In Washington the same deplorable condi- | order nas veca issued diroctiag that ai ladies withia the tion exists. The cases are parallel; the causes | Moes shalt leave as carly as practicable, aud that uo wore differ. General Grant is now in Washington, Donen malin queens be gm NO and the people, from Old Abe down to the Gearon, seiiiy anmniey, came wenhaoved latest batch of contrabands, are crary about | trom incenag torment Mt (uel sauinmonts wie him. For the first time in his life the President | Aa entortainmont was givoo last night by Captain is 30 seriously impressed that he canaot tell a | Cox ana Clintoa, of Genora!

The people at the War Department | Pllc to aurronder. Several of them afterwards es- never had any to lose, while we all know that une there never was method in the madness of Chase. Secretary Welles would be orazy had he awakened from his long nap; but he atill sleeps. He gave instructions when he last turaod in that be was not to be disturbed until the Alabama was caught, and we all know that has not as yet been accomplished. 7 In the midat of this almost universal madness General Grant is calm, He bas already taken the Army of the Potomac in hand, and has de- termined that it shall do something—that it shall have a chance to accomplish such brave deeda as it can, if properly commanded, end, above all, if it is not made a plaything for the powers at Washington. It is said that he will not submit to any more tampering with that great army. We hope that in this instance ra- mor is right. General Grant accepted the lieutenant generalship fjust as he is in the habit of taking the enemy’s cities—without aay fuss. He knows that it is intended as a wet blanket for him, but is aware that the natural heat of bis constitution will soon regulate any undue humidity which may exist in this other- wise honorific wrapper. In New York the people are mad because they have Faust, and the Devil is init. They go to see Mephistopheles with’ an ardor quite fnsane. M. Maretzek might coia—excuse us, the word bas become obsolete—gather untold heaps of greenbacks were he to give the people Fanst as often as they desire it; but Max, like General Grant, is sane ‘amid all the surrounding delirium, and. with noble abnegation, and not because his artists cannot stand it, gives us Faust at rare inter- vals. On those occasions the people rush into the Academy of Music as though they had but one night to live, and were determined to yield it up to Faust ‘and Maretzek. Asa curo for this operatio hallucination, Maretzek offers at times such antidotes as Don Giovanni (Mozart's chef d'omvre). Macbeth, &. All ia vain; the maddened crowds refuse the antidote and rv turn eagerly to the intoxicating, deliriou poisonous—we might say devilish—draught, Faust. Maretzek, frightened at the bavoc he is making, has determined to give New York a breathing spell, aad so he goes to Boston, where in two weeks he expecta to have ren- dered the lightheaded deaizens of the Hub even more lightheaded than they are at present. The short spelt may cure New York; but wo rauch fear that upon his return Maretzek will find the people as Faust mad as evec therein courted public reprobation whea they consented to participate in it. They need aot, therefore, be surprised to find that the world is not willing to accept the shallow but intole- rant ideas of New Engiand Puritanism for pet- fect Christianity, or to sustain the oant which covers irreligion, and makes ili-timed sport of that which is most revered by the religious of all creeds. We find that the Observer, which is regarded aa a atrictly religious organ, coa- dems this mock marriage ia the strongest terms. It says:— This mockery of a suisma service hag besa the subject of free conversation among ministers and others duriug the past week, and we have yet to hear of the first per gon, among the or the laity, among men or womeo, who does not it with disapprobation and disgust. The loast objection to it ts the bad taste of the affair, the whole thing boing offensive to all ‘Sense of tho 0a. ture of the marriage institution. It is moreover an ag gravation of the Loy had ‘that the parties pretending marriago wore alroady husband and wife who lout ther services to make the joke compiote. This wholesale and just condemnation of the profane farce enacted by Mr. Cuyler, coming from such @ source, ought to satisfy him that buffoonery in connection with holy things will not be tolerated, although it does emanate from New England smartness. from tho Commitioa oa Caaats and Roda, re Ported @ Dill (or tho construction of @ abip canal Cor army and navy vessels from the Misaiasippt civer to tho Westorn lakes.

