Since my last the most interesting topic has-been the President's veto of the Freedman's Bureau bilL While there is some party feeling against his action, the great majority of our people are disposed tq com mend the President's course, believing it to be not 6nly the path of wisdom and of staloamanahlp, but a manly effort for the upholding of a perhaps somewhat endangered constitution. The opinion seems to III general here that the veto cannot be overridden by a two-thirds vote of Congress; that a strong i»n» of de marcation has beeu drawn between the President and the Thad. Stevens’ radicals in Congress, and that the former is right and has the best of the argument, and, coupled with this feeling, there is an undercurrent of hope that his course will be sustained by {Congress.

The H.. tor tht A COLD SNAP. The other day a despatch from San Franuiaco stated that the thermometer, there had not been below 60 degrees this winter, and on the day in question reached 73 degrees. At the time we had soft muggy weather, warm ’tor the season and sloppy, muddy streets. Since then Old Boreas has rial ted New York, the wind has been strong from the north-west, the thermometer has run down nearly to zero, and av eraged not much over 20 degrees above, the thor- 1 ugh fares are hard. Ice is plentiful, skating excellent? nd its devotees numerous. Grumblers are dissatis fied either way but barring them and the poor, the public are generally satisfied with the change. AN OLD SUIT SETTLED. A case which has been pending for fourteen years in the Uuitcd States Circuit Court, and which is of much interest to importers, has just been decided. In the year 1853, Boker A Co. imported a quantity of brandy from Rochelle, which was advanced by the government appraisers more than ten per cent, above the invoice value, and upon which invoice was therefore charged a special duty of twenty per cent The importers sued collector Bronson to recover the amount alleged to be over paid. The case came to trial in 1859 and was decided in fitvor of the plaintiffs. A new trial was subsequently granted upon exceptions, and c&nie on in 1862, when the jury failed to agree and were dis charged. After a lapse of four years, the matter came again before Jndge Shipman and a jury a few days since and was finally settled in favor of the govern ment. The amount claimed wos $3,000, principi 1 and interest. Plaintiffs were, however, allowed some six ty dollars, under instructions by the Court, being du ties and interest exacted and paid by mistake upon in voice commissions and charges, long since held by this Court not to bs subject to duty. But the main, decision was in favor of the government and estab- : lishes its right to appraise imported goods at a regular and legal amount, the burden of proof to the contrary rest upon the claimants. THE WEEKLY SOCIABLES at Delmonico’s are a theme of comment by a portion of the public. The object of these gatherings appears to be the spending of half the nights in dancing and carousing at a public restaurant. The male attend ants have been mostly what are called “very nice young men,” with plenty of money in their pockots and very little morality in their heads; and among such as this the daughters of many of our best citf zeus have been allowed to mingle Perhaps no par ticular barm has as yet been done, but the tendency has been bad, and for the benefit of society st large it has been hoped that all respectable people will frown down these weekly debauches. Delaionico’s is a very good restaurant, and as such are and ought to be ex tensively patronized. But just .there their proper province ceases, and anything beyond should be repu diated by the public. A return to the simple methods of amusement in vogue among our aqcestors would vastly improve the toue of public morality. REMARKABLE GUT OF TONGUES. On the trial of one John Silva, a Cuban, for robbery, the other day, a remarkable woman proffered her ser vices as interpreter, the prisoner declaring liiui9elf- unable to speak English. The woman was thinly Had, about forty years of age, and had an unmistakable Irish brogue. On .beiug questioned she said her name was Anna Lainauga, that she was born on the rock of Gibraltar, and was a widow, and supported herself and children by taking in washing. She spoke English with great correctness, and said she could speak fluent ly and translate correctly French, Spanish, Italian and Arabic. She had formerly been a governess, but being w ithout lricuds in this city was reduced to the greatest distress. Her child,that she had not time to teach the alphabet, could speak three languages, which she had taught him while busv at the washtub. She showed unusual aptness at Che Spanish language, and trans lated the prisoner’s answers and explanations with great quickness and clearness. There is no doubt of the truth of her story and it is indeed a wonderful one. A washerwoman who can speak correctly five languages is something new under the sun. Her ser vices will be quite valuable to the law courts, into -which her introduction is a curiosity to itself. The prisoner was convicted, hut “that’s of no conse quence.” RENTS (foICING DOWN. The exorbitant demands of the landlords seem likely to meet an obstacle they, little counted on.