prosecute the whole gang. He made them
sweat immensely, and to his last days he
told with giee the story of his sweet re-
veuge"
Our informant said he had an interview
with Mr.. Jennings, a year or two since,
when the subject of the final disposition
OF his wealth came up. He had never
made his will, he said, but he often WON
dered what he should do with his proper
ty. His q ests administered truth 20 him
IN rough, electric shocks, telling him that
every one hated him, even his own rela-
tiyes, who longed to see the day of his
death, when they would seize on his eff
fects
Alter his death his memory would rot.
He advised him to make such disposition
OF his riches as to ensure him fame and
. Immortality" and cited the example Of
Girard. He seems to have urged the case
with elOquence, fer Mr.. Jennings was
much taken with the idea Of building him.

recurred to the subject, as if the ashes
had been suddenly blown off from the
embers of his smculdering imagination,
revealing that he had yet little warmth
of human sympathy and benevolence.-
But the old nature of wrapping Of habit
was never sloughed the glow Of mingled
ambition and charity died out, and the

know what the other is doins, or what

1t seems to me this could be corrected
by regarding every officer or duty with
troops in the Southern States as an aren't
OF the freedmen's Bureau, and then have
all orders from the head of the bureau
sent through the department commanders.
This would create responsibility that
would make uniformity Of action through

WASHINGTON, Sept 4.
The President has made the following ap-
pointments E. M. Dunn, Postmaster at Plain
held n. j.; Cyrus Staymate, Postmaster at
Tuscrunbia, Ala; Charles Sever Postmaster
at Flushing, N. T.; Marshall b. Culpepper,
Collector Of Customs at Camden. S. c.; Willis
Drummond, District Tax Commissioner for
the District of S. c.. aFF eTtF4 s y
1t is not believed here, as stated in English
journals, that the President has invited John
Bright to visit the United States as the guest
of the nation, and certainly the Navy Depart
ment has no knowledge that the Colorado or
any other vessel has been designated to bring
him to this country. The Colorado, only two
or three months ago, was placed on the Euro
pean squadron, and it is not at all probable she
will soon return here. ss..
The President recently pardoned eight an
plicants of the $4,000 class residing in Rich
mond, being the remainder of list of about
thirty, the majority Of whom received execu-
tive clemency about two months ago.
AS post Offices continue to be opened in the
South, the post-masters who were in posses
sion OF them when the rebellion commenced,
have drafts or notices served upon them for
the settlement of arrearages. Some few have
llquldated their indebtedness, while Others
express their Willingness to pay as soon as
they can obtain the means for that purpose
There were at the Executive Mansion to-
day, at one o'clock, fifty or sixty persons
waiting for an audience with the President
At least two-thirds of them we ;e Southerners,
who came to apply for pardon, and among
them, for the fourth time, was ex-Gov. Brown

Intelligence from Texas is to the effect that
there will be no troubles whatever in that
State mithe work of restoration. Information
from other Southern States is alike favorable
The Provisional Governors are represented
as doing all in their power to conform TO the
views Of the President on that important sub
inot
