WASHINGTON, August 12.-Reports regarding the President's resignation are utterly groundless. Gen. Rousseau has arrived, and will have an in? terview with the Russian Minister to-day. _ There was a meeting of the Bar, which was largely attended, to consider the Fisher-Bradley dispute. A committee was appointed to investigate and report at an adjourned meeting. It is officially stated that ene value of the New Orleans a?d Carrolton Railroad, assigned to the United 8tates in part payment of the New Or? leans defalcation, is not affected by the mortgage held by the Fourth National Bank of New York. The first communication from the Executive Department to General Grant, Secretary of War, .ad interim, was issued at 2 P. M. to-day, and re? fers to Louisiana matters. The Revenne receipts to-day amount to $1,002, 000. There are further changea in the Cabinet pro bably. Stanton Suspended-General Grant Secre? tary of War. WASHINGTON, August ll.-The President, at 10 A. M. this morning, sent a communication to Stan? ton suspending from office as Secretary of War, and directing him to transfer the books, records, icc., to Grant, and informing Stanton that Grant had been empowered to act as Secretary of War ad interim At the same hour authority was sent to Grant authorizing him to act as Secretary of War ad interim, and directing him at_,once to enter upon the duty. At noon the President received a note from Stanton denying the President's right, under the Constitution and laws, to suspend him without the consent of the Senate or legal cause; but inasmuch as the General commanding the Armies of the United States had notified Stanton that he had ac? cepted the appointment of Secretary of War, ad in? terim, he (Stanton) had no alternative but to sub? mit ander a protest to superior force. Grant has assumed charge of the War Depart? ment, and appeared at a Cabinet meeting to-day for the purpose of considering certain questions with the territory recently acquired from Russia. Tko Conover Conspiracy. WASHINGTON, August ll.-The papers presented by Dunham, alias Conover, aa ground for pardon, contain no words impugning Ashley, Butler, or other persons. Those which professed to disclose the plot were filed subsequently, and in apparent? ly in despair of procuring pardon without them. They are altogether distinct from the original pardon papers. There is high authority for say? ing that, when the disclosures came officially be? fore the President, he decided to submit them to the public without further investigation or any attempt* to gather additional evidence which was said to exist. Prom Rieb mond. RicHJtoND, August 12.-Gen. Schofield issued an order to-day, of which the following is an extract : "Military Commissioners are reminded that they are to be governed in the discharge of their duties by the laws of Virginia, as far as the same were not in conflict wita the laws of the United States, cr orders issued from those Headquarters, and that they are not to supersede the civil authorities except in cases of necessity. In such cases tho action, or failure to ?let, of the civil officers, should be fully reported, in order that the Commanding General may hold tl em to a proper accountability .for any neglect of duty." Schofield wrote a letter to the City Council this evening, asking what amount of city debt was con? tracted during the war. In the case of Wm.

C., Wednesday, July 3' L Six feet two in his stockings, two pounds in weight and fifty years of age, \i bicund face expressive ratner of bonhom: shrewd, practical and political sense than aristocratic breeding or very high culture Janies L. Orr, Governor of "South Carolin emor to the extent to which South Caro in the present state of affairs, be said t< Governor. The typical figure of a negro, though shapely beyond the average of his race, f years old, of an ebon blackness that lc room for suspicion that a single drop < blood courses in his vei ns, yet showing his swarthy mask the illumination of inte and manly independence-that ?B Beverl; former slave and now representative of i and real governing element in South Carol These two men, both of whom I have n in Columbia (whero I have been tarrying i days since tho Convention adjourned), h&\ ly interested me; and, somehow or otb nave so associated themselves together mind-perhaps as types of the departing coming era-that I have thought a brief r a long conversation which I had to-day wi might have both a present and a histoi forest. To givo my report the more dh and vitality, I shall record it in the preci guapo used by the speakers in the free tali been having with them. II. I need not speak of Gov. Orr. His publi well known. At the