Grant and the President was evoked as a conse-
quenoe of the matter of the suppression and re-
yival Of the Richmond Eramtne-.
supporiers OF the President.
1t is reported that Secretary Sc ward, Mr. Ray
mond, and Representative Delano have left this
city for New York, for the purpose OF making
speeches in support of the President and his
policy.
Governor FenGOn
is in this city. He is understood to strongly dis
approve the Presidents veto message of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, as a most unfortunate
act, and iraught with dangerous consequences.
Opinions of the Cabinet.
The statement that Messrs. Seward, McCul
loch, Densou, and Welles sustained the Presi
dents Veto Message, in Cabinet meeting, is
generally credited here. 1t is said that Cabinet
Minister S, in confidential conversations, do not
deny it,
The Feeling In Ohio.
The following despatch from Ohio was re-
ceived here to-day. It is from source emf
nently qualified to know whereof he speaks:-
"The people are furiously indignant Ohio is
good to-day for $4,000 against Johnson. Great
enthusiasm prevails in favor of Congress-"
Cabinet RumOrs.
The statements telegraphed hence that there
is TO be an immediate and general disruption of
the Cabinet are entirely groundless as we are
assured upon the best possible authority. At
the Cabinet meeting yesterday there was the
usual personal cordiality, although the diff.
ferences of opinion between those who favored
and those who opposed the veto are irrecon-
cilable. The statement that Mr.. Speed will
shortly retire seems to be founded on something
more than ordinary rumors, and is an event
quite dependent as to time and circumstance
upon that genteman's own volition.
Circular from General Baird.
MajorGeneral Baird, Assistant Commissioner
of the Freedmen's Bureau for Louisiana, has
published a circular to the planters OF st.
Martins, in reply to certain resolutions adopted
by them at a meeting to regulate contracts with
freedmen, in which he compliments them for
their liberality and Justice, and speaks of the
resolutions as highly creditable to them. but
suggests few Improvements that would render
the rules provided by the resolutions acceptable
to all parties concerned.
The Author OF the Message.
The authorship of the Presidents veto message
is variously assigned. The opinion which most
generally obtains in Congressional circles is that
it is the handiwork of several doctors, with the
prescriptions good deal mixed. Montgomery
Blair is popularly assigned an important part in
its authorship.
The Pardon Bup.nsss.
Over three hundred pardons have Just been
completed and issued mostly to North Carroll
mans. On Tuesday eight pardons were granted
to Alabamans.
Smuggling.
Advices received by Hon. N. Sargent, Com
missioner of Customs, from our Northern from
tier, state that considerable impetus has been
given to smuggling by the tone of some of the
English newspapers which openly advise Cana
diaAs to practise it, ia revenge for the indspos-
ton of the United States to renew the Recipro-
city treaty.
CoIOred Schools.
Several of the colored school buildings here
were dressed in mourning last night on account
of the veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill.
Celebration To-Day I'm WashfngtOR.
The anniversary of Washington's birthday is
being more generally observed here than for
many years. The Government departments
banking houses, and places of business are
closed, and there is a general display of flags
Also a parade of fire companies, etc. Both
houses of Congress ar closed, and the members
are attending the ceremonies IN the House.
1t their hail. the association called the
coolest Inhabitants" are celebrating the day;
and at Growers Theatre pretty large political
demonstration is in progress with speaking
going on within the building, and at two stands
outside. Tom Florence is the engineer of this
demonstration, which is of the Democratic
stripe. -t"
The resolutions adopted eulogize the Consti
tuition as it exists, enlarge upon its indestructi
biity, urge the admission of Southern members,
oppose any new rule in the qualification of
electors, denounce the District suffrage bill and
negro equality, uphold the Presidents veto,
deprecate the ''disheartening treatment of our
erring but repentant fellow-citzens of the South
by the House of Representatives" and unquali-
hedly endorse the policy of the President
These resolutions are to be presented to the
President this evening by the meeting en- nasse,
and it is supposed that the President will speak
at some length in response.
President Johnson, ex-oficio President of the
National Monument Association, presided at
their meeting to-day, at their hall.
They were addressed by the venerable Philip
r. Kendall, of the Washington bar, President.
In response to illusions made to the impedi-
ments being thrown in the way of restoring all
the States he said he thought all good citizens
should labor to bring all the States back to the
fold of the Union.
