On Saturday Prefideni Johnson had a very
portent interview
with a Oelosatien of South Caro-
Unions, and the latter received settle very plain
talk from the former. The President told them that
the question to to dealt with was not reconstruction,
but restoration; as he did not recognize that any
,state could secede from the Union. Slavery is dead;
and the sooner the people of that State recognized
and aounowledged that fact through a State 00n
?artier or other proper authority, the better it
'Geoid be for them. He recommended that they
do so forthwith, by adopting the antislavery amend
ment to the Constitution, because, if they did not,
tom people of South Carolina had a poor chance
or having their senators or representatives re
es:eased by Congress when they present
ebeinsewee for admission. The delegation
slid teey were willing and anxious to adopt the
President's suggestions, and they asked him to ap.
Point a Governor, so that they could carry out the
policy enunciated above as soon as possible. The
President was very frank with them, and the dela
gates seemed to be all the more pleased for it.

SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT.
HIS INTERVIEW WITH THE SOUTH
CAROLINA DELEGATION.
A Long and Careful Conversation,
Covering the Whole Ground.
THE DELEGATION IS TALKED TO PLAINLY,
AND ASSURED THAT SLIMY IS
TOTALLY DEAD.
WASHINGTON, June 24.—A delegation front South
Carolina, consisting - of the following-named per
sons, had an interview thisafternoon with - the Presi
dent, by appointment: Judge Frost, Isaac E.
Holmes, George W. Williams, W. H. Gilliland,
J. A. Steinmeyer, Frederick Richards, William
Whaley, James H. Taylor, R. R. Gill, and Joseph
A. Yates.
The President said it was his intention to talk
plainly, so there might be no misunderstanding.
Therefore, it were better they should look eaoa
other full in the face, and not imitate the ancient
Augurs, who, when they met one another, would
smile at their success in dooeiving the people.
He said if this Union was to be preserved it must
be on the principle of fraternity, both the Northern
and Southern States maintaining certain relations
to the Government. A. State 011,1MOt go Out of the
Union, and therefore none of them having gone out,
we must deal with the question of restoration and not
reconstruction. He suspected that he was a better
State:lights man than some of those new present.
Mr. Holmes. You always Claimed to be. [laugh.
ter.]
Tne President replied : He always thought that
slavery could not be sustained outside the Conetitu
tion of the United States, and that whenever the
experiment was made it would bo Jost. wnethor it
could or could not he was for the Union, and if
slavery set itself up to control the Government, the
Government must triumph and slavery prish.
The institution of slavery made the issue, and we
Might as well meet it like wise, patriotic, and
honest mon. All institutiOnS Mint be subor dinate
to the Government, and slavery has given way. He
could not, if he would, remand it to rte former entire
He knew that some whom he now addressed
locked upon him as a great people's man, and a
radical; but, however unpleasant it might be to
them, ho had no hesitation in saying that before
and after he entered publics life he was opposed to
monopolies, and porpotnitiell, and entails. For
this he used to be denounced as a demagogue.
When they had a monopoly in the South, in slaves,
though he had bought and held 'slaves, he had
never sold one. From the Magna Marta we had
derived our ideas of freedom of speech and liberty
of the prose, and unreasonable Bear:Mee, and that
private property should not be taken for public
uses, without just compensation. He had these no.
tins fixed in ills mind, and was therefore opposed
to this class of legislation. Being MO Videlitlally
brought to his present position, he intended to emote
the power and ielluenoe of the Government so as to
place In power the popular heart of this ratline.
He proceeded on the principle that the great
masses aro not like mushrooms about a sump,
which wet weather supplies. He believed this na.
lion was sent on a groat mission to afford an ex•
ample of freedom and substantial happiness to all
the Powers of the earth. The Constitution of the
United States, in speaking or persons to be chosen
ae representatives in Congress, sale: The electors
in each State shall have the qualifications requisite
for electors of the most numerous branch of the
State Legislature."
Here wo find a resting place. This was the point
at which the rebellion commenced. AU the States
were in the Union, moving in harmony ; but a por
tion of them rebelled, and, to some extent, paralyzed
and suspended the operations of sheir governments.
There is a oorstitiitional obligation resting upon the
United States Government to pat down rebellion,
enpprere insurrtetion, end to repel invasion. The
slaves went into the war as slaves, and came out
free men of color. The friction of flee rebellion has
