MASS. AND MISS.

The New York Commercial AdUertj
scr, Republican, has correspondent in
Washington who writes as follows:
ga most extraordinary phenomenon
met my gaze this morning, while stand
ing upon the steps of the Capitol. II had
the form of a human being, and, as l
contemplated it / was forced to acknOwl-
edge that some of US are indeed fearfully
and wonderfully made. 1t wore cream
colOred pants, tightly strapped over gilt
tering patent-eather boots, which, so far
as size went, might have been intended
for a Cardiff Giant. 4 buff waistcoat,
adorned with green glass buttons, and worn
high in the neck, was crowned by pink
satin scarf, whose folds disclosed an en-
erald Of colossal proportions. An
English cut-away coat of brown
hue, the side-pOckets of which
were hidden beneath huge laps, added
not little to the grotesquenessO of this ap-
partition, while bran new beaver, set
jauntily upon one side of its head, tas-
seled bamboo carried negligently beneath
the left arm, and white cambria hand
kercbief, with an enormous red border,
conspicuously displayed in close pro-
pinquityto the pink satin scarf, completed
the external decorations Of the phenome-
non. 1t approached me with an air of
restless curiosity and said:
please, sab, has Mr.. Charles Sumner
passed in YETI
''Not having seen the Massachusetts
Magnus Apollo that morning, | signiied
that so far as my personal knowledge went
Mr.. Charles Sumner had not passed in
IF you please, sab, should you see
him, be kind enough TO say that Mr.. Rev

wish particularly to see him. Saying
which, with few rapid strides, it disap-
peared He had not been gone two min
utes when | beheld the majestic figure of
Chawles' cautiously approaching, as if
momentarily expecting to see some one
whom he would avoid. He stopped be-
hind one of the pillars of the portico and
peeped warily out, evidently bent on re-
connoitering the ground. Perceiving that
the coast was clear, he advanced, and TAX
ing my hand with much agitation, said:
Have you seen Mr.. ReVels ?
81 informed him that had.
"'Thank Heaven, then, I've escaped
him for once'
"By no means, said ]. sHe is at this |

SPEAKING Of the documents sent to
Congress by the President on the 14th
inst, showing the action in the case Of
Georgia under the last reconstruction act,
the Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Commercial says: "They
show that Terry submitted great many
questions as to his power in premises, and
that the President and Gen. Sherman fully
Endorsed his views and said they would
sustain him in case Of any authority and
that they would maintain order in the
State until it was recognized by Congress.
In many cases where Terry asked for in
structions, he was directed TO use his own
discretion. The military inquiry that he
ordered into the eligibility of certain
members, was carefully considered 10y
the President and his cabinet and by them
sustained" 1t thus appears that the
Grant administration sustained all of
Terry's usurpations.

a CURIOUS case is being argued before
the District Court at Washington. a
woman has sued a Confederate officer for
having in 1861 arrested and imprisoned
her, and 10y which Imprisonment for two
or three years her health was impaired.
She claims damages at S35, 600. The de-
PENDANT puts in the plea that at the time
be was in the service of the Confederate
States, filling the position of Provost Mar
shal, and that the act complained of was
under and by order Of the commander of
the army, Gen. Beauregard. To this
plea the plaintiff filed a demurrer and this
demurrer is being argued.

THE AGRTCULTURAL COLLEGE
SCRIP

1t has been ascertained that the State
lost considerably over one hundred thous-
and dollars in the sale of The Agricultural
College scrip. Il was sold as we are in
formed to a Nj. Lewis, of Cleveland
Ohio, at the rate Of 90 cents per acre.
There were 3O0,O 900 acres. This brought
S271, S75. Upon the day this sale was
made TO Mr. Lewis, the same scrip was
selling in Chicago at 81 80 per acre. At
this rate the $1,000 acres would have
brought S45O,OOO. If this Is the best
that Radical management can do for the
State, all should deplore a return to that
