With that in his possession he was arrested and im prisoned at Baltimore, he being under an indietni -nt for treason, lie addressed a letter to General Grant from prison,in ‘•losiog a parol. Upon receipt, of it Gen. Grant at once wrote to the President, a most positive and emphatic letter de manding ihe di-charge and release of Gan. Johnson. The letter,while respect tul, was rribsr determined. It took the ground, afterward fully established, that th militarv parols were not to b - violated by civj : rit -'s. Preside!.

The nther portions of our now united country can never fail to remember him as the strong arm of its power in the great strug gle. Gen. Grant left the army at the ca 1 of his country. His two Administrations were in times of excitement and dis distraetion incident t< the vast disrup tions of the war. lie should have been restored to tlie army years ago. He cer tainly should be now. In my judgment, military men who perform great and no table service should be suitably reward ed and honored. I sincerely trust the House will promptly pass the bill, and that it will become a law. It seems to me but justice, and, l may add, tardy justice. I am, sir, most respectfully, .Tames Speed. I>. S. —1 should add that President Johnson, while questioning the legality of parol as a civil pardon, had no hesitation in "ranting tlie Executive pardon. ” • • The hue and cry raised about the ab sence of Senator Garland from Washing ton for a day seems to have been quite unwarranted, lie was not at Albany or in that vicinity. There was a gentle old lady with brown hair, streaked with gray, out on Connecticut Avenue, who could have told tliegossipers where the Senator was if they had thought to go to her. Whether she would have told them i- quite another question, for she is very careful of the affairs of her son. It is known only to a few, comparatively, that Senator Garland's mother lives here, keeping house for her big boy, and being consult 'd by him about all his no- j litical and peis-mal affairs. The S mu nr 1 is a widower, lie has three or tourchU- ! dren, two with him lure Hi. rnofcli r.

Uhitfi Stlte#Sefrate gives emphasis - -ufl- the railroad cor porations will s.h#ii bei’i ttie control of . iie G nitc-I .‘states ficnaie. Spooner for ■ many years was the solicitor of the {'Chicago, St. L’auu Minneapolis and Omaha raiiroal.a part-of The \ tnderbilt system, \n laR-r than last winter he , a{ pe ireu hi tius eU\ to oppose tiie for- Telture of h laud grant which had been j reported by the House Committee on public lands. Jie resigned his railroad j fiollcltO/ship soon thereafter, and an al liaiwiCAvas made between himself and HCnntor Sawyer to capture the Scnator ; ship tQ which he has been elected. The i alliance with Siw/er ir may ho said se j cured him the prize. Sawyer is the boss :ot Wisconsin. When he says “thumbs up,” atp they go, so far as his Badger State is concerned. Spooner, however, will prove an ac quisition to tlie Senate, and in contrast to his prosaic ptedecessor he will com pare as pure gold to dross, lie is. quite a young man, and has the reputation of Iteing the best realty' lawyer in any State. In stature be is rather small, which makes all the more prominent his mass ive head. But Spooner aside. He comes in oniy as an incident to show how the railroad corporations are getting a grip on the Senate, 't hose who are at the head oi great railroad interests now pay no at tention to the House, knowing how well they are fortified in the other branch. It is for this that no strenuous opposi tion was made in the House to the pas sage of the in ter-State Commerce bill. The game is to have it substituted, in ihe Senate with a bill providing for a com mission, which can be packed in the in terest of the railroad corporations. Last winter, whether with or without reason, the House passed a number of hills restoring to the public domain enough forfeited land grants to aggregate many million acres. But one of the hills, however, his run the gauntlet ot tlie Senate. It is hard to take up- an alphabetical list of Set a tors and make a random hit with a pencil and miss a railroad Sena tor. Edmunds, the President pro tem pore, is th-* owner of • railroad stock, and >i:ui pleaded n ilroad causes in the United States Supreme (.’> art. Bowen, ot Colo rado, has in feres: s in the Central Pacine. Lchuid S infool, California’s new Iv elect ed Senator, is President of the Central Pacific.