rubbed out the nature and character of slavery.
The loyal men who were compelled to bow and lab.
mit to the rebellion should, now that the rebellion
is ended, stand equal to loyal won everywhere.
Hence the wish of restoration, and trying to get
back the States to the point at which they formerly
moved In perfect harmony.
He did not intend to serve any particular Clique
or Interest. He would say to the delegation that
slavery is gone as an institution. There was no
hope that the rumple of South Carolina could be ad
mitted kite the Senate or the Howe of Repreeelitao
tlvea until they had afforded evidence by their con
ductof this truth. -The policy, now that the rebellion
is suppressed, is not to restore the State governments
through military rule, but by the people. While
the war has emancipated the slaves, it has smarm!.
pated a larger number of white men. lie would
talk plain.
The delegation said that was what they desired.
Re could go to men who had owned fifty ore hun
dred slaves, and who did not care as much for the
poor white man as they did for the negro. Those
who own the laud have the capital to employ, and
therefore some of our Northern friends are de
ceived melon they, living afar off, think they can
exercise a greater control over the freedmen than
the Southein men, who have been reared where the
Institution of slavery prevailed.
Now, he did not want the late sleveholders to
control the negro votes against white men. Lot
each State judge of the depository of its own politi
cal power. Homes for emancipating the white man
as well 68 the black.
ltlr. Holmes asked—lS that not altogether =mom
plaited
The President readied that he did not think the
question was fully settled. The question an to
whetter the black man shall be engrafted in the
constimeney will be settled as we go along. He
would not disguise the fact that while he had been
persecuted and denounced at the South as a traitor.
he loved the great mass of the Southern people. He
opposed the rebellion at its breaking out and fought
it everywhere; and now he wanted' the principles
of the government carried out and maintained.
Dlr. Holmes Interrupted by saying: We want to
get back to the some position as you describe, as we
are without law ; no courts are open and you have
Ike power to aselat
The President replied : The Government cannot
go on unless it is right. The people of South Caro.
line must have a Convention and amend their Con
stitution by abolishing slavery, and this must be
domain good faith; and the Convention or Legisla
ture must adopt the proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, which prohibits
and excludes slavery everywhere.
One of the delegates said: We are most anxious
for civil rule, for we have had more than enough of
military despotism,
The ?reelect:ft, resuming aid that as the Execu
tive be could only take thelktitlatory steps to enable
them to do the things which it was incumbent upon
them to perform.
Another of, the delegates remarked that it was
assumed in some parts of this country that, in con
sequence of the rebellion, the Southern States had
forfeited their rights as members of the confederacy,
and that if they were restored it could only be on
certain cor dittoes, one of which was that slavery
shall be abolished. This could be done only through
a convention.
The President repeated that the friction of the
rebellion bad rubbed slavery out, but It would be
better to so declare by law. As one of the delegates
had jail remarked that the Constitution of South
Carolina did not establish slavery, it would be
better to Insert a clause therein antagonistic to
slavery.
Judge Frost said: The object of our prayer is
the appointment of a governor. The State of
South Carolina will accept these conditions, in
order that law and order may be restored, and that
enterprise and Mdustra may be directed to useful
etas. We desire restoration as soon as possible.
It is the part of wisdom to make the best of cir
cumstances. Certain delusions have been dis
pelled by the revolution ; among them, than slavery
war an clement of political Strength and moral
power. It is Neay certain that the old notion pd.
epecting State...rights, in the maintenance of whisk
those who, in South Carolina made the rebellion,
erred, bas ceased to exist. Another delusion,
namely, that Cotton is King," has also vanished
In the mist. We are to come back with these notions
dispelled, and with a new system of labor. The
people of South Carolina will cordially cooperate
with the Governmet tin making that labor effective,
and elevating the negro as much as they can. It IS,
however, mere the work of time than the labor of
enthusiasm and fanaticism. The people of the South
have the largest Jaffna in the question. We are
willing to et-operate for selfish, if for no higher
reasons. We have taken the liberty, encouraged by
your kindness, to throw out 'suggestions by which
the policy of the Government will be most surely