beginning of the war considered one of the strongest opponi secession in South Carolina; but when hi took the fatal plunge he went with her, and Confederate Senator during the whole pe the Confederacy's existence. After the took a prominent part in reconstruction, "arm in arm" with Massachusetts at the Fl phia Convention, and was elected Gove South Carolina under her amended Oonsti which makes the term of the gubernatorii four years in place of two. The Governor'i is at Anderson, up in the hill country, wt commonly resides; but at present he is dowi capital transacting some executive businet we are stooping at the same hotel, I have h quent opportunities of conversing with hil nave been struck with the amia bili ty of his c acter and the acuteness of his mind. Tnouy swift-advancing political tide has, as will served from his remarks, rather swept beyoi of lato, yet I have no doubt ho is destined t an important hand in the reconstruction State. After a wide-branching talk in reg the war, tho conversation came down to the of reconstruction by my asking him how tb pie of South Carolina looked upon the Coi tional Amendment. "We were opposed to the amendment," sa "We went on Johnson's fine of policy, and t I amendment antagonized that, and as the 1 was left to us, we refused to accept it. Its rej in the Legislature was unanimous, there ben one out of 157 members in favor of the ai ment. The triumph of the Republicans in t elections of 1866," ne continued, "produced i ing of great uncertainty in the minds of thc pie. I went on to Washington in January, to make the best observations I could, and t a week or two consulting with the Senators Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, several other States." "Did you agree on any line of policy ?" "Yes;" after conferring together, we goti omendmont to the Constitution, which.wi posed to present to our Legislatures, and i they should submit to Congress." "What was its nature ?" "It embraced impartial suffrage, and tl moval of all disqualifications either to vote ot office. On my return, I presented tho matt the people in a speech made at Charleston they favored it." !* "And what became of it ?" "It was to have been brought before tho L lature of North Carolina, which happened th be in session; but some delay arose, and u while the military bill carno up. "What did you think of that bill and tho su mental one ?" "The supplemental bill was regarded as a improvement. Tho main bill allowed any oi call a convention, and there might have been a dozen antagonistic bodies; but the other pul calling of tho Convention in the hands of the it.\ry, which at least gave unity of action." "To what extent did these bills work dis ehisement of tho former electors of the SouU "On a fair interpretation of them I estin that between 4000 and 5000 would be disfranch This places us in South Carolina in an awk position. Prior to the war we had about 4 white voters and about 60,000 blacks of the vc I age. The disfranchisement reduced the whib I 40,000, and those who were killed or who during the war reduced us by 8000 more, lea us 32,000 white voters. Emigration and do among the negroes brought them down to a 55,000, which left them a majority of 23,000 us." "But was it not supposed that tho whites w be able to control the black vote ? " "Numbers were of that opinion. They thot that by reasoning with the negroes they wouli able to stow them that their interests wero 'ii tical with those of the whites, and that by 1 bringing over a suffletenl; number of votes I would be able to control tho Convention." "And what guarantees would you have given blacks?" "We would have had to guarantee them all ti political rights; but on the question of suffrag wa3 not personally in favor of going further t to admit blacks and whites to the privilege of i ing only on condition pf being able to read i write." "How does the second supplemental bill le you?" "By the rigorous rulo it has laid down it will duce the white voters by four ornvothousi , more, leaving us at present 25,000 white < 55,000 black voters, or a majorify of thirty Ihousi ! black voles." j "Do you then give up all idea of being able control the blacks on a conservative line policy?" "From what I have seen of tho Radicals who hi been sent down here to indoctrinate the negri and inflame their minds, and especially coloi orators who have come among thom, I have bc ? led to abandon all hope of having a Conserv?t Constitutional Convention. The obstructive ti dency has been aided by Governor Perry's lette which have sown dissensions among the poop and have tended to nuite the colored race agon us. The blacks have become perfectly conscic of their power. This has made them very bc and immodest and exacting, and the chances i that in the elections for a Convention a large ir joritv of colored delegates will be sent.'