Circular from Gencrai Howard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-General How
ard yesterday addressed a circular to the
Agents of the Aid Society, and officers and
Agents of the Freedmens Bureau, and to
pastors of colored peoples churches, in the
District of Columbia, saying 1t has been
reported to me that numbers of people
living in and around the District of Co
lumbia are at present coming to this city
and Georgetown, and others who have been
and procured homes North and West, are
to some extent spending what they have
earned in returning Washington. Destitu-
ton in this city is already considerable,
and is increasing, as You are all aware, on
account of the large number of employees
that have been discharged by the different
branches of the government, together with
the suspension of various industrial opera
tons, by reasons of the severity Of the
weather and from other causes. Please use
all the influence you can exert TO check
this immigration, and urge upon every
able,bodied man and woman out Of employ
meat the necessity of seeking homes in
other places. Advise them who are needy
to apply TO the Employment Agents in the
different parts of the city for assistance and
to procure places. "a q

NOON DISPATCHES
The JOhnsen-Sfanton Ahair-Baai
Faith Of Gen. Grant.

New YORK, Jan. 1S.-A Washington
special says il IL officially announced thst
the President will issue no orders to Stan
ton, and the latter can issue no orders By
the Presidents authority.
1t is alleged that at the Cabinet meeting
Friday, the members compared notes SIS 10
what took place at the meeting on Tuesday.
when Grant was present, and they agree
that Grant admitted the correctness of the
Presidents statement of an agreement be-
tween himself and Mr.. johnson, viz: that
Grant would hold on to the Office, or give
him timely notice to enable him to appoint
another Secretary. The President ex-
pressed himself Friday in the most posi-.
tive manner respecting the revolutionary
measures now being put through Congress,
If Congress so enacts as to deprive him of
any portion of his constitutional authority,
the Executive, who was as directly elected
by and as directly represents the people as
Congress does, may be expected to resist
such encroachment with sill the power at
his command. Hisright and duty as Com
mander-insChief of the army, of which it
is proposed to deprive him in the pending
reconstruction measures, are among the
chief prerogatives which Mr.. johnson will
consistently defend. Ea

SECRETARY STANTON AND IOE
JOFTNSTON's SVRRENDER


Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Herald, January -
Another instance Of the remarkable
dealings Of Secretary Stanton has tran
spired within a few days. II will be re.
membered that at the time the terms agreed
upon between Generals Sherman and Joe
Johnston, in 1865, suspending hostilities
between the contending armies, and ar.
ranging basis of peace, there was good
deal Of excitement created all over the
country, but particularly here in Wash
lngton. A Cabinet eounca was convened,
and after short deiiberation it was decided
TO disapproVe Of the terms offered by Gen.
eral Sherman, and that General Grant
should proceed Immediately TO Sherman's
headquarters and explain what we're the
wishes Of the President and his Cabinet.
This, am assured, was all that was agreed
Upon at the Cabinef council. The next
day, however, Stanton laid before the coun-
try the order adopted by the Cabinet, and
also long communication giving nine
reasons why Sherman's action was not APP
proved Of. These nine reasons were pub
lished over Mr.. Stanton's signature, and
were given in such an authoritative wav as
to create the Impression that they were the
reasons Of the President and all his Cabinet
why Skerman's agreement with Joe John
ston had been disapproyed have good
authority for stating that the frat knowledge
the President had that he or his Cabinet
had been actuated or Influenced by any
such reasons was conveyed to him by this
unauthorized publication Of Stanton. No
such reasons were ever before the Cabinet
council Of Mr.. johnson, either before or
after the issuance of the order of disap-
proval. This point Of assumption Of right
to speak for the whole Cabinet has been
brought before the attention of the Presi-
dent again Of late, and it is not improbable
may be among those that will be urged
against Stanton, should any new cause be
deemed necessary, to assign for his sus~
pension or removal. / should add that at
the time alluded to Stanton was heard to
say that he had "killed another General"
by the communication referred to.

am proud that such is the fact During
the war, ON the battle field We
showed our hatred TO treason and
traitors by enduring the dangers and
priyations of soldiers life in order that
the rebellion might be crushed. feel that
We are the conquerors, and that TO the con-
quered we can afford to be magnanimous.
And now that the war is over, our course
az legislators should be TO modify and bury,
if possible, the heart-burnings, the preius
dices, the bitterness and hatred engendered
during the war. We should frown down
all legislation that is for revenge, and In
stigated by hatred. We should cherish the
feeling that we are citizens Of one common
country, and Of that mighty republic whose
proud boast is that her influence is felt
wherever liberty Is loved and tyranny
hated. And with the honorable pride of
being citizens OF nation respected
throughout the world swelling in our
hearts, We should scorn TO descend to pro.
scriptive legislation for the sake of revenge,
and gratifying the feelings of bitterness

REPORT OF DIRECTORS OF PENTTEsTIARY.
A report of the Directors of the Peni-
Tertiary was transmitted and read to the
House. The report shows the total number
of convicts in the Penitentiary to be 510,
of whom 232 are confined for petit larceny.
The number of eonvicts has increased 200
within the past year, and is increasing al
the rate Of about one per day. The direc-
tors suggest the propriety of so amending
the penal laws of the State that minor
ofienses may be punished in the counties
in which convictions occur. They also
recommend an enlargement of the capacity
of the prison buildings.
