WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24, 1869. WASKIXflTO?r GOSSIP. No Mti-ttary or Naval Mkv to <;kt Cabinkt Positions.? But though thus in dependent in his dealings with tho politi cians, General Grant is becoming quite free in conversations with his old frienda. Thus yesterday he had a long interview with an old Connecticut acquaintance, a gentleman who was his trusted and trusting friend before he had become the pet of for tune, and when, indeed, friends were 6carce and needed. In his communion with this friend yesterday Goneral Grant appears to hare been more unreserved than usual. He spoke freely of his view? on public ques tion" and about his Cabinet ; and, without giving names, stated the kind of persons be should try to select. From this unfold ing of his views, which I get in such a way as to leave no doubt as to their reliability, it appears to be fixed that no purely military or naval man will be invited to a seat in the Cabinet. He remarked on that point that he considered it would not be for the bene fit of the Government, the arm}', or tho r.avy. to appoint an army or navy officer to n Cabinet position. He regarded such selections as detrimental to tho military and naval service, and not beneficial to the civil branch of the Government. " I shall invite civ ilians to fill all f Doubtful? Jul. I)i>p<i'ch} the Cabiuet positions," said Ge neral tirant, " and if my selections should not prove judicious in the first instance, I '?hall feci mjself justified in correcting the i'tu'cc by making a second or third selec tion if necessary." These arc said to be aln.ost literally his words, and bear out his utterance to the congressional committee t ;:rtt waited ou him the other day. This fouM seem to set^at rest the stories in cir culation as to the ccrtuin appointment of > oh, 'fold and Porter respectively to the di rt :i u of the War and 5\avy Departments. . i.-r t. >'[ ? o 7 id cnce Jhra Id. E\ i I'F.nces ok a Coming Storm. ? Grant's resj 'use to the congressional committee that informed him of his election shows that in the matter of the selection of his constitutional advisers he does not intend t ' o dictated to or embarrassed by any of the customary influences, lie indicates plainly enough that he wants to be let alone on that subject ; tbat he does not invite advice from any quarter *, and that, iu fact, he will regard volunteer contributions in th t line as simply impertinent. Of course he did not say this so plainly as I put it ; but it in undoubtedly what he meant, and what the leaders of the Republican party believe he intended to convey. 1 say they believe it, but they do not at all relish it. S 'U:e of them already snv he is mounting too hitrh a horse, putting on too many airs, and treating with contempt the old and tried statesmen of the country. Is he any better, quoth they, than former Presidents, that he scorns to consult with senators and representatives whose fidelity to the Union has been tried over and over again, whose wisdom has been acknowledged on all hands, and whose honesty is above sus picion ? This evidence of mortification and disap pointment on the part of some of the old lva lers, and the bulk of them at that, bodes a coming storm. There is a rumbling in the political elements that pretty certainly i' Ik itcs a thundering time ahead ? athun ?itnng tlr.it CHLU.-t remain pent up bng after the -llh proximo. ? Correspondence Jkrald. Tiik Order to Believe Grant. ? The /.'? ' Washington correspondent gives the lowing latest development relative to the ? rJersaid to have been issued to relievo General Grant from command when before 11 time ngo a search was made in J the v.'.tr Department for that famous order ! i recting Banks to relieve Grant of his (?winn ml i efore the capture of Yicksburg. The . ' arch ut that time proved unavailing, 1 ut further investigation bincc has led to the rec very of an old letter-hook of Gene ral Halleck, containing all the correspond ent e on the subject, including the order for ( ? removal of Grant. rlhe ordt-r was sgncd by Halleck, but -was of course in spired by Stanton, who at that time direct el nil the correspondence of Halleck. This i- the truth of the whole story. General Hunks's friends are urging him to give all the papers in his possession on the subject tj the public, but he still refuses to do h o." The Darkies and the Inauguration Ball.? In the matter of the inauguration ball the irrepressible nigger has come up once more. A darky named Kichardson has informed Mayor Boweu that a number ? if his dusky relatives and friends meditato coming along here from Philadelphia and New York to attend the ball, and wants to know if any objection exists as to their free and happy amalgamation in the dance with the white folks that may be present. Uowen replies that any person of respectable cha racter and standing in the community who applies for a ticket will not be denied, the i;uestionof color never having arisen in the committee, and the Ethiopian was forgotten for the nonce. This, however, will spoil i h? whole atlair, as the veriest Radicals ii m no desire for the proposed amalgama tion. Ad an evidence of the determination of the negroes to attend the inauguration ball, one o: them, a