EVENING STAR. WwW. B. WALLACH, Editer and Preprictor. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY......+...-.....++- APRIL 2, 1566. S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTHRESTING TELE- GBAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. RRES’ VISIT TO THE WHITE INT, TING atisn A very interesting interview took place at the Executive mansion on Saturday. Fifteen of Philadelphia's fairest representatives, consti- uting a committee deputed to act for their fellow-pupils of the Northeast Girls’ Grammar School of that city, presented to the President | and Mrs. Johnson a yase of wax fruit of most exquisite design and execation, as @ sincere expression of their high personal regard for His Excellency and Mrs. Johnson, and admi- ration of the President’s public career as a statesman and patriot. The interview was very cordial, and the ex- pressions of the President's thanks, for himself and on behalf of Mrs. Johnson, for the high compliment paid them, was one of his happiest efforts. The names of the young ladies con- stituting the committee are as follows -—Jo- sephine Hogeland, Etta A. Wright, Mary S. Siean, Lavinis Mundell, Alice Witt, Kate Poole, Mary Solomon, Ida Metz, Sallie Wrig- wy. Hann artin, Sarah Jackaway, Bella Davis, Lizzie Meade. After a short conversation, the interview closed with a warm shaking of hands, and gentle but earnest expressions of «God bless you, Mr. President.” PROMOTION OF MAJOR MOBROW. ‘The Secretary of War has brevetted Major Robert Morrow, on the President's Military Staff, to be Lientenant Colonel, for uniferm gallantry and meritorious service during the war, the commission to date April 12, 1865, on which day Captain Morrow (since promoted Major) was badly wounded in a cavalry fight at Salisbury, N.C. Captain Morrow was at that time on General Stoneman’s staff. Major Morrow is as brave as he is handsome. BELEASED FROM ARREST. Major General Augur, in compliance with with instructions received trom the Secretary of War, bas released Wm. L. Hamilton, who ‘was arrested in New York and brought to this city, on the suspicion that he was Quantrell, the desperado. The Government has furnished 7 with free transportation back to New ork. Tax ConnecticuT ELECTION.—The election of State officers in Connecticut, to be held to- day, excites considerable interest. The candi- dates of the conservatives and Democrats are James E. English for Governor, Ephraim H. Hyde for Lieutenant Governor, Jesse Olney for Secretary of State, and Herman H. Bar- bour for State Treasurer. The Republican momuneés are Joseph R. Hawley for Governor, Oliver F. Winchester for Lieutenant Gover- nor, Leverett E. Pease for Secretary of State, and Henry G. Taintor for State Treasurer. Members of the Legislature are also chosen, but no Congressmen. Connecticut, at the ‘Presidential election in 1863, cast 44,691 votes for Lincoln and 42,255 for McClellan, Mr. Lin- coln’s majority being 2.406. At the election tor Governor in“the spring of last year, Buck- ingham, Republican, received $2,374 votes, and Seymour, Democrat, 31,339, the Repndjican majority being 11,035. The vote to-day, it is thought, will be largely increased. peeleestioe san Mesercacecnle PERSONAL.—The New York Tribune finds space in its Washington telegram columa for a Bohemian correspondent to pour forth his griefs because he fails to get a free pass over the street railroads here, while members of Congress are more favored. If free passes Were given by the companies to all the lazy Bohemians who have the cheek to ask for them, their cars would have room for nobody else but these seedy gentlemen. The New York Herald, on the contrary, never allows its Correspondents to sponge upon railroad com- panies, or to use its columns to blackmail such as refuse. Senator Dixon, of Connecticut, is now able to sit up several hours every day, and his many friends will be glad to know hopes soon to be able to be out. —————— @7From the publishers, Kertson & Ford- ham, Newark, N.

S7 By sa late order of the War Department the Military Department of Missouri has been dtvided into two parts. Major General John Pope will command that ion designated as the it of Missouri, with at Fort Leavenworth, and Brigadier General McCook the ent of the Platte, with headquarters at aha, Nebraska. S7The Hon. Cornelius Cole, the Senator sent from California, is a passenger from San Francisco per steamer Constituticn, which left that port Saturday. BM.

The beefsteak which was set before Rin ‘was assailed with a readiness which only a hungry man might bring to bear, and while he was devouring it, a lump lodged in the trachea, and resisted ali Sttempts to remove it. He was conveyed to the New York hospital, but before surgical aid could be rendered, he died.

