Senator Sumner’s savage speech on our Alabama claims has been success ful In stirring up the English politicians and newspapers Into a first-class state of excitement. The Senator’s estimate of the sum total of the bill which we expect England to satisfy, seems to astonish our English cousins by its magnitude, and we are inclined to think their surprise is not unnatural. \ ery few persons in this country felt enough Interest in the subject of it to wade through the great speech of our dis tinguished Senator, but the English people, deluded into the impression that it meant all it said, have been reading it with great care. They inform us that theSenatormakes the bill, as it at pres ent stands, amount to $2,100,000,000 in gold, and a large number of items re main to be added to It. The English Government is very much disturbed at tbe prospect of hav ing this large amount added to its in debtedness, and is apparently greatly Indisposed to assume its payment. It is quite possible,however, that before long it will recognize the fact that we have a great war chieftain as our President, and v a man who is ever very strongly inclined to take all the money that he can get. He will therefore not be dis. posed to abate anything of our demand as long as there is the faintest prospect of compelling its satisfaction, nor will *lie even be apt to take oh'much of a discount for prompt payment in cash. Weshould therefore advise the English men to accept the situation philosophi cally, and promptly enforce such meas ures of taxation as will speedily fill their treasury and enable them to liquidate our claim. As our bonds are below par In their market, they would do well to purchase them all and tender them to our government at their face value, iu part-payment of our bill. “We do not think this offer will be refused, since we will be obliged somo day to pay the bonds in full and they would therefore be the same to us as cash. ft does not seem to us that our people fully appreciate the good fortune that is in store for us ; they do not seem to have us yet realized the fact that at Senator Sumnerto suggestion England is proba' bly about to pay ofT our national debt. Iu fact wc may consider tliuL we no longer have a national debt. To be sure we apparently owe according to the monthly statements of tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury, somo $2,0011,(1011,000, part ingold andpart iu greenbacks ; buttheii the credit side of the amount for some reason, never accompanies the state ment. On that side is entered at present s2,luo,ooo,ooi>all in gold, due us by Great .Britain, a perfectly solvent party', ami to this sum further items we are told are being daily added. It is surprising that our people have received this glorious news with so : much apathy. .Senator Sumner's speech in which we were told of our good for tune, failed to create amongst us the , leust hreeze of excitement. We don’t ; seem to care a button about the Ala- j bama claims, and appear to regard the j talk about them as all for buncombe. It i seems odd to see so much warmth ex- | hibited in the matter hy our diplomat ists and newspaper writers, when we find so great coldness among the people. A snow storm in August would not af- j ford a more striking contrast. But the experience is not strange to us. It is not now for the iiist time that we find that the loud talk of politicians is not a correct indication of excitement among : the people ; it does not show it any more than the frothing of a rabid dog, evi dences the madness of the whole canine race. /l'liis speech of Simmer, and lliecom inenl.s thereon of the newspaper* would persuade anybody who had no other means of judging of the temper of the 1 country that war with England might fie proclaimed at any moment; and yet , I here is not the slightest prospect of the : happening ol any such event.' The politicians, loudly as they talk, have j themselves no idea of plunging us into ! war, ami t lie people know that they j have not. We all know very well that it would lie very inconvenient for us to make any addition to our national debt and thereby increase our present heavy hurthchi of taxation. There would he a much stronger probability of our going to war with England if she would consent to satisfy ourclaims in the Ala bama matter; for thou, according to Sumner's estimate of the damages, our entire national debt would be wiped out, and wo would only be too anxious that some nation, by treading on our coat tails, would enable us to pick a quarrel with i(, whereby with a little blood letting nud a comfort able amount ol lighting, we could fitly celebrate our freedom from debt and the abolition of taxation. Let us ail fer vently hope that Englaud, recognizing the justice of our claim and terrified by our bluster,will quickly eouclude to pay us our $2,100,000,01)0 in gold, without waiting for ua to make good our words by deeds. Then we will indeed have reason to be happy. Lovc lor tlie Woiklngmcn -Mr. Boric, Mr. Grant’s Secretary of the Navy, has been busy since hi* ap pointment in ousting Democratic me chanic’s from the Philadelphia Navy Vard, and putting in their places in capable workmen because the latter vote the .Radical ticket. Even in the most trilling matters Mr. Grant’s Gain net otlicers emulate their Chief in ex hibiting party spleen. The vessels built with the people’s money for their de fence, uini for the preservation of the Na tion’s honor, must he constructed in au inferior manner in order that the greedy adherents of Radicalism in Philadel phia may be provided with positions at the Navy Vard, In the meantime, while white mechanics, capable and experienced, are thrown out of eraploy mentand their wives and little children perhaps mado to suffer fur want of bread, able-bodied negroes, incapable and inexperienced, are sent to repre sent white men at Foreign Courts as ambassadors of the United States. Large salaries in gold are paid these negroes, which are collected olf the mechanics and workingmen of the country by-exacting Radical Collectors and Assessors, while numbers of white children walk the streets of our cities begging bread. Many persons are doubtless still tin convinced that The Imperialist is pub lished by rich Radical office-holders and bond-holders. The following extracts from the loading editorials of a recent number of that paper will show how utterly at variance with the principles of the Democratic party are those enuu eiated by these Radical admirers of an Imperial Government.

Simon was “/died with the desire of break- j ing down Forney;” the only laud able ambition we ever knew him to have, and one that would afford, if, any thing could, an excuse for his abom iuuble trickery and corruption. We do not wish to prejudge the parties who are charged in this matter with such gross wrong. The affair will re ceive a legal investigation, and we heartily wish that it may place another construction upon these letters than that which is now given them ; for this is a sad reflection upon the independ ence of journalism. Rut it is difficult to see how they can ' be made to appear entirely innocent.— j If the money obtained for the Pust was borrowed for it in the course of an ordi nary business trausac-tiou, how happens it that politicians and not business men : were applied to for it. Weare told that j we cannot touch pitch without being defiled ; and the conductor of a news- 1 paper can neither borrow from Simon Cameron, nor have his notes endorsed by him, without furnishing strong presumptive evidence of the lack of in tegrity in his columns. The developments made in this affair will have a strong tendency to produce a great lack of confidence among the , people the independence of the press. 1 How can they fail of this effect when j it is seen that the New York 'lribiinc , | one of the leading papers of the country, i varied its tone at the direction of a con ductor who received a valuable consid eration for its influence. Tbe Tribunt: has had the reputation of being an hon . est journal, advocating views which j however mistaken they might be, were j always sincerely entertained ; and peo ple may well ask, if we could be de ] ceived in the liohesly of this newspaper, j in what oilier can we place implicit ! confidence. The. Post also has had a j good reputation for honesty, of which 1 it bore strong superficial appearance, aud if people find that it was rotten at j the core, they may well suspect rotten ness under equally fair exteriors. Yet 1 we do not regret that this exposure has ; been made ; if the facts were true, they 'ought to have been mude known, and w r e hope that the verdict of condemua ' tiou which will be rendered upon them : will be so strongly expressed, that the ; venal editor may be taught that his of i fence, when discovered, is one that the community will never pardon and are at last, what right reason declares they shonld be, only the several provinces of a mighty Empire, from which they can not separate, ana in which their considera tion should depend." Bead Rebuked, At Philadelphia last week Chief .Jus tice Thompson delivered a decision an nulling the infamous order entered by Justice Read on the records of the Nisi Prius Court, in November last, which directed that no naturalizations should thereafter be granted in that Court, nor should l he Prothonotmy give certificates of tiic naturalizations which had pre viously been made. The Chief Justice rifled that itead’s action was illegal and void and was un unjustifiable attempt to set aside the practice of the Court for seventy years. The opinion of the Chief Justice's very moderate in tone, consideration for Read’s ] wretched weakness restraining him from using towards his conduct the severe expres sions which it richly merits. Tin; G. A. R. has obtained some ad ditional iuilials to its title, as we see by the following official order in the f/n -jjoia/iaf; T. C. J, ()., The Columbia Imperialist Organization probably : “T.

