think it safe to entrust them with pc.

Of dealing with this class. If kinducs,

no hesitation in using them. Fortu.

Arr..t ., Jobn portarssld. ESQ.

Mr.. John Porterfeld, well-known
and highly esteemed citizen Of this city,
and formerly Cashier in the Merchants
Bank, was arrested on our streets yester-
day, under an order from Washington.
We understand that the alleged cause
for this arrest was the supposed compile
ity of Mr.. Porterfeld with the assassina-
ton of President Abraham Lincoln; and
among other things, that Mr.. p, during
a residence in Canada, harbored certain
persons in some way implicated with
Booth in that assassination.
OF course, all who are acquainted with
him, will not hesitate to brand such an
accusation against man of John Por-
terfeld's high character, as UNANIMOUSLY
false. We are satisfied that upon an
investigation, the charge will be proved
utterly groundless, and it is sincerely to
be regretted that he has to be subjected
to such annoyance.
He is at present prisoner at the State
penitentiary, near this city. The order
for his arrest was executed through Gen.
R. w. johnson. The affair has occa-
stoned much surprise and no little feel

Associated Press Dispatches

WAsmsGToN, May 90 The President
and the different members of the Cabinet
were serenaded tonight by the National
Union Club. In response to compll-
ments. the President said he rendered his
thanks for the demonstration, and such
appreciation was peculiarly gratifying.
He said all that will be necessary is to
persist in the support and maintenance
of the correct principle. The American
people will satisfy you that the good
work you have commenced is right 1t
will so prove in the end.
Messrs. Wells, Stanton, McCulloch,
and Fred Seward approved OF the policy
of the Administration Speed and Har-
Ian were absent
In the Senate the debate is progressing
on the Constitutional Amendment bill
from the House. Also, the proposed
bill extending the limits of the Freed
mems Bureau for three years.
Secretary Seward, in a speech at
Auburn on Tuesday evening, said the
feeling which prevails in the country
would, perhaps, justify him in address
ing the people upon political topics, cam
idly aud periodically, when the good
Union men were suspicious Of change
Of the views Of defeated rebels and their
support of the Presidents policy. He
from the first rejected the idea that a
change was accomplished for reasonable
usurpcrs. Reconstruction is not needed,
because the country, as constructed long
since, has not been destroyed. What is
needed is reconstruction between the
Senators of the United States, now act
ing, and those who, being loyal, have
been or may be elected hereafter from
the Southern people, could justly be
accepted. Fellow citizens, the Southern
seats have for the last four years been
merely disorganized- They are now or
gained, and nothing is needed but con-
sderaton. The Presidents plan Of re
construction is, that so far and so fast as
the unrepresented Southern States pre-
sent themselves in loyal attitude, by
representatives unquestionably loyal,
they are entitled to representation. This
plan is practicable, and no plan proposed
BY Congress so far is Immediately prac-
ticable. He was aware there was diff
ference between the President and Con-
gress, but hoped the difference would not
cause the Union party to lose its great
influence in guiding the country to a
perfect restoration
