WASMIMION, March 12, 1.869.—The most
notable - event of the day was the visit of the Offi
cers of the Army and Navy and Marine Corps to
the Executive Mansion, to pay their respects to
the President. The Navy officers and offi,cers of
the Marine Corps waited on the President at
11.30, and were received in the East Room, by
His Excellency, without any spiech-maklng.
Previona to this, they called at the Navy Depart

This bropght the hour to, noon, when the army
Ilicers were introduced, headed by General Sher
,
man. and Grant shook hands with each with Out
.ny. speech-making. General Sherman wore his
, houldepstmps, with four stars gleaming in the
sonlight„and the meeting between him and Grant
was very cordial. The officers of both services
were in uniform, with side-arms, resplendent
w.th massive epaulettes and now clothes, which
pregented a gay and brilliant sight; for here were
assembled some of the most eminent men of the
tuition, wilt, • had .distinguished themselves on
land and sea by their bravery.
TEST/310191AL TO PCN/ATell SCOTT.
Senator Scott was honored with a banquet last
night by the retinsylvenia Itepublicsna'•. residing
in Washington, which was given 'at the Kirk
wood. About 169 participated. Senator Scott,
the guest of the evening, made an - excellent
speech, which indicates that he will become an
-cave debater la the Senate when public ques-
Vona are ender discussion. He is sound to the
core on Radicalism, but there is perceptible in
his manner a feeling of diffidence at his novel and
responsible position, which will soon
wear off in contact with the bright
intellects here with whom he will
soon measure swords. Speeches were also made
by Hon. John Cessna, Hon. John Covode, the
venerable Andrew Stewart, "Tariff Andy," as he
Is known in Pennsylvania, who is now in his
seventyninth year, sad spoke as firmly and
strongly as a man of forty. The occasion was a
very interesting one, and while It may be said
there were a :few office-hunters on hand, no one
was indelicate enough to make any allusion to
the subject which was so near the hearts of many
of those present. A band of music enlivened the
scene with some beautiful airs.
PEReONAL..
Senator Cameron hasgone to Harrisburg, and
will not return till Monday. He is almost run
down with office-seekers, and left for a few days
to seek some rest.
Judge Kelley hmi gone home, and will not re
turn till Monday.
Nothing will , be done in regard to Philadelphia
appointments before next week. The Treasury
Departmelt, under the new Secretary, will not
be in running order before Monday. Bontwelt
received a few applications for office to-day, but
made no promises. Commissioner Delano has
made no .recommendations for office yet, and
will not until he hasan opportunity of patiently
examining the claims of all the various candi
dates. EttrEIgIIEUANNA.
WINTER IN FLORIDA..
A private letter from a Philadelphia lady, so.
jot:inking at Hibernia, Florida, gives the follow
ing pleasant picture of the delights of a southern
winter :
" I wish you could see my present home. I
wish you could be here for about a month. How
you would enjoy it! You speak of our cold
weather, but you have little idea of what Florida
cold is. We have had an unusal number of
cloudy and rainy days, but for the cold, we had
the thermometer at 80 deg. on two mornings at
8 o'cicck, and a little skim of ice was brought in
as a curiosity. What Is called a bad day, reminds
me of a spoiled ehild in a pot, a dash of tears for
no reason under the sun, and then a bright, joy
ous laugh. So it Is with us; a dark cloud diving
us a dash of rain, and then a bright, flashing sun
shine. There is no sense of winter about it. ,
Everything looks lovely and green, the birds
singing, flowers blooming, nothing looks like
winter. As to . one , of our sulky, grown-up, ill
natured looking, cloudy, stormy days at the
North, you cannot even imagine it. There are
few days when the cheerful, happy people in oar
house are not to be seen on 'the croquet grounds
(for we have three), in a beautiful grove near the
house, or going off in parties in the numerous
boats for fishing, rowing, and perhaps flirting;
sometimes all three are well attended to In one
boat.
' "This Is a real Southern house, for you must
know Hibernia consists of one house, and it is on
an island; the house is right on the bright, beauti
ful St. John's river, and Its banks are a garden
In themselves of all the, different colors in green,
with tall Pines, and cypress and other trees fes
tooned with moss, and looking so delightfully
unlike anything you ever saw before. It is a
Southern house in all its characteristics, and
everybody in it very soon falls into that hisser
alter style of living, breathing and moving, but
not working. We breakfast indifferently as to
times, and after breakfast, the hall,.plazzas and
all outside place are filled with loungers. The
principal amusements, croquet and boating,•are
arranged for, and we have lovely walks through
shaded woods, which some make good use of.
"Ono great excitement are the mtill-days,and the
boats,which - always stop at - our landluk. Every
body goes dOwn to see them, and we sometimes
have the pleasure of a passihg word with.a
friend. If one had an untroubled epirit, this
would be almost unmixed beightness of enjoy
ment. As it is, nature has sweet, comforting In
lluences that are better than man's
words. We have boon looking Kin