The Sorosis Tea. This is an age of progress, and after the negro, woman is becoming its most progressive institution. The retiring disposition-which used to be considered their greatest charm, tlie inclination to reserve the exhibition of their talents for the privacy of the home circle, which once was thought to be a characteristic of the sex, seem now to be fast giving way to a desire to step out into the full glare of the world, to claim its applause for the brightness of their wit and de mand its concession of their ability to perform the various cilices and duties of men. We lind them now engaged in nearly all the avocations of life. They are doctors, mechants, writers, printers, editors, cleiks, manufacturers, school teachers and almost every thing else but lawyers and legislators ; and weliave no reason to be incredulous U}ut they will not storm also these positions and ap pear in Congress aud on the Bench. They are vigorously demanding now the right of suffrage, and no man can confidently say that they will not suc ceed in obtaining it. In fact, consider ing the liberality with which the suf* frage has been conferred upon every other human being, it does seem very harsh to refuse it to women alone. It can be said of them, what cannot be said of the last class enfranchised, that they are capable of casting an intelli gent ballot; and that they would value the privilege ami enthusiastically exer cise it no one can doubt who has ever seen liow they enjoy casting their vote ; in a society meeting or a church couucil. j Rut the latest feature in the declara | tion of female independence is the i “ Korosis ” or women’s club, an instilu ' tion which originated in New York a I year or so since, and we presume lias j been imitated elsewhere. We have all ■ heard how there was once a fashionable j young lady in New York, Miss Flora McFlimsey of Madison Square, who had I nothing to wear ; the Sorosis now tells j us that tiiereareanumberof fashionable | ladies in that ungodly town who have ' nothing to do ; and they have therefore, j after the manner of men, established a j club in order that they may agreeably : do it. It also furnishes a pleasant refuge | for the wife from the husband,who is not i even admittedtohonorarymemhership. | Surosis gave a tea party a few nights | ago, to which it invited a limited num | her of gentlemen to serve as a commit j tee on applause; and as we considered ! the occurrence a noteworthy one and a ' summit,reached in the upward progress t of the sex, we have spread before our j readers a full record of the proceedings, ' in order that they may see how Sorosis talks and acts. Many gay toasts were drank—in tea—and plenty of witty things were said. Some of the subjects chosen for tlm speeches may perhaps be termed somewhat odd; one young lady ventilating in a lively manner the abstruse question of “men and their buttons.” The speeches were highly appreciated by the gentlemen auditory who applauded very vigorously, consid ering that they were only moistened with tea, and at a late hour they regret fully took,their leave; whether the guests saw their hostesses home or the hostesses the guests, we are not advised. Where this movement towards female emancipation is going to end, it is im possible to divine; but we would re spectfully suggest to the ladies that they may push it too far. They should be careful not to forget that if they do, tiiere may be a movement for emanci pation made by the men, which they will not like. In discarding thosemod est habits and gentle virtues which have hitherto been so pleasing in our sight, they should look well to it, that they secure in their stead otherattraetionsof at least equal potency, else their bold ness aud masculinity will be apt to free us from their chains and lose to them our homage; a state of affairs which we know they could not look upon with I complacency, nor endure with manly | fortitude. There is real danger we j think that in seeking to escape present ! ills,they may encounter others that they would by no means exchange them for. Therefor,let them hasten on their path of progress, slowly.

