WASHINGTON, October 13.-Judge Wardlaw, Colonel Dawkins and Mr. Huger, delegates from the South Ca? rolina Convention, had an interview with the President %p-day, in which they said that their State had accept? ed in good faith the result of the issue-such as had been made. That the people felt that the President Jiad .stood between" them and a harsh use of the power of tho Government that they felt entire confidence in his purposes anil action, and * hoped in return . to entitle themselves to his confidence us to ?ir feelings and actions. The President ?epiied that he was glad t^ hour it. Wherever such mu? tual confidence existed, there could be an open road to the restoration of good feeling and a proper condition, and that if the State of South Caro? lina confided in him, he was surd, if I he knew himself, that all he would ask of them would be consistent ?with j their honor and interest. The delegation also presented the I memorials for the pardon of Mr. Jet'- j ferson Davis and others, but received ! no reply on the subject. They were gratified with their in- j terview. ?Kiportnii: ' from Washington-Our j Convention'^ IJk'lc^iit ion's Inter? view with the President. WASHINGTON, October 13.-Judge Wardlaw, Alfred Huger and Col. Daw? kins, of South Carolina, this after- ? noon, had an interview, by appoint? ment, with President Johnson. They j were accompanied by W. H. Trescott, j who is here on business as Executive I Agent of that State. The President, ; after the customary preliminaries of ? reception, invited them to be seated, when at once the conversation com- j menced by Judge Wardlaw informing bim that they were a delegation from tho State Convention of South Caro? lina, sent hither to present certain memorials of that body. These me? morials had been carefully considered in the Convention, and he believed they told exactly the truth. The President inquired the object of the memdlBals. ' Judge Wardlaw informed him that ono of them was in behalf of Jefferson DaviB, A. H. j Stephens, George A Trenholm and Governor Magri?h. He said they had understood that, by the kind in? terference of the President, Messrs., Stephens and Trenholm had already been released from close confinement and permitted to return to their homes. Ho would ask for Governor Magrath either a pardon or that he might be released on his parole. They could assure the 'President that . no harm would result from such an act of clemency. The President re? plied that all could not be pardoned at once. The business must be pro? ceeded with gradually, and an effort made to execute the law. A discrimi? nation was necessary as wo go along. It was a too common expression, by way of argument for clemcuoy, that such a one had been pardoned, and that he was just as bad as another who had not. Judge Wardlaw replied ! that tho delegation presented no such argument aa that. The President said sometimes the peeubgr locality had much to do with pardons. Like; many other things in human affairs ww cannot have a. fixed rule. Muco depends on discretion and circum? stances. If wc knew ourselves, we Wanl to d() what is best and just, and . io show a proper (?degree oi humanity ?on the part of t?e trovernniiiiit. .. MM Mtokem**!** * ' '??~m"*" ' *- " ' " ' " fl "tr Judge WardiAW remarked that they had not come hither to express their own hopes and desires, but as dele? gates 'from the SouthvCarolina Con? vention, to present the memorials of that - body in a formal manner. The President-We, wilt, gentle? men, extend the facilities and civili? ties which the questions require. We would prefer to pardon twenty men than refuse one. Judge Wardlaw replied that they did not design td say anything with reference to Go? vernor Magrath, further than'that they believed much good would re? sult by the exercise of the Executive clemency toward him., Colonel Dawkins said if we could get Governor Magrath pardoned, it "would be ? great relief to him at the present time. : Judge Wardlaw thanked the Presi? dent for having released Messrs. Ste? phens and Trenholm. The President-We have,that far, then,- anticipated your memorial. Mr. Huger said Mr. Trenholm was one of the most useful men, and ther< was no doubt ho would exert all hi power with a view to entire harmony between the State and the Govern ment. ' ' Tho President replied that .he un derstood that was so, adding : H trea son has been committed, there ough to be some test to determine th? power of the Government to-,punis! the crime. He was fr?e to say that i was not a mere contest between poli tical parties or a question as to d fido Government. Looking at th Government as we do, and the law violated in an attempt at the ova throw of the natiou, there should b a vindication of the Government an the Constitution, even if tho pardor ing power were exercised thereafto If treason has been committed, i ought to be determined by the highes tribunal and the fact declared, even : clemency should come afterward; There was no malice or prejudice, i wishing to curry out that duty. Judg Wardlaw remarked that they . wei well aware of that. The President, resuming, saic There may be some unkind feeling o this subject, but it did not exist I any great extent. Judge Wardlaw said: Although n< instructed by the Convention, he wi induced to ask whether Mrs. Jeffersc Davis, who HUS now confined to Geo gia, could not cross into South Car lina to see her friends. The Preside] replied that ho had received lette from Mrs. Davis, but they were n very commendable. The tone of oi of them, however, was considers!