as if it rejoiced in exalting and displaying '
own beauty:
'We have a natural park-like piece of ground
near the house, upon which all this loveliness
can be enjoyed, and we have a lorbly grove,
where we sit and read, wOrk, and, we have a
forest of tall pine trees to Walk through, where

mentioned it to the various. members
of the corps diplomatique, but nobody out of the
Vatican appears to have believed in it. Certain
it is that Filibec.k has been some weeks in &vim,
during which' the Pope has walked about, the
city and in the lonely roads without the wails,
yet the assassin has never availed himself of
tbese opportunities of carrying out his design:•

measures of repression.
The Marquis of Bute, after receiving the sacra
ment of confirmation, made an offering of
:300,000 francs (412,600) as a Peter-penny.
, A few days • ago a plan was submitted to the
; Pope for a new erection of which he
`woe asked to sanction. His Holiness replied—
"lf we commit the tendencies of the age, and
consider,the revolutiOns which are .agitating the
world, it is rot baallicas we shall feel called upon
to build, but•madhonses; for it is plain that the.
whole world is going mad."
The - Pope's forces are growing more amimore
disorganized, eo that no branch of his service re
mains Untainted. After the Sham-fight the other
day some Custom House officers who. were
present as spectatore fell into _a._quarrel with-
tome of the dragoons, which ended in u pitched
bouts: Two of the custom house officeraware,
mortally wounded. The lathe of the 'order for
ine addition of a fourth battalion to the Urban
Guard has affronted the Palatine Guard, and the
officers of this corps, being under no restraint of
discipline, have sent in their resignation in a
body. So every day produces some incident to
-bow that the various corps of the army have no
more cohesion than a rabble.
The celebrated Polish religieu.se, the Mother
Macrina Miecryalawska, who underwent such
cruel persecution in Russia during the reign of
the Emperor Nicholas, has arrived in Rome, and
teen assigned a convent by the Pope.
Some Italian journals allege that the French
Government, in order to justify the candidature
of Cardinal Bonaparate at the next Conclave, in
tends to procure the abrogation of the canon
Limiting the Papal succession to the natives of
taly. This statement is without the slightegt
toundation, as the canon no way affects Cardinal
Bonaparte,who, as you doubtless remember, was
~o rn in Rome,and is the son of a Roman prince.

