Grant visited the Capitol to-day, where he was received with the greatest enthusiasm: The House took a recess of several minutes, and members crowded around him in scores, eager for an introduction. Finally the Gener- ; ai was escorted to the Olerk’s desk and tormal- { ly introduced to the House, while the mem- bers and spectators joined in most enthusiastic demonstrations. He also visited the Senate and received the congratulations of ail present. EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. Mr. Wade to day made a report to the Senate of Gen. Grant's testimony W:!" respect to ex- changes. The report states that Gen. Grant has made an arrangement for the exchange of man for man, according to the original cartel, until a complete exchange is consummated. It is expected to deliver the prisoners at the rate of three thousand per week. Those at Salisbury and Danville are already being trans- ferred to our lines. PAROLED. Japt. E. P. Scott, (a nephew of Lieut. Gen. Scots,) and confined in the Old Capitol tor some time past as 4 prisoner of war. has been released upon his parole of honor not to give aid and comfort to the enemy, and with the conditions that he will immediately report to General Scott in person at New York and sub- ject himself to such restrictions and limitations as the General may deem proper.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC Feb. 8., p.m.—Nothing of interest has trans- Ppired on the lines to-da: jough the weather has been more favorable than for several days past. The troops are building works along the newly established line, which will take some days to complete, when they will commence erecting new quarters for themselves. This will not be a difficult job, as there fs plenty of excellent timber in the mele ubornopas and the men have got so used to the work that regular carpenters at the North would be astonished to witness the rapidity with which whole rows of houses are run up, some of them being models ef architectural beauty.

Cimcurr Court.—Chief Justice Cariter.~Yea- terday, in the case of Kauff agt. Corporation of Washington—appeal trom Justice Clayton — the judgment below was aitirmed. In this case the facts, substantially, were as follows: The piainas, appellant, was the owner of an old frame house, one and & half | stories high, abont twenty feat trout by sixteen deep, which was buiit ucder the building reg- ulationg of 1783, allowing the constraction ct such hol . A brick house was subsequently built adjoining this frame, and forming its eastern gable wall, higher and of greater depth than the frame. The old frame house became greatly dilapi- dated, and some time in the summer of 1861 the owner t eggn to enlarge i: by extending it front some six or eight icet, to the west; also in depth: ard raising it to three stories high; the whole to be of trame, or wood. In doing this the brick foundations were enlarged, or new ones put in to raeet this intended structure: new silis were put in on the north, west, and south; the half story taken off: all the foors removed: bat such of the old joists and studs as could be used were lett in their places, or employed in other paris of the building; the west wall was removed in some eight or ten inches, so as to accommodate the addition on that side; the framing of this structure wes completed, and the workmen were putting on the weatherboarding and sheathing, when they were notified by the Commuissfoner of the Ward to desist, and not doing so this warrant was taken out the mext day. The pian of finishing the building was then changed, and instead of weatherboarding the exterior watis were filled in with bric® between the studdisg and braces, and thus the honse was completed. In addi- tion to this z back building abort twelve by fifteen feet, ong story high, tramed and filled in with brick, was constructed, conxected with the front building. It was in evidence by the appeHant that from the foundatson of the city duildings not more than 2) by 1$feet, and not mors than — feet high, ot frame had been constructet! under building regulations; prior to the passage of this ordinance, appzoved by President Monroe in 1822. Since then persons had been allowed without objection, to edd to such strecenres, by what are called Ursc!> mogged houses, ‘hat is houses framed, and the framing filled in with brick as in this case. The Judge said this i=st'teetimony was the only embarrassment whtetrhe felt in dispezing ofthe case. That the orainance was necessary in order to prevent extended conflagratiozs, jdestruetion of the most ratuable property in the city, yet such indulgenee in the palpatie jevasions of this salutery I.w afforded some ex» ‘cuse for the conduct of the appeifant. | Bat he was required to give & judicial inter- ipretation of the law. and to appiy it to the} facts of this ease.

Lips- cemb leased the house 506 Massashusetts ave- nue, of Hiobs, in 1961, and the latter desiring to terminate the tenancy, gave a haif:year’s notice, aud one question involved wes whether this notice expired comcident with tae current year of tenancy, taere being a dovbt whether the beginning was on the 10th November of each year-or the Ist December. Lipscomb: paid the fir.t month’s rent on the Lith of Liecember, 1861, but subsequently for convenience, paid the renton or about the first of esch: moath, and it was claimed by the counsel that this change of payment worked a change of the commence. ment of the tenancy to the first of the moath. It was edmittea that this was qspre ieee whether eommencing on the i0th ef November or.ist of December.

The Count held that the complaint being mace by the attorney, was evidently no’ in cosformity to the verbiage of the statute, but that the remedy intended by the Iaw would be abortive upoxw, so strict acon- struction, whenever the compjainant was a non-resident. Personal presence could not have been intended of « foreign. tandiord. Prac- tical effect must, if porsible, be given to the law.

Bevans, & detective attached to Provost Marshal O'Beirne’s office, was before Justice Giberson, of the Fourth Ward. The accused is charged with having committed ag Assault and battery on Wm. J. Walker, the pope e agent of the Baltimore and Ohio ilroad, at the Depot, a few evenings since. From the statements made, it appears that Mr. Walker was about to take out a train, and three persons who were Zoing on the train no: been stopped by Bevans as suspicions cha: acters, who Walker told to ge: on. Some words passed, (Mr. Walker, we believe, charging that Bevans was overstepping his duty) and the latter, it is charged, struck Walker with a billy, inflicting a severe cut on the temple. Bevans was taken in charge by the guard, and turned over to officer Howard, ot the Fourth Ward. The Justice, after hearing the case held the accused to bail to answer the charge of assault and battery.
