Announcing Candid.ites S3,A*. in adrarte??. Interview Uetween 1'rcsident Johnso:; ?nt! thc Virginia Delegation.- - V'ASH???CTojf, FfbritTv 10, lbMfi. Tue Virginia delegation was received In the President ti-day. Mr. Baldwin presented the resolutions of the General Assembly of Yirgiuia, aud k?? low-dd thc presentation by a n-;etch expres sive of the endorsement by thti people of Vir ginia of the President's pjfi'T, sa?d that they recognized the Government of the Uni ted States as tbeir Government, the Consti tution as tbeir Constitution, arid pledging, in good faith, tue:- support io the President in tho wise ootir-e he pursues. The President responded, thanking theni for their visit, and expressing gratification at meeting so many intelligent, respectable and responsible citizens o? Virgiuu, bealing tho sentiments expr?->ed iu resoiul-uus ut' the* L'.-gishiture. He declared ? bis iletexipj^ation nut to bo iureed ?'.ito the position that any State hat over boen oa- n the Union, and said, in conclusion, that ud hop?d all tho peo ple* of this country, iu good falta and in (be luluie-s.i id their hearts, wouki. tor; *h'.* pur pose of the maiuttuaocb cf the Cunstituiiou and' the pres ervation of the Union, lay aside every other feeling f-r tho good of-.the com mua country, and with uplifted laces to h(.*ven, swear that our gods ;i?:d our altars, and .ali else, shall sink in tho dust together, rather ?uu tills glorious Union shall uot be preserved. At thc ouclusiou of the President's re micks, Mr. lia!.?win iutroiuc?d the members of the. committee to tho President, who, ns? their gaines were called, stepped forward aud shook him by the baud. Thc President reiterated that he bad DO object beyond the preservation of the Union, aud said, ia the course of his remarks : '. Ii now I can only arrive at a point at which these States arc all restored, each h'iviug it* reorientation- in the National CuunciLs, with tao Union restored so that we can once mort proclaim peaca and good will umong the people of tho Uuited States, it will be to me a happy day. I care not what may bc said in taunt or jeer ; 1 care not what may be in timated, but-1 teli you that, whenever I ?h di have reached that point, the measure of my ambition will have been filled, and more than filled. _?_ The Eilect of the Speech. Tu relation to thc President's remarks to Tied. Douglass and bis associates, the cor- j respondent of tho FLrald writes : The President's speech to Che cabre?* del egation yesterday, fell like a bombshell in tho radical ranks, and created for n time the rtmo3t consternation. Some of them so far lecovered their equipoise thia morning as to discuss its probable efFects on legislation and j party politics. It was quit? amusing to watch j SUch nwmwThnd-^nnnnn ..J 33-?