Attorney, General and President interfered with the action of the military; commanders under it? Stevent-Yes;.and we were to await the action of the conventions held . under it- before . going any further. Of. •course the action of the conventions was not to be considered conclusive, because the judgment of Congress had to be passed upon it afterwards. If the law was frilly and fairly carried out, that was all we asked, There were portions of it which we very much disliked after Sherman had injected his conservative portion into it; but this was remedied by Shellabarger'e amendments, and we were disposed to go on and see what the conquered provinces did under the law before we proposed any thing else. We supposed they would have got through in all the territory before the adjournment of the next regular Congress. ABOLISHING THE EXISTING REBEL GOVERN • MENTB. Question—Shall you favor this session the distinct and entire abolishment of all the existing State governments in the so called rebel States? Mr. Stevens—Yes; that will be necessary under the President's action. I do not con sider those governments legal at all. We supposed them to be all virtually abolished by the Military bill. No one but Congress ever had authority to form any govern• ments at all in the conquered territory. Congress could authorize such agents as it might think proper to act for them, and the military commanders were in fact the agents of Congress, not of the President. STANBERY TO BE REM VED? Question—Shall you Lake any action for the removal of Attorney General Stanbery from the Cabinet this session for an unwar ranted interference with the Reconstruction law? Mr. Stevens—l have not made up my mind to that yet. Indeed, I have not thought of it. Ido not know now such a Cabinet officer as Attorney General exists at all. I have yet to learn by what consti tutional authority there is such a member of the Cabinet. I suppose we might abolish the office of Attorney General; but this probably would not be desirable. I think I shall be for letting him remain where he is; but I shall favor a declaration that his interference in this matter is impertinent and untiuthoized. Ile can only beregarded, however, us a mere instrument or tool of the President. Question—lfl understand you correctly, Mr. Stevens, the basis of your action now and hereafter will lie in the fact that the rebel States are conquered territory, with out the pale of the Constitution of the United States, and subject to such laws as the conquerors may think proper to im pose; that you will consider it your duty at this session to present a direct resolution or impeachment; but that you do not an ticipate its success, on account of the demoralized condition of the Republican party ill Congress, and shall, therefore, rest contented l'or the present with rendering the meaning or the reconstruction law specific as to voters and the powers of the military commanders, leaving such legislation as you deem proper for the conquered_ terri tory for a future session. Mr. Stevens— Yes, I believe you have correctly stated my position. I shall con sider it my duty to move a resolution of inipeaelitnent. Heretofore I have not prei,.sed the unifier of impeachment; but 1111 W, seeing :1 defiant determination to obstruct thy• laws and to prevent the will of Congress- which is, in other words, the will of the whole people of the Unitkl States— front I,ing carried out, I regard it :IS itl ellllll.olll.llplill na•, Its :1 representative of the 11l to propose the removal of this obstruction.

In answer to ques tions he stated that Raymond had been the worst failure he had seen in Congress. Ile had a pretty style of talking and a certain sort of smartia4ss in debate, but it was of the schoolboy, sophomorwal stlye, and could not stand an instant under the test 01 earnest principle.

He made a poor show in Congress among solid, earnest men. Ben 13utler, according to Old Thud, is a thorough failure as a ilongressman. "Al first," said Mr. Stevens, " I had looked on hint 103 a man with whom it would be dan gerous to measure swords in a debate. But 1 soon found that he had obtained a repu tation under false pretences.

