There una a large number of Senators and

eouio tlmo with the President. Ills time was
so occupied with tho Secretaries (Mr, Crea

there wus no public reception.
Tub Commissioner op Patents Thuro
seems to bo a good deal of pressure for tho
ofllco of Commissioner of Fitleuti, although
It Is not certain that the present commis
sioner will resign or be removed. Among
the prominent applicants are Geu. Burbrldgc,
of Kentucky, Mr. Thayer, Slate Senator of
New York, aud Judgo Samuel S. Fisher, of
Cincinnati. Judge Fisher h an eminent
patent lawyer, formerly of the firm of Lee &
Fisher, and Is thought to hue tho Instdo
track should auy change bo made.

Tub CoMiimioNBit or Ppnh ions. The
contest for tho position of Commissioner of
Pensions waxes warm between the friends
of Messrs. Perham nud Vun Acruam, aud
there seems to be somo doubt which, If
either, w 111 succeed. It Is now understood
that the resignation of Gocrnor Cox was
not demanded by the Serretary of the In
terior, but Has voluntarily tendered by Mr.
Cox to relieve the President of any embar
rasimcnt which might grow out of the pres
ent presiuro for office. A number of Influen
tial gentlemen hare appealed to tho commis
sioner to withdraw his resignation, and In tho
erent of his declining to do so, will uso their
Influence to Induce the Secret try to deUiuo
Its acceptance.
OrriCRiis of both the Union Paclflc and
Central Pacific rallroids haro decided not to
hare auy opoulug or other excuralou over
their roads this summer, for the reason that
It Mill take all their tlmo aud rolling stock to
do the legltlntuto business our the roid and
to get It In il ret-thus conditional everything
has so far been sacrificed to mi early con
st met Ion. Thoyhavcglvcu all the members
of Congress free passes over the roads, hlch

CotsiDBiUTio op Treaties bt toe
SEfATB. -The Senate dcrotod yesterday to
tho consideration of treaties, and advised
the ratification of those negotiated with
Baden, Wcrtcmburg, Hesse aud Belgium,
defining tho rights of naturalized cltircns,
Thcso four treaties are substantially on tho
bails of tho original naturalization treaty
made with North Germany by Mr. Bancroft!
Consent was also given to tho ratification of
a consular convention with Belgium, and to
a convention with that Government for the
mutual protection of trade-marks. Tho
Senate next took up tho Cushlng Inter
oceanic canal treaty with tho United Slates
of Colombia, which Mr. Sumner explained
nt length. The Importance of the rtncstlon
evidently Impressed Itself upon Senntors,
and as somo of them desired to examine It
moro carefully, tho further couildcratlon
waspostponed until Wednesday Mr. Sum
ner E&to noltce prior to adjournment that he
would to-day call up the Alabama claims
treaty. Tho correspondence on this subject,
which the President ordered to be printed
prior to the adjournment of tho regular ses
sion, will make eight or ntno largo volnmes.
A Relic Faesehted to thb President.
About IS06 an attempt was made to restore
the tone to tbo old Independence bell, of
Philadelphia, which had becu cracked by a
singular coincidence while ringing a Fourth
of July morning peal. It was thought that
by cutting away a small portion of the metal
on either side of the crack, so that tho two
sides would not como In contact, the tone
ratght be restored, but the experiment failed,
as It was found that the crack extended Into
the crown of the belt. Tho filings Mere,
however, carefully saved and made into
several forms to bo presented as relics. A
ring with a signet setting made of this
precious metal was worn by the late John
Minor Botts, of Virginia. That gentleman,
prior to his death, requested tbit this ring,
which he bad worn, should be given to Geu.
Grant, whom ho considered tho most fit re
cipient of the relic, and on Wednesday last
John F. Lewis, of Roeklnghim county, Va.
hts administrator, pwnlcd the ring to tho
President In compliance with the request of
sir. uotts. If we mistake not, mo have ob
served upon Gen. Grant's watch-guard ono
of the very lew miniature bells made from
tho same metal.
The Dipi.ouat7o Nomination-.. The
nominations sent to the Senate yesterday for
diplomatic offices abroad cannot fall to giro
satisfaction and to convey an assurance that

halls, corridors and lobbies Mere crowded
with office-seekers, who bultoii-holod Sena

taches, and everybody else Mho was up
posed to hae any Information to communi
cate. Tho galleries of the Semite were alio
well filled at tho opening. After nu Impres
sive prayer by tho Chaplain, tho presiding
officer directed the Secretary to roiJ tho
President's proclamation concerning the ex