* "What do you suppose they will demand ?" "Their action in the Convention here tue ott day is a good evidence of what they will wai What the coming Convention will do is doubt f but tho negro leaders will inculcate the doctri (1) of levying such a tax on land above fifty or hundred acres as will compel owners to sell; ( they will be stimulated to disfranchise every m who bore arms m the rebellion; (3) to levy taxes on property and exempt poll and incoi taxes. Then will be presented the anomaly oi class of people wielding tho political power of t State and levying taxes on the property of anotli class who will have in reality no political po wt These taxes will cover schools; so that proper holders will be compelled to build sohopls for tl class who will not contribute a dollar for the et] cation of their own children." "Is it your opinion that they will demand offic and what do you think of their fitness for it ? "In twenty out of the thirty districts in Sou Carolina, the* negroes are in the majority. In tl district of Beaufort they are savon to one. Tl juries, therefore, in these twenty districts will 1 blacks, andnineteen-twentiothsof the ne-jro vote will be unable to read or write. There will be least six thousand of these people endowed wii the privilege of voting who to-morrow, if their e istence depended on it, could not count one bu dred. Those of more intelligence will be olerl and sheriff, tax collectors, mag.sfcratos, judges the Superior and Inferior Courts, and perhaps all the executive offices of the State." "Will they send negro representatives to Co: grew?" "Of the four representatives, I have very litt doubt that three will be negroes." "Are not many anticipating a collision of raci as the result of all this ?" "The Republican organization in South Car lina means trie organization of tho blacks again the whites, find the negroes being invested wii all this political power, it must be left to tb judgment of discreet and experienced men whi results will follow." "As the RepnbhcanTarty is now organized i this State, what proportion of the whites wi join with it ?" "The Radic?is probably won't get one-twentiet of tho whites-outside of Charleston and Greci ville districts, very few indeed. The party will I mainly composed of negroes and of whites wb think "the party will give land to the landless." "How will the people, the old .body politic, vof on the question of convention?" "Most of our people will vote 'convention,' an try to do- all they can, but they will #be able t carrv very few delegates." ^"Then, Governor, your VIOWB of .thc futuro an on the whole, discouraging?" "If the collision of tho races is kept off for fou or five vears, intelligence will do hore whai it doe everywhere else-control the votes; but we have fearful ordeal to pass through meanwhile; and bavo not the heart to seek to raise thc voil tba shrouds the future." Such are the important points in my talk wit! the Governor. LTL Beverly Nash, as you remember, became knowi to fame by a speech which ho delivered hero las 6pring on the same stand with Gen. Wade Hamp ton-a speech which gave great joy to the conscr vatives as furnishing proof of ;i political harmon.' between tho blacks and their old masters in Soutl Carolina. Beverly called on mo at my hotel dur? ing the Convention, and invited mo to come ant see bim at his "shop;" so having a sparc ofter noon, I repaired os directed and found him hare by the market place in a shop, shanty or boutique where he is engaged in vending watermelons anc gingor-pop. Until Sherman emancipated him, he has been all his life a slave iii Columbia, whrthei he waa brought from Virginia thirty years ago, at the age of 13. During many voars he wasliired out os a waiter at ibe United States Hotel in this city-a situation which brought him in contact with most of the leading m&n of the State ; and this advantage joined to his considerable stock of native intellect explains the superiority he shows over most of his race. He learned to read a num? ber of years ago and he can write a passable hand, thou gb he complains he knows nothii ''grammar." The conversation' which ei took place in the intervals of time when he not, with good-natured alacrity, waiting 01 customers, and though the phraseology and of the words employed may seem strange as ing from the mouth of ono who but lately v Southern siave, yet in every case they wero as were used by the speaker, and were taken i at the moment and on the spot. "Well, Beverly, what do you think of tho p