III Official Iteeord as Contained In Ills Despatches to the District Comnuudtra, Washington, Saturday, August 17, 18G7. As studious attempts are now being made to place General Grant In a false position before the country because of his temporary accept ance of the office of Secretary of War, and Inas much ascertain Journals are demanding official evidence of the statements that General Grant heartily coincides with the policy of Congress, the following facts asinme unusual interest. In addition to these official papers, some of Which have been printed heretofore, it will be remembered that Just before the adjournment of Congress In July, General Grant was twice examined before tbe Judiciary Committee, and sufficient of his testimony became publics to satisfy the most radical members of the House, including Speaker Colfax, John Covode, Wil liams, of Pennsylvania, and others, that Gene ral Grant's sympathies have beeu decidedly with the reconstruction policy of Congress, espe cially since it has had a policy. Many people forget the highly important fact that General (i nun's po.siilon, purely a mili tary one, has given him no opportunity for the free expression of bis views on political ques tions. To have made such opportunities would have been an infraction of that very discipline Which he 1b bound by array regulations to in culcate among bis subordinates. So far as CJeneral Grant has had any occasion to speak or act, the record will show that it Is on the right side. When his recent testimony before the Judiciary Committee, In which his views were asked for and expressed, is published, his , position will be doubted by none. On the 6th of May, 1867, General Grant wrote General Schoneld as follows regarding his order on registration; Washington. May 8, 1867. General: Your letter of the 22d of April, lucloslng a copy of regulations for the registration ol voters Id your command, waaie ceived during my absence from the city, and eitber from my neglect, or tbat of aome one else, I bave only Just read them. The order Is without number and without dale, from which I lnler you are waiting to hear whether tbere are any suggestions to offer before publishing 1U I hasten, therefore, at this apparently late day, to reply. The order seems to me to meet every point, and to be good. I asked tbe Secretary of War to know If be bad any suggestions to offer. He said tbat he bad read the order, and found notblug to suggest In relation to It, Very respectfully, your obedient servant, U. B. GRANT, General. Brevet Malor-General J. M. bcbolleld. Commanding First District. As conclusive evidence of General Grant's in terpretation of the Reconstruction acts of Con gress, long before Stanbery pronounced upon them, witness the following correspondence between General Pope and himself, never here tofore printed In i ul 1: Headquarters Third Military District. General: I bave the honor to transmit Inclosed a copy of an order wbleh it Is my purpose to publish as aoon as I have ascertained from Provisional Gov ernor Jenkins whether, at the time be issued his ad lre8 to the people of tbls State, he bad seen or bud knowledge of my Order No. 1. Tbe course of Governor Jenkins la dlsauproved and deprecated by every man In tbe Slate who lavors reconstruction. It Is doing (treat Injury by keeping the prople disturbed and un certain wbat to do. and In arresting tbe general move ment which was going on tor active participation In re-tstabllsblng the Slate government. In addition to this, I am mainly concerned In tbe total neglect of his duties and tbe embarrassment In the execution of the laws and tbe maintenance of good order, arlniag from tbe fact tbat there Is no Lieutenant-Governor, and no ene in tbe (slate who can act for him. Already 11 has been necessary to Intnrtere with tbe military authority to arrest the ej ecu tlou of a man who was recommended to Exec itive clemency by both Judge and Jury, but wbo would Inevitably have been banged because the Provlsk nal Governor bad aueentf d himself, and was not preient to perform his duties. Provisional Governor Jenkins' course In attempting to make Georgia a party to a null, witbout authority of law and without the consent or either Legislature or people, Is creating great dissatisfaction, and is embarrassing me very much In tbe performance