There will most probably be an entire overhaul

In the large custom-housue great changes will
be made, in men and in measures also in the
civil officers of the navy department. These are
positions which require capacity as well as poll

In conclusion, then, the sum and substance oil

Congressman Harris, of Md, tried az
Washington for disloyal practices, was SEN
fenced to imprisonment for three years ana
the forfeiture of all civil rights. The eVl-
dence against him showed that two persons
came to his house, q long time ago, ana re-
presented themselves as released rebel pris-
oners. who had 10 money and no means OF
getting anything to eat. Harris gave them
a dollar each, and sent them away. IL was
proved that they were escaped not released
prisoners, and hence the sentence. Did any
body suppose military court would tail to
convict everybody brought before itY we
reckon not-especially after Judge Advocate
General Holt announced that courts were
organized to conpict people," 1t was once
thought that courts were organized to fairly
and impartially try peOpie-but Holt says
they are organized to concict.
President johnson approved the hnding o
the court. but RENTED the sentence-so Mr.
Harris is tree again.
President johnson will not permit an
more military trials of civilians.

WASHINGTON'S GRAVE.
From the Letter OF an Army Correspor emit.


Gen. Logan suggested, as the army neared
its destination, that the troops might be
marched, perhaps with satisfaction to them
selves, past the tomb of Washington. The
departure from the direct road would cost the
men about eight miles of extra marching, but
the suggestion was not more than offered than
it was accepted. The day last Friday was
damp, drizzly day, and the roads were hea
w; notwithstanding all this. the men cheer
fully undertook the extra labor and Mount
Vernon received as tribute offerings to the
memory of Americas greatest hero, the rev.
erence of twenty thousand of Americas choi-
cess hero patriots. TWAS a solemn but mag
nifcent pageant. Quietly, reverently moved
the tried and trusted column. Scared and
faded by four years of bloody wrestling, wea
ried with the days march, and ragged and
hardy, though cheerful, these adoripg thous-
ands threaded the lanes and walks of the old
homestead of Washington, as orderly and
slightly as though the eye Of him they came
TO offer homage to were constantly upon
them. and as though the dust they trod on
were ballowed by the proximity of his bones.
The column marched through the tomb,
concentrated, and passed the old residenc
back into the main road. The orders were
from w ashington to allow no troops within
the grounds, but the superintendent and man

President johnson and his Policy.

Washington Correspondence of the n. Y. Ex-
press
Having conversed freely with those who are
somewhat intimate with the president, am ena.
bed to say that it Is quite certain that many
changes will be made in high positions, and An
drew johnson will be the president, and such
will have his personal and political friends about
him. 1t is not to be taken for granted that Mr..
Iincolns personal or party friends or preferences
for high official station, -essarily those of
Mr.. johnson. Not at all. The president of the
United States has, fortunately or unfortunately,
a large amount of patronage to dispense, and in
giving this out he has perfect right to remem-
Der his friends, and especially in this case those
who stood by him, personally, in tue dark days
of the last four years; and you may be sure An
drew johnson will do it.
There will be notable exceptions, especially
where the present incumbent il fouhd to possess
the qualifications peculiarly necessary for his po-
sition In this connection it is presumed that
Secretary Seward and Secretary McCulloch will
| remain in the cabinet. Ii il argued by the friends
of the president land very properly that it will
do no harm to infuse little more life and health

NEAR WASHINGTON, d. C., May %. 1865.
Col. DANFoRTH Dear SIR Il wrote you
from Goldsboro, n c., giving an account of
our morch through the Caroinas. We left
there on the 10th ult.-and entered Raleigh
on the 18th ult, the rebel army falling back
towards Greensboro. We lay at this place
until the 2Sth ult. on account of the truce
entered into by Gems. Sherman and Johnston
which terminated In the surrender of the
rebel army We then marched homeward
arriving 10 Petersburg, Va, ON the 7th inst.
passing through Richmond on the 18th inst,
thence to Hanover c. Ii Bowling Green,

found much to interest US, arriving at Al

YOU have had full accounts. 1t was n very
grand afair-Pennsylvania Avenue from the

Gallant Sherman rode at the head of his
ermv and was decidedly the hero of the day,
notwithstanding the efforts made by some to
min bim.-but he is able to take care of
himself, his pen is as mighty as his sword and
in due time he will probably attend to these
gentlemen who are so brave when all danger
e passed He has ever the confidence Of the
army and they all felt indignant when they
saw the attacks made upon him by the
northern press--even charging him with
treachery--a man who has fought more bat
ties than any general in the service, and sue
cessfully too. The papers of the west.
whose sons he has so often led to
victory, have been slow to publish
such things.

ON Pinery Branch and all expect soon to be
mustered out. Our company will 90 out as