In the State Sonate yesterday another large batch of petitions for aud reuonstrances against a Broadway rail- road and the overcrowding of street cars and stages were Pragouted.

Bills were introduced providing for the voluntary consolida- tioa of ratiroad corpocations, relative to the tenure of offica of the State militia, dividing the Seventh Judicial istrict of Now York olty, and requirig corporations to produce their books when required by the courts of this State. The resolution in favor of paying the interost fatiing daa on State stocks in paper monoy tnstead of coin was called up and debated at length. ‘The amend- meant to pay foreign bondholders in colin was lost, and the original reaotution was thon adopted by a vote of eightosn to oight.

Mr, Pattison witi play on thia occasion the famous Henselt concerto tn F minor, a work which taxes tho best resources of a pianist, requiring the utmost delicacy of execution, The work wheo interpreted by an artist of ability is grand.even poetical, Besides this, tho great feature of tho concert, Mr. Pattison will play his succosa- ful fantasia on Martha, ‘The Great Crisis of the War—General Is to be General Grant {s in Wasbiagton. We is called there by the political managers of the war, to be used, if possible, for their pur- poses, and then to be put aside with other of “the brokea tools that tyrants cast away.” Hie is on trial now as he has never before been. His ability as a general has been abundantly proven; he stands before the world a hero and @ conqueror, of acknowleged achievements, and he is about to be tried in the final fire. He enters now into that dangerous arena of the politicians from which so few soldiers have come out with their laurels still green, but success in which put the final stamp of great- ness to the names of Cesar, Cromwell and Bo- naparte. History is a storehouse of examples; and our own history of the past few years is particularly rich in examples of what ought to be avoided by a great man, as well as of what a really great man might have done Had General Scott upon the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln adhered to his own distinct and definite ideas as to what action should be taken, and informed Mr. Lincoln clearly that if auch action were not taken he would resign, thon he would have employed against the politi- cians and for the benefit of the people that great power that he held over the popular mind and heart, and that had been earned by good conduct and success in the wars of two gea- erations. He would have initiated in that event an early, earnest and vigorous prosecution of the war that would have gigen tangible results at once, and he would have added to his glories the gratitnde of a third generation, and have gone to his retirement a true Nestor and the grandest man of modern history. Or had he, before the first battle of Bull run, when the “on to Richmond” clamor arose, held on more firmly to his knowledge of what was right—bad he then said to the administration. “with me or without me,” “ia my way or without my consent’ —bis hold on the country was then still strong enovgh to have enabled him to control the govarnment. Our first movement would have been made as he knew that it sbonld be made, and tha rebellion would have been crushed in first batile. But be permitted The Cralse of the United Statcs Steamtug Lizate.

He may do all the good that they did and none of the barm. He will be forbidden by the railicals, 04 Casar was, to pass a certain line, beuind which they consider this metropolis, under the suggestive name of the New Nation, broadly and in every possible way foreshadows a war to the death by General Fremont and his radicals against Abrabam incola. “The Fremont platform is ona, too, upon which the great radical German element and all the out-and-out red republicans and black republicans of the country may heartily combine. [ts leading features are:— First--Absolute, complete and immediate liberty, without distination of race or color. Second--The absolute maintenance of the Mooroe doctrine. Third--Another and better military organi- ration than that of Presideat Lincola Fourth —A diminution of the powers of the Executive and a larger responsibility of Cabi net ministers to Congress Fifth—A nation iu the place of a confedera- tion. Now, unless the fortunes of war shall yet bring General Grant in tho foreground and leave “Old Abe” in tho background, the best thing that the brokea up democracy can do is to fuse with the Fremont party. Why not? Why stick upon democratic principiec aud pre- judices when they have had their day and be- come obsolete ideas? Why not take a new de- parture, and sirike ahead of the administration on this modern idea of universal liberty by adoptiog the Fromont platform and Fremont as their oandidate?