Manderson has connected with the Chica go, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Pendleton uliqyst wrecked the Kentucky Central as its President, and figured in an un savory Congressional investigation touch ing a claim the ran road was paid, .some how or other mixed up with the Bowler estate. Plumb has divers interest in Kansas and elsewhere in the railroad line. Sabin and Sawyer are heavy stock holders in roads traveling Wisconsin and Minnesota.. The latter grew rapidly rich through his railroad investments. Sewell is the President of the West Jersey rail road, connecting Cape Mary and Atlantic City with the Pennsylvania system. Wilson, of Town, has been director of tlie Union Pacific road. This ad captandiim list does no include all the Senators who have rail load interests, but if serves to show the purpose that all legislation affecting the railroads of the United States will get thoughtful consideration, to say the least, in the Senate of the United States. THE WRONG MAN. How the Georgia Revenue Officers Perse cute tlie Mountaineers. A special to the Courier-Journal from Atlanta, says: Asa sample of the op pressions to which the mountain people of Georgia are subjected by the revenue ollleers has just been brought to light in the United States Supreme Court before Judge Boar man. A distressed looking citizen, li. M. Stanley, was put on, charged with violating the internal rev enue laws. Stanley hailed from Lump kin county, and said he was too poor to hire a lawyer; therefore he went to trial without counsel. Deputy Marshal Cope land testified, but said nothing to lead any one to suppose Stanley was a law breaker. Then another witness testified, and he also knew nothing against the prisoner. A third witness went on the stand with a like result, and then Judge Boarman, v.axing wroth, said with era h.is-s: ‘*A great wrong* has been done i ! : * an. I think it is criminal. “Then, tiirni gto the prisoner, he asked : “How j.long have vmi h i.l in j-dl ?” Font weeks.” ■ I'hi' is all wrong,” continued the Ja.'j-i. “These olli.-eia have, a wrong ideii of the law. It. is criminal to treat a man this way. I can’t say who • is responsible, but I do saj - it is ali wrong.” Then looking at the prisoner l again, the Judge said: “You are dis- I cii.ngi'd, =ir. 1 atri sorry 1 can say no* more. lam sorry you have ro redress, i You can go.”* The prisoner picked up his hat and amble ; of the room. To : a reporter lo -tated that he wak a mis* sior ary Bapthst p eaeher. Later in the : day it was and *veio ed th c the Commis sioner had bound the wrong man over. Commenting upon tFie testimony ol Mr.C. P. Huntington, the Herald says: “Mr. C. P. Huntington i- gifieu with 0 had memory. It is, niorctwci, a very : convenient memory, as it can recall 01 forget at its owner’s w*H.

But the senator did not think so. As the votes came in lie deposited them in li is safe and locked the door of his room in addition to fixing bis unknown combi mu ion. When several votes had, been received, Edmunds sent for th J captain of the eapitol police and askeß him ii lie knew any fl “i>yi:d in dmmo<tiat” B on liis force. he captain named Mr S. Florence, of Greenville, a* man who Jib'd the de.-eription. ago through the influeiHTi of Buchanan. Senator Edmunds said wanted Fiorenee detailed i.or special and s'lut to him tor inspjJ'tions- M ‘,-‘.B he tV.c '.'ice-Presideiit VOid Him thar he had been chosen as a special guard for the electoral votes and that he must ate!) in the marble room every night.’ Accordingly, for ix weeks. Mr.-Florence 1, s been doing this duty. Every after noon at five o’clock he takes his stand in the marble, room, and there remains until seven o’clock the next morning. lie watches tli-; lorn- of the Vice-President’s room, which is locked. Within is the safe, and behind its combination lock are the electoral votes. It is dull business ro sit all night long in the ghastly marble room in an apparently useless watch, but Florence has done it faithfully, and with a joyful pride that lie is contributing to the security of the votes which will put into the presidency the first democrat tor twenty-four years. The law fixes the time for the assem bling of the joint session and the count of the electoral vote. Mr. Edmunds will not go in to open his safe until a few mo ments before lie is to march at the head of the senate over to the house. The safe will probably not have been opened for weeks. The senator’s active mind will have had a thousand things to dis tract its attention from the one little word whose letters are the open sesame to that strong box. Suppose he should forget