THE STANTON CASE

The Chicago Times thus refers to the
case Of Stanton, and the promised report Of
Senator Howard thereon
Washington dispatches say that Senator
Howard will be ready to report on the case
Of Stsnton-formeriy Secretary of War
as soon az the Senate shall reassemble. 1t
may be true that Howard will have a re-
port in the case ready, but no one ac-
quainted with that Senator will believe
that he has prepared it during the holiday
recess Of the Senate. "Honest Jake" has
different ideas of the way in which Christ
mas and New Years should be spent, from
those VINO imagine that the Original de-
signations of Providence" did not intend
whisky for man. In a natural state, it
would be a labor of love for Howard to de-
fend Stanton. In habitual state, when
among his most cherished constituents, it
would be labor which Howard would he
very likely TO forget. The probabilities
are, therefore, that the report which will be
laid before the Senate will be Stanton's
own concOction. He has all Of Towards
virus without the redeeming virtue of
drunkenness which occasionally makes the
latter incapable of mischief.
1t is reported that Grant will vacate the
War Office, even should the President order
him to remain, should the Senate disap-
prove of Stanton's suspension. If he has
made any statement of this kind, he should
forthwith be moved cut of the War De-
partment. A man should be there who
will test the validity of the tenure Of Office
bill, should it become necessary. 1t is not
probable, however, that the Senate will be
in haste to champion Stanton. He has
been as treaeherous to the Jacobins as to

THE PRESIDENT JOKES FOREIaN
MISSION HUNTER.
From a Washington Lettel

From W Washington Letter.
Applicants for foreign missions are as
plentiful as blackberries just now. They
fill the hotels, and day and night take pos
session Of the ante-room to the executive
Office, where the great dispenser of patron
age sits patiently from 10 NJ. till close
on midnight. Gentlemen who are anxious
for few years abroad come with loads Of
recommendations, and are modest enough
to press their own claims in person. Last
night one of these patriots called upon the
President, accompanied by an influential
friend. The latter did the introduction, and
after few AOurishes of blarney and soft
sawder, remarked;
"Mr. President, this is young gentle
man who desires You to give him some~
thing abroad for few years. He considers
himself good representative of the con-
sentative people of New Jersey, who have
a majority in that little State of 10000"
To which the President replied-"He
certainly comes well recommended"
Influential gentleman smiling hopeful
ly-"Yes, sir; that II, 900 is a good recoms
mendation."
The President-"It is fine recommen-
dation, but think we ought not to reduce
that Il, 900 majority by sending the young
gentleman away He is more useful in
New Jersey than abroad"
The influential party and the young gem
ueman with foreign tastes smiled grimly
and departed"

A Large Fire-RepOrf Of the Revenue
COmmissiOner-Gen Gordon Gran
ger TO Succeed Major Gen. SWayne-
Relieved OF his Command. E
NEW York, Jan. IA dispatch from
Augusta, Maine, says: The Military
Asylum burned last night was a large
wooden building, formerly a hotel. II
contained not only rooms for the men and
officers quarters, but also the hospital
school room and library nearly adjoining.
1t was not the new brick building erected
IN the past summer, containing dining
and sleeping apartments. This building
was slightly damaged. The other build
ings saved were of wood, and are the
laundry, stable, four barns and two ice
houses. The hotel loss will reach, il is es-
timated, about $4,000. The fire caught
from some imperfection in the gas machin-
cry. There were go patients, eighty be-
ing in the hospital department. During
the fire barrel of whisky that was rolled
out and ordered to be destroyed, was taken
in charge by some of the soldiers who
could hobble about in state of intoxica-
ton, and in a very short time fights took
place between one armed and one legged
men. The scene in the laundry building
was one fearful to witness. Men fought
each other with the ferocity of demons.
They were so crazed by the liquor that
they had drank they obeyed nothing. Men
lay dead drunk in the snow, and could not
be aroused. One of these intoxicated
beings while being conveyed to this city
died from the effects of the cold. Teams
were sent out by the Mayor of this city,
and the patients brought here, where they
are quartered and cared for.
The Herald's Washington special SAYS
The report of Revenue Commissioner
Wells will be presented to Congress Tues

to it, as it discusses the financial and in
dustrial questions now before the country.

