THE PRESIDENT ARD SENATOR WILSON.
WASHINGTON, September 16.-Se?
nator Wilson had an interview with
the President yesterday, and a free
interchange of opinions is reported to
have ensued in relation to the policy
of reconstruction and the cause of
Mr. Wilson's supposed disaffection to
the Administration. The Massachu?
setts Senator remarked afterwards to
a friend, that howovir ho might ditfor
from the President* on questions of
expediency, yet the latter was un?
questionably honest in his intentions
to perpetuate the Union by conciliat?
ing thc South, and that he had his
respect for intending right, however
he might fail in accomplishing the
object. Mr. Johnson "ml doubtless
feel duly thankful for "ne Senator's
patronizing condescension.
CONDITION OF WIRZ.
It was reported this morning that
Capt. Wirz died during last night,
but on inquiry at the Old Capitol, it

diers' check books, has baen sentenced

COTTNTERTJETT COMPOUND INTEREST
NOTE.
A dangerous counterfeit was receiv?
ed at the Treasury, to-day. of a hun?
dred dollar compound interest note, '
bearing date May 15, 1865. It is
much better executed than any coun?
terfeit hitherto presented, and re?
quires some scrutiny for its detection.
Both the face and back are printed in
paler ink tha?; the genuine, and on
careful examination tho lettering on
the face appears defective. Brokers,
bankers and others should compare
the offerings with the genuine before
accepting them. No other denomina?
tion than one hundred of compound
interest has yet been counferfeited,
and all the compound interest notes
except the one hundred can them?
selves be taken without special exami?
nation. One of these counterfeits
was sent from New York and the other
from Philadelphia' *
Advices from Jamaica, West Indies,
