WASHINGTON.
Protestant WOrsIi1o in Rome.
The Visit OF the Virginia Delega-
ton to the President.

WASHINGTON, March Is.
The President to-day communicated to the
House letter from Minister King dated Feb.
IL, IN which he repeats the statement of facts
already published, from official and unofficial
sources, in reference to the reports of the ex-
cluson of American Protestant worship from
Rome. In conclusion he says: "a solution of
the difficulty has been suggested This is to
purchase or hire building for term of years
for legation purposes, including ample accom-
mediation for chapel, and under such an ar
rangement there would be no further question
as to the right of American Protestants to as
semble for public worship within the walls of
Rome, while an official residence might be pro-
vided suitable to the position of the American
representative at the Papal Court, one not un-
worthy the character, dignity and influence of
the American Government and people,"
The delegation appointed by the Virginia les
islature called yesterday on the Senate Com
mttee on the Judiciary The interview was
OF highly satisfactory character, and the latter
were assured that it was the earliest 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 statement
of one of the members of the delegation, said
that he was opposed to the object of the mis-
sion, that notwithstanding his opposition to
the reconstruction bill it was now law and he
should faithfully execute it, and that he thought
the legislature had done right by promptly &C
cepting the terms which he hoped would tend
to alleviate the bitterness produced by the late
war and at an early day restore the Southern
States to all their relations to the Federal gov
eminent.
Senior Don Farcendo Goui, the newly accre-
