The etnrtes which hs-~ IeoA ezseulntet - iEaua-
1ous1y within the last four or i've dAys r. To the
action Of the Government with respect to the c-le
braton Of the Sd Of April by the colored people Of
Richmond, arc mostly untrue. The mntte1 has not
eEen been mentioned in the Cabinet. and conse-
quently thcre has been no quarrel betuean the
President and any Of his Secretaries. Not one OF
them hare been invited 10 resign in consequence Of
suCh quarTel There lss been no conflict Of Opinion
On the subject betwesn the President and Gen.
Grant, and consequently the Executive his not
found it Decestary to eet as1de any order Of the
Lieutenant General. The case has not e1ci:cd
great comnotion here, and in consequence 1t has
not BEEN the theme Of general conversation The
iacae abont 1t are simply these: The negroes in
tend having jubtlee in honor Of their euanci-
patton. similar to the ore they had In the
African Church Of RIchmoud OF the 6th OF Aptl last
year. The EeccEetonlfts demonstrated against 1t,
and laid their cake before Gen. 1e1ry. he gave
thcm to understand that he knew 20 reason for
fupnreettnc the jubilee. Two or three Of the re-
bcs tAme up here and laid the before the Pre-
eideut lie referred the matter to Gen. Grant.
About that time came letter from Gen. Terry,
mixing for the vicws Of Gen. Grant. Thai officer
promptly replied that Gen. Terry WIS on the
ground md he wRs willing to leaye the matter 10
his discretion, adding. however, that II the
colozad people wanted to have quiet jubilee there
was no objection, and they must be projected from
outfagc and intuG. The Pressdent saw no eau:e
for interfering in the matter, and a1viecs Of last
evening from Richmond are to the effect that the
jubilee wiu be held as originally intended.
The defunct rebels will hare to grin and hear 1t as
best they ean. One Of their churchcs, which they
bad prepared for the exercises. waa burned Satur-
day evening, BY rebels, OF cousse-

iet Of foldicre and Faiiors; thEt they do not ind
Il easy to agree upon The form Of this measure

which Mr.. Blaine, Of Maine, IL ChAlfmsn; that
this subcommittee has partially drawn
