WASHINGTON, November 21.-The proiec


to create the Office of Captain General o


the Army and give it to General Grant fol

agitated upon the meeting of Congress
The bill is drawn, and the Speaker Randall


is in sympathy with the movement In
the bill as drawn the i5le is blank, but the


commission will probably be supplied by


the words captain General" The salary


is also blank, but will be filled in with eth


er $25, 900 or $4,000. The effect of the


bill, if enacted, will be virtual restora-
ton of the Office he resigned when he be-
came President. The plan as now discus
ed is to suspend the rules and pass the bill
at once, if possible. Although too early
for the development of opposition. it is i'm
probable that there will be any of very
serious character. Friends of the project
say that every member of Congress, of
both parties, now in Washington has sig
nifed his willingness to this without signi-
flying what position they may take on the
question. Public sentiment must be con-
suited. A leading Democrat, in speaking
of this matter, said that he believed ma>
jority of the delegation of every State
would support bill of this description,
and that it would go through by a nom
partisan vote.


Among Grants friends here there is
little doubt but that be would accept, as he
often said that he really preferred the Office
he held before becoming President to that
of President. 1t is also recalled that he
wrote letter near the close of his last
term in which he spoke of having made
sacrifice in giving up life position con-
genial to his tastes for the one be then
held. He was roundly criticised at the
time for publicly proclaiming that he made
a sacrifice in accepting the Presidency,
but he maintained to his intimate friends
that such were his feeling. This is refer>
red to by those who propose to restore to
him life position at the head of the army,
as evidence that he viii accept.

Samson Davis, a notorious colored


tiend, now occupies quarters in the


county Jail, place where he should


have been some months ago, if not the


principal in a hanging match. He was
carried to Jail by Rey. F. A. Young, a
colored minister, who had him incarce
rated and took receipt for his body,
for beating of his wife and killing of
his twelye-day-old child. 1t will be
remembered that this same Davis was
some months ago arrested and tried
for numbering his son, but there being
no witnesses he could not be convicted,
and was consequently liberated. He
lived with his family in a shanty in
Rigby's bottom, just outside the city
limits, and is known to his neighbors
as brutal drunkard and hard character
generally, having frequently beat his
wife nigh unto death in his drunken
orgies. He wound up his career last
night for the present by the murder of |
bis child and probably that Of his wife.

very promptly to Court. On Monday


morning the grand jury was empan-


eled, and the Judge deliverdd his


charge, which, we understand, was a


volume of law, wisdom, admonition,


and reproof. One of the clearest head

pressed to us the opinion that if this

would be more salutary than the crimi-
nal code enforced twice told. The
gospel of the law is the enforcement of
statutes, with rigid kindness, and the
paternal spirit of the law is found in
the words of warning uttered by the
presiding law, giver.

Judge, i'll his semi-annual unfolding
of the great truth that government
lives i'll the constant peril of its exist
ence, growing out of the strife between
law and laWlessness, for supremacy,

law to love it rather than to fear it.
In proportion as each conscience feels !

duty, so the community of cOnsciences !
would feel, if all chimed in in the gem

iuences from the multitude of indi-
vidual consciences. Each and every

The election is over, but there are


a few words and thoughts in the
speech delivered by the Hon. Hor-
alto Seymour at Utica pending the
canvass that we desire to print in
our columns. They are as follows /:


In the course of my long political
experience | have seen and felt so
much of the evils which men bring
upon themselves by discords that /
cannot refrain from warning you,
to whom / am under so many and
great obligations, against dissensions
in your ranks. Men are apt to
think that the result of elections
chiefly affect candidates for high
offices. This is ia great error. They
fall upon the mass of the voters in a
ten-fold greater degree than upon
those who are called leading men.
As a rule, these are advanced in
life. In a little while they will
pass away, while personal contro-
versies among the young and active
may live for many years to harm
and embaFaaSS them. 1t may be in
the power of men to crafty some
passing prejudice or interest by de-
feating those of their own political
faith, but it never fails ia the
course of time that things come
back to harm and plague those who
indulge in personal prejudices.

by interest, a Democratic State.