} improved, but the others were not the character becoming one ashil leniency. Judge Wardlaw' interposed by sa ing that sile was a woman of .stroi feeling. ' The President replied : * 'Yes ; I sn pose she is a woman of strong feeli and temper, but there is no iutenti to persecute her. There is aftmn magnanimity and nobleness of spi in submitting as in trying to put t Government at defiance." M r. Huger remarked that they h a deop consciousness of the truth all the President said. Tho Preside: resuming, observed that the cbarac of an individual may characteriz? nation which is nothing but an a^g gate of individuals, and when a p pur spirit is manifested, all can harmoniously. The man who goei the stake is almost dignified by bealing. It hits him above humi tion. In these cases, gentlemen, will du the best we can. While fib 1 was sympathy, there was a pul i judgment which must be met. t assure you, gentlemen, no djsposit j exists for persecution or a thirst blood. Judge Wardlaw remarked that tone of the newspapers was more vorable. and different from whu was. He then asked if the Presu had seen a ?opy of the amended (. stitution of South Carolina*, course, ho said, we accept emane tion. He felt perfectly satisfied the person and property of the.n? j will be protected, and he spoke of j great difficulties of regulating li j and of restraining vagrancy, etc. '; The President thought that n of the evils woi?d disappear if inaugurated the right system, laws protecting the colored ma his person and property, and he ?ollect his debts. He knew he was in tho South. The ques when first presented, of putti ; colored man- on tho witness ftt . made them shudder, but the col ? man's testimony was to be takei what it was worth by those, win amined him and the jury who he After ail, there was not so r . danger us^vas supposed. Those i ing out of slavery cannot do wit ? work. They cannot lie down ii 1 sipation. Tney must work. ' ought to understand that lil I ;. J-; - r yjjj : N means simply the right to work and to enjoy the products of labor, and that the laws will protect them. That being done, and whe i we come, to the period to feel that men must work or starve, the country will be prepared to receive a system applicable to both white and black-prepared to receive a system necessary to the case. A short time back, jon could not en? force tha vagrant law on the Vackj, but you could on the white man. But get the public mind right, and you can treat both alike. Let us get the general principles, and the details and calculations will follow. A conversation of somo length en- j sued between the President and Judge Wardlaw and Mr. Trescott as to the legislation of the State necessary in reference to the condition of .the freednaen, and the scope and conse? quences of the Circular JJo. 15, and General Orders No. 145 of the Adju? tant-General's Department, relative to abandoned lands in South Carolina and other Southern States. The ex? amination of these subjects, it is un? derstood, is to be continued at an? other interview. The President said: We must be practical and come up to surrounding circumstances. Judge Wardlaw, Colonel Dawkins and Mr. Huger all expressed to the President their conviction that their State had accepted, in good faith, the results of the issue which has been made; that the people felt that the President had stood between theni and a harsh use of tho power of the Government; that they felt entire confidence in his purposes and ac? tions, and hoped, in return, to entitle themselves to Ins confidence as to tL?;ir feelings and action a The Pre? sident replied that ne Avas glad to hear it; that wherever suah mutual confidence existed, there would, he thought, bo ah open road to the resto? ration of good feeling and'a prosper? ous condition ; and - that if he knew himself, and thought he did, he would recommend nothing but what would advance their, interests. So far from pandering to or looking to future elevatidh, he must be believed When he said he had no eye, single, to snell preferment. If. he continued, I could be instrumental in restoring the Gowernment to its former rela? tions, and see the people once more united and happy, 1 should feel that I had more than filled the, measure ol my ambition. If I could feel that I had contributed to this in any degree my heart would Le more than grati? fied and my ambition fully. Judge; Wardlaw-Every man in South Carolina -would respond to that. Mr. Huger-I am sure there is, on their part, np want of faith. Th?*j deserve your confidence, and I an sure they will earn it. The President expressed ' himsel gratified with what had been said b"j these gentlemen. Mr. Dawkins remarked tba ni "Routh Caroline, reposed confidence ii the President, and that the memorial presented by the chairman, of tin I delegation represented the true senti ments ol' the people of that State I both in regard to those whom the; wish pardoned and the feeljng an< position of South Carolina. -#, ECONOMY rs FuEij.-The rapid ap proaeh of winter, and the. still mor rapid advance in the price of coal am wood, are directing the attention o the Southern people to many admix able inventions for the economic* use of heating agents which hav been brought to perfection during th j last four years.
