The effect is quite the reverse. The President's declaration that the Govern ment must be preserved against both extremes, and that if Northern Democrats stood in the way. they must get out of it, excites their in dication and hostility. There is no longer any hope that a con servative phalanx can be found among the Republican members. In regard to the con stitutional amendment respecting representa tion, I find that seventeen Senators must vote against it to prevent its passage by a two thirds vote. There are eleven Democrats who wtf #ote against it. Of course six Republi can!- must unite with them if the amendment i> to by arrested. Of the six names mentioned a> likely to be cast in the negative, four are ultra radicals, who will accept nothing short of negro suffrage, and the other two arc mode rate Republicans. The votes tif some of these are uncertain. " Iota. From California. S.\x Fraxcisco, February 11.?The Rev. Isaac Owen, one of the pioneers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died suddenly \ esterday.

SESSION or THB CABINBT 09 THE FRERDMRX'S BILL. On Thursday I telegraphed von that there was little doubt that the President would return the Freedmen's Bureau bill with his objections thereto. The next day the subject was brought up before a full meeting of the Cabinet, when Mr. Johnson, it is said, did not hesitate, in his nsutil calm and decisive manner, to assert that he should " return the bill."? Several of the Cabinet endorsed his position, but a majority of the members, it is asserted, opposed it, urging that the bill be signed as it stood. But the President was immovable, and the meeting, which lasted the best part of the day, broke up with a distinct understanding from the chief of the council board that he should veto the bill. The objections of the President are said to be wholly constitutional, aud they will undoubt edly be brought to bear upon all the acts of Congress tending to work injuriously upon the South, and in the passage of which the South ern States have been refused therepresentation to which the President has officially declared they were entitled.?

[Downing got in some how.] The President'!] Position?A Free Conversation Concerning his Speech to the Colored Men. [Correspondence of the lJoston Advertiser.] Washington, February 9, 1S66. The following is the substance of a conver sation which took place yesterday morning between the President and a distinguished representative, concerning the President's speech of Wednesday to the negro delegation which called on him. The Representative said some persons felt, and others would probably, for personal or factious ends, endeavor to show, that the Presi dent was taking sides against the colored peo ple, or was, at least, less favorably disposed toward them than he had been. The President responded that no one could fairly and truthfully do that. He was now what he had always been, the friend of the poor and the lowly. He had never broken faith with anybody, and if his past course and his former language were not a sufficient guarantee that he meant well toward the colored people, and would endeavor to secure to them a fair chance, nothing he could say or do now would give any such guarantee. He thought, however, that it was best to speak plainly, and he did not believe that the eiTort now making by some who call themselves the negroes' special friends to force universal suffrage upon the States was wise or judicious. He thought it tended to embitter feelings, while our effort should be to cultivate calm ness and confidence. He believed it would result in great injury to the prospects of the colored people. He did not know whether Mr. Douglass and his friends expected him to talk to them, but he thought it best to take the opportunity to state his views. He would repeat that he was, if he knew his own heart, the colored man's friend. He had great faith in the people, and would endeavor to carry out their will. The Representative then said that some per sons might take, or profess to take, the Presi dent's speech as an indication that he was at variance with his party friends, and that some others might endeavor to found upon it the charge that he was preparing to go over. The President smiled, and answered that if the party which opposed his election indulged in aiiy great expectations on that score, they were likely to be disappointed. He might dif fer with individuals of what was called the Union party as to the means to be used, but he considered himself in general accord with that party, as a whole, in the ends to be reached. He was not a party man, and he meant to sink the partisan in the patriot. But so far as he understood the sentiments of the Union party he was in general accord with it. The Kepn-sentative finally, after farther conversation, snid something about the distri bution of offices?about Executive patronage. The President remarked that he was the ser vant of the whole people, but he could not entirely forget by what party he had been Itlaced in his present position and supported n the administration of the duties entrusted to him. He proposed to fight his battles within the lines of the party which elected him to office. He might differ with some of his friends, and he should feel wholly at liberty to so dif fer, and to 6tate the ground of his contrary belief or opinion; tut he considered himself identified with the great Union party, and had no desire or intention of being found outside. He intended to exercise his own judgment, but was ready to yield it when he found it was not sustained by the judgment of the people. He had no sympathies with those who opposed the war for the Union, and while he hoped the whole country wonld approve the endeavor to restore the Union, he could not forget that some men favored and some opposed the cause of the Union when it was in peril.

