President Grants Visit to IauraI,
Maryland.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore San,
writing fIom Laurel, Nd, gives the follow
Ing account Of the visit Of President Grant
to that place on Saturday:
Our usually quiet little town was thrown
into no small degree Of curiosity this morn
ing by the announced arrival among US of
General Grant, wife and two children, who
came In special car from Washington at
twenty minutes past ten O'Clock. General
Grant and family were met at the depot by
DR.. Sharpe, his brother-in-law now marshal
Of the District Of Columbia, and escorted
on foot to Mrs. Hunters select boarding
establishment, near ut hand, at which house
DR.. Sharpe and family now board.
The President ran down here to obtain a
brief respite from the pressing duties pertain.
ing to his position. That these duties have
been oncrous In the extreme Is clearly ap.
parent from the careworn and overworked
appearance Of the General. But amid all
enough to take the world as easily as POSI-
Bile, and in the plainest and most quiet
manner submit to the DEGREES Of the people.
After partaking Of lunch, In company with
DR.. Sharpe and family, he walked through
| the village, the observed Of all. His lrs,
| visit was to the mills Of Mr.. Tiffany, where
he had the pleasure Of witnessing both tn,
| cneisy anu Deuuty oi many young laules en-
gagged therein, and after satisfying himsel
as to all worth seeing, and In which h
seemed to take a lively interest, he passe,
out and paid a visit to the public school o
this place. The children-about one hun
dred and eighty-were here congregated Ii
full Sunday costume and holiday spirits I,
meet the President. The Presidential part,
was received by the teachers present, VIII;
soon arranged the programme, which con
sisted Of singing only, and after little hand
shaking and no speaking the party brok
ranks and the President proceeded to hi
headquarters, at Mrs. Hunters. After
general smoke all round, a sumptuous cola
ton, in the way Of an extra Smack" wa
served up by Mrs. Harrison, which eyl
denced her taste In such matters. The en-
tire party returned to Washington on Al
early train, in a special car. On dit, Gene
raj Granite youngest son will remain her
during the summer for his health.

After watching very carefully the practical

culties which environ 1t, and which are In
separabIe from 1t, VIC arc convinced that
there must DC some change, that something

AS II Is, Senators and Representatives
make oil the appointments, and no man
stands any chance, whatever DO his quali6.
cations as business man, a politician, OIL
capacity us clerk, unless he be strongly
backed by influential Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes. The consequence Is, that all tn
Departments are thronged by Congressmei
beseeching the President and Secretaries tc
appoint their friends.
Mr.. Trumbull never uttered truer word
han this when he said, sit was time to end
the farce OF gravely considering nomina'
lions which Senators had previously exerted
all their powers to have made"
Mr.. Fessonden also made some telling and
pointed remarks upon this head. He said
that "senators had come to be merely agents
TO get offices for their constituents" and he
thought that they "must continue on In this
capacity, or else be dislodged by more oblig.
ing members OF the other House."

The New COMMISSIONER or PAgSTa-
Hon. s. s. Fisher, the new Commissioner OF
Patents, was qualified yesterday and entered
upon the duties Of his office. He was visited
by the clerks of his department, and they
were introduced to him severally by Mr..
Grinnell, the chief clerk. Mr.. Fishers first
official act, or rather acts, was TO sign about
three hundred papers for patents to bcissucd
tomorrow.
The Scientific american, paper well quail
flied to speak upon this subject, says Of Mr..
Fishers appointment:

A MIsCoSsTRUCTIos.-Th announcement
that the office hours at the White House
would be from 0 q. m. TO Up. m, seems to
have been construed to signify that the Pres
ident would receive visitors at any time be-
tween those hours. This is a mistake the
President receives no visitors except by spc-
cial appointment, at any hour other than
between 10 a. IN. and IL m. During these
hours he will receive general visitors, unless
his time should happen to be occupied by ur-
gent public business, which cannot well be
postponed.

this they ask renewed excrtIons on the part

THE FOREIGN MIssroSs.-The President
has under consideration at present the ques-
tion of filling the important offices, particu-
larry the foreign missions, the nominations
to which failed In the late executive session,
owing to reflections or other causes. Spain,
Belgium, Sweden, Brazil and Ecuador COM
prise the missions which are to be Allied.
Mr.. Sanford will probably remain at Bel
GUM. General sickles' friends are pressing
his appointment for the Spanish mission,
and his chances tonight are better than
those Of any other candidate. The pressure
in favor of General Piles appointment Is so
great that he will probably be sent 10 some
place less important than Brazil.
