THE PREsIDEN IABROGLIO,
It is said the commitLce msnsging the
Inauguration ceremonies have felt az
embarrassment about the existing un-
pleasant personal difference between
President johnson and Gen. Grant. Gus
tom would require that the committee
provide for the incoming aud outgoing
Presidents to ride tog= ther TO ths capital
on the Ala VI March, bat Gen. Grant has
/ plainly indicated that he will not ride to
the capitol ID company with Mr.. John
son. The latter@bss not been consulted
on the sUtjsct by the committee, nor
has he said anything TO any one author
lied 10 speak for him about the matter.
So fer es known, IN view OF Gen. Grants
refusal to come in contact with President
johnson, the committee may not com-
muaicats With the latter relative to the
ceremonies, but however this may BE-,
President Johnson will probably relieve
ali parties Of embarrassment 10 the case
by quietly repairing a. 10 o'clock, March
Am, 10 the Presidents room, sdjoining
the Senate chamber, and, according 10
custom on the last day Of the session,
there remain with bis cabinet until noon,
the hour when his official term expires,
to consider the bills that may be pre-
sented for bis signature. II this ususl
course be pursued ne wid not, therefore,
ne party to the procession and other
ceremonies which will be In progress at
the same time in the streets OF the city
and the committee and all other parties
! wi! thus be relieved OF the dreaded en-
! barTlssment
RESIGNATION OF TIE CABINET.
It Is uudsrsto0d that q number Of
/ President J0hns0n's cabinet, except prob
/ ably Gen. Scbofield and Dir. EysTts, viii

4 b OF March, to take effect on that cay.
MISSISSIPPI
/ The 3 scons tructiOn COMmittee further
amended the Mississippi bill, which vas
subsequently, reported 10 the House and
again rec8mmi,tsd. The amendment
requiring the votes on the adoption Of
the Constitution to be counted ID the
presence Of the General commanding the
District, Provisional Governor aud
Commissioner Of the Convention, will, It
Is thought, insure fair count. The bill
is very O5uUXious 10 MississippiRGs here,
IS 1t insures the csrpet-baggers full sway.