I TheNationalConventionoftheGrand I Army of the Republic meets at Cincin- j nation the 12th of May, and the event I is attracting a good deal of attention i since the recent disclosure of the fact j that:the real object of this secret politi— ! cal -military organization is the over- 1 throw of our Republican form of gov- 1 ernment, and the establishment of a Monarchy in its stead. At this meeting j the plan which has has been adopted for the attainment of their object will j be perfected,and reports will be received i as to the growth of the Imperialistic | feeliDg among the rank and tile of the i organization, in order that the leaders may ascertain how ripe their subordin ates are becoming and judge how soon it will be prudent to openly announce to them their design, with the certainty of enlisting in it the hearty sympathy and co-operation of all the members. They propose to hasten slowly towards ; the attainment of their desires, aud are too shrewd to endanger the success of their scheme by suddenly unfolding it in all its hideous monstrosity to the privates in their organization, before they have been educated up to a due degree of faith iu the euperiorexcellenee I of an Imperial form of Government. ( This National Convention has there j fore been called to develop the plans of ! the conspirators, to test the faith of the members, aud to thoroughly indoctrin ate them with the views of the chiefs. An inner ring has been formed in the ; organization similar to that which ex ; ists in the I'nion League, to the mem bers of which alone a full knowledge of ; the real object in view will be coufided. j Into this ring the delegates to the Con vention will be brought, aud they, on their return home, will be expected to j induct iuio it the soldiers of the Grand j Army at each Post as rapidly as they are made ready to joyfully embrace the idea of a Monarchy. i The Convention is likewise intended j to consider the question of finances,and j to determine the best method of raising i the very large amount of money that will be required for the accomplishment of the designs of the organization. A very large sum is wanted to sustain its organ, the Jnqurialid, and to carry out the contemplated design of printing many thousand copies of it. to be dis tributed gratuitously among the people, through tlie agency of the several Posts. As one means of raising money a con tinuance of theatrical representations, such us that of the “Drummer Roy,” j will be recommended, and a committee i will be appointed to get up bloody ! dramas that will be likely to “draw.h The Grand Army we think will raise enough money; it lias already per suaded the Cincinnati Councils, in credible as it may seem, to appropriate a thousand dollars to its fund; an act j which a paper of that city speaks of as | follows: We marvel, as do the . iiizeiio uf this city, ' that our Council have appropriated one thousand dollars to defray the expenses of ; the meeting of this Convention in Cinein- i nati on the 12th prox. Doesanv one believe ! that if a Democratic National secret society were to meet here, the Council would ap propriate, by the aid of the Republican, or rather Imperialist members, a single cent for that purpose ? If we give one thousand dollats to it, upon : what principle can we refuse appropria tions to tho .Masons, the Odd fellows, the Sons of Temperance, Democratic aud Re publican commiitees, and to the hundreds of organizations into which our citizens are 1 divided? j This was certainly a very extraordi- : nary appropriation for a city to make to : any society, especially to a political one* j Rut the meiubt fa of the Cincinnati l Councils are evidently a prudent set of fellows, and desire to lay an anchor to windward. They have heard that the Grand' Army proposes establishing a Monarchy, and tiny don’t wish to be ' left out in tlie cold in the event of the success of the project; they wish to be iu a position to be counted in when the ; grand distribution tako3 place of the ; Dukedoms, Marquisates, Raronies, as | prizes to the faithful, and Gen. Grant ; has taught them that a liberal contribu tor will surely receive his reward. The Grand Army of the Republic lias not hitherto attracted much atten tion, notwithstanding the evil nature of its organization, because it has not up to a late period shown any evil dis position. But now that it is charged with Imperialistic tendencies, and is perceived to he actively at work collect ing together a large amount of money for unavowed purposes, it is high time that the people should wake’up and, ex amine into the character and proceed ingsofthe association,ascertain whether we are nourishing a viper in our bosom. The organization is pernicious in its constitution, because it has three dis tinctive characteristics, which should never be found belonging together to one body of men ; nor should any two of them be so found. Ist, It is a military body; it is commanded by a Major Gen eral, is officered by Colonels, Captains, Ac., and styles its societies in military parlance “ Posts.” 