cal prospect in South Carolina ?" "I think, sir, tb at the Republican part j carry tho State. They certainly will from down; but it is more doubtful in the up cot districts. There aro twenty-one districts wh regard as sure, and nine that ore doubtful Georgetown District there are 18,000 blacks only 2200 whites-there oan't be anv doubt a that going Kadi cal; but where tho whites ai the majority things will go against us." "Do you indorse the Radical platform adc hero the other day ?" "Yes; I indorse it heartily. There are ? things I would not have put in; but if you ta platform you must take it as a whole." "Then.have you not gone back on the Const tive sentiments you expressed io your speec last March, when you spoke with Wade Ha ton?" "No Sir; I should still Uko to see all disabil removed from the whites, and that we shoul stand on the same footing; but when people Pm not a Republican, that's nonsense. Here correspondent of the Charleston NEWS who, ^ ing from here, says: 'Not by any means all hundreds of negroes in and around Collin: however, are abandoned, body and soul, to new movement. One class, represented by E clever, cautions, sensible men as Beverly N stand aloof from tho schemes which contempl the elevation of the negro at tue expense of white man, and maintain a species of "mast inactivity," content to wait upon the dcvolopn of tho future; the consequence is that in a n sure they aro politically tabooed.' Hereisa ( which I have written in reply to that. Wha think of it ?" COLUMBIA, July 2 Editor CliarleUon News: I seo in the Charleston NewB of July 26, over name of "Felix," that there is a class of me: Columbia, represented by such men as Bev Nash, that maintain a mas.erly inactivity in .bard to the Convention that has just adjournet wis city. Ho said that we were desirous of taming the respect of our old masters (thank ( wo have none now). Now, sir, I wish it un< stood that I stand upon the platform of the Cn Republican party ot South Carolina. Ii this retain their respect, I shall be happy to have if not, I shall say to them, as I say to others court the smiles of no man at the expense of principles, and I shall work and vote for the '. fmblican party, and no other. I would also hat thcro never hos been any complaint agai the officers of the Bureau here-they are gen mon. There is no dissension among us, for we going unanimously for the.Union Republican p ty, and against all others. Yours, W. B. NASH "As to my not being a Republican," ho conti I ued, "why I established the first Loyal Leaf j here. That was in September, 1865. The spe( you referred to has boen greatly misundersto there were many things put in the report thi didn't say, and many th nigs left out that I did 8 But it got me into a great deal of trouble, s when I went West last spring to Mississippi, take out some hands for General Hampton, : friends passed resolutions denouncing me ta "traitor." Dm content to leave the matter as Ci gross has fixed it; but, as I said before, 1 sboi like to see the disability taken off overv white mi and if we wero to ask for it, it would attach I white people to us and comont tho friendship 1 tween us. "What do you think of the formation of a mt erato Republican party?" "Poor prospect. They may got enough to foi a nucleus; but their only hopo would be to get t colored people, and they can't do that. Govert Orr could do a great deal if he came out. He wot be the hes t leader for that pa ri v. He is a ehre politician, and iu the Districts of Anderson, Pit ens, Creon ville, Spartanburg, Laurens, York a Union, he can dictate nearly as much as he lik< My impression is that the Southern States will Republican. The fooling against tho Democrat Party is very strong; and whenever a straight-o Republican Party is formed, our people will st tain its candidates against all others. "What do you say of the workings of the Mi tary Government ?" "'I don't like military, government, myself, but has had a wholesome effect. If the South hi gone back into tho Union under the adoption the Constitutional Amendment things would ba been bad for us colored folks." "Wny?" "Bocause the people were not conquered-n changed. Our rights would have boon a law < tho Statute book but that law would have been dead letter. The law makes the juries the judf of evidence, and they would have discrimin?t* cd verso] Y to us. It's no use to give tho black ma the right to testify, unless you give him the rig! to sit on juries. I vo aeon the working of it. colored man testifies, and the jury goos strict! against it, saying tho nigger is ignorant, and this, that and the other; though I hoard Jude Dawkins say in Court, here, last March, that E had never, in