Not many ysars ago there lived, in = small

ed with sound sense wittal--by the name Of
Eli Snidpool
Said genius, to his surprise, and the infinite
astoaishment Of his acqnaintnuces, plucked
up sufficient courage, e the age of forty TO

aud aghossly palor passed over his features
and the proposal was declined. The nurse,
bore TO urge his presenco in the sick roop
just then; but as the day passed Of without
consolation of his attendance, she visited the
citing room again, not . little indignant, and
even insisted that the liege lord should at
once go with bar TO his wifs rooua- ExdSnt.

the door, which, being opened, hss immedi-
ate'y seized and nearly closed again, standing
with his bunch of tansy thrust tightly against

FROM WASHINGTON.

EEw YonK, Nov. II.
The HeralTs Washington special says
Chief Justice Chase Is At the White House
again this evening in consultation with the
President, upon the subject Of the comrro-
mise measures which the leaders OF both the
principal parties are now urging upon Mr..
johnson. The compromise is said to consist
in Offering to the people Of the South
general amnesty, in consideration of their
accepting universal suffrage, with qualifica-
tion of either property or intelligence. 1t is
believed that this measure will be well re-
ceived by all parties. The President aeems
inclined to give the subject fair and full con-
sideraton.
The Cabinet meeting to>day was attended
by all the members with the exception Of the
Attorney General, who is ON q visit to New
York. The meeting lasted several hours.
The Times Washington special says Chic
Justice Chase was again with the President
to night. and remained with him until q late
hour, interchanging views with Mr.. johnson
relative to the proposition mentioned in my
last nights despatch, proposing general
amnesty, in consideration for qualified suf
frage. Governor Swain and several members
of Congress were also in waiting for an inter-
view with the President, but the whole even>
ing being spent in consultation with Judge
Chase, the rest of the party failed to see Mr.
johnson. The amnesty suffrage proposition
meets with almost universal appreciation from
the representations Of all parties here Assem-
bled.
