The Stanton Tmbroglio-Grant and
the New Reconstruction Bill.

The Stanton TmbrOgli0-Grant and
!, the New Reconstruction Bill.
Special telegram to tho Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, January Interpretation
has to-day been on tip-toe with regard to
the Stanton imbroglio. Something was to
turn up Of an intensely exciting character,
according to the quid names and curbstone
gossips, and it is said kilograms Of sensa-
tional character were sent off in all direc-
tions. According to the assertions of some.
the President was about to issue an order
for the arrest and trial Of General Grant
for disobedience Of orders Of his command
er-in-chief, and the War Department was
to be closed by order of the Executive.
Some had it that these orders had been
issued. Absurd as the stories were, they,
nevertheless, received credit among intel
ligent persons and even among Republican
members of Congress. 1t can be stated
advisedly that no order of any kind in rela-
ton to the War Department trouble has
been issued to-day, nor is any proposed at
this time; and it is scarcely necessary to
add that there was no foundation Whatever
for the extravagant rumors above men,
toned. Grant did not hold the position of
Secretary adj interim by virtue Of
a military order, and he could not,
therefore, be held to account, and
tried by court-martial, as suggested,
for his surrender of the War Depart
ment to Stanton; and closing up the
Department would not decide the legality
or illegally of Stanton's claim to perform
the duties of Secretary. The truth is that
no new feature in the Stanton affair was
presented to-day, so far as your CORE
spondent can learn; and, as far as he is
advised, the dispatches to your journal on
this subject embrace O correct history OF
the tripartite controversy between the
President, Grant, and Stanton, except
that we have not givon the details of the
interview between the Executive and
Grant on yesterday, ct which Gene
raj Sherman was present, and when
General Grant admitted substantially that
he had had an understanding with the
President either to continue in the War
Department., and test the controversy with
Stanton, or give notice to the Executive,
that he might appoint another secretary ad
interim.
General Grant was upon the floor Of the
House this afternoon comforting with
members upon the features Of the recon
struction bill now under discussion. He
advised them not to pass the bill, and espe.
cially objected to the section giving the
General of the Army power to appoint
military commanders. WALLACE.

THE FERRY POINT TRAGEDY.-We learn
that Mrs. Fanny Winingder, the victim OF
the Ferry Point tragedy, was much better
yesterday, and expressed wish to see the
Rev. P. A. Peterson, pastor of the Cum
berland-street church in Norfolk. She also
asked if Sarah got the gold; and being told
that nothing was known as to its where
abouts, gave information where to find it,
and stated that she had hidden it from Sa-
rah Jefferson. Mrs. Winingder stated that
no one assaulted her, to her knowledge,
but Sarah Caps, the washerwoman. This
statement proves the tale of Sarah Capps
about Sarah Thoroughbred to be false.
The gold was found where Mr.. Winning.
der had placed it; and as the papers and
greenbacks have been found, there is no
thing now missing but the watch.-No7JoA

which dry floating clouds prevailed
not sufficient, however, to veil the

river commenced swelling late Thurs
day night, and up to 8 o'clock yester-
day had risen nearly six inches. The
rise will be only temporary unless we
have a general rain.

THE best thing to deawith a seeded
down barley-stubble, infested with
weeds. is to run the moving machine
over it and shave off the stubbie,
weeds, ETC., close to the ground. 1
adopted this plan last Fall on my
wheat stubbles, on some sandy knobs,
that were full of thistles. 1t has
checked them sufficiently to enable
the clover to get the start of them
this season. and l think it viii
smother them out. The moving ma
chine is not appreciated as a means
Of destroying weeds as fully as it
should be.

How BOnner,s HORSES arc shed.

The proper shoeing of horses is a
matter OF great Importance In all
eases but inthose of delicate -hoofed,
high blooded trotters, it becomes a
vital question both for speed and
comfort. Mr.. Bonner is so particu-
lar about the manner in which his
horses are shOd, that he always SUI
perlntepds the operation himself, re-
naming in the shop during the 1T
ting and mailing Of the shoes, both of
which details he not only directs,
but even assists in personally. AS
the perfect latness of the shoe is
necessary to even and comfortable
stepping, Mr.. Bonner has procured a
smooth and fiat block of marble,
upon whose surface he places every
shoe before it is nailed to the horses
hoof, and il the iron does not lie
plump on the stone, it is hammered
and flied until thoroughly level
surface is obtained. He has also a
theory about fastening a shoe. He
makes the smith hammer the nails
alternately on each side, stroke foI
stroke, nail by nail, left and right, SO
that the tightening of the shoe to the
hoof, is gradual and equal on both
sides. He also has the shanks of the
shoe stretched a very little wider
than the hoof; and by this system OF
driving the nails, the foot is brought
out to the shoe, and the frog and heel
are expanded in the operation. The
result is highly conducive to the
soundness and toughuess of the hooi
and the freedom and frmness of the
step in the animal.
