GEN. GRANT AND THE PREsIpENT.-
The special Washington correspond
ent of the Chicago Times has the
following in reference to the relations
between the President and General
Grant:
A writer in the Chicago Tlb,aae,
after taking it for granted that the
coup d'etdt will be attempted, consoles
himself with the belief that General
Grant will be found Oh the side of
Congress and against the President.
He is very much mistaken. General
Grant, always wisely reticent on po-
iitlcal subjects, is more reticent than
ever just now; but he has said enough
within two weeks to convince all who
heard him that he is the fast and firm
friend and adviser of the President,
and that his only complaint on this
score is that the President ''has not
gone far enough" The radicals have
made desperate efforts to convert the
Lieutenant-General, but they have
not succeeded.
Washburne has pledged to him the
next Presidency, though it was diff
cult to find ont by whom he was an-
thorized to do SO; but it has had no
effect. General Grant has done too
much for the cause of the Union to
be alienated by party of Northern
disunionists from the sympathy with
man who is honestly and sincerely
endeavoring to give to the country
the fruits of the victories of Gettys-
burg, Nicksburg and Richmond
repeat that am very confident
the President has never entertained
the idea of using force to interrupt
the revolutionary proceedings of the
thirty-ninth Congress, but they are
greatly mistaken who believe that
General Grant either sides with Con-
gress or is all Indifferent spectator of
the exciting scenes now being enacted
here. He and oil his staff are to-day
the warmest friends that Andrew
Johnson has got in the United States,
and nothing has been done 80 far by
the President, nor in all likelihood
will be done in the future, that has
not and will not meet the hearty APP
proval Of the Lieutenant General.

The Proclamation Explained.


It seems that conflict of opinion
: in regard to the affairs of the Freed
mems Bureau has occurred in Geor-
gia. In response to telegram sent
to Washington, the following was re-
ceived from the War Department.:
WAR DEPARTMENT.,
Washington, d. c., April 9, 1866.
Breoet Ma. Gen. j. N. Brannan, Al
gustd, Ga:
The Assistant Commissioner Bu-
reau Refugees, Freedmen, &C., for
the State OF Georgia, having inquired
whether the Presidents proclamation
removes martial law, and stated that
the department commander does not
feel authorized to arrest parties who
have committed outrages on freed
people or Union refugees, the Secre-
tary of War, with the approval Of
the President, directs me to inform
you that the Presidents proclamation
does not remove martial law or ope-
rate In any way upon the Freedmen s
Bureau in the exercise of its legiti-
mate jurisdiction. 1t is not expe-
dent, however, to resort to military
tribunals in any case where Justice
can be attained through the medium
of civil authority.
(Signed,)
E. d. TOWNSEND, A. A. Il.
This may only referto cases coming
within the scope of the jurisdiction
of the Freedmen's Bureau. If of
general application, it is difficult to
reconcile it with the terms of the Presi-
dents proclamation, and is at vari-
rance with the recent decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
which released three men in Indiana,
after having been sentenced by u
military commission. The proclama-
ton seemed, also, to have governed
the military commission already no.
tieed in our paper, while in Raleigh,
N. c., the commission over-ruled the
plea put in against it's jurisdiction.
Things seem to be in muddle Just
now, but time will bring an explana-
tion.

The Gleaner--A Home journal.


We issue this morning the first
regular number of the largest weekly
paper in the Southern States, and
containing more reading matter than
any other journal in the South, in
the e:shape of editorials, news, htera-
ture, tales, sketches and poetry, mar
kets and agricultural information,
embraced in forty-eigAt columns Of
solid reading osa,ser-no advertise
ments being published in THE
GnEANER. .
The design is, Ito make this large
sheet what its name indicates, A Home
Coa1PAN1oN, adapted to the tastes and
wants of every class of readers. 1t is
gotten out at heavy expense, but the
proprietor looks with confidence to
his remuneration in a widely-extended
subscription list. Especially ought
he to obtain this, as there is no in
come to support this issue from ad-
vertising. He has struggled manfully
against all the obstacles he had to
contend With, until he has attained
that success which enables him to put
forth to the community three as good
papers-daily, tri-weekly and week
ty-as ever was published in the
Capital of the State, and equal in all
respects to any papers of their class
in the South.
He does not say this in any boast
full spirit, but, believing that he can
confidently challenge comparison with
any other journal, he claims for The
CLEANER a full share of support.
And, to assist in attaining this object,
he requests those who may read this
article to commend The CLEANER to
their friends and acquaintances
throughout the, country districts OF
the State. He gives the assurance
that the paper will maintain a charac-
ter worthy of the support of the read
ing public, and returning to its sub
scribers ample compensation for their
subscription money. If any doubt
this, let them send for sample copy,
and we are confident they will sub
scribe at once. We enter upon the
publication of this family journal
with high hopes of success, which we
will use every exertion to deserve

AN ENGLISH FUGITIVE ARRESTED
AND SRNr BACK. The new steamship
City Of Paris, which arrived on the
I'd instant, brought from Liverpool
among her passengers, Benjamin
Howard Wilkins, a native of Eng
land, about thirty-eight years Of age.
Prior to the arrival of the steamship,
the police authorities in New York
had received information that Wilkins
was a confidentia clerk in bank at
Worcester, England, and had COM
mitted a series of forgeries, by which
he had gained $25, 600, and that he
had endeavored to escape by taking
passage for America.
Detective Farley. of the Metropoli-
tan force, was detailed by Capt.
Young to work up the case and effect
the arrest of the alleged defaulter and
forger. and he at once instituted
inquiries. Learning by an exami-
nation of the list of passengers on
the City of Paris that Wilkins had
arrived in New York, the detective
had no difficulty in tracing him to
quiet boarding house i'll Brooklyn,
and on proceeding thither expert
eneed no difficulty in securing his
prisoner. On being arrested, Wilkins
confessed to having comMitted the
forgeries with which he was charged,
and soon after he was handed over to
Detective Whitehousc, of the London
force, who had arrived in pursuit of
the prisoner. The transfer was made
III accordance with the provision of
the Extradition Treaty.
Wilkins made no opposition to
being sent back to England for trial,
and he was placed on board the steam
ship Australasian by the London de-
tective, and he is now on his way to
Great Britain to await his trial for
forgery and defalcation, the steamer
having sailed yesterday afternoon
from her dock in Jersey City.
As soon MS lie was comfortably
doniciled in Brooklyn, Wilkins wrote
to his wife and family, requesting
them to come on and join him, and
it is supposed that before he ar
rives at Liverpool, his wife and chill
dren will have set sail for this country.
Wilkins evidently had no suspicion
that he had been SO successfully
traced, and that he was on the eve of
being arrested. Detective Farley
deserves credit for the successful man
ner in which he worked up the case.

DEATH WHILE UNDER THE INrLU-
RSCE OF CHLoRoFoRM Mrs. Latetia
S. Lister, wife Of Thomas S. Lister,
whose residence is on Fourth street,
above German, went, in company
with female acquaintance, yester-
day afternoon, to the rooms OF Mr..
Slack, dentist, to have teeth extract
ed. Being delicate, and fearful that
she would suffer much from the
operation, she requested Mr. Slack to
administer chloroform, which he did
in quantity, as lie thought, suited
to the physical condition of the lady.
He was proceeding to extract the
teeth when the patient was observed
to be in spasms. An effort was at
once made to restore her to conscious
ness, but though all proper means
were used, it was unsuccessful, and
she died IN few minutes.

he attempted to escape, when the soldier

when, coming up to his prisoner, he asked

inflicted bayonet wound, causing his
