Mack, the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives an account Of
two recent conversations he has had with the
President, in which the latter expatiated on
the injustice that has been done him, especially
in the matter of the impeachment. We make
the following extract from this reported
conversations .#~5 ;
II asked the President if Butler hadn't ap,
piled to him in 1865 for a Cabinet Office.
NO." he said, "Butler himself never did,
but his friends did it for him. A strong
movement was made to get Butler in Stanton S
place, and because it didn't succeed Butler
has been pretty sharp after me ever since.
The idea was to put Butler In the War Office
as the first step toward recognizing the Demo
cratic party with such men as be the head of it..
asked the President if Forney wasn't on
the same tack with Butler in the matter OF
recognizing the Democratic party. Yes, !"
he said, che was and he (Forney) began to
grumble as early as December, 1864, just alter
the Presidential election, because Democrats
like himself had been negected and badly trea-
ted during Lincoln first ADM nistration. The
first thing he did was to write me letter, hop
ing that when came 10 the Vice Presidency
| would give him the control of some patron
age that he said belonged to the Office of Sec
rotary Of the Senate, but had of late years been
given to the Sergeant at arms. He hoped L
would chagne that. Then when / became
President he was still more importunate for
something or other that he wanted. He always
wanted something He thought he could take
charge Of me and control everything, and when
[ woudn't let him do that he quarreled with
me- Heis mighty small man to quarrel with,
but, if it was worth while, [ could very easily
show the motive of his opposition to me-.
The President also showed me letter from
Forney, dated January 7, 1865, in which the
writer hopes the admission of Tennessee and
Louisiana will not be embarrassed by, the ques-
ton Of negro suffrage, and doesn't see b ow
Northern men can vote to enfranchise the
illiterate negroes of the South, while in nearly
every State in the North the blacks are dis
francbised. " .:.' . i! -:a:s...r.-. .=e lea..,

The Connecticut election evidently is not
satisfactory to the Radicals--for, 10 addition
toothe increased majority obtained by Gov.
English the Conservative candidate, it is
thought that, notwithstanding the Radical
majority in the Legislature, there are some
members of that majority, who are considered
not to be Radical enough. .....,

A "DEAD HEART "A few days since a
marine, belonging to the Norfolk Navy yard
barracks, known to be subject to disease of the
heart, was taken suddenly i'll and was removed
to the Naval Hospital for treatment. About
twelve hours after the commencement of the
illness of the man, he died The suddenness
of the death led to a post norton examination,
when the heart of the deceased was found in o
condition of perfect Justification and enveloped

of Col. Grenfell and two of his prison compan-

The groom is agraduate Of HeideI-

bride is lady of this city. of one of
the best families, and poetess whose
writings are admirably remembered
throughout the South. A volume of fher
writings is now in the hands, of the
publisher, and will, SO Judges tell us,
afford a delicious feast to those of the
poetic art. Besides her poetic gift, she
has wonderful musical genius, and great

The party leaves in a short time for

1--WE. have to record the lamentable
fact that, on Monday night last, Maj. r.
B. Alexander, one Of the Oldest and most
worthy citizens of this county, commit
ated suicide by drowning himself in the
Mississippi river. This was the third
time during the past year that Major
Alexander had sought to destroy his
life, in this way. The first time was
from the wharfboat at this place. when
she was recovered by friends, and no one
then suspicioned but that he had fallen
into the river by accident. Some
smonths after this time he again made
the attempt, at which time he tied iron
weights to each wrist to insure the ac-
scomplishment Of his purpose-when he
was again rescued by friends. He
then made statement to this effect:
That the first time he fell into the river
was by. accident, but that he expert
eneed enough at that time to satisfy
himself, that drowning was the easiest
mode of death; that he was old and
weary of life of no benefit to himself
or family, that he was suffering severely
from wounds which be received in the
Mexican war, and that the older he grew
the worse his wounds became and that
it was to rid himself of these Affections
and to free the world of his useless and
helpless old age, that he had sought to
destroy his life. Since that time, which
was some months ago, his family and
friends had all become satisfied that he
was entirely dissuaded from the idea.
In the meantime be had been to town
several times transacting business, and
returned to his home in safety. On
Monday last he in town during all

men, but nothing wrong in his manner
was observable further than he spoke

about dark, and was understood to be

committed the fatal act. At ten o'clock
