WASHINGTON, February 27, 1868.
After an apparent subsistence of Adiu-
tant General Lorenzo Thomas, who went
home sick the other day, political matters
settled down into something like quiet
but yesterday and to-day considerable mer-
riment was created by the appearance of
the old gentleman in new character. He
rises from sick bed, and discovers that he
has suffered in mind, body, aRd reputation
to the extent of greater sum than he ever
possessed. He demands from Secretary
Stanton S25O,OOO by way of damages.
Not only has he brought suit as above,
but he has renewed the application for a
writ Of quo warranto, and all this without
being aided or abetted by the president
1t is feared, however, that Lorenzss
physical energies will break down under
the arduous duties he has imposed upon
himself.
IL is almost certain that the president will
veto the general election bill just passed by
both houses, bat it will be passed by the
necessary majority to become law. II
will require about ten days, however, to
do this, as Johnson will be in no hurry to
act. WILLARD'S.

Since, ifyou stood by my side to-day,
Only our hands could meet,
What matter that half the weary world
Lies out between our feet:
That am here by the lonesome sea,
You by the pleasant Rhine?
Our hearts were just as far apart
If I held your hand in mine
Therefore, with never backward glance
leave the past behind;
And standing here by the sea alone,
give it to the wind.
