WASHINGTON.
The COlored Militia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA letter re-
ceived from a personal and political
friend of Thaddeus Stevens, dated
Lancaster, Pa, the 9th, says: Mr..
Stevens is not so we'll; still he ex-
poets to leave. for Washington, on
Saturday He may, but | think tex
tremely doubtful if he can appear in
the House.
WASHINGTON, November 6.-There
has been almost as much talk here to-
day about the disbandment of the col
ored militia as about the elections. It
appears that some ten days ago the
Presidents attention was called to a
paragraph sent from this city by a
sensational correspondent, In which
it was stated that the negroes were
arming here to aid Congress and the
Radicals in their attempt to suspend
the President before impeachment
This paper Mr.. j ohnson sent to Gen.
Grant, with an order to report the
number, character and object Of the
negro militia. The Secretary oc War
called on General Emery, in COM
mand here, for an answer. He inves-
tigated, and reported that there were
dDOub 1OuE u bHC NIOOpS, vi
whom half were armed, and, that
while there was no express authority
for their organization, they were per-
mitted to meet and form in companies
by the city government
This report of Gen. Emery was for
warded by General Grant to the Pres
ident, who returned it with the per-
emptory order directing the disband-
ment of the negro militia. This order
passed through General Grants
hands to General Emery, who there
upon notified the officers of the col
ored troops not to parade any more in
public. He did not at once order
their eaking up, for the reason that
he could not see why they should be
disbanded when all other classes of
citizens are allowed to organize in
military companies This morning
he returned the Presidents order,
with an Endorsement In effect that as
martial law no longer existed here,
he was not able to find by what au-
thority he could order the disband-
ment of troops. This Endorsement
was also forwarded to the President
by General Grant

appearance before the Federal Court.
From what has transpired in the matter
it appears that bogus vouchers to the
amount of several hundred thousand
dollars have been issued In this city,
the same put upon the market and
disposed of. We hear it stated that
Kills, the man arrested, has been fig
uring extensively In indianapolis and
Louisville, where his movements were
closely watched by Captain Fayman,
"a Government detective, who. has
been on his track for some time back,
and followed him to this city. Other
parties are implicated in the forgery,
and fresh developments may be ex-
pected Captain Fayman has dis
played great energy In the matter, and
is entitled to no little credit for the
manner in which ne has conducted
the whole affair Nashville Banner,

JEFF. Davis Pettic0ats Again.

As the friends of Davis have siren
uously denied that he was disguised
as a woman, it may not be improper to
specify the exact articles of women's
apparel which he had upon him when
first seen by Lieutenant Dickinson
and Corporal Munger. The former
states that he was one of the three
persons dressed in woman's attire,
and had "a black mantle wrapped
about his head, through the top of
which could be seen locks of his hair"
Captain @. W. Lawton sFourth Michi-
gan Cavalry, who published an ac-
count Of the capture in the atlantic
Monthly for September, 1865, states
explicitly, upon the testimony of the
officers present, that Davis, in addi-
ton to his full suit of Confederate
gray; had on a lady's water proof
cloak, gathered at the waist, with
shawl draWn over the head, and car
rying tin pail. "
Col. Pritchard says. 10 his official
report, that he received from Mrs.
Davis, on board the steamer Clyde,
off Fortress Monroe, a water proof
cloak or robe,'' which was worn by
Davis as a disguise, and which was
identified by the men who saw it on
him at the time of the capture. He
secured the balance of the disguise
the next day. 1t consisted of shawl,
which was identified in similar man
ncr by both Mrs. Davis and the men.
From these circumstances there seems
to be no doubt whatever that Davis
sought to avoid capture by assuming
the dress of a woman, or that the la
dies of the party endeavored to pass
him off upon his captors as one of
themselves.