2nd, It is a political body, being entirely composed of mem bers of the Republican party, with not a solitary Democrat in its ranks. :ird, It is a secret society, witli grips, pass words and sigus. Now we hazard nothing in saying that it is . contrary to tlie spirit of our institutions and to the enlightened sentiment of our people, that we should have among us either secret political, secret mili tary. political military, or military political associations; how much more dangerous to our welfare then must be the existence in our midst of a secrc-t political military organization, which, under the control of corrupt politicians, may become a potential engine in up rooting the institutions of our country and destroying the liberties of the peo ple. That this danger is real is suffici ently shown by the apprehensions that have been excited by thestatemeut that this hydra-headed association, aided by that other abortion, the Union League, is secretly working for the establish ment of au Empire. We are not alone in calling attention to the connection between the Repub lican party, the G. A. R., and the fm pcriali-si newspaper. Read what the Newark (N. J.) Journal says ; A decade ago, had the following, which we extract from The Imperialist, boon pub • . fished, it would have cost the editor his fife, certainly ihe properly of iris ollice. ” Tho name of the lorm of government is a matter ofliitlo consequence, The Emjiire Kill bring its pence, Mali we refuse it, be cause we like nul the ;;nmeof the giver ' To day The Imperialist raises the banner of the the red flag of Republi can anarchy.” “ And yet this treason to ihe nationality, this insult to the memories ofonr heroicand 1 patriot dead, are passed over in respectful silence by some, and openly approved of by others, to the number of thousands, who are doing their utmost to extend the mis chievous circulation of this sheet. Nor does it lack for influential backing. A prominent member of (irant's Cabinet stands forth as its financial sjmnsor. Grant himself lends i counteiiance to the .scheme by aiding with money and means its circulation among his j friends. Already numbers arc mailed to the I heads of that secret armed organization, the Army of the Republic, that has its posts scat- , tered throughout this land."' The Cincinnati J'nquinr says : * [ There has been a good deal of speculation j as to tho origin and liuaneiul support of the 1 new organ of the Radical party, The In i- i pcrialisl. Its lust page is covered with six- ; teen business advertisements. Eleven of these are said to be of leading Radical bond- . holders, bankers and other moneyed oper- j ators. These are the men of ihe Union ! League, from among whose members tbe i President selected his Cabinet, and the per- [ sons to fill the highest and most lucrative' offices in his gift. Their patronage of The j Imperialist must be taken uh an indication ! of their principles ; for its circulation could not have been sufficient, at the slarl, to ! command advertising. Ot’R President is very unlucky iu his efforts to testify bis high appreciation of his newspaper friends. They all de- a cline to take the handsome positions hie tenders them.

No administration ever exhibited as much littleness in its appointments as the present; eveni those ’who ardently advocated Grant’s election to the Presi dency, have been disappointed by the favoritism exhibited by him. The ablest journalists in the Radical party have noticed this want of Judgment on the part of the President and, unable longer to conceal their disgust and cha grin at his conduct, now openly criticise j and condemn him In unsparing terms. | In many places deserving soldiers : who fought bravely in the war for the Union have been removed and civilians appointed in their stead. All those con servative Republicans who opposed the impeachment of President Johnson are for some reason especially repugnant to Mr. Grant; he has also more tbau once intimated that those persons who acted with the Republican pjrty during the war, and have since joined the Demo cratic party, because they considered that the Republican party had proven false to the pledges made by it at the election of President Lincoln, should not meet with any favor at his hands* Rut at the samo time tho most uncom promising rebels, who fought for the Confederacy, if they endorsed the Radi cal measures of Sumner and Rutler, have received tlrst-class appointments. Mr. Grant’s nepotism has been so often . and so barefacedly exhibited that even j the Radical papers, when they hear of, some obscure individual from the rural districts of Ohio or Illinois appointed to a lucrative position, immediately an nounce that “he is a relative of General Grant’s” or "an old friend of the faml ly* n ; Tlie most ungenerous feature, how j ever, of Grant’s conduct is the viudic ! tive feeling he has exhibited toward all those Generals who helped him win the Union victories, but who Irave since | the termination of the war thought dif j ferently from him respecting the man j ner in which Congress