money is appropriated for the Agricul.

dence in the little shoal of lceohcs who
now claim the college grant as their

The Washington Serenade.

The serenade of the President and
Cabinet, which has been pending for
some time, came off last week st the
capital. The National Union Club,
attended bya large concourse of cit
liens, constituted the serenaders.-
The movement was designed by the
friends of the President and his pol
icy, as a means. and occasion for
drawing out from the members of the
Cabinet such decided expressions of
their approval of that policy, as
would tend to influence public senti-
ment throughout the country
Viewed in this light, however, the at.
tempt was somewhat Of failure, as
the majority Of the members of the
cabinet merely bowed their acknowl-
edgemeEtiof the compliment. with
out going into any expression OF
their individual views upon the po-
litical issues of the day. Secretary
MeCulloch, however, came out very
decidedly in favor of the President's s
policy, and also very strongly against
the plan of Reconstruction devised by
Congress. Secretary Stanton was
likewise drawn ont in s speech of
considerable length, which has at
trscted marked interest from the fact
that Stanton's real position has hith-
erto been doubtful. In this .peoUll
he was extremely guarded, but sub
stsntially declared himself in favor
Of the policy of the President. He
regards the Freedmen's Bufesu Bill

the subject Of debate or of differ

Rights Bill as "passed to the statute

Although guarded in the fnanner and
matter of his speech, yet sufficient
was said to shoT that he has NOT
been mlsrepresented when classed
among the supporters Of the Presi-

He was confident that the large ma

smother their resentments and become
good citizens. if these mischief-makers
at the North. the Copperheads, would
only let them alone. For himself. if he
had the power, the first thing he would
do would be to sieze the New York
News and kindred sheets which are
giving the South so dangerous an ides
of their own position and rights.
Troops, " said Grant, "must be kept
in all the principal points in the South
for some time to come. This wiz be
necessary to repress the turbulence OF

protect the rights Of the freedmen who
are looked upon with deep hatred by a

Referring to the temper of the

No'man at the South is capable of er-

for good that he is; but instead of such,
he is setting an example of forced &C.
quiescence as grudgingiy and perni-
cious in its effects as to be hardly re-
allied.
1.-The men who were in the rebel
armies, ''.said Grant, "acquiesce in the
result much better than those who staid
at home. The women, particularly,
were bitter against the Union and Union
men" "Of course" he added, 'fhere
is some bitterness of feeling among all
classes, but am satisfied it would soon
die out if their leading men had not
