In WASHINGTON.

g
Sergeant Bates arrived in Washington on
Tuesday, according to programme, and was re-
ceiyed at the end Of the Long Bridge by a
large eoncourse Of ladies and gentlemen. A.
mong those present was Senator Doolittle, Of
Wisconsin, who shook hands with Bates amid
the loud cheers of the crowd. After resting
awhile at the hotel near the Long Bridge, a
line of march was taken up Fourteenth street
to Pennsylvania Avenue, and thence to the e1-
ecutive mansion. Arrived at the front portlco'
President johnson appeared, and, taking Bates
by the hand, said: "An desire TO do is to
simply welcome you and your flag" He then
took the sergeant by the arm and they walked
into the house and into the east room together,
followed by the crowd. Here again the Presi-
dent said: Sergeant Bates, again welcome
you to the national capital and to the execu-
tive mansion. heartily welcome your flag
our flag; may it always be as glorious and vic
torious in the future as it has been in the past.
Mrs. Patterson, the Presidents daughter, pre-
sented him with Boquet. He then proceed
ed to the Capitol, but ,cas not permitted to I'M
furl his flag from the Dome He went to the
Washington Monument and from its lofty sum-
NIT flung his flag to the breeze.
At this point Mr.. Perrine, Of New York,
made speech, in the course Of which he al
luded to the fact that Bates had travelled all
over the South, and had met with no impeii-
meut Until he arrived at the national capitol,
where the doors were barred by orders Of rad
ical law makers, and an American citizen, car
rying the American flag was prevented from
entering. Sergeant Bates was then driven to
the Metropolitan Hotel, and thus ended the
excitement Of the moment.

RETUBSEp.-The Hagerstown Nail says
our old friend. Mr.. John Schindle, who emf
grated to Nicholas county. W. Va. some years
ago has removed with his family 10 this county.
Mr.. S. says it was impossible to make living
in that section, owing to the condition of the
country and the oppressive taxes. He owns a
valuable body of land, and on leaving could
not secure a tenant on condition that the ten
ant should simply pay the taxes.

Reverse Movement.

On Saturday last TIE Court Of impeachment
ruled against allowing Gen. Sherman to state
the character Of the conversations between the
President and himself upon the several occa-
sions in which the Secretarvsbip Of War was
offered to him. This exclusion Of important
testimony as 70 the intent" Of the Presiden,
was so palpahly ilrberal and unjust. and Gre
a,ed 81 much disgust among hir-mindei peo-
pie. that majority ~ the Senate found It ne
oessary to reverse their action on Monday
The way wa opened by a question submitted
by Senator johnson whether the President.
in rendering % him the Office Of Secretary Of
War stated % him at that time what was his
purpose in 50 Doing" This was admitted to
be put by vote of &c % 25: and Gen. Sbcr-
nan stated distinctly that the President never
limited az using frrce-'bat Of by removal
force was meant. the President said nothing
that conveyed sucb m impression to his mind. 4"
The insolence Of Butler, IN intimating tha,
Senator johnson was acting as counsel for the
President was sferry rehuked bv NJ J., and
Butler bauled IT as he did at Fort Fisher
finding a fart that could not he taken hy blus-
ter. and he made as decent an apology as a
course nature Ike his was capable Of making.
TIE charge Of " wicked intent" on the part
Of President is completely exploded.

We said that the Connecticut election would
give some indication Of the strength Of Gent
Grant as a candidate for President So II has.
II shows that even with him as their candidate.
the Republicans cannot afford to throw aside
all considerations Of prudence, and force upon
the country violent and doubtful schemes
With any other candidate in prospect for Pres
ident, we are inclined To think that the Repub-
lican defeat in Connecticut would have been
much more signal and alarming.

Can ANY ONE. BE ExrRADITEp.-This
is a question which, it seems to us, in
terests the American Authorities quite
a good deal under the circumstances.
One Morton and Thompson, having
robbed in May last in N. Y. City, the
Merchants Union Express Company of
large sum Of money, escaped to Can
ada. They were followed, arrested
and tried, in Toronto, CIV, under the
Ashburton Treaty and discharged. 1t
seems that thee violence was clear, still
the Magistrate discharged them both.
1t thus seems that the Canadian Au-
thorities are fully determined not to
surrender fugitivcs from justice, who
flee to that country. All that is nee
essary for men to do now is, to COM
nit a crime, flee to Canada and all will
be well with them. Is it possible that
the American Authorities will submit
to such treatment We learn from
the Toronto Globe Of their discharge,
for copy OF which Jacob Yeiser Jr.
will please accept our thanks.
