General Grant on Reconstruction.

Senator Pool, as we'll other gentlemen
who accompanied him to army headquarters
on Wednesday, discovered that General Grant
was entirely willing to hear advice and in
formation on every subject, but disposed, ex-
cept in one or two matters, to furnish his own
views in return. On the general subject,
however, of reconstruction at the South, he
had no hesitation in saying that in his opinion
the State of North Carolina, Virginia and
Alabama were the three best practically re-
constructed of the entire ten. There was
more observance of law and order and bet
ter disposition existing between the black and
white races and between the POLITICAL parties
in these States than in any other. This he
declared lie knew from extensive and reliable
Information, and he had TO doubt whatever if
political incendiarism was put at rest, the
other seven States would very soon settle
down to u model condition of civil order and
harmony. lie said it was the South. and al
most the South alone, that filled his thoughts
when he made use of the expression in his
letter "J.ct us have peace" If the disorder
and agitation in that section could only be at
once and forever disposed of, there were no
fears to be apprehended for the rest Of the
country The South had always been a source
of anxiety to the nation; but there was every
prospect now that it would soon become as
tranquil and prosperous as any other section
exclaimed the General, "the United States
will be the strongest and happiest country on
the globe - Wash. Cor. ". Y. Herald.

Items from Washington.

General Butler said in tho House the
other day, 81 take back nothing" lie
should be compelled to "takc back" those
spoons.
Speaker Colfnz will resign his Speaker
ship twenty four hours before the expiration
of the present Congress- on account of duties
connected with the Inauguration. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. Pomeroy, of New York, will
receive the fecting honors of the gavcl for
the remainder Of the term.
General Grant gives assurances to sew
oral army friends that, in case army veterans
are mustered out of service, owing to the
passage of certain bills now pending, he shall
give all such good civil positions.
tbs announced from Washington that
the decision of the Supreme Court, in New
York, to the effect that a contract made for
coin must be paid, applies only to contracts
made prior to the passage Of the legal tender
acts.
- The Washington Republican says that
'it is now evident that the Fortieth Congress
can do nothing further towards perfecting re-
construction in Virginia, Mississippi, Texas
and Georgia, and therefore all the questions
which need further Legislation to perfect the
work IN these States must go over to the next
Congress, which meets on March 4th Cen
Grant may give his views upon this subject"
In the House of Representatives, on
Monday, Mr.: Robinson, of New York, in
troduced joint resolution recognizing the in

decisive vote.

Mrs. Andrew johnson.

Mrs. johnson, confirmed invalid, has new
er appeared in society in Washington. Her
very existence is myth to almost every one.
She was at last seen at party given to her
grand children. She never was seated in one
of the republican court chairs, dainty affair
of satin and ebony. She did not rise when
the children, or older guests, were presented
to her; she simply said: "My dears am
an invalid" and her sad, pale face and sunken
eyes proved the expression. Mrs johnson
looks much older than the President, and her
age does exceed his by few swings of the
scythc of time. She was never beautiful but
an observer would say, contemplating her,
"a noble woman-God's first best gift to man"
Perhaps it is we'll to call to mind at this time
that it was this woman who taught the Presi-
dent to read after she became his wife and
that in all their earlier years she was his
counselor, assistant and guide. None but
wise and good mother could have reared such
daughters as Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Slower
When Mrs Senator Patterson found herself
the''first lady in the land" she made this re-
mark, which has been the key note of the
feminine department of the White House
from that cventful day to the present time ::
eve are plain people, from the mountains of
Tennessee, called here for short time by a
national calamity. trust too much will not
be expected of u.s. Chicago Rep

This was in 170S. A Century later, in 1908,

for heating his family mansion. In the year

States not less than one million Of dollars"
1t is stated in the dispatches and letters
from Washington that Gen. Grant has pub
licly made the important statement that his
Cabinet would be composed entirely OF evil
ians To Senator Thayer and other members
of Congress he said he would offer the position
of Secretary of War to General Schoheld, who
would probably decline the appointment and
return to his position in the army. He then
added that he would not appoint army or
navy officers to Cabinet positions, but clVllans.
