Im pommt of essential fact there i nothing to be said ‘@oncerning the President's jaunt further than has been ourtly said “already by telegraph, The trip down the Potomac was whiled away, the President, Secretary Beward and some members of the party, by invitation, sitting aft until late in the evening, The Secretary ‘was in one of his easiest colloquial moods, and con- ‘versed on all subjects, simply pausing occasionally to call the President's attention to some historical landmark ‘om ome or the other bank. There was no gathering of ‘enthusiastic crowds at the Seventh street pier as the party took leave of the national capital; there were no ‘Drasen-throated plaudits sounded as the ete=mer, thritl- ing in-every timber with the heavy tug, tug, tug of ite Jungs of iron, crawled away from the wharf; in short, thus far there has been nothing of very salient interest about which to write, and Tsball, therefore, be parddned 4f my letter should be, not only brief, but commonplace 4m material.

In this, however, they are doomed to be disappointed, if I an rere informed, it being the President’s intention toslip off quietly in the direction of Raleigh on the twenty-five minutes past three o’clock train. At Acquia Creek—to retrace and take up the thread of the narrative where I left it—the party were noise- Jeesly disembarked, and by the light of the lantern dimly bornipg, as gallant Sir John Moore was buried, transferred to a special oy where some few cur- pe sod and | rans the train moved slowly abreast of the s‘ation at dericksburg and the shouts of the crowd brought everybody to his feet, Some rubbed their eyes and looked as if they would like to ask what could be the matter; others yawned drowsily, and at every jull of the shouts turned themselves about for a renewal of the the sleepy Anite ! ‘was then escorted to the carnages in woit- Ang an iemaalin Gummvceinenes Renee o/00) after an hour's conversation, the deputation took leave, and the members of the party were one by one shown to their attended service over late in Reception don and Raleigh—Speéeches of Welcome and Replics of the President, &c. Rauun, N, C., June 3, 1867, ‘The President's party have just arrived inthe City of aks, Raleigh, and aro occupying the rooms engaged for them at the Yarborough Hoiel. The party at this point consists of the President, Secretary Seward, Postmaster General Randal}, Colonel W. A. Moore, General R, 0. ‘tyler, of General Sickles’ staf, who has escorted the party from Washington; Colonel J. R. O’Bieroe, of the United States Army; Colonel A. H. Seward, son of the @ivil, federal and whilom Confederate. The party left Richmond, the City of Hille, at twenty- fave minutes past three o’clock in the morning, heving ‘Deen driven to a special car of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, and were speedily whirled away, at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, in. the direction of Peters Durg. It was drowsily raining as the party left ‘the Spottswood House, and as the train rattled ‘and whirled through woodlands and past bamieis and Distorical earthworks the feeling indueed was dreary ‘and desolate enough. The raindrope tapped {itfuily egainat the window panes of the carriage, and knocked ‘with gusty fingers against the painied sides of the vehi- @e, Just wakened from s brief drowse, most of the party were in anyihing bet vivacious humor, and so continued @elock, Jarratt even in Progress of the journey.

The President expressed his thanks fer the kind reception, and hoped be might im the fature be able to reciprocate. The @roway suite of his Excellency were then escorted in Glese carriages to the hotel. Aa bour was consumed here, when the President was waited upon to the car by the officials of the city and a delegation from North Caro- lina, who accompanied him to Weldon, At Reams’ Station a short halt was made, and a recop- tion held similar to thas which bad occurred at Peters- tein plunged tuto interminable barrens, ovly omerging atintervals to haa! up in front of some dilapidated and whitewashed station, around which know of people, mostly freedmen, had gathered, Belicld, which will be remembered as the yseone of Goneral Kauta’s disaster, was the noxt Taslting place, and here a small group of persons hat gathered who greeted the appearance of the pufiing engine wiih sporadic shouts, At this point a Toprosemtative of the unrepentant made his appearance, ‘and havin'g Anquired for him among the bystanders, in- sisted upon Jaking the hand of Secretary Seward, re- marking at the,eamo time that he had been through the confederacy and would stick to the South watil the end; to which the Seen tary replied, “so wil!

