WASHINGTON, February 5.-The President aud Stanton have had neither written nor personal coversa tion since 'August 12. The Presi? dent's letter to Grant, of January 31, contains this paragraph :" "You had found in our first conference that the President was desirous of keeping Mr. Stanton out of office, whether sustained in his suspension or not. You knew what reasons had induced . the President to ask from you a pro? mise. You also knew that in case your views of duty did not accord with his own convictions, it was his purpose to till your pince by another appointment. Even ignoring the existence of a positive understanding between us, these conclusions were plainly deducible from our various conversations. It is certain, how? ever, that, even under these circum? stances, you did not offer to return tho place to my possession, but, ac? cording, to your statements, plaocd yourself in a position, when, could I have anticipated your action, I would have been compelled to ask of you, as I was compelled to ask of your predecessor in the War Department, a letter of resignation, or else tu resort to the more disagreeable expe? dient of Busponding you by a suc? cessor.."

At private sale, by JACOB LEVIN, Auctioneer and Couiiiu*'ii Merehaut, Corner Plain and Assembly streets, Feb G 2 Near New Market LANDLORDS AND TKNANTS, AS AF FRCTKD BV G KN SRA Li CANBT'S ORDER. Tbo Legiijaturo of South Caroling i in .1866, passed an Act, wherever j tenancies were at will, empowering any magistrate to eject the tenant j upon ten days' notice, unless it could be shown thattne tenancy was either for years or under a written-lease. In these latter caaes the old remedy waa retained, which was upon the determination of the lease, or where there was an expresa for fei turo for the non-payment of rent, by *the verdict of magistrates and free? holders, npon a regular trial. General Canby, however, by a re? cent order, has extended the sum? mary process of ejectment provided for iii the Act of 1866, to all cases of tenancy, whether verbal or written, at will, or for a term of years, where the tenant fails punctually to pay the rent. ' The question yesterday was raised before Judge Moses, whether Gene? ral Canby'8 order applied to cases arising before the order. Jndge Moses, while holding that General Canby's order is not re trocative, has, however, directed tho ton days' notice to be given as of this day, and reserved his decision until cause is then shown responsive to this notice. The cause is ns follows: Somo months since, Magistrate Kanapaux was solicited by Mrs. Frances Wilson to eject from her premises Mr. Samuel Harris, under the Act of 1866 for rent in arrear. Ten days' notice, nuder the Act, was given by Mr. Kanapaux, bul Mr. Harris.donied his jurisdiction in such cases, his tenancy^ being for a terra and not at will, as contemplated by the Act. Mr. Kanapaux, deeming the causes shown insufficient, order? ed tho sheriff to proceed. The sheriff was notified that if ho acted, he would have to do so at his peril. Action in tho mutter was thereby delayed, and in tho meanwhile, an order was issued by General Canby, making tho Act of 1866 applicable to all tenancies. On this, tho sheriff was again about to proceed, when a suggestion in prohibition, was flied in the Court of Common Pleas, re? citing the facts in tho case, ami praying that a writ of prohibition should bo directed to the sheriff, commanding him to delay all pro? ceedings, upon the ground that thc order making the statute generally applicable was not retroactive, and 1 that ten days' notice should be given before proceedings of ejectment can be bad. After argument by Mr. Asher D. Coben for tho relator, and Messrs. Magrath & Lowndes contra, Judge Moses decided that tho order was not retroactive, and tliEt tho ten days' notice should bo given as claimed, so that relator might show causo why ho should not bo ejected. [Charleston Courier. A Paris letter says tho belief in an early war continued as strong as ever iu Franco. The people will have it that Franco and Prussia ore arming, and that, in spite of friendly tele? grams between tho Tailleries and Berlin, tho maintenance of peaco between the two countries is at the mercy of the merest trifle that may arise.

Jan 14_ To the Dental Profession. ^^^^ I HAVE PATENTED, and ??ffijS^?b now desire to introduce, an UY$SBS9k\ important improvement in ^-LITjLir tho construction of ARTIFI CIAL DENTUBES, whereby the strength, reliability and facility of repair, pertain? ing to swaged plate work, is communicated to moulded metalic or vulcanizablo base. Streng Plate Teeth as firmly attached to tho base as if soldered to swaged plate, are, by this process, substituted for those specially designed for moulded base. By their use the operator is left freo to ex? ercise his own judgmont in their arrange? ment, and finds himself no longer confined to the samonofes of the present style of blocks, or single teoth woakenod by carv? ing for moulded work. No now appliances are required in this process. It is easily acquired by any one familiar with either moulded or Bwagcd work. It gives to tho operator confidence in the reliability of his cases, exempting him from the disappointment and per? plexity often attendant on his most faith? ful efforts. It renders partial cases as rcli ablo as full sots, and, consequently, wUI tend to ameliorate the present deplorablo practice of extracting every tooth, sound or unsound, which stands in the way of tho Tho method has hoon thoroughly tested, and is now submitted to the profession with tho assurance that it will bo found to fulfill all that is claimed for it. Its results aro higi?iy artistio, very and af? ford the utmost satisfaction to operator and patient.