— They did not reckon the fact that the great mass of the people cannot afford to pay the prices they demand, and that rather than make even an effort to do it, would retire to the suburbs for residence. Thousands of houses are advertised at extravagant prices, but they are not taken, for the public are like Micawber “waiting for something to turn up.” The houses and stores in a great majority of cases goa-begging for occupants after the 1st of May, tor the present, and will continue so to do until the land-lords see fit to abate somewhat of their pretentions. In a ntimber of cases already, after trying in vain to screw up their tenants twenty per cent, these exorbitant* have been forced to re-let their premises at the old price, and in many others stores and dwellings are offered at a re duction of the ten or flftween per cent, from the figure first demanded, and that too* without takers. The good work goes on, and if the public will only hold off' a “little longer” they can obtain rents at reasonable figures- A MOCK AUCTION SHOP CLOSED. Countrymen have often been taken in and done for by the meek auction shops of this metropolis. Hun dreds have bid for a piece of goods, and on paying for it discovered they bad purchased a hundred times as much as they supposed, and glad to escape from the THE POLITICAL IMBROGLIO. The President’s Veto and Speech dorsed by Press nnd People? THE RADICAL8 IN A DItEMMA. TUB CONTEST BETWEEN THE PRES IDENT AND CONGRESS. Letter from the JVationmt Capital. [Special Correspondence of the Savannah Herald.] Washington, Feb. 21, 1866. The great event that is agitating all minds here is the President’s veto of thfc Freedmen’a Bureau bilL It has fallen in the radical Aamp like a bombshell. It has produced among the .Syevensites the greatest sur prise and indignation. .1 am reminded of the arrest of Danton by Robesp era. His first exclamation was, “they dor**.” The first emotion of the opponents to the Administration policy seems similar to Danton’s. They appear astonished at the President’s audacity. This fipeat olfeanizat&n has had every thing their own way so long, that they can hardly realize that their sway is disputed. Next to their surprise is their indignation. They consider the President as a traitor, and they see .themselves about to be foiled, when they almost touch Thoir curses are loud and deep, and &e word impeachment is very freely used. Mingled with their surprise and indignation is a con viction that it is all owing to their own stupidity in selecting Mr. Johnson lor the Vice Presidency, when \hey could so easily have “made assurance doubly sure and taken a bond of fate” in this particular. Radicals of the strictest sect were as plenty as black berries, out of which the choice for the Vice Presi dency might have been made, but they had to pass by all these, and go to Tennessee to get a candidate. Upon this point there hangs a tale. Hamlin was indifferent about the renomination far the Vice Presidency. Sum ner, who was very friendly to Hamlin and very unfriend ly to Fessenden, wanted Hamlin to supplant Fessenden in the Senate, Hamlin preferiug a seat in the Senate to the Vice-Presidency. From the operation of these combined causes, when the Convention for nominating the President and Vice-Presidents met, Massachusetts was divided and did not give Hamlin a unanimous vote. Hamlin being thus weakened by the course of the leading New England State, it was obvious he would be p tsMcd over. Dickenson of New York, then loomed up as the coming man. This did not suit Mr. Seward and his supporters. To kill Dickenson off Mr. Johnson was taken up,and through the powerful influ ence of Mr. Seward got the nomination. Human life is snch a permanent institution that no one seemed to contemplate the possibility of Mr. Lincoln’s death.— Thus Mr. Johnson became President and oversets the cherished schemes of the then controlling element of his party. It is difficult to over-estimate the impor tance of this veto, passing by the fret that it gives a quietus to the plan of holding the South under a mili tary desptftiftm through the instrumentality of the Freedmen’s Bureau, it inaugurates a tremendous con test between the congress and the Executive. The ! breach between these two powers is now “past sur I vey.” The Radicals bandedfltogether, and the Preai- I dent at the head of all the conservatism of the coun- i try are now in deadly hostility. The appeal is to the ! country, and it will be for the people to decide the I great controversy. The issue comes up under the most favorable auspices. The President with the immence power oJ his branch of the Govern ment