FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL, SOLOMON CLAYPOOL, of Putnam. i ~ THE NEWS. The Empress Eugenie bathes in milk. The fluid is then sold to the cases. The Minnesota House of Representatives has passed a bill making eight hours a day’s work for females and children under eighteen years or age. A new husband in New York presented his bride with a washboard, a mop,-a gridiron, and a pair of flat irons as a part of her wedding trousseau. She at once applied for a divorce. The Macon Telegraph says: “Jacob Thompson, one of the distinguished American exiles abroad recently received a remittance of 880,000 in gold, the proceeds of a sale of his land lying along the Mississppi river. Before the war he was the richest man in Mississippi—his wealth being over one million dollars.” Beaver, Butler and Indiana counties, Pennsylvania, have instructed for Pendleton for President. The Pittsburg Post thinks Western Pennsylvania will present an unbroken front for him. ' Petitions are in circulation praying Congress to reduce the expenses of the Government to a strictly peace basis, and make a corresponding reduction in taxes. It is asked that the navy be reduc ed from one hundred and three to thirty or less; that “the great naval pageant now on exhibition in Europe,” be ordered home and laid up; and that the army be reduced to a force of twenty thousand men.

Congress has under consideration a bill proposing to affix a stamp to each cigar sold. It is meeting with violent opposition Irom the cigar makers. In January 26,000 persons asked and obtained relief from the Association for* improving the condition of the poor. Government has collected a revenue from the use of distilled spirits, for five years, of 8135,356,355, the anual average bring . 27,071,171. A dispatch from Galveston, Texas, says the constitution submitted to the people has carried, the conservatives voting against or remaining away from the polls. No general returns have been received. Binghampton, Ogdensburg, and various other towns in the State of New 1 ork, report large Democratic gains at their late municipal elections. The President has sent the name of General Sherman to the Senate for confirmation as a Brevet General. iSTIt is understood that in the eventof General Grant being nominated by the radicals, that Tom Browne, of Winchester, will be the radical candidate for Congress, in this District- They both stand on the same platform, and of course will run well together. Besides, from what we can gather, in the estimation of the radicals of this District, our present Representative has outlived his usefullness, by his obsequiousness to the bondholders, and then Tom is wanted to keep company with Yates and Chandler.

Civil vs Military Rule. The new Constitution of Alabama, as we announced last week is undoubtedly defeated. Greely says the uncrushed spirit of Rebellion is the cause, and asks that Congress admit Alabama under a constitution which her people have rejected. What is the use of an election if it is foreordained that the will of Congress alone is to be consulted in every step to be taken? The people have petitioned for the continuance of military rule rather than live under negro domination, and a majority have so expressed themselves by remaining away from the polls.— Military Despotism is something the American people have been educated to look upon as the worst evil that could befall a free people, and the reign of military despotism in the South is fully up to the standard it has been painted; yet we find a people petitioning for its continuance, rather than be ruled over by an inferior and semi-barbarous race. It means that the radicals have dug a pit to precipitate the ten. Southern States in, so far beneath military despotism that it would be a great relief—the only boon—the only conditions they have asked to have it continued. Radicals imagine yourself in their condition ;go farther still; grant that these people have no right that this great Government is bound to respect, and even then we have everything to loose and nothing to gain by giving the negroes the control of the South.

