The President. the Militia Bill, and the
Tcnure-of-0ffice Act, &c.
The bill repeating the law as to militia
in the southern States was delivered to the
President to-day. The passage of this bill
by Congress and the action of the House
yesterday upon the tenure-of-ofice act
give credence Of concurrence in views
at least between the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the Government. President
johnson signed the militia bill under written
protest, and in his last message recommended
it's repeal. He vetoed the tenure-of-ofice
bill, and in message since specially re-
| commended it's repeal. Both branches of
Congress have now agreed with the Presi-
dent as to one of these acts, and the House
has, by majority Of over two to one, CO.
incided with him as to the other.
The members of the Bricklayers' Ma
tional Convention propose to call on Presi-
dent Johnson on Thursday to pay their
! respects.
The friends Of Governor Cummings,
| nominee for Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, have assurances that he will be

cal affairs of that State shall be settled On
some permanent basis there can be no in

Element, they appear to be resolved to get
the best arrangement that is possible.