leads the conservative boats, and will be certain to split off' a fragment of the Republican party. It would seem then that the victory must finally rest with the President. He has the common sense and statesmanship of the argument, and he has in his own genius a splendid resource, far exceeding anything that the ranks of his opponents possess. Add to this his immonse patronage, and yon see that there j is much hope in the future. lu this great contest the South can strengthen the President’s position vastly, by acting her part wisely by showing that she is in ac cord with the new order of things, especially by treat ing the freedmeu with kindness. If tho South will act her role with wisdom, the radicals will be routed, horse, foot and dragoons. And here I think we may congratulate the South, that your State has placed in her highest position two meu of the remarkable sa gacity and comprehensive statesmanship of Herschel V. Johnson and Alexander H. Stephens. I think it would be well for both those gentlemen to pay a pro longed visit to the city, and give form and unity to the policy of the South in this great crisis of her fate. It is thought the cabinet must go to pieces. 1 learn that Mr. Seward sustains the President. It is thought that Stanton, Speed and Korlan will soon have an op- ^ ^ ^ portunity of retiring to private life. The impression Senators and the* majority in jhp House which voted i couserx ati\ es Is that they can be very well for the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, a large meeting of , conservative Unionists and Democrats at St. Louis I “ looks very much as if the hand of Providence * were on these things. The future before us is not all night, light begins to breakeu upon us. Looker On. WiSHCTGTOS.Veb. 23, 1866.* rm rugrDKKT’ft imc^-iiniui of the radicals A desperate effort ni made here last night by the radicals to create an. impression that the President had made an outrageous speech, Despatches were scut all over the country to thla effect, tor the purpose of prejudicing the minds of the party leaders in advance againat it. Three or tour despatches were sent to Mr. Seward, stating that the speech of Mr. Johnson waa a frightful one, and a speech that he could not endorse, also begging him not to speak at the Cooper Institute meeting if he could avoid it, but if ho did •Peak, to be careful how be committed himself to the President. Similar despatches were also sent to Mr. Bajrmond and other speakers. The game of the rad- icali via a bold one, and shows the desperation to which they are driven when they»are compelled to re- aort to that dodge to bolster themselves up. These despatches may have had their effect in some' 'the goal of tlieti wishes, quarters last night; but the numerous despatches deep, and me word imp of approval received from leading republicans from all directions this morning prove that the false stories sent from here have accomplished nothing against tho speech. If Mr. Howard was inclined to bMtate and doubt last night he was of another opinion this morn ing. for he is among those who telegraphed to the President his endorsement of the (peach of yesterday. RADICAL CAUCUS—FAILURE OF SCHEHCE’S ATTEMPT TO DECLARE WAR OH THE PRESIDENT. * t. The published call in this morning’s Chronicle for a caucus of the republican members of the Senate and House of Representatives at half-past seven o'clock this evening astonished a majority of those embraced. The conservatives held a quiet meeting during the day, and resolved to attend and resist to the utmost ail attempts to precipitate Congress into an open quar rel with the President The attendance was large and remained in session shout three hours. It seems the caucus was called mainly at the Instigation of Schenck, who submitted resolutions and a plan of action by which Congress was to assume the aggressive attack the Presidential policy whenever and wherever re al, and withhold all material end ffnancial sup- to the administration. ''The resolutions fell like s cold blanket on a majority of those present. Mr. Delano of Ohio, moved as a substitute a resolution that the Tennessee delegation be immediately admit ted to seam in Congress. Waehburne was outraged and declared tor war: Thud Stevens grinned sardoni cally, but maintained comparative silence. Senator Wilson expressed his opinion that no good reason ex isted why the Tennessee delegation should not be ad mitted, and deprecated all attempts to widen the appa rent breach between tbs Executive and Congress.— Ashley rose with a pocket full of resolutions, but Unal- ly decided to retain them for some future occasion.