Respectfully yours, (Signed) ANDREW JOHNSON, President. To the Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON, Washing? ton, D. C. The news that the President had taken this decisive action created the most intense ex? citement in the city. RECEPTION OF THE NEWS IN CONGRESS. Immediately after tho two Houses of Con? gress met, the Speaker presented the following communication from Stanton, covering a copy of the President's letter given above : WAB DEPARTMENT, / WASHINGTON CITY, February 21, 1868. J SIB: General Thomas has just delivered to mea copy of tbe enclosed order, which you will please communicate to the House of Repre? sentatives. , Your obedient servant, EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. ^ Immediately after the reading of Stanton's ] communication was concluded, Mr. Covodo ' moved thc adoption of articles impeaching ^ the President. Mr. Nicols objected. c The Speaker decided that it was a privileged i question; but the matter was finally referred I to the Reconstruction Committee. Stanton had not vacated he War Office up T, to dark this evening. p The Senate was still in executive session at 8 o'clock. General Lorenzo Thomas has officially ac- j ^ cepted the position of Secretary of War ad in? terim, and will apply tD the court to expel Stanton. OTHES WASHINGTON NEWS. C The President has made the following nomi- ? nations: General McClellan to be minister at ' the Court of St. James; James R. Hubbell, of Ohio, to be minister of Ecuador; Major-Gene? ral George R. Thomas to be Lieutenant-Gene- 1 ral by brevet and General by brevet. In the Senate prolonged personal explana- * tiona occurred involving Harvey's alleged dis? patch advising South Carolina of the reinforce? ment of Fort Sumter. It was asserted that no such dispatch was seat. It was also stated hat the dispatch WUH inspired by Seward and approved by the Cabinet. Mr. Cameron be? came warm, saying that if Seward intimated that Harvey's dispatches had Cameron's or tho ' Cabinet's approval, 8eward said what was un- ' true. A memorial from Kentucky negroes was pre? sented alleging that they had no rights, and asking relief. The consideration of the Renconstruction bili was then resumed, and an executive session followed. The Supreme Court has postponed all ques? tions involving the constitutionality of the Legal Tender act until the next term. The Republican sena tors held a caucus moot? ing this morning ou tho Alabama dilemma, but adjourned without action. Major Done?8on and Merriwether, agents of | tho Mississippi Levee Board, are here. They urge a Congressional appropriation for the levees of the Yazoo basin, extending from I j Memphis to Vicksburg, on the east bank. A | ] meeting of the friends of the measure was held last night at Senator Fowler's rooms, which was attended by the Tennessee delega- | j tion, and many members from sections not im? mediately interested. The necessity of Con? gressional aid seems conceded, otherwise vast and productive tracts will be flooded. Major Donelson and Mr. Merriwether aro hopeful of j securing the appropriation asked by tho Mis sippi Leve6 Board. The members of the National Democratic | j Committee, appointed at Chicago, meot hero at 12 o'clock to-morrow with closed doors. Among the mattera to bo considered in private I 1 session are the powers of the Committee men | * from the Southern States. Our European. Dispatches ?BY ATLANTIC TELEGBAPH.

On the Conservative side it was asserted that tho white nion of the State never would sub? mit to negro rule, aDd the men who fought un? der Lee would Booner come out and he in the graves with those who had gone before them. Tho name of Lee elicited applause from the white spectators, which was checked by the Chair. Tho speaker said the whites wished tho blacks well, and would be willing to be taxed heavily to colonize them on the beat lands that tho government owned. Two black dele? gates replied, urging the right of the negro to ??lTrage, and his capacity to use it for good. The convention then adjourned. NORTH CA KO LIN* A.

