! An incident lute!yf urretl on one
of the. New Yor miiirJerscy Wy
ry-boats which is illustrative of more
than one trait in General Grant's char
acter.
Gcuoral Grant lately paid a visit to
West Point, and being desirous of
avoiding thatgrcatest of nuisances to a
modest man like himself the over
civility of the people along his route
traveled incognito j uot exactly in
disguise, but dressed so differently
from his usual habit that ho was re
cognizable to but few. : But our artist,
Mr. Jewett, had made during tho war
too many portraits of the General to
be deceived by a change in his wear
in:! apparel, and at a elance recognis
ed in the shaded f; the features of
the "first General of the age."
While General Grant remained in
tho cabin of the boat ho was approach
ed by one of thoso disabled veterans
who nre employed, or who employ
themselves, in selling tho newspaner
known as "The Soldier's Friend, ' a
journal, by-the-way, of unusual merit
aside from its charitable object, and a
copv was laid on his knee. The, .Gen
eral, recognizing and admitting the
claim of tho disabled veteran on his
aid nnd charitv, drew from his wicket
a $ greenback and quietly handed it
to the mucti astonished soldier. J. lie
latter was in doubt what to do until
the General, with a nod, dismissed
him. As he turned awnv, the soldier,
observing his friend more closely, re
cognized his old leader, nnd would
have spoken ; but a glance from the
General silenced him . atid ho bowed
and passed on.

Tho majority of tho Judiciary Com
mittee, to Miora the' ' impeachment
question has liecnTeflrred, hr.VJ as you
were informed. by telegraph yesterday
reported in favor of impeachment nnd,
their report 'discloses the following
Jacts viz :
An unconstitutional usurpation of
the power on the part of the Presi
dent to organize and recognize civil
State Governments; tho denial of the
nht ot Congress to control tho work
of organization, and tho exerciso of
power and omission of duties in sup
port of tins usurpation and denial ;
the wiltul nnd unconstitutional as
sumption of power to suspend tlie op
erations of tho acts of congress, and
the corrupt wilful and unconstitution
al refusal to cxecuto tho laws; the
unauthorized and illegal surrender
and sale of Government property, ami
tho fraudulent breach ot the public
trust, wherein tho action of the Presi
dent in relation to tho Southern rail
roads is detailed at length, and much
evidence is given relative to tho sale
and surrender of railroads and roll
ing stock, and other property iu which
it is shown that all this property was
turned over against tho advice of the
Secretary of War, nnd tho Quarter
master General. It is also shown that
the President extended the time for
the payment of installments' of princi
pal nnd interest on the railroads pur
chased bv the rebel companies. The
evidence further shows that at the
same time these railroad companies had
a sufficient amount 'of n.o icy on do-
unci r tn niKi'f. their inilclif imIiicas. Bv
his connection with the Southern roads
it shows that he realized a profit of
over eighteen thousand dollars,
The other grounds of impeachment
are the corrupt nnd unconstitutional
abuse of the veto power; tho abuse of
the pardoning power; the surrender
of property to the rebels; the disre-
mml of the rnrhts of the nrnnertv of
refugees and frccdiucn, and of tho Uni
ted States, nnd the unconstitutional
and corrupt exercise of t!i:v appointing
power. Under the latter head, avast
amount of testimony has been taken
relative to the suspension and appoint
ing of civil olheers, nnd,tho cause
therefore, in direct violation of the
law.

TiiePhilahelphia L -iher comments i
this wise on thepio o ition to pay the
live-twentv bonds in greenbacks
One of the manv propositions like!
to come before the country touching
the finances and the public debt, is that
to pav the Five-twenty United States
bonds by an issueof greenbacks in their
place. Js'otwit'is'.an ling it is apparent
that a policy of this character, even
adinilfng that it was at all practicable,
which it is not, would be to injure ev
ery workingnian and woman in the
country, there are men claiming to be
intelligent who will favor its consiiina
tion. It is the iiockcls of tho man or
woman who works, in which is found
the great bulk of the amount of circu
lating money. The capitalist hardly
carries more money, perhaps not as
much, iu his pockets as the mechanic
keeps no bank account. The capitalist
has his warehouse, his. dwelling, his
mill, his cotton, his wool, and his real
property of all kind ; be might lose
the paper money in his pocket and all
his United States bonds, when they
were gone ho would hold a larger rela
tive proportion of the property
of the " country than he bail be
fore, while the mechanic and tho la
borer, whoso nil would be in his pock
et or in the saving bank, ,would lose
bis all ho would have no property to
represent his past labor. tow, to the
extent that money is cheapened by nn
increase ot its amount, will those hold
ing it suffer, nnd as the laboring class
es hold the greatest ainount,.thcy must
nccc:irily be the severest sullcrers.
It is desirable fo have enough ourreu-
to carry on the exchanges of the coun
try beyond that, currency is nflt only
useless, but absolutely detrimental to
tho industrial interest1'.' : As to pay
ing the 5-20 debt with an issue of
greenbacks, the idea is preposterous.

escort to the managers of the affair, on
the ground that ha could not order bis
oflicers to attend a' procession gotten
up in honor of the murdcrersof police
men. Jefferson Davis arrived at Rich
mond on Friday of last week on the
Xcw York steamer, aiid is slopping at
the house of bis counsel, Robert Ould.
Davis left Canada oil Tuesday, No
vember 19, and, to avoid attracting
attention in New York, went on
board the steamer Albemarle at her
sailing hour, nine o'clock on Wednes
day night. He was unaccompanied
by any one. On his arrival in Rich
mond he took a coach and drove to
J ndge Ould's house. No one expect
ed his arrival at the time not even
his counsel. His lawyers deny that
they have any intention of resisting a
trial before Judiro Underwood. Davis
is in excellent health, and is quite
cheerful. Many sympathizing rebel
friends called upon., him to welcome
him in their midst.
Till'. Xcw York Inileiirndent has
been enlarged to sixty-four column:-,
making it the largest newspaper in
America.
