General Sherman and others that the Pres

and gladly availed himself of the
proceedings brought against General Thom
as, in order to anticipate the slow proceed
ings he must otherwise have adopted"to se
care a deciaion of the Court. He• further
ridiculed the:idea that the President's in:

had applied to Generals Grant, Sherman
and Thomas, men whom the country de
lighted to honor, to accept the - place which
it is now nofv alleged he wished to fill - With a

Groesbeck also contended that the Presi

law as long as possible was a strong point
in his favor.
Recapitulating his argument ;pp to this
point, Mr. Groesheck proceeded to consider
the question whether theßresident bad the
right to make the appointment ad interim,
and claimed he had such right under' the
act of /795. To show that the provisions of
that act applying to this act were not affect
ed ,by the law 0(1863, he made the same
argument advanced by Mr. Curtis, and went
onto instance various precedents of aindiar
appointments made while the Senate was in
session, dwelling at length on the case of
Holt, appointed by Buchanan to succeed
Floyd, which he said required particular
notice, because the Senate made particular
inquiry into it and called upon the Presi
dent for an explanation, which he gave to
their entire satisfaction, justifying himself
under precisely the same law to which Mr.
Johnson refers in his defence.
Passing over the 9th article with very
brief comments, Mr. Groesbeck read the
sedition raw, and said while it closely re
sembled the 10th article, it was much less
objectionable and offensive, for that, pun
ished the ptddleation of something coolly
written, *hire this made criminal. words
hastily spoken under trying provocation.
He then read a burlesque , law framed to
carry oak his understputling of that'article
which created great merriment.
'With regard to the eleventh article he
said he wouldjinly note the fact that the
action of the Prffildent , sending a tele

cies, to three-quarters of one per cent, on
the fl t fi ft y millions and five-eighties on
the nex fifty millions. It was understood,,
howeve , that this increase of commission
was. n t to enure to the.- benefit of
Cooke, inasmuch as he was directed
, to allow.to sub.a,gents and others the same
rates of commission that had been allowed
to them, and to pay all the expense,of ne
gotiating the notes. This arrangement was
continued on a larger scale by the present
Secretary." The Secretary further says "it
will be noticed by the schedules of sales of
7-30 notes that the commissions paid to
some subscribers were higher than those
paid to others. The explanation of this
fact is, that in order to induce large sub
scriptions one-half of one-pdr cent, was al
lowed by the Department as well as by
Cook to those subscribing for a million
of dollars and upwards, and from one-.
eighth to three-eighths of one per cent.
to those making small subscriptions. Since
the. Jay Cook agency terminated, sales,
when not made by the Assistant Treasurer
at New York, or by brokers employed by
him in special cases, have beeh conducted
through the agency of the First National
* Bank of Washington. The sales of gold
have been made through agencies selected
by the Assistant Treasurer at New York,
and under his direction Messrs. P. M. My
ers & Co. have for nearly three years past
been the principal agents, but other per-
eons or firms have been occasionally em
ployed."

The Secretary of the Navy in a reply to
theresolution of the House says: "Had the

ed it:injustice might have been done to
some of' the men and the Department been

Tetipondence hoLpaSsed between 'the Navy

the Sabine has nbt yet been - ordered out of
commission, as represented in the pream

be, and the men and apprentices be trans

Disabled Soldiers.
The Army and Navy Journal disco_
;
as follows of disabled soldiers, and apr
to the public for contributions - to raise;
support asylums. ( It says:
Since the war it. has' become custom.
for male beggars of all descriptions to *nal'
some part of the United States uniform, nnd'
also to furnish themselves with disoblige
papers, as a part of their stock in trade.
Before the rebellion, the large cities - lre
well supplied with mendicants' who had,
lopped off their' fair proportions; by some
accident or casualty, and- yet it is now ;lin
possible to find one of these fellows *lila,
according to his own account, was not slot
while bravely fighting for the Union..,,
What, then, has 'become of the supply lof
one-armed and one-legged cripples we' bnd
on hand seven years ago? They cannot_
surely'all have-died or become'honestlatkir
ers. Most of them, doubtless; are now Piir
suing their old calling in a new garb,
It would be as fair to claim that all the T earr
drivers and loafers who wear array overedats
are disnharged soldiers as that all the crip
ples who infest our streets are entitled to the
soldier's dress they s'o generally affect.
Even during the war many men who had
'lost limbs in civil life, unjustly obtabied
Government employment, by means l•pf
fraudulent papers, on the plea oit soldiers.
The writer-of this article,
in the latter pt
of the war, sat on a General Court Martial,
before which a one armed employe of the
Commissary Department .was tried. This
man had a discharge which stated that ;he ,
had lost his arm in the battle of Antieta,
although he confessed to the C6urt that ;he '
had never been a soldier, having lost his aim
in a threshing machine. 1,1
There are, doubtless, many deserving
men who, by the casualties of war, have,lin
a great measure, been deprived of the means ,
of gaining alivelihood ; but very few of the
city beggars belong to this class. We ao.::
sire not to be understood as casting any re
fiectign upon the real veteran, who carries -
on his person the evidence of his devotion.
to the Union, as our object is to protect idl .
such from the . disgrace which, is brought
upon them by impostors. A crippled sod)-:;
dier has an undisputed right to our sym
thy and assistance, and it is, therefore, the
more important to- separate the real frd
the counterfeit. . - l'i
How to be an Millionaire. I T
;i
As there is no Royal Road to Leirni r gn, 1
so also is there no short-cut to • exceptimid ;
affluence. It is possible according to ;
sta
tistics, for only one thousand men in ti i rs
United States to grasp $1,000,000 a yeiOr.
(Jr rather, such. a-grasp is impossible, for,, it
... .
would be a grab of all the surplus yeaily,
products 'of the Union, which no concei'v'e -,
able thoneand men could make sucessfuliv.
a writer in the Galaxy, however, enumer
ates - a few •of the conditions, • positive
and negative, which may be regarded as in
dispensable to the average achievement olio •

The Illinois Married Woman's Law. 'I
The Supreme Courtof Illinois has deel-'
ded upon the rights of a =urea Woman in
the conveyance of real estate. The question i•
.
at issue was whether the law, according to
the act of ;1861, does or does not give amar4j :
rued woman the power to convey her realty4l .
acquired since the passage of the law, with?;
out the consent of her. husband, Manifested [ .
