THE .EX-PRESID ENT.
He Advises Band Of Students to Stand
by the Constitution.


From The Charlottesville Chronicle, March 20.
President johnson passed here Thursday, on
his way to his home in Tennessee. He was met
at Keswlck by MIR. Samuel McKenney Of Ten
nessee, student of the University, and induced
by him to make his appearance on the porch of
the Central Hotel thus giving us sight of a
live eXPresident, and the pleasure of hearing
HIM make a speech. There was q very large
crowd of citizens and students assembled to
meet him and testify their respect for the man,
and their approval OF his course as President of
the United States.
After his introduction the ex President urged
the students to stand by the Constitution as the
only ark of political safety, and to cling to it
the shlpwrecked mariner in the night OF storms
and tempests clings TO the last plank. He said
that in returning TO private life, he carried with
him the proud consciousness of having done
his duty; that he had struggled 10 maintain the
Constitution of our fathers; that he felt that he
had been true to his country, his conscience,
and his God, and that he was going home to
take his place among the ranks of his fellow
citizens, and help them bear the burdens that
he has been unable to remove from their
shoulders, and that in thus returning to private
life, he could say from his heart, varying the
quotation slightly
More true Joy Marcellus exIled feels
Than Cesar with a corrupt Cong gress at his heels"
He advised the young men to read and study
Addson's ''Cato;" that although it was dry
play Tin which opinion we do not 2gree), that
there was stern virtue and patriotism per-
vading the whole of it, which makes II one which
SNCIJ anu suOulu ftdu ana BLduy.
He insisted that something must be done to curb
the fanatical power of worthless majorlties; !;
that minorities must be protected in their
rights or the Government must go to ruin
he said that he hoped this could be done that
he was going home TO do all he could, and that
II he could do no more, following the advice of
Cato to his son, he could retire to his rural
home, and there among his own groves would
thanking the crowd for. their kind demonstra-
tions of respect and approval, and wishing to
each and all the brightest bessings of ProW-
dence on all their efforts He retired, amid the
shouts of the crowd, to the dining room of the
Central Hotel,where Mr.. Bailey no doubt gave
him the best the country can afford.

civil Cenure Act.
WAsHHGToN, March 22.-The Republican
Senatorial caucus met at 10 o'clock tuiB morn
ing of those who favor the supension.
Messrs. Edmunds aud Conkling presented "a
proposition TO suspend the operation OF the
Tenure OF Office law for four years. This gave
rise to a lengthy debate, and was strongly OPP
posed by those who favor the immediate repeal.
1t was clear there was majority of the caucus
in favor of suspension for four years. Shortly
before IL o'clock they insisted that a vote
hould be taken. This was resisted, and Messrs.
Morton, SpTsgue, Grimes, aud others left the
caucus, first stating that they would not be
bound by its action. After these gentlemen
had left it was" thought expedient
not to press the matter, and they agreed to sd
iourn until O'Clock. Those in favor of sus-
pension for four years are in the majority, and
can carry their point in the caucus, unless
those in favor of the absolute repeal should per-
sist in their course, in which case those in favor
of suspension may be defeated. 1t is given out
by those who pretend to know the Presidents
mind, that he Is opposed to the suspension of
this law, either for a short or long period, and
this action Of the Senate would not be satisfac-
tory to him. Great excitement prevailed
around the Senate Cham Der while the caucus
was in session. The Senate Chamber itself, as
we'll as the corridors and lobbles, were filed
with officeseekers, who regard the repeal as
essential to their success.
Cuba and San Domingo.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs have had
another discussion on the Cuba and San Do
mingo resolution to-day, but came to no con
clusion. The Minister of the revolutionary
party in Cuba Is expected here tomorrow when
he will be before the committee and make some
statements relative to the condition of the In
surgents and their prospects of success.
Internal Revenue Affairs.
The Ways and Means Committee are consider
