with the case did express the opinion that the writ Of

opinion.
"My opinion simply that the late peace proclamation

lately in Instruction. and stated that the peace prodama
ton did include Texas and that had not and was not
intended TO have broad and general application

Death of Major william Ii. Lewis. the
Friend and Adviser General Jackson.

From the NaShvilLe Dispatch November 13.
We are called upon to chronicle the death of
another old citizen. Ma ajor William B. Lewis,
one of the Oldest and most highly esteemed citi-
zens OF this county, died at his residence, near
Nashville, yesterday. He was, we believe, about
oighty-two years of age. Major Lewis came to
this county at an early day, and has witnessed
the growth OF Nashville from a small village to
ii comparatively large and wealthy city.
He was the intimate personal friend of Gene
raj jackson, and there was no man IN the State
so thoroughly acquainted with the history OF
political parties during the administration OF
the old hero. He had served with General
Jackson during the War of 1872 and the Indian
wars of that period, and upon the election OF
the latter to the Presidency, Major Lewis re-
uaired to Washington with him, and was his
trusted friend and confidential adviser during
his administration. With the retirement of
General Jackson, Major Lewis returned to his
home on the banks of the Cumberland, where
he resided in comparative retiracy until his
election to the Legislature last year.
In the troubles which eliminated in the late
civil war, Major Lewis was devoted, untalter-
ing friend of the Union, and he remained firm
in his faith throughout that terrible struggle.
The war over he eXerted himself to heal up
the wounds 1t had LETT upon the body polite;
and when his motives as legislator were i'm
pugned, he resigned and appealed to his consti-
tuents for an Endorsement of his course, and
hey reelected him by very large majority;
but the party having control OF the Legislature
referred his credentials to the Committee on
Elections, and that committee never reported
on his case. A few weeks since Major Lewis,
disguised with the course of the dominant party
in the Legislature, resigned the seat to which he
had been elected

WASHINGTON November IL.
Chief Justice Chase I'm ConsultatiOn with
President johnson.
Chief Justice Chase was again with the Presl-
dent last night, and remained with him until
late hour, nterchapging views with Mr.. John
son relative to the proposition mentioned in my
yesterdays despatch, proposing general am.
nesty in consideration for qualified suffrage.
Governor Swami and several members of Con-
gress were also in waiting for an interview with
the President, but the whole evening being
spent in the consultation with Judge Chase, the
rest of the visitors failed to see Mr.. johnson.
The amnesty suffrage proposition meets with
almost universal appreciation from the repre-
sentatives of all parties here assembled.
The Cleveland Postmaster.
General George w. Morgan, Democratic Mem
Der of Congress from the Thirteenth Ohio Dis
trct, his brother, william Morgan, and Judge
Van Trump, Democratic Member of Congress
from the Twelfth District, arrived here on We'd
nesdsy, to secure the removal OF Mr.. Benedict,
editor OF the Cleveland Herald, from the office OF
Postmaster at that place, and the appointment
of Mr.. Armstrong, editor of the Pldindedler.
They saw the President, but did not get any en-
couragement. They then saw the Postmaster
General and quite plain talk ensued, ending
in perempary refusal to make the appoint
ment, and very plain intimation that the
Democratic support of the Presidents policy
had been only sufficient to injure instead OF
aiding it.
PERSONAL.
Information has been received here that Ad-
mral Tegethy, of the Austrian Navy, the hero
of the battle of LISA, is shortly to visit this
country, to inspect our iron-clads, naval arma-
ment, docks, etc.

to confer with the President upon the amnesty

Quite pressure is now being made for pardon

tion of one thousand stand of arms from the
National Armory here, has not particle o

Discussion as to the Cost of Furnishing
Gas to the CIIiZens of BOstOn-A Heavy
Robbery.
BosToN, November l6.-Tbe citizens are dis
cussing whether the city shall not manufacture
its own gas, and supply it to householders at
cost. In the public institutions on Deer Island,
gas is manufactured at one dollar and quarter
per thousand feet, while the city gas company
charges three dollars and twenty-five cents.
The Convention OF Locomotive Engineers, in
session here, have taken decided ground against
strikes, as being useless to secure the object
hoped for.
Active and earnest measures are now being
taken by our merchants and leading business
The present point of discussion is, whether the
city shall take one million of dollars stock in
the projected lines, or leave it to the business
community. II is believed that the municipal
corporation will not invest in the scheme.