*..an'1 endearing to sorrowluily draw from the | countenances cf each other aconsolation they could not find in their own. The great mass of people here endorso the President's senti ments heartily, and rejoice that an opportu nity was so happily afforded for their frank ar.d exnlieic utterance. Ben. Wade called at the milite l?qpso, looking the very embod iracnt cf indignation and pr^rr: up wruth. The serenity of Henry J. llaymond acted as an antidote, if any were needed, for wc have not learned that the Presidential equanimity Was greatly disturbed by bis blustering; A meeting of thc people of the District of Columbia, without regard to party, is to b" called -o meet in this city on the 22-1, to en dorse thc policy of the President. -? ? THE LATE DISTURKAXCES AT CHARLESTON. -Negro soldiers have been disorderly aud even riotous at Charleston. The News, of Monday, thus notices an affair which at one time threatened serious consequences : li Qa Friday afternoon a number of colored soldiers, recently discharged from service, were .so disorderly upou East Bay, near Ad ger's wharf, that a dctacbnier?t of the guard wero senlfor to quiet them. Lieut. Hendricks, of the police, with a squad of ten mea, weat down, and, after great difficulty and resis tance, succeeded iii dispersicg the crowd of about 2L/0 noa roes und arresti?g some eight colored EuidiesS. They were coffined iu the guard house tor the night, uud on Saturday murui.'ig we-rr. sent before the Provost Mar aba.1, wbo dischargee) them. "On Saturday a?ern.'Cn, at avout one | o'clock, another ri it tcok place, in King i street, atid adetaehtnont of the police, urder | the same officer, arrested several colored and j white soldiers, who were shortly after turned I over to the military authorities/' A HORRIBLE TBAGRDY rs FI.ORIBA.-The Quitman (Georgia) Banner says that a viry interesting young lady living at Moctice?o, Florida, recently became insane, and thus describes her act of self-destruction : On Tuesday night, as stated, and fur seve rardaysrprCTi'io?, ?he was absent from btr borne, enjoying the hospitality of a friend. At about ten o'clock she retired to her room. An hour later a youth, who was boarding in tb?same bouse, having occasion to pass bv the lady's door, beard ber ciferiog up to th": Throne of Grace an unusual fervent prayer, and pausing to listen, innsined be smelt burning raga. Immediately notifying the gentleman of the house, the. ; amil y rushed to the door of tire young lady's room, and bei og unable to eilect an entrance, burst the door open, when, oh! honor of horrors! there faft the maniac iu tbe centre of a feather bod enveloped in flames, whilst, with hands clasp ed together, she petitioned tbe God of beaven and carin. Upon entering the room tuc res cuer?; beard a voice, in tones if rapture, is sue from the flames: <; 0. ain't thia glorious ! -ain't I a martyr ?" Tho fire was promptly cxtirJguisned, when it was fo and the prjor la dy mnst have been burning for* some time, for from her waist down every Vortige of ' c!o?uir?g wa-s destroyed, nolffithstar.?Tng she ' was dressed in heavy woolen fabrics, and had on a broadcloth eloa'.c. The character of j clothing she wore was all that protected {be upper portion of her body. The flesh upon the lower portion of her body and limbs wus actually baked brown, and notwithstanding, we are assured she did not appear to anff?r pain. She wa? conveyed to her borne, and on last Saturday morning still survived, but by this, doubtless, bal passed to that laud where tbe weary find rest. TEXAS.-D.

