WAslnNoToS, April 2.-The universa
subject Of inquiry to-day in the depart
ments and throughought the city was th.
latest intelligence in regard to Genera
Grant. Bulletins were posted up in con
spicuous places rs fast as they came, but
they gave no encouragemt to the thous'
ands Of friends OF the ex-President living
in this city.
Several times It was reported on the
street that he was dead, but these reports
were contradictedl and the latest iniorma.
ton received during the afternoon was
that he might possibly survive two or
three days. .
General Sheridan, in conversation with
Q areporter, said ~ saw General Grant for
the first time on the battlefield at Shiloh.
General McP Pherson, whose picture hangs
there, was with him at the time. al:
though We had belonged to the same regi-
ment, we had never met before. After
the Mississippi campaign l met General
Grant for the second time, and alter
ward Twas thrown in with him more orless.
When he became Lieuteant General he
placed me in charge Of the cavalry service
ofthe Army OF the Potomac. accompan-
led him TO Florida and TO Mexico and will
say that our acquaintance was not only in
innate, but almost lovable. My opinion
of him is that he was far greater man
than people thought him. he was always
able, no matter how situated, to do more
than was expected OF him. That has al.
ways been my opinion Of General Grant.
1 have the greatest admiration for him
both as man and as commander.

wAsHlSsroN, April 2. 2.-Atfairs in to-
days executive session took an unexpect-
ed turn. The case Of The removal Of the
Indiana Revenue Collector, who had been
Union soldier, came up, and Senator
Harrison, Of that State, was placed in an
uncomfortable position. The next legls-
lature elects his successor andrhe did not
wish to have the record show that he had
voted to remove a Union soldier. By his
influence the nomination was tabled.
The West Virginia case was similar,
Collector Nee Corlnick having been a Union
soldier. To prevent ,McGraw's nomina-
nation being tabled the Republican SEN
ators suggested that no action! be taken,
so that the case would stand on the calen-
dar as not having been redcited. The
West Virginia Senators agreed to this.
Then the Indiana case was reconsidered,
taken from the table and left where Nc
Graw'sis, in company with about twenty
others oil the same kind.
The President has a right to make an
appointment and next week he will ap=
point McGraw. THERE'S no doubt about
this. When the nomination comes up at
the next session Nc Graw tSillbe confirm
ed, as there is no disposition to oppose
the President. This Is shown by the COM
irmation Of Postmaster Pearson, Of New
York, whom some Democrats and some
Republicans in the Senate do not like.

PANAMA, VIA GALVESTON, April o.-The
particulars Of the battle at Colon and the
burning Of that city are still meagrely re,
ported. The attack upon the rebel chief,
Preston, by the Columbian troops was led
by. Colonel Ullos. Preston's forces were
utterly routed attera severe engagement.
As soon as he became convinced that it
would be impossible for him to maintain
his position he set fire to the city in va
rious places and then made his escape.
Only q few Of his followers succeeded in
getting away with him. The city is al
most Q complete ruin. Only three houses
are left standing. Much distress prevails
among the people who have been render
ed homeless. Everything is quiet here at
Panama, and no serious apprehension OF,
attack from the insurgents Is felt. Com
munication with Colon remains open.
