WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The Sem
ate, on the motion Of Mr.. Harlan, nom
concurred in the House amendments to
the bill appropriating $4,000 for the
tenn porary relief of the destitute popula-
ton of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Wilson called up the bill to pro-
vide for the sale, by the Secretary of
War, of lands, tenements and water
privileges belonging to the United States
at or near Harper's Ferry. The Com
mittee on Military Affairs recommended
an amendment donating certain portions
of the lands to the college chartered by
West Virginia. The amendment was
agreed to and the bill passed.
The President, in course of reply to
the delegation of citizens of Maryland
who waited on him to-day, to present
resolutions relative to the rights of
American citizens abroad, said 81 shall
not attempt on set terms or set phrases
to respond to the remarks which you
have made in reference TO the condition
of affairs at present agitating the public
mind. The presentation of such kind
sentiments and encouragement which
they give, constrain me, however, to say
that they afford me qualification which
words are inadequate to express. Such
assurances at this time give me
strength and courage In the fierce
conflict which now prevails around
us. Pointing you to the past, as an
index Of what my future CONDUCT will
be, / beg of you to feel that in al honest
effort to faithfully discharge the high
aud important duties imposed on me
by the Constitution and the laws, | will
consider no personal sacrifice too great
for me to bear. Such a great principle
cannot be compared with the great object
attained, that ofpreserving the principles
of our republic by a strict adherence to
the Constitution and the laws made in
accordance with its provisions. God
being willing, / will perform my duty,
let the consequences be what they may.
From my advent in public life, now some
thirty years ago, TO the present time,
have passed through many ordeals in my
struggle for the interests of the people
and never have for a moment swerved
from the straight line OF duty. car
sincerely declare there has never been
as yet an occasion when, having been
assigned to duty, ! have abandoned ny
post. I rely now, as in the past, upor
the intelligence and the patriotism Of tbs
America people, who, 1 believe, vii

NORTH CAROLINA.

RALEIGH, February 27.-The Conven-
ton yesterday spent most Of its session
in personal explanations. NM. "a &
The State Radical Convention to
nominate candidates under the new
Constitution met yesterday. 'A
Ex-Governor Holden was nominated
for Governor, Col Heaton for Congress
from the Newbern district
Hendricks offered the following reso-
luton; - 81 rIE7 10 3E-U A ~
Resolred, That no person shall receive
from this Convention nomination on
the State ticket who is disqualified to
hold office, either by the reconstruction
act of Congress, or by the 18th article oil
the Constitution Of the United States.
Hedrick urged the passage of the res
olution on the ground that reconstruc.
tisn should be in the hands Of those who
did not need to be pardoned for partic
ipating in the rebellion, and that the law,
and Constitution of the United State
were in force in North Carolina. tn,
friends of Holden, who is disqualified
under the laws for his prominent partici
pationin the war, refused to entertain
the resolution, and it was laid on the table
Captain Lee, the Holden candidate TO
Sheriff of Wake county, virtually move'
to expel Hendricks from the Convention
for offering this resolution; but q. tn
instance Of Colonel Heaton, the matte
was dropped. ~

by Stanton and his friends by actual in
vestigation.
Even the Chronicle, this morning,
while enormously charging that Mr..
johnson applied to General Emory and
subordinate officers, in command of the
Department Of Washington, admits that
all these officers have made known their
intention to be governed by the orders OF
General Grant; and that paper adds that
Mr.. johnson has absolutely not q single
military officer or man to stand by the
Executive.
rHE PRESIDENTS INTENTIONS.
Notwithstanding this showing by the
opponents Of Mr.. johnson themselves,
the story is kept up that the President is
about to perform some startling, indie
Enable coup detat Upon the authority
of the President. and upon information
derived from an original and legitimate
source among his adversaries, this
morning, I can state unqualifedly that
Mr.. johnson has not, directly or indi-
recty, called for or intimated his pur-
pose of resorting to military aid in
the execution of his orders in the re-
moval Of Stanton and the appointment
of Thomas ad interim. Every act
that he has thus far performed has been
within the civil law, as he and Attorney
General Staubery understand the mat
ter, and there would be no more author
ity of law for calling upon the military,
through Grant or any of his subordi-
mates to aid in the enforcement Of orders
thus far made in connection with the
War Department controversy, than there
would be in calling for the military in
the first instance to enforce the judg-
ment of civil court in favor of cred
itor against debtor.
CALCULATIONS.
Speculation is turned to the Senate,
and many declare that two-thirds vote
cannot be had to convict Johnson, and
this belief, it is said, keeps gold down.
Others declare that in three weeks john
son will be out of Office.
THE NEW STATE.
One of the evening papers, confident
of this, talks about Mr.. Wade's Cabinet,
and prints the following names as likely
to be selected:
Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts,
Secretary of State. $50
Freeman Clarke, of New York, Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
Secretary of the Navy.
Frederick Douglass, of New York,
Secretary of the Interior.
John N. Langston, of Ohio, Postmaster
General.
W. H. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, At
torney General.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War
of course.

softly. " He had not been thinking
of Lucy; it was not Lucy for whom

ceiving what she meant; and then all
at once Lottie fell a crying, but not
for sorrow.
That was how 1 always deceived

money to help them" A pack of

course, they will all, even the ship

door, getting into her fine carriage
with the fnc bays, and she was very
affable to me. 10 her opinion it was
all Ada's fault. What can man

spends all his money before it is

carriage; and | found it little hard
to keep my temper. But the Greshams
and their story, aud all the brief