scavenger in one of the wards, has bet $100 that he will be present, and has put up the money. If Bome action is not taken about the matter in time a row may happen. ? Correspondence Herald. General Grant's Staff.? On the 4th of March next, when General Grant ceases to he commander of the army, or sooner, if he should resign before that time, the com mand -will devolve upon Lieutenant -General W.P. Sherman, the next in rank, and all of General Grant's oilic -ra will formally ten der their resignations. If General Sherman should not reappoint them, General Ilawlings will still remain a brigadier-general (it is believed that he will be nominated to some good civil posi tion) ; General Badeau will fall back on his commission as Orst lieutenant of the lourth infantry ; General Porter will fall back to major of the Ordnance Department ; Gen eral Comstock will be major of the engi > ?er corps ; General Babcock will be also a major in the engineer corps ; Colonel Par ker will be a first lieutenant of the sccoud cavalry ; General Dent will become a major of the fourteenth infantry, but will, it is thought, go with the President to the White House ; Colonel Leet will continue as major in the Adjutant-General's Department, and Colonel Webster will be assigned to some important post in the Quartermaster's De partment, if not retained by General Sher man, which is more than probable. H unit ington Efpre&ti. Bills that IIave Become Laws With out the President's Signature. ? The President has notified the Senate that tne following bills has become laws without the signature of the Executive, by reason of the expiration of the ten days allowed by law tor him to return the same with objec tions having expired : Bill for the temporary relief of the poor and destitute people in the District of Co lumbia. This bill, it will be remembered, appropriates $30,000. Kesolution respecting the provisional go vernments of Virginia, Mississippi Texas. This joint resolution provides lor the removal of all persons now holding civil offices in Virginia, Texas, or Miesis sippi, who cannot take the oath as pre scribed by the tct of July 2d, 1802, and Authorizes the district commanders to fill ! the vacancies created by the removal of such persons. j Resolution relative to the recent con tract for stationery for the Department of the Interior. The above bills were presented to the President on the Gth instant. Bather thk Better of Greece v.? Tho following we copy from the New York World t " Th c Tribune grately announces that all efforts hitherto made to civilize the Ameri ; can Indians have 1 failed for the reason that those who made them did not consider that man progresses by short advances, never by including in one advance and in one age the aggregate oj advances which have marked through many ages the progress of the Caucasian race "Are you there, old Truepenny ? 11 What chastisement, then, do not your Radicals, in and out of Congress, deserve who have risked the whole future of Ameri can liberty by insisting that we shall ' in clude in one advance,' for the ignorant and degraded slaves of the South, the ' aggre* ! gate of advances which have marked through many ages the progress of the Cau casian race ' from tribal servitude in the East up to universal suffrage in the West ? " Daring Highway Roijbery. ? We arc informed that on Saturday night last a young man named Deaver, living at Browns burg, Rockbridge county, who was return ing homo from Lexington, where he had been to sell a wagon-load of produce, was waylaid by two men about six miles from Lexington, knocked from the horse he was riding, and which was hitched to his wagon, I and robbed of between fifty and sixty dol { lars in money. The blow he received stun ] ned him for some time, and when he re | covered he found both his horses and wagon gone. The young man managed to make his way to the house of Mr. Kerr, near by, and related the oircumstance to that gen tleman, who immediately started in pur suit of the highwaj'men, but up to the last accounts had discovered no trace of them or the property carried off by them.? Lynchburg Neics, At a later hour the same night the stage, on its way from Goshen to Lexington, was halted by two men ? one white and one black. There was but one passenger, and neither he nor the driver were armed, so the latter put whip and got rid of the as sailants. They were supposed to be the same persons who robbed Deaver. A Horrible Tragedy. ? Memphis, Feb ruary 21. ? A horrible tragedy occurred on Friday night three miles west of Raleigh Springs. A party of white men went to the house of Colonel Thomas Dickens, while he and two men, named Wilson and Humphrey, were eating supper, and knocked at the door, which was opened by Humphrey without saying a word. The party shot Humphrey through the body, and with knives in hand rushed into the room, put out the lights, and then com menced tiring at Wilson and DickenB. Dick ens received one ball in the body, and with Humphrey managed to crawl out of the j room. Colonel Dickens made his way to a ! neighbor's house and gavo the alarm. On i returning with a party of neighbors a co lore! female servant of Colonel Dickens was found dead near the front door. Wil ' son's body was found in