an alHerenees of opinion concerning the
past Irou6ie forever buried He endorsed
Ihe fresidents reeonstruction uolicv. and
SAID success of tho efforts for the restor.tion
Of states to former relations, was the oniv
hope Tor liberty and self government. Hs
said the South should accept the issues of
war ard abide them in good faith, and az
pressed his confidence that the people Of
Georgia would DO So He considered tha
whole United States one common country,
to be cherished and defended as such by
all. Abolition of slavery should be accepted
as irreversable fact, and we should cease 10
discuss the question whether a new eondi-
ton was better for both races. Only wise
and humane provisions should be made for
the negro, amply and full protection should
be secured to them so that they may start
equal before the law in the possession and
enjoyment Of all rights of personal liberty
and property. All obstacles, ifthere be any,
should be removed which can possibly him
der or retard the blacks to the extent Of their
capacity. All proper aid should be given to
their own efforts, and channels OF education
should be opened to them. Schools and the
usual means ofmOral and intellectual train
ing should be encouraged among them. In
conclusion he said his only hope for the fti-
ture was peaceful reestablishment of a good
government, and its peaceful maintenance
afterwards, and most hopeful prospect Of
this age now is the restoration Of the old
Union, and with 1T speedy return of fra
ternal feeling throughout its length and
breadth. Those results depend upon the
people themselves, upon the people of the
North quite as much as the South, upon
their virtue, intelligence and patriotism.

Secretary Stewards speech.

Secretary SeWard's Speech.
New YosK, February 25-The Herald's
special says Mr.. Stewards speech before the
Cooper Institute meeting is invested with
additional significance from the fact of his
receiving two or three dispatches from Sen
ator Nye and others in this city, stating
that the President had made terrible
speech, one that he could not possibly sp-
prove or endorse, and one that must inev-
itably break up the Republican party. Mr..
Seward was not deferred however, and on
learning what the President had said, tele-
graphed full and cordial approval.
Secretary Stanton.
The wiseacres on the streets and in the
lobbies seem more than usually earnest to-
night in their averments that Secretary
Stanton has sent in his resignation. One
thing tends to corroborate this statement,
and that is the special order given by Sec
retary Stanton this morning, that all papers
awaiting his signature should be prepared
and brought before him with all possible
despatch.
GEN. Stedman.
There is a well authenticated report that
Gen. Stedman has been telegraphed to
come to Washington for conference with the
President. 1t is also true that strong out
side pressure is being made for the appoint
ment of Gen. Frank P. Blair as Secretary
of War.
Iowa ON the Presidents Message.
Representatives Wilson and Price have re-
ceiyed telegram from Governor Stone, of
Iowa, saying that the Legislature of that
State, by an overwhelming majority, has
passed a joint resolution approving the
course of their Representatives and Sena-
tors in sustaining the Freedmen's Bureau
bill, and repudiating the Presidents veto.
President johnson has received the fol-
lowing telegram:
KEoKUK, Iowa, February 24-An immense
mass meeting was held here to-day. There
was great enthusiasm. One hundred guns
were fired. Your veto message and admin
istraton were endorsed unanimously.

NEW York, February 24.-The cores

the Chilian Minister left his post to return
home.

The General Government paid some of
the war deb.s of Delaware, which her De-
mocrstic Legislature would not pay, and
now asks that this money be reimbursed
as it has been in the case of other States.
Delaware Democrats have refused thus
far, but as "the powers that be" propose
to take immediate measures to collect what
is due them, ',otenS UoLe',s, the Legislature
has actually voted to take just SO much of
the school money away from the School
Commissioners as will pay this war debt
Of the State. This Democratic body has
further distinguished itself by refusing to
pay their States quota, of few hundred
dollars, to inclose the graves of her sleep
ing sons who fought and fell at Gettys-
burg.

WASHINGTON, February 24.-The caucus
of the Republican Senators and Representa-
tives, last night, was somewhat indefinite,
but was attended with important results.
A majority of those present were decidedly
opposed to risk quarrel with the President,
if it can be avoided. The presumption is,
this morning, that many members may sup
port the President. The city is full of
rumors about Cabinent changes.

How Thing. Go In the south.

Captain J. W. Read, formerly of the
55th Kentucky Volunteers, was fined
$4,000 by jury in the Circuit Court of
Campbell County, Kentucky, at Alexan-
dria, on Thursday, on two indictments,
charging him with preventing legal voters
from voting. Being unable or unwilling
to pay the fne he was committed to Jail.
Captain R claimed to have acted under
orders from General Palmer, in prevent
ing the parties from voting. The ques-
tion arises whether General Palmer can
permit bis subordinate to be punished for
the execution of his orders.
If a court of semi-loyal State like
Kentucky would persecute Union officer
for obeying orders, what must court in
an unsubdued rebel State do? 1t was for
the purpose of preventing such occur
rences that the recent vetoed Freedman
bill passed by Congress.
