moved Secretary Stanton, and in answer to

Malinger BUTLER argued'against admit
ting the testimony, and reiterated his views
regarding the duties of members of the Cabi
net.. -They could only give opinions in , writ- .
ing about matters connectedwith their own
Departments. He also said theevidence
- witness: showed that the President had
acted in this instance without consultation
with his Cabinet, and held that the point at

Rim:mown, April 17.—General Schofield
visited and addressed the, Convention this
-.morning, end said - the iron clad oath' of'
'office . -In the Constituticin was extremely
objectionable Fro: had administered the
Retonstructiern laws in the State for more
than a year, and stated as a result of his
experience that it would be practically im
possible .to. gang on 'the Government of
Virginia on such a basis. In appointing
registering officers ho had found ono, per
haps two, persons in a county who could
take this oath, and yet there were thirty civil
officers in those countim In his opinion
the oath would be fatal to the Constitution.
In other f respects the Constitution _was
:rather better thim.those of other StateS, but
much depended on the men fiat-elected to
carry it. out, and that the oath restricted
the range necessary for the selection of the
best men. As -a party measure, it would
be fatal. .
Applause.followed the address, and after .
General Schofield left a heated debate com
menced in the effort to reconsider the vote
adoptink the oath.
- Alcamo:iv, •April 17.—The Convention
to-night at 11 o'clock adopted the Constitn
tion by a vote of 51 to 26. Three Republi

vention is still in session.
In the Convention to.day Mr. Hine• ex
plained that tinder the new Constitution
there were only seven officers in a county
who have to take the oath. The Conven
tion refused by a vote of twenty-six to thir
ty-two to suspend the rules to consider the
modification of the oath. The Convention
will adjourn nine die about midnight.

TIM London Times, from the best infor
ination it can obtain, estimates the strength
of the army of the Abyssinian King at
12,000 men, well equipped with small arms'
and artillery.' It thinks the 5,000 British
troops can make short work of the enemy,
and quotes from Napier to prove that a
lame barbarian army may be more easily
beaten than a small one, because too cum
brous to be, advantageously manoeuvred. :
The invading force at last accounts was en
camped eight thousand feet above the level
of the sea, at a point where water is plenty,
but forage terribly scarce. The Times,
however, is confident that by this time a de
cisive battle has been fought, provided The
odorus had•not sought safety in precipitate
flight.
