THE CIPHER DISPATCHES. The Chi.
cago Journals Washington's special
says : Since the recess OF Congress be-
gan several Republican leaders have been
in consultation regarding the proposed
investigation of the cipher dispatches, and
have come to the conclusion not to take
the initiative, but tho responsibility rest,
with the Democrats, as the latter were
directly affected by the exposures. The
Republicans considered that if they did
not want to accept the verdict of the
country regarding them they could ask
for an investigation by the Potter Com
mittee. 1t is about settled that the Dem
ocratic leaders do not intend to move in
the matter, and will endsavor to let the
disclosures die out.

Weaverville, December 26, 1878.

In the published diplomatic correspon-
dence is an interesting dispatch from Ba-
yard Taylor, giving an accouat of Gener-
al Grants reception by the Crown Prince,
as the Emperor was too i'll at the time TO
receive any visitors. In tie course of
the account ofth reception by the Crown
Prince, Taylor says: / accompanied
General Grant to the palace of the Crown
Prince, where he was first received by
all the adjutant. and Court officials ofthe
Latter, snd conducted TO the audience
room. The Crown Prince thea entered
in his uniform of Field Marshal, greeted
Grant most cordially, and conversed with
him for three. quarters OF an hour. At
the close Of the Interview he invited him
and Mrs. Grant, together with myself, to
inc at The new palace at Potsdam the
next evening On returning home l
was surprised to find letter from Count
Nesselrode, Court Marshal Of the EN-
press, informing me that her Majesty
would receive mo on Friday afternoon
From the absence of cert in customary
formaitiss on reaching the palace, and
quic: manner of my reception, suspect
that it was meant to be private quite as
much as effic isl. The Empress took oc.
casion TO express to me the Emperor's
Interest in Grants history, his desire ts
meet him personally, and his great regre,
that this was now impossible. Her word,
and manner implied authorization thai
/ should repeat those expressions tc
Grant. She then spoke very freely and
feelingly Of the disturbances occasioned
by the distress of the labering classes, de.
clared her belief that a period Of peace
would be the best remedy, and finally
said: 1.-THE Emperor knew that | should
see you to day. He has ;he peace Of the
world at heart, and he desires nothing &c
much as the establishment Of friendship
between nations, ! ask you to make i
your task to promote the existing friend
ship between your country and ours. Yol
cannot do better work, and we shall mos
heartily unite with you in doing it. Thi,
is the Empsror's message TO you, and HI
asked me to givo it to you in his name
as we'll as my own" She then beweC
and LETT me. The deeply earnest, pathe
tic tones OF her voice impressed me pro
founely. l kept her words carefully il
my memory, and have repeated them
with only such changes as the translation
makes necessary.

CALIFoRNIA AS SEEN BY STRANGER
The learned Jewish Rabbi, DR.. Liienthal
OF Cincinnati, who lately visited Califor-
Tia. writes as follows 20 the Cincinnati
Commercial: Zone must have seen the
scenery Of California to be able to under
stand the intense qualification Of the vis-
tors Of this paradise. Photographs and
ether stuff Of this kind do not give the
taintest idea of the beauty. They are
only bewildering. l now can understand
why American landscape paintings are
so often censured in Europe as being ex-
aggerated, and not true copies Of nature.
|, myself have Travelled extensiv ely In
Europe, but you can find nowhere tn

and light, as in America, and especially
in California. 1t surpasses all descrip-

THE FRUITs OF AFGHANIsTAE.-A

the eitish spies on their return from

fruit all along the line OF march is cheap

l have never seen it equaled in any

A FACT ABOUT THE BIBLE.-The

kindred words are words that never in II

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
In conversation on the business Of the
Supreme Court, Chief Justice Wait said
this year he thought the Court would run
behind about forty cases that at present
there are 1,080 edd cases in his docket
undecided, and that the Court cannot dis
pose of more than about 2G0 year. Its
business is at present nearly three years
behind. the case now before it having been
brought in 1876. This was, be said, the
cause Of the Presidents recemmen datien
in his message concerning the creation o!
new Circuit Judges. If these should be
created, and if the jurisdiction Of the
Court should lie extended 20 cases where
$4,000 and more might be involved, in
stead of $4,000, the present amount, the
Chief Justice thought the pressure on the
Court would be sufficiently relieved, and
that it would be able to conduct its busi-
ness as rapidly as necessary. Justice
Swain expressed similar views, but
thought that litigation is rapidly falling
off. This elimination, he thought, is due
TO the fact that the contracts broken by
the strain Of the financial panic have
been about adjudicated, and the volume
of law business has got back to nearly its
normal state, although the food OF busi
ness now before the Court shows no sign:
Of receding at present. If it be true tina
the sources of the stream are drying up
it will not be long before the Court will
be able to decide cases about as fast a,
they come in.

making of petit jures in Chicago was
brought to light in the circuit court, re-
Gently. A juror was charged with APP

amount were not paid he must take the
chances on a verdict. The juror was
