They were presented to King Amadeus by

is reported as saying he was pleased to see
so famous a representative of the American
army as Gen. Sherman, and that he always
entertained friendship and admiration for
the American people. He desired that the
most cordial relations, as between neigh
bors whose interests can only lie in the pre-
servation of the peace, may always exist
between the United States and Spain. In
the evening there was a banquet at the
United States Legation, at which were
present MalaCamp, Minister of Marine; To-
pete, Minister for the Colonies; DeBlas,
Foreign Minister, and others. Toasts were
drank and responded to: The King, Presi-

United States and Spain. The utmost
cordiality and friendship marked the senti-
ments of the speakers of both countries.
Admiral Topete said he hoped the peace
between the United States and Spain may
never be disturbed. The Foreign Minister,

THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes, Jan. s, as
follows:
"There is a good deal Of talk among the
Democratic Congressmen Of the passive
policy order on the Presidential question,
and knot of them numbering half dozen
agreed that they would prefer Judge Davis
to Senator Trumbull as a candidate for the
Presidency, for the reason that he is as fit
in every respect as the latter, and that be
could be taken with better grace by the
Democrats than TrumbuI could, because
while their opinions on general political
questions are thought to be incorrect, the
record of Davis is less Objectionable because
be has taken less part in politics, and has
been out of all political contests for several
years"
