MEMBERS VISITING THE PRESIDENT.
Up to two o'clock Wednesday, the
President was engaged in receiving calls
from members of Congress, most OF whom
waited the White House on official bust
ness andto consult the President on meas
ures proposed to be introduced during the
approaching session. Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens. Hon. Horace Maynard, Gems. Gar
field and Hancock, and Senators Trumbull
and Doolittie we're among those who gain
ed an audience.
THE TENNESSEE DELEGATION.
Horace Maynard will claim that the adj
mission Of Senators and Representatives
from Tennessee does. not depend on the
same grounds with those from other rebel
States. He will hold that the Congress
| sional relations of Tennessee to the Union
were never suspended; that his section of
| the State meyer voted for secession; that
to treat it as tainted-by the action of
Middle or West Tennessee would be to re-
~coquize the baieful influence of State SOW
ereignty, and chat the Supreme Court has
continued to treat Tennessee like any loyal
/ State {. by holding sessions in regular cir
cult at Nashville. The Tennesseeans are
not likely to make common cause with the
members from the other rebel States, and
do not seem to care for the admission of
many of them.
CoNSrpv kTrvrS wITu THE PREsIDEST
There were interviews, on Wednesday,
| between two conservative Republican
! Senators and the President. They ex-
pressed to him their views in regard to
the national affairs pretty freely. They
assured him that they were with him IN
his policy of reconstruction that while
the South may not have done all that was
expected, on the whole question she has
done remarkably we'll. The President
said he was glad to have their co-opera-
ton, for he believed that what he had
done was for the best, and would prove SO
in the end During a portion OF these IN,
terviews to-day, Secretaries Seward and
Stanton were present.
SENATOR DoLITTLE AND THADDEUs STE
T.. ruIsruU VEINS
As Senator Doolittle passed Thad. Ste
vens in the anti-room of the White House
two davs ago. he asked, "How are the
lpeople of Pennsylvania ~ Opposed to
you, sir; opposed to you,' replied Stevens
as he passed on.
$3.50 r GEN.G GRANT AS A BOY
The venerable father of Gen. Grant is
the recipient of marked and respectful at
tention here. On being questioned as &c
the early characteristics Of his son, he re-
piled, "Never saw him show his grit
when a boy, but once, and that was trying
to break q vicious colt. 1t was a tough
fight, but the colt had to surrender"
THE ARIZONA DELEGATE.
Mr.. Charles d, Poston, who last Con.
gress represented Arizona, is here, dis.
~tributing among Congressman ar addres:
to the people of the Territory, in which he
states that a %perfdious plot was Matched
by Governor Goodwin to defeat him anC
elect himself, at the very time he (Colone
Poston) was hard at work in Washington
soliciting more troops for the Territory
and getting mail service restored to it,
southern section. Colonel Poston says i
remains to be seen whether under the cir
eumstances stated the Governor of a dis
tant Territory can cross the Congressiona
threshold with a certificate signed by hi
own name, founded npon fraudulent votes
and registered by his own judges anC
clerks, and counted by himself.
SOME OF H INNER HISTORY OF H RE
PUBLICAN CAUCUS
In the caucus on Saturday night the
Pennsylvania and New York members
made an effort to have all the old officer
r~enominated. This was thwarted by the
Ohio delegation, who insisted on the nom
nation Of Colonel Given as Postmaster
The Northwestern members had agreed
to move a reconsideration of all the nom
nations except Colfax, for the purpose o
putting in soldiers for the old offices. Mr.
Eggleston, of Ohio, had very nearly &C
complished this, when some of the ole
members, who saw a storm brewing
moved an adjournment, which was car
ried. If the caucus had lasted half al
hour longer, t~he;entire list of officers nom
mated would have been changed. Haw
kins TAYLOR, the defeated candidate TO
DOorkeeper, is moving a new caucus to
morrow on his own interests, under tn
plea that a Chaplain was not nominated
He will not succeed.

sion about the city and surrounding coun
try and all expressed themselves pleased

LOUISIANA CoNGREssMEN.

sent. the Second Congressional District o
Louisiana, arrived here to-day. A yer,

for being admitted were hopeless, and h