and effectively subserved.
I repast that the new system of labor is to be in
augurated by Sober, sound, and dlsereet judgment.
The =gam are Ignorant; their minds are much in
play with liberty. They are apt to confound liberty
with licentiousness. Their reat idea is, I fear, that
freedom consists in exemption from work. We will
take in good faith and carry out your intentions
with seal and the hope for the best, and none
will reicke more than the people Of the South
it mnancipetion nueeesefttl. Freedom to
the slave is frecedem to the master, provided you
can supply a motive to industry, The. people
of South Coronae, from their fidelity to honor, have
submitted to great sacrifice% They endured all.
We are defeated and conquered by the North, who
are too strong for us. The same good faith which
animated them in the contest will not be found
wanting in their loyal pledge of support to the Go
nerroneet. There may grow out of this blessings
which you have not foreseen, and some pleasing
rays now illumine the hellion. I suppose the oath
of allegiance will be taken with as mush unanimity
In South Carolina as anywhere else, and we wilt
submit to the condition of things which Providence
has assigned, and endeavor to believe
6, All discords of harmony not understood,
All partial evil, =Overeat good."
We cheerfully accept the measures recommended,
and would thank you to reeoremend, at your con
venience, e, governor to Carry out the wishes you
bave expressed. •
ilea:nut Johnson asked the delegates to submit
ahem they would prefer as provisional governor.
To this they replied that they had a list of live
men, viz : Aiken, bicElhaney, Boyce, Colonel Man=
ning (late governor), and B. F. Perry. Ail of them
were spoken of as good man, but had been more or
less involved in the rebellion. Mr. Perry was a
district judge in the Confederacy until a fete weeks
before it collapsed, and it was said ha had always
been a good Union• man, and, of strict integrity.
The people certainly would repast him, and he
could not fall to be acceptable.
The President said he knew Benjamin Perry very
well, having Served with him in Congress. :there
weft no Spirit of vengeance or vindictiveness on the
part of the Government, whose only desire was to
restore the relations which formerly exiated. He
was not now prepared to give them an answer as to
whom be should appoint, but at the Cabinet meet
ing, on next Tuesday, he would repeat the substance
of the intervew, with a hope to the restoration which
the gentlemen present eo earnestly desired.
The delegates reamed to be much pleased with the
proceedings, and lingered for some time to Wieldy,
ally converee with the President.
THE FUNERAL OF MRS. SEWARD.
A Large Number of Yrol2lfillellt Persons
Present
AtrBIIBIT, Now 'ironic, June 24.—The funeral ob.
monies cf Mrs. Win. H. Seward, this afternoon drew
tcgather, from far and near, a large concourse of
s 5 mpattleir g friends. The occasion and the services
were exceedingly impressive and touching. The
brautiful grounds around the mansion of Mr,
Seward were laid out mostly In accordance with
the taste of his accomplished wife. In and
about three grounds she had passed the happiest
hours of her life, and shortly before her spirit de
tailed she said to her husband, "Oh! Henry, how
1 should like to see the dowers and hear the birds
M the gsrden once more." In obedience to this wish
the remains were removed to a shaded spot in the
grout de at ono coolook to-day, where they were vi.
sited by the Monde of she Wally until a few minutes
before, three o'clock, when, lipoll the appearance or
a shower, they were returned to the house. 'Prom
thence, at half past three o'clock, the funeral pre.
Man moved to St. Peter's church. AU places or
business were clued out of respect to the memory
el the deceased, and the streets were crowded with
mourning Minna to attend the funeral of the la•
mented lady.
The beautiful funeral service of the Epfsoopal
Church was read by the Rev. Mr. Brainard,
when the hymn I would not live always" and
another hymn were sung with touching effect.
The altar was elaborately adorned with wreathe,
crosses, crowns, and pyramids of flowers, sent by
mourning friends from Albany, Geneva, Boohoo
ter, Buffalo, and various other places.
Governor Seward, borne down more with sor
row then by the dreadful wounds Inflicted—
first by accident and then by design—followed
the remains into the church and then to the
cemetery, attracting all eyes upon, and awaken
ing the most profound sympathy of all. That
humanity could bear up so bravely under Such
an accumulation of suffering Seems truly won
derful. The pallbearers were Governor E. S.
Throop, Lieutenant Governor George W. Pat
terson, R. M. Blatehford, 7hnrlew Weed, Jas. G
Seymour, Geo. lticGreer, Christopher Morgan,
Kalifs White, David Wright, and B. F. Hall. The
reverend clergy, with Baron Stoeckel, the Russian
minister, Major General Hancock, Major General
Butterfield, and Brigadier General Mitchell, fol

