Jesse d. Bright now of Kentucky, who was
so basely treated in the Senate, and expelled

The Washington correspondents OF the Balii-
more Sun says: Gen Grant to-day, in can

ening measures that disturbed the public mind,
and kept wcll.disposed citizens in alarm for the
stability of the government and security of f.
nancial interests.
