SPECIAL TgIgeRAa TO rHE DIsPArcH.


/ WASHINGTON, February %, 1869.
| The Senate Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs to-day considered the Cushing Darien
Canal treaty, and came to favorable de-
cision. They will report in favor of ratif-
cation. The committee slso had UP the
Peru treaty claims since 1854 and Danish
treaty, but all these will necessarily go over
to the next session.
The passage Of the copper bill was upon
very close vote. Two members, Eldridge
and Getz, who would have voted against
the bill were absent temporarily when the
vote was taken. These two votes would
have sustained the veto, but it is said
Speaker Colfax would then have voted for
. the bill; go that the result would have been
finally just the same in effect as that which
| was to-day the case.
a report is in circulation, and beliered
by many congressman and others, that
President Johnson has said that as the
Senate will not act on his nominations he,
as retaliatory, will not sign any more bills
passed by Congress. There is not one word
Of truth in this report. Mr.. Johnson will not
only consider and sign such bills as maymeet
his approval, but will continue to nominate
officers in cases where necessary, and per-
form oil the duties of the Executive that
may be presented for his consideration up
to the closing hour Of his administration.
Whether the Senate deems it proper to post
pone action upon nominations or not will
not affect the course Of the President, who
proposes to discharge his duties without
reference to what other officials may or may
not do.
The usual crowd of visitors attended at
army headquarters this morning. A few
congressman and officers had interviews
with General Grant, but the greater portion
of the visitors were strangers calling to pay
their respects. -
1t is said that General Grant has COM
menced the preparation Of his inaugural
address. This report is probably without
foundation in fact. The General is doubt
less meditating the preparation of his in
augural, but those best qualified to judge
are of the opinion that but little time will
be required to write his address, as it will
be unusually brief, and directly to the point.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

No MILITARY OR NAVAL MEN TO GET
GARNET Pos1TroNs.-But though thus in
dorendent in his dealings with the politi-
IONS. General Grant is becoming quite free
IN conversations with his old friends.
Thus yesterday be had a long interview
with an old Connecticut acquaintance, o
gentleman who was his trusted and trusting
friend before ne had become the pet Of for
tune, and when, indeed, friends were scarce
and needed. In his communion with this
friend Yesterday General Grant appears to
have been more unreserved than usual. He
smoke freely Of his views on public ques-
tinrs and about his Cabinet. and, without
living names, stated the kind of persons
be should try to select. From this unfold
ing Of his views, which get in such way
as to leave no doubt as to their reliability, it
appears to he fxedthat no purely military or
naval man will be invited to s. seat in the
Cabinet. He remarked on that point that
he considered it would not be for the bene-
fit Of the Government, the army, or the
navy. to appoint IN army or navy officer
70 q Cabinet position. He regarded such
selections as detrimental to the military
and naval service, and not beneficial to the
civil branch Of the Government. 81 shall
invite civilians to FIJI all [Doubtful-M.
Dispatch the Cabinet POSITIONS" said Ge-
neral Grant, and if my selections should
no; prove iudicious in the first instance,
shall feel myself justified in correcting the
mistake by making a second or third selec-
ton if necessary" These are said to be
almost literally his words, and bear out his
uttcrance to the congressional committee
that waited on him the other day. This
would seem to set at rest the stories in cir
culaton as to the certain appointment Of
Schofcld and Porter respectively to the d.
rcc,on Of the War and Navy Departments.

EVIDENCES OF A COMING SToRM.--Grant' g
response to the congressional committee
that informed him of his election shows
that in the matter Of the selection Of his
constitutional advisers ne does not intend
10 be dictated to or embarrassed by any Of
the customary influences. He indicates
plainly enough that he wants to be let alone
on that subject; that he does not invite
advice from any quarter; and that, in fact,
he will regard volunteer contributions in
that line as simply impertinent. Of course
he did not say this 60 plainly as | put it !;
but it is undoubtedly what he meant, and
what the leaders Of the Republican party
believe he intended 70 convey. l say they
believe it, but they do not at all relish it.
Some Of them already say he is mounting
100 high horse, putting on too many airs,
and treating with contempt the old and
tried statesmen Of the country. Is he any
better, quo,h they, than former Presidents,
that he scorns to consult with senators and
representatives whose fidelity to the Union
has been tried over and over sgain, whose
wisdom has been acknowledged on all
hands, and whose honesty is above sus-
Pciou
This evidence of modification and disap-
po;mment on the part Of some of the old
leaders, and the bulk Of them at that, bodies
a coming storm. There is q rumblipg in
the political elements that pretty certainly
indicates o numbering time ahead-a thun-
icr.ug that cannot remain pent up l2ng
after the 4th pr0Xim0.- Correspondence

Methodist church in Morrisania, near New

about 8 o'clock in the morning: The
church was new, and had been recently
dedicated. The steeple was built Of the
patent American brick and imitation free
stone. The accident vas attributed by
some to the action of the frost causing con-
traction of the building, and by others to
the imperfect material, the brick having
crumbled to pieces. Loss, $4,000.

that man progresses by short advances,

Radicals, in and out of Congress, deserve
who have risked the whole future of Ameri-

degraded slaves Of the South, the aggre-
gate of advances which have marked
through many ages the progress Of the Cau-
casian race from tribal servitude in the
East up to universal suffrage in the West ?"

GENERAL GRANTS STATF.-On the 9TH OF
March next, when General Grant ceases to
be commander Of the army, or sooner, II
he should resign before that time, the com.
mand will devolve upon Lieutenant-Ge
W..P. Sherman, the next in rank, and all OF
General Grants officers will formally ten
der their designations.
If General sherman should not reappolnt
them, General Rawlings will still remain
brigadier- general lit is believed that he
will be nominated to some good civil posi-
tion): General Badeau will fall back on his
commission as first lieutenant OF the fourth
infantry; General Porter will fall back to
major OF the Ordnance Department; Gem
eral Comstock will be major of the engi-
neer corps General Babcock viii be also
major in the engineer corps; Colonel Par
ker will be first lieutenant Of the second
cavalry; General Dent will become major
o! the fourteenth infantry, but will, it is
thought, 60 with the President TO the White
House; Colonel Leet will continue as major
in the Adiutant- Generals Department, and
Colonel Webster will be assigned to some
important post in the Quartermaster's De-
partment, if not retained by General Sher-
man, which is more than probable WaSh-
