NOON DISPATCHES.
NEW YORK DISPATCHES.


Interview with the President MFR.
JOhnsOn's Views. etc.. etc. ac1g,
NEW York, Jan. 2O.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent in a personal
interview with the President Yesterday,
elected the following from the Executive:
that as President Of the United States he
was bound by oath to administer the
government according to the constitution;
he had by. defending a principle, found
himself singularly opposed by another
branch of the government, but he had faith
in the good sense of the people, and mods
ification of sentiment ensued the Radicals
have made Congress political monstrosity,
having oYerleaped all bounds; someof these
ofparty and political ambition. If they now
keep on by conquest in the South this year,
they will manage to obtain power more
equivalent to that of last in the North. He
then referred to aneffort made to connect him
with the assassination plot, and said that
the leaders were capable of employing any
measures TO ge rid of him or shear away
his power the measure in Congress he
said was revolutionary. The proposition
to deprive BY act Of Congress, the vested
authority of the President as Commander
in-Chief, is direct violation ofthe constr
tuition. The bill submitted by Mr.. Bing-
ham assumes the right of Congress to do
away with the President altogether if it
choose, and makes itself executor as well
as legislator. Government assumption is
arrogant, dangerous and destructive. If
there had been a liberal, generous, law
abiding sentiment predominant in the
North, by this time the South would al
most have been upon its legs again, and
the vanity of negroes would not have been
so fed to bursting that labor, free labor for
their old master should be neglected,
shirked and lost; there would have been no
military usurpation, but civil governments
in each State he was convinced thatif every
district commander in the South should
be changed to department commanders,
with duties confined TO assisting the civil
authorities TO preserve order, civil govern
ment would be rapidly and peacefully re-
stored. In his Judgment the speedy result
of this would be, the reorganization of the
whole country. But it appears as ifCon-
gress is determined not to allow this happy
contamination. A revolution such as these
headstrong spirits are still determined to
precipitate, may have, if suffered TO go on,
an effect more dangerous than civil war.
Responding to the intimation that he was
understood to intend to exercise all author
ity vested in him TO repel these revolutions
airy measures, the President said he in-
tended to do his dnty. As to what that
duty may involve, it would be premature,
he said, even to suggest. We will leave
special measures for special occasions when
they arise. have confidence in the good
sense OF the army, and certainly / believe
in the people. Ibelieve in young men !;
they will not permit revolution to be ac.
complished, even though it might be me-
cessary for the people 10 take the matter
into their own hands.

UNION AND DIsPATCH FOR Isss.

In response to the stringency Of the
times, and to enable them to reach a
greater number of readers, during the
perilous trials through which the coun>
try is passing, the prOprietors of the
UxIoS AND DIsPArcH have determined to
sgain reduce the terms of subscription,
and hereby announce to their patrons
and the public, that from this date, these
terms viii be
For the Daily Union and Dispatch. per
annHn 2lo w
For the Tri- Weekly Union and Dispatch.
Per fnnum.. W
Having led of, about year ago, in a
reduction of the subscription price of the
Nashville papers from fourteen to tlceloe
dollars per annum for the daily-making
a corresponding reduction in the price
Of the tri-weekly edition-we take
pleasure in being again the pioneer in a
still further reduction, to the same ex~
tent We have thus brought down the
price of a frstclass political, CONNER
cial and news journal in Tennessee, to
nearly the ante-war prices
Our purpose is to practice what We
preach. We are for retrenchment and
economy in every vocation of life The
discreet and honest newspaper is now
necessity in every intelligent and
we'll ordered household, and we are re-
solved to furnish the UNIoN AND DIsPATcH
for the least possible living price, pre-
cisely as all the other necessaries of life
onght to be furnished. The time has
passed for grand speeulations in the legiti+
mate avocations of life in this community.
Rather we should desire to see every
branch of Tennessee trade and industry
become a mutual help and assistance,
each to the other, and 80 lay the founda@
tons of general prosperity wide and
deep, in the primary elements of self
dependence and local independence
We send abroad Cor nothing that we can
obtain at home, and thus we unite our
fortunes, as well as our lives, with those
among whom we live
At our present rates the several edi-
tions of the UNION AND DISPATCH will be
within the reach Of all who feel an in
terest in the great events that are daily
passing into the history of the country f,
and we trust that our effort viii meet a
substantial appreciation on the part Of
our patrons and the general public. .

HON. A. II. STEPHENS.
His Views of the Southern Situation
and Prospects.

anu z'rOSDeclS.
AS is known TO our readers, Hon. Alex.
II. Stephens is at Philadelphia, supervising
work on the late war, which is now in
press in that city. In conversation re-
Gently with a friend, he gave expression to
the subjoined views which have found their
way into print;
"He pronounced the future before that
section of the country (the South fraught
with gloom and disaster, and can see moth
ing in the policy of reconstruction but the
operation of a fearful scheme, whose ulti-
mate result will be the destruction of either
the black or the white race. Every day,
he says, it becomes more painfully evident
that the enlargement between the two
races is widening-on the part Of the ne
groes from the effects of such instruction
as teaches them to mistrust and oppose the
whites, and on the part of the latter from
an adherence of the negro leaders and an
instructive aversion to be ruled and legis-
lated for by ignorance and standardization.
From what fell under his own observation
in Georgia, he was unable to detect any
thing like spirit on either side tending TO
mutual sympathy of sentiment and interest.
Radical emissaries from the North have
sown the seeds of evil dissension with
terrible earnestness, and the diametric OPP
position of the races now visible all over
the South, must in the very nature of things
lead, at some time or other, TO fearful col
lisions. The inevitable result, Mr.. Stephens
declares, as dispassionste observer, forces
itaelf irreeisfihlv on his attention A war
Of races, desired by some and indifferently
needed by others, is, to his mind, conse
quence az sure to happen, under the Radi-
cal method of reconstruction, as it is inn
possible to avoid, if the precedents of
history or the impulses that control human
nature be taken into account"

PROPHECIES OF MIR. CLAY AMI
MIR. CALHOUN,

In 1S43, Henry Clay, who led the Wing
hosts in the campaign of 1874, made the
following prophecy:
The agitation Of slavery in the free States
will
LIST. Destroy all harmony.
ID. Lead to division.
Sd. To poverty.
4th. To war.
9th. To the determination Of the black
race
9th. To ultimate despotism.
Charleston papers republish Calhoun's
prediction of 1896, attaching to it much
significance. 1t is as follows:
The blacks and the profligate whites that
might unite with :hem, would become the
principal recipients Of the Federal Offices
and patronage, and would, in consequence,
be raised above the whites Of the South in
the political and social scale We would,
in a word, change our conditions with
them, a degradation greater than has yet
fallen 10 the lot Of free and enlightened
people, and one from which we could not
escape, should emancipation take place
(which IL certainly will il not prevented, }