THE UKITED STATES AT THE PARIS EXHTBI riON.- The Secretary of State has just received .Tom Commissioner Beckwith a table which ?aa been carefully calculated and verified from )fticial data, at Paris, and which shows that, witta all the drawbacks and obstacles which the United States representation labored under, ihey are number one in grand prizes, and ex? ceeded every nation except France in the gen 3ral proportions of awards to exhibitors, and in the proportion of gold and silver medals ind "honorable mention." Austria, Prussia md North Germany slightly exceed us in their proportion of bronze medals to their numbers it exhibitors. lu the general average we are just double the rate of Great Britain and her colonies. Taking all things into consideration, rbis is considered, perhaps, the most marvel? lous triumph at a competitive trial of tho ie 511 Its of the inventive and industrial energies )f the American people; yet we were far from jeing fully and fairly represented. Taking ;hese as a criterion, however, the natioual irido may well bo flattered by tho ovidence of )ur capacity to compete with the world. POWDERED HAIR RETURNING.-A late parish 'ashion letter contains the following : I am assured on good authority that tho ashion of dresses a panier is to bring back mee more that of hair powder-tho real pow ler of Louis XV.'s days. I hope I am not ?uilty ot gossip, but it is whispered that a cer? tain gre it lady's hair is beginning to show the nevitable thin streakes of gray, and that some if the young fair beauties who surround her aave hit upon the device of powder. Tho first iialf of tho season at the Tuilorics is announc? ed for thc 221 instant, and there is a good deal if curiosity evinced about powdered heads on :he occasion. I suppose there are more bald aeadcd and gray-haired men at these Tuileries ?atheiings tha:i at any other receptions in I'aris. There are quite enough white locks to jalisfy the most ardent admirers of these boa - ry signs of age ; it would, therefore, be a pity f tho many young and beautiful women who compose and surround the court circlo use irtificial mc.ms to match the sterner sex. The jold and ebo.i locks which poets 6ing about are juroly far moro to be admired thau this pow? ter, which renders a bloni.e paler still, and ind most certainly darkens a brune. The probability of a continuous session of Congress honce tb the 4th of March, 1869, is 3cgiuuing to bc discussed among the members. S'early all the expressions point to a recess in lune for u couple cf months, a reassembling in September, if events require it, and then a recess until December. The present session cannot possibly complete its financial work before tho last of June or the early portion of July, and thero will probably be no adjourn? ments for the National Conventions of either party. THE CONVENTION. CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS, TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION FOR SOUTH CAROLINA, Tho business of the convention yesterday may be summed np in a single paragraph much talk and little work. The great fight ol the session was over a proposition to divide the judicial district ot Charleston into three election districts; but tho country rallied in strong force, and the measure was defeated. Charleston is entitled to two senators, but the "county of Edieto," which some ambitious member looking to future honors ptopoBed, was lei t ont in the cold. In the early part of tho day C. P. Leslie made a speech in reply to the attack upon him in the Mercury of yesterday; stated that the charges made were without foundation, and .-.egretted that, because he had endeavored to perform his duty to the people of Barnwell and tho State, that journal had seen .fit to indulge ixi a burlesque which was as cruel as it vas undeserved. His remarks being on a question of privilege, no action was taken tu-reon, aud the body proceeded to its usual duties. Last evening a caucus was held, it ie under? stood, for the purpose of completing nomina? tions; but with what result, we are not in? formed. Thc colored delegates are said to be exceedingly annoyed at the division of spoils, and a new "slate" is being prepared whereon will bo written tho names of the "lo-bc-distin guished," who expect to lill the proud placos of the Stile. F. L. Cardoza, Rev. li. H. Cain, and ono or two other colored mon have gone to Washing? ton as a sort of self-constituted committeo on a prospecting tour. First, their object is to find out whether a colored man, if elected to Congress, will bc "welcomed with hospitable hands," &c.; secondly, why Speaker Collas treated such a proposition, made by letter some time ago, with contemptuous silence; thirdly, whether tho convention is sufficiently Radical to bo a success in tho oyo ol tho boss loconstructionists cf Washington; and finally, whether any arrangement can bo made to carry out a land