ought to act 1 toward the Southern States. Gallant soldiers like Haucoek, Ord, Stoneman, and others have been exiled to distant and obscure Military " Posts to make room for men of small renown, who by their less deserving services during the war are justly entitled to less consider ation from their former commander — now the Chief Magistrate of the Nation. This conduct of Grant will be viewed with universal execration, when the party spirit engendered by the recent i Presidential election shall have passed j away, aud the acts of the public men of j the present are commented upon by the impartial pen of the future historian. Death of lion. Arnold Plumer. Hon. Arnold Plumer died at his resi dence in Urankliu, Pa,, on Uieafternoon of the 2Sth inst., in the Toth year of his age. Mr. Plumer all his life was an ardent Democrat, and was held in high regard by his party. lie tilled at dif ferent times the positions of U. S. Mar shal, member of Congress and Canal Commissioner, iu all of which he dis charged his duties with ability and scrupulous integrity. Pie was one of the last of the representative politicians of the bettc-r days Of the country. A (;Kmat many people in the United States feel a strong sympathy for tho Cuban insurgents and would be glad to see them recognized by our Govern ment. It is rather surprisiug, how ever, to find among the foremost advo cates of this policy, men who are exceedingly bitter against England for recognizing the Southern Confederacy. They are talking loudly about the jus tice of our demand upon England for heavy damages in allowing the Ala bama to leave her ports, and yet at the same time approve of the fitting out of vessels at our ports to aid the Cuban Revolutionists. Where is the consis tency here. Mil. Gkant has the honor of being the first President who conceived or tolerated tlie idea of prostituting the State Department to feed the vanity of a peisonal favorite. The B*o/-W very pertinently asks, “ Would or could anybody but Grant have been capable of sending to the Senate a nomination for such an office, upon a trade that the nominee should decline tlie cominis- T.'i !•: only sensible tiling which Grunt has been guilty of for some time, was his seekiug tlie advice of Cleuerai Lee as to Southern Reconstruction. The Radicals are in a great state of wrath that their J’resident should have con descended to solicit an interview with an unregenerate rebel such as Lee. Greeley on/jfonng.

Wo call, therefore, upon our partners in the Associated Press to institute forthwith a rigorous scrutiny, before sumo impartial arbiter or tribunal, of the changes against Mr. Young with re gard to the dispatches of the Association, proposing to take no part in that scrutiny unless we are made the party defendant, but insisting that Mr. Young, or whoever may be suspected or implicated, shall not be stabbed in the back, but shall have the fullest opportunity for explanation and de fense. We need not add that wo consider the offense alleged a very grave one, espe cially if the offender be one honored and trusted as Mr. Younghas been.

(.}, < lilckcits Come Home to Roost. The free-and easy political lettersef John Russell Noting, the managing editor of the New Y'ork Tribune, which we published Wednesday, showing how the editorial columns of that paper, unknown to its pro prietors, have been prostituted for individ ual gam, suggest some reminiscences of the past, indicating the' retributive justice which governs all thiDgs. In 184‘J, one Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, who bad been a “Canadian refugee patriot,” obtained a situation in tho Xew Y’ork Cus tom house. While there he stumbled upon the possession of a large number of letters, written years before, by prominent politi cians, such as Martin Van Buren, John Van Buren, William L. Marcy, Jesse Hoyt, B. F. Butler, of Xew York, Samuel Swartout, and others. These letters were strictly confidential, and no honorable man into whoso custody i hey bad fallen would have made any pub lic use of them. But Mackenzie, who had been a correspondent of the Tri&une, had no conscientious scruples. He took them to that journal, and its managing editors,with out hesitation, published them to the great ■ scandal of the writers and their friends. ! Twenty-seven years have passed away, anti we now find the managing editor of the Tribxtnc caught in the safde position in which Mackenzie, whom the Tribune had encouraged, placed sundry men of promin ence, in their day, in Xew York politics. I Mr. Young was, undoubtedly, ignorant I of the history of the paper with which he j was connected when he said “ that any ’ scoundrel who has private letters to sell l may find a market in a Xew York paper.’ ' We have shown how Mackenzie once aesir ed such a market, and how the Tribune supplied It. “ Curses, like chickens, come ; home to roost,” and, however Mr. Young ! may have been treated, it will not do fori him to ask for the T ribuue that which it : never conceded to othors,— Cincinnati En- < quiver. j The Public Debt Statement.

