Secretary stanton.

The autocrat of the War Office isjust now
being rather harshly used in the house of
his friends. The Cincinnati Commercials
Washington correspondent speaks of the
matter in this style. The statements in
the article quoted below, if true, proves
all that has ever been said Of the iniquity
of arbitrary arrests. We want our Re-
publican friends to give these items a care
full and honest perusal: a-
The debate in the House the other day
was but q comparatively feeble index OF
the feeling among Congressman against
the dictatorial gentleman who DULLES and
brow beats the country through the War
Office. Men will think great deal, and
say great deal, in private against Cab
met Minister before they will rise in their
seats in Congress and denounce him in
their official capacities. And this is es-
peciaily true in the case of Mr.. Stanton.
When such men as Kasson, Garfield and
Schenck, accuse an officer of the Govern
ment of misdeeds they are more apt to
leave unsaid q great deal that might be
said to his detriment than to say any thing
of the full truth of which they are not per-
fectly cognizant.
1t will not do to say that this was all
Copperhesd bowling, for there was only
one Copperhead who took part in the dis
cussion, and he drew it even more mildly
than the Union men who spoke on the
occasion. The Military Committee is now
busily engaged in taking testimony on the
subject OF arbitrary arrests and imprison-
ments in the Old Capitol, and when thew
finish this task, it is to be hoped they will
make the record public. If they do, it
will be shown that hundreds of men have
been pat into the vilest dungeons on earth
for no other offence than that of mourning
the "royal" disp!easure of man who has
neither legislative nor executive authority
to arrest anybody. The deposition of a
lady to the effect that her husband had
been chained to the floor in the Old Capt.
tol for eight months, and that neither be.
nor she knew why he was arrested, was
taken the other day.
Stanton labors under the wrong impress
sion as to the amount of power and au-
thority he is at liberty to exercise. He
thinks that, instead of mere semi-oficial
employee Of the President, he is several

There is no truth more firmly estab-
lished among medical men, than that dis
ease follows fashion as much as bonnets
do. When thin shoes prevail, consump-
ton is the prevailing epidemic with e.
males in every fashionable community in
the country. When low-necked dresses
are in the ascendant, sore throat and ouin-
sy are the raging maladies. When "bus-

Grant and Lee on the Capture of
Richmond

The London Times of the 9th ultimO,
has an interesting letter from its Rich
mond correspondent under date of Dec.
9Th. 1t contains some account of Con
versation that had just occurred, in which
the interlocutors were Lieut.. Gen. GRANT
and q ''foreign gentleman in intimate re-
lation with the Confederate government"
who had just come to Richmond from the
North. This foreign Confederate, it seems,
described General GRANT as a gentleman
of eminent courtesy, tranquil and dignifed
in manner, free from buster, and studi-
ously conciliating in language. General
GRANT, we are told, commenced the con.
versation by praising the abilities of DAVIS
and LEE, and then proceeded to give his
views of the prospect of capturing Rich
mond. The correspondent writes that
He Grant proceeded next to make the
startling assertion that Richmond is doomed
city, and that Mr.. Davis and Gen. Lee are well
aware of the fact. He pointed out with em-
phasis, that the Federal army is constantly ad.
vancing step, and that never. since the 18th
of June, when it crossed to the south side of
the James. has it made quarter of step back
ward. 1.-The end" he continued, must be
the fall of Richmond. How long 1t will be be-
fore the end comes it is impossible for me to
say. Gen. Lee knows the position of my army
to be impregnable on both sides of the river,
and he will attack on neither. l do not expect
the city TO be suddenly evacuated, but some
day. little by little, my guns will get within
Smelling distance Of the capital, and, from that
hour, 1t is merely q question of time. 1t is
probable that If, at this stage the resistance be
obstinate and prolonged, the whole city will he
burned to the ground. Anyhow, the eyacua
ton by Gen. Lees army is in the end newt.
able
Having thus been entertained with the
opinions of the Commander of the army
operating against Richmond, the same
writer next enterta:ns US with the views
on the same subject of the rebel Com
manders on the other side of the lines.
He says:
can assure Gen. Grant, that if he was in a
position to arrive at the undisguised opinion of
President Davis and Gen. Lee, he would come
to conclusion different from that which he
last week expressed, but which it is difficult to
believe that he sincerely entertains 1t is the
deliberate conviction, not only of the two EN-.
inent men in question, but also of eighteen
twentieths of the inhabitants of Richmond, and
of ninety-nine hundredths of the army which
defends it, that the city was never so safe since
the war commenced as at the present mo-
ment,

