Gen. Sheridan will succeed Gen. sherman
as Lieutenant General, an honor richcly de-
served.
Mr.. Sherman's bill is being pushed in the
Senate in the hope that it will pass both
houses this season.
General Grant gives it as his opinion that
one of the best Governors in the south is
General Clayton of Arkansas.
The remains of the traitors executed for
the murder of President Lincoln, are being
removed by orders issued by johnson.
The President will give his last reception
on the evening of the second of March, pre-
paratory to u complete evacuation OF the
premises next day.
The President of the United States has
accepted the office Of arbitrator upon q
boundary question which has arisen between
Great-Britain and Portugal, on the cost of
Africa
The residence at present occupied by
General Grant has been purchased by the
friends of General Sherman to be presented
TO him when lie becomes General, in Chief
in place Of General Grant.

Gen. Sheridan has once more proved that
he understands his business by the rapidity
with which he has ended the Indian war.
There is more humanity in his mode of
dealing with the subject than in that of all
the palaverirg Peace Commissioners. Now
we may hope to have q genuine peace on
the Plains, and if the Senate will complete
the work begun by the House, and pass the
bill transferring the care of the Indians to
the War Department, so that the savagcs
can be saved from the frauds and robberies
of politician agents, the problem of the red
mans capacity for civilization and honest
industry will at last be put in the way of a
satisfactory solution

GRANT AND TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY.-It
is stated on good authority that at recent
conversation between General Grant and a
prominent politician, the General spoke very
frankly of the efforts of certain of the Demo-
cratic papers to produce breach between
him ana the Republican party, and added
that any man who would undertake such a
task, after Andrew Johnson's attempt,
would be mailman indeed. The General
seems to understand the whole drift of the
opposition, and is evidently resolved to
cooperate heartily With the great party
which elected him

Gen. GRANT, on Saturday last, when ad-
dressing the Committee appointed by Con
grcss to notify him of his election, said that
"his policy as President should be economy,
rctrenchmcn., the honest collection Of the
public revenue and the payment of the ma
tional debt; and that if his appointces do
not do their duty be shall promptly remove
them" This is the true policy of the masses
of the Republican party, and that which
the nations vital interests now demand.
Our public affairs have been 50 shamclessly
and criminally administered under johnson,
that extravaganza and theft have become
the ruling idea with his subordnates. Gen.
Grants policy will cut the Gordon knot OF
our financial diflicultics-the great political
question Of the country. Let us have econ
omy, rctrcnchmeut, the collection of the
revenue and the payment of the public debt
inauGurated, and we shall have no Difficult
ties about returning to specie payments a
an early day. Grant evidently comprehend'
the situation, and in his quiet and deter
mined way means to redeem the natior
from its difficulties.

A BRAKEMAN SENTENCED. - Hamilton,
the brakeman, through whose negligence or
fright several persons were killed on the
Lehigh and Susquehanna railroad, last No
vember, has been tried and convicted in the
Luzcrnc county court and sentenced to thir
teen months solitary confinement at hard
labor in the Eastern Penitentiary. Hamilton
was hind brakeman of coal train, and his
offence was this; Going up steep grade the
train stopped to wood or water on star
ting, a coupling broke and several of the
detached rear cars commenced rapid des-
cent, when he, instead of applying his
brake, jumped off, and the deccuding cars
eoIIiGed with an approaching train, result
ting in the death OF Samuel Noble and
Others. This is the first case we remember
OF railroad employee being punished un.
der the act of Assembly providing that ''any
employee OF any railroad company, through
wnsse negligence or disobedience of orders
INJURY to life or property shall ensuc, shall
be punished by fine and Imprisonment"

EnsOsE WARRINGTON.

W ASHINGION, FEBRUARY ~.
There is a little doubt that before he goes
out Of office, President Johnson will finish
the business ofpardoning all persons convic,
ted of crimes growing out of The rebellion.
1t is expected that the pardons of the re.
naming assassination prisoners confined at
Dry TortuSas vii! soon be issued.
Ao[lc {r0ScQUeS under the amnesty procla-
nation have been ordered to be entered in
all pending indictments. All of the bodies
of the assassination conspirators, except
Payne, have been given up. IL is expected
this will be taken charge fby his friends.
The remains of Wirz, the Andersonville
iailor, will then be left alone in the trench at
the arsenal ground, but only because nobody
has applied for them.
The President yesterday granted the re-
quired permission to remove the bodies of
Wilkes Booth and At2erodt, out the neces-
sary orders were no: issued by the Secretary
of War until late in the afternoon. A little
hefore dark the bodies were disnterred.
AtZerodt was buried in Glenwood Cemetery
in the presence of his mother, brother, and
few other relatives Booth was taken 10
Baltimore to be deposited in Greenmont
Cemetery, near the grave of his father, Juni
Us Brutus Booth, the elder.