English and American Churches.
The Pall Mall Gazette, arguing against union
of church and state, says
The American precedent proves, if it were ne
cessary to prove it, that a Church may thrive
without endowment on the other side of the At
lu and that Americans, at least, can organ-
Ike a gootworkhig body without assistance from
the Legislature; indeed, that they can develop
very nearly the Same peculiarities as the parent
Church, in spite of immense differences
in the condition ef. the country at large.
It would be useless to point out in
bow many respects the precedent Is inap
plicable to the state of things which estate in
ireland, and how many vested interests will have
obe swept away there before the Church could
make a clear start as it did in the United States.
Yet, if there were a will to do the same thing, it
s not too much to assume that.% way might pos
sibly be found.
Rossini's Rasa.
The Pall Mall Gazette of February 26 says:
Next Sunday, the day fixed for the first public
performance of Rossini's mass, will be, as nearly
as possible, the anniversary of the great com
poser's birthday. Ile Was born, not on the 28th,
but on the 29th of February, in the year (Is.ap
year) 1792. Rossini's mass has already Wen
beard by a certain number of musicians and
amateurs of music, before whom it was per
formed a few years ago at the house
of M. Ellett-Will. Moyerbeer, after hear
ing the mass, went home and addressed
to the composer (in Italian) the fol
lowing letter, which Is published by M. Oscar
Commitlant in yesterdays (Thursday's) Siede •
"To Jupiter Rossini. Divine master, I cannot
allow the day to pass without thanking you for
the immense pleasure given to me
by your last sublime creation. May
Heaven extend your life to the
age of a hundred, that you may write a few more
such masterpieces, and may God in His mercy
grant me the same number of years that I may
hear and admire 'these fresh proofs of your
eternal genius.—Your constant admirer and old
friend, G. Moyerbeer."
E ngl sh Opinions of Reverdy Johnson.
The Pall Mall Gazette says :
It must probably strike Mr. Eeverdy Johnson
as an unfortunate coincidence • that while he is
loudly asserting thegood will of his countrymen
towards ne, every other exponent of American
opinion indignantly repudiates his flattering
words. It requires no little courage for one man
to go on affirming that he represents the senti
ment of a nation' when the whole nation is loudly
contradicting him. Mr. Reierdy Johntion is un
intentionally embittering the relations between
England and America, by tempting Englishmen
to return open defiance for latent hostility. The
first conspicuous example of this dispositton may
be seen in a leading article of, the Times this
morning, where the Alabama controversy is
resolved into the question, "Who's afraid?'
When the writers on both sides of the Atlantic
set work. to prove that neither Power has any
thing to fear from war, it will look lit for the
prospect 01 "blissful, heavenly, happy pesos,"
which Mr. Reverdy-Johnson has even in ono of
his raphirotts visions. The Tines makes one
admission which does not help ue much:
filOR intfaiß cowiTity.
'toter- atieeetors were robber's and pirates,
sand the 'Americans are a step further from
itiat<Origin than we are, for we are an earlier
ink, I,n the chain." Our piratical propensities
hat,ii been done fulljustice to by the Americans
' ter fehr, years past. They are prepared to con
cede anythiug we like to demand on that score.
The !Tankers" correspondent of the Spectator
describes the feeling of the American people in
ilmosttlie very words which were recently used
in thisjonreal. "We can also wait for an op
; portunty of letting the British people read the
law of international comity by the light of their
own burning ships." "The figure which - Mr.
(Itererdl),Johneon cuts is really pitiable," says
Eaton of February 11. It is a gentler esti
, mate of Mr. Johnson's position to regard him as
lab ektreeditgly good-natured gentleman,who has
totallylaisconceived the opinions of his country
-men, andwhoss mission must for the present
pthrokfallure.

filen of - 11 Eat Tragic Eignt.
The Washington Star, of last night, contains
the following, 'in which it will be observed
Binckley makes himself a sort of hero:
To the Editor of the Evening Star:—lf you de
sire to give your readers the actual troth con
cerning an incident noticed by you yesterday,
here it is. I will, however, omit all facts but such
as admit no modification without downright
falsehood. Early yesterday morning I unex
pectedly saw. Mr. E. A. Rollins advancing from
due northeast corner of F street. When about
midway on the street-crossing .I advanced
directly to meet him. I said not
a word, but exchanged looks of recog
nition. When nearly within striking distance I
threw asidelny cloak (not my coat or hat), and
my cane, and raised my hand to strike. Mr.
Rollins hesitated not a moment. Leaving the
crossing be.passed diagonally through the mud
to the north side of F street. From the instant
that I liftedmy and Mr. Rollins ran like a rabbit,
and I confess, with poor exultation, that I chased
him like a dog along F street and up Fifteenth
for the distance of a square and a half, endeavor
ing from the first step to catch him. I never heard
his voice, nor was it possible for him to have
made any gesture or motion'but that of frantic
and headlong flight. To suppress my voluntary
resignation for the purpose of falsely converting
It into a shameful expulsion from office, would
not alone have lifted Mr. Rollins's frequent Blen
ders high enough for me to see them; but,having
contrived to get this one accredited to the world
by the President of the United States, I have, as
above sot forth, signified, and Mr. Rollins has
confessed its malice and meanness. It may be
proper to add that yesterday was the only time
for many years when I have had what the vulgar
call, a fight. Jour; M. BINCKLKY.

