GENERAL GRANT AND THE HEBREws.-ln
September last. Adolph Moses, prominent
Israelite of Quincy, ILL.,, at the suggestion OF
Hon. l. N Morris, wrote to General Grant to
ask whether, as rumo-ed, he regretted the is
suance of Order No. II, and whether or not he
had any antipathy to the Hebrews as a sect or
or race. General Grant replied in the following
letter, addressed to Mr.. Morris, which We find
in the last number OF the Israelite:
GALErA, ILL.,. September A. 1868.

ceipt of letter of Mr.. A. Moses, of the 3iinst,

writer's, but permitted statement of the foGts
concerning the origin of the order 10 be- made
out and given to some ono Of them fSr publica-
tion. I do not pretend to sustain tle order.
At the time Of its publication, was incensed
by reprim9nd received nom Washington for
permitting acts which Jews within my lines
were engaged in. There were many other per-
sons within my lines equally bad with the worst
OF them, but the difference was that the Jews
could pass with impunity from one army to the
other, and gold, in violation OF orders, was be-
ing smuggled through the lines, at least SO it
was reported. The order was issued and sent
without any reflection, and without thinking OF
the Jews as sect or race to themselves, but
simply as persons who had successfully Il say

indiuidual 10 be judged by his oacn merit. Or
der No. II does not sustain this statement, l

never would have been issued If it had not

and without reflection.

TIE PERPETUAL SESSION OF CONGRESS-
There is movement on foot for the repeal Of
the act providing fer q perpetual session OF
Congress. The act, it will be remembered,
was passed January "a, 1867, and provides that
in addition to the present regular time OF the
meeting Of Congress there shall be a meeting
of the Fortieth Congress Of the United States,
and of each successive Congress thereafter, at
twelve o'clock NJ. on tho fourth day Of March,
the day on which the term begins for which
the Congress is elected, thus, in effect, making
the session Of Congress continuous the whole
year round. When it was adopted it had
special object in view-namely, to watch An
drew Johnson, that terrible executive officer,
lest during some interval Of congressional re-
pose he might perpetuate some bold act that
would upset reconstruction and destroy the
Radical party. That danger having passed,
leading Radicals consider there is no longer
any necessity for exhausting vigilance, and 50
in for little rest hereafter. It is probable the
act will be repealed this winter Washing
