December 28.—The Secretary of Stat«* has. by direction of the President, ad- I dressed a letter to Provisional Governor Hol d«-n. of North Carolina, relieving him of that trust, and expressing the President's acknow ledgflSent of the fidelity, the loyalty, and the discretion which have marked liis administra tion. (We omit the letter, as it is word for word the aajne which Mr. Sewardnddressed to each Governor previously relieved.] The following telegram has been received from Governor Holden : Rai,f.i<»h, N. C. l>ecember 23, Mt4, Mem: Wilti'ihi H. Sitrurd, Secretary of Shite .• Your dispatch of this date, relieving me of my duty as l*rovisional Governor of North Carolina, has been received. It gives me pleasure to be relieved of the responsibilities and labors of the office. I will at once transfer the great seal, the papers and property of the State now in 881 possession, to the Hon.* Jonathan Worth; the Governor elect. He pleased to the President my sincere acknowledgments for the honor he has dove roe, and the confidence reposed in me. in calling me to this position. With the expression of the hope that liis plan for the restoration of the Insurgent States to their natural and appropriate place in the Union may be crowned wi'h entire success, I have the hon6r to be, with high respect, Your obe*dient servant, IAV.

Crossman, Chief Justice Cartter has issued an order, answerable on the 2d proximo, upon the mayor, the two boards of council, and the city register, to show oause why an •injunction should not be granted restraining them, or either ortheitt, from paying from the corpora lion fund any expenses "incurred in conducting the recent election to obtain the sense of the voting papulation of the city upon the ques tion of negro suffrage, and also from paying from said fund the cost of printing five hun dred copies of the speech of Mr. I.loyd, Presi- j dent ol" the Hoard of Aldermen, in opposition to equal suffrage. It is difficult to conceive whether this novel idea, originating with those holding local federal appointments here, is the ebulition of partisan spleen, or the evi dences merely of a purpose, in connection with j the postmaster, to give a broad intimation to the President that his views of suffrage and j the white man's present superiority over igno rant "freedmen" do not suit their high j mightinesses. [The names of the officers are published with the evident paepaae of calling the President's attention to their officiousness.] ma i.awykks' rasT oath. There is a great deal of curiosity entertained i as to the probable decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Mr. A. H. Garland, of Arkansas, who declines to take the test oath. The argument against the constitutionality ol the Congressional test oath has been delivered, and it is rumored about that the court will de cide against it. Mr. Chase is decieedly in fa- For of exacting it, but thereat of the judges 0 not, it is said, agree with him. f CO.VSTITfTIOXAI. AMENDMENTS. Thirteen different propositions are now pending before the House Committee on the j Jiid'<i;iry to amend the Constitution of the United .States, one of which, introduced by Mr. Schenck, to apportion representatives among the several States according to the number of actual voters, has been agreed on, and will probably be brought before the House next month. This is another scheme of the Radicals to perpetuate their power over the •South; but inasmuch as it requires the sanc tion of three-fourths ol the States, it will hardly be as successful as the anti-slavery amendment, which only became a part of the fundamental law of the land by the action of some of the late rebellious States. disabled sen annas. An order will be lashed by General Grant in a day or two, directing that disabled soldiers, capable of doing duty as watchmen of public buildings and other like services, shall have preference in such employment over able-bo died men in the army. The object of this or der is to prevent the discharge and mnstcring out of disabled soldiers,"hs far as may be, by making room for them in positions where they can perform service as well as able-bodied men. FEESIDEXT JOHNSON IX FAVOR OF REPRESEXTA TIOX BASED ri'OX VOTERS. I can state, upon good authority, that, the President is in favor of the amendment to the Constitution making the number of voter? the basis of representation. Whatever may be thought of the theory upon which this amend ment rests, its practical effect upon the solu tion of Ihe most difficult problem before us can hardly lie questioned, and in the course of time it may be found that upon this basis many differences of opinion among those who ought to go together can be reconciled.—Cor rnpenitmt Mem York Tribune. THE NEW BANKRUPT 811.T.. This bill, which, in all its provisions, is simi lar to that of the last session, has been intro duced, read a second time, and referred to the Select Committee. The suggestions made by Edwin James have been adopted by the com mittee, and little doubt is entertained but that it will become Law this session. It provides a system of voluntary and compulsory bank ,,. .ptcy, and is clear and simple in its details, relieving the honest and punishing the fraudu lent debtor. THE PBESIREXT'S FIBST BECEPTIOX. j The first reception will be given by the Pre sident on New Year's day, bnt no others will be given until after -the* recess of Congress j and the reception rooms are newly furnished. It is not probable that there will bo any levee held until February; a mouth, at least, being, required to place the Executive mansion in a respectable condition. Tnß CABIXET CHANGES. Among the on dits in political circles there is . one that Senator Hoolittle, of Wisconsin, will | probably take the place of Secretary Harlan in the Cabinet in a very short time. Mr. Harlan's intention to retire is well known. THB PACIFIC BAII.BOAU. Strong efforts have been made within a few days by interested parties to have the Secre tary of the Treasury issue United States bonds to the Pacific Railroad Company for the al leged completion of twenty-two miles of road west from Lawrence, Kansas.

It is reported to-day that a certain officer of the army, recently in Paris, took over toonr Minister there a verbal assnranee from our Government, to be communicated to the French Government, to the effect that if Max- j iniilian maintained himself on the throne for six months longer, and if during that period his Government should bo continued to be ad ministered with the same apparent stability that has marked it during the hist six months, and if during that, period the Liberals in Mex ico did not succeed in dethroning Maximilian nnd in reinstating the Republic, that then the United States would recognize the "Empire as the government de facto. "This report, I am led to believe, has a foundation iv fact.

[We are apprehensive that the yews corre spondent is asensationist.] RADICALS Kof IX A 8008 BXMOR WITH THE PRESIOKXT. As to the state of public feeling at the time of the adjournment, it would be idle to deny that 1 the President's haste in relieving the Pro j visional Governors while Congress was in sos i sion, and engaged in the discussion of measures bearing upon that subject, elicited very unfa- I vorable comments even from many of those who are not inclined to find fault with the President except in extreme oases. It isaskesl, certainly not without pertinence, what has occurred to induce the President, after having but a short time ago ordered the Provisional Governors to hold on, Suddenly to order the aaane Provisional Governors to surrender the governments of their States, all this without taking the sense of Congress upon the matter, j Being taken as a want of consideration for the legislative branch of the government, this measure could not be calculated to j foster that good feeling which promised so grow up between the President and i Congress, especially as it, is looked upon | by many as an uncalled-for breach of the tacit understanding, which was generally presumed to exist, that the Executive would permit things to remain in statu quo until Congress had spoken its mind. The impression is gain ing ground that the President, while pro fessing great anxiety to avoid a conflict with Congress, is endeavoring to push forward the execution of his own plan, regardless of the will of tho National legislature. Such a course would naturally lead to sharp differ ences, and arouse the temper even of those who so far have been studiously cultivating harmony and good feeling.— Correspondent yew York Tritmne.

i Reports From Mexico. New Ori.eaxh, December 22.— Tlip Times's 1 Mexican correspondent says that General Dias is carrying all before him. and that the whole State of Oajsco is in arms against the Impe rialists.

He takes strong ground against the posi tion assumed by the Tobacco Convention recently held at* the Cooper Institute, New York He contend? that the proposed taxing of leaf tobacco would be injurious alike to Government, the planter and the maufac tnrer.
