SINCE GENERAL GRANT has been atthe White House he has been averse to receiving calls on business of any kind. He spends most of the day out of doors, generally going out for a walk shortly after breakfast. A number of importunate callers waitaround the front door with the hope of but- fon-holing him as he goes out, but a word of time ly warning takes him cut throwsh the conserva- ory or rear cntrance.

Senate To-day, Mr. Sherman asked and obtained leave to with- draw the petition of George Orilly, relating to ar- Tearages of pension, because it contained reflectioris upon the official conduct of members of the Sen- ate. He said he presented the petition on the day before, but did not know of its disrespectful char- acter, as he did not read It. Several Senators remarked that the petitioner was evidently deranged. Mr. Vest, from the committee on territories, re- ported favorably Mr. Maxey’s bill to authorize’ the President, in conjunction with the state of Texas, to run and mark the boundary line between a part of the territory of the United States and the state of Texas, and to complete the survey authorized by the act of 1858.
