WAsHINGroN, January 2s.-The President to-
day said to distinguished Senator'S that the agita-
ton Of the Negro Franchise question in tie Dis
trict of Columbia, at this lime, was the mere en-
terng wedge to the agitation Of the question
throughout the states. He said it was iltimed,
uncaed for, and calculated to DO great harm,
He believed it would engendeF trouble, enmity
and strife between the races, and lead to a war
between them, which would result in injury to
both, and certain destruction to negro popula-
lion. Precedence, he thought, should be given
to more important aud urgent matters, legislation
upon which was essential to the. restoration Of
the Union, tn" peace Of the county and the
prosperity Of the people. The foregoing IS i'm,
plicitly true. ~ p. -. =" g.,

The new York Citizen says, that those who
srumble at paying four cents for daily and
fen cents for weekly papers here, would do
we'll TO notice what European papers cost.
The London Times costs $45 year. The
Daily Meas, Globe Herald and Post, charge
the same rate. The London Eoening Nail is
published three times week at $25 year.
The London semi-weeklies $12.@ The French
daily papers, large ones, are about the same
price as the London prints. Those about the
size of ours cost $50 and $25 year. The
German papers cost from s22 to $50 a year.
The cost Of paper and composition, and in
deed everything connected with the makeup
of paper, is much less in Europe than in
this country, so that the American journals
are even cheaper than would appear from the
disparity Of prices.

This is the title of a little Sunday School paper,
published by the Sunday School Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention at Greenville, and
from the press of Mr. Geo. E.. Eford. Kind
Words will be welcomed by the little folks,
wherever it reaches, and we hope its circulation
will be extensive. 1t is neatly printed, and most
admirably adapted to meet the end designed.
Price only ten cents a year. No subscription

Queer Letter.. wilkes Booth Redivivua.

The Norfolk Post of Saturday contains the
following singular letter:
MoREHEAD CITY, January s., 1s66.-Editor
Norfolk Post: Sir--I have just arrived in
this place from --, when tsaw and talked
sin of your late President. That he would
tai may seem strange, but it is true neverthe-
less
saw him and B. Harris, who left with
him not four weeks ago, and learned from him
all the hardshipS that he underwent in leaV-
ing this country. He says that no one who
has the least regard for truth will say that he
was in Ford's heatre on the night of the
14th of April last, and wonders why no one
present on that occasion did not pretend to
recognize the man that shot Lincoln until
they were told that it was him, by Lory Keen,
his bitter enemy. He did not however, to me
deny or admit that he bad done the deed ):
but stated that no one could truthfuliy say,
of their own knowledge, that it was him..
He declares that Mrs. Surratt was innocent,
and wonders how the man that was killed IN
the barn looked. He learned from the papers
that he had heavy beard, and had shearcd
or cut it in such an awkward manner that his
(Booth's) most intimate friends would not re-
cognize him as Booth He thinks not. He
believed, innocent or guilty, that if found he
would have been sacrificed to their mad fury,
and concluded to leave, which he did. And
as there can be no harm, in telling, will
state what he told me-omitting names.
He crossed the river at Georgetown; stop
ped the next day near Fairfax Courthouse; the
next night he was taken sick near M;ddleburg,
he remained two days; and after more than
three weeks traveling-mostly by night, and
suffering severely-he reached Florida where
he was detained for some time, until Harris,
who was not mentioned in the afait, and
who could not appear publicly, procured
boat which they ventured to sea IN. and made
land safe Booth was Immediately taken sick,
and has been the most of the time since
In October he was much better, so much
so that he took some exercise in the open air,
but relapsed, and was confined to his room
until about four weeks ago. His constitution,
in my judgment, is ruined, and don't be-
lleve he viii live long. He was preparing for
change of climate and if no relapse has
taken place, is probably in another country,
where he will meet with more ofhis own peo-
pie, or people from the same country.
Mr.. editor, write such poor English that
fear you will not be able to make it out;
but it is the truth, the whole truth; and if
you wish, you. may publish it. 1 shall not
be in the country to read it. Yours, truly,

