the Senate yesterday, he refers to the accom-
pauyiDg account OF General Grants obseryn-

to the happy results Of his reconstruction pol
icy. But General Grant, while recording the
expressions of good intentions made to him
by whites during his flying tour, makes
strong argument against the withdrawal Of
the military forces now distributed through
the rebel Stntea- Tho Lieutenant General,
then, according to his own showing, Is not SO
entirely satisfied with the loyalty Of the peo-

President and tho Secretary Of State, who arc
apparently IN great hurry TO let the recon-

deem best, by allowing The State governments
organized b., them TO 60 into operation.
That the Presidents arguments In deinonstra-

omits all reference to the conclusions Of Gen.

=. Tie city Of Berlin has grown more rapidly.
within the past ten years than any other
capital in Europs, aud its advancement In
material prosperity continues to- be almost
without precedent In the Old World. In
point Of animation and cxuberant thrift, It
more nearly resembles an American city than
sober metropolis of the sober German na-
tiop.- With the growth of Berlin her trade
with this country has increased immcnae1y,
rendering the presence and services Of a
United States Consul necessary almost every
dnr In the year. The public are aware TINT
this important position haa been rendered to
