NEW PAvEMENT.-We noticed yss-
terday that preparations are being
made TO put down new pavement in

street, near Quincy. Tho new cnrbing
on the east side of the Second Ward
Market House has been finished, and
the gutter has been substantially bouI-
dered, improving the appearance of
that locality. These improvements add
much to the comfort OF those who semi
weekly bring to that institution, be-
longing to a past generation, the allow
ance OF our citizens in the shape OF

BODY FoUND.-We made mention a
few days since of the drowning of a son
of Mr.. Louis Greiner, residing in North
Wheeling. Efforts were made at the
time to recover the body, but without
success. Yesterday, as we are inform
cd, the hands on passing raft discov-
cred the body, and word was sent to
the proper authorities. After securing
1t, a coroners inquest was held, the
jury bringing in verdict of accidental
drowning.

PERsoNAh.---Mr. Joshua Bodley, Of
the firm of Mesars. Bodley & Son.
Wagon Manufacturers in this city, left
for the South q few days since to be alb
sent two or three months. Messrs. b
& Son made large shipment OF wag-
ons, carts and timber weels on one OF
the last boats passing here for New
Orleans. They have been for many
years engaged in sending their manu-
factures TO That region, and their work
enjoys an enviable reputation in that
country, as well as wherever it has been
sold.

RUNAwAY.-On Monday evening,
pedestrians along Quincy street in the
neIghborhood of Luke's livery stable
were thrown into quite an excitement
by horse attached to IA buggy making
some evolutions not in exact accord
ance with the stnid pnce of a nrst-class
family animal. The horse belonged to
about to be driven out by party to
ascertain If he came up TO his recon-
NEGOTIATIONS for quietness and entire
safety. He started of at a fearful gait,
was caught and turned about towards
the stable, into which he rushed,
driving everything before him. Neither
horse, buggy nor driver sustained any
damage, although the first and last
were pretty badly frightened.

PosToFFICE DEPARTMENT, |
February 0, 1868. J

SIR: | am in receipt Of your letter Of
the 9th of February, calling my attention
TO the correspondence published in the
Chronicle between the President and
Gen. Grant, and especially to that part
of it which refers to a conversation be-
tween the President and Gen. Grant at
the Cabinet meeting on the 18th OF Janu'
ary, with the request that | shall state
what was said in that conversation. In
reply, have the honor to state that |
have read carefully the correspondence
in question, and particularly the letter
of the President to Gen. Grant, dated
January 81, following the extract from
your letter of the 3lst of January, to Gen.
Grant. According to my recollection OF
the conversation that took place between
the President and Gen. Grant at the Cab
met meeting on the l4th of January
last. in the presence Of the Cabinet, the
President asked Gen. Grant whether, In
the conversation which took place after
his appointment as Secretary Of War dd
interim, he did not agree either to re-
main at the head of the War Depart
ment. and abide by the judicial proceed
inps that might follow a non-concurrence
ofthe Senate in Mr.. Stanton's suspension,
or should. if he wished not to become
embroiled in such controversy, put the
President in the same position, with re-
spect to his Office, as he occupied pre-
vious to General Grants appointment,
by returning it to the President in time
to anticipate such action by the Senate.
This Gen. Grant admitted. The Presi-
dent then asked General Grant If at the
conference on the preceding Saturday
he had not, 10 avoid a Misunderstanding,
requested General Grant to state what
be intended to do, and further, If,
in reply to that inquiry, he,
General Grant, had not referred
10 the former conversation, saying that
from them the President understood his
position, and that his General Graufs)
action would be consistent with the IN
aers.auding which had been reached To
these questions General Grant replied in
the Affirmative. The President asked
General 6raHi il, At the conclusion Of
