Governor Swami Of Mary land endorses Prcsi-
dent Johnson's course, is jubilaut over what he
calls the reaction against the policy of Congress,
and expresses great anxiety that the white peo-
pie Of Maryland may not amalgamate with the
colored race, which be fears will be the case il
suffrage is granted them. In referring to the
militia, he approves of the administration of Gen.

WAsnINGroN. Jan

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 5.
Gentlemen who are well posted are of opinion
that the result OF the financial discussions will be
a declaration by Congress that the paper currency
shall neither be contracted nor expanded that
nothing will be enacted defining the payment of
bonds either in gold or in grcenbacks; that a new
long loan, subject TO taxation will be established
and that the accumulation OF gold in the Treasury
will be stopped.
The House committee ways and means will
probably report that the blame for the non-collec-
ton Of a large share Of the internal revenue lies
at the door of President johnson, who has ap-
pointed and has retained in office so many incom-
petent and dishonest revenue officials Could
this great evil be remedied the taxes might be
greatly reduced and yet the Treasury would re-
ceive more money than is now paid in.

NAShlNGIoN, Jan D.

afternoon. One offered by Gov. Boutwell, instruct
ing the Reconstruction committee to inquire into
the expediency Of reporting bill placing all Of
the Districts OF the South under the command of
Gen, Grant in one entire district, and giving him
all the powers that District Commanders have now,

cock for bis course as commander of the 9th Mill
tary District, but the resolution was laid on the
table by nearly party vote.

Gen. Sheridan for his course at New Orleans,
thanking Gen Grant for his letter to the Pres-
dent on Stanton, and ceusuring A. johnson as the
acting President for removing the above officers

The UNITED STATES AGAINST FRENcH SHIP
BUILDERS AND BANKERS. Napoleon is in anoth-
er tight place He will hardly like to confess that
he did not honestly MAINTAIN the strict neutrality
he protested in our late war, and that he permit
ted the would be conlederacy to obtain things
contraband Of war in France Yet he sees the
United States bringing an action against certain
ship-builders and bankers Of France, to get from
them an enormous sum they received for building
vessels for the rebel states and a further sum as
an indemnity for the expenses to which our coun-
try was subjected in sending ships to French wa
tiers to seize those vessels. The action involves
questions of immense pecuniary Importance to in
dviduals and is likely to succeed. II it does, IT
will be virtually forcing Napoleon to admit his
meanncss and doube-dealing. The United States
is bound to know who its friends were in its most
troublous times

A CHANGE IL JAPAN.-Japan is in revolution
and while Europe is gradually tending toward the
overthrow OF the temporal power Of the pope,
the japanese tycoon has resigned his governing
power into the hands of the mikado. This is as
if Victor Emanuers underngs should install the
pope over the Italian kingdom Jhe mlkado has
always been the hottest of holies in japan, but
has never governed before lie has been support
ed BY the revenue of petty province, aided by a
small yearly present from the sovereign. The
daimios, or mobiles, have virtually done the gov
erning, under the tycoon; SO the natural SUPPOSE
ton is that they have reyoled against the tycoon
and put the mikado at their head.

Of the tardy recognition which Grants great abil-
tiles gained in the early years OF the war as CIV
ing a fair example of the style Of the book
The truth is, that Grants extreme simplicity Of
behavior and dircctness OF expression imposed on
various officers, both above and below him. They
thought him good, plain man, who had blunder-
ed into one or two successes, and who therefore,
could not be Immediately removed but they
deemed it unnecessary TO regard his judgment, or
90 count upon his ability. His superiors made
their plans invariably without consulting him, and
his subordinates sometimes sought to carry out
their own campaigns, in opposition or indifference
70 his orders, not doubling that, with their supe'
rior intelligence, they could conceive and eN-
ecute triumphs which would excuse or even vim
dictate their COURSE 1t is impossible to under
stand the early history Of the war, without taking
it into account, that neither the government nor
It's important commanders gave Grant credit Tor
intellectual ability or military genius
His other qualities were also rated low. Be-
cause he was patient some thought it impossible
to provoke him; and because Of his calmness u
was supposed that he was stolid. In battle or in
campaigning he did not seem to care or consider
so much what the enemy was doing as what he
himself meant TO do and this trait, TO enthusiast
tic and even brilliant soldiers, appeared ineXpli-
cable. A great commander 1t was imagined,
should be nervous excitahle, inspiring his men
and captivating his officers calling private SOL
dlcfs 10y their names, making eloquent addresses
in the field. and waving bis drawn sword in bat
tie. Great commanders had done all these things,
and won and many men who could do all these
things, nnced themselves therefore great com
manders Others imagined wisdom TO consist in
science alone; they sought success in learned and
elaborate plans, requiring months TO develop whet
the enemy was Immediately before them; they
manuuvred when it was the time to fights they in
trenched when they should have attacked, and
studied their books when the field should have
been their only problem.
Grant was like none Of these. II he possessed
requirements, he appeared unconscious OF them; h'
made mo- ausiou to the schools and never hest
tated to trangress their rules, when the occasion
seemed to him TO demand IT, So he neither woi
mems hearts by Establishments, nor affected thei
imagnatous 10y briliiancy Of behavior; nor did III
seem profound, to those who are impressed onl
by display OF learning. Al these things shou
be appreciated by those who seek to understand
bis character or career.

tsalian tree, attaining height of nearly
FIVE hundred feet, exceeds in this respect,

Attention has lately been directed to the
great economic value of the tree, its ex-
treme rapidity of growth, the compactness
of its fibre, adaptation to arid and waterless
regions Of the warmer portions Of the
globe; and the Italian Government is at
present engaged in introducing it into that
kingdom, hoping thereby to restore for
est vegetation to the denuded SUBMITS and
ridges of the mountain chains. It has al
ready been tried in Algiers, where tree
fifteen years old shows the volume and all
the qualities Of an oak Of one hundred, and
seed planted three years ago has now
furnished tree four feet in circumference

A Story FROM PARIs.-A Paris letter
tells the following story of Twelve Night
Fete in that city: " A wealthy family in
the aristocratic boulevard Malesherbes,
were amusing themselves seeking the
kings portion. or the ring in the festival
cake, when lady Of the company says to
the hostess: :" wish my portion to be
given to the poorest little boy you can
find in the street." The servant was dis
patched on this freezing night, and not far
from the house he found ragged urchin,
trembling with cold and hunger. He
brought him up, and ordered him into the
gay saloon, where thousand lights gilt
tered, and sparkling fire gladdened the
eyes of the poor little fellow. Dumb
founded and surprised, he drew the portion
which the benevolent lady had promised.
and as luck would have it, the little fellow
found the ring" (beans they use in
Paris instead, and Of course he was
'king." They all shouted out that being
king he must choose queen. He was
asked so to do, and looking around the
company he chose the very lady who had
proposed to cede her portion of the cake.
He was asked why he chose her. He said,
81 don't know she looks the most like
mother p Mother whose mother ?"
" My mother p .'I never knew her, but
was stolen away from her, and here is her
portrait?" With this he drew from out
his ragged coat a likeness which proved to
be that of the very lady herself, who, in It.
ally, had her children stolen from her, and
now he turns up poor little ragged Sa-
voyard, dragging along miserable exist
ence in Paris, while the mother, by an in
tuition, perhaps, felt that in the air near
to where she was, was one SO dear to her.
