10 the month of Jaauary, 1866, Mr.. |
Premise, of The. Louisville JO,ernaE then on
a visit to his SOD at Richmond, had amin
terview with Mr.. Davis. in the course of
which the latter expressed the opinion that
if the North continued the prosecution of
the war. it would result most disastrously
to her Ia the END, even if she conquered the
South. In late. issue of the Journal, he
anudes to this interview. and in. reference
te the opinion expressed By Nr; Davis,
says; .ssa II. s~-..f -

portion of the public debt, and thus piling

are in progress, between the President aud

The basis Of settlement will be universal

that the question of suffrage properly be-
longs to the respective States. and is so far
averse to any action. of Congress upon that
subject, that if assurances can be obtained

viii waive his objection. The, proposed

From Washington

WAsHINsToN. Nov. 19.-The report that
Gen Grant objected to the reinstatement of
Gen. Sweeney is absolutely false. Cen.
Grant desired Gen. Sweeney to be promot-
ed to a higher grade than the one be for
rnerly held in the regular army.
The statement made to day by number.
Of leading Representatives, men of the
Union and Democratic parties. tends to con-
firm the previous intimations that have
leaked ont from the. recent consultation at
the White House, that the President is on
the verge of coup d etat that will CRAFTY
his friends and beWilder his enemies. Tt is
safe to conclude, at the very least. that there
is an earnest desire on both sides to settle
upon some feasible plan of securing barmo-
NOUS action between Congress and the
Executive. I'D $50 ss.s--ss
Mr.. Chase's first interview with the
President was merely 10 give the latter
some opinion on judicial matters. e. The
second interview was merely friendly one.
and Judge Chase took occasion to advise
Mr.. johnson to depart from his present
policy and urge the Southern Legislatures
to adopt the Constitutional Amendment as
a final settlement of present difficulties; the
in case they objected to the second and
| third clauses of the Amendment, to compro-
mise by substituting universal amnesty and
! impartial suffrage.
| Not only has Judge Chase urged this
course upon the President, but so also have
several prominent men of his own party,
from both the North and the South, o. q.
Clay among the latter. Whether these

based viii change the course Of the Presi.

/ Mr.. johnson has indicated his purpose

mentioned on Friday last. The gentlemen
who advocate the proposition represent that
the President has given them encourage
meht to expect that he will adopt their sug-
gestions substantially, if not ezactiyiin the

! Several newspaper correspondents have
/ ehdeayored to create doubts of the existance
of such combination of leading men foI
the purpose OF inducing the President to

order to put atsrest such doubts as exist
will say from my own knowledge that such
combination does exist. A number o.
gentlemen cooperating IN it have had inter.
views with Mr.. johnson, and they have
been laboriDg in the matter for about a