— Banks saw no reason for extra billigerency, mud quiet ly intimated that certain gentlemell' had giveu the President unnecessary provocation, whereupon all eyes were upon Thad., who sat serenely unconscious of tlie flattering allusion. Schenck vsinly endeavored to press his programme. Waahbume reiterated his purpose and polio,' to carry the war into the Executive Africa, but numbers were unmistakably against them, and tlie Hon. Chairman of the Military Commit tee Anally withdrew his resolutions in, extreme dis gust The slbir proved a disastrous failure, and may be written down a .radical Waterloo. It tailed utterly in accomplishing the designs of its callers and Instiga tors, and after appointing a committee of one ftuin each State and Territory for the distribution of docu ments and the conduct of the next campaign the cau cus adjourned noiselessly at halt-past ten o’clock p. m. The vwnom of the radicals against the President js now showing itself in various ways. Unable to over ride his veto, they have now commenced to rejoct his appointments. The Senate In executive session today rejected the Postmaster recently appointed by Presi dent Johnson at Cincinnati, Ohio. EHDOBSEXEHT OF THE PRESIDENT BY THE PEOPLE. Endorsements of the action of the President In veto ing the Freedmen’s Bureau bill come in from All parts of the country. Salutes were fired at St Louis, Mo., and Carbondale, Pa., on the 22d, in honor of the action; while at Louisville a large and enthusiastic meeting, at which the Oovemor of the State presided, endorsed the veto message in strong terms.

The resolutions, as adopted, also endorsed the policy of President Johnson as declared in his late veto message. In the Indiana Republican Convention, reassembled on Tuesday at Indianapolis, resolutions were adopted expressing full faith in the President, Cabinet aud the Union ” members of Congress; and declaring the Tlie Pireilman’s Bureau. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says: “Gen. Howard visited President Johnson yesterday, and had a long interview in reference to his Freed men’s Bureau. He felt thot it was due to the Presi dent, the interests of the freedmen, aud himself, that he should be made acquaint-d with the President's wishes and purposes, since the President bad express ed himself sn entirely opposed to tlie whole scope and spirit of that institution. Mr. Johnson informed the General that be had in contemplation the issuing of a proclamation declaring the rebellion at an end; aud purpose of the convention and Republican party of from bis interpretation of the law the Freedmen’s Bu clutches of tlie scoundrels who conduct such estab lishments, compromised the matter by a bonus to the auctioneer knd his crowd of shoulder-bitten.

THE PRESS ON THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. The Herald says: “Andrew Johnson baa taken up the gauntlet which the Jacobina in Congress have flung down. The ’man at the other end of the avenue’ has shown his appre ciation of Thad. Stevens and his radical clique by the bold and uncompromising manner in which he de nounced them by name, in his speech in Washington on the 22d, a% traitors and revolutionist*. He took plain iaane with them in honest and homely words. He stands for the Constitution and the Union. His enemies, he declares, are working out another rebel lion. The country, we opine, will sustain the Presi dent in this view. On the whole. President Johuson’e spreech is bold, manly and outspoken. More bold than anything which Mr. Lincoln ever pronouDced.it is not less redolent of wit. It is not as classical as Sumner, as ornate as Phillips, nor as evenly balanced resn would continue its functions for a year from the date of said proclamation in spite of him. He inti mated no desire for Gen. Howard’s withdrawal from the chief direction of its affairs, although making no effort to conceal the same hostility to protecting the freedmen he has frequently exhibited of late.” GENERAL HOWARD’S INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSISTANT COM- > _ MISSIONZRS OF THE FREEDMEN’S BUREAU. General O. O. Howard has prepaaed the ftaBowing circular letter to be transmitted to eogh of tit* Assist ant Commissioners of the Freedmen’s Bureau: • “War Departmet, Bureau or Freedmen, i Refugees and Abandoned Lands, [ Washington, Feb. 23, 1856. ) “To the Assistant Commissioner: “Dear Sir: Anticipating the excitemeut that will necessarily follow the action of the government with reference to the new Freedmen’s bill, yon may feel somewhat embarrassed in the duties devolving upon vou under the law and regulations already existing. as Seward, but it poSsesses the sterling qualities of Tiatyoumay a steadily and firmly in any emergency frankness, courage and truth. It is, in fact, a speech yon must be prepared for any increased hostility on suited to the man and to the tiiqes.” The News thus commences a leader on the speeah “The name of Andrew Johnson it upon the lips of the people in accents of delight snd admiration. Nev er, pemaps, in the history of our country haw the words of anyone man sent such a thrill of hope and satisfaction through the-popular heart, aa did those brave words of defiance that the President, on Thurs day fiung in the teeth of the radical conspirators.

