of the twenty-four Grand Jurors sum
moned for the present term of Judge Under
wood's Court, nineteen are white and five are
colored.
The Japanese Commissioners.
The Japanese Commissioners, accompanied
by Secretary Seward, arrived at the lixecative
Mansion this morning, shortly before the hour
of the Cabinet meeting, at 12 o'clock, and
were presented to tho President, who received
them in one ot the private reception rooms
Secretary McCulloch was present.
The interview was strictly of that formal
character with which the introduction of
foreign commissioners or diplomats from any
country is always conducted.
The Chief Commissioner was clad iu the
official costume of his rank, and, upon being
introduced by the Secretary of State, made a
short address to the President, in which he
stated his happiness at the meeting, and con
veyed to him kind expressions from the
Tycoon. The credentials were read in the
original and translated to the President, who
expressed pleasure ot the meeting.
The particular object of the mission will be
conveyed to the Government through the aecre
tary ol state, to whom it will bo communi
cated at an early day.
At the conclusion of the interview, which
lasted only about twenty-live minutes, tho
Commissioners were conducted through the
various public rooms of the Kxecutive
Mansion.
The Japanese design remaining here for
some time.
The Mississippi Case.
In the Supreme Court to-day, the Hon.
Robert J. Walker (the Mississippi case being
before it) said he believed that constitutional
liberty and self-government were now on trial
yea, upon their hnal trial and it was to be
decided lor posterity and for all the world,
whether the written constitutions were mere
parchment scrolls, whether they were words
written in sand, to be swept away by
the first surge of popular passion which
may roll over them, and whether they
could be evaded by technical issues, or the
plea of jurisdiction. The learned gentleman
delended the President irom the attacks of a
part of the secession press, showing that
although the Executive may veto a bill, it
became a law by the subsequent action of
the two Houses of Congress passing it by
the requisite two-thirds majority. It was then
an act just as much as if the Presidentt had
approved it. The President, after these pro
ceedings, in accordance with the Constitu
tion, has no discretion; he must execute the
law.
This being the fact, the question arose
whether Congress had power to pass an act
beyond the range of judicial inquiry. This
Mr. Walker denied, and argued that the Con
stitution provided that such cases as this are to
be brought inro Court m order that their con
stitutionality might be determined. In reply
ing to Attorney-General Stanberry's remarks
ot last Friday, he (Mr. Walker) maintained that
political questions had not been excluded from
this Court, and in support of this position re
ferred among other and more recent cases, to
the Military Commission and test oath ques
tions, upon both of which the Supreme Court
had pronounced their decision.
Mr. Walker quoted various decisions to
show, in further refutation of the Attorney
General's views, that this court has jurisdic
tion in cases not involving money and land,
and in conclusion, while speaking of the des
potic and wholesale sweeping out of ten
States, by the terms of the Reconstruction
act, directly contrary to the Constitution
of the United States, said that a broader bill of
attainder had never been passed, reducing ten
millions of loyal and disloyal people to tern
tonal bondage, and substituting the gleaming
sword and glistening bayonet for constitu
tional guards and the courts of law.
The argument on each side was heretofore
limited to two hours, but Mr. Walker was
permitted by the Court, without interruption.
to speak more than an hour beyond that
time, owing to the importance of the subject
Involved.
There was a largo attendance of auditors,
including many lawyers of distinction, during
the delivery ot Mr. walker a argument.
When Mr. Walker finished his remarks, it
wanted twenty minutes to 3 o'clock, the latter
being the usual hour of adjournment. After
consultation, the Court said they would hear
Attorney-General btanbery in reply on Mon
day next, to which time the Court adjourned

Mr. Mann sulci that he apprehended the latter

conclusion drawn and not facts within the
knowledge of the prisoner. He does not state
the basis of his opinion or the facts upon which
he grounds it. These should be stated to the

nature oi the charge he is called to answer, and
the sooner he can begin preparatlous to answer

Judge Brewster directed the prisoner s coun
sel to atk him what he would swear tbe man at
Fairmouni Park would testify to, which he did,
saying that It was 2 o'clock on the afternoon of
tbe 26th when he talked to the deponent at
Kairinount Park; also, tbat at fifteen minutes

who would swear as the other witness.
For t be sake of going on with the trial of the

iipkb to admit the contents ef the prisoner's

Judce Brewster said that upon the trial the