is now suggested that the COMMITTEE will endeaV-
or to agree upon some amendment to the ~Consti-
tati n upon which all parties and sections can
unite, and By which complete restoration may be
effected. Of course nothing can be done which
wonld meet the views of she extremists, sne6 as
Sumner, TrumbuIL Steveusj Kelly; &c. - ossfoty
these leaders have passed over their party to- sQch
an extent.as to carry out their own views and
effect practical dissolution Of the Union: 8 ks IS
openly declared and avowed as the intention OF
the Radicals to carry out, in all the States the
policy established here, Of universal negro sut-
frage; that no State is to be recognized as part
of the Union without an equal negro suffrage
law; and that the subject shall he agirated in the
Northern States till they shall comply with this
doctrine. ~,
Mr.. Trumbull's Bill eniarging the powers Of
the Freedmen's Bureau is in keeping with the
policy and tone of the majority, and will pass
both Houses 1t will establish, as Mr.~Gnthrie
remarked, class of lazzaroni in the Southern
States. The Senate will refuse even to except
Virginia, Maryland, and Kentucky from the ope
ration of the Act, which proposes to govern the
South by means of the FreedmeE's Bureau, aided
bv the military forces The expense of the sys-
tenn will be seventy or. eighty millions; and its
practical effect upon the South will be, as was
declared by Mr. Stewart of Nevada, to induce
them upon the occasion OF the hrSt war TO take
part against this Government. .=......
1t is question whether the President Will aP-
prove of all these radical acts. He has, himself,
considered such measures as a tendency to- dis
union, and he has declared his opposition to the
disupiopists of the North as we'll as the South.

most prominent lawyers, is daily cfoseted all
alone with his law-books, preparing for the trial
of jefferson Davis. He has been engaged oy the
Government for the sum Of one hundred thous-

tire soul in the mat ,er. He,is studying all the
old law4saeks he can lag his hands on, for the

The Governor yesterday visited the Revenue
Cutter stKewanee" and was excellently received
by the officers of that vessel. Capt. Selden did
the honors, supported by his Ieutenants, Just,
Webster, and Harwood. The Governor WAS sup
ported by his aids, and select of friends.
Among the guests we're the Collector of the Port,
Dr.. a, G. Mackey, Mr.. Surveyor Leitch, and
Others of The service. Among the guests were
Brother Pierson, who is one Of the great Masonic
ocacles of the West. Thu day was passed with
great pleasantly. The harbor was very beautiful
and showed to great advantage. The Cutter
"Aewanee" was thoroughly explored-a beautiful
ship kept in most beautiful order. A Governors 5
salute of seventeen guns welcomed the Governor
of the State. 4 fine repast followed, and the day
passed off with the most admirable feeling. In
the afternoon, the party visited the L. 5. monitor
"Squando," and gave some time to the inspection
of that curious vessel aud her machinery. Her
commanding officer, Capt. Lyners, happened not
to be present, but the other officers were at their
posts, and showed themselves as courteous as
intelligent. To the Chief Engineer, Roberts, and
his Assistant, Kay, the party was much indebted
for the exhibition of the machinery; nor must
we forget to accord our Acknowledgements to the
Pilot, Mr. Foster. A day was speHeyery pleas
antly and instructively, and the party arrived in
the city at en- early hour. Nothing could exceed
the, courtesy and genial welcome of the officers
of these government vessels. Those of the "Ke-
vance" seemed particularly assiduous in showing
their respects to our Governor, and in honor to
the Palmetto State.-CaroIiniap, Feb, 2.

II confess that increasing years bring with

Toonlv nsed, Heaven is said to be a place for
those who have not succeeded on earth; and it
is sure that celestial grace does not thrive aiid

I'll success sometimes arises from Saperabun-
dance Of qualities, in themselves good.,trom
conscience tno sensitive, taste too fastidious,
a selfforgetfulness too romantic a, modesty
too retiring. l will not go SO far as@to say,
with a living poet, that the world KNOWS
nothing of its men, but there are forms OF

