He taid that he had conversed freely with the prominent men of Georgia, and met with a great many pruminon* and influential men at Milledgeville, rfbt concocted with the Legislature. Ho gave it as his decided opinion, from conversations and correspondence, ihat sn overwhelming majority of the people of Georgia are exceedingly anxious for thi res toration of the Government, and for the State to take her formor position io tbe Union, to have Senator j and Rep resentatives admltte'T to Congress and enjoy tho rights and discharge the obligations of a State under the Constitution of the United States as ameuded. He bt i llbves the sentiment of the people of Georgia iu the ex ercise of tbe right of Secess.on, was resorted to from a desiro to rendjr their liberties and Institutions secure, and the belief on their part that this was absolu'ely ne cessary for that object. He further believes that their opinion now Is that the surest if no', the only hope for their liberties, is the restoration of ths Government of the United States and of tbe Government nuder It He beUeves the people are sufficiently satisfied with the ex periment never to resort to that modo of re Iress a gain by force; whatever their abstract views on the subject they have come to the conclusion that it is botter to ap peal to the forum of reason and justice, to the hall of legislation aod tho courts, for the preservation of the principles of Constitutional liberty, than the ar ena of the army.

Howard has written a long letter to tbe House Committee on Freedmen's Affairs in regard to further legislation respecting his Bureau. He urges that it is necessary, for several reasons, among which may be specified that a bill signed by the Executive would give gr. at moral weight and power to the Bureau, as its ene mies believe, or profess to believe, that the Government is opposed to its operation. Something should be done, he also says, to foster education. He believes it would be a measure of real economy to make provision for schools, and suggo-ts that grants of public lands have often been made for much less worthy objects than this would be. He urgeB this consideration at ?orne length. He thinks the duty of tbe officers and agents of the Bureau should be more clearly defined by law, and not left so much to military orders. Ihe Sea Island ques tion should be settled by statutory euactment, tho more e pecially as the fretdmen who hold grants under Gen. Sherman's order are thoroughly convinced that (he lands rightfully belong to them. The President should be empowered to retain volunteer officers who are need ed an ngonts of the Bureau in service after the muster out of their riHpectivo re';iiu?nt?. TUE F .".MANS. Tho Was! iogton correspondent of New York Time* of 13th sayi- : Tho Government is not unmindful of tho Fenian movements iu this country, and especial] ' in the North east. We are not at liberty tu suggest what course th? authorities intend to pureue waen tho exigency shall arise, but we can say confidently that the Government will nut permit any combination of mon wbatevor to en tangle the United States in unnecessary difficulties wl-h frieudlv powers. President Roberts, of the Fenian Brotherhood, is in Washingto . He is open in his condemnation of the movement? on the Northeastern frontier; as, according to his views, it wul not aid the cause of Irish Independ ence. the reconstruction committee. From the samo writer we learn that? There is not even a cuess as to when the Houso wi 1 proceed to the consideration of the joint resolution from the Beconstruc ion Committee, naming tho conditions 'on which Tennessee may resume its relations to the Federal Government. Nor is it known that tho Com mittee bave recently matured any measare with regard to the li e rebellious States in addition to those already reported. Tbe Committee continue to examlno wit nesses', thus daily adding to its already large accumula tion of evidence, which, though ordered to bo, has not yet been printed. Enough matter has been MUectod to make several ponderous volumes. 3he reported amnesty proclamation. Ho also states that the report has been repeated from time to time for tbe past threo mouths, that the Presi dent is on tbe eve of issuing a general amnesty procla mation. There is nothing to warrant such rumors; nor, bo far as can be ascertained, has the subject been brought to tbe attention of tbe Cabinet. The policy of snch a measure has not been agitated In official circles; and whatever has been said in newspapers on the sub j ct Is mere conjecture. rumors oy cabinet c ha no ks. Tbe HeroJd't correspondent under date of the 12th* says: Tbe usual number and-variety of rumors concerning Cabinet reconstruction have been afloat for several days past, but none of them appear to have much truth In their composition. Tbe Radicals openly asserted for months that tbe President was practically poworlesa to remove any of his Cabinet officers, inasmuch as tbe Sena'e would never confirm those appointed to succcod them, snd the present triune- ' - would retain thelr positlouB until successors* were confirmed ; but in this they aro greatly mistaken^. All the laws and prc:edents establish tbe President's), power of removal. He can ap point a successor to any! member << k* .atdnet at any t me, wbo would thereujpon enteren the duties of the office to which be was .B^olnted/mmodiately, and act as the bead of the rti partiurt?Nt/ iiinn, or until ho was confirmed or rejected by tbe Senato. There is no law pre -Settling that inch appointments- ahall be ircmcJiaccly. 'sent to the Equate, and wveks of delay might ensue be fore -the appointee woald be rejected if obnoxious to that body. Tbe President would then havo the vacancy to refill, and the Senate the same right of rejection, and so on indefinitely. The essential and practical right of removal the President undoubtedly has, as more than one of bis Cabinet wUl learn rbould they provoke or challenge him to extrciso it This Bubject has been re peatedly discussed since tho organization of the govern ment and the same conclusions invariably reached, No longor ago than tho winter of lHOU-ol tbe Secretary of War was removed by the President *" 1 Joseph Holt ap pointed to his place without the L isent or sdvlco of tbe r cnate. That body was not even, notified of the removal until after the passage of a resolution introduced by blidell, of Louisiana, calling upon tho President for In formation on the Bubject the test 0atu. In reply to a resolution of inquiry from tho Senate, Postmaster-General Denulson iuforms that body tbatno appointments to offices of salaries or emoluments under the Postoffice Department have been made in 8outhorn States without tho teat oath being taken unaltered and unexplained. senator btbwabt's proi-oscd constitutional amend ment. Tho Senator from Nevada who recently, on the shallow recommendations of the Radicals, has magnified him self in his own estimation into the proportions of a statesman, seems to be v -ry uneasy in regard to affairs of state, and displays great indecision in tbe responsi ble task of leallog the distractions of tbe country?a labor which he had of late entirely assumed to himself. This morning, tbora being a large gathering in the gal leries to listen to tbe eulegtes on the late Senator Foot, the Nevadi Senator seized tbe opportunity to offer a 'ubs itute-for the late amendment to his original resolu tion, of which the following is a copy : Article ?. Section 1.?AU discriminations among the people because of race, color or previous condition of servitude, either in civil rights or tho right of sut frige, aro prohibited; bnt the States may exempt per sons now voters from : cslrtctions on suffrage bereifter imposed.