EmI0RANTs ron THE sOUTH.

The New York World Publishes Stats
tics, showing that the number Of emigrauts
arrived at that port during the year of 1867,
amounted 70 nearly 10000, an excess of
the arrivals Of the preceding year. The
emigranis from Germany has increased
fully 10000, while that from ireland is
about 5000 less than last year, and from
England the decrease amounts to about
1000. From other nations the emigration
is very much similar TO that of 1866.
The World says:
Most Of the Germans have found their
way TO the Western States, but the majority
Of the Irish have settled in this, Pennsyl-
wants, and the other Middle States. Very
few have gone to the South, though many
came 10 this country with the intention of so
doing, but the political state of the South,
elittle encouragement offered, and thedif-
hculues Of communicating with planters
wss such as 20 efiectually limit emigration.
Since, however the establishments Of the
Labor Bureau there are evidences that a
goodly part of the vast influx OF foreigners
will flow Southwark, especially when the
planters find they can procure white labor
from a reliable source. The Commissioners
Of Emigration, with a view to facilitate
communication between Southern en-
ployers and emigrants have taken consider
able pains to ascertain the character and
responsibility Of employment agents. not
only throughout the South, bui throughout
the entire Union.

ALBANY, Jan. 6.-Gov. Fenton's message
will be delivered to-day. He says the
State debt, over the sinking fund, is forty-
four million dollars All departments of
business and enterprise are prosperous.
The amount Of tax paid by the people is
about twenty-five dollars per head. The
real estate of the State has increased fifteen
per cent. in the last five years, and the
value of property in the State is 81 $780,
100000.
He favOrs the sustaining of the national
credit, and opposes the contraction of the
currency and opposes any attempt at the
forced payment of the debt, but favors
the postponement until the country has
recupeTated. He recommends the passage
of laws requiring fuller returns of personal
property an the State. The receipts frona
canals amount to four millions, and one
million was paid out to maintain them;
only eight hundred thousand has been paid
to the State during the year for war claims.
He refers to several internal State topics
and deVotes a strong argument against the
system of special legislation, which has
truly grown to an enormous extent. He
fully indorses negro suffrage, and holds
that at the fall of the Confederacy the
Southern States were deprived of all civil
government. President Johnson's course
is denounced and the action of Congress
commended.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

The New York Times gives the follow
ing singular case of mistaken identity as
occurring in enc of the courts of that city:
The case was one in which a certain
man was claimed by certain woman as
her husband. She brought evidence to
show that he had married her ten years
ago, that he had recognized her as his
wife, and that his name was Peterson. He
admitted his name, but denied the other
charges. Proof was brought that he was
not the same Peterson as the other And
on this point the testimony was really ex-
traordinary witnesses on one side swear
ing to circumstances that were utterly con-
Trajectory to those sworn to by the other !;
till finally there seemed no explanation
other than that it was case of mistaken
identity. For example, he was recognized
as the yeritable individual who married
her in 1857 by certrin marks on bis per-
SON. but he showed conclusively that
these marks did not exist on his body till
seven years after the alleged marriage,
when they were produced by surgical
operation performed ia this city. She
brought proof that he lived with her in one
place at the time he proved he lived a
thousand miles away from it. And so on
through this remarkable and complicated
trial. Now, though on ordinary principles
as ordinarily applied, We might sup pose
that the plaintiffs allegations aud evidence
would have been considered far more than
sufficient to condemn and compel the man
to accept and recognize her as his wife, he
was discharged from custody and she de-
parted without husband"

Chicago Times, says:
1t has been supposed by the outsiders
that E. b. Washburne was Gen Grants
political conscience-keeper This may
have been.true to some small extent in the
absence of Gen. Rawlings from this city on
a Western tour for the benefit of his health.
Since his return, however, the court of the
distinguished General has been divided
into two hostile factions-one led by Raw
lings, and the other by Washburne. Raw
lings just now has the inside track. He is
true to Grant personally, while Washburne
only cares for him as a means to advance
his party, and especially his own political
ends. Rawlings has latferly been putting
in his spoke in the Generals affairs,
much to the chagrin Of Washburne, who
thinks that Rawlings shoEld confne him
self to mere military duties, aud leave the
Generals political conscience in hisl W!s)
