EThe New Lady OF the White House.
Has very quietly taken possession of
her new quarters, and as there have
been no receptions yet, and will not be
until Congress meets in December, the
public are not familiar with her style or
appearance, and we do not yet hear
many criticisms or much gossip. She
need not hope to escape these things,
however, as the position is too promi-
nentfor seclusion.i Mrs. johnson, when
the President was Governor of Tennes-
see, before the war, never came to Nash
vile at all during her husbands term
of Office, but resided in the small coun-
try town of GTeenville; preferring its
quiet and seclusi0Tf to the gayeties OF
the capital. None of the Presidents
family, I believe, lived in Nashville
during his first term of Office. Mrs.
Johnson, from all accounts, is lady
very much like tho late Mrs. Henry
Clay, caring nothing for city life or gay
society, but finding peace and content
in the. calm unobtrusive pleasures OF
the domestic life of her own family cir
Gle. Mrs. Patterson, the Presidents
daughter, the wife of the new Senator
from Tennessee, Judge Patterson, will,
Iit-is said, do the honors of the White
House. She seems Indy every way
capable of appearing to advantage in
that high and difticulBt sphere of lffe.-

THE OPINION PREsDENr.-The following dis
patch from the presdentn relation to the actions of the
North and South Carolina conventions don't look much
like harmonsing:
The following is copy of the telegram addressed to
his cxceIlency, B. F. Perry, provisional governor of
South Carolina.
He observes with regret that neither the convention
nor the State legislature has pronounced debts and OBJ
legations contracted in the of the State uncon.
stitutonal and even rebellous purposes to be Void
He equally regrets that the State means to decline the
congressional amendment to the constitution of the
United States abolshing slavery / telegraphed to YOU
yesterday follow: The president directs me to write
you that early adoption of the congressional amend
ment of the constitution of the United States aboshpo
slavery by the South Carolina legislature deemed Pc
cuary important, and especially desirable with refer
to the general situation of the Union have now
only to say, the presidents opinion before expressed
remains unchanged. W. H. SEWARD.
We find the following in Mobile papers of the 10TH
wAn1xGToN, Nov. 10-Today the members of the North
Carolina State convention waited the president and
Mr. Reed behalf of the convention presented certain
of the proceedings to the president The latter said:
Hon. Mr.. Reed receive from you, with pleasure
copy of the proceedings OF the convention of North
Carolina. recprocate cordially the conciliatory spirit
in which you have addressed me. The convention of
North Carolina has done much towards restoring that
State to her proper material relations but something
remains to be done to render that restoration inme-
diaely practicable. An acceptance of the
amendment abolishing slavery throughout the United
States by the legislature of the State of North Carolina
is in my judgment, practically important to the success
full restoration which is so much desired by all.
Without answering specifically the questions have
proposed to me- 1t will be sufficient to that my ac
ton must depend on events and that Mr. Holden will
be again instructed to continue the exercise of his
functions provisional governor until he shall have
been expressly relieved by order to that effect.

THE TEST 0ATH-An exchange says that Gov. Perry,
IN his late message to the legislature of South Carolina
says that the members Of congress elected from that

that It Is not the policy of the president to force the
test oath" Hitherto Gov. Perry's views have been
verified by subsequent events; and think it likely
that this subject will not prove an execution.
