J .* ', "j] The military character, wm? andi spirifV of General Grant's adminifpation, tjjjgio t? exoite oritioiBW, evett) arj^qg^tfie Jmdicaf chiefs. Gene, ls Schenok and Butler, who take far more pride in their civic and politi? cal, than in theft military Vch?evements, are both reported as discharging their satirical bolts at the assumptions of the President. The recollections of the Vienna and Wil? mington il lust rut ion s of tho military attain? ments of these two civilian generala are not calculated togiVe them a very exalted idea of the art of war, or of its legitimate ex? pounders and disciples: What Gen. Grant' thought of th o strategy of Schenck's great movement of running a railroad train into the camp of the enemy, and dumping his brigade in front of their earth-works; or of Butler's ech?me for blowing np t^e fort at Wilmington, by exploding a powder ehip io tho bay within half a mile of the enomy, Butler and Sohenck probably think of the capacity and modo of administration thus far displayed by General Grant. In other words', in their viow. Grant is a greater fail? ure, as President, than they were as gene? rals. "WliaV in hell," profanely exclaims Sohenck, "does he mean by sending a mes? sage to Congress by one of his staff ?" And Butler i? reported an desiring "irrformation as to the Article of the Constitution, or the Act of GohgreBS, xvhich creates.a military staff for the President." Whilst we do not altogether sympathize with these complain? ants, seeing that they were such ardent sup? porters of General Grant for the Presi? dency, with a full knowledge of his strong military tastes and inclinations, and of his declared hostility te politicians and their modes of administration, we cannot, as the New Orleans Times says, but concur in tho general repugnance, and protest against tho sudden and entire change in the character of the Government, which the new Presi? dent appears to be intent on effecting. The prediction of General Blair, during the lost canvass, that General Grant would gradually convert our constitutional and republioan form of Government into a military auto? cracy, appears to be already in a fair way of being fulfilled. Tho new President inst?is himself in the White House with a brilliant staff, composed altogether of Brigadier Generals-his ministers abroad aro all generals-and Washington City, wo hear, is SQ resplendent with gilded shoulder-straps and glittering insignia of war, that an ancient foreigner, happening to bo sojourn? ing therein, writes that it reminds him of thc scene which Erfurt exhibited in 1812, when Napoleon had assembled thero the military chiefs and princes of Franco and Germany, on the evo of tho great expedition to Rus? sia. Messages are sent to Congress by mili tary officials. Memorials to the Presiden! are endorsed, as Sheridan endorsed all ap? peals from his decisions on tho qualificatior of perso us claiming to be registered su voters in this city, "respectfully referrec to" some subordinate official, and the reporl thereon is adopted, and orders are issued ir the usual military form, "by order of th< President," and signed by "Horace Porter Brigadier-General of the United Statei Army, and Secretary of the President." We are not surprised that these symptomi of a rupid tendency to military organizatioi and usurpation should awaken a liveb anxiety in thonghtfnl minds. What wouh have boen thought of such pretensions a any other period of our history, from tb inauguration of the Government down t< that of the present Administration. Eve] when the Father of his Country, who rulei in tho hearts of ali the pooplo, and com manded the implicit fath and idolatrous de votion of bis countrymen, was called on ii a supposed great crisis of the Republic t assumo military command and the powei of a dictator, with what patriotic earnesl neBS Was it opposed by the patriot foundei of the Government, and with what loft dignity did that great man repel and r< prove the proposition? "Though," h exclaimed, "usurpation may in one instant be the instrument of good, it is tho cu tomary weapon by which free governmen are destroyed. The precedent must alwaj greatly over-balanco in permanent evil ac partial or transient benefit which the ni can at any time yield." So strong was th jealousy of military power, that after Gei Washington's retirement from office, mo than a quarter century of the administr tion of the Government elapsed before tl minds of the people could be reconciled the selection of men of military fame ai distinction to high offices in tho Gover mont. When the first departure from th policy was made by tho election of Go Jackson, a largo and highly intelligent ch of tho people vigorously opposed him, ai those who supported his election could on by referring to his