Tho 'Hall was huog with black crape, and the ceremo nies wcro conddcted with much pomp and solem nity. The speciality of the occasion was an ora tion lo memory of Mr. Lincoln by Hon. Geo.

The negroes went, of course, ?>i ox plain to him their right ard to convince him of 1 thoirfl'uessto vote universally an ?usll ?lections. In rospense t?^nVaddro;ses of these delega tions, the President expressed, with auch frank ness and earucstless, his sentiments ea matters at present engroiring the public tuind. -He disap proved and condemned strongly tho policy and plans of the radical republican loadorf, wbicb, hi said, were fraught with great danger and calcula ted to stir up additional hatred, strife and blood shed. Ile opposed a ut el ess agitation of the ne gro-tsuffrago question, and the project of forcing thc Southern States to grant the negroes the privilege of voting. To his whits auditor* he stated that he was not a candidate for any oflice, and could therefore af ford to net disinterestedly arid aceorJiog to bi? eonielenUuus convictions of duty. We hope he will act honestly, in oocordaneo jrith his oft-de clarod policy, but as to Iiis not bel?g a candidate for any omeo and "all that sert et thing," it is mere demagogism-a vice ?rom which .Mr. John-. son is by no means free. . -,-;- ..

But in con nection ?ith this subj eat, the Phoenix is not al tigothcr lugubrious ; it iudulges in words of bright hope, promis? and encouragement for the fal len etty. It says the merchants and real estate owners havo, lin the course of the past year, done all they eould do under the circumstances ; and that there are indomitable and cheering evidences of the resolute will of her poople to bnild up Columbia speedily. And utters the conviction that before five years shall have rolled away, the Capital of South Carolinawill re-assort her rights, and be one of the moat beautiful and attraotive cities ia the United States. Unreasoning Beasts! Tho vicious and mischievous negro suffrage Ra Heals, who are so fiercely inimical to tha Sonth, deny to the Southern States the Constitutional right to determino the qualifications of voters within their respective limits. And tho argument to sustain their courre is, that there aro hardly any loyal people iu tho South except the negroes ; therefore the negroes mu*l vote or frent?n will be given thc upper hand. What manner of treason do they mean ? Slavery and Secession uied to he tho great bugbears-the only obstacles to tho general prosperity and harmony. The Conven tions and Legislatures of the Southern States havo aboli-hed slavery forever, and rescinded their ordinances of seoession. What else is de nounced as treasonable ? And what can treason now do? Is it treasonable in a man who was a "rebel" yesterday, but is restored to the rights of citizenship to-day, to opposo nojtro soffrage? and to deny the social and physical equality of the blacks ? Is it treasonable in such a man to offer foran omce, or to be chosen to fill ono ? Is the Amnesty Act to go for nothing ? Is the "treason" of the r?bellion (<A?y call it "rebel lion ;" we call it the grandest war on record) a loper-sore, a tuint that is to last forever ? If net. then what does til this talk mean whieh declares that there aro few loyal people in the Soqth cx: .---y > f-iZ"^.^BS!JBMBSSSSBS?BSJS*?ff^tT??uo " lugio " that there never can be any " loyal peo ple" in the South, except the blaeks, unless it be such aa some Radical clique or oligarchy shall pronounce to bo sueh ?

Any act of gc ernment that diminishes that confidence destro; the proper equilibrium existing between thor and is thereby productive of injury to tho coe munity. It is difficult to comprehend bow it would 1 possiblo for the industrial operations of society I be conducted with any degree of certainty or o der, where governmental interference was inte posed io tbs business of individuals. Capita under such circumstances, would unquestionab! seek investment where its employment would 1 mere*afe,and labor, always seeking capital, won .'allow in its wake. These are well establish* principles of political economy, and scarcely nei elaboration to render them intelligible to the mo inexperienced. Stay laws enacted by legis! atur produce all of the evil results which arise fro g i vern men tal intermeddling in the privato a if a i of individuals. By interfering in the contrae of parties, they destroy that certainty and con dence which exist between the parties thereto affeot the calculations and operations of trad mado and expected to result from the performan of them, at a certain time ; and wholly deranj the business of the country by withdrawing cap tal from its healthy and accustomed channel The debtor being authorized to postpone the pc formance of his solemn engagements, to some i: definite period, eagerly takes advantage of tl privilege, and rarely dreams of settling with h creditor, although he may be fully able to do s In fact, he believes that as long as the law allot him to neglect the performance of his obligatio it would be impolitic to do so. The oreditor, who multitudinous and ramified concerns depend fi their support and continuance upon the faithf performance of his debtor's engagements, Cm that by the favour ex ten dad through l?gislatif grace to the debtor, his operations aro imped? and finally stopped, and that the whole mach?n ry of trade ii eventually brought into irreguh action and disorder.

They benefit simply those who ar unwilling to keop thou* solemn engagements, am pay their just debts ;-a class least of any enti tied to favourable consideration from Government It Will scarcely be. doubted then that at least t this extent Stay Laws are impolitic But a more dangerous result produced by then is, that they tend to dethrone public moral*, pub lio honesty, and destroy national character. J government that authorizes the non-performane of tho private obligations of its citizens, sanction a breach- of faith, and favors the cultivation o lax morals, which cannot result but in weaknasi contempt, and eventual ruin.

A distinguished member of Congref a brought this story to tho attention of tue President last evening, by saying that it was reported that he (the President) had declared his rc: construction policy a failure, and that he had determined to remove Governor Poirpont and appoint a Provisional Governor. In re ply, Mr. Johuson said there was not a word of truth in the report, that he had never inti mated or entertained any such purpose, and that ho should on LO consideration interfere in the internal affairs of Virginia or any other of the States, further than to enforce obedi ence to the laws of the Onited States, should any State attempt to disregard them.
