Movements of Gen. Grant. The

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Gen. Grant left
here to-day for the Army Of the Potomac,
accompanied by Major General Sherman,
formerly a division commander In the
Army Of the Cumberland, but now ordered
to the command Of the cavalry in the Army
of the Potomac. .e -,.t-.,,.ss..ia /,

having recently surrendered to the United
States forces, the proper authorities have
asked Congress for an appropriation of
100000 with which to procure the agricul-
tural implements and subsistence until they
can support themselves on the reservation
set apart for their colonization. The Nava-
joes have been at warfare nearly two CEN
turies, and the peaceful plan now proposed
is deemed more economical than the large
war expenditures heretofore incurred in
New Mexico. They number about 1000.

Decision I'm the Quicksilver Mining
Case Estate of Jefferson - The
uO.lO U,Oam. .......

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Associate Justice
Nelson, in delivering the opinion in favor
of the Quicksilver Mining company, to-day.
said, that If the Court for the Northern Dis
trict of California had conformed to the man
date of the Supreme Court in entering the
survey thecontroversy would have thus been
closed. 1t appeared from the opinion that the
California Court was influenced by law Of
Congress, which allowed appeals from sur
veys in private land claims. The altering of
the line fixing the boundary in dispute was
wholly unsrstained. If it was competent
to change one line 1t was to change all the
merits Of the case, which apart from the
boundary, did not enter into this opinion.
The Court, to-day, ordered, adjudged and
decreed that the decree of the District
Court of the United States of the North
ern District of California, in the case of
Fossoll, appellant against the United
States, is reversed and the cause remanded
to the said District Court with directions
to enter decree conforming to the survey
approved by the Surveyor General Decem-
Der 10th, 1880. Justice Clifford, who alone
dissented from this opinion, said the prop
erty was worth $20000,000. "
From letter of Attorney General Bates,
and the legal papers and other documents
accompanying 1t, which were commune
Gated to the Senate to-day, relative 10 the
bequest Of Commodore Levy of the home
stead of jefferson to the United States, 1t
appears the property includes Monticello,
100000 in real estate in New York, and
100000 in stocks. It's bequeathed in trust
for an agricultural school for the support
and education, of the children of officers of
the Navy. The case having been taken to
the New York Court of Appeals, Attorney
General Bates suspends any recommended
ton at present, but is disposed to look with
favor upon the assumption of such trust for
merely charitable, objects. uss, .si.5.E 81
The Secretary of the Treasury had deter
mined to issue to parties preferring them
lO-40 bonds, bearing interest from date of
subscription; thus avoiding the necessity of
paying accrued interest from March LIST, as
required under former instructions. The
arrangement extends to all of the agencies
for the sale of this loan. y

MUNd NEws.-If you want the latest
news and are not particular about its relia-
bility, read Cincinnati Abolition paper.
They have been trying to give all the Co
lumbus news, and here is a specimen from
the Commercial of the way it is done.
Speaking of the city election dispatch to
that paper says:
The Union ticket made large gains and
succeeded in turning the city council Last
year the copperheads had six majority.
City Marshal (copperhead), was elected BY
only one hundred and thirty. Last year
the same man succeeded by thirty.
There Is certainly more ne,cs in that par
agraph to the people Of Columbus than
they have seen in that paper for some time.
How there can be large Union gains when
''copperhead" is elected Marshal this year
by 100 majority, when the same man sue
ceeded last year by 30, is probably one Of
the mysteries Of the assignation depart
ment.

ONE of our Government officials just re-
turned from Peru, tells us that among the
first and most frequent inquiries made of
him about our public men was, whether he
knew or had ever seen the celebrated
American Chemist, DIR. j. G. AVER, of Low
ell. His remedies are found in every vii,
lage from the elevated slopes of the Andes
down to the coast and their remarkable
cures seem to attract even more attention
there than In this country. The sentiment
Of wonder at their effects, takes far deep
er hold on half civilized and superstitious
people than it does with us where the ra-
tionale Of medical problems Is so much
more generally understood. No other
American has made himself so Familiarity
known to the masses of the people in for
eign countries or excited in them SO lively
an interest in himself as the Doctor has by
his skillful application of chemical science
to the treatment Of disease.
That must be a dull man who does not
feel some pride Of country when he finds
among distant nations that he is already
known and welcome there, through the la
bcrs of our Statesmen, Merchants and
Scholars, whose renown has become nation
al property, and consequently in some meas
ure his own. Whether DIR. Ayers reme-
dies do actually cure more than others or
not, they have secured the reputation Of be-
ing a God-send to those afflicted with dis