expo- j rionce and training as a civilian-to tte mere temporary and incidental character bf mlKtarJr, sefySo* jC&ra^ his oiirome vi?wa of deference to tho voice of Rhb people, ancPhis iteatdus h?slsty to all I forms ol usurpation. ' Jackson justified thia j cTyhfld?nWby eiclndfteg from hlfi adminis ! tration all the forms, the spirit and charac? teristics of military ^authority. Ho sur? rounded himself with the ablest civilians and statesmen in tho land, and his admi? nistration was marked only by political, contests and controversies. When Qen. Taylor, a soldier through his whole life, who had passed fifty years in tho camp and in the field, was proposed for President, under the influence of thowarliko fervor ex? cited by the Mexican war, the protest and opposition were still more earnest and vigorous to this disregard of the injunctions of the founders of the Republic, and sur? render to the vnlgar admiration for mere military virtues and cervices. The frionds of the General were compelled to usc means of appeasing this popular distrust and dis? taste for military leaders, which have not been thought at all necessary in the case of Gen. Grant. He resigned his position in the army while a candidate,'and when in? ducted into office, refused to appoint to po? litical and civil office from the army, and would not even consent to the employment of his own son-in-law as Private Secretary, until he resigned his position in the army and became "plain Mr. Bliss." These were examples which ought to hnve been followed by Qen. Grant, and that he conld not have commenced his administration nnder aus? pices better calculated to oxoito anxiety and alarm in tho minds of thoughtful citizens, than by the strong indications of a tendency to military forms, policy and spirit, and tho selection of military officials to aid him in tho administration of thc highest civil office in the Government.

There was an old gentleman who would not permit any gentleman to visit his daughters without grossly insulting bim. An order from the K. K.'s has made him the most agreeable and hospitable of men. Two men had been living with two women with? out formal marriage; an order from the K. K.'s caused one of tho partios to marry and one of the women to leave for parts un? known."

WASHINGTON, March 81.-In the House, during the morning hour, a large number of bills vero introdnced. The Mississippi bill was resumed. The Senate was debating the House resolution to adjourn on tho 6th. Tho debato shows that the Georgia and na? turalization mattera are in a fair way for early adjustment. The Gonference Com? mittee on the tenure of omeo Act have come to an agreement; ita character is unknown. In tho House, Whittemora introduced a ' joint resolution, postponing the Texas elec? tion, which was referred to the Reconstruc? tion Committee. The Committee on Ways and Means was instructed to inquire as to the expediency of revising and enforciLf tho diroot tax of tho lately rebellions States. The conference report on the tenure of office Aot was adopted, and goes to tho . President. Tho Committee on Elections reported a resolution seating Sheldon, from the Second Louisiana District. Burr pre? sented a minority report. Butler presented a bill removing political disabilities from loyal people. Answering questions, Butler said: "Yes; it applies to everybody, to every loyal man." Referred to the Recon? struction Committee. The bill requires a petition to the United States Court, that the appellant hos admitted that he believes the Confederate General and State Govern? ments rebellious and treasonable, and truly repents tho acts done in the maintenance thereof. Tho Senate wau discussing tho adjourn? ment; Sumner suid it was wrong to discuss it until tho Georgia question, in all its branches, was settled. Howe retorted, Con? gress had had plenty of time; in addition to Congressional action and time, good sense was required. Anthony had come to the conclusion to let Georgia tako caro of her? self; and he didn't think it necessary to do anything for Virginia, or Texas, or Missis? sippi, t li is session ; these States don't seem willing to como in, and don't think we can help it. Sumner supposed, then, that An? thony proposed abandoning these States. Anthony replied, only so far as I propose abandoning Massachusetts, Rhode Island and other States. Warner was unwilling to go home until tho States exoluded do some? thing for loyal Southerners. Tho conferenoe report on tho tenure of office, was adoptod. A privato despatch from Macon, an? nounces that Hon. A. H. Stephens is on his death bed. Tho tenure of office bill, as passed, uses the word suspension in tho sense of remo? val, and requires the President to nomi? nate for a vacancy within thirty days after the meeting of Congress.
