Washington, January 14.?The fol? lowing ia the letter of General Cashing, requesting tbo withdrawal of his nomi? nation: - To the President?Sir: Aniuiuluu by the sense of profound gratitude for tbe honor you have done me in nominating me to the high office of Chief Justice of tbe Supreme Court of tbe United States, and perceiving that the continu? ance of my name before the Senate may be the cause or occasion of inconveni? ence to yourself or yonr political f riendd there, I respectfully request you to with? draw the nomination. Permit ma to add, that the oharges of disloyalty to the Union and Constitution, which have been brought against mo in this con? nection, aro utterly destitute of founds*, tion in truth or in fact. I indignantly repel tho imputation. In tho time ante? rior to the commencement of hostilities in the Northern States, every aot of my political life, in whatever relation of parties, was governed by the single dominant purpose of aiming to pre? serve the threatened integrity of the the calamity of its disruption and oi consequent fratricidal carnage. How could ~ suaU u purpoae be promoted otherwise tliau by political associations Sr. personal intercourse with citizens of ifforent States, including those of States professedly disaffected to tbe TJuioo? Skou'd tho only possible means of laboring to pveveut civil war be stig? matized as disloyalty to tbo Constitu? tum? But immediately on the ooour renoe of tho first aot of hostility to the Union being struck in tho State of South Carolina, I took my stand with tbe Union aud its Government. I publicly annouooed my adhesion to them in tbo most unequivocal terms; I tendered my servioDS to tbo Government in the field or in any other way which might testify my fidelity to it, und I have continued from that day to this, as well iu official as unofficial aotion, to tread in the path of unswerving devotion to tho Union, whether. daring tbe actual progress of hostilities against it, or is tbe enbse queut events of its reconstruction and of the successive amendments of the Constitution, rendered necessary by tbe ohanged conditions and relations of tho several States of tho United States and of their respective inhabitants. Tbe recent amendments of tbe Constitution, oaeh one and all of them as tbey were in turn adopted, and tho legislative aots for their enforaement and for accom? plishing reconstruction, bad my co-ope? ration uud adbesiou, and I have sup? ported them constantly, if not in politi? cal debates, for which my comparatively reserved habits of life afforded neither occasion nor opportunity, yet iu legal opinion, or iu tho courts and in counsel or discussion with officers of tbe Go vernmeut, members of Congress and private persons, I entertaining tbe same general respect tor these amendments us for other provisions of tbe Constitu? tion, and also rendering the special ob? servance duo to them as the just and necessary incidents of the reconstruc? tion of the Union. While my nomina? tion was undergoing consideration in tbe Senate, it would have been nnseem ing for mo to speak in explanation of my ucts or my opinions; but now, with relative iudifferenoe to whatever else may bavo been said, either honestly or maliciously, to my prejudice, it belongs to my sense of publio duty, and it is my right to re-affirm and declare, that I have never, in the long course of a not inaotivo life, done an aot, uttered a word, or conceived a thought of dis? loyalty to tbe Constitution or the Uuion. I have tbo honor to be, very respectfully, O. CUSHING. In tbe Senate, numerous petitions for woman suffrage wore presented. A bill to?establisb post routes throughout the country was taken up. The conventions of Mexican Veterans, Cheap Transportation, Patentees and Women's Bights, are all iu session to? day. Tbe delegales to tho National Con? vention of Mexican War Veterans repre? sent all sections of the country. Tbey at noch marched from their headquar? ters to Willard's Hotel, with eight bau? ners and a band of music, under escort of tbe President's mounted guard?a local organization. The convention was called to order by General J. W. Denver, who said its objects were the preparation of a memorial to Congress, asking pensions for all survivors of tho Mexioan war, in tho passage of a law similar to that of 1871, giving pensions to the survivors of the war of 1812; also, to adopt measures for the organization of a National Brotherhood of Mexicun Veterans, and for a representation at the centennial exposition at Philadel? phia, in 1876. The convention, how? ever, ueed not bo coniiued to these ob? jects alone. Those who framed tbe call were animated by a desire to meet their comrades from all sections of thu count try, and thereby renew old associations. There were somo who behaved well, but wore now indigent aud unable to take care of themselves; therefore, one of tbo objects of the convention should bo to prevail upon Congress to pass a law to admit them to tbo SolJiers' Homo, lo? cated near