OUR CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The world moves, and street improvements
have been fairly inauguratcd in Washington
Under the anomalous government of this

now that the good era has commenced there
will be no retrograde movement. The man,

Thurlow Weed and the Secretary OF


The following is the more important por-
tion of Mr.. WsED's letter, in reply to MoSr-
GOMERY BLAIR, referred to in our dispatch
from New York yesterday:
The truth is. that the first and paramount
design of the secession leaders was to obtain
before or on the 4th of March, by coup d'etat,
possession Of the capital with the sanction of
the government. That DESIGN WAS THwARy-
ED ny Mr.. STANTON. As member of Mr..
Buchanan's cabinet, he became informed of
the reasonable objects of his colleagues,
Cobb, Thompson, and Toueey, and Of the i'm
becility, at least, of the President. Placing
himself in confidential communication with
Mr.. Seward Mr.. Stanton went to his watch
aud his work boldly and sagaciously. Trai-
tors were by degrees weeded out Of the Cab
met, and their vacant seats given to General
Dix and Judge Holt, who co-operated with
Mr. Stanton and Mr.. Seward, in preserving
the government.
Inc 18th of March approached, amid trea-
sons and cOnspiracies in the highest classes
Washington was without doubt dislOyal A
conspiracy to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln at Bal
timore, was discovered and thwarted. On
the occasion of the Inauguration Gen. Scott
had scarcely more than 2, 900 troops for the
uelenCo Oh tue Cupltul. Inc uhnBer was I'M
minent. But the chief traitors had been
elected from the Cabinet Their plans were
disconnected. Mr.. Lincoln tcaJinaugurated,
and the Government prevailed! For that
Governments salvation the people and the
Union are indebted to the Roman virtues of
Edwin NJ. Stanton.
1t was, no doubt, owing to the coalition
then formed between Seward and Stanton"
that the latter was called into Mr.. Lincolns
Cabinet. Such ordeals "try mems souls"
The life of nation was in the issue. 1t was
saved us "a brand from the burning The
struggle bound Messrs. Stanton and Seward
together with hooks of STEEL
During the FIVE or six weeks that Mr.. Stanton
was striving to preserve the capital, though
in constant communication through n trusty
third party, Messrs. Stanton and Seward
never met. When the danger was over and
the day of rejoicing came, Mr.. Stanton supped
with Mr.. Seward. l was present, meet
ing Mr.. Stanton then for the first time.
Confidence had been established between
these eminent men while engaged as counsel
many years ago. in an important and pro-
tracted trial, in Michigan, believe. But it
was then and there that learned how large
a debt of gratitude We owed to Edwin NJ.

Condition OF Freedmen In Virginia

The agent of the American Bible Society
for Virginia has addressed Governor PIER
PoNT as follows:
DEAR SIR: Having been requested by you
to make inquiries respecting the conduct and
prospects Of the freedmen in localities might
have occasion to visit in this State, and hav-
ing since been at Petersburg, Farmville,
Lynchburg, and Liberty, l beg leave to pre-
sent the following summary statement of the
result Of my inquiries, promising only that
these inquiries were addressed to responsible
men-tO Christian ministers or laymen of in
Huence in the community.
|. In respect to the comparative number
of women and children could get no definite
and reliable estimates 1t was uniformly
said that the proportion of ablc.bodied men
was small.
2. Where there are men able to labor it
was the general testimony that n goOdly
number Of them are industrious and doing
well for themselves and families. Some seem
to feel that they have no responsibility to
care for their households, and make no at
tempt but to provide for their personal wants.
Others are reported as indocnt, or, II dis.
posed to work, unable to secure employment
and living, to some extent, on whnt does not
belong to them.
3. The general testimony in each place
above named, was that numbers must perish
from want during the coming winter unless
relieved by charitable aid. Opinions were
quite varied in respect to the number who
must be assisted or suffer some placing it us
high as one-half, others at very small frac-
ton.
have made the above brief report because,
during my short stay in the city, have not
time to secure an interview with you, and
am obliged to go North before proceeding
with my work here. On my return / will
endeavor to see you and to continue my e.
forts in this direction, If they should prove Of
any service.
With high appreciation of your kindness,
and sincere desire for the success of your
unwearied efforts for the good Of this Com.