of my duty. His address to tbe peeplo of this State, advising them to take no action under the late acts ot Congress, and denouncing those acta In a manner to excite ill-feeling. It not actual disturbance In their execntion, is a positive violation of my Urder No. 1, and If not promptly Dotlced will render that order cull and of uo enect, and at onoe array the whole rmy of State ofUctals against the execution of those acta. Tbe HI effects of permitting the whole power of the Srovlslonal btate government, through alt Its civil epartnienta and lu all lis ramifications, to be used to frustrate the acts of Congress and to keep up the disturbed condition of the public mlud, cannot be overstated, No reconstruction is possible, and It will be next to Impossible to secure faithful administra tion of the laws while such Influences are allowed to coon unchecked, unless tbe entire civil government is overthrown and tbe military substituted. I deem It of tbe last importance to arrest It now, la the pernon of Provisional Governor Jenkins. If be Is permitted to set authority at defiance, It will be use lens to notice such offenses committed by tbe minor o Ulcere. I snail wait until tbe receipt of this letter and order Is acknowledged, which I request may be done by telegraph, which, if am not restrained, I will then publish and execute the order. 1 ' am. General, veiy respectfully, yovr obedient servant, JOHN POPE. Brevet Major-Genera! Commanding. Gen. 17. B. Grant, Geueral-ln-Chiet U, S. Army. Endorsement on the foregoing. Respectfully forwarded to the Secretary of War for his Information. The telegraphic despatch herein en closed shows that Governor Jenkins, of Geortla, has given such pledges to the commander of tbe Third District as to Induce him to withhold, for the present, his order suspending the Governor. Tbe conduct of Governor Jenkins demonstrates, however, how possible It Is for discontented mvlf tllceri of the reconstructed States to defeat the laws of Congress If the power does not exist with the dis trict commanders to suxpend their functions for cause In some way. It seems clear to me that the nowr la riven In the bill "for the more ellloient government of the .Rebel Status," fo use or not, at the pleasure of district commanders, tbe provlnlonal machinery set up without tbe authority of Congress In the States lo which the Reconstruction act applies. There being doubt, however 'on this point. I would respecttuiiy as it an early opinion on the subject. WT If the power of removal does not exist with district commanders, then It wi'l become necessary tor thetn to take refute under that section of the bill which authorise military commissions. U. B. GRANT, General. Headquarters Armies United states, April 21, ltwr. When General Pope received the Attorney General's opinion on the Reconstruction Act the following correspondence occurred: (Telegram cipher Received t P. M.) Atlanta, Ga., June 27 1MI7. General U. S.

Your view as to the duty ot Registrars lo register every man who will take the required oath, though they may know the applicant perjures him self. Is suslaiued by the views of the Attorney General. My opinion is, that it Is the duty of the Hoard of Registration to see. so lar as It lies In their power, that no unatilhorl.cd person is allowed to register. To secure this end. Registrars should be allowni to ad minister oaths and examine witnesses. The la, however, makes district commanders their own interpreters of their power and duty under It; and. In my opinion, the Attorney-General or myself can no more than give our opinion as lo the meaning of the law: neither can eulorce their views against the judg ment of those made responsible for the faltulul execu tion of the law, thedlstrlct commanders. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. U.S. GRANT, General. Brevet Mnlor-General Jff. O, C. Ord, commanding Fourth District, General Grant Vnn probably had more cor respondence with General Mheritl tn on the sub ject of the Reconstruction acts t:inu with any other commander. Everywhere the same ad herence to the spirit of the acts of Congress is manifested in General Grant's communica tions. The following are proof of the fact: Unitfd Statics Military Tklrobaph, War Dr partu nt. Received In cipher from New Orleans, ha., April s. 181178 P. M.