The papers announced that at tiro o'clock, Sun

his way to the depot, paper and pencil in hand, pre

in the deep solemnity of a summer Sabbath in the
country, imposed Its fooling of tranquil peace on all
who were passing through it upon their mournful
mission of respect to the gallant commander Who
had so lately departed from his fellows.
THE 'FAMILY CHAPEL.
Passing along the banks of the Brandywine, the

Mr. Darts lent for him to communicate the Infor.
motion that Mr. Blair desired a conferenee be.

' Stephens promptly said that if Mr. Blair spoke by
authority of Presioent Lincoln, he moat earnestly
advised the conference, but he recommended first,
that the strictest secrecy be used ; second, that the
"unities to the conference be President Lincoln and
los. Davis, and that Generals Grant and Lea be the
only ones to even know of the meeting. .The ad
vice was taken, as usual, in Richmond—disregarded
altogether—and by officially telegraphing, the news
to every corner of the sae:Wed Coniederacy.
Two days later,. Mr. Stephens wee surprised by
the Information that a committee of three wore to
go, consisting 01 Alexander H. Stephens, Vice Pre.

RICHMOND, February 6,1865.
To the President of the Confederate States :
Sin Under your letter of appointment, a 8 COM-
Inissionere, of the 28th nit., we proceeded to seek
en informal conference with Abfahant Lincoln,
President of the United States, upan the subject
Mentioned in the letter. (Jonference Was Wanted,

steamer anchored in Hampton Roads, where we
met President Lincoln and the Hon. Mr. Seward,
Secretary of State for the United States. it con.
tinned for several hours, and vraB both full and ex
'
Tbe only statement of moment in this first para
graph is that the Conference was both full and
explicit.
We learned from them that the message of Prost.
dent Lincoln to the Congress of the United States
in December last, expiate ft Clearly his mimeo:mete as
to the terms, conditions, and mode of procedare by
which peace can be secured to the people, and we
are not informed that they would be modified or al
te-ed to obtain that end. We understood from him
that no terms or proposal of any treaty or agreement
looking to the ultimate settlement would be enter
tained or made by bim with the authorities of the
Conceder ate Slates, because that would be a recogni•
Sten of their existence as a separate power, which, un
der no circumstances, would be done. And, for like
reasons, that no Men terms would be entertained by
hue. from separate Stales; that DO extended true 5 or
armistice, as ea present advises, would be urall:ed
or allowed, without catisfastory &Marie% In ad
vance, of the complete restoration of the authority