Washington, which was pur? chased and established with money ob? tained from Mexico by tbo valor of our arms?the institution now being open ouly to soldiers of tho regular army. In speaking of tho Mexican cumpnigu, Genoral Denver said our troops attacked the Mexicans in their own country, und captured their strongholds, opposing to them not more than one-third or one fourth as many Americans as there were Mexicans iu tbe field; that tbo war con? tinued two years without a single re verso to our arms, and hence it was right that tho surviving veterans should meet and remind tbe people of tbe country that Ujo victories were secured not for one section of our country moro than for another; but what tbey did was for our common advantage and renown. General Denver was frequently inter? rupted by applause. A temporary orga? nization was effected by tbe selection of General Denver as Chairman and A. M. Kenneday as Secretary, and committees were appointed on credentials aud per? manent organization. The convention, in the course of tbo afternoon, selected General Deuver as |ts President. Tbe members meet to? morrow morning, nt Willard's Hall, and will thence proceed in a body to tbe Metropolitan Methodist Oharoh, wbcro General Negley will deliver an oration, pin tbo Senate, a petition was present? ed from various parts of tbo country for a commission to investigate alcoholic translations. A bill fixing tbe salary of letter-carriers at $1,000 was indefinitely postponed. A bill allowing grain sacks Eianufuctared in this country to be re? amed duty free, passed. Tbo Com? mittee on Military Affairs reported fa? vorably on a bill for tbe reliof of tbe East Tennessen University. Finance occupied tbe balance of tbe day. After brief executive session, adjourned. In tho House, tho Election Com? mittee reported resolutions doolaring seats from the First anq Second Oon-1 greseional District! of West Virginiu, and a minority roport wag presented by Haseltoo, of Wisconsin. The reporta were all ordered to be printed, and to be called up at an early day. Ttie Com mittee oa Revision of Lava reported a bill providing for appeals from Oirooit Courts to tbo Supreme Court iu oases of habeas corpus* After remarks by Bo land and Wood?tbo luttor stating that tbe necessity for this bill was caused by tho repeal of a like law somo years ago, iu order to antioipato a decision of tbe Supreme Court in the Mulligan case? the bill was pnsc^d. Tho navul appro? priation bill was passed. Adjourned. McClure hns boen confirmed as Col? lector of tho Second Mississippi District.

Probabilities?For Southern States Etst of the Mississippi River, partly cloudy and cold weather, with North? erly to Easterly winds aud light rain or snow in the lower Mississippi Valley. Iu the House, a resolution iookiug to cheap freights on rivers und railroad transportation, and to put down tug boat combination ut tho mouth of the Mississippi, was introduced, and re? ferred to tbe Committee on Railroads and Canal*. Tbe National Cheap Transportation Convention, at their meeting, this morn? ing, were addressed by Col. Frobel, of Georgia, nu tho representative of Gov. Smith, of that State, who had been in? vited by the convention to speak ou the subject of oheap transportation, but whose official duties detained him at homo. Col. Frobel showed the ne? cessity of somo cheaper mode of trans? portation than ut present for the heavy products of tbo country, and that water afforded the best means for tbo accom? plishment of this desired eud. He ad? vocated a national system, tho benefits of which should reach all sections und all interests; aud considered as folly the cry that tbe country could not afford mich works, comparing this cry to tho folly of tbo farmer, who would suffer thousands of bushels of grain to rot iu his field, because he could not* afford to pay $50 to buy a wagon to haul it to a profitable market. Tho small politicians bad opposed a general system of water improvements, ou the ground that they would cost $100.000, 1000, and had uttered tho cry from ouu I end of tho land to the other, and this answered the wail of need, this drowued the voice of tbe people, this hushed tbe complaint of decaying interests, and from behind this pretence of u virtuous economy, they tolled the death-knell of prosperity iu this ory, "A hundred mil? lions!" Col. Frobel spoke at length as to tbo necessity of building up our manufactories aud homo trade between the States, and reviewed tbe present condition of the cotton interests, show? ing it was rapidly decaying; and, in conclusion, reviewed the present finan? cial condition of tho couutry and its causes. Tho Colonel was frequently applauded during Ins remarks. Tbo report of the Committee on Canals was made tho upecial order for to-morrow. The convention adjourned till i o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Lulu Terrcnce, of the California Theatre Company, and wife of John Terrence, shot herself through the heart, last night. Domestic trouble was the cause.
