GENERAL GRANTS prEseH AND CABt-
NET Washington, February l5.-The
comments on General Grants speech and
on Cabinet matters still continue. The
politicians and offioe-Beekers who have
gathered here for the past few weeks, in the
hope that they might learn something which
would cnable than to make their arrange
t.ncnss In advance, are greatly Disguised
SGT of people. Three weeks more Of dis
consulate waiting and high board bills is a
heavy load for them.
General Grant, however, is not quite so
reluctant in talking about men named for
Cabinet positions as many suppose, but he
chooses very discreet class Of men % his
listeners. Heremarked, in conversation at
his own house, on Saturday evening, in
commenting upon some speculation Of the
newspapers, that there would be no two
men in tho Cabinet from the same State,
nor any man Who aid not give thorough
support to the Government during the war,
nor any man who bad not thoroughly SYM
pathized with the spirit that had preserved
the Government since the war. As result
of some recent discussions of names for
Cabinet positions, it may be said that GER
tain persons heretofore prominently mem
toned BY the press will not be included in
the selection. Among these are Charles
Francis Adams, J. Lcthrop Motley, Henry
Wilson, and B. F. Wade. General Grant
speaks highly of many gentlemen in his
conversation, but he gives no indication Of
his decisions.-Specia! dispatch TO the Neo

Boz sMlrH. Sol Smith, the veteran actor
and theatrical manager, who died, in st.
Louis, at the age Of sixty-eight years, was
born in Oswego county, N. Y. Wandering
westward early in life, he learned the trade
Of printer in Louisville. There he joined an
amateur dramatic society, and afterwards
became connected with strolling company
of actors. After years Of hard service and
small pay he attained to the positions Of
leading actor, Z" STAR" and manager.
Having accumulated during his long career
vast fund of anecdotes and information
concerning theatres, actors, and other dis

from time to time many queer and accepta-
BILE stories to the press, he at last sat down
and wrote the story Of his life. His book

VARIOUS ITEMS.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE secre'
tary of War directs that no Refreshments
of soldiers detailed as clerks be made.
The friends of General Sherman are
raising 100000 for him.
1t is again stated that the Senate Judi
ciary Committee are about reporting q
Virginia bill by which the people of that
State will be allowed to vote for or against
the DISTINGUISHING clause separately from
the constitution.
There have been sl,2O9,000 in bonds
issued to the Union Pacific Railroad. This
completes the thousandth mile.
The Senate Judiciary Committee report
that after careful examination Of the sub
iect they have no hesitation in coming to
the conclusion that the Presidents procla--
nation of December last was wholly beyond
the constitutional power of the President,
and that it can have no efficiency to the end
sought to be reached by it. The Constitu-
ton permits him to grant reprieves and
pardons, but no pardon and amnesty.
They argue to show that amnesty Is a
larger power than pardon, operating upon
the crime instead of the criminal, and et-
fecting restoration and restitution ab 'nltso,
instead of merely RENTING unexecuted
punishment and proceeding, like what is
called a general pardon, not from the Exc
cutive, be ne king or president, but from the
Government-the sovereign power, which
in England was the King, in and with
his Parliament, as in the United States II
is the Congress acting with the approval OF
the President, or by a two-thirds vote with
out it. The committee submit the following
resolution for adoption:
Resolved, That in the opinion Of the
Senate the proclamation of the President o.
the United States of December rs, 1868,
purporting to grant pardon and amnesty tc
all persons guilty Of treason and acts Of
hostility to the United States during the
late rebellion, with restoration Of rights,
&c., &c., was not authorized by the Consti'
tuition or laws"

PROPOSED RECEPTION OF Mr.. JOHNSON
IN NAsHvILLE.-A meeting Of German
citizens was held last night, at which Jacob
Steifel WAS president and ,Theo. Trarer-
nict secretary, for the Purpose Of taking
the preliminary steps toward giving Andrew
Johnson reception when (having retired
from the arduous duties which devolye upon
the President of these United States) he
shall make his advent into Nashville in the
garb Of private citizen. A committee Of
five, consisting of Messrs. S.Sickels, Charles
sohlich, George Plinkle, John Hess, and r.
D. Blum, were appointed to inform the
press of the city of this action.
The idea IL, We believe, to tender the ex.
President a banquet in the courthouse, and
aiterward, or perhaps before; to treat him
to the spectacle Of torch-light procession
No doubt the festivities proposed would be
highly enjoyed by Mr.. Nashville

WELLER's VINEYARD.-A correspondent

WELLER's VINEYARD.-A correspondent
of the Warrenton Living Present, who has
been on o visit to Halifax county, n. c.,
thus speaks of this valuable vineyard:
"While in Halifax l went over to We'll
ler's Vineyard, which is now in the hands
of DR.. F. M. and his brother, MIR. G. w.
Garrett. This is valuable piece of pro-
perty, and in good hands. These gentle
;ncn are busily engaged fixing the old vines
end planting new ones. They found about
FNo vines there, have planted $500, and
intend planting 1000 or 5000 more. They
-ill make, when the new vines commence
bearing, perhaps 10000 gallons of wine.
This will be worth three dollars per gallon.
Thus you see something to drink does
sometimes pay. They are also setting out
apple, pear, and peach trees, and are rails
ing vegetables for the New York market.
In fruit there is difference of FIVE weeks
sine between Delaware and this State-an
advantage which We should seize. Farm
ers on the line of the railroads would do
we'll, I should think, to act as gardeners for
New York. Vegetables bring a good price,
and onions, potatoes, etc., sell in any guam
tities,, Er