it! OUR PEESIDENT. What a Person Undergoes in Visiting 51r. Cleveland. Albany (N. 5’.) Correspondence.] It isn’t the politicians and professional cabinet-makers that President elect Cleveland just now. They are bad enough in their way and are persistent enough, but there is another class whose patient waiting for a chance to see the Governor throtvs the politician way back in the shade. They area pretty class, too. as a rule—they ate brides. And it is becat se of the universal be lief in Governor Cleveland’s luck. It used to be that Niagara, with the Horse shoe Falls, was the great resort for new ly-married couples. But that was before the election. Now, Albany has taken the place of Niagara, and the executive chamber brings the luck that the Horse shoe Falls once di I. It is hard to turn a ■lark corner in the eapitol suddenly with out coming upon one of those loving couples. ' Aid they all come here to -hake hands with the Governor and have him wish them hick. Tell them that Mr. Cleveland is busy, that he cannot be -sen fur several hours or days, or a week, and tliev sit down and wait for him as patiently and contentedly as if their only pleasure in life was to wait. And they always succeed in seeing him at Inst. You start oat to call upon the Gover nor, and it seems a simple matter. You oil mb the hid to the capitol, climb one flight or -olid -tone stairs that make you •> _-! inr ortaut by echoing loudly at every ootstsp, and find yourself n front of a door whose ground gia-s sign bears the words, “Entrance to Executive Cham ber.” Another legend just below says “Pull,” and you begin to cm gratniate vourself on the easy way to the Governor. You “puli,” ami you find yourself-in a long room lined on eltlier side with men awkwardly holding their.hats and brides secretly holding .brand-new husbands’ hands. Everybody looks awkward and expectant. You join the little group at the other er. lof the room about a red headed boy who is jealously guarding a doo” and explaining that the Governor cannot be seen for an hone. He. is busv. “But,” per-.sts the lank, sunburned fel low from the country, “l ain’t never seen Mm yet, and I’ve druv eighteen miles to shake bands.” The little bride tilt* her chin in the air, and says with an air of grave importance. “VV o are-on oar wedding trip, and we’ve got to see him.’ Still, the red-headed youth persists that everybody will have to wait, and the iii tie knot adds itself to the two rows along the wall. Finally, there is a bus tle at the inner door, the brides let go of Atlanta, Ga. In August, 1862, I chanced to meet Richmond a gentleman who told me of a j successful trip he had made across the lines to Baltimore. My husband had some money there width we needed very much. Ir was a temptation not to be re si SEPfI. My husband was in the Confed erate army and my two children were at school in South Carolina, so there was no one to raise objections, and inv own in clinations to urge me speedily decided the question. I secured from the gentleman his route in minute detail. At Hanover Junction I had so much trouble to get conveyance to Bowling Green that l was at the point of going back, ignoininiously, when 1 siw a car riage drive up to the point where l was waiting. A few questions and answers put me iu possession of the fact that Dr. B , who lived near Bowling Green, was expected on Lite train, and this was his carriage sent to meet him. When lte arrived I sent for him and begged per mission to go with him. He politely consented. I very soon learned that the Doctor had paid a visit to our army when it was encamped at Centreville. When L said that my husband belonged to the Seventeenth Virginia he asked iris name, as he had not understood me when I introduced myself. I said, “ Capt. M—lie exclaimed, shaking my hand very cordially, “My dear madam, I know him well. I formed the warmest attachment for him during my stay at Centreville. He gave me part of his tent and showed me many kindnesses, which I am only too glad to repay in part, at least, by any assistance which I can ren der you.” I was as much pleased as he could possibly be at our meeting so op portunely, and somewhat elated by my good fortune I took my seat in tiie Doc tor’s carriage. When we reached his house, after a long drive, I was received by liis family with extreme kindness. Alter a night of rest and comfort, the good Doctor carried me over to Bowling Green. got me a carriage and departed with his blessing. Tint thoughtful kind ness of Mrs. B- had supplied me with an ample lunch "basket, well stored with delicacies and substantiate. The next point. Port Royal, on the