Again I say, I bave no words with which adeqnately to express my feelings, and must but briefly yess you for this manifestation of your respect aud regard. ‘The President bowed, having concluded, and Mr. Battle, turning to Secretary Seward and Postmaster General Randall, addressed thein as follows:— Mr, Srcnerary or State axp Ma. Posrmasten Gen- ®Rai—I am likewise commissioned to offer you a cordial welcome toour State. We earnestly hope that in your Progress you will paas your time agreeably, and on your return will retain pleasant impressions of our people and State, SPERCH OF SECRETARY "REWARD. Secretary Seward replied as follows: — 1 can certainly say for myself-—for I do not nodertake to speak for Mr, Postmaster General Randal here, at the threshold of North Carolina, I find myself under a peculiar embarrassment. I find the Secretary of State of, the United States overshadowed by the Seoretary of State of North Carolina, This produced laughier in the crowd, owing to the marked contrast in the weight and stature between the two Secretaries—the North Carolina Secrotary being six fect four inches and a balf, and as heavy in proportion. The Secretary, resuming, spoke as follows:— GrNTLEMEN OF THE SvaTB or NontH Canorina:—I am happy to be welcomed along with the President, one to the manor born, to the State of which he is a native. J accompanied the President with pride and satisfaction on this visit to bis native State; pride and satisfaction because he has honored me with his confidence in the administration, and satistled because I cah bear tes- timony before the poople among whom he was born, as T always cheerfully do: before the people of my own native State, the people of our common country and world, that his only objects are restoration of peace, harmony and prosperity throughout the Union; satisfied still more, because I believe his conduct of public affairs has been {n all respects not only patriotic but wise and benevolent, I thank you for this cordial welcome in the name of the authorities ot North Carolina, All the world know we of the national administration held all all the fedoral States within their proper constitutional spheres, On the otver hand, it becomes us to show, as T trust we shail while we remain here, respect for all the proper rights of North Carolina, with loyally and submission to the constituted. authorities of this ancient and honored commonwealth, Gentlemen, I thank you for the weicome you have extended. Mr. Seward retired, and Mr. Randall, stepping for- ward, replied to the welcome as follows:— POSTMASTER GENERAL RANDALL’@ REPLY, 1 also return my thanks. The only reason, I suppose, 1 am not overshadowed is because there 13 but one Post- master General, Like my friend, the Secretary of State, I also have much pride in visiting North Carolina; proud because I come to visit the birthplace ofthe Hon- able President of this t nation; proud because the office of President is bigher than any place occupied by any potentato of tho Old World, and because all may see the moet prominent man who represents the power and institutions of the people, and because he, atter the tribulationa through which we have passed, bas an earnest hope that prosperity may, in all its fulness, fo!- Jow the peace which now prevails throughout the land, and that we may in all respects bea united people, speaking with one voice, and that voice for the glory and perpetuity of the nation. I know this is the feeling which animates the a as well as the great mass of the American people. their hope and prayer being have one body, and that sound one; one faith, and that a stern one for tho glory of the republic. United stares Marshal Goodenow was the first to moet Colonel) Moore, Mr. Johnson's private secretary, by ‘whom he'was introduced to the President, ia his arn introducing the Raleigh delegation, ‘The party was then escorted to the hotel table, where refreshments had been deposited, and occupied half an hour in desuitory badinage before the starting of ihe train, an At twenty minutes part ten o'clock the train Jeft ‘Weldon in hazy distance, the rain baving .ceased alto- gether and the sun breaking through the élouds st intervals, and the President greeting groups at every station, Through a dreary, barren and desolate tract of country the President and suite were hurled through swamps and over bridges, with deep gutters, in the direc- tion of Raleigh; past Warrenton, past Pleasant Hill, and past s dozen other stations, qhere groups, with about seventy-five per cent of negroes on the averago, were gathered, and ail of which the President cordially acknowledged by showing himself at the rear of the car ‘and bowing. ‘. At Kittrell’s Spring, about thirty-five miles trom Raleigh, a sumptuous table bad been spread at the expense of the Old North State, and here followed an hour of revelry, in. which the din of forks, the popping of corks, and the fizzing of the molten amber rose above that of half a hundred interming!ing voices, while quaint pictaresqne faces of all complexions pecred in at the windows and at the open door as the feast went on, and bated voices asked imn- ploringly, ‘which is the President?” At the several ‘stopping places on the way many persons, while and biqck, approached the car to shake hands with the Pre- sident and converse with him. Among the incidents, an old negro woman, rushing through the crowd at Warren depot, seizing the President’s hand, exclaimed, “Bress de Lord, I’se been praying night and day for this day to, come round dat I might seo de President.” A genuine black man came up and introduced himself as ‘Cwear Johnson, saying ‘‘dat’s a good name.”’ The Presi- dent pleasantly replied, “Yes, I think so; it will not disgrace you if-you do not disgrace it.” An hour passed on, and the shrill jingle of the beil Raleigh road, : Crowds now appeared at every station, and at twenty minutes past four o'clock the capital was made, and the party prepared to alight from the car.

