carriage. Roads should be carefully

might be accomplished, and much wild specu-
lation set at rest, if he would take occasion to
put the views he had stated into some form
and give them to the public, the President re-
piled that he much preferred that acts and re-
suits should speak for his Administration
rather than words. To question whether
his attention had been called to the dispatches
pretending to give his views on Mississippi
affairs, he replied that it had, but that if he
should correct one, others not denied would
be claimed as admitted; and to correct all
would consume his whole time.
The President expressed thorough in
dorsement of Gen. Ames' administration in
Mississippi, and, in reply to a remark made by
Gen. Tarbell, said that Gen. Ames would have
to do much and more serious things than he
had heard charged before he would subject
himself to removal. He indorsed his admin
istration fully.
The above report of the conversation has
been carefully read to the President, and is
published by his express authority, and at his
wish furnished to the Associated Press