scheme, by which tho freedmen may enjoy their now petted day-dream as a bona fide reality. The general impression is that thc mission will provo a failure, and that tho colored peo? ple of the State will be most thoroughly dis? gusted by tho so-called friendly promises of tho Washington politicians. The probabilities grow stronger every day that the convention will not bo able to Onisb its duties before tho 11th of March. Much work remains to be done. Many heavy verbal contests are "cooking up" on vexed quostiona yet to bD considered, and at the present rate of progress, this limit to the session is not an unreasonable one. Meanwhile, funny thiuRS continue to bo ?aid and done on thc floor, which moko por- ; lions of the proceedings as good as a comedy, for instance, yesterday, ono of the delegates ( ?ccused another of unpremeditated smartness, ? ind to damago him with u regular "sockdolo- I jet" thatshould quench and make him forever ; iftcr hold his peace, said that he had "cut his ] jyo teeth befuro ho had done nussing." The < jame delegate handled tho Charleston mern- ? jere without gloves for trying to do some? thing which wo did not clearly understand, and ie indignantly declared that they were prcpar- } 3d to "sell their birthright for a mesa of part- : ridges." These sallies of rough humour novor ? Tail to "bring down tho houso," and naturally , ifford amusement which lightens tho burden of prosaic debate and relioves tho monotony of . liolding a chair down for five mortal hours. THINGS IN WASHINGTON. COLORED SOLDIERS AND AFRICAN COLONIZATION NEW SCHEME OF MR. PHELPS, MARYLAND -DEM? OCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING-ALA? BAMA QUESTION AND PENDING BILLS. Tho Washington correspondent of thc Balti? more 8un writes under date of February 18 : A bill is to bo introduced m thu Houso in a , few naya by Colonel Phelps, of Maryland, pro? viding for the speedy disbandment of all tho colored regiments now in service, and for rc- 1 organizing the same number upon terms which i will secure their ultimate colonization in Libe? ria. More efficient provision is to bo mado for their instruction while in the service, and a sufficient amount of their monthly pay is to bc reserved to secure both tlioir fulfilment of the contract and a comfortable outfit for them? selves and families upon their landing in Libe- ! ria. As thoro is no expenditure ol' money from i the treasury required by this ulan further , than that already incurred, the idea ?B consid? ered a feasible one. It is thought by those acquainted with thc condition of Africa that a straggle is impend? ing betwoen the antagonistic types of African ? civilization and religion, represented on tho one hand by the Christian und republican cum monwealth'of Liberia, ?ind ou tho other by tho despotic Mohammedan powers of tho inte rior. Educated and disci "lined velerauu from our army would, in view of such a conflict, prove a valuable reinforcement to tho infant republic, and might ultimately bear tho coot , of an expedition which, in thc moment of danger to the oxisloncc of tho American colony on the coast of Africa, our government would probably feel bound to send to its rescue hom 1 destruction. lt is confidently asserted that no difficulty will be i'ouud in recruiting the colored regi? ments upon tue terms proposed, or even a much greater number if required. The Ameri? can Colonization Society, under tho presidency of John H. li. Latrobe, of Baltimoro, has beoii compelled sinco thc war to buy tho large ship "Golconda," which has already colonized fifteen hundred colored emigrants, and the society has now over two thousand applications for passage. This revival of tho colonization spirit among the blacks has tauon place. Spon? taneously, aud without special effort en tiio part of the society, and it is behoved thal a system of recruiting, such as proposed in Colonel Phelps' bill, would effect even moro nurprising results. The plan of Colonel Phelps has been submitted to the President, aud meets with the latter's approval. From present iudicatious tho meeting of tho Democratic National Executive Committee in .his city, on thc 22d instant, will be quito large? ly attended by active and influential members of the party, from thc West and North, ?.hose main object is to secure the meeting of tLc proposed Democrati. Convention in the city of their choice. A largo number of those "out? siders" arrived hero to-night from Hie West, and some came also from Philadelphia and New York. A vigorous effort will bo made to secure tho meeting of tho convention in Cin? cinnati, but New Yorkers in sufficient strength aro oxpeclod her" to make a strain; struggle to have tho meeting in New York citv. At tho scssiOR of the Reconstruction Com? mittee to-day, thc Democratic members there? of, Messrs. Brooks a:>.d Beek, voted together with Stevens, Boutweil, &c, on thc proposition lo adopt either