WAsH1SsfoN, July i4.-The Senate was engaged

The President has accepted Dennison's resigna-
nation The latter says in his letter Of the llth'
rendering his resignation
ssIn thus Withdrawing from your Cabinet 1t IS
proper to say, that do SO chiefly because OF the
difference of opinion between us in regard to the
proposed amendment of the Constitution, which
approve, and the movement Of the Philadelphia
Convention, to which I am opposed. My conf
dence in the patriotism of the Union Republican
party and conviction that upon its permanent con-
troll Of the Government depends, in large meas
ure, the peace and happiness of the country, will
not permit of my holding any equivocal attitude
in respect to it. Assuring you of my personal re-
gard and appreciation of the uniform courtesy I
have received from you, am, respectfully, yours,
Sc, W. DENNIsoN.
!. To this, the President briefly responds, accept
ing the resignation, and says he fully appreciates
the kind assurance Of personal regard

WASHINGTON, July l6.-The President has re-
turned the Freedmans Bureau Bill to the House
of Representatives without his signature. He
says the legislation it proposes is not consistent
with the welfare of the country, and that it falls
clearly within the reasons assigned in his veto
message of similar measure in February. He
refers to- that document for his objections, and says
the Act now in force will extend some months be-
yond the meeting of the next Congress; and if
additional legislation be required, Congress Gun
then mature bill He opposes it as class iegisla-
tion and unwise, as setting up military tribunals
which are liable to come in conflict with the civil
law and unnecessary. as the laws Of each State
protect the person and property alike of white and
black He also objects TO it on the score OF econo-
NV. The acts of violence which Is made prete1t
for the bi he contends is confined to no State or
section, but are common throughout the country
and in consequence of the agitation and derange-
ment incident to long and bloody war. While
such occurrences are to be deplored, they furnish
no reason for continuance Of the Bureau beyond
the time fixed in the original Act. The conduct
Of the agents is likewise noted, as leading to fraud
corruption and oppression. he further urges, as
another reason against the necessity of the egisa-
tion contemplated by this measure, that reference
may be had to the civil rights BILL now law Of
the land which will be faithfully executed as long
IS it shall remain unrepealed, and may not be de-
clared unconstitutional by the courts of competent
jurisdiction. It's provisions, he declares, furnish
protection to oil persons, without discrimination,
and although II did not receive his approval he
considers its remedies far preferable to those pre-
sented in the present bill The provision relating
10 the confirmation Of certain sales of sea islands
Is considered unwise partial and unconstitutional
In conclusion he again urges upon Congress the
danger Of class legislation, as tending to keep the
public mind in q state of uncertain expectation,
disouiet and resslessness, and furnishing false
hopes to classes of persons Of support and main
tenance, regardless of whether they pursue life
of independence or labor, and regardless OF con-
stitutional limitation.
WAsH1Neroy, July 16.-Letters from Mr.. Sc
ward and Attorney General Speed relative to the
Philadelphia Convention have been published.
The former strongly sustains it, and expresses the
belief that no party, as now organized, can re-
store the Union. Speed opposes the Convention,
and places his trust in the Republican party.
The Freedmen's Bureau bill was put on its pas
sage in the House Immediately after the reading
of the Presidents veto message, and passed by the
requisite Eote-yeas 10s, nays SS. 1t was at once
sont to the Senate and that body also passed it by
stwo~thirds vote-yeas 80, nays II. The bill Is
therefore law.

luton, calling on the President for copies OF the