forty years, seen a better witnet than a colored mau that had then been up testify ing." "What do you think of the colored people hole ing office?" "I want to seo them in some offices-not hig ones. What our people want in this matter is mor to test the sincerity of the government." "But do you behove that tho oolored peoplo wi be so much purer than other people that, havin the power, they wont want to exercise it ?" ? "Our leading men (colored) aro against th blacks holding high offices. Now, some wanted while ago to run a colored man for Ma vor o Columbia; we all booted at it. But if Mr. Robin BOO (a white citizen of Columbia, and an old resi dent), should run for Congress, wo would all sua tain bim. We would rattier have white peopl that have lived among us than strangers. We ari I feeling so almost unanimously. This has com' about recently, and it is a great change. Th colored people have grown suspicious of strangers They know that good men don't come South-the; have business at nonie, and from what we havi seen those that come are' adventurers with botl hands open, Uko birds of prov." "Pretty good judges of human nature, you; people ? " "Yes, that is one point in the colored man-ht will know more of your character in three dayi than you will of his three months. It has beet bis business all his Ufe to find out the way a of tin white man-to watch him, what he means/' Then reourring to the subject of offices, he ?aid : "If ] was in the Constitutional Convention I should cor tainly in ovo a resolution-1 don't know whether ] would carrv it, but I would certainly voto to re move the disability from Judges of the Courts o Common Pleas; for of course our own people arc unfit to exercise this function, and we have ir South Carolina some of the most just and upright Judges that eyer lived, When the judiciary is pure liberty is preser/od." "You noticed that clauso in the Republican plat? form adopted the other day, favoring such a tai on lands as would compol the owners to sell-what do you think of that measure?" "Our people will all favor heavy taxation. There are a great many who aro }n favor of confiscation; but I am opposed to it myself, for I have no idea titles would hold after tho present generation. There were a good many up-country delegates tc the Convention who favored confiscation; but they found out it would not do, and so did not hring it up. If Congress sees flt to imposo confiscation, they know best; wc should make no expression ol opinion about it. Tho South Carolina system of taxation is ridiculous. It imposes some? thing like sixty cents por hundred acres. My idea is to tax pine lands, valued at one dollar per acre, twenty-five conts per aero, and so, pro rata, for othor landa. This would force owners oj large tracts of waste landa to sell and givo us a chance, In all countries large land monopolies are oppressive, though I have read a book which traces the prosperity of England to its large laud owners. Tho only argumont againat.tho polioy of dividing the State into several farms is that it makes too many poor men and there aro no men of wealth to build railroads, canals, &c. I want to seo as many large capitalists as possible, Now, rice is a culture that small farms canuot succeed in, unless they work in companies. Rice ia a staple that you have got to turn water in on, It must be periodically turned iu to get the weeds out. But you can't uso salt, water, and hence you nave to dam it by building lovees. Poor men have not the.iuGans to do tho extensive ditching and damming required. In fact tho whole policy of the State will have to be o'ianged before sniaU farmers can be successful. For instance, thoro is tho " rango law," which compels farmers to koep other pooplo'8 cattle out, not their own in. This would bj hard ou poor farmers, for wood for fenc? ing is very scarce and high, and thc cort loads of wood you seo brought in are mainly stolen from tho lands of Hampton and othors," ".That raises a question I want to ask you, how is it about this universal charge uf"stealing brought against the colored people ?" "Woll, fir, it is only too true. Tho colored peo? ple, raised in slavery, did not think thero waa any harm in takiug from their mastors, But thero is not half as much stealing now BB during the first year alter tho war, when tho owners of plantations drove otu1 people off, anti, being helpless, they had to steal. During slavery they learnt to steal 'from an insufficiency of food,, and that was the reason bogs could not be kept in this country, Ono plan ,ter would give his hands a peck of meal and three pounds of bacon a week; but porhaps on the next place tho hands would get only tho meal and no bacon. Of course they would kill hoga if they got a chance, and the master never oarod how much they stole from others. Lying was another vico bred by slavery, and I remember reading in Shakspcare, when a character who has been charged with lying says: 'I Ho? no! lam a free? man-it is only ??aves that lio," "How is it about industry among the blacks?" "There is a trreat improvement in this respect over thc condition of things in 1803 and 18CC. 