Especial Despatch to the Philadelphia P resi-
WASHINGTON, March l3.-Now that Con-
gress has determined upon its policy of recon
struction, you may look for rapid and continu
Gus work Among the measures sure to be
put through at an early day is the tariff bill.
It will not be bill to protect capital but
labor; and, as such, will be presented to the
President for his signature. That Tennessee
will be admitted, so far as Congress is concern
ed, at an early day, does not seem to be doubt
ed. If vote were taken in the Senate, Mr.
Stockton, from New Jersey, would be unseated
notwithstanding the report Of the Committee
on the Judiciary. Then will come the admis-
sion of the ten other States and the basis Of
their restoration will be, | think, something
like the following:
That the Confederate debt be repudiated ;
that all black codes and class legislation be
repealed ; that all colored men who fought for
the Union and were honorahly discharged, and
all who read and write, shall vote at all cleo
tons for President, Congress. Governors and
Legislatures, ~ =
These, with the essential amendments of
the Constitution, which, however they may be
delayed by differences in the Senate, are sure
to pass ct an carly day, will pretty effectually
close up the work ofthe session.

HUGH LATHAM Mayor Of 44lerandria:
SIR: Yours of this date is at hand. In re-
ply, allow me to say that am pleased with its
contents. Nothing is farther from the fact, than
that this Court will protect colored persons
from all # nces. When they commit depre-
dations, when they violate law of this city or
county, if they are dealt with just as the white
violation, this Court will never complain. It
will aid the Hon Mayor in bringing to justice
all offenders, white or colored This Court would
cali the attention of the Mayor to the
fact that boys, between the ages OF eleven and.
eighteen, are daily in the habit of congregating
on the corners of the Streets 10 that portion of
the city called Petersburg, and the northwest
ern part of the city, and throw stones at each
other, thereby endangering the lives Of citizens
in those places. They are both white and
black If the Mayor will notify such parties
to desist from said practices, one great end will
be gained Also publish the laws regarding
firing shot guns ADD pistols in the city limits,
for the benefit of those who are ignorant that
such laws exist. Then punish all alike, by
what is known as the white code, (save stripes
and this Court will be the last to complain
am, sir, yours, &c,

Captain and Frouost, Judge:
SIR: Yours of 18th inst, relative to Gabriel
Shepperd, (colored,) is before me; you are
aware that have been in Office buta few days
this party was brought before me for violation
of the law prohibiting the firing Of pistols, &c !;
he freely acknowledged his guilt, and on that
acknowledgement assessed fine of 50, one
dollar for each time he fired the pistol. This
| conceive to be in strict conformity with your
letter. az
1t will be time enough when sentence a
colored person under the old slave code for the
interference of the authorities whose duty it is
10 protect colored persons in their rights.
No act OF mine shall ever Cypress or inter
tere with the rights of any resident or sojourn-
in Ibis city,
That pistols and shot guns have been fred,
with impunity in this city, there is not doubt
With the past have nothing to do. The
future is for me, and [ hope to administer the
municipal affairs of this city, 10 such manner
as to receive the approval of my constituents
and also of yourself and associates.
Respectfully, your Oh servt,
