by the President -Surrau's ArrelSnment-
Ths Civil Appropriasion Bill In the House
se-calleA Loyal Newspaper - % frssecsed'
WAsurxorox, February, Is, 1867.
The preparation Of the message return
inr the reconstruction bill TO Congress y
now in progress, and those who have the
confidence Of the President assert thai tnS
reasons for the Presidents ohjsction win
be urged In q most elaborate ana c0nciu-
sive style. The friends Of Mr.. Johnson con-
trsdict every assertion that ne ID IN tne
least Alarmed At the prospect OF congress.
sionsl action should he pocket the bill, and
not veto Il. which will give chance TO the
Radicals 10 make Il law. The President
Knows. as does every one else who Is con-
yersant with the declarations Of the majo-
rity in Congress, that should this bill be
defeated by It's being retained In the Exc
cutive Department, the next Congress
would, Immediately after assembling, frame
one much more rigid and obnoxious In its
provisions-admitting that to be possible
and press It to passage. The objections
which will be urged to the present measure
are all to be based upon constitutional
grounds, and will be deliberately set forth I;
but there Il no idea in existence that they
will be considered. If they should be I'm
fair manner) II is very possible that some
who voted for its passage would change
their votes upon the final reckoning. ),
John II. Surratt was today arralgned
for trial. His friends in Maryland nave
taken very good care OF him, ana ne mas
been provided with able counsel. The IN
dictment against him charges him with
the murder of the late President Lincoln !;
and various speculations exist as to
whether he can be convicted thereon or
not. ~.
In the House of Representatives to-day,
Schenck of Ohio, in the course OF some
remarks on the Civil Appropriation bill,
was yery severe upon Mr.. B. b. French,
the Commissioner Of Public Buildings,
whom he spoke Of as poet laureate OF the
Administration, on account Of some verses
written and published some time ago
headed "Andrew Jackson and Andrew
Johnson He caused the verses to be
read, and they were treated with great de.
rision by the Radicals. Should Mr.. John
son be impeached, and Wade step into the
Presidential chair, IS the extreme Radicals
desire, Mr.. French's tenure Of Office would
most probably be very short.
Among the amendments to the bill was
one offered by Stevens providing for the
election by the Senate Of superintendent
Of public buildings, to perform the duties o.
the present commissioner Of public build
ings and grounds; which was adopted. In
this way is it intended to punish Nj
French for his friendship to Mr.. johnson
Another section Of the bill provides fol
the selection by the clerk Of the House o.
newspapers in the South, not to exceed in
number the number of representatives te
which they were entitled under the recent
apportionment, for the publication OF the
United States laws, treaties, advertise.
ments, etc. This is for the purpose Of
bolstering up the so-called loyal newspa-
pers in the prominent southern cities.

Sarah JAHE.-Buttons were first used
about the time of the Norman conquest,
when ladies' dresses were made loose ana
flowing. and were fastened by one button
AZ the back of the NECK. Ever since that
time the rage for them has increased, and
they have gradually become larger, until,
at this epoch of the nineteenth century, as
many as thousand as large as backing
box tops are worn on one dress. They are
considered extremely useful In making
ward dogs watchful, for when ladies are
returning from the theatre at night the
buttons on their skirts cause great noise
by rafting against the railing.

IHE DRESS IN THE BLACK CkooK.
A New York correspondent OF the
Petersburg Mdec gives the following
account of tho dress of the "ladies5
in the celebrated play of the Black
Crook, which has had such q famous
run In New York. He says:
''Hhc ballet troupe consists of bet
ter looking young ladies than the or
dinary run of such troupes, and it is
astonishing to see to what degree
Of perfection they have reduced the
practice of economy in dress. If
Mrs. Eve could find herself in Nj
bios, [ think that she would feel per
fectly at home, and Mr.. Adam would
not think of blushing at all on ac-
count of his scantily supplied ward
robe. 1 don't exactly know how to
de crlbe the costume, but it reminds
me very much Of the pictures that |
used to see in Mitchell's geography,
when l was at school, Of native
Hottentots. 1t is a mighty conve-
nlent costume for dancing. You
can't tread on her skirts to save your
life, and there is no danger of being
trlpped up By crinoline as you &c
round in the German. No collars OF
cuffs to be mashed; no sleeves to be
ripped; in short, it is so close tc
nothing that you are long time find.
ing out the difference; and if you
don t like my description, just come
on, buy two tickets, and 1 will carry
you to see it.

SuERmAN's ORDER. Sheri-

SHERIDAN's ORDER. Gen. Sheri-
dan has added nothing to his reputa-
ton Ly refusing to allow the citizens
of Galveston to ''give civil escort,
from the steamer to the cars, to the
remains of General Johnston:" It is
true that General Johnston was q re-
bel, and that he died in the cause of
the Confederacy; but the rebellion
has passed away, and we can see no
impropriety in allowing the people of
the South to honor whom they please
In civil capacity IF the proposal
had been to give military honors to
the remains of General Johnston, the
case would be different If the Con-
federate uniforms, flags. or any other
appurtenances of the rebellion, were
to have been displayed on the occa-
sion, then the action Of Gen. Sheri-
dan might be justified. But SO far
as appears from the correspondence,
there was to be nothing more than n
civil escort a short distance through
the city. Does Gen. Sheridan, or
anybody else, propose to take from
the Southern people the affection
which they feel for men who fought
and died by their side during the late
war? If the South had conquered
the North, would not we cherish the
memory of onr heroes quite as much
as we now do? General Sheridan s
course is not calculated to hasten the
era of fraternity and concord between
the North and South, and we fail to
see how it can receive the endorse
ment OF sober, thoughtful and con
sidcrate mcn.-Ne,c York 4Sua.

to procure the release of the nation S
prisoner; and it is said that there is
prospect that he will soon be re-
leased, on bail or parole. Mr.. Gree
ley will be blamed by some OF his
friends for his persistent efforts to
obtain the release of Davis, hut they
are creditable both to his head and
heart. The President, with all his
obstinacy in some things, has shown
great want Of courage in this. The
detention of an alleged criminal
without trial for more than year
and half, is in violation OF the
spirit of the Constitution and the
general sense Of justice, and in this
case the hardship is aggravated by
the nature of the crime for which
Davis was arrested, that of compli-
city In the assassination of President
Lincoln. Guilty, as he is, of con
ssplracy against the nations life, that
furnishes no excuse for holding him
under accusation of more cowardly
and monstrous crime, without trial
and without apparent evidence. If
President Johnson had been both
just and brave, he would have re-
leased him on parole long ago

While our Legislature did nothing

of Georgia and North Carolina have
shown their wisdom, patriotism and
