Interesting Proceedings.

The Fortress Monroe correspondent
of the New Yook Times, writing Jan.
uary Sth, says n elli @b49J
The long tall1ed.o cane prepared by
the ladies of a Catholic Church in Nor
folk, month or so ago, was yesterday
(the 7th presented to jeff Davis, in
his quarters in Carroll Hall, by gen
tleman named John O.. Gramage, a
resident of the city, who won the hon
or at public rattle. The cane, which
has been previously described, is made
of piece of oak taken from the rebel
ram Merrimac and is surmounted by
massive gold head, on which is in
scribed an appropriate legend, with
the name OF the ex-P President. Mr.,
Carnage arrived here yesterday morn
ing, with the committee on presenta-
ton, and, after the usual preliminaries,
was admitted to the quarters of Mr.
Davis. After short conversation on
different subjects, he produced the
cane from velvet lined box and said:
Mr.. Davis: by, chance, sir, it has
become my very pleasant duty to pre-
sent you this cane 1t is a token of
respect and esteem from the ladies of
the Catholic Congregation of the city
of Norfolk. Be pleased to accept it,
with its noble motto: "The offering
of one--the tribute of many" And
may 1t ever serve as the faithful re- 4
hinder of its fair donors.
Mr.. Davis accepted the beautiful
gift in brief and feeling reply. He
alludded to the kindness of the peonle
Of tho ovuth 70 MIN curing has prison
life, especially the kindness, constancy
and patriotism of the people of Nor
folk, and said he had often had the
pleasure ofreceiving tokens of their
esteem. He requested Mr.. Carnage |
to extend to the ladies' of the Catholic |
Church his grateful acknowledgment |
of their beautiful gift, intimating that
further acknowledge its re-
ception by letter. The party passed
. pleasant hour in conversation with
Mr.. Davis and his lady, and at its
parted company, express
ng the hope that the new year might
le more full of hope and happiness to

The gentlemen composing the
committee Of presentation were well

hat the health of Mr. Davis was
much better than had been represented

Gen. o. 0. Howard Of the Freed
mans Bureau has been figuring to as
certain the number of negroes now
alive in the Southern States. Stanton
recently received the result of his Ia
bors, in letter which has been fur
nished the radical press fc~ r''h'i"a-
ton. Comparing his estimates with
the returns of the census of 1860, it
appears that in North Carolina, Lonis-
lana and Florida the number of blacks
remains very nearly the same. There
is decrease in Georgia of nearly Co.
600, in Virginia of $4,000, in South
Carolina of 1000, in Missouri of 49,
600, in Mississippi Of 1900, and in
Arkansas of 900. The only States
in which an increase is reported are
Texas and Tennessee, the gain in each
being about 1900.

Gen. 1irant.s Opinion.

Gen. Grant being the chief military
officer of the nation, considerable inn
portance is always attached to what he
says--indeed very unnecessary and
unwarl anted importance, in our opin-
ion. But nevertheless, as anxiety is
always manifested to know what Grant
thinks, we must give the gist of his
views as expressed to the Arkansas
delegation in Washington the other
day. The General declined IN give
any opinion as to the justice, constitu-
tionality or expediency of the Consti-
tutional amendment, but said he would
like for at least one Southern State,
as an experiment, to see If their SEN
ators and representatives would be
admitted to seats in Congress, at the
same time expressing the opinion that
they would be admitted. He also
stated that, at the commencement of
Congress he urged upon prominent
members that, if they intended to
make the adoption ON the part of the
Southern States of the amendment as
the condition precedent to readmis-
sion, they ought to pass resolution
to that effect, solemnly pledging Con-
gress to receive the senator's and rep
resentatives into that body. If they
did not take some such step, they
could not expect the Southern people
to take step that might be prelim-
mary to Others that would lead they
knew not where. He did not believe
Congress had any right to interfere
with the suffrage question, and en-
phatically declared that if the question
come up in Illinois, and he were there
to vote, he would certaily vote
against it, but he said something to
the effect of that, and if he were in one
of the Southern States he believed he
would vote for it, for he was satisfied
he could march the negroes up to the
polls and vote them as he pleased,
and would thus be gaining instead of
osing political power.
These are the chief points of his
with the Arkansians at
Stewards dinner table. They sound
very well, and appear encouraging to {
he Administration party, but after all
We don't believe ''what Grant says on
,olitics amounts to much---not more

The HEAD CENTER AND HIS SUCCESS
soR.-At meeting of Fenian centers
and delegates in New York on the Sth,
letter was read from Mr.. Stephens,
stating that he was surprised and in
-dignant at the recent action of the
centers and delegates, and the reports
in the daily papers as to his detection.
He denies having deserted the organi-
cation, refuses to be disposed, and
means to fulfill his promises before
long. He promises an explanation.
Gen. Gleason, who is to supply
Stephens place in the Fenian organi-
cation, was born in Tipperary, and
connected in early life with insurrec-
tionary movements in Ireland. He
fought in the Italian army, and after
ward joined the Goth New York regi-

CONGRESSMAN WIFE IN TROUBLE.
The telegraph says, "Mrs. Annie Ash
ley the wife of Mr.. Ashley, Radical
member of Congress, has been arrest
ed, charged with threatning to shoot a
woman who gave the name of Martha
Cunningham. The complainant al
leges that Mrs. Ashley, threatened to
shoot her if she saw her walking with
Mr.. Ashley, M. c., and afterward said
that she would shoot her wherever she
meet her."
Poor Annie. She has trouble, too.
While her husband is impeaching
Andrew Johnson for turning out radi-
cal officers, she is engaged in the more
noble and Christian work of shooting
prostitutes, with whom this pure
patriot is wont to congregate.
A year or two ago, Ashley's friends
in his Congressional District, openly
charged him with bribery, perjury and
theft. There is scarcely doubt but
that these charges only told half the
truth. In proof of which we refer to
this broken-hearted and abandoned
and abused wife.-Cairo Democrat.

The telegraph during the past few
days has given the outline Of sundrJ
bills now pending in Congress. On,

Union soldiers, who would have com,
piled with Lincoln's proclamation Of
December 1868, il opportunity had
presented, and who did not voluntarily
give aid and comfort to the war, living
in the South during its existence, to
call conventions, accept the radical
terms proposed by Congress, adopt
new constitutions, appoint election
commissioners and send such men to
Congress as will swallow all radical
measures and disfranchise the great
mass of the Southern people. Ac-
cording to this new project partial
laws regarding race and color are to
be wiped out; free schools without
distinction of color established (;
Confederate naval and military officers
excluded from office the Con-
federate debt to be ignored and claims
for loss from emancipation OF negroes
not entertained. 1t further pro-
vides that the Southern States shall be
purged of disloyalty; that the con-
stitution must be ratified by majority
of loyalists and even then representa-
tives shall remain outside until
those in authority permit them
to enter. Then 4 it further
provides that in case the States de-
cline to accept these terms, they shall
