Presidents message was sent to the Sen
ate, asking the repeal of the lawJwhicl
precludes Stewards acceptance Of tn
Secretaryshp of the Treasury withou
his retirement from business, there ha
been much consultation among member
of Congress on the subject. Some Re
publcans ksye openly declared they vii
vote for such resolution; others express
their reluctance to do SO, but say they
will do noiiihg to eaibarrass the Presi'
dent at the commencement Of his admin
istration. Mr. Stewart was in consulta'
ton with various Senators to-day in view
of what has occurred. 1t is probable the
President will withdraw his message, OF
that Mr.. Stewart will resign to leave the
President free to make another appoint
ment.
On account of the amount Of business
to be transacted by Congress, the session
is not likely to be very short one.
Gentlemen connected with the Repub-
lican association in the South have been
ia consultation regarding the interests of
that section. Those from Alabama and
Mississippi will hold meeting tomorrow
night. ~
Ex-Presdent johnson and wife arc

pected that he will, by invitation Of the
corporate authorities of Baltimore, visit
that city on Wednesday. On his return
to Washington he will take the train by

A Magnificent Donation 10 the
Orphans Fair.


How weary, melancholy and unpro6t-
able appear all the troubles and turmoils
of this life elbow annoying and discour-
aging the strifes and chickering's Of petty
politicians i-how sad aHd sorrowful the
the enmities and .backbitisgs of miser-
able pIace-huuters but how sweet and
lovely seem the pious and the tender
hearied-the charitable man who feels
for suffering humanity-:he gentle-souled
man who looks above the outside show
and vanities of the world, and sees in the
poor orphan something that may be
ennobled and made worthy of placa in
the kingdom Of heaven Full oft do we
hear that Memphis is very unchsritable
place, but, mirabiie dictu, here may be
found many aud many good Christian,
within whose bosom stream of human
kindness continually flows; and we
know one who might be called the Pea
body of the Bluff, we're he willing that
his benevolent deeds should be en-
blazoned on banners or enumerated in
public prints. However, at the cost of
displeasing him. we now take the liberty
of saying that this true aud generous
gentlemau-oue who has been long q
resident Lere, and who has BEEN father,
as it we're, to all Hibernians, taking
especial pains to elevate them in social
and political soeieiy-has crowned all
his goOdly gifts by presenting chef
d eurre of art and mechanism to the
Orphans Fair. The donation is nothing
less than Lady's Cabinet Of the most
elegant design and exquisite finish. 1t
is about the size Of small melodeon,
has double doors msssively ornamenied
with silver, full set offre-proof drawers
Of the snoothest-polished aud 6Esst
material ever witnessed in this region,
aud its whole outside frame is composed
of about FIVE thousand pieces of reai-
grained and vsrious-colOred wood, ell
PIT together with nice ingenuity, and
presenting a piece Of workmanship Of
wonderful beauty. Twas made in japan,
and is valued at Eve hundred dollars.
We are certain it will create q sensation
among the elite, the creme de Ia creme,
the bon ton, and soforth, 81 the Fair.
