WASHINGTON, July Is, 1866.
A paragraph has recently been going inc
rounds Of the press, which e'nanateo ,,ol"
Baltimore, asserting that Mcssfs. ' ai
diyham, Jesse d. Bright, ana ,,a''.s
Faulkner were on their way 10 "as"'ns-
ton tor the purpose of consulting win"
President with reference 10 tie app''"";
ment of ~ Governor Weller ,i y. p.L
ton of Secretary of War. ihi' "Ist"
was the cause of i~nangurat'hs a s."
Radical outcry, and was repeated rs on'.
another indication OF now 'ne i'.s'u."'
was being bcsiegcd for ia'orso! ms 'olhiei
,n.,,;... bnt | happen TO know, from the
hn>, ,n,torj,y. first, that the three gentle
mon named were not travelling in COM
nany. having met casually in the cars Sc
rrnpd. that the only conversation that Mr..
Faulkner had with Messrs. Bright and
Vallandigham was upon their meeting, and
did no, extend beyond a very few mo-
mcut>, when the usual congratulations COM
mo- among friends and acquaintancestook
place without any reference whatever to
political matters and third, the name OF
Governor Weller was not mentioned IN the
course OF the conversation etwee Mcssrs.
Bright and ~Vallandigham, nor was the
slightest hint made with respect to matters
OF an official character. The gentleman
who gave the startling information must
have been slightly deficient in the sense OF
hearing, and mistook probably the time
honored discussion of the heather when
the three gentlemen met for the name OF
Weller, while his imagination fixed up the
remainder OF the story. Mr.. Vallandigham
has asked no favor of the President, nor
has he had any intention OF so doing, and
may here assert, that whatever might
have been the political differences between
these two gentlemen, there always has
been, and still is, the very best OF personal
feeling in existence. Mr.. N~allandigham
will use his influence, which is powerful
in the West, in behalf of the President
policy, in common with other distinguished
gentlemen who are sinking party names
and affiliations in the great cause oi our
common country.
Congress has al last agreed 10 adjourn on
Saturday next, which determination was
had after various discussions ana many
misgivincS as 10 what the President might
do ii left with what the Radicals call his
hands united. But il was thought by the
wiser heads among them that any leglsla-
ton tending 10 restrict the privileges OF
the Executive would act very much TO
their own dctriment; and they intend
making a trial of his turbearancc until the
next session. The short recess will be one
OF great interest in official circles, rs many
events OF importance beside the tall cleo
tons will tran,pire therein.
!, i, not vet known definitely whether
the President will, as has been asserted,
remove the Commissioner Of Agriculture.
II IS certain that applications tor that posi-
tion have been pouring in ever since the
meeting Of Congress, aud one or two dele
cations from the West-gcncrally Radical
oncs-have made loud appeals Tor their
~tavorite candidates.
The Philadelphia Convention stock IL
advancing, and the enemies OF the PROPOSE
tIun seem to become more alarmed Il, the
day ier its meeting approaches nearer. A
harmonious gathering cannot fan to accom-
ulish the best results; and from various In
iic.i,ions at present there seems no danger
OF any other spirit but that OF the utmost
good will 10 all men" who favor A com
plctc Union presenting itself. The con-
rcntion IL Southern "loyal men" 50 caHsd,
j, not much talked Of.
There Is a heavy storm Of rain and hail
tonight, the effect OF which has been to
make the atmosphere ten degrees c~c,lc..
Il will hardly, however, revive the Radl-
cal notion OF stopping here all summer.
The FIRST National Bank of Wilmington,
\. c., has been organized with q capital
OF one hundred thousand dollars. This is
the fourth institution Of that kind orga-
rizcd in North Carolina, and the applica-
tion Tor il had been on Tile for ten months.
Work is going on regularly at the At
t"rncv-Gencral's office, Mr.. Stanoberry
having commenced where Mr.. Speed left
Of. Several rardons were issued to-day.
Senators Chandler and Wade are vio-
lcntly opposed to al adjournment, but
lind themselves, with eleven other ultras,
in a decided minority on th~isscore. Wade
apprchcuds dirctul results TO the party as
u result OF this party action OF Congress.