% FEMALE SOLDIERS. Rs.-The idea of feminine
soldiers may have been good enough In
days gone by to constitute the foundation
for romance; but this "gruel war; has de-
veloped so many heroines Of that kind that
they have ceased to be regarded as novel;
ties. Yesterday dashing and good look
. ing young soldier applied to Gov. Brough
$1or transportation with an air Of deep dis
tress. The Governor penetrated the dis
guise, and propounded an inquiry as to the
sex OF the applicant, when the young lady
burst into tears and told her story. The
Governor sent her to Camp Chase, where
she received her discharge, and returning
to the State House she was given transpor-
tation to her home in Norwalk, wiser, If
not better girl. III hooD
Mr.. wetmore, the Ohio Soldiers Agent
at Washington, received an application for
transportation from Fannie Lee, who, dis
guised as boy, had enlisted in the 9th
Ohio cavalry at Cleveland, and served a
campaign on the Potomac. She announced
herself disguised with the life of trooper,
and changing her costume forone more be-
fitting her sex, returned home. The fair
sex have thus far proved failures as SOL
diers, and it is hoped the fact has become
well enough known to prevent such un-
pleasant discoveries In the future.

THE CITY.
DEAD LOCK.
Tho City Government Approaching n
Dead Lock--The Effcct Of Recent
Abolition Legislation.

{.
The General Assembly Of Ohio, which
recently took recess eor nine months, af-,
ter labcraous sessicaof about ninety days,
,awas, as has beca frequently observed, the
most remarkable assemblage Of wiseacres
that ever congregated In this capital. The
Legislative wisdom with which it illumin-
ated every intricate subject, the profound
penetration with which 1t solved the diff
cult problems brought before 1t, the vast
research and prodigious information evinc-
ed by its members, constitute an accumu-
lated mass of genius which history, SO often
appealed to- in vain, cannot overlook, and
which justly entities that body to the val
Iuable admiration and discriminating praise
recently bestowed upon it by the Ohio State
JOURNAL. The friends Of the current Gen
Aeral Assembly cannot have forgotten the
Instance, reported at the time 1t toccurr,d,
when the House devoted portions of many
days In an exhaustive effort to amend sec
tion Of the supervisors law, which section
had been repealed two years before. This
instance Of legislative wisdom and industry
is but an illustration of the way In which
business was done during the entire winter.
Two or three days before the adjourn
Iment a bill was introduced giving soldiers
in the field the right to vote at all munici-
palas well as general elections. This bill
was understood to be only one of the myr-
lad demagogical tricks Of the Abolitionists
to gain the confidence of the soldiers by
pretending to have all ultra degree of affec-
ton for them; and this being the character
of the measure 1t was rushed through both
branches, under a suspension of the consti-
tutional rule, In something less than forty
eight hours. In this act City Clerks are
especially prohibited from opening or
counting the votes polled at the city cleo
stions until after the expiration of twenty
days. Under previous laws the time was
much less, for the very good reason that
the terms of office of many city function
aries expire within week after the elec-
tion. The terms of nine City Councilmen
Zone half of the body in this city expired
with their last meeting, and the City Clerk
informs us that under this law no certif-
Gates of election can be issued to members
of the Council until after the vote
is counted and the abstract made. So
that the functions of the legislative branch
of the city government at least,
are suspended for twenty days, because
there is not legal quorum of the Council.
In view of the important business which is
always before the Council at this season OF
the ycar-to say nothing of what might be
the result of this state of affairs under GER
tain circumstances-the legislative wisdom,
or stupidity, which produced this serious
difficulty, is the subject of considerable
comment. EIsra
We expected to publish an official abstract
of the votes polled at the recent election in
this impression, but under existing enact
ments we are unable to furnish our readers
with the anticipated information.