A woman named 6n«eftna Schott bad bees living for some years with John Botz end borne children to him Her husband, Schott, is married also to another woman and resides in a different part of the city. Bote, on returning to his shanty in 47th street the other evening, found her three children, two of them his and the other her hus band's, quite dead. He gave the alarm and the police found them lying upon the bed, dressed in their best, with hair neatly combed, and laid out as though for burial. The mother was in a state of stupor, from which, after vigorous efforts, she was aroused and will probably recover. There were no traces of poison found upon the children or their mother, and no marks of violence could be discovered, end ths pbyri- ecians who were called In think the former were suffo cated, and that the condition of the latter was from excitement caused by keii terrible act. The woman had been low-spirited, and it la supposed labored un der some temporary aberration of mind. The caused Intense excitement in the neighborhood, ft is to be investigated thoroughly. A HEW DXRUTAHT. ’ Miss Lacosie appeared at the Academy of Music last Saturday night. Her success, as well as that gf the play of wmcb she was the heroine “ Virginia of Rome," a new verafon or the old Roman story by Isaac 0. Fray, were not remarkable. Perfect in tbs text and apparently well schooled, she went through the part with the serenity of a summer’s cloud, and the precision of a chronometer. But these genius and sensibility of a true actress were wanting, and it is hardly within the bounds of possibility that the debu tante can ever be anything more than a most excellent “ walking gentlewoman.

From all indications tba radicals are greatly discan certed by tbs President's firmness, their failure to coo trol the conservative element of their own party andd can be the manifestations of disapproval of their conns by ’J52Si the people. A -correspondent of the Herald, Writing from Washington, says: “The radical conntenanoeand tone of the Senate has been even more than usually lugubrious.” There seemed to be a general anticipa tion that an onslaught was to be made upon the Presi dent on that day, the galleries being crowded to ex cess, bat it appear* that the ■’obstructionists," con sidering discretion the better part of valor, managed to contain their souls in patience. The times says: “The opponents of the President in Congress maio- jfoiued their temper yesterday, not even a resolution ‘squinting at the executive' being offered. It seems that a crowd of people ‘flocked to ths Capitol In ex pectation of witu easing ah outburst of congressional rage,' but we are rejoiced to report that the whole crowd was totally disappointed. Wa think it is a sign of a very hopeful change. ’ ’ The Massachusetts Legislature and Presi dent Johnson’s Veto Message. In the Massachusetts House of Representatives ou Wednesday afternoon, a aeries of resolutions were in troduced, regretting the act of President Johnson in vetoing the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, and asserting that it is the duty of ths President to give the negroes that protection tor which its honor stands pledged, and to which the gallant conduct pf the colored soldiers en title them. The resolutions were referred to the com mittee on federal relations. The House refused to receive s resolution thanking the President for his veto moaaage by a vote of 90 to 18. entirely from patty from tba dreaded scourge. :is folly a visit The following rumor which we find in the Tribune also appears in other New York papers: ** We generally distrust rumors of changes in the Cabinet, and give little heed to them.

Howard, Major General, Commissioner. —Some time sinc&a man in Boston paid three hun dred dollars for a special train to take him to Portland, Maine, in order to take passage in the steamship Nova Scotian for Liverpool, which expense he would have saved by taking the regular afternoon train from Bos ton. It is now supposed that this man was Howard, the third one of the Concord Bonk robbers, who had one hundred thousand dollars’ worth of the stolen bonds in his possession. This accounts for his great anxiety to leave the country, and for his fear that he should be too late for the steamer. $25 REWARD GOH E rascally fellow, not having the fear of the . law or any regard to my personal comfort, enter ed ray hall on Monday evening, between seven and eight o’clock, and abr.racted from the hat rack two overcoats.