'But even then tho idleness was chiefly owing to want of pay. There ia ouo thin" the" colorod people will have to get over, and that is oxtravaganco. Wheu our folks havo money there is no more liberal people in the world. There was alwayB moro money taken up at tho collections in our churches than in thc white churches. This was very well in ita way, but wo muBt now learn ocohomy, And as for industry, there would not be a more industrious people on earth if the planters would only abolish the contract system and nay wages." "You don't Uko tho conti act system, then?" "The contract system waa good at first, for if the colored hands bad then been paid wages, they would haye gone off. They had not learnt steady ? . habits or what freedom is. Then, if a man had money, he was not going; to stand the hot son, and he would go off at a critical time for the crop; so it was better to keep the hands the whole year round. But now the pay system is better, for the people ore willing to work if thoy are sure thov will get paid. Half wages at the end of each month, and the whole balance at the close of the year, is the best arrangement." "Did you see that quotation from a late speech of Fred Douglass, that if the 8outh had emanci? pated the slaves and put them into the army, thc Confederacy would have been a fixed fact ?" "Yes, sir, and I said so during tho war. Tho goat mistake the South made was that it did not ow the black man as well as tho North did. The colored men would have fought well for the South. But it was curious; a planter would willingly send bis sons to the war, but he would not let his slaves go to work on the fortifications." "Now, tell me, was there before the war any general desire among your people for freedom ?" "Oh, yes, indeed I" "Why did not more get it ?" "On account of the impediments in the wav." "Did you ever feel like escaping ?" "Yes, but! was very unfortunately situa tod. f had an infirm mother, and for seventeen years I had to tote her in my anns, like a child. During tho war we were very well informed of the state ol' affairs. We used often to get Northern papers, and they were read before the St. Cecelia Society, to which I belonged. Frequently we had to burn them for fear of discovery. Before the war I read part of Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was a gentle? man who had a copy of it in his trunk at the hotel, and I used to do little snatches of reading on the sly. I aba ve since seen tho Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin, and am astonished at its accuracy. I don't know where Mrs. Stowe got the facts, but there aro several cases that I was knowing to myself. If I had been caught at those tricks I would have very likely been hanged." "Have you any lear of a war of races here in this 8tate?" "Oh, no! I hope not. I don't seo why wo should not all live peaceably together. But after things aro settled, I should like to see a return to tho Constitution, for I am a good deal of a 'strict con? structionist' myself-." But let this stand as representativo of tho utter? ances of two citizens of South Carolina. LIBRA. It is reported that the French have annexed three provinces in Cochin-China. They have boen for several years in possession of the three pro? vinces of Bien-Hoa, My tho and Oia-Diuh, with an aggregate area of 2,338,000 hectares, and a popula? tion of 1,500,000, and have obtained more recently a protectorate over three other provinces. Tho dis? patch probably means the entire incorporation of j the latter provinces with the French dominions. Cochin-China is one of those Asiatic countries i which the Catholic Church has, for more than century, been firmly established, and whero its rapid growth has only been checked by bloody persecutions. In such a country, france has a good prospect of success, and is likely to render greater services to civilization than she has done in Mexico. THE National InleUiaencer, of Friday, in its "European Co rr oap on donee," has a sub-heading, "Ireland as compared with other portions of J England." The perpetrator of this genuino bull ia of course innocent, and we judge from the general flatness of his letter, is not an Irishman. THE DAILY NEWS WE HAVE NOW ADDED TO OUR NEWS?
