WASHlNSTON, " ", MAY ol,
Especially in the Maryland confederate
circles of Washington there was howl
to-day about the grafton delivered in Balti.
more last night by General w. Bussey, first
assistant secretary of the interior A good
many letters were received during the day
oondemning the sentiment expressed IN tho
Grafton and describing the Indignation which
abounds among the Baltimore element. This
language is picked out as being especially
offensive to the unreconstructed:
'There is as much difference between tho
cause for which they (the confederatesS
fought and the cause of the union as between
heaven and hell, and 1t is CRIME to teach
the rising generation that there was any
thing in the cause to justly taking up arms"
These two sentences are also pointed out
as putting the iron into the soul of the con,
federate element in Baltimore:
"1f we are to put down anarchism, we
must have one flag. If these confederate
flags are to be brought out and worshipped
the anarchists may bring out their flag"
1t will be remembered that only few
weeks ago General Rosser, the unrecon,
structed confederate cavalry commander Of
Virginia, who antagonized the raid of Phil
Sheridan through the Shenandoah valley
and who continued to abuse that hero as long
as he lived, and TO cast odium upon his
grave after death, delivered an Grafton
in Baltimore in which he claimed that ono
confederate cavalrymen could whip five yam
KEGS, and that the principle for which tho
south fought was more pure and patriotic
than that of the north, and there is prob
ably as large rebel element in Baltimore
to-day as in any section of the country.
1t will be recalled that it was
very questionable for many months
during the late war, and especially
during the early part of it, whether thera
were u majority of the citizens of Maryland
and Baltimore loyal to the union, ana that
the only demonstrations made in behalf OF
either side of the controversy were in sup-
port OF the confederacy. 1t is probable that
If if General Bussey should make his ap-
perance in Baltimore, very soon, that he
would be burned in effigy by some of the in-
dignant citizens, but by much smaller
number than few years ago, for tariff pro-
lection and republicanlsm generally have
taken very long and pronounced strides in
the monumental city. The speech of Gem
eral Bnssey created quite hutter of excite
ment and continues to be the principal topic
OF CONNIE Mt both here and in Baltimore.

REAR-ADMIRAL GHERARDI.
Rear-Admral Gherarii. who but recently
arrived in this country from Hayti, where
he was in command of the United States
man-of-war, had a conference with Secretary
Tracy and advised that there be no inter-
ference on the part Of this country with the
opposing factions in Hayti. But he thought
that it would be well to keep war-ship in
the vicinity. The admiral will have q con-
ference with Secretar Blaine.
