SER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GBAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. permit ————————$—$—<—<————— VIEWS OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON, Governor Cox, of Ohio, has written a letter giving the particulars of an interesting inter- view held with President Johnson on Satur- day, in which the President gave his views on the situation with characteristic frankness and straightforward good sense. His statements | will serve to put at restthe silly idea started by the radicals that Andrew Johnson, after a life-long devotion to the Union, is now, at the moment of the triumph of the principles for which he has sacrificed so much, preparing to desert to the hopeless rebel cause. The Presi- dent said that his policy bad simply arrived at the earliest possible restoration of peace on the basis of loyalty. As no Congressional plan had been adopted, when he entered upon the duties of bis office he was obliged to adoptone of his | own, which was, in one sense, that of Mr. Lin- coin. Congress had no just ground of com- | plaint that he had done so, as they had not seen fit to declare their views. Governments could not long be tolerated and Rot to restore the late rebellious States to their proper position would be an admis- sion of the failure of the Administration and of the party which bad carried through the wer, and bence the necessity of adopting a pelicy which would restore civil government Tully, just as soon as the rebellion should be thoroughly ended. He was not opposed to the Freedmen’s Bureau in tofo, for he had used its and was still using it; it might continue fora period more than a year yet, and he would say to the people of the South that at depends upon themselves whether the bureau shall be dis- continued at an earlier day, as he would pu; amend to it as soon as they by proper action for the protection of the freedmen make it un- necessary. His idea and policy was te stimu- late loyalty to the General Government throughout the late rebellious States, and whexever they show a peaceful and law- abiding cordition martial law shall be removed. The conditions required by the President having been complied with, he regards his plan aS Asuccess, And not as a failure, and conse- quently bad recognized the several depart. ments of the Government therein, and all the Executive departments reeognized them as States in the Union. Bat one thing re- mained in which the Iate rebellions States did not exercise the full rights of States— representation im Congress. He would admit all such Representatives as are in fact Joyal men and none others. He did not ask to be the judge of qualifications, or election, or foyalty, of members of Congress, as Congress Was its own judge, and he had no mtention ot interfering with their constitutional right. If 1 men and rebels everywhere should their adbesion to his policy of restora- tion, he thought it was precisely what loyaj men would rejoice in, as by thus committing themselves now it would diminish the opposi- tion of the disloyal in the future. The more they were committed to such a course the bet- ter he would like it; for if they were not sincere, they would at least diminish their power of dangerous opposition in the fature. His whole heart was with the body of true men who had carried the conntry through the war, and he earnestly desired to maintain a cordial and perfect understanding with them. This senti- ment and purpose he regarded as entirely consistent with determined opposition to the obstruction policy of those extremists who, as he believed, would keep the country in chaos, ull absolute ruin might come upon us.

Church will hold its next session in the Light street Church, Baltimore, on Wednes- day, March 7th, at which Rev. Bishep Scott will preside. This being the year when, according to the “two yearrule,” many of the ministers will change their location, there is much conjecture among the members of the different congrega- tions as to who they shall have next. Accord- ing to this rule Rev. Dr. B.H. Nadall will leave the Wesley Chapel, Rey. Dr. Ryan the old Foundry, (he preached his farewell on Sunday Iast,) Rev. J. M.H. Lemon Union Chapel. Rev. Mayberry Goheen, who has been at the McKendree for the past year, will also, on account of iil health, @ve way tosome other minister.

Phetps, the Presiding Elder of this (Washington) distriet, having acceptabiy during the past three years performed the duties, will be relieved this year, ind will probably be asked for by some of the churches of this city. THE IISkASe AT THEY WASHINGTON Asy- LUM.—The community will be glad to learn by the following communication to the Mayor that the epidemic we reterred to on Satarday last As existing at the Asylum is abating, the of- ficers, incluting the physicians and stndents, having, on the first appearance of the disease, taken extra measures to prevent Its spread: Wasuinctoy, Feb. 26, 1866.—/on. Richard Wallach, Meyor—Sir: Iam happy to inform you that the epidemic of typhus fever at the Wash- ington Asylum is abating, and that no new cases have appeared during the last four days, and the fever poison appears to have lost its Tulence. Qut of more than forty cases only six deaths have taken place, all of whom, with one exception, were persons of advanced ages and broken-down constitutions. When we consider the general character of the inmates of the asylum, its overcrowded condition, which gave rise to the disease, and the kind of disease prevailing there, I think the list of mor- tality small. The new building for temporary use will be cecnpied ‘o-day, thus enabling the Intendant to relieve the house of its excess of inmates. I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, S. A. H. McKim, M. D., Physician Washington Asylum. oe TRY FisHERtEs.—The first herring of the sea: son arrived here last night.

