FROM WASHINGTON. (Tlie Report of Onr Own Special.) COLD IRON AND STEAL ASSOCIATION. INTERVIEW WI1H THE PRESIDENT He Explains His Policy for the Twenty-eighth Time that Day. Kie.. Etc, Etc. F.t ttto., JEto., Etc. EJTMs respectable Delegation from the "pad dling' districts ot our State made a call upon the President yesterday. Just after the delega tion from Baltimore pot ont, and before the dole Ration from Pittsburg, on the subject of Oil, got in, and as they were accompanied by Moorhead than most delegations that the. President has the pleasure of explaining his policy to, they were received with marked attention. It was pre dicted that some ot the more prominent of this delegation would make their mark in the event ot a visit to the White House, tfhich was true, for it was discovered, after they left, that nome of the yellow satin chairs in the East Room were pretty badly marked with a compo sition of iron-rust and oil, proving that the chairs were satin to their detriment. COLONEL HOORHEAD PRESENTING: THE DELEGA TION TO THE PRESIDENT. Captain Ward, of Detroit, President of the Iron and Steel Association, formally presented the delegation to the President; but as he was not in want of any delegation Just now, having a large stock on hand and more promised, ho told them to be seated. SALLTS OP WIT. Mr. ,Ward (the Iron President) : "We have come to tender you our respects." The Presi dent here interrupted by asking where they had left the Tender, it they had unhitched it from the Locomotive? The Iron man replied that they wire not railroad men. President Johnson said, "What are you?" Mr. Ward an swered, "I sell Iron and Steel for a living.'' "Oh," replied the President, "most of the dele gations that come here to praise me do that; if they don't sell Iron they sell something else, and invarubly steal fbr a living." Mr. Ward made the remark that he thought the President was indulging in irony. "Yes," said the President, "flat irony." Alter a few more remark in this lively and interesting vein, in which the President never tailed to explain his THE PBEEIDFNT EXPLAINING BIB POLICY. pol'cy, Mr. Ward contain d ia his speech: "V BT3 a combination of workinpmcn. These work' tngnen represent 60.000 employes, with their families, 760,000 people." This one fact con vinced the President that an IroR and Steal employe was among the most proline professions averaging 15 persons to every family. After the Iron and Steal men bad made soma other remarks, in which they used other metallic sub stances, sail sawder, for example, which was th substance of their remark", the President ex plained his policy. MB. WARD GETS AM IMPRESSION. Mr. Ward here said, "Weare under the impress slon that we Lave a Government." Where he roiild have got that impreoslon wns a wonder lo loth parties. It wns found out afterwards that it was an old Impression he got at the Govern ment Printing Ollice, and it wai not a good one. 20,000 arcEcnEs by judge kellby. t The Iron and Steal men ordered 20,000 Of Judge Kelley's Tarlir Speech, as they liked to read it so much; they thought they' could soon read 20,000 through, by each man on the Com mittee taking a certain number a day. FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. Proposals have been received here fiomthe Series Kditor of your paper to have hU portrait on the new Three, Cent notes. Anion other reasons, he urges tjat he has not only been in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, but is yet in favor of one; Is in lavor of the frac tional currency,-and doesn't think that ho, for one, could have too much of it; and offers, If his portrait is adopted in'tcsd of Mrs. Swlsshelm's, or any of the clerks in the Treasury Department, that he will urge the price of 3 cents for the chief articles of every day use, such ns Car fare, Lager, and Italian Opera tickets. All of the newspapers shall be 3 cents, the same as Ton Evening TELi.ORrn. It is thought his applica tion will be successful. TUB OATTLB TLAGCH IN TI1B DISTRICT. The old Cavalry Hordes at Giesboro aro be coming a great pinguc. Not being attended to, they wander about the district, eating up every thing Green they cn sec. A stranger from your citr on advertiser in the Age came near being dovoured from that cause this morning. JIH. HATMOND. Mr. Rajmond expects to make a (speech to-day In the Senate indorsing tho President's Policy. It is thought by some of our shrewd business mcn.thst so much "indorsing" by the gentleman from New York ill break him. Yours, Fido. A CORSE CAR-TOON FOR THE NEW COUNTY BUILDINGS. 1C24 Mifflin Street.. Mr. Scries Editor: Why don t you urge the Horse Curs to run on Sundays? I have never yet seen the Chesnut Street Bridge, and I under stand its case has been decided in the Supreme Court; but whether a decided good, or a derided bad case, it did not state. Next Sunday week Jim Maguire and Knuckle Ben are going to have a dog fight, with two 16 ponnd pups, out near the Falls. Now, how am I to get ont there to breathe the fresh air, and be there In time for tho fight? Besides, them as don't approve of dog fights could go to church, whereas, now, they can't go, unless they walk, if they are poor, as I am. All of our chaps are in favor of the cars, because when we goes to church we wants to ride, or we don't go. We don't much anyhow, but when we do go we wants to go right. Moya. Weet-her-nllglc.