Ducherson amongst the incorporators, and the following as edditional sections: Section 12. And be it further enacted, That in order to aid the said “District of Columbia Canal and Sewerage Company” in faifilling the objects and requirements of this act, that all the right, title, property, interests and estate in law or equity of the United States of, in and to the Washington canal and the bridges croseing the same, and the lands upon which snid canal bridges, bgsins, locks, reservoirs, docks, wharves, are how located, occupied, used and constructed, be, and the same are hereby, vested in the said “District of Colambia Canal and Sewerage Company” to have and to hold the same for the use and benefit of the said company. Section 13. And be it further enacted, That nothing in this act contained shall be held or deemed in any manner or way to injure or im- pair any public or private mghts or interests, or in any manner to effect the same beyond the mere transfer of the rights of the Unitea States to said “District of Columbia Canal and Sewerage ek, Mr. Wude, from the same committee, reported favorably upon the bill to incorporate . the General Hospital of the District of Columbia. In the House the Senate bill transferring the Smithsonian Library to the Congressional Library was passed. ¥REED LABOR iN ARKANSAS, Gen. Sprague, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Burean in the Sate of Arkan- sas, in bis report for the month of February, says on the question of free labor: “Almost without exception the planters re- port that their freedmen laborers are working to their entire satisfaction, bat many still en- tertain fears for the future, that at some criti- cal period, their laborers will leave them, and subject them to heavy loss, notwithstanding each day adds to the security in their hands, in consequence of the increaséd indebtedness to their laborers. Occasionally a laborer leaves his employer, to whom he is under contract, without cause, on which the employer makes an earnest de- mand upon the nearest superintendent te haye the delinquent pursued and returned to him. This has been steadily refused, but the em- ployers are authorized to pursue the freedmen thus violating their contractsand stop the pay- ment of their wages wherever they engage to labor. This system works well, the negro tires of working where he receives no pay, and often returns to his employer impressed with the necessity of fulfilling his contract and real- izing that he is subject toand protected by laws founded in justice. Even his limited intelli- gence enables him to contrast this treatment with the old system, where bloodbounds and tne scourge were used to control him. He thinks experience has fully demonstrated the fact that good and sufficient laws for the government of the whites are good and suffi- cient for the negroes; but the people who have been educated under the slave system cannot, er will not see this. They demand some com: ulsory system for the government of their jate slaves, which is enly a substitute for slayery by another name. THE LATE COLONEL T. 8. BOWERS. Lieut. General Grant issued, on March 3vth, General Order No. 19, in which, with deep re- gret, he announces te the army the decease, at Garrison's Station, opposite We&t Point, N. Y., on March 6th, of Major Theodore S. Bowers, of the Adjutant General’s Department, and Brevet Colonel U.S. A., at the age of thirty- four. He then gives a brief history of Colonel Bowers’ services, “ip se he began his military career as afprivate in company G, 4sth regi- ment [ilinos infantry volunteers, in October. 1561, was commicsioned Ist Lieutenant of his company March 4, 162, was made an Aide- de-Camp to Gen. Grant, April 26, 1-62, ana was breveted Lieut. Colonel and Colonel, U.S. Army, “for gallant and meritorious services during the war,” March 13. 1505. His duties were coutinuously in the field with the Lieut. General until the surrender of Gen. Lee at Ap- pon.attox Court House, and trom that time for- ward at his Headquarters at Washington, D. C. The General concludes by saying that the Army generally has to mourn the loss of a brother officer whose virtues as a man and whose soldierly qualities are worthy of emu- Jation, and directs that the officers of the Adju- tant General's Department will wear the wenai badge of mourning for thirty days. ——_______... “GBEAT EXPECTATIONS.” The galleries of the Senate (with the excep- tion of the space reserved for the diplomatic corps) were erowded to-day by half-past eley- en by those anxious to hear Judge Trumbull speak in opposition to the veto of the Presi- ident. But tor some unexplained reason the veto message was not takem ap, and the at- tendant audience began, about one o'clock, to exhibit signs of disappointment. it is now believed that the civil rights bill and veto wil! not eome up until Thursday, or until after the return of seyeral absent Senators. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT. President Johnson sent to the Senate to-day @ brief message, transmitting a memorial from the Legislature of Alabama, asking an exten- sion of time om the grants of land made by Congress in 1556, for the construction of cer- tain railroads in that State, work on whieb was delayed by what is called “the late uafor- tunate civil war between the so-called Confed- erate States and the United States.” WHITE HOUSE, The numbet of visitors calling om the Presi- dent to-day was not large, and most of them obtained interviews. During the morning nearly all the members of the Cabinet called upon the President—Seeretaries Seward, Mc- Culloch and Welles. and Attorney General Speed. BACK FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Republican Senators and Representatives who have returned from Connecticut, declare that Gen. Hawley is certain to be elected Goy- ernor by from 1,300 to 2,500 majority. To-mor- row afternoon our readers can judge of the correctness of this estimate. VALUABLE SEIZURE. Hon, Nathan Sargent, Commissioner ef Cus- toms, has been informed_of the seizure, a few days since, of 70,000 valuable segars by the Oollector at New Orleans, La., which were being smuggled into the United States at that port.