Reporter of the Supreme ””7"“”" Court. - — The following circular is being extensively circulated in the State. It speaks for itself. Money is the main reliance of the radicals to carry the elections ; principles they have none, and what money the bondholders fail to contribute individuals propose to advance.— The radical party are in the market for votes; are the people for sale ? Let them answer at the ballot box next fall. Read the circular. In compliance with the request of many of his friends, the undersigned will be a candidate before the Republican Convention, meeting on the 24th inst., for nomination for the office of Reporter of the Supreme Court. He believes that the members as the Bar of Indiana, will concede that he is qualified to perform the duties of the office, if elected; and if nominated he pledges himself to make a thorough and vigorous canvass of the State It must be apparent to all who desire the success of the Republican Party of Indiana that the coming campaign is to be a hotly contested one. and every man placed on the State Ticket should not only be qualified for the office for which he is a candidate, but also able and willing to “take the stump” and answer the arguments of the Democratic Speakers. Another thing: owing to the treachery of Andrew Johnson, our opponents are in possession of nearly all the Federal Offices in the State, and money will not be wanting on their side. Our candidates should not only have the money to spend, but be willing to ®pend it freely for the purpose of promoting the success of the party. The undersigned believe he possesses the requisites mentioned. Truly yours, EDWIN A. DAVIS, Author of Davis' Digest, e.c. Impeachment.—Old Thad. Stevens resurrected the impeachment question last week, believing he had a case against the President in connection with the Grant embrorio io. The measure was defeated in Committee. Thad's resolution being tabled, at which he was greatlj’ incensed. He declared the Republican party had been then and there killed, at the instance of Grant and his friends, and that Andrew Johnson had Grant to thank that he remained in undisturbed possession of the White House; thathedidnot pretend to any gift of prophecy, but was seldom mistaken in his piedictions, and that vote in Committee would cost the radical party New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and probably three or four more of the Northern States.

[Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Tbe Johnson-Grant Correspondence. Poor Grant— Tbe Scene in tbe House. Washington, Feb, 11, 1868. How the mighty has fallen I The scene in the House of Representatives to-day was solemn, impressive and mortifying. The anxiously expected letter from the President of the Ujiited States to General Ulysses Grant, was received soon after the • morning hour had commenced, and was immediately opened and read. Every member was in his seat, and the immense galleries were packed.— The silence was complete, and all leaned eagerly forward to catch every word. General Butler had approached the Clerk's desk and stood immediately in front during the whole reading and up to the close of the President’s letter. A pin could almost have been heard to drop in the hall. Occasionally Mr. Washbum, of Illinois, would look around as if endeavoring to read upon the countenances of members the impression being made by the dispassionate and close reasoning of the President. The scene was as impressive as mortifying; the Chief Magistrate of the leading nation of the earth convicting the General of the armies of duplicity and falsehood. The irresistible force of the President’s logic went home to every heart, however much some of the leaders of the radical faction attempted to conceal it. When the letter of Secretary Wells was concluded, Mr. Washbarn again looked about him, and by commencing succeeded in starting a laugh. At the conclusion of Mr. McCulloch’s letter he again attempted the same thing, but was evidently laboring under intense excitement. By the time Secretary Browning’s was read through Mr. Washburn had settled down in his seat, and could only stare around without the ability even to smile. The reading of Postmaster General Randall’s and Secretary Seward’s testimony quieted Mr. Washburn, whose features had become distortered with anxiety and alarm for his hero, and every radical mouth was hushed. It was some moments before a breath seemed to be drawn, and no one perhaps exhibited more plainly the effect of the mortifying exposure than Speaker Colfax himself, whose physiognomy during the reading seemed painted with some of the brightest tints of crimson.