Leo, of Virginia, with the President of the United States has been the event of tho day, and has set all the quidnuncs to talking, and the trooly loii to swearing in the most profane manner. The General arrived at the Balti more depot in the early train iu company | with Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Taggart, of Bui i tiuiore, who had the honor of entertaining ; him iu tho monumental city. He was the object of much attentiou and eye-gazing iu the cars, but he sat very quietly, and con fined himself with his friends during the ninety minutes between the two cities. Tlie General was dressed in a gray pair of pan taloons, vest of a similar color, and a plain black coat, wearing a black slouch hat aud a dark spring overcoat, with kid gloves of a dark brown. His appearance is much the same as indicated iu the portraits which bavo made him familiar to the country, his j beard beiug of an iron gray color. When 1 the General stepped from the cars, there I were xcvernl who instantly recognized him and pressed forward to shake his hand. — Only a few of tbolnore forward succeeded, • as the General proceeded rapidly* to a car ! riage in waiting, and was borne at once to , the cottage of his old lriend, Mrs. Kernon, of Georgetown, with whom he will remain while here. Reaching Mrs. Kernou's at 1 about 10 o’clock, the General remained iu undisturbed retirement for about half au hour, and then proceeded in a carriage, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Taggart to the Executive Mansion. Meantime, there had gathered ntthe White House twentypersons principally office holders of the district, yet among them one or two Senators, includ -1 ing Thayer of Nebraska. Some of these, ! all of whom had been admitted by card, j were with the President at tho time. At 11 o'clock tho carriage in which Gen. Lee had ! come arrived, and by previous arrange ■ ment the General was quietly shown into the Red Parlor, whence he sent up his card to the President. The latter at once excus ed himself to those with him, and to those waiting for him, saying, merely, that he ; had a private interview arranged which : would occupy* as much time as he had to I spare during the day. Accordingly theyail 1 withdrew, aud the Prcsideut received Gen. Lee, whom the former had specially solicit |ed to come. Tho interview took place in ; the ordinary* private reception room of the ; Mansion, and lasted just half an hour. It j was strictly private, but it has become ! known that tho President to lind out exactly what were the sentiments of Gen. Lee, generally, as regards the .con : dition of the .South, and especially as to tho I condition of affairs iu his own State of ' Virginia. Gen. Lee, it has transpired, pretty ! much reiterated the sentiments of his lettQr of last year to Gen. briefly Ldeclared that the people of Vir ginia accepted the obligation of tho re construction acts in good faith, and were conscientiously desirous of cultivating and ! maintaining friendly relations between the • races aud towards all well disposed in i comers. Furthermore, that every eondi [ lion laid down by Congress had been com [ plied with bv Virginia, and that the larger j landholders had succeeded In retaining the : confidence of the late slave class, whom : they treated equitably and kindly. lie be : lioved thut the two things Virginia needed | and desired most, was, first, a full restora . lion to the Union, and second, a thorough I development of tho internal resources aud 1 works of tho State. Iu regard tothe present constitution, Gen. Lee said there were parts of it on which and for which the best men : of the State would bo glad to vots, but ! that if they had, or were to have, any thing to say as to the mode of , submission, ho hoped that the pro scription and disfranchising clauses might be referred separately, if this was done, ho believed that they would bo re jected, while the remainder of what, on the whole, was npt au unobjectionable docu j mem, would be adopted and State officers | j ami Congressmen elected thereunder who ' j couid, in record and oath, comply with the laws of Congress. lie referred to the Com mittee of eminent Virginians who eamo on last winter, ami to tho recent surrender of iheir ticket and the adoption of tho Con servative Republican ticket on the part of the Richmond Convention. This action met , his approval, aud it met the approval ofuil ! whom he considered tho most sagacious and unselfish men in the State. Indeed, except as to preferring 0110 set of men to a set of 1 adventurers, and except to wishing not to bo proscribed, there was substantially no 1 difference between tho parties in Virginia, if, indeed, there were