They will again be heard to-morrow. A memorial, in possession of the delegates, states that the changes in the law which the brewer interest of the country require, they claim that the deduction of 7 per cent, upon the sale of stamps should be increased to 15 per cent, They earnestly urge a reduction of the duty on Canada barley to the same figure as before the expiration of the reciprocity , treaty, namely, 5 cents per bushel. The Herxld's Washington dispatch states that there is every reason to believe that the Rev. John McMahon, who is now lying in prison for the part he took in the invasion of Canada, will be very soon liberated. Certain influence here has been at ' work, which can hardly fail to secure that object. CINCINNATI.' Railroad Consolidation Lamps Dls carded for Cars. Cincinnati, January 31.

Motion to Dismiss Mc Ardle A ran-t-i. raent In the Case. -' ' ZZI W ASHlNGTON Jan. 31. In .the Su-J premeY Court . . to-day . Hon.;. Jamev Hughes, on the part of . the United J Mates, move 1 to dismiss the.iVlcArdle . ffijQir jriot x)f,juiwflictioou will be recollected that' the Court has set apart'thef lsf ' Moh'day"in March next to hear argument why the case was advanced onj the? docket. ? Hughes said the petition of McArdle appealing from the decision of the Court is founded on the - assumption that the Reconstruction Laws are unconstitutioBal,jiMjArd!e wa& held under these three several acts. The peti ' tioner says he is not charged with any military offense, but vwhen he. comes to1 explain the reasons for' his arrest says be 'Was charged with opposing the Reconstruction, Acts p Congress. "Hughes the n quoted the Articles which the petitioner had published in his paper, the Vicksbur Times showing his ; violence of language against the military authorities, and the strong, condemnation of the reconstruction acts. .The whole .' tenor and tone of the ! reeoBstracfton' act of J Jlarch,' 1867 contains; no Saving clause and gives no jurisdiction to any court of the United. States to interfere with the habeas corpus neti.1 'The' act rather excludes the idea that it was to' be .a- foot-ball- between .the courts of "the' United c States . and the, niilitarjf -.power ,of tbe United Statesi between" Circuit Courts andMajor- ' Generals, and between; .Congress and the" Supreme Court. The military power, of the Government, the warr making power, is reserved to Congress alone by the Constitution.- Having waged a war fer - fonr-years,--!! n d the Supreme Court havkjg recognized it asa solemn war.'the United States, as here represented say. that the action in question doe'not' recognize ' the" right of the Judiciary to 'interfere with the political power now exeri ctteea- iq 'tne, late seceded otates does 5' Boi.'.' Recognize it Jfs hav ing- power "to interfere in the in terval Irom. the jclosa .ot .-the ;war until nowj wh1? work- ajt jecon struo4 tion is in progress. V i l ' ! Hughes,' in support of his argument, referred: the Court; to various legal authorities.) vj.xi j -jljlop Jeremiah Black expressed hissurprise that the motion, had .been, made to dismiss this'-ase.; ' The Court had already af'-W 'i'pief to hear the argument of theHbjo?ti on a former occasion, Th.(counsel fort the; , V Dated , Stages were opposed to the p'pnB.idei'atio.n.bf .the "case at all"; but ubW tley gb half-cocked. The edi"torial articles -which 'had baea j rvad were calculate'qto make ha frienrfs of J tjren. Urd teei undigpaptj but ?hi3 private oinion was that epithets ag.iinst that'tofficfee 'are .'no deserved If it1 be tniei as asserted by" the other side, thatueithet this Court or the Circuit Court.of Mississippi has any iurisdic-tiorrVei-this subject, then the American people are in the precise condittO"trthatthe French ' peop!6" trere in during the Monarchy, when .any man could be put in prison and kept f thereUStf 1" lfe 'died " or was; fbgotten. Mr. Black said the very lawfrom Iwhicb. 3Ir; Hughes .had, qaoted;pex pTessljsals that the several Courts of the United States,1 and the Judges, of these courts, shall have power to determine exactly such, cases as this one, and further authorizes them to issue writs of- habeas corpus withiafl their respective districts, in cases of persons who shall complain of being detained' or held in person contrary to the Constitution and laws of the United States. Where there is(uo exception a case falls within the gen-, eral rule. The publishing of editorial articles was not a military offense, and could not be made one by simply so calling it. As a case commenced in. a Circuit Court, it should be settled in this Supreme Court. Where doubts exist about the meaning of a law, it is the universal practice to give them to complainant, for his benefit, in order that J.his. mischief might be repaired as far as possible. Black, in conclusion, condemned the law, which, he declared, struck down ten independent States. The Court here adjourned. Washington, Jan. 31. The House Military Committee this morning defcided to report & bill authorizing the Secretary ot War to establish a U nited States arsenal at Fort David Russel, Dakota, near Cheyenne City, at a cost not exceeding $50,000.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. Washington, January 31. Si" SENATE The Chair laid z the. Senate, several communications,, incfudinga joint resolution of the Ohio Legislature, irescinding the Constitutional. Amendment. . f ,, Sherman denied that it was a just