Mr. Edmunds, the Senate then went Into ex

medlitcly cleared and the doors wcro doAi'd.
The crowd of office sockei still hung
about the doors uud p linages, however, till
anxiously awaiting the arrival of tho Presi
dent's private secretary with tho nomina
tions. Whllo theso expectant were "watch

patient people In tho world, but very good
humor prevailed all the while. Tbo news
paper correspondents also waited patiently
foruuurrlval from the White Home. Tho
nomluallonsbavo heretofore been announced
In the rcpoitcrs' room, In the rear of tho
galler),but yesterday they were Informed
that the announcement would liu inndo lu
the Sccretiry's office. Table weio tbero

noyance by the Intrusion of the crowd In the
Secretary's office that the clerks and env
pi oj cos were compollod, In self-defence, to
close and lock the doors.
Tub Post Orptcs Department. Tha
crowd of applicants at alt tho Departments
seemed to open tho week campaign yester
day with renewed vigor, and at nouo more
vigorously than at tho Post Office. Depart
ment. Postmaster General Crcswett left
early In llio day for the White- House, Mlth a
large budget, and Mr. Earle, tho First As
sistant Postmaster General, found himself
compelled to close tho door to all but Senators
and members.
As showing the pressure upon tho Post
master General, wo will sUto that a worthy
young man who has spent several years on
tho platns, has, being without Congressional
backing, been In attendance In tho anto-room
since tha &th of March, and has thus far
failed to secure an interview with tho Post
master General.
Quite a number of route agents were ap
pointed yesterday, aud others are marked
for appointment. It seems to bo the general
Impression that at soon as the Congressional
demands In regard to postmasters are hoard,
some changes will bo mado In the employees
of tho Department proper.

Tub Hon. Jas. F.Wilson left this evening

On the evening of the day of the Inaugura

to come nud sec him nt hi house. Mr. Wil
son accordingly went, and the President then
asked him to become his Secretary of Stato.
Ho said that Mr. Wnshbiune expected tho
place, and It was duo to him ilmt he should
be umwltitod, but lmmcdl ttul on his coullr
matlon lie would resign, and then lie would
appoint him (Wilson.) Mr. Wilson nt first
declined tho offer, pleading that he Mas unQt

ho finally agreed to accept. The ucxt day

Ax Important Decision Tub STATBor
Texas vs. Wiiitp, Ciiiieb ax Others.
Among the cases In which opinions wcro de.
lirercd In the Supremo Court of the Unttcd
States yesterday was that of tho State of
Texts vs. Gcorgo W. White, John Chiles,
John A. Hardcnbnrg and others. Thts case
has excited a good deal of Interest nnd In
volved somo very Interesting points. The
opinion waa delivered by Chief Justice Cliase,
aud the case was detcrmlucd In favor or the
Slate or Texas. At the breaking out or the
rebellion the Stato of Texas had in Us pos
session several hundred thousand dollars
worth of United States bonds, which had
been paid to It upon the settlement of Its
northwestern boundary. During tho rebel
lion the Insurgent government leired tho
State treasury, and, among other property,
the said bomls, and subsequently disposed
of the bonds to White, Chiles & Co. on a
contract, and White, Chiles & Co., at tha
close of the war, took them to New York
and sold them to different persons, disposing
of some In England. The sales were made
by White, Chiles A. Co. after the maturity
of tho bonds. A bill was tiled In the Su
preme Court by the State of Texas against
White, Chiles A- Co. and all other pur
chasers and holders of tho bond, the State
seeking to set aside the contract whereby the
Insurgent government sold the bonds origi
nally) and they asked a decree that the
holders should pay tho same over to the
State or account for them.
The questions raised In Hie argument Merc
of grave Importance nud iurolvcd the rela
tions of Tcxus to the Union and the Constitu
tion during the Mar) the character and author
ity of her government uud tho relation of tho
State to the Union since tho war, and the
character of her government since that time.
Tho opinion of the Court determined that the
tho State m as ncv cr out of tho Union or freed
from her obligations to tho Federal Govern
ment, notwithstanding lie State government
during tho war was hostile to tho Constitu
tion, and could uot be rccogulzcdly tho Fed
eral Government t that the object of the war
was to overthrow thu hostile gov eminent nud
cnablo tho State to re-csUblUh government
In harmony w 1th tho Constitution of Ihe Fed
eral Union, and that when tho war was over
Iho insurgent govcrumcut, which had never
been anythlug but nu usurping authority,
ceased to exUt and tho United Stales held
tho possession of tho territory and tho con
trol of the coplo for the purposo of ena
bling them to reorganize a Statu government;
that the provisional gov erntnent established
by Mr. Johnson, audof which Hamilton Mas
the Governor, the subsequent government
under the constitution of the Slite of which
Throckmorton wns Governor, aud the pre
cut government, of w hlch Pcaso Is Governor
under tbo authority of tliii mllltiry com
mander of tho dUlrltt, were all such gov
ernments as could projeriy represent the
Stato lu the Supreme Court ol tho Untied
States.
Tho Chief Justice in dcllv crlug the opinion
avoided by express statement any opinion as
to ino consiuuuon iiuy oi iuo reconstruction
nets, and decided that tho Insurgent govern
ment could mako no valid contract convey
ing the title to tho property of tho Stato of
icxas, aim mu as ma ptircniscrs oi inoso
bonds from the original holders took them
after they had matured they could acquire
no better title than the parties from whom
they obtained them, aud that tho State Mas
therefore entitled to the full relief prayed for
In the bill.
The case was at gm d In Felmnry I.ul by
.Messrs, lucnird i . .vicrriCK. oi ni cuv. and
Judge Paschal for the Si ite of Texas. At
mo close or .Mr. Merrick n argument, which
was loni; nnd exhaustive, lie was hUhlv