The Impeachment Commities have fvichea their ta bors for the present, After examining several import- Ant Witnesses to-day, they adjourned to the 26th of June, without agreeing to impeach, but passing a vote of censure nevertheless against the President, The quee- on of impeachment was warmly discussed, but resulted in @ vote of five against and four in favor. ‘he five wore Messre, Wilson, Churchill, Woodbridge, Marshall and Eldridge; and the four in favor were Messrs, Boutwell, Thomas, Williams and Lawrence. All the republican members voted iv favor of eoneuring the l’reeident, and the two emocrats against it, 4 ‘The mbeting on the 2th inst. is to enable the mittee to meet the Improbable éontingoncy of a July session of Congress with a report of its proceedings, The resolution of censure declares that the President bas been guilty of acts which merit the condemnation of the people, During the primary consideration of the vote of ceasure, Messrs. Boutweli and Thomas voted in opposition to it, but finally changed their votes. In the discussion of this question, Mr, Eldridge took the ground that the Committee was tranzconding its duties in con- sidering or paselng such & reeolution, There has been no authentic pubiication of the toxt of the resolutions passed vy the Judiciary Committe They are in effect that the President has not been gully of high crimes and misdemeanors subjecting Lim to tm- peachment, but that he has committed acts meriting censure, the first clause failing to 6, and the last pre- vailing by a yote of 7 to 2 The Election tor Mi ipal Officer: of the Republican Ticket. Contrary tothe oxpectations of many of tho citizens of Washington, among whom, it seems, were the Gene- rai commanding the department and the Superintendent of the Police, the election has passed off without dis- turbance of any kind, with the exception of one or two Vigorous misanderstandings among the negroes them: selves, The ceremonies of the day appear to have been commenced by the colored freemen as early as two o'clock this morning, when delegations of them sallied forth with tin horns and other barbarous instruments to arouse the more slothful to the Important work of the day. Long before the polls were opened a long line of sable voters, three and four deep, were in waitiny at most of the precincts. As a large proportion of the negroes were too ignorant to answer the questions pro- pounded in such a way as to coincide with their record on the registration lists, much valuable time was consumed in taking their votes, and the consequence was that large numbers of whites who were not in the habit of voting “early and often’ wero prevented from casting their votes, As a case in point, at ten o'clock this morning, at the First precinct, Firet ward, the list stood two hundred and twenty-five colored and one white, and in the Second precinct two hundred and twenty-seven colored and one white. From all acconnts the colored vote was almost entirely polled, while @ large portion of the white vote failed to get in, At one of the polls in the Beventh ward a large body of whites, who arrived soon after the poll was opened, found several hundred negroes in line; by an easy calen- lation it was found that the whole day would be consumed in taking thelr votes, so the whites formed @ second tine, and for a time the votes were taken alternately from each, until the negroes and their advisers, observing the advantage the conservatives were gaining by the arrapg°*ment, made complaint that to receive votes from the second line was unfair to the first, and the Superin- tendent ‘of Police eo decided. A great number of the newly enfranchised, teeling the importance of doing their duty to their country in this her hour of need, entered fhe line before sunrise and did not get their vote de- posited until a short time before the polis closed. One of these persevoring citizems emerged from the crowd about the window just before seven o’clock this evon- ing, shaking himself and Jooking immensely relieved. Meeting a relative of the colored fair sex he was asked if he had ‘got through.” He replied, “Yes, I got through, but I done been there since seven o'clock this morning.” The damsel looked delighted, and not a Little proud to be ¢o clowely related to a man who had voted, One negro presented as his ballot a whole package of radical tickets, and when asked what he meant he answered that he wanted to “vote the whole ” Certain of the republican warriore mustered or about one hundred and afiy egross, who bad bepn registered, but, as it was ciniméd, erroncously, and were busily engaged this morning in correcting the register. It bas been statea this evening that several hundred ‘‘roughs” of Balti- more made an effort toget a train to come here in order fo Assist the Washingtonians in polling ther “niggor vote,’ but were refused by the rafiroad company, and after endeavoring to obtain other means of conveyance without success gave up the project. The story seems to bave no better toandation than rumor. The returns which have so far been received indicate the election of the repabliean ticket, including A. Q, Hail for Collector, F. A, Boswell for Register aud C. H, Biise for Surveyor, by s decided majority. The Fourth ward has probably gone conservative. The Regulations in Bankruptcy.

