Interview with the President — his Opinions — the lobby — the Senate conservative.--Mexico. Washington, December 11. --Leading Congressmen from New England had an interview with the President Saturday. A Senator expressed the belief that Congress and the Executive could harmonize on a plan of reconstruction. He expressed fears that, under the lead of Thaddeus Stevens, the House would take a position which it could not hold. Prospects of the Tennessee delegation for early admission grow better every day. Heavy lobby at work to procure a renewal of the reciprocity treaty. General Grant just arrived. A Senate caucus was held this morning on Stevens's joint resolution without any result. Another will be held this afternoon. The resolution cannot pass the Senate without amendment. Official advices received to-day from Mexico favorable to the Liberal cause. Imperial troops constantly falling back towards the c

Washington news. The attendance of visitors at the White House Tuesday was mostly confined to a few prominent officials, including Generals Grant, Kilpatrick, Howard, Logan, and Senators Guthrie and Wilson, Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, Judge Swayne, of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Trenholm late Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederate States. The President gave audiences to them all. None of the new committees got into working order to-day, although there is a large amount of business already referred to them. The House Judiciary Committee have six new propositions before them to amend the Constitution of the United States. Several prominent New Jersey Republican politicians are here, urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to make an early decision in the case of Senator Stockton, of that State. The Senate has two precedents, one for and the other against the issue involved in this case. Senator Collamer's death will be announced in both Houses on Thursday, and th

Southern Representatives--General Grant--negro suffrage — Mexico. Washington, December 13. --Inasmuch as the Tennessee delegation have been admitted to seats on the floor of the House of Representatives, the Representatives from Virginia and Louisiana are now urging that they, too, should be granted the same privilege. There are certainly four, perhaps five, of the Virginia delegation who can subscribe to the test oath. Congress is, however, by no means pleased with the temper and spirit now being displayed by the State Legislature of Virginia. General Grant expresses himself pleased with his Southern tour, but regretted to find the people in some quarters sullen and inclined to be morose. The bill granting suffrage to the colored people of this District is now being prepared in the Senate committee. Rumor says that further advices have been received from Mexico favorable to the Liberals. Jaurez is securely established at Chihuahua. A general uprising of t

From Washington. Washington, December 13. --The select committee of one member from each State to consider what token of respect and affection Congress may adopt to express the deep sensibility of the nation at the decease of Abraham Lincoln, decided to-day to set apart the 12th day of February (Mr. Lincoln's birth-day) for Mr. Stanton to pronounce an eulogy upon his life and character in the presence of both Houses. Congress came to no determination as to the amount to appropriate to the family of the deceased. It is probable that one hundred thousand dollars will be appropriated. The House Committee on Elections to day took up the case of Cofroth and Koontz, but came to no determination. General Butler has arrived here, and is preparing his reply to General Grant. It is said to be very severe.

sitors--General Butler. Quite a number of gentlemen called and had a conference to-day with the President. Senators Conness, Sprague and others spent a short time in consultation with him. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was also present at an interview, which was quite protracted. General Butler was awaiting to communicate with the President. It is stated that the General, being now out of the army, and not liable to the charge of insubordination, intends to launch a violent philippic at General Grant for his strictures upon his military career. When the doors closed, at three P. M., there were about one hundred and fifty persons, including a good many ladies, who had not obtained admission. The Senate full — almost. The arrival of Senator Cragin, of New Hampshire, makes the attendance now complete of the Senators from all of the States at present represented. There is a vacancy from Iowa, caused by the appointment of Mr. Harlan to the Cabinet. Senator McDougal, of Californ

private life as soon as an election can be held. I will cheerfully give up the Presidency, which has proved to me such a weighty burden." New York letters from Matamoras to the 26th November state that, in every attack made by the Liberals under Cortinas, they have been badly whipped, and fragments of the Liberal army finally took refuge in Brownsville. The French army at Vera Cruz has been reinforced by six thousand Belgian and Prussian recruits. Vera Cruz letters of the second say the Liberals are publicly making enlistments in the streets of Brownsville. Inducements are offered to white and black Americans to sack Matamoras as soon as captured. A conspiracy to assassinate Mejia had been discovered. Four American officers were implicated. Two were captured with proof upon their persons. The other two escaped to the American side. The captured ones were hung. The Tribune says General Grant will soon make a trip to the military posts on the Rio Grande.

House is decidedly against the repeal of this same test oath, and it would seem that it will require a long time before certain of the Southern communities can so mould their action to the inevitabilities as to render it safe to do so."

A Swindle. It is stated that General Baker, chief of the War Department detectives, has just discovered that a monstrous fraud has been perpetrated by two claim agents in this city upon soldiers who have been honorably mustered out of the United States volunteer service. It appears that, some time since, a circular was prepared and promulgated extensively among our defenders, in which the agents certified that for a compensation of twenty-five dollars they would procure for each soldier a warrant entitling the holder to sixty acres of the public domain, along the route of the Pacific railroad.

o give a preponderance against the extreme ideas of Stevens, Sumner & Company. Messrs. Stevens and Boutwell are very ultra--Mr. Bingham not altogether so. Mr. Conkling, probably, less radical still. Mr. Morrill, being a rational practical man, much may be expected of him. Mr. Washburne is openly for the admission of the Tennessee members, and he, as the head of a Northwestern party that dislikes the New England ascendancy in committees and in policy, and also as the close friend of General Grant, who is humane and liberal in his views, will, probably, go to a considerable extent for the Southern representatives. It will be remembered that his brother, General Washburne, is generous and liberal in his views. Mr. Blow is said to be conservative, and Messrs. Rogers and Grider certainly are. This view is rather couleur de rose, but let us hope for the best. To-morrow we will probably hear the announcement of the Senate committee, and then we can the better see how things are

here and in Texas for an advance into Mexico. [Very wise men! very likely story!--already discredited by telegraph yesterday.--Dispatch.] A Vera Cruz letter says troops from France continue to arrive, six hundred more disembarking on the 2d instant, who were immediately sent into the field. There is great anxiety to ascertain what will be the ultimate action of the United States in regard to Mexico. The Imperialists were greatly excited by the last news, informing them that General Grant had publicly expressed sympathy with the Republican cause, that General Logan was appointed Minister to the Government of Jaurez, that Sheridan's army was on the Rio Grande, and was being reinforced. The French officers and soldiers in the Imperial army openly express strong hatred for the United States, and desire to fight Americans.
