Journat appeals urgently for the nomination of Andrew John- son for next President by the National Demo- cratic Convention on the ground that he has been the champion of the rights of the South under the Constitution, and has made more sacrifices for the right and the imperiled lib- erties of his fellow-eitrens of the South than were either expected or asked of him, or the history of the country from its earliest days down to the present can show. —— The Cincinnati Enquirer is growling at the Democratic National Executive Committee for presuming to select delegates from the Southerm proscribed States to attend the Na- tional Democratic Convention. It insists that the Southern Democrats are not children, and that they are selecting their own delegates, —— The announcement of the official vote of Maine shows that the Demoeratic gain in that State last year was 16,348, —— Morgan C. Hamilton, at the call of some forty negroes and ten whites, announces him- self a candidate for Congress from Texas against his brother, A. J, Hamilton. — The Chicago Tribuxe ungallantly says that “Miss Anna Dickinson is becoming a trifle superfluous as a stump speaker. She has also fallen into the habit of making statements which are not supported by the facts, but are directly ae tuthem. In this respect she resembles endell Phillips.” -— The Hartford Post and the Evening Press are, on February Ist, to be consolidated into an evening paper, Republican in polities, which will be called the Brening Post. — General Grant seems to have the inside track in Obio, The Cincinnati Commercials correspondent at Columbus, Obio, in a letter dated the 24th instant, says: “The attendance upon the Republican caucus last night, ot distinguished members of the or- ganization from all parts of the State, was the cecasion of & unanimity of expression in favor of General Grant for Presideat, that sadly non- Plussed the few men who haye been all the while hoping against hope that something would turn up, or could be turned up, to nom- inate the father of all the greenback: In alluding to the same meeting the Cleve- land Herald of the 25th instant says : “None who were present at the Republican conference at Columbus on Thursday even- ing—save such as are wilfully blind—can doubt the sentiment of the Republicans of Ohio upon the Presidential candidacy. Influential and sagacious Republicans, from all parts of the State, to the number of perhaps three hundred, met as an advisory body to the Republican State Committee, and freely and fally ex- changed sentiments upon the coming cam- paicn. So overwhelming was the sentiment favoring Gen. Grant as the nominee of the National Convention, that we hesitate not to fay nine out of ten of the Ohio Republicans are Grant men, in this, that they believe him to be the strongest man the party can put np, and one in whom the country can put infinite trust. Central Committee met point—eleven of said tee being in attendance—and the advice of the conference was endorsed by an unan- imons vote, fixing March 4 as the day. We violate no propriety in saying that every mem- ber of that committee favored the nomination of Gen. Grant.” —— The Democrats are making strenuous exertions to carry New Hampshire at the com- ing election, as the starting brick to knock down the row in the other Stttes. Hon. Mont- gomery Blair, Hon. D. W. Voorhees, Hon. J. S. Black and other prominent gentlemen have Accepted invitations of the Democratic Com. mittee to address the people of New Hampshire upon the pending issues, —— The Sturyis Journal comes out in a column editorial in favor of Mr. Colfax for the Presi- dency. We quote: “The man who should be our chosen leader ought to have a clean record as to his life-long devotion to the great principles of human free- dom, and be willing at once and always to avow his position and Principles. We ought to have such a record to fall back upon, as in some sorta guarantee that we shall not again be betrayed, and such unhesitating ayowal of Principles to give as far as possible assurance of safety. If Gen. Grant hesitates in this mat- ter, we cannot feel safe—and why go forward trembliug for the safety of the country, when we have those in whose hands ail are satisfied the Government would be safe, and the inter- ests of humanity fully subcerved. Why not at once rally around Colfax, the people's can- didate !" —— The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says that in the course of & week or two, it is understood, there will be a gathering of leading Democrats in New York, from all parts of the country, tor mutual con - sultation with reference to the Presidential cam- paign. It isto bea friendly, social meeting. with & View especially to elicit the opinion of repre- fentative men from different sections as to the availability of certam persons whose names are beginning to be mentioned as candidates for President and Vice President, —— From information received here it ap- pears that there is a bitter quarrel going on quietly among the Democrats in Ohio, growing out of the opposition te Vallandigham, which Was manifested in the recent contest for United ‘States Senator in that State.

