Adjourned. From "Washington. Washington, January 14. Certified copies of the Senate’s action regard ing Stanton’s suspension were furnished the President, Grant and Stanton last night. Grant and Stanton had a conference late last night, and met again this morning at the War Office. Grant left the office afterwards and Stanton remained. Stanton received calls from various officers of (lie Department, but np to noon had not formally commenced business. Up to noon the President had taken no action in the premises. Snow is falling heavily. Stanton issued an order this afternoon in forming the employees of the War Office that be had again taken possession of the portfolio of the War Office. Stanton drew nearly three thousand dollars from the pay officer, being his salary during his suspension. Revenue to-day, $273,000. Pope is assigned to the command of the De partment of the Lakes, with headquarters at Detroit. It is understood the President in no way re cognizes Mr. Stanton.

The army offieera detailed by Gen. Meade, ns Governor and Treasurer of Georgia, left here this morning for Milledgcville. It is reliably stated that there are no funds in the State Trea sury, all having been removed in view ol the probability of such a seizure as the present. An order, dated the lOlh, appears from Gov. Jenkins, suspending the collection of all State taxes up to the first of May next. The old law authorized such a suspension, and the con vention, by a resolution adopted in December last, requested him to use his power for that purpose. The effect of this suspension ivili he to forbid any collection of the lax imposed by the convention for payment of its expenses. In flic convention, to-day, resolutions were introduced to draw $60,000 from the State Treasury for the per diem of members, and to recommend Congress to donate public lands to tlie negroes, and thus give them an oppor tunity to demonstrate any capacity lor self government they may have. A resolution commendatory of General Han cock was indefinitely postponed by 123 to 13. The following was adopted, after the loss of a motion to postpone, bv 64 to 44: Resolved , That, in the opinion of the con vention, it is unwise and inexpedient to direct ly or indirectly interfere with the legislation of the General Assembly, authorizing the issue of bonds for the purpose of paying the indebt edness of the State. A motion to add “and we hereby recognize such bonds as binding on the State,” could find no second, and was not acted on. The article on franchise tvas reported. It gives negroes the right to hold office and dis franchise,’ up to the first of January, 1869, all who are disfranchised by tlic fourteenth amend ment and all unable-to register under the re construction acts. From Richmond. Richmond, January 14. In convention, an article was adopted in the constitution declaring Virginia shall forever re main in the Union, and pledging lier'to resist ail efforts to break it up. Another article adopted is, that slavery in the State is forever abolished. A resolution from the Republican side, invit ing Ben Butler to address the convention, was adopted. Another, from the Conservatives, inviting Gen. Wise, was offered. At this point a Republican moved to recon sider the vote inviting Butler, and pending the discussion and amid motions to adjourn, Butler entered the door and shortly after the Conser vative members left the hall in a body, with one or two Republicans, who had opposed the invitation. Butler, in his speech, said there should he as few changes in the constitution ns possible, as few disfranchisements, and as few test oaths. With reference to disfranchise ments, he thought it should apply to controling officers of corporations, railroads, Ac. The Legislature to have power to remove these dis abilities upon proof of loyalty. The tax for education should he laid on persons, and other taxes should he borne by property and persons alike, lie urged the convention to be diligent and get through their work soon; suffrage couhrnot be taken from man after it has been granted, but the Legislature might hereafter, as an incentive, to education, confer it only upon those who could read and write. The convention voted thanks to Butler and adjourned. It has been snowing all day. From Charleston. Charleston, January 14. The reconstruction convention, composed of 52 whites and 03 negroes met, in pursuance of Gen. Canby’s order, at noon to-day. Ninety two delegates, constituting a quorum, were present. T. J. Robertson, of Columbia, was chosen temporary chairman, and the day was con sumed in the examination of credentials of delegates. A permanent organization will probably be effected to-morrow.

Tho proceedings to-day were quiet and or derly. Foreign. |BY CABLE.] London, January 14. The Moniteur says Naples is tranquil. Gen. Napier has arrived in Ahyssynia.

Conway was nominated superin tendent of Public Education, Simon Bclden, Attorney General, G. M. Wickliffe Auditor and Antoine Dubueat (colored), Treasurer. Dumas, nominated Lieut. Governor last night, declined the nomination, on the ground that his name had been used for the position without his con sent, and declining to fill any subordinate posi tion in the Radical party. The resignation was accepted and Oscar J. Dunn (black), also an alderman of this "city, was nominated in his stead. A resolution endorsing Chase for the Presi dency was voted down. The officer sent to examine into the disturb ance at Marshall, Texas, reports but one shot and that over the heads of the crowd, by a man who was arrested.

From Mississippi. Jackson, January 14. The President of the convention announced the standing committees. Mr. Howard offered the following : Whereas : A miuority report of the Commit tee on Compensation is believed to be intended as an insult to this convention, inasmuch as it declares the reconstruction acts unconstitu tional and this convention an illegal body and a farce; therefore, Resolved , It is the sense of this convention that the minority of that committee withdraw from this body which they consider illegal, without compensation, and pay their own ex penses while here, and in coming to and going from the plaee. The day was consutnc-d in debating this reso lution and substitutes offered therefor. The following, as a substitute for the above, was finally adopted by a vote of 49 to 33 : Resolved , That it is the sense of this conven tion that the delegate from Marshall, in the miuority report which lie has submitted, has violated the spirit and obligation of the regis tration oath which he claims to have taken. From North. Carolina. Raleigh, January 14. The State Convention met, agreeably to Gen. Cauby’s order, to-day, in Commons Hall.— Eighty-five delegates answered to their names.