Rappahannock, was reached in perfect comfort and safety. _ i met at the hotel four ladies returning to Richmond from Baltimore. Listening to their glowing accounts of unlimited rounds of shopping, where there were no blockade prices, vis ions of my own probable successes in that pleasant work flitted through my And. determining me to push on as rap flv as possible. The first thing to do \v s to find a boatman willing to row me over the river, which was both difficult and hazardous, owing to the fact that the Federal gunboats were almost constantly passing and were liable to come around a bend at any rime. [ was about concluding a bargain with a party when a regiment of Federal cav alry and ished into the town, and as sud denly every one disappeared among them my boatman. The other ladies were very much frightened and lie wailed bit terly at the prospect of being captured and having 'heir precious baggage con fiscated. They implored every one to remain quiet and not do anything to at tract attention. I fully sympathized with them and for a while we kept very -till. But. my curiosity overcoming cau tion, I went out to look at the situation from the veranda. The Federal* had taken possession of an eminence in front of us, tn 4 thus com manded the town. On a beautifully shaded grassy slope in full view they were making tbemseive* at home after the style of cavaliers under such circum stances.

On his assurance that his wife would be glad to have me, ! accepted his invita tion. Bidding Mrs. Stewart and her lovely daughter good-bye, with many thanks tor their care and kindness, I parted from them forever. The next night 1 crossed safely to the northern shore of the Potomac. We rowed into one of the many creeks to the (touse of a Southern gentleman, through whose kindness I was able to reach Port Tobacco, ten miles distant, the next day. There L took the stage for Washington City. The only passenger besides myself was a gentleman from the south,also run ning the blockade, from whom I received some valuable suggestions. Hanging on now, I reached Baltimore the next morn ing, worn out with fatigue and excite ment. My friends, who were strongly South ern in sympathy, received me with delight, and after a fortnight of rest, having succeeded entirely in carrying out my plans to my satisfaction, I took the train for somerset, on the eastern shore of Maryland, where I waited some days for an opportunity to cros-c I finally took passage in a small boat that plied between Somerset,on the Maryland side, to Northumberland,on the Virginia side. Before we were out of Tangier’s sound a terrible storm arose. Fearing that the boat would be swamped, our Captain ran her up in the marshes. The next morning the tide had left us iu the mud. The Captain and the only other passen ger besides myself, a gentleman, secreted themselves in the woods near by ; but the mud was so deep I could not get out, and, concealed as well as I could in the boat,l passed the long day with nothing but a few crackers to eat. When at last we found ourselves afloat again, we dis covered that we were the objects ot much curiosity to several fishing smacks who were returning from a day’s work. So we cruised around waiting for darkness before attempting to run across, pretend ing to be a pleasure party out for a row on the sound. It was a sad mockery on a pleasure party: afraid of being raptured, waiting for the “blessed cover ot night to make the perilous run. We were off at last, the bay was \eiy ! rough but we rapidly neared the Virginia I shoie. A gun-boat was lying at the : mouth of the little creek where it was ‘ our intention to land. ( had two large j trunks filled with my own purchases, be-ides innumerable parcels, letters,etc., gent by friends to absent ones in the South. Naturally full of the most intense anxiety, i tried to cheer myself with the reflection that there was no political complication mixed up with my errand, which had (teen from hist to last : of a private and personal nature. | I summoned what fortitude arid philos ! ooby I could to my aid, snd sat in the j gtWn of the boat, bated breath and rigid | form, a silent prayer it) my heart, while our little boat, with muffled oars, moved silently under the very bows: of the gun boat. One shuddering glance i gave to the grim outlines as we sped noiselessly bv and closed my eyes to shut out the gloomy-looking thing that seemed to threaten by its ominous shadow. Within 20 minutes —it seemed as many hours — we ran into the mouth of the little creek After asending it about three miles the keel grated on the sand,and I knew l was on Virginia soil once more.
