HeRdquarters-E1i Intentions.
General Grant, our President elect, arrived in
Washington on Saturday evening. The New
York Iribune's special says:-
He came so quietly and uuos'enta'iously, Is
Is his wont, that 1t wa, not until this Afternoon,
when he appeared on the avenue IN company
with friend and took leisnTely stroll ABOUT
the streets thai his presence in the city became
generally known. He arrived at tue depot at
about O'clock, in SPECIAL tram, accompanied
by his wle aud children, several members of
his military iam'y, aud one or tSo frIepis who
have been with him slice he TOOK the cars At
GaIcna. The Hon. simon Cameron AMI the
Hon. j. d. Cameron, President Of the NJrthern
Central Railroad accompanied thD parry from
Harrisburg. So quiet was the Generals comma
that he was rot recognized at the depo5 mere until
his name was discovered on au old
valise which had been with hIm
from Vlcks ourg 10 ADpomat OK. Tue dis
Covcry was made by reconstructed hickman,
who shouted at the top OF his voice to au
associate, Halo, Sam Seymour'5 pardner is
somewhar here. There's his carpet-bag." The
party was rapidly driven to the Generals
residence on | street. which had been made
ready for his occupancy. To-day he spent two
or three hours at his headquarters, looking
over the records and papers OF the Office, aud
examining such matters of interest as had not
been forwarded TO him at Galena. He also
spent an hour or so looking about the city, and
remarklng upon the improvements which are
little changed. There Is less OF the fatigued,
ppTplexed look about the face, but in the
simplicity of his dress and manner he is, as
before his election to the Presidency, an unob-
trusive gentleman.
A lew of the Generals most intimate friends
called at his house today, and it has been sug.
gested to HIM that from this time forth until the
close OF his administration he viii not know y
quiet moment, in which he can be at peace, with
the ofhce-seekers. 1t is also said that he has
under consideration a suggestion of a friend
having some knowledge OF the subject, that he
keep list OF all who approach hlm on the sub
jeCt of office before his Inauguration, aud that
he make melancholy examples OF them by re-
iustng to appoint any OF them, 1t is thought
that this course NAV prove beneficial in the
future. 1t is tie Geuerars intention to
remain in this CITY during the
winter. Tue question or the resignation
OF his office General OF the Army is already
discussed in the newspapers we'll rs in mill.
tary circles. This question seems 10 be next in
importance 10 the appointment Of his Cabinet,
so ar as the Democrats are concerned. They
d~sire, first, the selection OF a suitable Cabinet,
and, failing in that his resignation from the
army, to take effect at once. They believe that
next to the subject OF the Cabinet no hing cln
do more towards conCiating the South aud
removing all reason Tor humiliauou than
Grants giving up his conmis, ion to President
johnson. The course which the General will
pursue has not been made kDo En, except by the
Den nocrats. Some say that he will resign this
week, to take effect March A. 1869, and others
that he will take 10 steps i'll the premises until
the assembling of Congress.