Burns,) who bad refused to support Val. jandigham, but be did all he could to defeat Mr. urns —The Central Grant Cinb of Missouri has issued an address to the Republicans of the Suite, setting forth the reasons why General Grant should be the nominee of the party for President. RELIEF TO THE Poor ov THE SovTH.—Gen. R. ott, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau for the State of South Car- olina, arrived here yesterday morning, and was with Gen. Howard yesterday. Gen. Scott comes on business connected with the management of the bureau in that State. He proposes to farnish assistance to the planters there by supplying them with food for employees on condition that they plant enough grain and cereals on their respective plantations to subsist man and beast for one year, and after having planted this to turn their attention to cotton: but it is to be ex- pressly understood that the culture ef cotton is to be secondary to that of grain and cereals for subsistence. Ex-Governon Anwy, United States Indian agent for New Mexico, has furnished to the Agricultural Department a qnantity of seed of the pinon tree of the Rocky Mountains. This tree furnjshes fuel for the inhabitants, and is very abundant, The seeds are used by the Utah and Apache Indians for coffee, and is also ground and ased to make bread. It is anever- green, and is both useful and ormamental, and will grow wherever the pine or cedar will. It should te planted in April, ReEissve OF GREENBACKS.—Mr. Ingersoll’s proposition for a reissue of $45,000,000 of green- backs, so as to bring the total up to $400,000,000, may be regarded as indicative of the feeling of nearly all the Western members on that sub. ject. Its reference to the Ways and Means Committee is indicative of nothing in partien- lar. The position of that committee on the sub- ject of expansion is no‘ yet fully defined. It is Yery evenly divided, with the probability of One majority against any further issue when ‘the matter comes up for a square vote. ‘Tax Grasp Arxy ov Tar RePveric—Hon, John A.

The Secretary and his accomy lithed lady receive their gnésts in the mest cordial manner, Edgar T.

Carlin, Assistant Commis-ioner for the State of Tennessee, announcing that he had made a tour of inspection to Memphis and Chattanooga. and found complaints of hard times among all classes. In the cotton-grow- ing districts the colored people will suffer to some extent, but Gen. ©. says it will prove a usefal lesson, as nothing but actual suffering will appeal so forcibly and effectually to their Feason and impress on their minds the neces- sity of economy and Prudent living. He will not take steps to provide for the wants of these people until it becomes absolutely necessary, except at Mempnis, where many sick and des- titute arrive from all quarters. He thinks there is much more sound than substance in the clamor about destitution in the South. There is lawlessness, laziness and dishonesty in abundance, and he h the Government will disregard all attempts on the part of politicians and speculators to induce vernment to lend money to planters, taking liens, &c. These liens will neyer bring back a dollar to the pub- lic treasury, simply because the Government will never press a delinquent to do what he ought todo. Thece sehemes are generally got- ten up by men who aspire to Congress and other political positions, and desire to achieve popularity at the expense of the tax ying A great national work could un- dertaken by the Government, to the immediate advantage of the southern people, white and black, and the advantage of the whole country, by rebuilding and repairing the levers along the ississipps. and ell the idle men in the South who are willing to work could find profitable employment, and the most fertile portion of the cotion and sugar lands could be restored to cultivation, Hovses ror Mxwners.—A writer in the New York Independent reierring to what he designates the want of heartiness and hospi- tality in Congressional intercourse in Wash- ington, suggests that “if the Government were to provide for every Senator and Representa- tive a comiortable house to live in, surrounded by his family, just asa church provides a par- sonage for its minister, public morals would be visibly improved, and private manners visibly refined.” LIKELY TO BE ResxcTED.—We announced yesterday the nomination of W. D, Bishop, of Connecticut, to be Commissioner of Patents It seems to be thought that he stands little chance of confirmation by the Senate, and one of the points made against him is that he bas Written a letter warmly denunciatory of Con- gress. Mr. Bishop has already filled the office of Commissioner of Patents, it will be remem- bered. CouRT MARTIAL OnpER REVOKED.—General Court Martial Orders No. 2, just issued from the Adjutant General's office, revokes so much of General Orders No. 5, Headquarters, De- partment of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, January 24, 1866, in the case of Cs ptain John A.

Kautz by a court martial at Vicks- burg, before which he was convicted of “ con- duct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline,” by the use of disrespectful and abusive language in @ letter to his superior officer, Gen. Ord. Gen. Kautz ts ordered to re- sume his sword and report for duty, AMONG those who called upon Secretary Stanton to-day was Prof. Agassiz, the eminent naturalist. Mr. Evtor, ofj Maesachusetts, will shortly introduce in the House of Representatives a joint resolution directing that the order of Gen, Grant, discontinuing the Freedmen’s Bureau. in certain States from and after February 1, be immediately rescinded. Tue Warts Hovt jarge number of v: tors were at the Executive Mansion to-day, many of whom had an interview with the President. A delegation of Cherokee Indians headed by their agent, Col.