Our telegt aphic ad vices of yesterday an nounced that a detachment of regular troops lets been entered by the English govern ment to Abyssinia to compel Theodore, the king et that country, to release certain Englishmen whom he has long held in captivity. The remote and isolated situa tion of Abyssinia, a kingdom in Eastern Africa, which does nut extend to the sea shore, and the climate of which is murder ous to white men, will render it necessary to send more than "a detachment of regular troops," tf England expects to make war upon that country, to say nothing of its largo military resources. The best estimates of Abyssinia indicate a population of about three millions, and tin area of about 7,-IA square miles. The present Emperor, Theodore, is described by the British consul, Plowden, as a "re markable man, of untiring energy and boundless daring, young, ofa striking coun tenance, and possessing great tact and delj eitey." The emperors of Abyssinia claim to be descended from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and one of the alleged causes of complaint of the present Emperor against one of his English prisoners was that he had traduced his character by throwing doubts on his lineal descent from that source. Theodore came to the throne in 1815, and succeeded in breaking the power of the great feudal chiefs, who had rendered the; authority of his predecessors merely nominal. His attention was soon directed to holding friendly intercourse with the British, who held the neighboring strong hold of Aden, and a treaty was concluded between them in 1859, in which it was stipulated that each State should receive ambassadors front the other. The execution of this stipulation seems to have been long deferred, and toward the end of 1865, Theodore wrote an autograph letter to Queen Victoria, requesting permis sion to send an embassy to England. Per haps it was at the Caine time that his al leged proposal to become the successor of Prince Albert was made, and it may be that this suggestion of imperial miscegena Lion was the reason that the letter was never answered. At any rate, the neglect to au scver it aroused the wrath of the Emperor,,, who, within a year afterwards, sent a body of troops to the English missionary station, seized ,the missionaries, the then British Consul, Mr. Cameron, and his secretary and servants, put them in chains and cast Bum into prison, the consul being chained continually to an Abyssinian soldier. The excitement produced by this act in England would have led to war at the time, but ,the inaccessibility of Abyssinia recom mended a resort to diplomacy rather than arms, and Mr. Rassam, assist ant to the British resident at Aden, was sent on a special mission, with forty camel loads of presents to the Emperor, who, however, put him and his friends under ar rest, telling them they would be considered "State guests" until he could get an an swer to a second letter which ho was about to write to the Queen. In this second let ter-he styles himself the "son of David, the son of Solomon, the king of kings, Theo dore," die. The bearer of this letter also conveyed a letter irom Mr. Rassam, in which, by desire of Theodore, he requested that English artisans might be sent to en gage in the Abyssinian service. Lord Stan ley dispatched an ultimatum to him that unless he liberated the captives he would forfeit the friendship of England, but the prisoners are stall held in captivity. The people of Abyssinia are said to be long mostly to the Shemetic race, and to resembie the Arabs both in physical char acteristics and structure of language. Toe king is a Christian, and his religious faith is spoken of as very decided. His military strength may be judged of from the tact that ou July 30th, last year, in a battle with the forces of two insurgent prOvinees, he. is represented to have been at the head of 95,000 men, Tad after a tremendous conflict, lasting.egji tigainsta large number of fnamegenterfAuitiaevolationtrwilitidirecta py English officers, he remained at night master of the`•fleld, though le purchased his success at a loss of 23,000 dead and 18,000 wounded.

NEW-OrmEirrs, Ray 9.-The Times this evening publishes an extra containlitg . ranchero letter from San Luia Potosi, 'stn-' ling that at sit.' o'Clock on the morning of the 19th the troops of Eseobedo forted -.a abort distance from the city for the. execu tion of Maximilian and his Generals, , the people of Queretaro flocking by thousands to Bee the closing scenes in the life alba men they loved. As the clock strikes 7, the bells toll and announce that the pris oners have left" their prisoners for the last time, and are on their way to their execu tion. After a few moments they appear, drawn in carriages and a large guard around them, the Emperor first, Miramon next, and Mejia last. As they near the place of execn tion.,,convulsive throbs break from the crowd. The carriages stop,and the prisoners get out. Among the conclave you can hardly see a dry eye. Tokens of dissatisfaction are manifested. Maximilian, on alighting, is saluted by the peOple. In an easy and graceful manner, and with an elastic step, he marched .o the fatal spot. The prisoners were dressed in a plain manner. They were not bound nor blindfolded. In taking his position the Emperor spoke in a clear and firm manner, and with nothing of bravado. He seemed to feel his situation, and said when he was