THR POOLS AT DR. UNDERWOOD'S, At the Broadway Club House, on Broadway, near Twenty-seventh street, a large and very respectable crowd of admirers of horseflesh and professional and amateur turfites assembled last night for the purpose of ‘aasiat- ing” the vivacious and loquacious Dr, Underwood in disposing of pools on the races of to-day’s meoting. Among those present were many of the heavy weights (pecuniarily) of the sporting world, and the bidding, aithough brisk, wag not heavy, as will be geen from the \gures given below. For the first race—the Underwood gift, for all ages, mile heats—there wore four entries, viz:—Dr. Under- wood's Metairie, a three year old; canford’s Dot, a four year old; Alexander's Virgil, ' three year old, and McDaniel’s Mittio, @ three year old. As soon as the pools were opened it was evident that Virgil was the fa- vorite, but Metairie was close on him, while Dot and Mittie dragged along very heavily. The principal pools on this race were as follows: — $58 60 70 100 50 80 60 890 OO 0 60 610 it 5 4 5 8 4 Btn y prise Is aa fer, tues (wart | alm possible a inasmuch as Mr, Morris’ attics "were much wivefasl avoritos that a” Bid the other entries was considered almost throwing money away. It wae announced that Mr, San- ford would not start in thig race, and the eutries of Mr. Morris were pot up against the field. The Doctor used bis utmost exertions to coux the dollars, but the owners of the latter wore chary and would not invest. At length a ‘five hundred or no 1”? was started; three hundred pooled on Morris, while ‘the field’? was someon up w only one bundred and twenty. There was of course ‘no pool.”” At length the Doctor tried another tack; he put up the flotd for first, and after some very hard work, and by no little talking, be obtained the folowing pools :- $135 100 125 Morris ‘The feld....... 50 39 51 offered $600 on ‘tho field’? tious to take A gentleman present then to $1,600 on in bet nc ope eenned aw: it, and the $1 ere put in the pool on condition of a “two thousand or no * but after er long straggle the samo gent bought it in at $1,499, AT LAVAYETTR HALL the pools were sold by the well known turfite Jake Somorindike, and here another Inrge crowd “was in at- tendance, but the bidding was fully as low as at the above mentioned place, On the mile heats race the Principal pools sold were as follows: — Metairie, 30 50 19 28 Ww 16 Mitt . 5 9 In the Derby aweepetakes the pools were ou the four principal entries, as follows:— lorris, 95 60 55 40 Alexander 30 21 ig 13 Bash... 9 6 5 5 sanford, 8 8 2 2 There were no pools soid on THR THIRD RACE, * Delaware being the only entry, and having the fun all to himself, will walk over the track.

To abate this trouvie and afford immediate relief, which the honest disburse- ment of four millions would give, an order dissoiy ing both Boards was issued. I say now unequivocally that Governor Wells is a political trickster and a disun- ionist, I have seen him myself, when I firet came to this command, turn out all the Union mon whe had sup- ported the government, and put in their stead rebel s0)- diors, some of whom had not doffed the gray uniform. 1 have seen him again, during the July riot of 1866, skulk away whoro I could not find bim to give bim a guard, instead of com ing out a8 a manly representative of the State and Joining those who were desirous of preserving the peace.
