General Note on Affair at the Capital. Washington, Juno 30. Tho peoplo of Sand Beach, und tho own ers of vi ssels who ure interested in the im provement of the harbor of refugo there, uro very much displeased at tho action of tho scnato committee in so lowering their appropriation as to make it of little or no service to them. Several of them have written to tho senators, Rerpesr ntative I u luting und Representative Stephenson, who ure members of tho houso committee on rivers and harbors, secured the inser tion of tho appropriation in tho houso bill, saying that if they had imagined the senat3 was antagonistic to this most Important improvement they could have flooded tho body with petition from all along tho chain of great lakes ia favor of Sand Beach. James O'Donnell has amazed tho houso nnd astonished the country by resurrecting tho Blair educational bill. When tho bill was defeated in the senate several months ago it was regarded us dead, not only for this season but for ever. It was not dis cussed in uny way in tho houso und even escaped mention in the house commitroeon education, of which O'Donnell is chairman. Thero was a well defined notion that O'Donnell was personally averse to tho bill and that in any event it was dead enough to need a monument.

Do said he did not think that a more serious subject had ever como Ufore the house. It demanded serious ami dolilierato treatment. It was not enough that elections were fair, ho said. They must be known to be fair. It had been charged that the bill was section al. The acts which it was proposed to ex tend had lxvn called into existence by the gigautie frauds in the city of New York prior to 1S70 and 1ST 1 . Mr. Lodge gave a description of the state of affairs at that time iu New York city, citing among other things the tenth district of tho sixth ward, where, he sail, the democratic vote (after throwing out all the other votes) was SS4, or 14 more than the total number of every man, woman and child resident in tho dis trict. In hi own state there had been complaint of the registration system, and accusations had been made that the lists were not right. If they were not, the bill would remedy the wrong thing. Ho said he did not believe that any body honest in intention would bo afraid to have the truth and 'the whole truth known. As to tho southern states it was apparent that many people believed that great frauds were thero committed. If the belief that such a thing as a fair election in tho south was unknown, tiien it was a high time tho United States should put a stop to tho evil if it had to exercise every jiowcr the consti tution put into its hands. Mr. Lodge pre sented a number of statistics to show the insufficiency of representation in tho south. He said that in 41 election distriits in the south the mcmljors were elecUd by uu average of less than 1.1.000 votes. DKTftOIT MARKETS. Jobbing Price. t. r.Low-i,. p-r n.

ONE OF LINCOLN'S LETTERS. ft Was Short, bat It took lllm Firs Hoars to Write IU Francis II. Piernout of Fairmont, V. fix., who is in rittbur; on private business, is tho well-known war over nor of Virginia. In the course of un interview he said to a N. Y. Sun cot respondent: "Mr. Lincoln's shrewd, ness as a statesman led him to careful ly weih every word lie spoke or put apon paper, ami to look at nil his DtUcial utterances from all points of riow and judo of their probable ef fect in ull quarters. An instance in point is his permission for tho rebel legislature of Virginia to meet for tho purpose of recaHiujj the state troops from Lee's army. That permission. Sfiven in a note to (Jen. NWit.el, occu pies but a doen lines in Nicolay and I lay's history in tho Caitury, but Mr. Lincoln himself told mo that its com position occupied live hours of intense mental activity. I regard the letter us 3 literary curiosity. I was the loyal crovernor of Virginia nt tho time, and Mr. Lincoln deemed it necessary to say something to me about so extraordinary a measure as permitting the rebel legis lature to assemble when a loyal legis lature, with a loyal governor, was in existence and was recognized by tho federal government. "Mr. Lincoln's note to Gen. Weitzcl read : '"It lias been intimated to roe that the gentlemen who have acted as the legislature of Virginia in support of the rebellion may now desire to assem ble at Richmond, and take measures to withdraw the Virgiuia troops and other support from resistance to tho general iroveniment. If they attempt it giye them permission ami protection, until, if at all, they attempt some action hostile to the United States, in which case you will notify them, give them reasonable time to leave.and at the end of which time arrest any who remain. Allow Judge CamplII to we this, but do not make it public "There seem to be nothing very wonderful about the composition of Uiat order," continued Gov. l'ierpont. "yet it took live hours to write it live hours of uninterrupted stillness, too. for it was written between 9 p. in. and 2 a. m. You see Mr. Lincoln's ditli culty. He knew that if tho rebel legis lature recalled Virginia relel soldiers the effect would be the same as if that number of men had beeu captured by (Jen. Grant. Yet he had studiously to refrain from recognizing the rebel legislature, and thus steer clear of tho loyal government of Virginia, and it required live hours' hard work to do this to his satisfaction and evolve an order which he could defend to all critics. I think no act of his adminis tration shows his political shrewducss more clearly. "Mr. Liucoln also told me, what is not mentioned by Nicolay and Hay, that he sent private instructions to Gen. Wcitzel to disperse 'the gentle men who have been acting as the legis lature of Virginia in support of the re beliou' as soon as they had withdrawn the state's support, thus giving them no opportunity to attempt any action hostile to the United States. but I do not think that this part of tho incident has ever been made public. "The sagacity of Mr. Lincoln is shown in. the events at Richmond after Gen. Weitzcl had shown the letter to Judge Campbell. The president knew the crafty meu he had to deal with, and he foresaw that an attempt would be made to construe his permission into a virtual recognition of the authority of the rebel legislature.. Such was the case, for in the call for the meeting of the rebel legislature, published iu tho liichmoud HVii, the committee an nounced that the military authorities of the United States had consented to the sesiion of the legislature in Rich mond, and stated that the matters to Ikj discussed are tlie restoration of peace to the Male of Virginia and the adjustment of the questions involving life, liberty, and property that have arisen in the states ;us a cou.seqtienco oi the war.

Through, the core of this forest we traveled lor thirteen months, and in its gloomy shades many scores of our dark followers perished.