A supper was given to Governor Orr, last night,
at the Mills House, at which were assembled a
considerable number of his friends. Every thing
was prepared in the best style, By our excellent
host, Purcell, of that establishment. The supper
was recherche, consisting of all that was good,
which our markets coud afford. The wines were
particularly fine, and never did company more
thoroughly enjoy the delights of such an enter
tainment under more grateful auspices. Lieuten-
ant Governor Porter, with his usual grace, pre-
sided at the head of the table. Our excellent
Mayor, Gailliard, occupied the foot and their ad-
nlirable art for presiding left none of the party
unsatsfed. The. company was goodly one,and
absorbed some of the finest intelligences and wits
in town 1t is impossible, in the brief limits ac-
corded u.s. and at this late hour, to do justice to
the feast of reason, the flow of soul, the food of
Wit, and the fund of fro!ic which relieved the
grave philosophy and the sage debate. Enough
that wisdom accommodated herself to society,
and society made herself at home with wisdom.
To report fully what was said and done is impos-
sible. We can only afford a skeSeton report.

What has Congress Done.

The New York HeroM thus SUMS up what
Congress has done since its meeting iR De-
cember last: >-.
. Two months of the present session of Con-
gress having expired, the question naturally
recurs, what progress has been made by the
two Houses in the heavy schedule, of work
before them touching the reconstruction of
our domestic and foreign affairs. We can on
" answer that we have had any quantity Of
speeches, resolutions, bills, constitutional
amendments, &c., submitted in each House.
but that the practical results, so far, have
been very small Ore bill has been passed
into law-that providing against the cattle
disease by prohibiting the introduction, into
the United States of European cattle. The
House has passed bill by a two-th&as vote
este+rd@;rss tue right Of snnrage sFes=- re
Srriction to the blacks OF the Dlstrict OF 20
lumbia, and the Senate by similar vote has
passed bill eplarging the powers of the
Freedmens Bureau, and beyond these achieve
ments and the reconstruction powers accorded
the Joint committee of ffteen,s otherwise
known as the Committee OF Public Safety,
we have nothing in the way of business to
report. Yet there is the constitutional amend
ment reported from that comnittee, and
which, for a week past, has been under dis
cussion in the House. This amendment, ex-
Guiding from the basis of Federal representa-
ton the whole race with regard to which any
State may deny or abridge. the right of suff,
rage, viii, we guess, be referred back to the
committee tomorrow. The District negro
suffrage bill, meantime, will probably come
up in the Senate; and thus, upon this bill,
that amendment, or something else concern
ing the rights of the negro, all other subjects
OF Congressional legislation may be. superee-
ded for a month or two to come. ---..'-

IMPORTANT TO TAX PAYERs.-We present onr
readers with, and direct theiF. attention to, the
following extracts from a circular issued recent
" from the Office of the Comptroller General OF
this State with regard to the construction OF the
Bill o raise supplies" passed at the recent ses-
sion ofthe Legislature.
"The tax On spirtuous liquors brought into
this State naust be levied on ali such liquors
brought in at any tue between the lst October,
1864 and the 1st October, 1865"
This is a distinct tax and is to be paid by the
importer, ifthe same liquor is sold by him with
his general stock of goods, wares and merchan-
die, the amount of such sales is not to be inciu-
ded ia his general return Of goods, wares and
merchandise. IF liquors are purchased here
and sold with general stock, then such sales
are to be included with and reported to the C0Aec-
tor on. the general return ofgoodS," &C., made
from, lst Mar, 1856, to. lst January, 1866.
'sIn collecting the tax on the sales Of cotton
made from lst May to 1st October. 1855, the Col
lector should look in general TO the PartE-Who
actually makes the sale; but, on past tr8nsae-
ton, if it is made plain that the seller was out
an agent, ant the owner who is benefited by the
sale is po4ated out, and is within the State, the
tax should be collected from the owner"
"The tax ou the value eff crude turpentine,
spirits of turpentine, and rosin, should be paid to
the collector of the District where the property
was located on lst October, 1865" =;
. "The capitation tax on male residents, applies
both 10 white residents and TO freedmen"
lsThe exemption from tax of lands and OF lots
and buildings in cities, towns, &c. that have been
in possession Of the Freedmen's Bureau during
the year is construed TO refer to sueb lands, lots,
&c, as were in possession Of said Dareau the
