.Fhe Loyal E,eagucrs and the Press
& dent ~


Washington, Jan lat the annual meet
ing Of the National Union League, last night,
q resolution was passed and a Committee ap-
pointed 10 wait dt the President to present
their protest againat the retention Of disloyal
persons in Government Offices. 1t was alleg-
ed that the various Departments in Washing
ton are stillfull' of them; that half the people
Of the New York Custom House, Treasury
Department, Postotiice and Navy yards, arc
either disguised Coppcrheads or open enemies
Of the Administration. The League insist
that none but true and able Union men and
supporters of the Government should be held
in Offices of trust at the hand of the Presi-
dent, in his cabinet chiefs or subordinatcs.
The interview between the President and the
committee lasted two hours, but the discus
sion was conducted in an amicable tone. The
President heard the general issue, and iusti.
fed it He claimed that he has turned out
persons, as had many of his predecessors;
that where opponents of the Administration
had been appointed or had been retained in
office, it was at the instance and on the re-
quest of Republican members of Congress;
that in his military appointments he had laid
down rule at the beginning Of the war, TO
make no discrimination on account of politics
and would continue to adhere to it.-Gncin-

Ny ESTEEMED FRIEND: I have not forgot
ten, probably never shall forget the very i'm
pressive occasion when yourself and friends
visited me on Sabbath forenoon, two years
ago. Nor had your kind letter, written nearly
year later, ever been forgotten. In oil it
has been your purpose to strengthen my reli-
ance in God, lam much indebted to the good
Christian people Of the country tof their con
stant prayers and consultations, and to ND One
Of them more than to yourself The PURPOSES
Of the Almighty are perfect and must prevail,
though we erring mortals may fail to accu-
ratey perceive them in advance.
We hoped for happy termination Of this
terrible war, long before this; but God knows
best, and has ruled otherwise, We shall yet
acknowledge his wisdom and our own errors
therein; meanwhile we must work earnestly in
the best Lights He gives us, trusting that so
working stlll conddces to the great ends He
oriains. Surely he intends some great good
to follow this mighty convulsion which no
mortal could make and no mortal could stay.
Your people-.the Friends-have had, and
are having very great trials, on principles and
faith opposed to both war and oppression: :
They can only practically oppose oppression
by war. In this hard dilemma some have
chosen one horn and some another.
For those appealing to me on conscientious
grounds. have done and shall do the best
could and can, in my own conscience under
my oath to the law That you believe this,
doubt not and believing it, | shall still receive
for our country and myself your earnest pray
nrs to our Father in Heaven. Your sincere
friend, a. LINCOLN.

WEST VIRGINIA RECOGNIZED by THE SUPREME
COURT.
WAsmSeroN, January 7.--Ithas happened
that the very first decision made by Chief
Justice Chase, was on II grave disputed con-
stitutional question; and curiously enough il
seems to have entirely escaped the attention
of the press u. t,a as.
twill be remembered that, some time ago,
Associate Justice Catron, of the Supreme
Bench, interrupted the hearing Of canse in
District Court in Tennessee, when the coun.
sci happened to use the word "West Virginia. y
BY exclaiming, Virginia, sir, if you please.
There is no such State as West Virginia.
Subsequently, believe, some questions hav-
ing been asked, Justice Catron re-,tlimed,
more deliberately, the opinion that the effort
to divide the State of Virginia was unconstt
tutional and that no such State as West Vir,
ginia had any constitutional existence, of
could be recognized by the Court Mean.
while the question had not beenraised before
the full Bench E[a .s.'.....
Mr.. Chasc's first official act MS Chief Jus.
tice was to hold consultation with his Associ.
atcs about the call of States on the docket.
The Clerk was arranging the list, and Mr..
Chase directed him to insert West Virginia
in its proper place With the. e.exception Of
Mr.. Catron all the Justices were present, and
all concuned in the action. One question
therefore, upon which Mr. Thad Stevens and
others have been accustomed to hold high de-
bate in Congress, without ever having been
formally raised, may still be considered as
henceforth practically res adjudicata.
Judge Catron, by the way, is not here yet,
and his health is so feeble and his age so ad.
vanccd that there is little probability that he
will ever. again take his place upon the
Bench. Before Very long Horace Maynard
and other loyal Tennessee lawyers may be
having warm canvass for the successorship.

States to Savannah repeal by Congress
