From ashington.

New \ ork, Feb. II
~ despatch says the examination of the
Hortd s correspondent developed the fact
that the President had assured him that he
had promised Gen. Grant to assume all
responsibility for a violation of the tenure
office act In case of the restoration of Mr.
Stanton. Gen. Grant appears TO morrow
before the committee.
The same special states that the Presi-
dent S ejoindcr to General Grant reached
the army headquarters to day. 1t is un-
derstood to night thai the President de-
cilncs to make it public till there Is an an
swcr to the resolution which passed The
House this afternoon The letter will be
read tomorrow after the morning hour.
Another special also states that tho
President contemplates offering the mission
to Eng land to Gen. Mcclellan.
Washington, Feb. IL.
The President letter to Gen. Grant was
delivered at headquarters this afternoon.
aud the House, at the instance of the Dem
ocratic side, has called for COPY of it.,
which will probably be furnished on We'd
nesday--possibly to day The President
on the issue as to occurrences at the Cabi-
net meeting on the l4th ultiino, supports
himself with letters from five members of
the Cabinet. The Presidents letter is
long and bitter, though said to be less Sc
we're than as flushed on Thursday. He
writes that he regard Grants letter of the
2Sth about obeying Stanton's orders, as in
subordinate, and the General is roughly
lectured for expressing the belief that the
President meant to trap him into viola
ton Of law.

Cutting eff the Supplies

The English papers are very much dis
susted by new manifestation Of Fcnian
ingenuity in Ireland, which takes even a
mere questionable shape than the harass
ments of police and so!dicry that form the
burden of cable dispatches. 1t appears
that the Fenians are actually oljecting TO
pay rent for land, and that organization is
So perfect that it is impossible to carry out
the ordinary process of law in such cases.
Bailffs are hunted like wolves, aud if Of
lenders are arrested they are promptly ac.
quilted 10y Eenian juries. As for sales OF
seized property, no man bids for his neigh
bors goods. The landlords are naturally
much alarmed at this new phase of popu-
lar discomfort, and are almost in despair at
the prospects. They are touched at last
in the most tender point The only won
der however, is, that they have been so
long able to collect their rents-and such

SUFFERING IN PRUSSIA. The Queen of
Prussia, considering the distress existing
in the Eastern provinces Of the kingdom,
invited, few days back, nearly seventy
ladies, chiefly wives and daughters of COM
mercial men, to consult with her respecting
the most proper means of aiding the neces-
sitious people. The holding of an immense
bazaar in the royal palace was determined
or, all the ladies engaging to assist. The
Prussian journals publish strong appeals to
the public charity, on behalf of the laboring
population of the Eastern provinces of that
kingdom, who are not only already suffer
ing drcadfully from want, but threatened
with absolute famine from the scarcity of
the late harvest. Already the hospitals
are crowded, and typhus has made its ap-
pearance.

A Strange Dream and its FulfilIment.

Among the victims of the late Angola
disaster was Mr.. j. P. Hayward, Of State
Line, who was in the employ of the rail-
road company as their agent at that place.
The Painesville (O.) Advertiser gives an
account of 6 strange dream-for the correct
ness of which it vouches-which Dir. Fl.
had just six months before be lost his life.
It says:
He dreamed that he was away from home
in desert, when suddenly he heard great
crash, and upon looking in the direction
from which the sound proceeded he saw a
bright light, which seemed to reach to the
very heavens, and he heard screams and
yells Of the most frighttai and heart rend-
ing character. On looking about him he
saw an august parsonage, monk, he
thought, sitting in high estate, aud he in
CURED where all that noise came from.
From hell, answered the monk. The
dreamer asked, What does it mean p
The monk replied, ~ means that you
must instantly die - Mr. Hayward then
told the monk thai he was not yet prepared
to die and begged for further time. The
monk finally said, your prayer is granted /;
you may live upon the earth six months
longer, at the expiration of that time you
shalt die At this juncture Mr.. Hayward
was awakened by his wife, who was alarm
ed at her husbands actions; he was sit
ting up in bed and being greatly agitated.
An Erie paper speaking OF it adds; The
dream made a great impression upon his
mind, and was the subject of much thought
and frequent conversations with his friends
for time, but at length he came to look
upon it as of no consequence, Ga precise
ly the last day of the six months he pur-
chased life insurance ticket for $4,000,
took passage on the ill-fated train for Buff
falo and was numbered among the victims

The Sultan Out at Dinner with Sub
ject-An Imperial Revolution.
From the London Post, Jan. Is.

A wonderful thing has happened in Tur-
key The Sultan has gone out to dinner
with subject--sa mark of favor and con
descension unprecedented in the annals of
Oriental history. Hamil Pasha issthe for
tunatc man who has been gratied by this
new honor. But it will probably soon be
shared by many others, as the Sultan ap-
pears to have entirely thrown away all tie
conventional restraints of his rank and his
religion to mix freely and ha6itualy with
other people 1t is a bold experiment,
and one which will appear of very doubtful
prudence to most persons intimately ac
quainted with the manners and prejudices
of the East 1t il not many years since the
guards at ambassadors palaces refused to
salute them. The popular theory among
the Turks Of the old party was, that who
soever slew Christian did good service to
Allah. They were BY no means scrupulous
as to the number of such services, and rem
dered them very freely upon every possible
occasion. They had no respect for any but
armed men Of their own creed, ard the
Sultan not only enjoyed supreme power as
a despouc sovereign. but was universally
held to be the direct representative of the
profit, and as sdch the chief of religion.
