3 IA startling exhibit has recently been
made at Washington that is well calculated 10
excite tie surprise and indignation OF the
;, American people. It has been ascerta,neo,
from authentic documents, that Grant and his
Cabinet have been absent from the seat OF

I formers Inauguration, on the fourth DAY Oh
March, 1869; during all of which period they
regularly Re drew pay from the treasury OF the
j United States, while frollcking, junketlDg
and neglecting the public business.
AZ last the Geneva Court Of Arbitration
has evolved figures from facts, and In round
about way, with more OF. less claim upon our
credence, comes the report that the damages
In the cases of the cruisers Florida and Alaoa-
ma have been set down at seven million hVe
hundred thousand dollars. There appears to
he little doubt that the case OF the Florida has
been passed upon, and damages awarded on
the ground that the British Government did
not take sufficient precautions to prevent the
ESCAPE Of that vessel from It's ports; and It Is

THE New York correspondent OF the Phlla-
delphla Ledger Of the 18th ult. writes: "Tnere

bishop It may be stated that considerable
number of the 'sOrder cf Jesus" expelled
from Germany, will soon. be In the United
States, including not few eminent doctors.
It is said, however, that they will not remain
In this city, their destination being the new

, I pa correspondent, writing OF Mr.. Greeley's
last reception at Chappaqua, says: "Mlss Ida
Greeley, under gIpsy hat trimmed with pale
blue ribbon and pink roses, and arrayed In
white plque gown neatly wrought with black,
TO which was added handsomely embroider-
ed tunic of black cashmere, extended pleas
ant greetings to all the guests. She Is a bru-
nette of the pale, clear-complexloned type,
has bright dark eyes, full red lips, features
yery like he. fathers, and an abundance of
black hair. She Is quite petite, looks very
voune, has all the simplicity OF manners that
characterizes Horace Greeley, combiied with
a certain elegance and dignity that are as
charming as indescrlbable. She betrays ex-
cellent taste In her toilet, discardiDg all such
imaonstrosities as humps and bunchings, and
earrings. She was educated at the Convent
of the Sacred Heart, is said to be Catholic,
and, in company with French maid, did
Europe very pleasantly. Agentleman present
predlcted that she would be the most popular
.iady In the White House slrce the reign of the
accomplished and elegant Mrs. Polk"
Colonel John T. Pickett, as he assumes to
designate himself, sends communication to
the New York Herald In relation to the re.
cent publication Of a portion of the so-called
aConfederate Archives" He says: 1.-THE ad-
minlstration has fired off Its guns 1.-The Jacob
thompson report. IL - uslu SnouSu, ou' 10

history after the lapse OF near full decade is
clearly apparent to my mind. AS we'll might
we hold Tacitus and Gibbon responsible for
Nero. That is the only PAPER In the entire

men who ran the Confederate machine. In.

been published is all! That Is exactly what
we supposed would oe the result. The United
States has been swlndled into the purchase of
a lot of old papers, worthless even for cam
ns,9n purposes; and now that, the money has
been paid over, Pickett is perfectly willing to
confess the fraud. Seventy-fve sheusand dol

the Thompson letter.
The Tichborne claimant, after triumphal
tour through the provinces of England, has at
