The opinion will be one of the longest and most elaborate that has ever emanated from the Department, The Attorney General's office juat now seems to be overloaded with business,’ and its able director bas every moment of his time occupied. Mr. Botts as Jeff. Davie’ Bondsman. John Minor Botts wrote a letter this afternoon; from the grand jury room of the Circuit Court in Richmond, in reply to a note froma friend in Washington censur- ing him for becoming a bondsman for Jef. Davis. Mr. Botta says, in answer, that be will not allow himself to. be dictated to im these matters. He did everything in the best interests of the country; and before venturing to become bailsman for Jeffereon Davie, he asked Mr. Chartes O’Conor to in quire of his client if he had any objections that his moat determined opponent, his life long political foe, should, {n'a spirit of harmony and conciliation, attach his nanie to the bail bond Mr, Davis expressed no reluctance, ‘bat, on the contrary, was rather well ploased with the. maghanimity of the offer. A short interview followed, described by Mr, Botts as being in nowise compromising the dignity of either party, The President in the Streets Without a Guard. The time has come again when a President of the United States may walk the streets in safety, Yesterday President Johuson took a walk out on Fourteenth street wholly unattended—without guard, policeman or any- thing else to suggest the thought of possible danger. He took a quiet stroll, unknown to all save those who met him on the way and respectfully saluted him. The good old times of peace are returning indecd.

Mr. Speer, one of the de- tectives of the celebrated Baker, who figured in the famous sult of Cobb vs, Baker, was also interrogated at some length. The subject of the pardon of one hundred and ninety Geserters by President Johnson occupied the attention of the committee, and Mr. Samuel I.

The Republican City Convention, composed of white and colored delegates, has nominated the following ticket for municipal officers at the election which is to take place in June:—For Coliector, A. G. Hall; Regis- ter, F. A. Boswell; Surveyor, ©. H. Bliss. The conven- tion adjourned at two o’clock this morning, having been in session seven hours, The conservatives or demo- crata have already selected their candidates. It 18 worthy of note that the republican convention 4\@ not pay any attention to Senator Sumner’s request, that at least one colored candidate should be put in nomination. The convention let poor Sambo severely alone, and only recognized the claims of ordinary white men. The South in Favor of Military Rule. Judge Marvin, of Florida, late Provisional Governor, ‘and the present Senator elect, is of opinion that the ma- jority of the old citizens of the South would prefer always to live under military role, and without repre- seviation in Congress, rather than to come back into the Union with the disabilities imposed and with universal suffrage; and he thinks the peace of so- clety there is better preserved by authority of military commanders than it ever will be by the civil authorities, Shoald the States generally become ‘‘ reconstructed,’’ as required by Congress, and thas get beck into the Union, there ts, says the Judge, a natural antagonism of races, and a prejadice even stronger than the natural hostility, which cannot be overcome, especially under circum- stances of compalsion such a8 are now prescribed to the South. Old masters will never be able to bring them- selves into submission to civil government administered by thete former slaves. Hence there will always be an element of danger at the very basis of the structures proposed on wegro suffrage. He has no doubt, however, that the work of reconstruction now in progress will result im the reanion of ali the States, There is some question among Senators elect from the ‘States now here, among whom i Judge Marvin, whether, in the event of their States being received into the Union under the Military Reconstruction act, they will be allowed to take their seats, It is the general opinion that they will not, without « re-election. This ia the view of Senator Johnsen, But there seems to be strong reasons to the contrary, and in favor of their re- ception, The Southern States afe certainly States, although it may be outside of tne Union, They are recognized by Congress as States thus existing by the very requirement that they shall make their constitu- tions conform to the will gf Congress before they can be admitted into or received into the Usion, Hence, as States, they can legally, it would seem, elect Senators prior to their admission into the Union. his is ye done by Territories, which become, after forming their constitutions, States outside of the Union, and after their admission their Senators and Representatives pro- coed to take thetr seats, Poflard Tectares at Lynchburg.

In his programme he states that the order of prohibition ie revoked, No order, however, was ever Jesaed, and instructions have been simply given to allow afl sach notorietics to indaige their fantastic and sense- lesa rhetoric. Postal Affairs. A uniform rate of progression for charging postage, having half an ounce asthe anit throughout, has been adopted, as well for correspondence sent in transit through the United Kingdom between the United States and the British colonies and foreign countries generally, for the intervational correspondence between the United States and Great Britain and Ireland. In future, there- fore, the postage upon all letters for whatever destina- tion, exchanged in the mails with Great Britain, will advance by « single rate for each half ounce or fractions thereof the same as upon domestic letters. Postmesters ‘will take note of this important change, and levy posts age accordingly. Admiral Davis to Comnmnd the Senth Atlan- tle Squadren, Rear Admiral Charlies H.

Starvation in Misstestippt. Accounts from Missiasipp! represeat the destitution in the soutffWoet portion of that State as most appalling. Atarvation actually stares the veovle in the face. They 3 eer emcees have made no crops since tho war closed. Money to buy Provisions was not to be bad upon any terms, and a great many farmers who are working from twevty-five to thirty hands would be compelled to abandon ther crops simply for want of means to furnish provisions to their employés, The prospects for the future are truly frightful and heartrending.

A gentleman who bas lately travelled through the principal portions of Darlington, Ohester, Marion and Sumter districts, South Carolina, and ip portions of Anson county, North Caroliaa, states that the present prespects for a good crop of cotton are very favorable, The plant was already up io many instances, and was doing well.