the room with eight j shots through it and badly cut to pieces. ; Humphrey was found badly wounded. The assassins plundered the houee, taking eve rything of value, rilled the pockets of Wil son aud the negro woman, and took two valuable horses from the stable and es caped. Terrirle Accident? Five Men Dan gerously Wounded. ? We learn that ahor liolt* accident occurred at Mossy Creek, on j the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, I on Friday lft&t, by ?which five men were I dangerouBly, and two of them probably fa ; tally, wounded. It appears that the section hands at Mossy Creek, seven in number, de l sired to come to the section-house, five miles I east of Mossy Creek, and fastened their I hand-car to the rear coach of the passenger i train to make the trip. When about tvro I miles east of the station, and the train run ? ning at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour, a wheel of the hand -car broke, pre ! cipitating the men upon it on the track, and terribly mutilating all but two of them, who escaped with but slight injuries. At the last accounts none of the wounded were dead, but it was thought impossible that two of them could survive. ? Lynchburg News uj yesterday. Extraordinary Effects of Neural gia? A Man throws $40,000 into tub Fire. ? W. J. Bradley, who for some time past has been in tho employ of J. Or. Rcau ! ing & Co., spoke-dealers of Frenchtown, Hunterdon county, and who acts as agent , in buying lumber for the firm, started for the South not long since, partly in the dis charge of his business engagements and partly to settle up an estate of his which had been lying for a long time past in an unsettled condition. Having arranged mat ters satisfactorily, he started for French town, where he arrived on Saturday eve ning last, laboring under a severe attack of neuralgia in the head, brought on by exposure and cold. Ar riving late in the evening, he had no opportunity to deposit his money, and so placed it in the bottom of hiB trunk, in his bed-room, with the intention of depositing it in the bank on Monday morning. Gra dually the neuralgic pains increased until Mr. Bradley was rendered temporarily in sane ; and while at the height of one of theae severe spells on Sunday evening he took the money from his trunk and threw it into the stove in the bed-room, and in an instant a fortune was lost. His wife had just left the room ; and upon returning found, to her astonishment, nothing left but the envelopes which had contained the pre cious stuff. Madam Humor has her usual number of stories, and the exact amount is as yet unknown. Part of the money was in greenbacks and part in United States Government bonds. ? Newark ( N . J.)

Jfelo York, Febhiary 22. ? A pre j liminary mcctingof the officers of the Army of the Potomac Fan held here to-day, and was largely attended. Among those pre j sent were Generals Slocum, Siegel, Frank lin, Wright, McCIellan, Butterfield, Ingallf, Newton, Gibbons, Pleaaanton, Carey, Heintz elman, French, Bicklcs, Hancock, A. Den nieon, R. N. Bowerman, and Colonels J. ! Rigby and R. M. Smythe, of Baltimore, and hosts of others. The meeting was called to order by General Butterfield, whe briefly stated tho objects of the call, and nominated the senior officer present as tem porary chairman ; which prevailed, and General McCIellan took the chair. Committees were appointed to fix the time and place for the grand meeting and reunion. A committee cn permanent or ganization, by-laws, and constitution, was appointed, consisting of two from each corps. Monday, the 5th of July, and New York, were finally determined upon, and made unanimous, as the time and place for the grand reilnion. It was decided that permanent organization be made at that time. The utmost harmony and good feel ing prevailed. The meeting adjourned to July 5th, after a session of two hours. Railroads in* Maine Blockaded by Ice. ? The trials of railroading have been severely felt by the Androscoggin railroad the paEt few days. In the vicinity of Farm ington, and quite a distance this side, the fall of snow has been very much larger than here, and the heavy sleet storm of Monday resulted in thoroughly freezing up the road. Tuesday three engines and a snow-plow left Farmington and went on swimmingly as far aa Livermore, where they encountered a belt of ice, which threw olF two engines, damaging them seriously, turned the snow-plow " end for end," and damaged the track badly. By the time the engines were on the track everything was frozen up, and tho only remedy for opening the road is to pick out the ice, which has been done thus far for about twenty-five miles by hand. The train wa3 at Leed's crossing at noon Friday, and it was hoped would reach here by to-night, i There has not been an engine over the Farmington branch of the road since Mon day. This morning the Farmington freight train encountered heavy snow and ice drifts, and had to put back for a snow plow. The snow is very deep and very icy on that quarter of the road. ? Leicislon {Me.) Journal , February 19. China? The Religious Difficulties at an End? Important Proclamation of the Chinese Authorities. ? The subjoined pro clamation in regard to liberty of worship in China has been issued by the