Ad i.terim Thomas,

The following brief report Of the exami.
nation of General Lorenzo Thomas before
the senate possesses rare interest:
The witness appeared in full uniform, and
bore himself well upon the direct examina-
tion. His description of the interview with
Mr.. johnson, when the latter handed him
the order making him secretary of war ad
interim, and said, General Thomas, / am
determined TO support the constitution and
laws, and desire you to do the same" were
very amusing, although the importance of
the statement was also recognized. The
fact was brought out, for the first time, in
Thomas evidence, that after Stanton had
refused to vacate the Office Thomas went
down stairs to his room and certified q
copy of the presidents order, as secretary
of war ad interim. and carried the
book to Stanton. During the direct examina.
tlon General Thomas got on pretty well,
and for time after General Butler began
his Cross examination. Buffers manner
Was harsh toward the witness, so much so
as to turn sympathy in favor of the latter;
but later in the examination it became more
apparent that Buffers purpose was to break
the witness down by forcing him out of any
track he might have marked out for him
self, by which he would be able to withhold
part of what the managers wanted to
know, and it was final success in this. that
it partially excused Mr. Buffers rough
handling of Mr.. Thomas, though very sharp
criticism OF the matter was freely INDUCED
in by many Of Mr.. Buffers friends. At
length Mr.. Thomas admitted that at one
time he had fully determined to use force in
getting into the war Office, and he repeated
this several times in very decided manner,
and much to the discontinue ofthe counsel.
He also testified that he had been fully rec
ognized as secretary Of war ad interim at
cabinet meetings, and was still so recog
nized. This was turned by Butler at once
upon that portion of Curtis's argument
where it was held that the president had
only gone as far as he could go himself in
appointing General Thomas to the war
office, and then sent in the name for action
of the senate. On the whole, while those
present sympathized very deeply with
Thomas, the impression on the minds of
most was that the presidents counsel had
damaged their case by producing him, and
the managers strengthened theirs. The
sympathy arose entirely from the feeling
that he had grown gray in the service of his
country, and that such a man, before such
an audience, should be treated with the
respect due to his rank and his years.

with -four, rice, pork, beef coffee, tea, su-
gar, medicine, clothing etc, and came to
their rescue.
We found great many children growing
up in ignorance all over the South. We
therefore filed our carpetbags with more
than million dollars worth of school
books and scattered them all over these
states, and we hired teachers for the schools
in which those books were used.

Mr.. A. T. Stewart is one of the original
admirers and advocates of General U. S.
Grant for the presidency. A report has
been industriously circulated by Democratic
sheets that he had become .displeased with
Grant and abandoned him. We called his

following reply, which we lay before the
public with pleasure:
New YORK, March 30, 1868.

With thanks for your kindness in draw.

Louisiana was settled by the French in
l7l7. In 1862 it was ceded to Spain, and in
1900 transferred to France, by whom it was
sold to the United States for SIS 600, 600 in
1908. The state was admitted to the Union
in 1872. In 1860 the population Of New Or
leans was l6s, 600; in 1868 it is 260,00 The
coast line extends 1855 miles, not including
the islands, that give 994 miles additional.
The inland navigation is greater than that
of any other five states. and amounts TO 20,-
600 miles. There is scarcely any point in
the state that is twenty miles from naviga-
ton. Three-fourths of the state, comprising
the upland and ailaFiRl portion, is covered
with live oak, pine, cypress, white oak, post
oak, gum, ash, and other lumber. There
are 1000 lakes, Of which thirty-one are con.
siderable in size, and all are filed
with fine fish. There are sixtythree diff
ferent rivera and bayous of sufficient size
to be useful. The Mississippi washes the
state for 800 miles, and the Red river more
than GOO; the Atachafalaya and 0nachita,
zoo, and the Sabine, GOO. There are 446
miles Of railroad in operation, and new
lines talked of 0neh half of the state is
rolling upland, where the hills never ex.
coed $50 feet in height; onefourth is al
luvial, and the residue prairie and sea
marsh. Much of the upland belongs to the
government, and will soon be sold under
the homestead law. Yet to what condi-
tion of dependence and poverty have the
people of this favored spot of nature been
brought. Fine improved plantations, of
1000 to 1000 acres, withintWelYe hours from
New Orleans, with buildings and machinery,
can be bought for ten dollars an acre, and
at this rate Northern and Eastern men are
buying the property up and driving the
natives away. .--4Net1 York Express.

The absence Of cotton operations, the eX.

and the gloomy weather combine to depress
monetary affairs. Nothing was done at the
board of brokers to-day.
ExcHAEGE-We do not hear OF single
outside transaction, aud the banks report a
small routine business; s1500 cor,,ntercisl
sterling was taken at 1915, and Il. 600 bank

tic are reported to tie extent of SIC, 600 at
! and S65,0OO at premium; also $40, 600

check at premium.
GoLD-The New York market has been
| steady to-day at the advanced and opening
rate Of 28s prem. In this market, sales in
round lots have been made to the extent of
about $40, 900 at 500 aud one lot, $4,000, at