Tbe opinion ot tbe Attorney-General has not been distributed te District Commanders In language or manner entitling it to the force of an order. Nor can I suppose that the President Intended It to have such force. U. S. GRANT, General. With the exception of half a dozen minor and unimportant communications, these are all the official utterances of General Grant which there is vet authority to make public. But I have the most trustworthy assurance that what has followed has been of a character Bhowlng still more conclusively that General Grant Is heartily in sympathy with the spirit of the Congressional reconstruction policy, and that he has sought to carry It out in the manner which its language and spirit plainly indicate. V. 1". 'J'imea, Discipline in the French Army, A writer in 2he Month says that non-commis-lOhcd officers in the French army are not often reduced to the ranks, though the colonel of the regiment has power to do so. They are generally punished by confinement to barracks or arrest In their own quarters, or, it on active service, in the tents which serve as the salle de police. For offenses against honesty or for insubordina tion, they are always tried by a court-martial. nut crime is rare among mem. sometimes. many ot tbem being voung men. they indulge bornewhat too freely in wine; but if not on duty, ana it ine oiHaee is not repeated, they are let off with a scoldiner or a few days' arrest. The commissioned officers in like manDer are pun ished by irom three to thirty days' arrest in their on quarters for any omission in matters oi duty, or on account of any folly for which their youth may plead with the colonel not to be too hard upon them. Sometimes an officer who has misbehaved is exchanged into another regiment, and. occa sionally, but rarely, is placed on the non-actioite list, which is equivalent to temporary half-pay. The latter punishment is resorted to sometimes when oilicers have run verv deenlv into debt. aDd it is thought better that they should retire for a time irom their regiments, until they can make 6ome arrangement with their creditors. It is true tbat the latter cannot arrest them; but still indebtedness in the French army is considered a disgrace, and unworthy of those who wear the uniiorm. With them officers Lave no excuse for being behind the world. The State takes care that they bhall have no excuse for cxtravugance, whereas in our army we are obliged, in the junior ranks, to expect more than wo actually receive. The trades, tradesmen, workmen, and artifi cers oi a rreucn regiment are ot themselves something to see and to study. The baking of tne Dread, ine Killing ot the meat, the repairing of the barrack-buildings, the making of the boots and clothes all things, in short that can pofsibly be required in the regiment, are done oy me men themselves, and they thus earn con enlerabie additions to their pay. Every soldier, once he has learned his drill, is expected to work at something or other, and those that can do nothing better dig and delve and plant and cultivato the gardens which supply vegetables for the different regimental messes. Nothing feems to be made outside tho corps, as those who have ot late years taken notice of the French soldiers' dress can vouch lor. The small. compact chacko; the absence of all belts across tbe chest: the having black instead of white belts; the loose knickerbockers, with light leather leggings and stout boots, leave nothing to be wiphed tor in the way of a neat, useful, and, at the same time, handfomo uniform. The chaDKes which the cresent Emperor has Intro dnced in the dress ot the army have been very great, and me exceedingly popular in the ser vice. It is the same with tho oilicers. Without being at all exnpiihivr. their uniform is soldier- like, useful, and the rank of any of the wearers may ue aecortaiDed at a glance. Meteorites. M. DanbrCe, who has been investigating the specimens of meteorites In the l'aris collection, divides all meteorites into two primary trouns Siderites and Aside rites the former beinz characterized bv the presence of metallic iron and the latter by its absence. The Asiderites contain one group omy, wmcu is termed Asiderei.. The Bido rites are divided into two sections: in the first the Specimens do not nnW ntnnv rvarti cles, and in this we find the croup of Jlolo ewers; in ine Becond both Iron and stonv matter are present. This, then, includes two j7 I 1 t . I .

