GENERAL GRANTS MovEMENTs-We learn
from Washington that General Grant has no
intention at present of visit to the Rio
Grande, and that he is not likely to leave
Washington until Congressional action has been
had on military affairs, unless sooner taken
away by unforeseen contingencies In other
words, General Grant awaits authority from
Congress, or some urgent events on the Mexi-
can border, to take him on journey in that
direction. That he expects to be called is very
likely; that he is ready to leave on short no.
tce we have tbe satisfaction to know from his
regent declarations

CoNGREss-The two houses Of Congress re-
assemble to-day, and some interesting proceed
ings, in the shape of resolutions, &C., may be
expected in both. The House has passed .
joint resolution to adjourn over from Wednes-
day till the 9th Of January, SO as to give the
members the privilege Of enjoying without
stint Christmas, New Years and the 9Th Of
January among their holidays. This resolu-
ton will probably be concurred in by the
Senate to-day, and, as the salaries Of Congress-
men are the same-three thousand year
recess or no recess, long or short session, there
can be no objection to the proposed recess.
Indeed, If it were to be heightened, say to the
LIST Of May next it would be good thing, in
giving to the President q fair opportunity to
work up his programme Of reconstruction with
out interruption. We call upon the Hon. Mr..
Raymond, who processes TO support the admin
istration, to suggest TO Senator Sumner the
expedency Of some such amendment Of the
House resolution.

The DYING STRUGGLES OF SLAVERY IN ZEN
TUcxY.--Slavery in Kentucky dies hard. In
the Senate Of that State, on the 18th instant
there were some very curious proceedings, dis
closing the predominant influence of the pro-
slavery spirit, specimen of which will suffice
for the present. Mr.. Benton offered a rcsolu-
ton looking to the repeal Of all laws in rela-
ton TO slavery. Mr.. Helm denied the validity
Of the adoption of the constitutional amend
ment by Southern States under compulsion.
Even II their votes should be counted, the thing
would not be binding on Kentucky. Her right
10 slavery was a reserved right, which could
not be infringed upon. Mr.. Cochran, of Shelby,
however, took the rag OF the bush. He de-
MED the power Of amending the constitution
so as to destroy slavery. Slavery was an in
herent State right above the constitution. If
every State in the Union were to ratify the
amendment, it still would not be binding upon
Kentucky. And the man who favored this
measure was as much rebel as JEFF. Davis.
Abraham Lincoln and Andrew johnson were
as much, if not more, traitors to the gov
eminent as JEFF. Davis Gas is the word in the
speech). The country was nothing more nor
less than an empire, with President johnson as
its dictator When the President used the army
to destroy slavery he was in open rebellion
against the government He hoped the reso-
luton would be voted down." and It was voted
down-yeas Is, nays lon the question Of its
adoption.
From this evidence, we guess that the Ken
lucky Legislature is not yet prepared for q
ratification Of the constitutional amendment ;
but that her foolish pro-slavery managing poll
tcians will persist in their course Of folly until
they make the State too hot to hold them.
Kentucky, during the war, was heavy drag
upon the North, and now since the return Of
peace she is making herself dead weight
upon tbe shoulders Of the South. With Viii

cannot admit the propriety Of this public refer
ence to them upon an occasion when the donors
are expected to be as polished as the plate,
and to play their parts as nicely. To take such
an opportunity to remind Oily Cannon of his
pecuniary affairs, and OF the suits for libel
which he has been obliged to bring TO vindi-
cate the reputation of an establishment which
ought not to need vindication, and Of other
little matters of this sort, seems to us the very
refinement of cruelty. There is q certain saw
age humor about the joke but It does little
credit to the heads and hearts Of those who
concocted It and made Oily Cannon and his
friends their victims.
Now that the opera season is over, and Oily
Gammons troupe have gone away, we call the
attention of the presentation committee 10
another Snowman, even more worthy Of their
favors. The only reason they gave for COM
plimenting Oily Cannon was that he had
been combating his difficulties for twenty
years but the Joyce Heth in breeches OF the
Museum has been engaged in the same pug
nacious exercises for much longer period
the time being kept by Jerome's clocks. Thirty
years ago, in the HERALD OF December Il,
1885, appeared an advertisement headed
"Joyce Heth," and informing the public that
"this lively and interesting relic Of antiquity,
who has attained the wonderful age OF one
hundred and sixty-one years, and Is In full
possession of all her senses, has returned to
her old quarters, No. TX Bowery, where she
will remain during the holidays. No money
will be received from any person who is not
entirely satisfied with the exhibition, and con-
vinced beyond doubt that she was the nurse
of General Washington and is as old as repre-
sented., From that day to this our Joyce
Heth in breeches has deluded the public with
similar exhibitions inviting them to witness
the Feejee mermaid the wooly horse, the what
is It? and the Circassian girls, with an
aenergy" and "persevering devotion" fully
equal to Oily Gammons, and with much more
.successful results" Why, then, should he
not be honored with vote Of thanks and a
