Grant and Lee.

The conference between the Presi-
dent and Gen. Lee, at the White
House yesterday, was longer than
has been reported, lasting nearly an
hour. While the interview was ut q
polite and courteous character, there
was manifested on the part Of each
certain reserve, and there was the
utmost dignity preserved. No refer
ence was made to their relative posi-
tons during the war, but after the
exchange of personal civilities the
conversation turned on the condition
of the South and the present aspect
of affairs in Virginia. General Lee
made several suggestions at the re-
quest of the President respecting the
submission Of the new Constitution
to the vote of the people, and thot
it important that they should have
the right TO a separate vote on the
DISTINGUISHING clause, and that there
should be separate votes on clauses
affecting the local interests, when
railroads and other internal improve
ments are to be made. Gen. Lee IA
vors the Fifteenth Amendment, and
approves the action Of the recent
Conservative Convention at Rich
mond. He does not believe that the
reimbursement OF the negroes will
work such prodigious harm as has
been predicted by some men North
and South. He holds that it is of the
first Importance that not only Vir-
ginia, but all tho Southern States,
should be in practical accord with
the Federal Government, and have
full representation in both Houses of
Congress, and when that is effected,
all collateral and minor questions
will adjust themselves satisfactorily.

How Washburne Beat Wilson
of Iowa, out Of the Secreta-.
ryShip of State.
From the N. Y. SUM-

u
The editor of the Chicago Tribune
says that he has "scen letter from
President Grant, in which it is sta
ted that Mr.. James f. Wilson was
invited to scat in his Cabinet, and
that he (tho Prosident) deeply re.
GREETED that Mr.. Wilson, for reasons
of his own, was constrained to de-
cline it."
The facts in this business were
partly reported the other day by
ono Of our contemporaries in this
city, and that report, taken in con-
nection with the above extract,
gives tolerably complete history of
one of the most curious affairs ever
known In our politics. "
President Grant desired to have
the Hon. James F. Wilson for his
Secretary of State. He offered him
the place, and it was accepted. Then
Mr.. Washburnc, being Mt the time
quito sick, asked General Grant to
nominate him to tho Office, SO that
he could go to France as ambassador
with more ecldt. 1t was to DO q
mere compliment, which he was 70
decline; but the parties forgot that
they were dealing with one Of the
chief offices Of the American people.
However, as nothing but compli-
ment was intended, Mr.. Wilson re-
luctantly consented to it, to oblige
the President, and Mr.. Washburne
was nominated. Instead of declining
however, he accepted and entered
upon his duties at the State Depart
mont. Hereupon Mr.. Wilson went
to the President and told him that
he could not take the Office; Mr..
Washburne had always been his en-
envy, had prosecuted him constantly,
and done him all possible injury
therefore he would not receive o place
which Mr.. Washblrne had occupied,
From this resolution no arguments
could move him, and SO Mr.. Fish was
finally appointed Secretary OF
State.
Thus it was that Mr.. Washburne
managed to keep his antagonist on,
of tho State Department, and saved
himself the modification of receiving
his Instructions from man he doesn',
love. We have seen good many
smart things in political intrigue, bu
never bolder or more successful
mareuvre than this of the former
member for the Galena District
Whether General Grant feels him
self obliged by it has not yet ap
peared.

MY Wife's Such a Fidgety Thing.

1t is just you say, neighbor Green,
treasure indeed, is my wife;
Such another for hustle and work
have never found in my life.
But then she keeps every one else
As busy birds on the wing:
There is never moment for rest;
She is such fdgety thing.
She makes the best bread in the town,
Her pies are perfect delight:
Her coffee q rich golden brown;
Her crullers and puddings just right.
But then, while cat them, she tells
OF the care and worry they bring;
OF the martyr like toll she endures;
Oh, she's such fdgety thngi
Ny house is as neat as \ pin;
You should how the door handles shine;
And all Of the soft cushioned chairs,
And nicely swept carpets arc mne.
But then she SO frets at the dust,
At fly, at a straw, or a string,
That stay out of doors all can;
She is such idgety thing
She doctors the neighbors, Oh yes;
il child has the measles or croup.
She is there with her saffrons and squills,
Her dainty made gruels and soup.
But then she insists on her right
To physc my blood in the spring.
And she takes the whole charge of my bile;
Oh, she is such fdgety thingl
It's just as you say, neighber Green,
treasure to me has been given;
But sometimes fain would be glad
To lay up my treasure in heaven!
But then every life has its cross,
Most pleasures on earth have their sting;
She's treasure, know, neighbor Green,
But she's such a fdgety thing

that their loss is his gil, and thai,
from all suffering, he beckons them

1t is with pleasure that we note the work
of Improvement which has been begun in
our town, by our act We and energetic Town
Council. We spent the greater portion of the
afternoon, last Sunday, perambulating the
various streets, and were pleased to see
that most Of our mud holes had been worked
upon, and our own beginning to look as
it did in days of yore when peace and plen-
ty smiled upon the LAM. While much has
been accomplished, there remains vet much
to be done, and we hope that our Mayor
will not stop the good work until our streets
Shall once more be what nature intended
But while we give praise to those who
deserve it, we must at tie same time censure
some one, for the condition in which our
cemeteries are kept. Haze our community
forgotten that respect which is due the dead,
and have those who have loved ones lying
in the narrow confines Of the grave, aban.
doned all idea Of even keeping clean their
family spots. Instead of the floral bower
which so sacred a place should be, it has
become a wilderness of weeds and briers.
How long will civilized and christian peo-
pie thus let the spirits of the dead mingle
together in a place which heatheus would
blush to own.
