The remarks of the President to the delegations who have recently called upon him are full and complete refutations of these assaults.

In the midst of their boastings, and at the very time when they considered themselves the strongest, a delegation of mulattoes called upon Mr. Johnson in behalf of the colored population of the South, to whom the P:esident ina few words disposed of every argument of the radi- cal negro worshippers, and that too ina clear and satisfactory manner. His: statements to the gentlemen from Montana were equally « refutation and a setiler to all the charges of his being « candidate for office, while it pre- sented to the people the fact that while he was working to restore the government and cared nothing for parties, those who were op- posing him were laboring for party at the expense of their country. This is the logical conclusion of those brief statements, and such will be the interpretation by the people, which the radicals in Congress will have to contend with when they return to their constituencies. The conversations with those two delegations met the charges on one side of the question. But there remained another phase of this readjustment subject which it was necessary for him to meet, in order that his argument might be complete, This he met in his ad- dress to the Virginia delegation, in a clear, forcible, logical and convincing manner. His language on all these occasions was simple, his arguments comprehensive, and so stated as to carry conviction to the minds of the great mass of the American people. His statements bear upon their face that honesty of purpose, that ardent desire to restore, strengthen and per- petuate the Union which the people have worked so hard and sacrificed so much to preserve. The arguments are, therefore, complete. Commencing with the danger that threatens the blacks if the schemes of the radicals are car- ried out, taking in the great importance of the country over party considerations, the neces- sity that the men who have been loyal shall administer the government of the Southern Judge G. G. Barnard, Robert Simpson, found gailty of picking the pocket of a gentleman at’ the Broadway theatre on Christmas evening, was sentenced to five years fmprisonment in the State Prison. Zeno Burnbam was put on trial on the accusation of having defrauded a lady of one thousand dollars by alleged mock auction operations, The case is still on. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Charles H. Smith and Bernard Cummings, convieted last week of robbery, and James Kelly, indicted for a similar offence, and who pleaded guilty to grand larceny, were each sent to the State Prison for five years. Thomas O’Brien pleaded guilty to stealing two barrels of sugar, and was sent to Sing Sing for four years, The Grand Jury wore empanelied and briefly charged by the City Judge. The jury in the case of Charles Koch, indicted for defrauding the Manhattan Gas Company, wero out ail day, and, failing to agree upon a verdict, were dis- charged last cvening from the further consideration of the case, There were three for conviction and nine for acquittal. The February terth of the Sapreme Court of Kings county commenced yesterday morning, before Judges Lott, Scrugham and Gilbert. A number of ez parte mo- tions wore heard during ¢he day. Motions for new trials in the case of Gongaleg and Pellicer have been made by their counsel, and aro now on the calendar. The friends of the Fenlan Brotherliood gathered in force at the Coopet Institute last night, the capacious hall being densely crowded by democratic masses, Elo- quent addresses were made in behalf of the claims of Ireiand to freedomn by4a number of prominent speakers, who entertained the assemblage until a late hour. A meeting of the creditors of the Columbian Marine Insurance Company was held yesterday afternoon, at which a resolution was adopted expressing confidence in the gentlemen appointed as receivers of its affairs, and requesting them to furnish a statement at as early a day ‘as practicable of its condition financially, and to wind up its business as soon as possible. ‘Tho National Temperance Alliance held a very inter- esting meeting of the newsboys in Brooklyn last evening. ‘Their hall was crowded, and the lads appeared to be very much interested in the exercises of the meeting.

City Inspector Boole has sent to Mayor Hoffman a com- munication requesting the latter to convene the Board of Health, not only forthe purpose of action to abate various dangerous nuisances, but also to protest to the Legislature against passing the bill to establish the Me- tropolitan Sanitary Commission. Mr. Boole contends that this commission is merely the development of the scheme of a party of aspirants to secure patronage and emoluments, and is entirely unnecessary, as existing laws and institutions are amply sufficlont to protect the health of the city and prevent the spread of disease. According to the report of the City Inspector, the ber of deaths in the city during the past week was showing a decrease of 64 from the mortality of the pre- ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE COUNTRY.

The eulogium on the life and character of Abraham Lincoln, for which arraugements were some time ago made by a joint fesotution of the two branches of Con- gress, was yesterday delivered by the Hon. George Ban- croft in the Hall of the House of Representatives, be. fore a crowded assembiage of the most eminent persons of the land, ‘The audience included the President of the republic, the members of his Cabinet, the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, all the Sena, tors and Representatives, leading army and bavy officers, among them Lictitenant General Grant and Vice Admiral Farragut; the foreign ministers, Governors of States, and many others occdpying prominent positions, The @istin- guished character of those composing the assemblage, the great reputation of the orator, the attendant cireum- stances and the solémnity of the event which led to this memorial of our martyr President, all combined to render the scene and the occasion very linposing. Mr. Ban- Croft's address, which was preceded by muste and prayer, glanced first at the manner in which the affairs of na. tions are directed by the Almighty, the birth, growth and progress of our republic, and the rise and culmination of the slavery troubles, and then proceeded to trace in a graphic and brilliant manner, from obscure boyhood to the time when he fell beneath the shot of the assassin, the career of the great man who formed the subject of the discourse. In the course of commendation of Mr. Linooln’s wise action in the many trying and momentous Questions with which he had to contend, Mr. Ban- oroft had occasion to refer to Louis Napoleon's invasion of Mexico, an‘, aitor rapidly reviewing affairs connected therewith, said:—"A free State, once truly constituted, should be as undying as its people, The republic of Mexico must rise again.” The oration occupied over two hours and a half im delivery, and many portions of it wore heartily applauded. In consequence of the memorial proceedings, no legis- lative business was transacted by either house of Con- grees yesterday; but after the conclusion of the cere- monies the Senate and House of Representatives were @alled to order by their presiding officers, and both ‘Unanimously adopted a resolution thanking Mr. Bancroft And requesting him to furnish a copy of bis address for Publication.
