HouSe.-The President was asked whe-

WAsHINeToN, February Lit isreported
on good authority that General Meade has
issued an order for the arrest of Governor
Jenkins for refusing to surrender the funds
Of the State of Georgia and for removing
the same beyond the control of the Com
mander Of the Third District. n Governor
Jenkins is now here. It is also understood
that General Meade has made requisi-
ton upon the Secretary of War for the
body of Jenkins; but up to alate hour to-
night the arrest had not been made. It is
believed toebe the purpose of Stanton to
put off the arrest until tomorrow (Sun-

COMMODORE VANDERBILT DESERTS GE-
NERAL GRANT.-There is quite stir in
political circles over letter which Com
modore Vanderbilt has just addressed to
Mr.. A. 7. Stewart, giving notice that he
(Fanderbilt) has withdrawn from the
Cooper Institute movement, which had for
its object the nomination Of General Grant
10 the Presidency. The reason assigned
iof this unexpected detection is the course
the General saw fit to adopt in regard to
the reinstatement of Mr.. Stanton in the
War Department. The letter is very
sharp, and there is a loud call upon Mr..
Stewart to make it public.
Commodore Vanderbilt friends intimate
that the communication was intended for
print, and that if the gentleman to whom
it was addressed does not permit it to be
made public he may send copy Of it to
the newspapers. Es
The Importance Of this withdrawal con-
sists in the fact that the Commodore is one
Of the wealthiest men in New York, and
that he publicly declared; not long since,
that he was prepared to spend half of his
fortune to help to make General Grant

No DANGER OF TOO MUCH STUDYING
A writer in leading magazine has an in
teresting article upon study. He regards
study as healthful, and says that "real
study conduces to peace Of mind and
body. Many girls, and boys too, are inca
pable of it. I have known parents lament
the effects of hard study on their children,
when those children never knew an hours
hard study, and never could compass it if
their life depended on it. What they suf-
fer from is inability to study, not study.
Parental ignorance, vice, weakness, or mis-
management, has given them bodies and
souls alike nerveless and faccid. They
can 60 to parties, follow the fashions,
lounge over books, perhaps pore and worry
over them but they are utterly incapable
of concentration, energy, struggle, victory.
Their minds are insane and their bodies
dropping. Others have fine physical pow
ers in which their puny souls are we'll
nigh lost. Others have strong souls, but
chained to body of death. BY all means
let such children quietly fall out Of the
ranks"

KANSAS TRap1Ne WITH TExAs..---Few q

KANSAS TRADING WITH TExAs.-Few of
our citizens, except that class who are
engaged in freighting the. cattle, trading
or in wholesaling, are aware of the dimen-
sions and Importance of the trade between
Leavenworth and Texas. The cattle trade
is very extensive and rapidly increasing.
From information which we deem reliable,
GOT less than 1000 head of Texas cattle
were slaughtered or sold in this market
during the year 1867. A very large pro-
portion of the proceeds of the immense
droves of cattle which are driven to Lea
yenworth is expended here in the purchase
Of goods. Independent of this, the mer-
chants of Wise, Red River, Bowie, Lamar,
Grayson, Hunt. Ellis, and Dallas counties,
all rich and rapidly increasing communi-
ties, buy largely of our wholesale dealers.
Goods are freighted overland ola Fort
Scott, Baxter Springs, and Fort Gibson.
1t is estimated that not less than $500, 900
worth of goods were sold by Leavenworth
dealers to Texas merchants the past year.
By fair dealing and liberal terms our mer-
chants can build up the trade to magnif-
cent proportions.-Leauenaoorth Comaner-

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-The bill au-
thorizing the sale Of thirty-fve of our 154
iron clads was sent to the President to-day.
The Attorney General is of opinion that
the sale of the United States stock in the
Dismal Swamp canal is only transfer of
personal property, and does not see how it
can be sold with the guarantee of the pur-
chasers that the canal shall be kept open.
The sale under the recent act of Con-
gress is therefore postponed.
The Ways and Means Committee have
agreed - the Senate amendment to the
whiskey metre bill, and it will doubtless
pass the House. It authorizes five COM
missioners to act with President Henry
and Professor Hilyard, Of the Smithsonian
Institute.
The New York World has dispatch
from this city, dated yesterday, which
says: 81 am authorized to state, most
confidently and dccisively, that the legiti-
mate demands which have been too meekly
urged by the Secretary of State upon the
British Cabinet are to be enforced at
whatever hazard. The new British Minis
ter, Mr.. Thornton, will probably be pre-
scented to the President on Tuesday. AL
though the addresses which are to be ex-
changed between them are to be guarded
and serene, the fact yet remains that q
speedy and satisfactory response must be
made by the British Government to the
ultimatum of the Executive Of the United
States, or else declaration of war against
Great Britain must inevitably ensue.

An IDEA FOR STREET RAILwAYs.-It
generally happens that when an Industrial
or economic invention is adopted by other
nations than the one which gave it birth,
its new application gives rise to improve
ments. Thus, the English tramroad or
railway has been in this country made ex-
ceediDgly useful in city transportation by
means of quiet and quick-running street
cars. Now, the American horse-cars are
finding great acceptance in the old world
again. But in Paris, the first city that has
adopted them extensively, the cars are run
by a fat wheel, without fange, upon a
fat rail without groove; the vehicle
being kept in place by central fifth
wheel, running in grooved central rail.
This is attached to a lever, by means of
which the driver can release the car, and
run off the track, either for the purpose of
turning out for coming car doing away
with the necessity of double track on a
road not much used), or Of getting more
friction in going down grade. Thus
each new user of an idea gives it new
use; and the ingenious Frenchmen have
even found use for the fifth wheel of a
coach. rs FAE +.

THE DISMAL SWAMP CANAL.-The
Speaker laid before the House Friday a
communication from the Secretary of the
Treasury enclosing the opinion of the At
iorney- General relative to the sale of the
interest of the United States in the Dismal
Swamp canal, authorized by joint resolu-
ton Of Congress-, provided the sale could
be made in such manner rs to secure its
being kept open as a navigable highway.
As the United States are simply stock
holders, and the sale would he but trans
fer OF personal property, the Attorney
General is at loss to see how the object
can be accomplished. The Secretary,
therefore, refers the subject to Congress,
and TIE sale is mean while suspended.
