The female rebels OF this city, who 50 anx-
iously awaited the advent Of Mrs. Jeff Davis.
In 1851, but whose hopes came 10 nauglit, have
received intelligence that the aforesaid IL at
Macon, Georgia, the guest OF Howell Cobb
the EDITOR OF TEE NATIONAL IsrrLIraxxcsR.
understand that the salary Of A. John.
son, Esq., editor chief OF the National Intel
lioencer, 10 70 be raised. This has been brought
about by the recent speech OF that gentleman
here.-fbrnsy's Letter.
]. W. ToRSRY, D. D.
Forney has now ID. ID. added to his name,
which Ii 10 doubtful IL any college in the land
yada, who, by the way, Is something of a wag,
proposes TO make q title more significant. He
has notified some Of the Senators that he in
tends 10 offer resolution expelling Forney
from the Senate, on the ground that the
Senate chamber is no place for dead ducks.
He Is just now engaged vigorously In the man
ufacture OF public sentiment. He has issued
cards for a reception to newspaper correspon-
dents on Monday evening. There are many
hungry young men Of this class about the
reporters galleries and the lobbies who will
attend, get primed with Forney's whisky and
anti Presidential notions simultaneously, and
the country press will show Ii in the course
OF week or two.
HEAVY WEEKS WORK.
The disbursements at the Treasury Depart
ment last week amounted to upwards Of thirty
millions Of dollars This is the largest outlay
that has occurred in any one week since the
close OF the rebellion.
THE FEELING HERE.
The action of the caucus on Friday evening,
in declining TO take issue with the Executive
favor here, as will any and all efforts looking
TO the avoidance of q more general rupture.
In the caucus, however, there was neverthe-
less q determination expressed to stand shout
der TO shoulder In support OF the measures that
may be introduced in Congress, and IL the Pre-
sident sees fit to refuse his signature thereto,
so be 1t.
GENERAL GRANT.
General Grants absence from the meeting
in New York was said to have been because he
did not coincide with the measures that he
knew would be advocated there for the settle
ment Of the questions at present disturbing
the country.
GOVERNOR cox AND THE PRESIDENT.
Governor Cox, OF Ohio, had long interview
with the President yesterday. The President
talked to him as sweetly as he had ever talked
to Sumner, Kelley, Beecher, and others, some
time ago, and it is reported that Governor Cox
has not yet made up his mind as to the views
of the President.-Ne,o York Tribune. 18th.
THE SPOTTED FEVER IN WARRINGTON.
A contagious disease, known as the spotted
fever, has lately broken out in one of the asy
lums of this city, and is creating quite panic
In the neighborhood adjacent. Washington
people are especially nervous just now in an
ticipation of visitation of the Asiatic
cholera; the appearance of this new epidemic,
causes very general apprehension.
CORRESPONDENTS BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND
SOUTHERN GOVERNORS.
It is ascertained that the correspondence
between the President and the Southern
Governors, and the official documents called
for by a resolution passed by the Senate about
two months ago, were collected by the State
Department and forwarded TO the President
over four weeks ago, but they have been so far
withheld by the President. This circumstance
is looked upon as indicating that the CORES
pondence and documents contain things she'd
ding so unfayorable light upon the Presl-
dents reconstruction policy as to render 1t de-
sirahle for His Exeellency not to have them
published. 1t is expected that the call for the
papers will be repeated at an early day, and 1t
remains to be seen whether the President
will still refuse to give the people an inside
view of the workings of his system. -Neio
York Tribune.
MEETING OF THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE.
The Reconstruction Committee held a meet
ing to-day, and, notwithstanding the recent
expression in Congress, the Tennessee ques-
ton was again discussed and with some faVo-
rable aspects.
SECRETARY STATIONS RESIGNATION.
Cabinet changes are again freely circulated
among the numerous on dts" There is no
doubt but that Secretary Stanton's resigna-
ton is in the hands of the President.
MR.. SEWARD TO BE ATTACKED.
His labelling the Reconstruction Committee
the Obstruction" Committee is a capital
hit It is, however, probable that both Fes-
sender and Stevens will assail him on that
point.
COUP D'ETAT.
1t Is indeed not apprehended here that the
President will 60 so far as to use violent mea-
sures against Congress, for even If it were pos
sible that the idea of coup etat should, under
exciting circumstances, cross his
mind, his Immediate advisers would not per-
NIT him to forget that he alone could not exc
cute it, and that other people love their own
heads better than himself.-C0rre8p0nde
Ne,o York Tribune.
PEACE AT HAND.
Ihaye it from good authority that the Pre-
sident will, in few days. issue an official
that peace has been firmly estab-
lished in the South. The States will then be
left to govern themselves, under the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and the State and
local laws, without military interference,
except in relation to the Feedmen's Bureau.
This institution will continue one year after
the date of the forthcoming proclamation.
