is said, was fought 20 restore it. and the
war being over, all resistance to the Gov

in the Union. Why has not this been done
What is the sole obstacle in the way of that

Bad Conduct at Social Reunions.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes rs follows:
Much dissatisfaction has existed this
winter rs to the behavior of certain parties
who have gained access to the receptions.
At the last reception of General and Mrs.
Grant, on Wednesday night, to which cards
had been issued. fully one-half of the COM
pany were present without invitations, and
many of the sterner sex, in the iustling and
scrambling for refreshments, seemed to be
entirely unconscious of the fact that they
were in a private house, and that ladies
were present. At the public levee of the
President, on Thursday, it was much worse
several ladies had handsome dresses ruined
and almost torn Off by the pushing and
crowding of rough men, who, when spoken
to about their conduct, responded IN the
most insolent manner. When the assem-
blage dispersed number of gentlemen,
who had left their hats and Oyercoats IN
the vestibule found that they had disap-
peared. Unless some remedy is found fol
this, it will become matter of serious con-
sideration whether it will not become nee
essary to pretermit these receptions alto
gether."

ssB- 1t is pretty well understood at
Washington that WADE and CHASE are both
stripping and drilling for the Presidential
ring, and that the Grand Army of the Re-
public is organized and banded into divis-
ions, brigades, regiments, battalions and
companies, to aid General THOMAS in his
aspirations. If this is the only object, then
the question naturally occurs, why did
Governor Cox, or his officers here, give
them muskets? The question may be hard
to answer.

in consideration thereof, executed to the