Obligations Incurred in aid of the insurrec tion, or of war ag inst the Union, and c'altns for com pensation of slaves emancipated, are void, and shall not be assumed or paid by any State or by tho United States. New York Mews. Tbe New York Herald, a ft* days ago, in an editorial, charged the Radical party with tbe intention of building up a "genuine nigger aristocracy." The Trilmr.e tab he Herald to task about it, and bandies snch compli mentary epithets as'-Bar" and "villaiiL" The Herald of Friday lact, in another editorial, makes zu elaborate d?fonce of the assertion. It winds np by aayiug: We bavo proven from bills paused by tho Radicals that fhey desire to give the nigger unconstitutional rights; to protect him by military jurisdiction; to cm ploy numerous extraordinary agents for his beneilt; to eut'orce his contracts by martial law, to depnvo those wbo differ with him of the right of jury and of previous Indictment: to furuish him a special tribunal, bcynni which tbere is no appeal; to graut him uullmlted sup port; to reut or ru; chase lauds for him; to erect lor him schools and asylums at the national expense: to organize a b>-hU m for his entire care, support and con trol; to give htm the preference ovrr intelligent foreign era in regard to citizenship ; to create for him a special police; to maintain for hliu a etauding army, whose only business is to guard his domestic and industrial iuterests; to devise for him a series of laws nevor boforc contemplated iu our history; to establish for him safe guards never provided for the white race, and to dis criminate iu his favor ayaiust the whites. In other wordH, we have shown that "tho party opposed to tho President xcuid build up an aristocracy of three mil lions of negroes, having peculiar rights and privileges, and superior to white ineuiu every legal respect." And now we leave the public to decide who is the dar," who (a ihe''vUlain.*' who has been guilty of "a wicked, de liberate, villainous lie." Tho fright of the Canadians over tho demonstrations of tho Fenians at Kastport, and their excitement over the capture of Head Centre Murphy and bis friends at Cornwall, mpcar to have in no way abated. The resi dents of Campobello Island are flymg from that threat ened point, while St. Stepheus, and indeed all !< ew Bruns?i<.k, is arou'ed and agitated by the appearance of a small Keuian force at Calais. It was supposed that the Fenians were leaving Eastport for Calais, and were about to make a descent on St Stcpnens instead of Campobello. At a'l poin'B iu the British provinces fears appear to be entertained of a raid. The government au thorities appear to think tbe Campobello demonstration es a feint i niy, and are preparing for the appearance of an invading force along the Magara frontier. Cabinet meetings were held daily, volunteering was very brisk and much feeling and a great deal more fright is gene rally manifest on the part of the Canadians.

In the House, Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, offered a resolution to inquire what legislation, If any, is neces sary to prevent the introduction of cholera into the United Su es.

