GENERAL OSBORNE Still. ALIVE.
A letter has been received here from Gene.
raj Osborne, who. IT WILDE remembered, was
recently reported TO have been murdered near

sity for stationing Federal troops there.
SESSION OF THE CABINET on THE FREgDxEy's
BILL.
On Thursday telegraphed you that there
was little doubt that the President would
return the Freedmen's Bureau bill with his
objections thereto. The next day the subject
was brought mp before a full meeting of the
Cabinet, when Mr.. johnson, Ii Is said, did not
hesitate, in his usual calm and decisive manner,
10 assert that he should " return the bill. -
Several of the Cabinet endorsed his position,
but majority of the members, 1t is asserted,
opposed it, urging that the bin be signed as 1T
stood. But the President was immovable, and
the meeting, which lasted the best part OF tine
day, broke up with a distinct understanding
from the chief Of the csuncil board that he
should veto the bill.
The objections of the President are said to be
wholly constitutional, and they will undoubt-
edI ~ n
Congress tending to work inJuriously upon the
South, and in the passage of which the South :
ern States have been refused the representation
to which the President has officially declared
they were entitled. Washington Correspondence

yIRGIHIA-JUDGE UNDERwooD's CASE.
The resolutions introduced into the Virginia
Legislature on Friday, to Dust Judge Under
wood from his position as United States Sena-
tor elect on account of his action at the Alex
andria Convention, which passed resolutions
praying for Provisional Governor for the
State, have created no little excitement in this
city. The manifest disposition is to rid Nir-
ginia of every obligation imposed by the Alex
andra Legislature, through whose authority
the State is now existing rs an organized body,
and though the question of the validity of the
election of Messrs. Segar and Underwood was
once before brought mp during the present
legislative session, referred TO the Judiciary
Committee, and by them reported as matter
inS&pedient TO legislate upon, it is now, how
ever, again introduced upon the grounds rs
above stated. 1t is said that the Bolts and
Baldwin influence will unite in their efforts TO
yacate the position, when either leader will
strain every nerve to secure the Senatorial
toga failing in which, a compromise will be
made upon either Governor Peirpoint or ex-
Governor John Letcher.- Washington Cores
