WASHINGTON, March l6.
Democrats in Favor.
The President is losing his amiability on
what he terms the prosecutions of the Senate
in rejecting nominees to office, and he yester-
day declared to certain Democratic Congress-
men who called on him that he should CON
tinue to appoint Democrats. He repeated his
infexible determination to nominate Demo
Gratis only to vacant positions.
Nominations,
The President has sent to the Senate the
nomination of Henry w. Tracy, of Bradford
county, Pa, as Surveyor of the port of Phila-
delphia, and Henry r. Linderman, Director of
the Mint; also, the name of Wickham Hof-
man, Secretary of Legation to France, vice
Hay, resigned, and John N. Dix, Assistant
Secretary of Legation, in place of Hoffman,
promoted.
An Impeachment.
General Fullerton, recently appointed Post
master of st. Louis, arrived here this evening
from that city, under subpoena to appear
before the House Judiciary Committee, and
testify in the matter of impeachment. 1t is
understood that General Fullerton is to give
evidence as to the return of property to
Southerners. The statement published few
days ago that General Fullerton had been
dodging the the subpnnas, was erroneous.
He was here for six days during the past three
weeks, every day visited Congress, and no
subpoena or notification to appear before the
Committee was mentioned to him. The writ
was sent to him at St. Louis, and he imme-
diately came here.
How the Negroes Will Vote.
The statements so confidently made in some
quarters that the votes of the freedmen in the
South will be cast for the so-called Rebel ticket,
are not in accordance with the information re-
ceived here. The fact is that ever since the
close of the war the freedmen have been or
ganized in loyal Union Leagues, through the
influence of the preachers in their churches,
the Northern teachers i'll their schools, and
the officers of the Freedmen's Bureau. Re-
Gently, since the white loyalists of the South
have adopted the negro suffrage plan of recon
structOn the freedmen S leagues have received
considerable accessions of members from that
class, and are in many cases controlled by
them. In Georgia nearly every county has a
thoroughly organized radical political society,
men vote against the Johnson party, as it is
caled;s.and throughout the whole South they
are under the sway of the most ultra radi-
Gals, and every preparation has been made by
them to proceed at once to assume control OF
the organization of new Governments when
the registration of another Supplementary
Reconstruction bill shall have become law.
RecOnstructIOn Ina Virginia.
The delegation appointed by the Legislature
of Virginia called yesterday on the Senate
Committee on the Judiciary. The interview
was of highly satisfactory character, and
the latter was assured of the earnest intention
of that State to return to her place in the
Union under the terms proposed by Congress
The delegation, just previous to their return
ing to Richmond, visited the President OF the
United States, who, according to thestatement
of one of the members of the delegation
said he was opposed to the OBJ
iect of their mission; that, Notwithstanding
his opposition to the Reconstruction bill, i
was now law of the land, and he should
faithfully execute it; that he thought the
Legislature had done right by promptly &C
cepting its terms, which he hoped would ten'
TO alleviate the bitterness produced by tn
late war, and at an early day restore TN
Southern States to all their relations to tn
Federal Government. 1t is now asceI
tanned that the stronger and controllin
members of the General Assembly of Virgins
with great unanimity, have determined not
have the State itself undertake the dificulte
of inaugurating, by an act of the State Legii
lature. Convention as provided for by tn
recent Military Reconstruction bill, apphcabl
