WASHINGTON Thursday Nov. 6, 1865
Gov. Swami of Maryland arrived here this evening
and had an interview with the President. No polt-
cal significance attaches to this visit which is rather
one of mutual cOngratulaton over the result Of the
election in Maryland and its restoration to COnserva-
tive rule The attendance at the White House this
week has greatly diminished from what it has been
heretofore. The near approach Of the session
of Congress and the fact that the elections
are over and the prescription policy has not
justified the expectations of its efficiency in conro
ing the political action of the people renders it inn
probable that there will be many additional removals
on account of want of accord with the views and
policy of the Administration, and this has to some ex
tent relieved the President of the personal pressure OF
applicants and their friends Beside this, the pressure
OF important public business has been such OF late as
to prevent the President from granting general
audience to all corners, as heretofore, anu many
have been obliged TO leave without the desired
interview after dancing attendance IN the ante-roOms
for several days. 1t is of little use at present Tor per
sons to visit Washington merely to see the President
unless assured beforehand that they will be received
A delegation OF about twenty Western Conserva-
tives many Of whom were from Ohio learning OF the
rival of Gov. Swami from Baltimore, called on him
AT Willards Hotel this evening and rendered their con-
ordinations upon the peace and Quietness which pre-
vailed Baltimore during the recent election and upon
the result of that election in favor of the Conservative
cause Messrs. Sherlock and Strickland OF Ohio beng
the principal spOkeSmeu. Gov. Swami replied OF some
length substantially repeating his remarks made at
Baltimore in response 10 the crowd who called upon
him after the election there. He gave the principal
credit for the good order which prevailed in Baltimore
on Tuesday to the influence and good offices OF Gems
Grant and Candy. He stated that proposition had
been made by the old Police Commissioners
10 compromise the difficulty and resign in
10 days but said the matter had gone so far that he
had declined TO accede to the proposition, and it must
now be settled by the Courts to which the Commits
siOners had appealed from his decision. After partak
ing of collation. and remaining fer some time in in
formal social converse, the party separated.
Secretary Browning has given a decision in an APP
peal from the action Of the Pension Office, in regard
TO claims for the increase OF invalid pensions under
The act of June g. 1866. His construction Of the law
is in substance conainedsin the following paragraph
quoted from the decision
Three grades OF disability described in the Act but 10

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue this even
ing received information of the seizure of the steamer
Centralia at Little Rock, Arkansas, for violation oc
the law in reference to the renewal Of cotton before
being BONDED for the payment Of the tax. This is tho
frat sei2tfe Of vessel under the new law -
Applications having been inside for the addi-
tonal bounty By a soldier who had lost his dis
charge the proper accounting officer decides that the
law orbids the payment of the claim aud that in such
cases however hard it may operate mo-
authority is vested in any officer of the Gov
eminent to dispense with condition which the law
has imposed. The llth section of the Act of July 80
1865 referred to- says that no claim for such bounty
shall be entertained by the Paymaster-General, or
other accounting or discussing officer, except upon
the receipt of the claimants discharge papers"