Mr.’ D French, an Sin, whe as a cy far eer! ays eben Tue NATIONAL BaNKs.—There is a manifest disposition upon the part of the House to cur- tail the privileges and emoluments of the Na- tional Banks, Two bills pasced yesterday, sof Banking both reported from the Commit and Currency, one allowing State Legislatures full power to tax shares of National Banks, and the other prohibiting deposits of public moneys from being made with National Banks at any place where there is located a Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, The extent to which this has been carried was partially developed by @ communication from the Secretary of the Treasury in Teply to & resolution offered by Judge Kelly, of Pennsylvania, oyer a month azo. It appears by this report that the average bal- ance for the lasteighteen months of Govern- ment funds deposited with the national banks bas been about $),000,000, and ti certain favorite banks haye held undisturbed a bal- ance of from $500,(00 to $2,000,000, on call for investment in Government bonds. These deposits have been worth from $300) to $00,000 in gold per annum to these bantes, A LAKoR Deveeation ov Toracco Deat- BES AND MANUFACTURERS arrived here to-day for the purpose of consulting with the Ways and Means Committee relative to the tax on to- baceo. The committee has signified its willing- ness to hear any statements the delegation may have to make. 1t was expected that they would wait upon the committer this morning; but they were holding a meeting at one of the ho- telx, and had not. up to a late hour, presented themeelyes at the committee room. There is considerable difference between the manufac. torer and dealers from the East and those from the West as to what suggestions concerning the tax on their business should be made to the committee. The object of the meeting to-day ‘was to settle this difference. At the latest ac- counts there was not much prospect of an agreement. Tur Russtanx TERRITORY.—The documents sent to the Senate by the State Department, in- clude the report made by Gen. Rosseau to Sec- retary Seward, in regard to the proceedings in. taking posession of the new territory of Alaska in this report General Rosseau says the speech of Mr. Sumner in the Senate on the ratification of the treaty, was remarkable for the acerucy of its decriptions of the climate, people resonrees, &c., of that territory. The people of Sitka are reported by Gen. R. to be quiet, orderly, and law-abiding—of the Rus- sions proper there were about 500 on the Island. At New Archangel, the climate about the same as at Washington in tempera- ture. The fisheries are very fine, and will supply auy quantity of salmon trout, cod, &c.

THE PROMULGATION OF THE LAWS OF THE UnitTEp StatEs.—In the Senate, to-day, Mr, Anthony introduced a bill (which was referred to the Committee on Printing) in relation tothe printing of the laws ofthe United States, which makes it the duty of the Secretary of State to furnish the Congressional Prinier @ correct copy of the acts and resointions of Congress as soon as possible after their approval; and said printer shall immediately cause copies of said Acts and resolutions to be printed, &e.: and it=hall be the duty of the Secretary of State to furnish the Congressional Printer a list of all newspapers authorized to publish the laws of the United States, to the end that said printer may transmit a cepy thereof to the editors of said newspapers for publication, Provision is also made for printing the postal conventions between the United States and foreign countries, It is further provided that all letters and docu- ments to ‘ann trom the Congressional Printer, relating to the duties and business of his office shall be transmitted by mail free of postage. Sxwator PomERoy, of Kansas, occupied the floor to-day in a carefully-prepared, argument. ative speech upon the reconstruction question, which was listened to with much attention by the Senate. Saux or Inox Gabs.—The Senate passed a joint resolution this morning authorizing the Secretary of the Navy tosell such iron-clad Vessels as are not required by the interests of the service, at a price to be determined by ap- praisal, to be made by a board of five Naval officers.

THx Conpitiow ov Avraina Ix SouTH Can- OLINA—RELATIONS BETWEEN PLANTERS AND FREEDMEN —General Howard, Commissioner ot the Freedmen’s Bureau, has received a report from Brevet Major General R. K. Scott, Assist- ant Commissioner for the State of South Caro- lina. In the Charleston district much com- plaint has been made against the negligence of the freed people as laborers: that they would not do the amount of work they should; that they absent themselves to attend religious and political meetings, thus losing themselves, and causing the planiers to lose also. In many sections they have worked well and given general satisfaction, but the operations of the Union ue haye been detri- mental to them, as it takes them from their work, which is more important to them than polititics, and they often reesive bad aa- vice through the league by designing men. In the Darlington Dietrict many planters, com- menced with nothing, and their credit bad been purhed to the utmost ‘The labor was terribly unreliable. Men who were capable of picking one hundred pounds of cotton between sunrise and noon would come from the field at night with from thirty to sixty pounds as the result of a whole days labor, and frequently they had as much more bidden in the field, which they would cary cry own benefit, for sty same, ‘and selling at price little better than ‘nothing. ‘The men also have frequently walked many miles to attend religious and political meetings, sometimes leaving without any reason or right, spending two or three days cach time, causing planters mucb incon venience and loss, and not improy- ing their own chances for a respectable crop.
