SPEAKING of General L. NJ. Gregory, who
is well known in this city, the Washington
Star says-"The current effort to bring about
the removal of Gen. Gregory, the head Of the
Freedman's Bureau affairs in Maryland, is "a
very ill.advised one. No gentleman con-
nected with the bureau in any State has rem
dered more service TO the public interest than
General G., who has succeeded astonishingly
in advancing his charge (the freed blacks of
Maryland) in every respect in which all good
and true men of all parties unite in desiring
to have them advanced-in industry, inteli-
geuee, thrift and probity. A more satislac-
torily improving people than are the colored
population IN Maryland are to be found no.
where, thanks TO the energy and devotion
TO his charge of General Gregory. Those
who find fault with his administration of his
trust are men who would destroy the Union
tomorrow, if they could, men who hate the
negro because his enfrauchisement was
literally the turning point in saving the
Union from destruction at the hands of the
atrocious conspirators who engineered the
rebellion, ~

THE NAVAL ACADEMY AT ANNAPoMs.-
The buildings in course of erection at the
United States Naval Academy, Annapolis,
are being rapidly progressed with They
consist of a chapel and quarters. The former
is being built in the southern portion of the
grounds, and near what was formerly the
Maryland State Executive mansion. 1t is
Of brick, with brown stone dressings, and
will he capacious, with tall spire. The
latter building is being erected in the north
western part OF the inclosure, near the hos
pital, and also near the int osure wall, but
when completed (it is supposed at that time
additional territory will be added to the in
stitulion) ii will be centrally located.
In this building will be quartered the en-
tire body of cadets, which fact alone will
give fair estimate of Its proportions. The
grounds are most beautifully and tastelully
laid off, and additions are being made con
stantly. One of the chief points of interest
in the institution is the Steam Engineering
Department, located in the northern section
of the Academy, and near the seawall OF the
Severn. Itis large building, bull: of brick,
and contains some of the finest machinery
that is erected. The design is to impGrt to
the cadets knowledge OF steam engineering.
There are many other points of attractive
ness which arc much resorted to.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Judge Bryan, of the United States Court,
in a case tried on Tuesday at Charleston,
testing the validity OF the panel of II jury
drawn of voters and tax payers irrespective
of color, decided that although the act of
Congress of 1S40 required the Jurors 10 be
drawn as prescribed by the Legislature of
each respective State, yet this must be CON
by the war.
He held that the Congress as now consi-
tuted was the legal Congress of the whole
country; that the Reconstruction act of Con
gress comforting suffrage upon the negro was
valid, and was the provisional constitution
and law of the State. He held that Presi
dent Johnson had no power 10 restore any
of the seeding States TO the Union He
says:-"I say II with grave sense Of re-
sponsibii,ty, it is incompetent for the Presi-
dent of the United States, by any act of his,