questions Involved aud Iho talent emploved

Washington, which I had found so dull
and deserted during tho whole of tho preced
ing summer, had suddenly assumed that air
oi animation and joy which characterizes
every year tho return of Congress to the cap
ital of the Union.
This year the festivities were still noisier
and more frequent, and everywhere n great

lmrtonmust havo ererv winter n hero no less
than Paris,) aud he had thlt advantage over
most of such heroes, he alone remained calm
and modest amid the noise and uproar. His
glory did not Intoxicate him. The coming
man, as he Mat called the political Mcs-
siau remained indinercnt. lie was as al
ways, taciturn nnd thouchtful. In a countrv
where people talk too much, at least tn public,
and where they are not slow to act.
I should havo been sorry to bid farewell to
the United States without rrolnc to salute the
?rcat man, and so I requested: tho Senator
rota Massachusetts, Mr. Charles Sumner,
to present mo to him. Circumstances were
very favorable to me. Two days afterward
i wci mc ucucrni a. me iiouse or ino sen
ator from New York, Mr. Morgan, who had
Invited somo of tho foremost citizens of tho
country to a rrala dinner.
SIuco tbo days of Tallcvraud, who said be
had found in the United Slates thirty-two
rc-ugiuua uuu a aiDgio uisu, ino Americans
havo scarcely made auvprocrcss so far as
culinary matters aro concerned. Neverthe
less, we remained at Senator Morgan's house
or iurco toug nours ai me lauie, os u be
hooves guests Invited to this kind of semi
official feasts.
During the whole of that time the great
man of tho day, w bom people tried to make
talkative, and who, for that reason, perhaps
no longer drinks anrthlne but water, had
uot opened his mouth except at very ruro In
tervals. Grant no doubt thought of all the
Past dinners which bo had been made to un.
ncrgo, audoi mose m men were yet in store
for him. At tbo close of tbo bunquet the
Prussian Minister, for the purpose of render-
iug mis uieianciioiy ieai moro cueeriui,
said to tho future President that, at the in

It was at the end of this dinner parly that
i uaa mo uonor oi ucing presented to tue
General. Ho held out his band to me ac
cording to the American fashion, and I sat
down by his side. I should have probably
rcmauira suiiag mere upio ma present unie
had I Malted ou the General to speak first.
So I opened the conversation and told him
I had recently visited the Paclflc railroad.
tho country of tho Mormons, tho silver
mines or Nevada, and the gold digging of
California. I gave him to understand how
much Interest I had taken In all tho great
and curlout things which 1 had teen, and
freely expressed the admiration which I en
tertained for America In certain respects.
The General, drawing all the while a few
clouds from his cigar and tipping tho coffee
wmi. u miii uvku aervuu to uim, iQicrrupiou
mo repeatedly for tho purpose of Informing
mo that ho had also visited tho same places.
But during tho whole of our conversation
not a fibre of his face vibrated, his mask re
mained Impenetrable) his countenauce, with
the rough, angular features, was rigid and
as If petrified. "Ho Is a man who never
laughed since his birth," said a Washington
lady of him.
I cued lu piofound cmoilou at tho head I
had before me. Is that tho face of a vulgar
man, destitute of worth aud talent, and
should people havo been mistaken In icgurd
ta him, as somo persons have asserted ?

When I had taken leave of the Generil, I
had the honor of belug presented to Mrs.
Grant. 'I am a poor Woetcru woman," she
said to met "fortune has overtaken uj we
did not run after It." I admired this elmpta
womiu, with her burglar-like mauuers, but
full of lommoii sen so and tact, aud whom
her sudden elevation had not caused to lose
her balance. 1 was told Iter hmbaud con

"The fultlllmeut of duty should precede alt

. Tho Union had need of such a representa
tive. Never, since the days of Washington,
hod to great a character been found. One
might havo despaired of tho Republic, In

After the father of tho conn try, tho Adamses,

Litis la the rnanageoKiat of publlo affair
that the statesman reveals himself aa tho
soldier does In the breach, and In that tenso
a Democratic Republic It a happy system,
Inasmuch as It does not etemlM the offices,
and offer all good clt! not an opportunity
to display their talents.
The Union will certainly overcome, under
tho new Administration, all tho d I faculties
by which It It now surrounded. The paci
fication of tho rebel States It mrcreislnir
quietly, and party passions will die away of
themselves.
The financial and commercial crisis which
menaeet the country will, no doubt, pass
away bofore It has time to como to a head.
Tho national debt will be paid gradually,
and, above all, the greenback currency wtll
be got rid of. A moderate tariff, the only
kind worthy of a liberal country, will proba
bly be adopted. The taxos will bo reduced,
corruption wtll disappear, and confidence
everywhere bo strengthened. Snch Is tho
talk Imposed upon tho new President. It Is
not too much for bit strength, for he will
know how to surround himself with tho
most honest and intelmrent asalatanta. to do
everything well andJsaiTsfactorlly. It It not
in the extreme West that signs of decadence
