Tennessee delegation in Congress waited upon him
in body to present their congratulations, and to
ask him to use his influence to continue the opera
tons of the Freedmen s Bureau in the States Of
Tennessee and Kentucky after the 18th Of Febru.
ary next at which time by order Of the President,
it ceases in those States. Mr.. Stanton replied,
that so long as he had any power, he would use
it to protect the weak, and would do his best to
have the request carried out He further stated
that it would be few days before matters would
commence to run right in his Office.
AS the Tennessee delegation were withdrawing,
they were met by General Grant in the hall. Al,
ter exchanging salutations with them and General
Howard who was present, and expressing satlstac-
ton at the action of the Senate in restoring Mr..
Stanton, he walked towards the Secretary office,
when the latter appeared at the door and shook
the General warmly by the hand, and both passed
in.
It is understood that Geperal Grant and Mr..
Stanton were closeted together on Monday evening,
after the passage of the Senate resolution.
During the interview between General Grant and
Mr.; Stanton, General Dent transferred his desk
to Gen. Pelouze, who had occupied it during the
latter part of Mr.. Stanton's former administration
of the Department, and General Hardie gave up
his position to General Shriver.
At few minutes past three o'clock all order was
issued by Mr.. Stanton informing the employees
of the War Department that he, Mr.. s., had a.
gain taken possession of the portfolio CT the War
Office" -..
\ 1t is understood that the President in no way
recognizes Mr.. Stanton, and it is con6dentially
stated that charges of insubordination hang over
Grant.

THE PRESIDENT AND STANTON.

In our issue of last week, We published the res
olution Of the Senate, adopted on Monday of last
week, refusing to concur in the suspension by
President JOHNSON, of L. NJ. STANTON, the Sec
retary of War Shortly after the passage of the
resolution certified copies of the action of the Sen
ate in reference to the matter were furnished tho
President, General GRANT and STANTON. STAN
TON took possession of the War Office, on Tuesday
morning, which is thus described by the Nationa
Mtelligencer:
cat nine o'clock on Tuesday last, General Gran
came to the War Department as usual, and, afte
arraScing some papers, locked the door Of the pri
vate Office of the Secretary of War, and, taking thu
kew with him, proceeded to the Headquarters o.
the Army, nearly opposite to the war department. mel
About half past 10 O'Clock, MIR. Edwin NJ. Stan
ton appeared at the War Department, and pro
ceeded Immediately to the office usually occupied
by the Secretary Of War. Finding the door locked
he took seat in the ante-room, where ne was the
recipient of many warm congratulations from Sen
ators and members of the House OF Representa-
tives, who had assembled apparently to see what
would take place.
Upon the arrival of Mr. Stanton, Gen; Dent
the Acting Adjutant- General of General Grant as
Secretary of War all interim, hurried over to the
Headquarters of the Army to inform Zen. Grant
of the fact and to obtain the key to the Secretary
office. In few minutes he returned, and placed
the key in the hands of Adjutant-G General Town
send, who, in a sort of present arms style' de-
livered it up to Secretary Stanton.
AS soon as the re-instated Secretary was fairly
ensconced in his Office, the Radical members Of the

THE REMOVAL OF GOVERNOR JENKINS

1t appears from correspondence which we tinc
in the Georgia papers, that General MEAD's &C
ton in removing Governor JENKINS, and tho
Treasurer of Georgia, was based solely upon the
refusal of the Governor and Treasurer to defray
from the Treasury, the expenses of the convention
now sitting in Atlanta.
A private dispatch received at Augusta, from
Miledgevile, says that General RUGER and Cap
tain ROCKVILLE have taken charge of the execu'
tive and treasury departments of Georgia, in ac
cordauce with Gen. MEADEs orders, and have en-
tered on the duties of their respective depart
ments. The dispatch adds that Captain Rock
VILE has taken charge of an empty treasury, the
funds having been previously removed"
On the 10th instant-just previous to his sus
pension-Governor JENKINS issued an order sus.
pending the collection of all State taxes up to the
10th of May. The old law authorized such sus'
pension, and the Convention, by resolution a.
dopted in December last, requested him to use his
power for that purpose. The effect of this sus,
pension will be to forbid the collection of the tax
imposed by the Convention for the payment Of its
expenses
Governor JENKINS is expected to arrive at Au-
,snsta- his home, in few days. azs.--------------

REMARKABLE GAME OF MARBLES.

Honorable S. R. Mallory, Ex-Secretary of the
Confederate Navy, has recently published in a
Florida paper, series of "Pen and Ink Sketches
of the days of the Southern Confederacy. Hemen-
tions an interesting incident, connected with the
retreat southwark of Mr.. Davis and his Cabinet,
after the capitulation of General Johnston, which
occurred at the.residence of Colonel A. BAXTER
SPRINGS, in this District The writer says:
'The party had stopped, by invitation, for rest,
at the residence of gentleman, not far from the
Catawba River. His dwelling, beautifully situated
and surrounded by ornate and cultivated grounds,
was reached about four O clock P. NJ, and the
charming lady of the mansion, with that earnest
sympathy and generous kindness which Mr.. Davis
in misfortune never failed to receive from Southern
women, soon made every man OF the party forget
his cares and feel, for time at least 'oer all the
ills Of life victorious.
After such slight renovation and changes Of
their travel-soed toilets as circumstances permit,
ted, and an hour of refreshing rest it was nove
sight to see Mr.. Davis and MIR. Reagan, with a
little son of their kind host as theiray, playing
animated and we'll contested game of marbles a.
gainst his second son, boy of some ten years. sup
ported by General Breckinridge and another Cabi:
net officer The game lasted nearly an hour; and
notwithstanding the skill ofhisopponents, Breckin,
ridge, who plays the best game OF marbles OF any
leading public man since Judge Marshall, and who
had his usual good luck, came OF victorious.
The youngsters, two bright, intelligent Southern
boys, will never forget that ardenty disputed game
of marbles with Mr.. Davis, who, to their infinite
delight, seemed as much at home with oil the
words of caution and command, from ''knuckle
down at taw" to 'troundings, as themselves. "

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.