Atlorney.O,nrl XExMt fluftardlng Perquisites. Perqnlsltes I Ah I then we come to a point on which 1 think there should be some better underFtanding between "up-stalrs and down." When I was a student at the Hoyal Academy, with a moderate allowance from the parental tmrse, I used to spend my Easter week at a friend's honse in the country, where an estah. lifchmcDt was kept on ra.her a large scale. My ruilwHV journey there and back, cab tares, and other little incidental expenses cot me on those occasions perhaps somewlmt more than I was justified in spending on such an excursion, lint on leaving the house a tax awaited me which 1 really could not afford to pay, and yet from which no younir gentleman with any sense of dignity could escape. My iriend had a solemn butler but of livery of course with a bald bead, and an air of such tremendous import ance that one instinctively felt (at least I did) how delicate a task it was to oiler him any gra tuity at ail. and how utterly impossible it would . .1 1.1 nave oeen to oner aim anyiuing less tuun irom will out nnsltlvelv insuUincr him. The same argument applied with equal reason to the housekeeper, a aeraurc-iookincr pereonaee, wuo bad breakfast served in her own room, and whom the other servants addressed as "mum." Then there was my friend's valet, who conde scended to bring me my shavtug-wuter in tho morning, and laid out my dress-coat before dinner. There was another gentleman in livery who, during the repast, came frequently to me with oners ot a "little sncrry, iittio 'ocu.sir," ana so forth. Finally, there were the groom who bronaht round our horses to the door, the gardener, who had always some trifle to offer m the shape of fruit or vegetables as 1 was leav ing (no doubt they thought, or pretended to think, tbnt 1 had a house and cuisine of my own in town, whereas I lived in Bloomsbury lodgings, and my usual dinner consisted of a couple of chops), and tho lodgekecper, who touched his hat whenever I entered or left the grounds. Ali these functionitries bud in turn to be feed, and by the time their gilts had been duly dispens-ed 1 was generally minus the best half of my last 5 note. Now, it seems to me tbat this syetem of servant-tipping requires re vision. It falls rather hard on our young friends and poor relatious, guests whose purses are slender whoBe wallets are not amply stored. A,onaon sociwy. The Reclamation of Vagabond Boys lu tiOUUOU, The London Teteqravh says: "With the pur pose ot establishmir a most useful but not over- prosperous charity on a permanent footing of success, the iriends of the institution in Manscll street, Whitechapel, have just met, Dy invitation oi tne committee, to consider tne Dost means or attaining the objects in view. The Refuge for Homeless and Destitute Uovs takes ud the work ol the ragged schools, and is certified under the excellent act of 185,', which empowers a magis trate to send useful niiacmeanants to be in structed in various branches of industry, with authority lor their detention. The itt tuge now under notice was opened in llieh street. White chapel, in 1854, and has since been removed to a larger building in ManFell street. The difficult task- ot reclamation has been pursued with vary ing results; and the lessons which the managers have learned from tho experience of thirteen years are not the less valuable, perhaps, because they have sprung irom failures. "The very first scheme of teaching these half clad little outcasts how to make and mend clothes, boots, and shoes, broke down hope lessly, and other trades have been resorted to with some encouraging effect. The manu facture of brushes ana of paper bags is in active operation. Some of the very smallest of the lads labor with a will that shows itself in the firmness and speed of their work; and the signs of a natural industry cannot but be grati- lymg to those benevolent persons who have helped to snatch the forlorn little ones from a life of idleness and vice. No donbt, if the in dustry were so remunerative as to make tha in stitution sell-supporting, a great principle would be vindicated, apart from the mere kindliness of the design. But the simple want of present commercial success does not at all prove that the employment of these boys should cease. On the contrary, it U most desirable to help the cood work on, and to give it such impetus as may eventually enable it to run alone. "lueie are now one nunurea ana one ooys under charge of the establishment; tbe number who bave participated in its benefits since the foundation is four thousand. Of these it is too certain that many bave returned to their old ways ot lite; out others have done wen, ana not a lew have emigrated to the colonies." Tbe Russian Gold Mines. The London Journal of Minina savs: "The 3uantity of eold produced in 1864 by private iu ustry, as well in the Ural Mountains as in East ern Siberia, amounted to nineteen tons, showing a slight lallime oft as compared with tbe year 1863. The year 1865 was one of the most favor able character for the production of Russian gold, the results obtained having everywhere surpsssed those of preceding years. As regards eastern Siberia, tne production ot itstib exceeded tbat of 1864 bv 2743 tons, and tbat of 1863 by 1UH6 tons. This augmentation, which would have been greater if drought had not often in terrupted the works, was the result of works in new bearings. In Western Siberia 1865 yielded 0272 ton more gold than was obtained in 1864, and almost twice us much as was produced in 1863. in the urai district tbe production has scarcely changed of late years. From an ab sence of statistical documents as to the produc tion of the State in the Ural district and in Eastern Siberia, we can only. In order to form an idea ot the importance of its bearings, adopt as a minimum the average production ot lormer years that ls.about 1C70 tons tor the Ural group. and tons lor Eastern Siberia. The total production of gold in Russia was estimated at nearly twenty-three tons in 1864. and a little more than twenty-six tons in 1866." GAG LIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY.