two parties. This statement was drawn out of General Loo by a sories of questions correlated to the successive points of the utterance. The interview was oordiul and full, and the President is understood to have expressed his intention of submitting the disfranchis ing clause and other objectionable clauses uf tho Virginia Constitution to a separate vote. He said ho had intended to do so from the first, and further promised that a ! perfectly fair election should be held. He! concluded by expressing the hope that Vir- j ginia would soon be ready for full restora- j lion to her practical relations to the Union, I and with mutual terms of satisfaction at the interview tho two Generals parted. To night there is a bitter feeling, which find words, too small for publication, from sun dry loit red-mouthed fools, who are anger ed at the President’s haying solicited an in terview with tho immortal Virginian. This is the first time that Leo and Grant have met since each parted under the apple trto, 1 April 9, isdo.— World Correspondent. General Grant's Kejrnrd for Hi* Word—A Case in Point. A few weeks ago General Stephen Me- Grourty was in the City of Washington to see whether he, as a maimed and disabled soldier, who had voted for Grant, would bo removed by the latter from the position of Collector of Internal Revenue, which he held in Cincinnati. While there there he made the acquaintance of another soldier, a Collector in an interior district iti Now York, who had sustained even more injuries than himself. lie had lost both legs by a cannon-ball, below the knees, and hobbled around, to use the expression of McGroarty, upon trestle-woric. He was also in the Federal Capital to ascertain whether the mousing and stay-at-home politicians would be permitted by his old commander to discharge him from the service of the Government. This unfortunate veteran was rich in the possession cf a wife and seven children, . but had no wordly goods to support them. Ho was incapacitated for work, and relied entirely upon the income ot his oflice for a living. He had discharged the duties of Collector with fidelity, and had given, so far as he was aware, general satisfaction. General McGroarty, in company with this old comrade in arms, repaired to the While House to see the President. The soldier . from New Y'ork was first introduced and i made known his business. Grant express- , ed, in the strongest terms, his reprobation , of any one who would even seek the place 1 of so severely aD injured soldier, and gave i his wore} that, if it was done, he would nav ‘ uo attention to it. ' | General McGroarty soon afterward saw the President and presented his papers of recommendation from leading Repu blicaus in this city and elsewhere. Among them was a letter signed by Edwin M. Stanton, late Secretary of War, which was to the following effect: “ There may have been soldiers who have ns good an army record as General Mc- Groarty. There are certainly none who have a better.” Grant smiled when he received the papers, stated that McGroarty s military record was well known to him,and that he should not be disturbed. I Pleased beyond measure at the result of I their interyiew with the President, the two veterans left the White House together and repaired to their hotel. Relying upon the word of the President thus given to two of his old soldiers, they entertained no further fear of a dismissal. The very next morn ing at breakfast, the New York Collector was horrified upon perusing the city jour nals, for in the list of appointments made was that of a person to the office which he theri filled. lie almost fainted away. General McGroarty, al though bis faith was then greatly shaken in the President’s promise to him of reten tion, still entertained favorable hopes. But within forty-eight hours thereafter the name of Mr. Pullan went into the Senate as his successor, and disgusted and indignant be took the cars for the West. 1 This violation of his word upon the part of Grant requires little comment at our hands. It stamps him with personal dis honor. The dishonor is infinitely enhanced when we consider the parties to whom he] violated his engagement.— Cincinnati in quirer- j Chief Justice Chase opened the U. S. Cir cuit Court at Richmond yesterday. The “iron-clad” oath was dispensed with, and thejnry was altogether white. The legality of Judge Underwood’s decision, setting aside the action of State Courts having in eligible officers, will be argued to*day. rrK r n Besls | w ejection who shall neglect or refuse to law of this Commonwealth, or shall vole or o FP i TlfiitmactiuiLHti,■ nr or . caaso to be made, the indorse atterapttovoteatanygenernlorpreslden- onndllo uf.?
