TIE GRADE OF GENERAL AND OTHER GRADES
Washington special to the World says: Wilson
is very much troubled by the reception the mill
tary committee, Of which he is chairman, gives 20
bis last bill to regulate the grade OF general and
other grades. Thus far he Is the only man on the
committee in favor Of the absurdity. Its essen.
tial features were teegraphed yesterday in these
dispatches. The creation of three lieutenant gen.
erals is intended to advance Meade, Thomas and
Sheridan, the generalship going 10 Sherman in
order to leave Hancock and Halieck, particularly
the former lower In rank than the first three, now
only major generals, TOO, who are supposed to
deserve Radical recognition in proportion as they
fall In professional repute by lending themselves
70 the worst phases Of reconstruction. Wilson
has also moved TO dispense with psrades and in
spections upon the Sabbath day, and other impos-
sible moralities. The whole bill is regarded as a
tissue OF the rankest nonsense extant, even in
Congress, and the clause providing for the dismiss
sal OF officers prone TO intoxicating liquors, while
1t only reiterates an army regulation Is construed
as wanton slap ct high officer whom Tilton.
Phillips and Greeley have been pursuing for the
same alleged weakness.

Mr.. Camp opposed the roads passage along

President Joha.on'. Future.

Few Of our presidents have ever retired from
the White House with less of real regret than
will accompany Mr.. Johnson's farewell on the
4th Of March. And with equal truth il may be-
said that few, in retiring. have ever better de-
served the thanks and good wishes of the Ameri-
can people for sincerity OF purpose and an hon.
est desire 10 Administer the Office for the best
interests of the country. In saying which, l do
not mean to be understood as expressing the be-
lief that the United States has never had better
president; bat that judged by the purity of his
motives and his unselhsh intentions TO do his
duty, he far surpasses any OF our recent execu-
tives. That he hes committed great errors he
himself will, suppose, not be disposed TO deny
II could hardly have been otherwise with man
surrounded by the adverse circumstances that
have beset him since the beginning Of his admins
tration. For some of these he is responsible, "a
for what may be called the father CT them
all, which was the failure TO surround himself
with cabinet OF strong, vigorous men. 10 hearty
accord with him, instead OF retaining the evil
counselors OF bis predecessor But IL is easier TO
crticise now than il would have been to act then.
Judging his administration as q whole, the con-
servative people OF the country must indOrse it
and thank him for IL.
In q former letter intimated that IL was the in
tention of the conservative party in Tennessee to
nominate Mr.. johnson next fall for governor
This understand now to be fully determined upon.
Little doubt Is entertained OF his election. At any
rate, he has always been extremely popular in
Tennessee. He knows the people there and they

honestly devoted to their interests. do not
know who will be his competitor in the race, but
probably some carpetbag scrub from Massa-
chusetts or some Radical convert of the Stokes
pattern, who wanted him hung in 1851 for being
Union man. If elected governor, he will IN
doubtedly be chosen TO the Senate in the place of
Fowler, whose term expires in 1S7l and then we
may look for lively times in that chamber OF gilt
edged imbecility and loyal CANNON. It will be
worth while to go 10 some trouble TO elect A. j.
a IN vi
dictate himself and his administration, which un-
derstand to be his sole object in remaining in
public life after the 4th of March. His natural
com bativeness, not always In place when exhbi-
ted from the Presidential Mansion, will have full
vent In the Senate debates. and know enough of
what il is in mis- power TO expose TO promise rich
developments IN his bouts" with some of the
leading Radicals. He will exhibit some of the
recent inner workings of the Radical party to the
intense delight of all but the Radicals. SO let
every conservative man in Tennessee and else
where put his shoulder to the wheel and give A.
]. all the help he can to get him into the Senate.

ofthe hypocrites in that body "then am l a soused

PARTICULARS OF THE LAST BLOW AT THE IL

PARTICULARS OF THE LAST BLOW AT THE M
DIASs.-A Washington dispatch says:
Gen. Sherman telegraphs that Col. Evanss COM
msnd, after marching twenty-four days in snow
and intensely cold weather, without tents of any
kind, on Christmas day entered large village Of
Camanche Indians of sixty lodges, Just south of
the junction of Salt Fork with Elm creek, which
was totally destroyed. The Indians attacked his
advance, but were driven from their village with
loss of everything it contained, the women and
children escaping by being put hurriedly on the
horses OF the warriors, In some cases as many as
four on one horse. The village was very rich,
containing over five tons of buffalo meat, 1000
bushels of corn, also -four, meal, coffee. sugar,
soap, cooking utensils, mats, porfiech robes aud
the psraphernalia OF a rich Indian town. The In
dams kept up the lighting during the day, and the
next morning there was not much fight Ia them.
Three enlisted men we're wounded, one mortsly.
TIE number Of Indians killed IL unknown. Col.
Evans took the main trail again the 26th, which
led west, but being out of provisions, except
beef, had to give il up.

CITY TOPICS.

rustic looking individual, one day recently,
entered large establishment for the sale of ready
made clothing in this city, and asked to be shown
some unmentionsbles, with view to the selec.
ton Of that pair which should. in his opinion, be
most becoming. Finally selecting what be
wanted, he repaired to the private room in the
back part of the store, and in an incredibly
short time was inside of the bran new garment.
There happened to be number of people 10 the
store about that time, and their presence engross-
ing the attention of the sslesmen, the rustic look.

The bill Incorporating the Ship Island Canal
Company was again up in the lower house yester-
day. There was considerable debate upon it, in
the course Of which Speaker Lowell took the
floor, earnestly advocating the passage of the
bill. Mr.. Noble, of Orleans, spoke against it. No
definite action was taken, the committee of the
whole. in which the debate took place, rising
and merely reporting progress. In the course of
the discussion Hon. Murrell, better known
as the wild boy Of Lsfourche, asserted
that mythical somebody" had offered

zen. GRANT ON TEXAS AND THE CONVENTION.
The Galveston News of the ed says: Washington
letters declare that Gen. Grant has directly inter.
Tered against the division Of the 6tate-that he
has written letter TO Gen. Candy, instructnx
HIM TO notify the convention that ii had assem-.
bled under the provisions Of the reconstruction
laws to frame Constitution for the State, not tc
divide it. Gen. Grant is said to have remarked
that he thought one Texas was amply sufficient TO
have on hand for the present; and that, from re-
ports, he might well doubt whether that one was
altogether prepared for civil government.
This last Is grand idea. Every man of sense
knows that military government il utterly incapa-
ble-that 10 this State II is the cause Of all our
evils--that the character and source of those
evils are falsely represented by the reports 10
which Gen. Grant alludes; and yet. under such
circumstances, to doubt whether State Ia ft for
civil rule. when that Is the very thing IL needs ss
the cure for all troubles is, in our opinion, rather
q condescension, on the part Of Gen. Grant 10 the
prejudices of his party than fair representation
Of his own Judgment.
