Raleigh, March 8, 1857
News from Washington.

We copy the following from the Baltimore
Sun of the 5th:
"It appears to be settled that the present
session of the fortieth Congress shall not ex-
tend beyond this week; but this is to be
definitely settled in caucus of the republican
members tomorrow night.
No important legislation is to be attemp.
ted except the impeachment investigation,
which will undoubtedly be resumed and re-
ferred to committee, with power to pursue
the examination of witnesses during the re-
cess, and report at the next session, which
will likely commence on the first Monday in
October. ~
A struggle is in progress to get the matter
referred to the Judiciary committee, in con-
junction with an additional special commit
tee of six members. General Butler disap-
proves of the line of investigation pursued,
and the character of the testimony sought by
Mr.. Ashley. Gen. Butler thinks it futile to
be fishing for minnows when they should be
trying to catch whale, and therefore he will
move for an abandonment of petty charges
against Mr.. johnson, and urge q trial on
broader and less personal grounds, viz :
Usurpation of legislative power and the dis
position of the railroad interests in the South.
The latter proposition may be abandoned, as
it is shown that the railroad property was
disposed of under direction of Mr.. Stanton
and General Thomas.
In Cabinet session, to-day, the subject Of
the appointment of military comandants for
the five districts in the Southern States, ma
med in the military government act was con-
sidered. A complete list of these assign
ments was not decided upon, but it is un-
derstood that General Schofeld will have
command at the first, which includes Vir-
ginia, and General Hancock will take com.
mand of the fifth district, which includes the
States of Louisiana and Texas
The people of Virginia, it is stated, desire
the retention of Gen. Schofield in that dis
trict. The commandants of other districts
may be determined tomorrow, but pro-
badly not until the next meeting Of the cab
met" ',s
On the 9th instant, Mr.. Sumner introduced
bill in the Senate to guarantee a republi-
can government to each of the Southern
States, and to protect the loyal people Of the
South, accompanied by an oath for voters.
We learn that Judge Kelly, Of Pennsylya-
MIA, has introduced similar bill in the
House.
The Sherman and tenure of Office bills
have been officially published by the Ststs
department. 's'
There was to be Republican caucus on
the night of the 9th.

white man. 1t was on this theory that the
torch was applied to this beautiful city, and
millions of treasure given to the devouring
flames. 1t is on this theory that the very
air is rife with the rumor that a most strin-
gent confscation bill is now pending in
Washington, to be put into operation.
think, the people may be saved from this
threatened danger.
Gentlemen, l am deeply in earnest on this
subject have been panied, in the last fif-
teen months, to see the irritating causes
which have produced this legislation at
Washington. have tried to discourage
them. My efforts have been turned into rid
icule, and defamation has followed the best
intended acts. If punishment could fall on
those who have provoked the trouble, there
would be few regrets. But this cannot be
the innocent must also suffer. If there is any
truth IN human testimony, three fourths of
the men OF Virginia farmers mechanics
and merchants as well disposed as any
people in the nation. The causes of irrita-
ton come from comparatively few. The
masses earnestly desire peace and its bless
ings, and have no sympathy with those
restless agitators and disturbers of the pub
lie peace.
think the only proper mode of securing
safety and tranquility to the State, is for the
Legislature, on the basis of the above act of
Congress. in good faith, to carry out the re-
| quirements of the law, and adapt ourselves
to the new state of affairs at once. have
confidence that our colored people will quiet
ly, assume the new privileges conferred on
them, and act very much alike those who
now enjoy the franchise, by voting for their
friends. 1t is proper that the proposed con-
vention shall be ordered by the General AS
sembly. Any other mode would he irregu-
lar, and may be productive of disorder and
result in the worst consequences. 1t may be
distasteful to the members of the General
Assembly. But personal considerations can
not, and ought not to be allowed to have
any influence in this case: you are represen-
tatives. The fortunes and happiness of a
million of people may depend on your
prompt action. The question is not what is
pleasant or distasteful to you, but what does
the interest and welfare of your constituents
and State demand at your hands2 I hope
you will not shrink from responsibility, but

