LOUISV2L.IJ;, December 8.-At 7 o'clock
k last evening, not withstanding the adverse
? weather, thc several Presby terian congrc
I g?tions of this city assembled in thc
I Second Presbyterian Church, to take action
F in behalf of the Kentucky Board of Aid for
Southern Pastors. Hamilton Pope was
elected President, and Lev. li. Morrow,
Secretary.
An appeal was made to the audience to de?
monstrate their earnestness in this cause,
which was responded to in a spirited man?
ner, resulting in a few minutes' contribu?
tions to the amount of $4.000. This was
highly gratifying, as the Work has hut
foirly commenced, and testifies that the
hearts <f this people arc truly in thc work
of relieving the destitution of their breth?
ren from all qiwirters of the State. Reports
come to the Board that the Presbyterians
are fully awakened to the importance ot
immediate action, and a liberal support is
confidently hoped for. The Board have

From Washington.
WASHINGTON. December 9.-Gen. Danks
and Speaker Colfax have, promised to
lecture before the Negro Suffrage As?
sociation. It is understood they take
strong grounds in favor of negro suf
i frage. Mrs. Swisshclm's new paper, to bc
j started herc, will advocate negro suffrage.
I The United States Supremo Court now
! has before it the following case: Tho
i United Stales, plaintiff, in error, vs. Leroy
M. Wiley, lt involves this question: "Does
the President's pardon remit tho sentence
of forfeiture of rebel property, and re?
instate the rebel in all his rights thereto?"'
The Southern members elected to Con?
gress are still here. Some of them, be?
lieving that it will bo a long time before
they are admitted, contemplate returning
home and remaining there tr.itil the door
is opened to receive them.
.. There was quito a crowd of visitors at
the White IIouso, to-day, including mem?
bers of Congress. The representatives
from Ohio ana Kentucky were among those
who were admitted to an interview with
the President.
Friday evening last, a wedding of an in?
teresting nature took place in Washington,
between Col. N. W. Saunders, of Louisi?
ana, and Miss Cora V. L. Scott, (formerly
Hatch.) of spiritualism reputation. Rev.
John Pierpont, poet, performed thc mar?
riage ceremony. '
WASHINGTON, December 10.-Thc Repub?
licans are in a very anxious condition.
Men of conservative and radical views are
seen much in conference, and the result,
doubtless, will be a letting down gradually
from the Colfax-Stephens-Sumuer plat?
form towards that of the President. Iii no
other way can the Republican party be
kept together. I believe Horace Greeley
and Col. Forney are both working to this
end.
Whatever truth there may he in the re?
cently published rumors respecting the
President's .contemplated action with re?
gard to the Southern Stales, it is well
known that he acts in all cases affecting
the restoration as they arise; and thus,
while engaged in that work, is the best ex?
ponent of his own policy, none being au?
thorized to declare what course he will pur?
sue in the future.
WASHINGTON, December ll.--Leading
Congressmen from New England had an
interview with the President on Saturday.
Tho latter expressed the belief that
Congress and the Executive could har?
monize on a plan of reconstruction. Ho
expressed fears that, under the lead of
Thaddeus Stevens, the House would tako
a position which it could not hold.
Prospects of the Tennessee delegation
for early admission grow better every day.
Heavy lobbving is going on to procure a
renewal of the reciprocity treaty.
A Senate caucus was held this morning
on Stevens' joint resolution, without any
result.. Another will be held this after?
noon. Thc resolution cannot pass the
Se?alo without amendment.
Official advices received to-day from
Mexico arc favorrble to the Liberal cause.
The Imperial troops are constantly falling
back towards the city.
A Washington special correspondent tele?
graphs to Forney's Press as follows:
"The Union members of the Senate will
hold a second caucus or. Monday morning,
at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of consider?
ing thc reconstruction resolution offered
by Mr. Stevens, on Saturday evening, the
2d of December, and adopted in the House
on Monday, after the election ?d' Speaker
Colfax. So ne ambiguity in thc resolution
will necessitate a change, and a number of
Senators are themselves in doubt whether
tho Senate ought to concur in its general
scope and object. There seems to be a de?
termination to stand by the President
among the Republicans in Congress. His
message has given such general satisfac?
tion as to secure him the confidence oven
of thoso who do not agree to all his sug?
gestions It may be said of the President
that he is the most successful of our states?
men, because he has presented the most
generally acceptable pian for the solution
and settlement of our national disturb?
ance."
