WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-Attorney Gen.
eral Speed, in asking for an appropria.
ton for contingent expenses, says that
the carpets and furniture of his office
have been subject to largely increased
amount of wear and tear, from the large
number applicants for PARDON, who
from day to day., peopled the office, so
that much of the carpeting is tattered
and worn into shreads, and new carpet
ing is needed now more than ever.
An order has been issued from the
War Department, revoking one hereto
fore issued on the same subject, provid-
ing that military and division command
ers will reduce the employees in the sew
eral camps and stats of the army, in
their respective commands, to the lowest
possible number, at all forts, stations,
and places where troops are on duty, in
sufficient numbers to take the places of
civilians, without injuriously inj1ring
the effectiveness of the troops for mill
tary duty required of them. The civil
ians, except clerks, will be discharged,
and extra-duty men substituted for them.
When civilians are retained, the prefer
ence will be given to persons who have
been honorobly discharged from militia.

abled by wounds will be first preferred
All civilians who have not been in the
military service, will be discharged as fas
as they can be replaced by those whom

calls the attention of custom officers and

says that the importation not only OF
beeves but of sheep, horses and mules
is entirely prohibited. Custom House
officers and foreign agents are requested
to explain the objects of this act to all
concerned.
Chief Justice Chase in conversation
remarked that whenever he found the
case of the United States against JEFF
Davis on the docket he should proceed
to try, but that nder no circumstances
will he try it in Virginia while the State
is occupied by the military.
There seems to be entire union among
members of Congress In regard to the

The Worlds Washington special says
when Secretary McCulloch was in New
York, the merchants and business men
generally urge upon him the propriety
of making the appointment of Collector
of New York at once. Since his return,
after conferring with the President, il
has been decided to postpone the mat
ter for few weeks. The Secretary has
notified Mr.. Van Dyke, the Assistant
Treasurer of New York, who is support
ed for the collectorship, that he could
not dispense with his services as Treas.

New YORK, Dec. 29-The Posts
Washington special says it is rumored
that the French and United States gov

derstanding in relation to Mexican af-
fairs, and that the Emperor Napoleon
has agreed to withdraw the French
troops from Mexico, and that our Gov

Congressman hammond.

We do not wish that anything said BY
us yesterday should be construed into
disrespect to Mr.. Raymond, or that we
meant to insinuate any doubt of his
ability His was an able as well as al
elaborate" speech. We merely de-
sgred to say, that when one has no solid
ground to stand on, it is an impossibility
to bear up heavily to push an opponent
to the wall, no matter how strong the
individual may be.
It may as well be added here that a
War Department cannot be indicted,
on rather il is not considered expedient
to indict il, collectively, and yet we
should certainly not say that the rebel
War Department had not been guilty of
treason; and if each individual eompos-
ing it were tried and found guilty, it
surely would not be improper to say
the Department had been convicted and
sns been guilty of treason. To contend
erwise is to quibble, it seems to us,
d to run politics, as was the habit and
successful policy of the Southern
Statesmen of old, into metaphy
nonsense.
If we had been aware that the speech
in question was "the gentleman from
New York's" maiden effort in the House
we should not have written in appa-
rently SO disrespectful terms D.
