The PRESIDENT and General Grant.

The President and General Grant
VIZ publish this morning the Presidents
last letter to General GRANT, followed oy
the c~orroboratfve letters of the members
q ts Essiaes. 49,.
documents were telegraphed yes
terday, at very considerable expense,
specially TO the Dispatch, and appear in
this city this morning exclusively in its
columns.
No new fact is given in this addition to
the controversy, although the Presidents
criticism of General GRANTS letters brings
out some points in q more glaring light
The Secretaries quite sustain the Presi.
dent, though Mr.. SEWARD softens matters
a little with reference to the meaning o.
General GRANT.
The Associated Press telegram Of last
night makes a brief notice Of Genera
GRANTS reply to the letter Of the Presi
dent, sustained by the secretaries. He
declares that he admits the truth Of nothing
In them inconsistent with his own state
ment, and passes on to a defence OF him
self from the charge Of INSTRUMENTATION
made by the President; the tenor of which
is not communicated by telegraph.

County Subscriptions In West Virginia.
The Legislature at Wheeling passed on
the 9Th instant en- act authorizing the
counties In that State which have voted
adversely on subscriptions to the stock Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to sub
init the question of subscription again to
the people; and it provides generally for
the voting Of counties and corporations
upon the subject of subscribing to works
Of internal Improvement. In such cleo
tions ell persons Of legal age are allowed
to vote, irrespective Of the registration
now prevailing in that State, which dis
qualities in the general elections a large
part Of the population. The superintend-
emit of elections, however, is required to
keep the votes Of the registered voters
and those not registered separately.
The counties of Monroe and Mason voted
against subscriptions to the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, and this law was in
tended to give those counties the opportu-
nifty of voting again on the proposition, as
we'll as to provide the manner CT elections
with regard 10 such subscriptions in future.
The Legislature of West Virginia acts
very Justly in allowing all citizens to vote
on this important subject of subscribing to
works of internal improvement. The rea-
son is obvious: every man should have the
right to cast his vote upon the question OF
taxing himself for the general benefit.
The principle applies to all elections; yet
Radicals who have places don't want to
give them up, and will not as long as they
can shield themselves behind the iron-clad

On Monday there seemed to be more
calmness and quiet in Washington. The
intervention Of Sunday had no doubt
somewhat of a soothing influence. A day
of respite from wrangliDg may very natu-
rally mollify ven rancorous minds a little !;
and though, when they return to their
work on Monday, they do not abate q jot
in determination to proceed, they may at
least do SO with somewhat less Of passion.
This is but q natural result, and would
likely come about without the Intervention
of any very pious sentiment or inclination.
The amount of piety in the community Of
officials and politicians at the Federal
capital is not huge in the aggregate, and
the prayers put up there are hardly such
as would bssiege the Throne Of Grace with
fervor and zeal. We rather suspect that
the great bulk Of invocation there is very
much after the sort of praying of the King
OF Denmark, of which he himself said
my words fly up, my thoughts remain
below;
Words without thoughts never to Heaven

EsA CARD.-The subscribers respectfully
invite the attention of the public to this an
nouncement OF their resumption of business.
For more than twenty years our house has
enjoyed the generous support of the people of
Virginia and the South generally.
The fire of April Sd, 1865, so disastrous to
the interests of this community (and by
which we lost our alD necessitated the tenn
porary suspension of our business. In making
our advent now, and soliciting the support of
those who have patronized US in the past
with such new custom as may be our good
fortune to intluence), we can only promise the
same assiduity, zeal, and fidelity in the future,
which have characterized us heretofore.
In yenturing this announcement, we beg
leave to direct attention to the evidences of
our enterprise furnished during the late war,
when, despite the isolation of our section, we
were enabled to furnish our patrons promptly
with the latest publications of Europe and
America; while our own book list exceeded
that Of all other publishing houses in the
South.
We reopen with a large and varied stock,
embracing the latest, most attractive, and
valuable works in every department Of litera-
ture and science, and with an extensive as
sortment of stationery, &C., always essential
to O. first-class establishment.

WILLIAM WADE, aged thirty-three years.
Forget thee, oh, when life shall cease
To thrill this heart OF mine,
But not till then can l forget
One look or tore of thine.
Oh, no, it mingles with the sound
OF everything I hear,
And think We I can forget
Him I love so dear.
Forget thee, tbs a bitter word,
I would it were unsaid
Forgetfulness is not with life,
But with the silent dead.
! then may cease to think of thee,
As earthly mortals do
But oh, We'll meet, l trust, in Heaven,
With hearts unchanged and true.
