The PoLITcAL SITUATION" Nidette,"
Washington correspondent Of the Sacramento
Union, under date Of December 22d says !:
"There is nothing to discourage, but much TO
encourage the friends of freedom and OF pro-
gress As Senator Wilson remarked in the
Senate yesterday afternoon, the President has
made no issue with Congress, and Congress
has made DO issue with him. The majorites
in Congress will give The President manly
and earnest support, and if they enact the need
fol legislation to secure the liberties of all men,
that legislation will receive the approval of
the Executive. Neither is the Democratic
party TO come into power just yet, either
through the agency of Andrew johnson, or
through the agency of any one else. A party
that has allied itself with rebellion is not likely
now or hereafter to control the regenerated
Government of the United States. 1t needs
reconstruction and reorganization quite as
much as do The rebel States, and it must have
reconstruction and reorganization before it can
govern this now free country through any body S
agency"

"NEuTRALIrY.'-The neutrality of the
United States in Mexican affairs has received
q shock on the Rio Grande which all General
Sheridan's skill and watchfuluess may not be
able to prevent operating as the signal for q
conflict with Maximilian's Frenchmen. Late
news, from both Imperial aud Liberal sources,
is to the effect that Bagdad, station for
French mensof-war, south of Ma,amoras, and
its garrison of lis men, were recently captured
by o detachment Of 500 men, under Colonel
Reed, from the American side of the Rio
Grande. Subsequently, an attempt was made
to capture the gunboat Antonio, but she
escaped. 1t is stated that an Imperial force
started from Matamoras to endeavor to recover
Bagdad. Sheridan disavows the raid, and
says his subordinates are instructed to maintain
"strict neutrality" In view of the meaning
OF the word since England adopted a policy
OF "strict neutrality" towards the United States
and the rebels, would it not be we'll to find a
new word expressive of "hands off," or else
boldly declare that the United States are
independent in all things aud neutral in
nothing"s Anything but the English 'strct
neutrality dodge-that's played out.

In Washington, January 18th, Justice Stephen
j. Field, Of the United States Supreme Court,
received through the mail from San Francisco,
a package, which, on stripping off the wrapper,
proved to be a small box. A peculiarity in its
appearance attracted attention and, in the
presence of Judge Lake, Judge Field opened
the lid of the case about one eighth of an inch,
when be discovered tba, it appeared to be held
by a wire. Under the impression that it might
be torpedo, it was taken out of the room and
burst open by being thrown against stone
pillar. The case was then discovered to be a
powerful torpedo, filed with mimic and pistol
bullets AID powder, and was doubtless so
arranged at to explode by the friction
of opening. Pasted to one of the fragments
of the box was folnd printed newspaper
paragraph relating to the decision of Judge
Field, rendered October 81, 1864, in the

STARTLING 'FIGUREs.-The total number
of men who received, respectively, S4OO, $500
or S100 bounty, during the war, as appears
from official statements, was l,730, $40, and
the bounty, in the aggregate, amounted to
1901 100000. The total enlistments during
the war were 2,46l 900 men, OF whom 73l 900
received no bounty. In answer to inquiry By
Schenck, Chairman Of the Military Committee,
respecting the proposed law equalizpg bounties
to all soldiers who served during the war to
suppress the rebellion, the Paymaster General
says that, if it is required to pay each soldier,
or his representative, enough to bring up his
bounty to S400 The largest sum paid). it will
require $63S,00O000. He adds that the sum
estimated to accomplish the end proposed by
the law, even if reduced by half gives an
amount of money sufficiently enormous and
startling TO awaken grave considerations as to
the expediency of the measure, if it can be
considered at all practicable, at present, With
out entailing financial ruin. In further argu.
ment against the proposed measure, the Paw
master says the actual soldier would derive
little or no benefit from it, as speculatiug
adventurers all over the land, have been LAYING
up soldiers discharges in anticipation of Just
such legislation, and are now, doubtless, pressing
its consummation and that these large bounty
allowances. in spite Of the most careful vigilance
AID scouting, have led to frauds incalculable.