We copy the following horrible article
from the last Richmond Examiner:
"The commitment of the destinies ofthese
States into the hands of Hundreds of thou
sands of ignorant, deprived blacks, utterly
incapable of comprehending political prin-
ciple, without any training, and devoid of
any qualification, was designed to have the
.effect of making desolation OF the South
ern States. Those who framed the villainy
desired to see repeated here the horrors Of
Hayti. 1t would delight the heart Of the
Republican leaders to see every Southern
city in flames, and every hearth desoIate !;
every Southern parent and every Southern
child starving, and the entire population
given over to the unbridled rage and pas
sions of drunken mob. That is what Nj.
Stevens, and Mr.. Summer, and Mr.. Wildon,
and Mr.. ShellabargeF, and Mr. Wade, are
laboring for, and have assiduously labored
for, for four years past. We can prevent y
-and prevent it alone by perfect harmony,
Let our political enemies be our personal
enemies, our social enemies, our business ene-
mics Let US concentrate and consoli-
date our strength, waiting for Gods gs,od

desperate as that OF the victims OF the French
prototypes Of the American Jacobins and II
we be watcllful, avail ourselves sf every OPP
portunity, fold not our arms and drift to de-
struction, We shall one day settle some scorea
that grow very long these weary months.

THE ALEXANDRIA MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
At the election in Alexandria on Tuesday,
for Mayor, there were three candidates, viz:
Hugh Latham, the present incumbent, VIM.
Fl. Marbury, nominated at a mass conyen-
ton of citizens on Monday night, and
George R. Tucker. the nominee of the radi-
Gals and colored people. The total white
vote polled was 1851, of which Latham re-
ceived 432, Marbury 800, and Tucker &c.
The colored vote, which was refused by the
regular commissioners, but which was taken
by commissioners Of their own appointment,
consisting of two white men and two color
ed men stationed at each election precinct,
amounted to 1888, all of them being cast for
Tucker. The radicals intend to contest the
election before the courts and before Con-
gress, they claiming that under the recon-
struction bill lately passed by Congress the
negroes were entitled to vote. Governor
Peirpoint, who was in Washington at the
time, gave it as his opinion that the negroes
were entitled to vote The opinion upon
which the commissioners of election acted
was that negroes could not vote until the
State had been reconstructed by conven-
ton called under the provisions of this bill.

THE END OF FWNTER.-Professor Loomis,
Of Yale College, says that the average tenn
perature in the month of February was seven
degrees higher than the average OF the same
month for eighty years, and that it counter
balanced the unusual GOODNESS of December
and January, SO that the winter, on the
whole, has been an average one, and spring
opens with no back accounts to make up.

We have nothing to say about or against
Mr. Hutchison, one of the Commoners from
Mecklenburg; but We have been struck with
the following extract from the last Charlotte
Times:
=" Mr.. Hutchison has proved himself an useful,
industrious and attentive member, and merits the
paudit, well done thou good and faithful SER
want" He looks quite well and encourages all
to bear up and submit to our fate with fortitude
We were much gratified to know that he has not
been frightened from his propriet,, and still
stands where he has always stood, on the eide of
his country"
The question is, which country l-the
South, or the United States of America?
If Mr.. Hutchison, and all other citizens
holding similar views, will now submit un-
conditionaly, and bend all their energies to
the restoration of the Union on q basis ac-
ceptable to Congress, they will do much to
atone for the errors of the past, and will
nave the consolation of knowing that they
nave proved themselves true to the only
country We have, or ought to have.

GENERAL GRANTS POSITION. WASH
ington correspondent of the Boston Adoer-
tiscr writes as follows in his letter of the 25th
instant :: ....
"The fate of the reconstruction bill at the
hands of the President is not yet certain,
though the prevalent opinion is that a veto
will be sent in tomorrow, or on the follow
ing day at the furthest General Grant does
not hesitate to say very frankly and pointed
ly that it would be advisable for the Presi-
dent to give it his signature. At an inter-
view with the Secretary of the Treasury
this morning he asked the Secretary what
the President would do with it, would he
sign it :? The Secretary evasiyely answered
that he did not know. The President had
not said what course he would pursue. The
General remarked with much earnestness:
II hope he will sign it. / think it would be
we'll for him to do So" The Secretary again
said he could not tell what the Presidents
purpose was, adding: 4" He takes time to
look into the whole question before acting"
General Grant thereupon responded: Do
you think he is open to convictions Would
my opinion have any weight with him 2 l
don't want to bore him if he has reached his
decision, but very much hope he will sign
the bill" Some further conversation was
had, showing General Grants strong desire
for harmonious action between the President
and Congress. Whether he took occasion to
see the President on the subject is not
known"
