GEN. R. E. LEE.-Gen. r. E. Lee be-
haved with his usual modesty and good
sense in Washington and even the Radical
papers are forced to admit it. Some re-
ports are going the rounds Of the papers
to the effect that he was treated cayalierly
by the Reconstruction committee. We
happen to know, from reliable source,
that he was treated with the greatest re-
spect by all the committee, except Thad
Stevens and Fessenden, who did not speak
to him. The usual questions were put to
him and answered as it became Gen. Lee
to answer. A great number of persons of
all parties called on him and with the
above exceptions, he was treated with the
greatest respect.

WASHINGTON DSS' ~
The Alexandria (va.l Journal, in CIV
ing an account Of the riot there on
Christmas, says:
Whisky flowed in streams from many
restaurants, and from some it was dealt
out as literally to colored people as to
whites. /
Early in the morning it was observed
that all the young reconstructed men
were we'll armed. The riot commenced
at an early hour in the morning, and by
one O'Clock in the afternoon it had as
sumed such fearful proportions that the
MAYOR found it necessary to call upon
the military authorities to suppress IT,
Three companies Of Hancock's veterans
proceeded to arrest every one found in
rioting and disorderly conduct, many
nersons being seriously wounded.
It was found that between fifty ana
one hundred of the ringleaders of the
vsrious disturbances going on through
ont the city were mostly sent to slave
mems and compelled to remain there dur
ing the remainder of the day. Some OF
them were yesterday morning released,
Int the more guilty are still in confine-
ment.
/ II seems that the first reports were ex-
apeerated. as the Journal says some nifty
or one hundred were sadly beaten, ou'

the hope of recovery.

were holding party. A white man o.