A recent article on the question of re-
pealing the prohibitory duty on imported
paper, makes the following remarks on
the great increase in the newspaper busi-
ness in New York: ''.5 llgiaai-, "a
The newspapers and other periodicals of our
country have increased immensely within the
last ten years, and most largely of all since the
beginning of the war. Ten years ago, the whole
amount Of business done by the wholesale news
agents did not probably exceed in amount
the sum of $750,O00 yearly. At prerent the
cash receipts of the American News Company,
in this city, for the sale of newspapers, maya
zines, books, and stationery, for the eleven
months ending with the 31st Of December last,
have reached the sum of $2.226, 1880. We
learn from the Office of that company that
probably forty millions of newspapers were
handled within that time by persons In the
employ of the company. of whom seventy
were constantly occupied in the getting them
in, charging, distributing and shipping them.
For whipping paper and twine with which to
pack this enormous mass, the company paid
twelve thousand dollars. 'p-1aj

THE PEACE MOVEMENT.
Further Rumors Concerning the Re-
bel Commissioners.

,CrY PoINr, Jan. 31st, via WAsHNaroN,
Feb. 1st-Y esterday a flag of truce ap-
peared on the line in front of Peterburgh
occupied by the 9th corps, and message
was sent in for permission to allow Vice
President Alex. Il. Stephens and Senator
r. N. 7. Hunter, Commissioners from the
Southern Confederacy, to pass through our
lines for the purpose of proceeding to
Washington, supposed to be for the pur-
pose of proposing terms of peace, or for a
conference on that subject with the Gov
eminent at Washington. Owing to some
misunderstanding they did not come
through our lines, but it is expected the
matter will be speedily arranged, and that
they will arrive to-day and be at once
conveyed to Washington by special boat.

ton to confer. with President Lincoln on
the subject of putting an end to the war
if possible. The circumstances under
which these gentlemen departed are un-
derstood to be as follows;
Mr.. Blair having sought an official and
confidential interview with President Da-
Wis, departed for Washington with assur-
ances that the President would be willing
at any time and without any obstacle Of
form to send agents or commissioners to
Washington to confer about terms of
peace, if informed in advance that said
commissioners would be received
On Mr.. Blair's second visit to Richmond
he brought the consent of Mr.. Lincoln to
receive and confer with any agents infor-
mally sent with the view of the restora
ton of peace. 'i - aa
The three gentlemen who left here yes
terday were thereupon selected by Davis.
They have gone without formal icreden-
tials, and merely as informal agents to see
whether it be possible to place confer.
renee for peace on any basis which may
serve for attaining so desirable results.
If possible, that success may attend
these efforts, but wisdom and prudence
demand that we indulge in no confident
expectations on the subject, and that we
relax not ono moment, energetic prepare
ton for the ensuing campaign. From the
choice made by the President, we may
rest assured that no means will be untried
to effect peace if it be possible to attain
it. But if eminent citizens selected for
the purpose, shall fail in the attempt, one
good result viii certainly have been reach
ed. All discordant counsels on this subject
will have become reconciled, and it will
no longer be in the power Of the tactious
or timid to persuade the people that peace
can be reached by any path other than
that opened for us by stout hearts and
stout hands.
