AuERICANsIarnIsoSE51Ss SYRIA

A letter received IN Washington from
Syria, dated Oct Il, states that recently
n party Of Englishmen and two Ameri-
cans we're charged with having struggled
arms into the interior for the purpose Of
OyerthrOwing the government Of the Sui
tan and placing it in the hands Of the
Pacha, who had Just lost his succession
to the vicerOyaity Of Egypt The accused
parties claim to have been surveying .
new railroad route, and that their arms
were for che purpose Of defending their
employees At the date Of the letter they
were imprisoned at Damascus. The
American Consul general for Syria, and
Palestine had sent his consular clerk to
the city to demand the release Of the
Americans and their delivery to him for
trial, according 10 the provisions Of ex-
isting treaties. The Ottoman authorities,
frightened at what they supposed to be q
reasonable plot thus far had refused to
release the prisoners. The English cons
sui seemed somewhat Indifferent to the
fate Of his own eOIntFymen. Oar Con-
sui General was endeaVOring, while show
ing all proper respectiDr the Turkish gov-
eminent, 70 give the American prisoners
such aid and counsel as was proper The
consular clerk was sent 10 the Turkish
Governor General az Damascus, and it
vas supposed thar, as he had experience
in arranging similar difficulties at Joppa
and Jerusalem, his present errand in be-
half of his cOuntrymen would be success
fu without the necessity Of re5Orting to
formal diplomatic proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The idea pre-
valent that Gen. Grant is always taciturn
is quite erroneous. There are persons with
whom be converaes freely on politics as all
other topics. To-day in an interview with
a friend he said he thought the result of the
election had salutary effect on the
country, and that already it was quieling
down. He apprehended no trouble
in the future, and believed the con-
dition Of the country will soon show inn
provement. He said he was DESTROYS Of
peace, but that SO far "a he was concerned,
the rights Of all classes of people and COM
munitics should be respected. Also, refer
ring incidentally TO the fourteenth constitu-
tional amendment, he said after next ceu-
sus, in accordance with its provisions, Ken
lucky and Maryland would suffer loss Of
representation if they refused to allow nc
groes the right of suffrage. Il will be a
bitter pill for them" continued the Gen

Senator called upon Gen. Grant for his
advice. The General frankly stated that
he was utterly opposed to placing mill

peculiar circumstances, he thoughtthe rule
might be departed from. This fact was
very recently stated as proof that the
epauls cited gentry are to be excluded at
least from the Cabinet, and effsctusily dis