To-night everybody ia discussing the President’s letter, and the radicals are using every device to break its force. They say the people would never believe Johnson as against Grant, if a hundred cabinet officers should testify in his behalf. On the other hand the conservatives, many of whom have been General Grant’s best friends, express the deepest regret at his mortifying position, and feel that the’ national honor has been tarnished. General Grant's rejoinder to-day does not reach the points in issue. An ex-member of Congress from Illinois, who is now here, and who has been a friend and companion of Grant’s from boyhood, had a long interview with the General a few evenings since, and learned from him that he blames his pretended political friends for his embarrassment. He said that he had endeavored to keep out of their meshes, but that they had entrapped him before he knew it, and involved him in his present difficulties. “If,” said the General* “I can only manage to get out of this scrape, I promise they don’t catch me again.” During the pathetic recital of the manner in which he had been overreached by politicians, the General exhibited a deep feeling, and left the impression in the mind of his friend that he would wash his hands with radicalism. As General Sherman’s name has been brought into the controversy between the President and General Grant, it may not be amiss to state that the President is in receipt of a letter from General Sherman, which is understood to have this paragraph in it: “If Stanton won’t resign, and there is no other way of getting rid of him, ulterior measures should be resorted to.\ This letter, together with one of a very important character, may reach the pubße-eye if the unfortunate controversy is pressed any further.j_ The radical leaders in the impeachment programme express their regrets thetthe President us ed the word “unless” in his written order to Grant to disobey Stanton. They charge that Mr. Johnson used the word with a view of dodging the responsibility which would have attached to an unconditional order to disobey, and that had the order been unconditional they would have reported articles of impeachment at once. They still believe, however that thej' can make out a case of impeachment with the assistance of tue Ashley-Conover testimony

taken before the Judiciary Committee. The Bill for the Admission of Colorado. The Senate Committee on Territories on the 12th inst. made a favorable report on Senate bill to admit Colorado into the Union, concluding as follows: As it has been the practice of the Government to admit new States without requiring any specified amount of population, and as the present population of Colorado appears to be equal, or more than many States heretofore admitted is; as it appears to be the almost unanimous wish of the people to be admitted under the present bill, and as Congress has expressly voted her admission Ijy an enabling act it seems but just to the people of the Government should be made good by her admission as a State, which your committee unanimously recommend. The committee can show and improved condition of the Territory, including an increase of population since the former bill was vetoed by the President. The third section of the bill declares that this act shall take effect with the fundamental and perpetual condition that within the State of Colorado there shall be no abridgement or denial of the exercise of the elective franchise, or of any right, to any person, by reason of race or color, excepting Indians not taxed; and neither this condition nor the rights now in force in the Territory of Colorado shall be abrogated or set aside, any thing in the laws of said Said State to the contrary notwithstanding. The right to require and enforce a compliance with an obedience to the same is expressly reserved to the Congress of the United States. The time for holding the election for members of the Legislature and for State officers to be not later than sixty days from the passage of the bill, and the time for meeting of the Legislature not more than thirty days after the election.

Ship, Building in Maine. Maine is begining to find out what hurts her. She has been told a hundred times, but the Down-East mind appears to be slow, and has for several years helped elect radicals as steaeily as if it were cheap. At least she' has been prodded into counting up her ships. A committee of her Legislature report to the assembled wisdom of Bangor (or is it Augusta?) that in 1859 she had 729,840 tons of shipping, in 1866 only 274,458 tons, a loss of 465,732 tons. Estimating at 830 a ton, the sum lost amounts to 814,000,000. The down east committee has discovered also that before the war and the tariff came, the average cost of ship building per registered ton, rigged and ready for sea, was not more than 884: but after the war and tariff came was not less than 875 per ton. Now the cost is 868 currency per ton. Deduct the duties upon materials entering into the construction of a ship, which they estimate a 87 per ton in gold, and the cost would be 834 in gold, which is as cheap as a spruce and hack ship can be bought for in the provinces. Maine has done the sum at last and found out what hurts her.— She appeals to Congress for relief. One of these days the down east mind will make another discovery, viz: That the short cut to prosperity is by pitching overboard the radical revolutionists of the rump; electing a Democratic Presdent and Congress, and restoring the Union.—jVew York World. A radical, through the columns of the Chicago Tribune, asks of the editors an answer to the following questions: “First—Are we not to some extent already repudiating our debt? A greenback, which I hold in my hand, says, ‘The United States will pay one dollar at the treasury in New York. Suppose I presentthe note, will I get my dollar ? and, if payment is refused, is not the Government, to that extent repudiating? “Second—Suppose the Government redeems the bonds in greenbacks, and then indefinitely postpones the payment of the latter, will that be repudiation in any larger sense, except as to the amount?” The Tribune has not answered the questions.
