No Definite Assignment, OF the Presidents Po-
sitiou.
WASHINGTON, February 20, 1867.

WASHINGTON, February ~, 1857.
II does not seem that even the most in
innate friends Of the President have au-
thority to assign for him any definite posi-
ton on the exciting topics of the present
hour. It cannot DO long before he will
publicly promulgate his disposition and in
tcntions, hut whether he will do that be-
fore the presentation Of his next message
is very doubtful II will not be necessary
for him now to veto any bill which does
not meet with his approval. All ne VIII
have to do will simply be to pocketlt; put
that. in case Congress should agree upon
any Of the various propositions now before
II, would be considered the impeachable
offence. and his trial would dss,uedly take
Mace, Impeachment is held as a threat
t. compel the President to sign the bin
for restoring the southern States which
may pass Congress, and although different
assertions and any quantity of specula-
tons are made as to what he will do, there
has been no authoritative statement made
in either way.
Snow, rain, and slush are predominant ID
Washington. The streets are In horri-
BILE condition. Pneumonia is very preVa-
lent, and several deaths from that disease
have been reported lately. ilaoN'

RICHMOND, VA, February II, 1867.
communication just received gives an
occonnt of fragrant outrage by rebels on
:" Tnion man in North Carolina, who was
Sormarly United States recruiting officer,
named Massey, who went recently TO
Waypesyille to settle an account with q
man named Wilbar. While they were set
Ting, the sheriff, Frank Davis, gathered
gang of rebels and went TO take Massey.
He saw them coming, and ran through Will
bars diuing-room to get away. Al a SNORT
distance from the house the gang hred on
him but missed him. After two shots had
been fired, he turned and fired one, which
missed the crowd, but passing through
Wilbar's dining-room, struck Milne Under
wood in the hip at the front door. Forty
shots were fred at Massey without effect
The sheriff, understand, says that ne VIII
call out the county to take Massey. III ne
attempts such thing there will be more
dreadful time there than has ever Deeh
seen. 1t appears that Massey's only crime
was passing recruits for the Union army
through the line during the war, for Which
he now stands indicted. His friends have
appealed to the United States authorities
for protection, and are preparing to defend
themselves.

AN AR1srocRACY FOR AMERICA.

A foreign correspondent writes that 1t
seems great pity that America has no
titled aristocracy-they are SO useful,
England, he writes, has duke who is
capital volunteer fireman, and marquis
who spends his leisure as volunteer
policeman, arresting beggars and bring
ing vagabond children before the sitting
magistrates. Recently he had a hard
tussle with a sturdy beggar, and both
were rolling in the mud together, when
a regular policeman came to the assist
ance of the marquis, and the prisoner
was taken to Bow Street Bat the most
brilliant and successful effort Of the arts
tocracy to redeem and embellish society
has been effected by noble orchestral
band, the Wandering Minstrels," of
whom Hon. Seymour Egerton is condue-
tor Under the patronage of royalty and
nobility, they give charity concerts in
various parts of the kingdom, with gui-

New York, February PA City of
Mexico correspondent says on the evac-
uation of the Capitol by the French,
Marquee declared martial law. The
United States Consul inquired of him if
some of the provisions of his proelama-
ton, which we're more than unusually
strict, applied to American citizens, but
received no answer.
A Washington special says that the Ju-
dietary Committee viii visit Surratt in
Jail and take such testimony as he will
give regarding the completely of jeff
Davis with the assassination of Lincoln
If he gives any testimony it will be
voluntary, as they cannot force him to
testify. Surratt's counsel have advised
him to give no testimony.
Parties are in Washington to testify
to the restoration Of plantations, seized
as abandoned property, to pardoned reb-
els BY President johnson at a time when
the crops belonged to the lessees, thus
ignoring contracts and iniicting great
losses upon Union.
Nav YoRK, February 22.-The special

Union soldiers, have found the convie-
ton just one, and condemn their dis

THE TEST OATH.

1t viii be remembered that few days
ago the Supreme Court ofthe District Of
Columbin decided that it would not be
bound by the recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court, declar-
ing the test oath for attorneys
unconstitutional, and refused to ad-
NIT lawyer to practice unless
he subscribed the oath. 1t is now
reported shat the counsel for Mr..
Magruder, the lawyer, in whose behalf
the motion to set aside the test oath was
made, intends to carry the case up to
the Supreme Court, basing their action
upon the ground that the Justices of the
District Supreme Court have been
guilty of contempt of the United States