racy. ' •
The first paragraph of the above simply means
that recenstrucsion of the Union was the only beefs
of peace or of conference, and no desire for peace
would be allowed to overrule than sine qua non.
The words which we have italicised were the princi
pal subject of discussion, tor, as in Kr. Davis , in
etructions to Mr. Stephens at the time of his first
attempt to teach Washington city. Mr. Davie In•
elated upon his! mule, either as commander or Prost-
delta and would have no eonfereritie without that
esriserneene—enieed.
Mr. Linear. statisa fatly the only - Sri:Mud
upon which he could rest the justice of the war—
• either with his own people, or with. foreign Powers
was, that it was not a war for conquest, but that
the States never had been separated from the Union.
Consequently, ho could not recognize another Go
vernment Inside of the one of which ho atone was
President, nor admit the separate independence or
States that were yet a part of the Union, Teat.
said he, would be doing vit at you have oolong asked
Europe to do in vain, and be resigning the only
thing the armies of the Union are fighting for.
To that Mr. Hunter replied at length, In rather
Congressional style, urging that the recognition of
• Mr. Davis' power to make a treaty was the first and
Indispensable step to pose% and referring to the
correspondence between King Charles the First and
his Parliament as reliable precedent of a constitn.
tionai ruler treating with the rebels.
Mr. Lincoln's Imbue that indescribable expreS
iiion which generally preceded his hardest hits, and
he remarked : "Upou qaestions of history I must
refer you to Mr. Seward, for he 15 posted in sash
things, and I don't propose to be bright. Alp only
distinct recollection of the matter is, that Charles
lost his head." This settled Mr. Hunter for awhile.
There wee little said about the feet that an ar
mistice would be of no benefit, unless it preceded
that which the North must have, If her armies
stopped from the tide of victory, to wit : the reite
ration of the Union and its laws.
Mr. Lincoln remarked that, whatever cense.
qUerreeS may follow from the reestablishment of
that authority, it must be worded ; but ladiviouels
subjeot to pains and penalties under the laws of the
United States might rely upon a very liberal use of
the powers confided to him to remit those pains and
penalties if peace be restored.
He also stated, in the above connection, that limi
ted as he was by the Constitution, he oouid not
change or impair the pewersof Congress, nor abolish
its laws, nor stay the judgments of the courts; for
the legislative and judicial power had coequal juris
diction with the Executive. But he did otter ail the
power of mercy, and pardon, and influence, both as
the Chief Magistrate and as a popular party leader,
and that is a better offer than rebels on the eve
of destruction and ruin ever had before from a vic
torious power.
Mr. Hunter stated that he had never entertained
any fears for his person or life from so mild. a Go.
vernment as that of the United States. To which
Mr. Lincoln retorted that he also had felt easy as
to the rebels, but not always so easy about the
lamp-poets around Washington city—a hint that he
had already done more favors for the rebels than
was exactly popular with the radical men of his
own party.
During the conference the proposed amendments
to the Constitution adopted by Congress on the slat
Were brought to notice. These amendments provide
that Deltas's' slavery nor involuntary Servitude, ex
cept for mimes, should exist Within the United
States, or any place within its jurisdiction, and
Congress should have power to enforce the amend-
Ment by appropriate legielation.
Mr. Lincoln had almost assumed the tone of
argument, and intimated that the States might
do much better to return to the Union at once, than
to stand the chances of continued war, and the ins
creasing bitterness of feeling In Congress; and that
the time might come when we would cease tta be an
erring people, invited back to the Union as °Wrens,
but looked upon perhaps as enemies, to be extermi
nated or ruined.
Mr. Seward then7reinarked "Mr. President. It
18 as well to inform these gentlemen that yesterday
Congress acted upon the amendment to the Consti
tution abolishing elavery."
Mr. Lincoln stated that was true, and suggested
that there was a question as to the right of the
insurgent Statue to return at once and claim a
right to vote upon the amendment, to which the
cencorrence of two4latrds of the States was re
quired.
lie stated that It would be desirable to have. the
institution of glavery abolished by the consent of
the people, as soon as.possible—he hoped within six
years. He also stated that fotir hand riot ...mi.. of
dollars :Wane a. effaced as compensation to the
Owners, and remarked, "you would be surprised
were Ito give you the names of those who favor
that" .
Mr. punter said Something about the inhumanity
of leaving so many poor old negroes and young
children destitute, by encouraging the ablebodied
regroea to run away, and Bilked, what are they—
the helpless—to dot
Mr. Lincoln said that reminded him of an old
friend in Illinois, who had a crop of potatoes and
did not want to dig them. SO he told g neighbor
that he would turn in his hogs and let them dig
them for themselves. Hut, said the neighbor, the
frost will soon be in the ground, and, when the soil
is hard frozen, what will they do then? To which
the worthy farmer replied, Ist 'em root!"
Mr. Stephens said he supposed that was the origi
nal of " Root Hog or Die," and a fair indication of
the future of the negroes.
The finishing up part of the report of Mr. Davis'
00Mmissionere reads thus :
"or all ootro.apontlowe that preceded the confor
ms herein mentioned, and tabling to cease, yon
have heretofore been informed.
" Very respectfully, your obedient servants,