The House pro ceed* d to the consldt ratloa of the Army BUT, and after oonsidorable debate it went over until Monday. TBX AHMT DILI, The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, under date of 13th, sayi : The Army Bill came up In the House to-day as the specia1 order, and its consideration was proceeded with. It is in the sha^e of a substitute reported by Mr. 8chcnok for the Sonate Bill, and it proposes to establish a tkeleton organization of fifty-five regiments of infan try, twelve of cavalry, and five of artillery, having a mtmtmnm number c f twenty thousand men in time of peace, but capable of being expanded to eighty-two thousand wh?n rendered necessary. Ten cf tue regi ments of infantry are to be of veteran reserves, aud eight of colored troops, officered by competent officers from those heretofore in command of these classes of troops respectively. This bill will meet with strong op position, and can hardly hope to piss without mat rial amendment. It attracts cIcbo attention in the House, where there are a largo uumbo-of ex-offlers of trie trmy, many ol them aolo and practical, among whom may be mentioned Generals Banks, Garfield, Schenck, Rousseau, Paiuc, Ketchan, Hayes, Demiog, Loan, Harding, of Illinois, Cobb Stillwcll, Buckland, Farns worth, Washburne, of Indiana, and others. THE ASSASSINATION cii.vcues AQAINST MR. DAVIS. Another correspondent of same dale says: The House Judiciary Committee are holding daily sessions for the purp' so of examining into tho alleged connection of Jeff. Davis with the conspiracy plot to assassinate Mr. Lincoln aud his Cabluot. It appotrs that Judge Holt, who is at the head of the Bureau of Military Justice, has been engaged for a long time in accumulating evidonce in regard to thia matter. Ho has got enough, it Is claimed, such as it is, to hang not only Jefferson Davis, but all tho leading officials con nect- d with the ix-Confederate Government, This evi I donee has been transmitted to the Judiciary Committee. Most of tho testimony which has been furnished the I Government is from persons of doubtful character.' President Johnson always regarded it as entitled to little credit Secretary S antou and Judgo Holt thought it sufficiently strong to warrant the trial of Tavis and others by a military commission.

STRIKE Of THE CAP. DBIVERS IN NEW YOltK. The strike of tho car drivers in New York, says the Times, still continues, to ihe great inconvenience of tho public, aud tho detriment of tho railroads. Yesterday the sti ilto became general, and not one r,f tho city lines was rt.unlug its full complement of cars. The drivers will not work thcmsi Ivos, and are not willing to allow others to tiko their places. a few cars were run upon each road, (he drivers In overy instance bolug guorded bythopolico Occasionally a diroutor, superiotendont or shareholder drovo a trip, for the purpose, doubtless, ot Bhowing the public that tho roads were not dead but eleoping. a mass meeting of drivers was hold iu the afternoon at Union-square, and was addressed by sev eral membors of tho Car Drivera' Association. The speakers thought the companies would come to terms If the drivers remainod firm. They also counseled the preservation of the peace, and abstinence from bad whiskey. The directors of the various roads are bb ob stinate as the drivers, and it is doubtful when the diffi culty will be adjusted.

KING & C?SSIDEY, April It stutb6mos Charleston, 8. 0. Fifteen Years Ago HOSTETTER'S 8TOMACH BITTERS was struggling Into notice against tho prejudices which everything new, howevor excellent, is doomed to encounter. TO-DAY it stands at tbe head of all the tonic and alterative prep arations in existence. Its celebrity has evoked many imitations, but no rivals Physicians pronounce it the only safe stimulant that has ever been introduced into the sick chamber. In the Hospitals of the Army and Navy, tbe surgeons find it tho very best tonic for con valescents, and teport it as invaluable for sustaining the vigor of troops cn the march,as a r.rncdy for scurvy and all scorbutic affections, and as the only specific for sea-sicknes*. California and Australia lave emphatical ly endorsed It as the Mix en's M edicink par excellence and in Vpanish America and all the tropical climates it h considered tho only reliable antidote to epidemic fevers. There is no mystcrv about the causes of its success. It is tho only stomachic and alterative In which are com bined tbe grand requisites of a mild, pure and unvltl ated vegetable stimulant, with the finest selection of tonic, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutic, aperient and depun tlvo herbs, plants, roots and barks that havo cvor been Intermixed in a medicinal preparation. 7 he Bitters havo this distinctive quality, which Is not shared, it is believed, by any tonic, tincture ur extract In tho world: they d-j not excite tbe pulse, though they infuse a wonderful deftreo of vigor into tho nervous system, and strengthen and sustain tho whoi- physical Organization, It is also proper to state that tbe Bitters are sold ex clusively in glass, and never under any circumstinccs by tho gallon or tho barrel. Impostors and imitators ara abroad, and tho only safeguard tho public hassgalust them is to see that tho Bitters they buy bear tho en graved libel aud uo'o of hand of Messrs. Hostettt-r & Smith, &ud the Government stamp over the cork of tho bottle. C April 14 THE BOOKS FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO The Edisto and Ashley Canal Company ARE NOW OPEN AT THE OFFICE OF MESSRS. JNO. S.
