From the Frankfort Commonwealth, April 4.
Gov. Bramlette's Visit TO Washington.

1t is generally known that Governor
Bramlette, accompanied by two other
gentlemen of this State, on the 22d OF
March, left this city for Washington,
for the purpose of visiting President
Lincoln, and consulting with him and
the Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton in
reference TO matters of vital interest
and Importance to the people of Ken
lucky
The parties returned to Kentucky on
the evening of the lst Of April, and it
affords US great pleasure to be able to
inform our readers that on Saturday
evening last we heard Gov. Bramlette
state that he was gratifed at the visit,
and with its results; that he had been re-
ceived with great eordiality by Presi-
dent Lincoln and Secretary Stanton;
that he had frankly and fully present
ed to the President the objects of his
visit and as frankly explained his
views and desires; that he was listened
to with marked attention until he was
through, and was then assured that he
had not asked for any thing but what
was right and just, and that, SO far as
it was practicable and eonformable, to
the law, there would be a full com
pliance with his wishes
Secretary Stanton expressed himself
to the same purpose And when the
Governor left Washington it was said
that orders had already been issued to
carry into effect the conclusions of. the
President and Secretary, as agreed upon
between the parties.
We could be more full and particular
as to the objects and results Of this
visit of Governor BrSmlette; but as the
people will be, in a few days, officially
put in possession of all the facts, it is
not necessary.

A correspondent Of the New York

expedition, if it continues as successful
as it began, will be of Immense benefit
to the permanent peace Of our sister
Stale inthe South. General Steele and
the Union men Of Arkansas have been
fearful from the FIRST that Dick Taylor,
Kirby Smith and Sterling Price would
unite their scattered forces and com
mence an offensive campaign. In view
Of the political redemption of Arkansas,
and the small military force in the
State, this apprehension caused some
uneasiness; but the success Of the Red
river expedition viii settle this matter
eonclusiyely. The prospect for retain
ing a permanent grasp upon arkansas
has improved fifty per cent. within a
fortnight The late election in that
State and the success of free-state prin-
ciples has unveiled a strength of Union
sentiment rather unexpected The

Andrew Jackson Davis (the seer) in
the Herald Of Progress of this week
makes the following important Of true)
announcement:
The most important intelligence re-
ceived recently is to the effect that. after

hand-to-hand encounters, the war will
be over and peace declared under the
stars and stripes. Stonewall jackson

anteed to FIVE Southern States. "But-
Ter and bombshells" is a better cry for
sbolitionism than Fremont and free
dom Force and pluck, not men and
propositions, are in demand General
Butler and jeff Davis are the best
practical sbolitionists. Others are
takers and hangers on.
The seer tells some truths in the
above, and we hope his predictions will
come true. De is doubtless right about
the punishment Of France, unless that
government backs out of the Mexican
matter; gold viii doubtless fail in May
or July, or at some other time; govern

GREENBACKS.

We noticed, yesterday, the fact that COM
mittee had been appointed by the stock-bro-
kers Of Virginia to report some plan of ac-
ton upon the subject Of the introduction Of
greenbacks into the business transactions Of
the Territory. We perceive that the COM
mittee have gone to work in earnest, and will
probably issue series Of resolutions and an
address within a day or two. The movement
meets with considerable favor among busi-
ness men, but how the masses Of the people
viii receive the proposition, remains to be
seen. The Virginia Union and Pi,ae both
favor the movement. The prostration of bust
ness affairs consequent upon the unparal-
leled scarcity Of coin, demands some remedy,
Whether the introduction of Legal Tender
notes into general circulation will meet the
wants of the community, is a question that
we shall perhaps be wiser upon when We re-
ceive and study the report of the committee,

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.-The appeal of

manslaughter, for the killing Of Horace
Smith last fall has been dismissed by the
Supreme Court. The following is the deci-
sion Of the Court
The People, Respondents, VS. +. W. II. John.
son, Appellant.-The appellant in this cause was
indicted by the Grand Jury of Storey County,
for murder in the second degree, for the killing of
Horace Smith on the 2sth day of October, 1868
and the trial was convicted of the crime of
manslauShter.
This appeal is brought for error alleged to have
been committed by the court below, III the adj
mission of irrelev ant testimony which was evil
IDENTIFY offered for the purpose of proving malice
on the part Of the defendant.
The jury having found verdict of manSlaugh.
ter, which ignores malice, could not have given
weight to the testimony. Though portion of
the evidence might be regarded as irrelevant, iii
did the appellant no harm, and was disregarded
by the jury, It affords no ground for reversal of
the judgment.