xjWession of the people of Ohio, t ' ' bumrier claimed it was of no effect; that the State could not withdraw its approval onco given -j ,. ' ; Sherman called tor the reading of the resolutions. He could not allow these resolutions to be entered in the journal without makiDg some remarks. -That theytlid not speak the voice of the people ot Ohio, it was his; elear coBviction. :' The people of Ohio, in : the canvass t loOb, had ratified -that Amendment by a rote of - 40,000, andA ; they had never rescinded that assent.-1 : These resolutions , , were . j the .voice of of. a partizan majority of a Legislature' representing a minority 6f the people,, and whoiwere' elected On5 issues entirely different. ..He iwas-satisfied the people of Ohio, to:day, would .vote. in favor of. the Constitutional .A.mend men t y .100,000 majority. : ', fall the' People, never dreamed that, the Legislature' would take such' action.. i hat , issue thev considered settled. When , the Legislature- of . Ohio -had submitted t the people the universaj; Suffrage' Amendment they had unwisely coupled with ' it ,ja'' proviso disfranchisiug,, deserter,, which was thought a3 contended by their opponents, would include miny patriotic feelings that caused the lefeat' Of the proposition to incorporate universal suffrage in tbe organic law. He be-1 lieyed, although he would not say positively, that the people of Ohio would declare in favor of the general principles of the reconstruction bill.' 'He was satisfied , .that nex Fall. lithe" people of Ohio would reverse the decision;-and' universal 'suffrage wouldbe insertedk in ,:th'e' CoOstitirtion. ' In addition, to . all-this, -the manner of opposing these resolutions was. most extraorainary, as tney naa peen rusnea through without any debate. ' ' - Sumner'sard the action of' the Legislature was .most unprecedented.: A State having once given its assent to' the amendment to , the Constitution, ! had no power to withdraw it, and ths resolutions of this Legislature' were a. ; mere brutem fuhti-n.- ; .; j ' q . i 'i Johnson arguaq thje. opposite. ide. The matter was then referred to the JtidiciaryCommittefei1" ' 1 The bUl sdpplnientary to the Ten-, are of Office Bill was tvken up.

' ' h t ... , Patterson moved an- -amciBdHien that such agents, shall not .exceed five in uumber. ' . ' ! Sumnef,; Anthony, Grimes, Conness and' Cameron, opposed such restrictions on the part of Congress . At the ;, expiration of the morning hour.the bill was laid aside and an adjournment till Monday 'was provided for. 1 ' : "'''' . Johnson gave notice that he would rn Monday press' a vote on the case of Senator Thomas. . . , r The Supplementary Reconstruction Bill was taken up. ; ;. ' Howe spoke initsfavor. Howe, in conclusion, after having reviewed Doolittle's speech at length, said all on theN other side of the chamber had closed their harangues wif h terTible threats and prophecies of disaster to the Republican party in . the coming Autumn. He did not fear them, but were it so, the con test should not then be ended. ; He said no man could conscientiously go into his closet arid pray to his Creator for other objects in this stugula than those ior which the Hepublican party will vote, and closed by euiogising its efforts hitherto charging the Democratic party with entire responsibility for the war,1 and by predicting success and triumph, and , a vindication of the Congressional policy. Ferry obtained the floor on the bill, but . ' On motion of Harlan, the further consideration was postponed till Mbn day. The Senate took up the bill to provide for the formation ot corporations and regulating the same in the District of Columbia. Discussed by Johnson, Harlan, Willey and Conkling. the latter condemning it as granting unprecedented license. The bill was amended so as to require the principal officers of corporations to be kept in the District of Columbia, and by making private property of stockholders in certain cases liable to the amount of the par value of their stock. After further verbal amendment, the bill was passed to a third reading, and Buckalew called for the j eas and nays. On its final passage there beisg not more than twenty Senators present, the bill was postponed. ; Sumner tried to call up the bill to regulate the selection of officers in the District of Columbia, but on motion of Hendricks, the Senate adjourned o Monday.
