General Grants Return-His views
Of Southern Affairs The New
G6ork Bo"nsy fra1ds-Letter of
south Carolina.
NEW YORK, December l8.-The Herald
w Washington special says: General Grant had
an interview with the President yesterday
and communicated TO him the result of bis Oh.
servation during his recent trip through Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Georgia. He was everywhere respectfully re.
ceived by all. The majority of the negroes in
those states are in comparative idleness, and
nearly all refuse 10 renew contracts until after
Christmas, believing a general division is TO
take place. AT that time the southern men of
influence were outspoken in refusing TO CON-
ply 70 any demand that the President might
consider necessary for their restoration
Gen. Grant believes the people Of the South
almost unanimously desire speedy readmission
to their old position in the Union, and that
their professions OF future loyalty and good be-
havior is honest.

prise is manifested here at the receipt Of a let
ter from Governor PierpOnt, of Virginia, adj
dressed to the President Of the Senate and the
Speaker OF the House, inclOsing a copy of the
act passed by the General Assembly of Virgil
MIA, repeating the assent heretofore given TO
the division of the State by the formation of
the State of West Virginia. The letter was
printed and laid upon the desks Of the men,
bers to-day and attracted much comment.
The Herdlfs Richmond correspondent SAYS
everything is quiet in General Terry's Depart
ment.
An order from Quartermaster General Meigs
has been received here ordering the immediate
discharge of employees who were in any way
connected with the rebel service.
The same correspondent SAYS new legal
question, growing out Of the emancipation of
the negro, has been raised in South Carolina
Ii is, whether debts incurred for slaves pur-
chased before the Proclamation took effect are
now collectable.
Many Of the people of the Palmetto State are
deeply interested in this matter, being still i'm
arrears in old purchases from Virginia slave
dealers.
The subject has been brought TO the atten-
ton of the Legislature, which, il is expected,
will make provision for partially dscharging
their claims.

"Winn Machine Shop" In Union street, which

mortgage; that neither the policy nor the
application was intended to cover any other
interest than the title of q mortgage, and the
plaintiffs having no such title at the time OF
the loss, the defendants are not bound to pay
them the value OF the property as claimed;
that the plaintiffs refused to assign to the de-
PENDANTS the debts originally secured by the
mortgage Of the property destroyed, upon pay
ment of the amount insured thereon.
The case was argued by Mr.. Hayes for the
defendants, and Mr.. Butler for plaintiffs. It

tary of War, show that Col. Wolford of KY, was
arrested In compliance with telegram from
Lieut.. Gen. Grant, for making speeches, charg-
ed of an insurrectionary character, and dis
couraging enlistments. Subsequently he
pledged himself to refrain from opposition to
the government, and was therefore released.
The President to day, sent to the Senate en-
closing communication from Gen. Mcdowell,
relative to the recent attempt to send arms
and munitions of war out of the Department
of the Pacific to Mexico under date OF August
last. He apprises the government of the

supplies for the French feet at Acapulco.

original place of shipment. The collector Of
the port refused to allow their clearance under

clearance on the ground of aid to the Next
can republic against monarchy. The clearance
was not allowed.