"JOHN A. CARIPIIBLL."
All we know of the oorrespondenee above men.
Honed we have from the report of Mr. Seward, as
Mr. Davis never favored us with It.
The whole meeting was friendly, and the parting
cordial. Mr. Stephens reported to Mr. Davis that
nothing was determined, and that if he relied upon
the sincerity of Mr, Moir, the conference wail but a
cinfirmation of the desire for pules on the part of
tike United States, Mr. Davis, however, looked
upon the proposals as insulting, and seemed to have
the concurrence of Mr. Hunter In that view. He
wished a statement to go before the publto, that
only insulting terms were tendered ; but the eom
teissioners declined to make it, on the ground that
it was not true.
With some difficulty they Soured the reception of
the brief and perfectly truthful, but not very clear
report that was published, and Mr. Davis put the
Coloring to it, and endeavored to secure his object of
crushing the great Southern peace party by an in
hammatory despatch all over the country, followed
by the actual report, with the following ingenious
preface, written by himself.

To the Senate and House of Representation of the
Confederate States:
I recently received a written notification whloh
satisfied me that the President of the United Staten
was disposed to confer, informally, with any official
sgebte that might be sent by me, with a view to the
restoration of pease. I regueeted the Hon. A. H.
Stephens, Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, and Hen. John A.
Campbell to proceed through our lines and hold
conference with Lincoln, or such persons as he
might depute to represent him.
A herewith submit for the information eitongreee
the report of these eminent citizens above named,
showing that the enemy refused to enter into negotia
tions with the Confederate States, or any of them
'separately, or give our people any other tiaras or
guarantees than thotielwhielt Congress may grant, or
to permit us to have a vote on any other basis than
Our unconditiond euhatistion tO their rule, coupled
islth the weeptanee of their recent lealGiatlon,
ontolog the athendmont to the Constitution emanci

part of the Federal Congress to legislate on the subject
of the relations between the white and black populations
in each State. Such is, as ,1 understand, the offset or
the amendment to the Constitution which has been
adopted by the Congress of the United States.
This was closely followed by male meetings in the
capital and elsewhere. Row strange it Is that all
those bloody-minded men, who advocated the
" black flag," and "no quarter" upon our street
corners,_ contented themselves with words ; and with

Shortly after itild.day, on Jane 22, a lire broke out
in a hilliaing at Pres de Vile, SIATIT the Bishop's
rehoolhouse. The wind, unfortunately, being strong
from the southwest, the fire a wept along the narrow
street, (Cbamplain,) hardly wide enough to admit
two carriages passing each other, both Sides of the
street falling a prey to the sill•devouring flames.
The houses In that quarter being thickly In.
habited, from collar to garret, principally by the
lebtring cless,lt was most distressing to witness the
unfortunate people flying with their household effects
—min, Women, and children stoking under burdens.
Fully one hundred and fifty houses were utterly de
stroyed, Champlain street on both sides beiceburned
for a distance of three•quarterB of a mite. For.
'Ornately, the flames could spread!baly In two direc ,
11008 or the lon would have been Infinitely greater.
Be leis, everything has been swept away from the

width from two to four hundred feet. Ws area was
closely ps eked with houses of emery description, many
of tbero tenement houses, oOntainingseveralfamtlieS.
'lto artillery and royal engineers were prepared to
blow np houses to stop the progress of the flames,
but on the representation of the civic autherities
that an explosion would endanger the rook above,
portions of which have already this and previous
years spontaneously fallen, with great loss of life
and property, the project was suspended, unless it
should become imperatively necessary. Tho gale
from the west abating, the necessity did not arise,
although at one time the whole of the lower town
was In imminent danger, One shipyard, at least,
is said to have been destroyed.
The following steamers sidled today: The City of
London, for Liverpool; Germania, for Hamburg
Alhambra, for Charleston; Ellen S. Terry, for