This body reassembled this morning In the Methodist Church, South, and the exercises were opened by the nsn&l religions services, which were conducted by Rev. J. S. Martin. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, there were bnt few spectators present, but among the few were several persons from Washington and the Maryland counties. Rsv. S. Kepler was, at his own request, granted a supernumerary relation. A letter was received froi m Rev. Isaac Gib son, of Charlestown, Virginia, announcing his withdrawal from the Conference. Rev. Mr. Gilbert offered a resolution re questing Dr. Doggett to furnish a copy of his address to the Conference for publication. Adopted. The question, " Where will the next session of the Conference be held!" being asked, Baltimore and Staunton were nominated. Rev. N. Wilson and John Poisal urged Balti more as a good opening, and Rev. Mr. Dice, who named Staunton, withdrew the nomina tion. Rev. W. H. Wilson stated that the old primitive Methodists of Central Charge and that vicinity would welcome the Conference to that city. Baltimore was thereupon unani mously chosen. The committee on the charges against Rev. J. B. Hyde reported a resolution that the charges are insufficient, and that they be dis missed, The report was amended by inserting "and his character pass," and adopted. Rev. J. S. R. Clark, assistant editor of the Richmond Christian Advocate, of the Virginia Conference, was introduced to the Conference. A call having been made for statistics, the Secretary asked what instructions the Con ference would give as to making up the sta tistics from Maryland. Winans Chapel and Central Church, Baltimore, Bladensburg, Charles, Rockville, South River, and West River Circuits were represented, and statistics from some, but not all, had been received. Rev. J. S. Gilbert stated that he felt some delfCofjr in giving statistics of Rockville Cir cuit, as an effort was being made to charge him with influencing the people of that Circuit. He had acted for himself, and the people for themselves. Rev. W. H. Wilson stated there was a large field for the body in Maryland, some parts of which had not been heard from, but the people there were groaning to be with this body. Rev. J. L. Gilbert offered a resolution that all preachers from the Valley having taken up Conference collections be allowed to retain them, and that all other collections be paid over to the Committee on Necessitous Cases. He offered this in view of the small pay received by the ministers of that section last year. The Bishop decided that the Conference could not appropriate a collection for any pur pose but that for which it was raised. The roll was called for claims on the Con ference fund, when five or six claims were made. Rev. G. G. Brookeoffcred resolntions, signed by W. S. liaird and himself, setting forth that although the relations sustained to the colored people ha^ e been greatly changed, yet, as Min isters of the Gospel, they feel it their privi lege and duty to continue their efforts to dvance their spiritual welfare, and declaring preaclf hat they will preaclf to them, labor with hem, organize classes, Sabbath schools, &c., nd requesting the lay members to co-ope ato with the ministers in this benevolent vdrk. Bishop Early here stated that the distinctive eature of the Church Was not to meddle in ny way with politics, but this resolution did lot come under that head. The resolution was adopted unanimously. The case of Rev. Thomas Brown, lately in hargeof the Independent Methodist Church n M street, Washington, asking admission nto the Conference, was taken up and riis ussed, bnt no final action was taken. [The lifflculty in this case is, that Mr. Brown is iot recommended by the official body of any hurch.l Rev. E. F. Bnsey offered a resolution, that as i portion of the country within the bounds of he Conference has become so impoverished ?y the late war that the people of some of the barges and circuits, being in so reduced cir umstances, they will be unable to give the (reachers an adequate support, that an agent *e appointed to travel at large and make col ections, to be appropriated for the use of such ninisters. Rev. I)r. E. W. Sehon advocated the adop ion of the resolut ion in an eloquent speech, in vhich he stated that he had beheld one of the jrandest sights he had ever seen when the call vas made for claims. Notwithstanding nearly .11 of this body being needy, and some with carcely means to travel from one circuit to nother, almost every one, when his name vas called, answered 41 no claim." Dr. Sehon Jso spoke of the missionary work of the Ihurch, and took the ground that the religious ssociations of the South formed at present he great conservative element of the South. Rev. J. S. Martin was opposed to sending an .gent out for money outside the bounds of the Conference. He thought the preachers should ;o to work and look for money from old Vir :inia and Maryland. He thought that the cir uits would not pay up their ministers prompt y if these resolutions were adopted. After some further debate, in which Rev. dr. Brooke stated that he intended to offer an mendment to the constitution of the Mis ionary Society, by inserting, as one of the bjects, 44 to establish missions among the olored people," the resolutions were referred o a committee. On yesterday, in most of the evangelical hurches, services were conducted by the mem ?ers attending the Conference, and the con regations were very large and attentive. In the Methodist Church, South, the solemn ervices of ordination took place, the follow ng deacons being ordained at 11 o'clock, after .n excellent sermon by Rev. Dr. D. S. Dog ett, Bishop Early officiating r David Harris, George H. Zimmerman, Lemuel W. Haslnp, Glen A. P. Noel, William McDonald, Addison Veller, Joseph Crickenberger, Charles L. lameron, John N.

Perry, Charles L.Tor eyson, Thomas Briley, and John N. Gray. These services were peculiarly impressive, nd, notwithstanding their length, a large ongregation witnessed patiently the in teres t ng ceremonies.

He is a native of New England, and a good many of his friends and neighbors fought and suffered for the cause of the Uuion. Mr. Browne wrote and spoke a good many smart things about the war during its progress, and talked about his will ingness that all his relations and his wife's relations should go to the war. Mr. Browne himself did not go, nor do we recollect ever to have heard that, daring the gloomy four years of the struggle, he ever delivered a lecture in aid of the Uniou cause, or of the great human itarian enterprises that grew out of it, and that were designed for the relief of our gallant soldiers. Mr. Browne is making a profes sional trip through the South. We have heard of him lecturing at Memphis, at New Orleans, at Savannah, and lastly at Charleston, S. C.