Moore, Quar- termaster, are now engaged in fitting up the National Cemeteries located on our battle fields. Within the last few weeks the graves nave been supplied with lettered head and foot boards in the cemetery of Holywood, north of and near Richmond, said to be the finest ceme- tery in the South; at Oakwood, southeast of Richmond, and at Belle Isle. In the Holy- wood and Oakwood cemeteries there are buried. 70,000 Confederate soldiers. None of the graves of Union soldiers, in these cemeteries, that were buried in 1561 or 1562, can be identified; no record of them having been kept. The site of the cemetery at Coal Harbor has been select- ed, and the werk of establishing it begun. It is located on the White House road. on the property of Mrs, Ida Slaughter, about one tile from the Coal Harbor House. The ceme- tery will be a square enclosure; the two main walks extend from side to side, and cross each other at right angles, and a mound for a flag- staff is in the center. MILITARY BALL IN BOSTON. Lieut. Gen, Grant, with other distinguished officers, are to be present at a military ball which is to be given next Monday evening in Boston, and which Is to eclipse every similar festival ever known at the “Hub.” Gilmore, who was here some years ago at the head of his band, is tobe musical director, and will have one hundred and ten performers, in- cluding twenty first yiolins, with reed and brass instruments in proportion, The man- agers have beep selected from the officers of the different regiments which were in service during the recent war, Major Bon. Perley Poore representing the Sth, which many of our readers will remember as the second to ar- rive here in 1961. CONGRESS TO-DAY. The main interest continues to center in the Senate, where the debate is in progress on the Stevens joint resolution in regard to represen- tation from rebel States. Senator Dixon is making an able speech to-day in support of the President's policy of restoration, which he urges is the only correct one. He she never looked upon the Freedmen’s Bureau bill (though voting for it) asa principle, but simply as a measure, and when he found that the President of the United States, whose duty it would be execute the law, had objections te it, he very cheerfully yielded to those objec- tions. GOVERNMENT SALES. Several Government sales haye taken place under the direction of Lieut. Col. J. M. Moore, Quartermaster, Depot of Washington. The sale of (Government stables near the Baltimore and Obio Railroad Depot, on the 26th instant, realized $944.50. The sale at warehouse No.2, of miscellaneous articles, on the 23d, netted $1,247; and the sale of Government buildings in the different parts of the city, on the 24th instant, realized very nearly $3,000, THE NAVAL ACADEMY. It is proposed, we learn, to remove the Nayal Academy from Annapolis to some piace on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, where the cadets will be removed from the temptations of a town, and where a sufficient area of territory can be obtained to admit of extensive drill ground. ere SCAN.

Goon ADVICE FROM THE RIGHT QUARTER.— The New York Commercial Advertiser, a thor- ongh-going Union and Republican paper, ex- presses warm disapproval of the undignified terms in which the radical press deal with the President's veto message. The Commercial says :—“Not satisfied with sg charges of a disgraceful nature, they deal largely in inu- endo, which they cannot and dare not back up by proof. There was no real reason fer any conflict between the Presideptand the majority in Congress. If his arguments are weak, let them be answered. If he vetoes a law which he cannot approve, let them frame a law to which he will assent. But in no event, for the honor and credit of the country, and for their own self-respect, should they induige in the coarse and unseemly vituperation which char- acterize them. This is a day when calm and dispassionate statesmanship is required, and when the terrible evils of war are to be cor- rected. War is so utterly wicked that it leaves only evil in its trail, and it is far more difficult to Zina the way out of the meshes in which hostilities involve a State, than it is to conduct the measures of & war policy. A few days of reflection has given time for passion to cool, and the duty of the present hour should sue- gest to the representatives of the people the necessity of engaging heartily and honestly in the work of restoration. Lf party could be for- gotten, there would be immediate hope. Must we forever have the measures of legislation dependent upon the necessities of mere party politics {”” PEREON At. he phrase “Dead Duck” is now more ornately rendered “Defunct Didap- per.” +*--Michael W.

Mr. Randall, of Pa., briefly stated his reasons for opposing the pending amendment; one of which was that eleven States to be affected by it were not allowed to participate in the dis- cnssion; and further, that twenty-seven States were ne to adopt any constitutional amendment. He declared himself ready to ad- uit representatives from loyal people, who could subscribe to the required oaths which all the members of the House had taken. Mr. Kelley, of Pa. supported the amend- ment, not because he thought it was absolutely necessary, but because it appeared to many of his friendg@that such a provision did not al. ready exist in thé Constitution. He, however, believed it to be there. Oe. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. ee ee Accident te General Grant—The Fenian Imbroglio.
