[ Boston, January 18.?The Mayor re plies.to tbe oommitteo of laborers, who suggest extensive public works, and ex? press willingness to take city scrip, that such' expedients us suggested would greatly impair the future credit of the city, and in the end result in injury of tho working men, instead of benefit. The public funds cannot be,.used for unnecessary work. This plan would in? crease the already large class who lean upon tho government for support, instead of depending on thoir own exertions. In conclusion, the Mayor said: "The outlook does not appear to me at all gloomy. The effects of the late finnnoial disturbance are already passing away.

Yesterday afternoon, beforo the Re? publican Seuators resumed their caucus session, Senator Sargent called upon tho President, and mentioned to him the faot that he hud received an anonymous uote, in which it was stated that ou the 21st March, 1861, Caleb Cusbiug wrote a letter to Jede reo n Davis, recommend? ing Archibald Rootle, a clerk in the At? torney-General's office, to Davis' favor? able consideration. Roane huviug Strong Southern sympathies aud being an able scholar, was a contributor to DeBoio'n Review, and while briefly allud? ing to tho snbjdots which then divided tho North and South, Cusbiug spoke of them as the aauso of the ?ual separa? tion of the Union. Regarding this as an accomplished fact, the President, a short time thereafter, applied to the Secretary of War for the original of this letter, which was. produced?it being found among tho captured Coofederute archives. Tho Prefideut, on reading the letter, at ones concluded to with? draw tbe nomination, and oansed a com? munication to bo written to the Sonate for this purpose. The President, before ho nominated dishing, kuew that this gentiemaa had taken tbe State rights view of the questions which agitated the couutry just previous to the breaking out of tbe lato war, but that when Fort Sumter was fired upon, Cushiug made a patriotic speech, and offered bis services in a military capacity to assist in putting down tho rebellion. Others had, like dishing, declared that the Government had no right to coerce a State, yot when hostilities resulted, they were ac? tively found ou the side of tho Union; but now that this letter to Jeffersou Davis had come to light, stating so broadly^his disunion views, tho Presi? dent, notwithstanding his high appre? ciation of Mr. dialling's legal attain? ments, resolved to withdraw his name, apprehensive that his opinions, as ex? pressed in tho past, might injuriously affect the decisions of the Supremo Court, iu tbe evont of his confirmation as Chief Justice. Tbe President called an extra Cabinet meeting to-day, whioh continued fur nearly two hours, during which tho subject of tho Chief Justice? ship was considered. A -diort timo be? foro the President's Privato Secretary started for the Capitol, a long [otter from Mr. Cashing, through General Butlor, was received by the President, in whioh the writer' thanks tho Presi? dent for his kindness and partiality in nominating him for tbe great ofliue of Chief Justice, aud, us if iu contradic? tion of the numerous charges ugaiust bim from newspaper and other sources, ho expresses his conviction ou the pro? priety of tho several amendments to tho Constitution added since the late civil war; and, iu conclusion, utks that his nomination ho withdrawn from the Se? nate. Tho original letter of Gushing to Davis is in possession of tho War De? partment. Senator Sargent has a copy of it, which ho procured yosterday, by virtue of his Senatorial privilege, and which was exhibited by him to tho cau? cus. Nothing has yet been concluded us to a new nomiceo for Chief Justice. It is supposed iu official quarters that Gushing will soon leavo Washington for Madrid. Tho Durell committee have arrived. They were engaged ten days in tuking evidence, which is coming by express.