authorities of the Celestial Empire : " Ma, Governor-General of the two Kiacg Provinces, Imperial Commissioner, &c. ; Tseng- quo-fan, late Governor- General of the two Kiang Provinces, Imperial Com missioner, &c.; Ting, Governor of Kiang Su, hereby issue a proclamation for general information : Whereas the preaching of religion is sanctioned by treaty, and all persons are at liberty to bccotne proselytes thereto as it suits their convenience, without compul sion either for or against, we therefore is sue this proclamation to give the popula tion, civil and military, of these districts to know that it is required of them that they carefully observe the treaty which has been concluded by our most gracious sovereign the Emperor, and that they must not annoy religious establishments, nor raise pretexts ; nor must they treat foreign travellers with wanton disrespect. Every wilful offender will certainly be visited with heavy pun ishment, without hope of pardon. Obey with trembling ! A special procla mation, 27th day, (Jth month, 7th year of tho Emperor Tung Che. V KI?U(-jr?l>?K. ? iiiy aueiuiuu ui unvcii-; tors seems at present to be directed to the construction of velocipedes, and new ma chines of every description are reported. Thus, a New York mechanic lias devised a monocycle, or single machine, which con sists of a "wheel eight feet in diameter, with a tire six inches wide, or two narrow tire6 on its outer edges, with two sets of spokes connecting with a double centre, which ?lls the place of a hub, the two sides of which are two feet and a half apart. The operator is in the middle, and propels the wheel by a simple yet curious appara tus, in which both bis weight and his mus cles are brought into pl:iy. In Detroit a three-wheeled velocipede has made its appearance, which is described as follows : The wheele are forty-two inches in diameter, and are propelled by means of a double hand-crank, no treadle being used. On each side of the hub of the for ward wheel is a grooved pulley, and at tached to the straight portion of the crank are two more pulleys, the four being con nected by belts. At each revolution of the pulleys the venicle is propelled a distance of sixteen and a half feet, and when an ordinary rate of speed is attained, it runs quite easily. Its weight is forty-nine pounds, and the inventor claims that it will sustain two hundred pounds. Nevertheless, the reporters are chroni cling accidents by the velocipedes. One man has had a leg broken. It is very clear that these conveyances will only suit pave ments and hard roads. Fall of a Steeple.-? A steeple of a Methodist church in Morrisania, near New York, 125 feet high, fell on Sunday last about 3 o'clock in the morning*. The church was new, and had been recently dedicated. The steeple was built of the patent American brick and imitation free stone. The accident was attributed by some to the action of the fro3t causing con traction of the building, and by others to the imperfect material, the brick having crumbled to pieces. Loss, $20,000. J. N. Tyner (Republican) has been elected to Congress from the eighth district of Indiana, vice Pratt (Republican).

The Senate Committee on Foreign Af fairs to-day considered the CuBhing-Darien Canal treaty, and came to a favorable de cision. They will report in favor of ratifi cation. The committee also had up the Peru treaty claims since 1854 and Danish treaty, but all theae will necessarily go over j to the next session. The passage of the copper bill was upon a very dose vote. Two members, Eldridge and Getz, who would have voted against the bill were absent temporarily when the vote was taken. These two votes would have sustained the veto, but it is said Speaker Colfax would then have voted for the bill ; eo that the result would have been finally just the same in effect as that which was to-day the case. A report is in circulation, and believed by many congressmen and others, that ; President Johnson has said that as the Senate will not act on his nominations he, a3 retaliatory, will not sign any more bills passed by Congress. There is not one word of truth in this report. Mr. J ohnson will not only consider and sign such bills as may meet his approval, but will continue to nominate officers in caBes where necessary, and per form all the duties of the Executive that may be presented for his consideration up to the closing hour of his administration. "Whether the Senate deems it proper to post pone action upon nominations or not will not affect the course of the President, who proposes to discharge his duties without reference to what other officials may or may not do. The usual crowd of visitors attended at army headquarters this morning. A few congressmen and officers had interviews with General Grant, but the greater portion of the visitors were strangers calling to pay their respects. It is said that General Grant has com menced the preparation of his inaugural address. This report is probably without foundation in fact. The General is doubt less meditating the preparation of his in augural, but those best qualified to judge are of the opinion that but little time will be required to write his address, as it will be unusually brief, and directly to the point. >Y ALL ACE.
