Special Correspondence of Louisville Courier.l
WASHINGTON, February l9.-Congress
called on the President to-day for the
Johnson-Sherman correspondence. This
is quick work. as Sherman's letter only
reached the President at noon to-day,
couched in terms kind and respectful,
and asks that the order assigning him to
the new command be revoked. This re.
quest is common among officers. Nc
Dowell, lately ordered to command in
Mississippi, asked to be allowed to re-
main in California. Such requests are
very common, and Sherman will receiEe
due consideration.
As to the brevet nomination, the Pres
ident says he feels not the slightest in
terest beyond wishing to pay deserved
compliment to his distinguished military
services. If the Senate returns the nom
ination it will be cancelled. AS to the
power to create the department, the
President alone exercises it. He cre-
ated all the present military departments,
and can change at pleasure.
During conference with the Presi-
dent to-day, healuded to the recent
movement of Congress for the immediate
admission of Alabama, and said this
movement, disregarding as it did the re-
construction laws, was virtual acknowl-
edgement that the Congressional policy
was a grand failure; fact which ought
to have been admitted long ago, and the
States restored to their political rights.
He says he looks with favor on the con-
fession of past errors, and hopes the
| country will soon be restored to peace
and prosperity under the Constitution.
The President received delegation
to-day from the Baltimore City Council,
and was presented resolutions indorsing
his patriotic stand for the Constitution.
He was much elated by this popular
demonstration, and addressed them in his
happiest style.
General Grant isreviewing the action
of Hancock in.removiug the Council Of
New Orleans. Deposed officials here are
presenting their views. There IS nc
| doubt of Hancock being sustained.
By Generals Hancock and Glllem'
reports it is found necessary to supply
rations to prisoners in the penitentiariel
of their respective States, and charging
TO the account of the State.
Surratt's trial is again postponed til
summer. Judge Black joins in the de
Tense.
Legrand Lockwood, a leading banker
| of New York, arrived here this morning
having important business with the Pres
ident connected with the financial con
dition of the Treasury.
The commissioners Of the Freedmen
telegraphed Alabama agents to-day t
do all in their power to aid the freedmen
discharged for voting. 1t is reporte,
that a large number we're discharged 70
voting the Republican ticket.

ADVERT ,ements required by Law
to be IN ,de aud Published in newspaper
of what ever nature, which newspaper
shall be printed and published in the Con-
eressionaf District in and for which they
shall be so designated; Provided, that in
any districs where German paper is

Scattered here apd there throughout the
State are few Radical newspapers,
which nobody reads or patronizes. The
members Of the party are themselves
disguised with these mendicant journals
and will no longer pay out money for their
support; so ii is sought by an enactment
which would disgrace respectable body,
but is simply in keeping with the Ten
nessee Legislature, to compel the people
at large to keep them from the journal
istic graveyard. If the people submit to
this, we shall next have the franchise
law so amended as to render the pos
session of an attested certificate that the
applicant subscribes to, and advertises
exclusively 10, some Radical journal,
necessary to secure registration papers.
One proposition is precisely as legal and

aud those least deserving such a fate
will be utterly ruined.
When commercial calamities befal y
people; when crops fail, and Federal leg
islation is ruinous TO industry when
multitudes seek employment in vain,
leniency in the enforcement Of revenue
systems becomes the true policy. of a
government Banks aud monsy-lenders
favor their debtors, and extend notes and
bills. Look up into the hardened face
of a soulless corporation-the poorer and
more helpless its victims the more ruth
less its exactions. It's greed for gold
cannot be appeased. Because two prop
erty holders of alleged wealth withhold
sums due the city government, the whole
unfortunate class who cannot pay must
be victimized. The Board of Aldermen
would take advantage ofthe appropriately
of two or three individuals, who have
thrust themselves before the public, to
extort money when money is most diff
cult to secure. II the revenue code must
be reformed, let it be done when the peo-
pie are prepared to encounter resulting
hardships. Iftaxes must be paid on the
spot and at the hour fixed-if the city
government must become q highwayman,
and demand money or life, let us be pre-
pared for the terrible exigency. 1t
should not be forced on us at time when
The poor can hardly get bread. This is
not the time for measures proposed by
BUR city fathers. T. r. Nm

In the Senate, February goth, the sup
Elementary reconstruction bill coming
up, Buckalew offered an amendment
making ten days residence necessary to
vote in any county. Davis moved to
amend by repeating all the reconstruction

using the negroes as their instruments to
destroy the liberties of this country. The
bill will probably pass tomorrow.
In the House, bill was reported pro-
