WAsHINGFoN, June 11.-Things have
quieted down once more. The local excite
ment IL subsiding. People can't be in a
tumult always. The courts are too tedious
to be sensational The Presidential ques-
tions wags on at its usual pace. Pendleton
is ahead, with a host of earnest Hancock
men to contest his pretensions. The action
of the Tennessee Democratic Convention
revives the mention of Andrew johnson.
1t is not thought, however, that he will
permit his name TO go before the New York
Convention. He expressed great satisfac-
tion that his own State had seen proper to
express preference for him.
1t is said that Chief Justice Chase is
gaining ground in the South. His late
visit to Richmond was not without effect,
if rumor is to be believed. Those who
represent his interests declare that he will
make a very emphatic showing at New
York on the 4th of July. 1t is still limited
that he meditates trip TO Europe. Gossip
also has it that he has urged the President
to pardon JEFF Davis. If this be true it
will certainly give him strength in the
South.
Grant was asked the other day what he
meant by having no policy to oppose the
will of the people. 81 meant" he
is reported to have replied, "that which
ever way Congress goes / will go for /
consider that Congress is the people"

House, after undergoing three hours exam
nation before the terrible Butler, whose
bearing toward the witness was offensive
and brutal. Many Of Woolley's friends
called to congratulate him to-day.
The statement that Pendleton will use
his influence for Chase in the event that he
cannot be nominated is utterly without
foundation Advices from Cincinnati
bring information that Pendleton ayows
his determination in that event to endeavor
to secure the nomination of Gen. Hancock.
Hancoc'S, il may be said, is great admir-
er of jendleton.
Senator Yates was bold enough to say
that his party demanded the recognition of
negro suffrage. 1t alarms all the Radicals
but Summer, who was highly delighted.
An attempt was made by Grants friends to
dissuade Yates from making the declara-
ton, but the Senator had steam up, and
was bound to let it off.
The Internal Revenue Department de-