Striped" the Mercury is publishing racy sketches
of the members composing the Convention, now in
session in Charleston. For the information of our
many readers in Chester, we publish mo. A. Of
the series, which is devoted to the delegation from
that District:
l. Sancho Sanders-sometimes but erroneous
", called Sancho Panza Sanders, negro, headed
the ticket. He is about sixty years of age, and by
profession preacher Baptist. He formerly be-
[onged to the late Rev. James Lowry, of Chester
District. In slavery times Sancho ofhciated as
carriage driver for his MASTER and as preacher for
all who chose to listen to him. Like most negro
preachers, he was wolf in Sleeps clothing, and
did not hesitate, when opportunity presented, to
prostitute his calling to the prosecution OF most
unworthy ends. The most signal blot on his char
acter is an event which occurred over twenty years
ago. when the Reverend Sancho was prosecuted
for stealing hog from neighbor His master
compounded for the offence by paying the owner
for the hog And the neighbors administered
sound Aogging upon his back. Since his emanci-
patton he has continued to live on the fat of the
land, by preaching to his misguided followers the
sword. He was elected by so large a vote from the
fact that the Baptists made nomination of tick
ct, at the head of which was Sancho, followed by
the names of some of his brother Baptists Now
the blacks in that section are nearly all Baptists or
Methodists The Methodist desiring to be repre-
sented in the great convention nominated ticket,
at the head Of which, from policy, they put San
cho, and the two other Methodists and that ticket
was elected.
2. Barney Crenshaw alias Burton, native of
York District; and formerly the slave of DR.. E. A.
Crenshaw He also is preacher (Methodist. y
Barney has only been in Chester since the war. He
is said, by those who know him, to be more def
cient in mental endowments than our colored pub
lie men usually are, and but for his ecclesiastical
character, it is thought he could not have procur
ed the nomination and election to his present dis
tinguished position in the State He cannot do
much harm, being too dull even for mischief. Bar
ney is about forty years of age.
s. Purvis Alexander was born in Chester Dis
trct, and is about twenty-seven years old, "ike-
ly' fine looking mulatto. He was owned by the
late r. L. Kennedy. Purvis is blacksmith by
trade, and before he went into the constitution
making business, enjoyed character for honesty
and industry. He processes to be "Conserva-
tive" and doubtless, is so as far as is compatible
with his color and his ambition. He is decidedly
the most respectable member of the Chester dele
cation. He has been in the North and West since
the war, and has learned considerably. He cx-
presses himself in favor of sharing the government
with the whites, and denounces that policy which
would exclude them from all part in it. His
character, we believe, has always been good.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

In the Senate, on the l4th instant, resolution
gradually reducing the army; a Bill to removing
political disabilities from Governor Patton, of Ala
bama and Bill restoring lands conGscated by
States lately in rebellion, were introduced.
In the House, the Committee of Ways and
Means reported the Cotton Tax Bill as amended
by the Senate, with Resolution of non-concur
renee The report was adopted. Thisnecessitates
Reconsideration of the points of difference between
the two bodies by Committee of Conference, and
We presume some compromise will be speedily ef:
fected between the two propositions, that Of the
House contemplating the unqualified repeal Of the
tax, commencing with the crop of this year, whilst
the Senate's amendment simply suspends the tax
on cotton grown this year, and reserves the right
to renew it hereafter.
The Speaker read communication from Gene.
raj Grant, covering the following from General
Meade:
"Unless the pending Bill in Congress directing
the Military Commanders to fill the Offices in theil
Departments recnds the test oath, in the provision
to select qualified voters, | am informed that its
execution in this Department will be entirely i'm
practicable"
In the Senate, on the 18th, the chair presented
a memorial from the Mississippi Board of Rcgistra
ton, setting forth the general destitution. The
memorial says that if something is not done soon
the government must provide large burying
ground.
In THE HOUSE, the Committee on Public Lands
reported adversely on the bill giving negroes lane
under the homestead law.
Mr.. Butler gave notice Of an amendment declar
ing all offices vacant, and authorizes the conven
tions to fill them, and making it the duty Of the
District Commanders to install the conventions ap
pontees
On the 10Th, in the Senate the cotton tax came
up for consideration. A motion was made tina
the Senate recedefrom its amendments and insert
proviso exempting the imported article from dut.

izing the Treasury Department was introduced
and referred to the Finance Committee. Severa
matters of minor importance were discussed, whe1
the deficiency appropriation bill forthe Reconstruc
ton acts ETC., was taken up and passed, will
some amendments. After an Intellectual attemp
to resume the consideration of the cotton tax, tn