first waited upon at home by the deputation from Mexico who came with credentials offering him the Oiovernment of the country, he refused. At a subsequent meeting, the roposition was again presented, and he replied that if convinced that the majority thought that it was to their interest to place him at the head of the government, he might consent. Attother deputation waited on him and brought additional testimonials. Upon advice from the powers of Europe who advised him that there was no other course to pursue, he accepted the call. He denied that the court that tried him had a right to do so. His was a case of good faith. The nations of the world had pledged their faith to him. He never would have done the act had it not been for the good of Mexico. In conclusion, he hoped his blood would stop the effusion of blood in the country. Miramon spoke from a paper. The only regret he felt in dying was that, should the Liberal party retain the Government, his children would be pointed out as the child ren of a traitor. He told them that he was no traitor, but had always opposed liberal principles, and always been against the dis order of the country. He should die, as he lived, a conservative, satisfied to die for his country. The fame oi his acts would live, and posterity wou'd judge whether he was right or wrong. He closed with the words " viva la Emperor! viva la Mexico!" Mejia made no address ; he went to Es cobedo, and said he would die poor, that he had never made an effort to make money. 11 is only wealth consisted in 40 cattle in the mountains. He asked that the merchants of 'Matamoros, to whom he owed consider able, would not press his wife to pay his debts, when they came into possession of the money left them by the kindness of the Emperor. After Miramon ceased speaking, the guard was drawn up. The prisoners were standing fuel ifg them. The Emperor called the sergeant, end drawing from his pocket a handful of twenty dollar pieces, he gave them to him, and requested that after his death he would divide them with his com pany, asking as a favor that he would aim his bullet at his heart. The officers gave the signal, the volley was fired, and the prisoners lay stretched on the ground. The Emperor was not quite dead. There was con siderable quivering of the muscles. Five bulls had entered his breast. Two soldiers were then called out, who shot him in the side. Miramou and Mejia were killed by the first volley. Each of the four balls en tered in the breast. A sheet was thrown over the Emperor by the doctor, who was to embalm his body. The bodies were then taken by their respective friends, and the troops moved back to their quarters, while thousands remained, kept by a supernatural agency. Trouble With the Old Style The only place in the United States where the Fourth of July did not fall on the fourth, was in that land of the Muscovite called Walrussia. There, while we were burning gunpowder in honor of the natal day," our fellow-citizens were keeping quiet and cool under the impression that it was the 22. d of June. The trouble is caused by the fact. that Russia still uses the "old" or Julian calcnilar, while we, in common with every other civilized nation, use the Gregorian. Thedillerence is this:—That fineold Roman, Julius Caesar, endeavored to dispose of the odd hours which accumulated over the 305 days every year, by making a leap year of 351 days come invariaoly every for years. But this used up more than the surplus, and in consequence, the world lost ten days in about thirteen hundred years. To remedy this, Pope Gregory provided that every cen tral year that could not be divided by four (as 1600, 1900, 2100, &c.,) should not be a leap year, thus dropping the extra day three times in'every four hundred years, and pre venting an absorption of more than the exact number of surplus days that accumu lated. The Greek Church refused to accept this plan because it originated with the Pope or Rome, and its believers consequently began to get behindhand in their calcula tions; so lust, in fact, that if the world lasts a couple of thousand years longer, they will have all their warm weather during the winter mouths. Of course, we shall alter this ridiculous state of things when we get possession of Walrussia, but it will be likely to cause considerable complaint from the inhabitants, who, unless they are good mathematicians, will thus have a slice knocked out of their lives, and will be un able to tell the age of themselves, their children, or the length of time that has elapsed between given periods under the old and new styles.—Sunday Transcript. Booth's Letter A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing front Washington, accounts for the non-reception of the communication ad dressed to the National Intelligeneer by Booth, which excited such general comment at the time of the assassination trial. It seems that the paper was given by him to a lellow-actor of the name of Mathews, with a request that he should deliver it. Mathews, however, after the assassination, apprehensive of the personal consequences, broke it open, read, and destroyed it. He has testified before the judiciary committee that it was signed by Booth, Payne, Atze rodt and Harold, and announced that, hav ing failed iu their purpose to abduct the President, as the author of their country's woes, they determined to sacrifice their lives in order to take his.