the Bingham or Sherman bii's for admitting Alabama. The?c billa were voted upon separately, thc Democrats and ex? treme Radicals, Stevens, Boutweil, etc., voting against the plan of the former, opposing tho project in toto, the latter because thev aro not willing to make a specialty of Alabama, but desire all the Southern States to be governed by exactly the same laws. The Alabama bills were rejected. Geneial Grant had an interview with Mr. Stanton to-day ot about an hour, ?nd was af? terwards upon the floor of tho House in con? sultation with members. NATIONAL BANKS. In the House to-day Mr. Butler introduced a bill to amend the several acts establishing the I national banka, which was referred. It pro? vides that every stockholder may vote, accord? ing to tho number of shares he holds, in- the following .oroportion : for one share one vote, and for every two additional shares one vote more; but no stockholder shall have more than twenty votes. Absent stockholders may vote by proxy, but no salaried officer of tho bank shall vote as proxy. No officer shall, as proxy, cast moro than ten votes; and no person, as proxy, cast more than fifty votes. Each bank shall at least onco in every six months prepare a 1 st of its stockholders, with the amount of stock held by each, and shall provide a book in which all proxies filed shall be forthwith en? tered, with the date of execution, acknowledg? ment, and filing of the some; and the names of the stockholders and proxy or attorney named therein, and such list-book and proxies filed, shall nt all times be open to the inspection ot every stockholder. A bank [failing to comply with these provisions shall, for each offenco, forfeit a sum not exceeding five thousand dol? lars. OOLD TN THE TBEA8CP.?. Tho amount of gold in the vaults of the Treasury at tho beginning of business this mornit.g was $104,000,000, o? which sum there is payable iu gold certificates $28,700. leaving a balance of $75,300,000 in gold coin belonging to the United States. It is estimated that the re? ceipts of gold from customs from this date to May 1st will be $28,000,000-making an aggre gato of $103,000,000, out of which there is paya? ble on the 1st of March next $4,500,000, inter? est due on the ten-forty bonds, and on the 1st of May about $27,000,000, interest due on the five-twenty bonds, leaving a balance on hand in gold, after paying all liabilities, of $71,800,000. ABOLITION OF THE BBEVET 8?RTEM. Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Times says : The Senate will make the brevet nomination of General Sherman an occasion for action which shall result in virtually ab ilishing the whole brevet system. It grow up during (ho war, when there was a manifest necessity for it; but it has been so much abused that its abolition now would really contribute to thc efficiency ot the service. All other considera? tions aside, there is no man in the army whose advancement would be more readily endorsed than that of General Sherman. It is proper to add hero that General Grant has expressed no opposition to General Sherman coming hore to assume his new command, having i crfect confidence in tho latter's soldierly integrity, and believing that under no circumstances could he bo induced to involve himself m any political complications. THE GOVERNMENT OF WASHINGTON. Tho project to govern Washington by com? mission, and consolidate tho Corporation of j Georgetown with it will probably fail, because it is meeting with the opposition of the newly enfranchised citizens, who do not desire to be deprived of their new acquired opportunities lor voting aftor auch a brief but successful ex? perience. PROPOSE!) ABOLITION OF THE PRESIDENCY. The following is an extract from a novel momonalpreaented to-day by Senator Sum? ner, from citizens of Roxbury and Boston, Maas., asking for tho abolition of the Presi? dency: The Presidency is a copy of royalty. It is an essentially unropublican" institution; for it exalts an individual in a ruling power over the L rest of thu population, lt is a constantly me? nacing, growing cause of danger to the repub? lic, whose eventual i uin it must inevitably oc? casion. If it does not canse such ruin by di? rect violent bub version, it must effect the same through corruption; for tho Presidency is the source ot universal corruption. In tho opinion ol' tho petitioners the earliest possible abol? ishment of tho Pi ea i tl ency is imperatively nec? essary to secure tho republic Irom the loss of its liberties through tho ascendency of the Ex? ecutive power. To avoid these dangore they autfgeat that Congress propose an amendment to the constitution abolishing thu Presidency md transferring tho executive functions lo an idmiuistrativo commission or Congressional ministry, to bo chosen by Congress from their iwn body. t CHRISTOPHER-RODGERS.-On Thursday even tig, le bru.u y 20th, at thc residence of Captain JOHN I?.