last week, by Dr. John W. Carrico. There had
been a difficulty between the parties two or three

two at Smith without effect. It is said that each
had threatened to take the life of the other. Early
last Monday mOrning Smith passed by Dr. Car

corn for that purpose in his arms. When he *as

ysterious Ilaovements of ex-tlon-
Setter/lute COnerlieiS—Aneged Views of
President Grant•
We clip the following from the ,Charleston
New: of the 10th, and publish it with the remark
that the story about Grant's connivance is un
doubtedly false.
There are so many persons in Charleston who
are now or who have been engaged in the Cuba
trade that great interest has been shown in regard
to everything that relates to• the progress of the
Cuban Insurrection. We cancot say that
the popular feeling has altogether been
on the side of the "rebelk" for men have
contrasted the merciless manner in which the
Southern "rebels" were treated with the
expressions of profuse sympathy which the North
can find for "the rebels' in Cuba and Crete. Yet
there has been a restlessness among the people
which betokens the awakening of the old spirit of
adventure and romance. This Is particularly the
ease among the young men, and for weeks past
it has been rumored that expeditions in aid of
the Cuban insurrectionists were fitting out on the
Georgia and Carolina coast.
We have not been able to obtain such informs-
UM as would justify us in saying positively that
any of thew expeditions have actually reached
their destination. Indeed, a too great publicity
Wottld awaken the "'vigilance of the Spanish spies
and would' make a sneceSsful landing difficult to
any but such men as those who ran the blockade
of Charleston so often during thelate unpleasant
ness. We may, however without compromising
any ono, say that Captain Frank Bonneau, one
of our most skillful mfirinere and bravest men,
has safely. arrived •in Cuba. Of him. no more
must be Bald at this Mordent.
A few days ago some surprise was excited by
the arrival in Charleston of General Jordan, for
merly chief of staff of General Beauregard, This
'ollicer moved about very quietly, and no sus
picions a 4 to his real object were entertained until
it was lottml, that he had disappeared from the
city. The report' is—andwe have no reason to
'doubt its correctneas- , -that General Jordan has
sailed for Otitis.
But this is tot all. , Prom what has leaked out
since the departure of General Jordanit launder.
stood that he ,is in full accord with President
Grant, and is acting with 140 knowledge and con
&zit. The new President has already said that
o
"Spain is entitled to n consideration at the hands
of the United - States, and' he is known to, be
strongly in favor ,Of • the acquisition of more
territory. Cuba would be a dainty mor
sel for the Radicals. .There would be' half
'a million , negroes to vote and legislate and
'play '!Old Harry" with the prosperity, of the
islapd.; sad there would be as .many white men
to rule bYmartial law, to Nebr Englandize, and,
finally," to teebriettruct. • No wonder that Grant
shill/141W in favor of acquiring enbak: It is true
.that.there may be a lion , in the path, but an ex
'cuse can be found for the suspension of
diplomatic relations. This could not better
be • done than on the • plea that Spain
was insulting and injuring American citizens.
This mby be the reason why General Jordan, it is
said, has been assured by President Grant that
if he falls into the hands of the Spaniaras no hair
of hie head shall be Injured. and that no Ameri
can who takes part in the insurrection shall be
improperly treated by the loyalists.
This is the story as it comes to ns, and we
should not be surprised if there were more start
ling developments in the course of the next few
wetks.
Abases in Iwo navy Department to• be
Remedied. •
The iY t r. Herald's Washington correspondent
writes:
Secretary Borie has turned his attention to a
number of loose matters that have been running
on In that department - for the - especial' 'benefit of
certain select parties, and has abaft made up his
mind to find a remedy for these "abuses." One
of them, which, it is said, will come in for early
attention, is the manner in which disbursements
are made In Europe for our navy. For the last
fifty years the banking house of Baring Brothers,
in England, has been receiving deposits from this
government intended for disbursement on ac
count of our navy. An old law reqpires
the Baring Brothers to acknowledge the
receipt of money deposited with them slxty days
after it is placed to their credit. They receive
the money now within a fortnight after it leaves
this country, so that they have the Ilse of the
money five or six weeks before they be
come responsible for it. For all moneys de
posited with them the Barlngs pay interest at
the rate of four per cent. per annam, and for
ail money they pay over and above the amount
on deposit they charge interest at the rate of live
per cent. per annum. A statement made out in
,he Treasury for the fiscal year ending Juno 30,
1868, shows that the United States Government
paid the Baring Brothers, 6115,000 for disbursing
$3,000,000, and the amount paid them averages
00,000 every year. It is probable that a finan
cial agent will be appointed from this country.

The writer in Le Derby traces Voltairp's,
or rather Arouet's, genealogy; from which it ap
pears that one of his maternal ancestors bore the
nathe of "Voltaire." Voltaire is known to have
despised his own legitimate name of "Armlet" as
"a peasant's unmet" and it is fairly surmised that
he adopted that of Voltaire as the best he could
find among those already borne by members of
his family. It is cratifying to observe that the

of knowledge in regard to horses alone.
