THE BOSTON POST.
KNOWN to the whole country as the unwavering
advocate of DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES, meo
and measures, for nearly fortyyears the constant sup-
porter of State Rights in the Union, and now the ad-
vocate of the speedy restoration of all the States to
their Constitutional relations as members of the Fed-
eral Government, asks the attention of Southern citi-
jens to its proposals to furnish them copies on the
following

and domestic, to be obtained.
It deaires to renew the intercourse with its Southern

The Picayune is inclined to doubt the
truth of the report uf Gen. Oram's recent
belligerent talk in regard to Maximilian,
as recently stated by telegraph. It truly
says that it is not in Qen. Grant's style,
and that he has not heretofore made speech-
es at all. This is all very true. General
Grant does not make speeches, but he does
talk, when he chooses, and oaneay a good
many significant things in that way. We
suspeot that the Monroe dootrine and the
Mexioan Empire will be very largely mixed
up in the party politics of this country
hereafter, especially in the next Preuideu*
tial oanvass.
Tho Louisiana Legislature has elected
a State Printer. Meeting under the Con-
stitution of 1864, the Pioayune is sur-
orised at their action, as that Constitu-
tion provides that the present incumbent
shall hold office until January, 1866.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.
Washington, Nov. 80.—It is strongly
intimated that the Clerk of the Houee
means to put the names of the Tennessee
members elect on the rolls the first, day of
the session. It is asserted that Tennessee
is in the same category as the other South-
ern States, and if this intention is carried
out there are Ohio members who will
move to strike the names from the rolls.
Their opponents say the Tennessee is ful-
ly restored, and entitled to immediate
representation.
Nearly all the Tennessee Congressmen
elect are here.
There will be seven contested seats in
the eoming Congress.
Among the members arrived from th e
Southern 8iates is Jacob Barker, of New
Orleans.
All the Yirginia Congressmen eleoi are
preparing to leave for Washington.
The oath question is to be tested by Mr.
Stuart, who will make application for a
seat without taking the test oath.
The Chief Justice has telegraphed that
he would not attend the present term ot
the United States District Court at Nor-
folk.
A prolonged session is anticipated.
Nearly every one who has had land con-
fiscated proposes to make efforts for its
recovery through that channel.
It is thought efforts will be made during
tho present session for the indictment of
Mr. Davis for treason.
The Virginia Legislature meets on Mon-
day. It is thought the Constitutional
Amendment will be passed, and that the
war debt will be repudiated.
The President has annulled the suspen-
sion of the writ of habeas corpus, except as
to the States of Virginia, Kentucky, Ten-
nessee, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, the Dis-
trict of Columbia, snd the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona.
Gov. Humphreys has vetoed the bill pro-
posed by the Legislature of Mississippi,
staying suits and the execution of judg-
ments in that State, and it has failed to be
passed over his veto. The reason is, that
the delsys provided for were so long, that
it operated as a denial ot justice, and was
therefore unconstitutional. The vote stood
in the House 45 to 27.

Ooaernl Grant.
Galvkbton, Dee. 2, 1866.
Editors Bulletin :—I see it stated in
this morning's telegrapblo dispatches, that
Lieut. General Grant purposes to visit New
Orleans. I would suggest that he be in«
vited to extend his tour to this city, that
he may, by personal observation, beeome
acquainted with our wishes and the neces-
sities of our people.
Very respectfully, R. 8. T.
General Grant is now making a toar
through the South. As Commander-in-
Chief of the army, it is necesssry that he
should be familiar, not only with the mili-
tary necessities of the situation, but also
with the habits and sentiments of the peo-
ple of every section.
When possessed of this information, the
Lieut. General will be able to accomplish
his designs without running in contact
with the prejudices or interests of any
olass of people.
He has been told that the people of the
South do not oandidly accept the situation,
and that they do not mean substantial
justice to the negro. This is the time to
show the honorable determination of South-
ern men,and to soprepossess his mind that
he will be disposed to grant all our reason-
able demands.
We therefore hope that he will extend
bis trip not only to New Orleans, where
he purposes to consult the Major General
commanding this Military Division, bat
also come to Texas, as is suggested by a
correspondent, whose note we most cor-
dially endorse. — Bulletin.
The Post says the admission of the Ten-
delegation at the organisation of
the House will be a test ease. Emerson
E'heridg ealleges that but a few Congress
men elect from that State have roeeivsd a
majority ef legal votes.
The War Raided.
Nbw York, Nov. 22.—The Poet's Wash-
ington oorrespondent says Congress will
act upon the theory that the war Is not
ended. It is precisely the ground ooeupied
by the President and every one of the Do
pertinents of the Government. Volunteers
not yet discharged have repeatedly demand-
ed their discharge in compliance with their
terms of enlistment, and the invariable
reply is, the war is not yet olosed. The
Treasury Department also holds, in infer-
ence to the payment of bounties, that the
war still existe. The President, whils he
protects the freedmen with the bayonet,
does it under the theory that the war has
not come to an end ; that is, time enough
has not yet elapsed to satisfy the President
and Congress that the people of the South
are steadfastly loyal.
Fanra New Yorh.
Nbw York, Nov. 28.—A gale weioh oc-
curred in the city at midnight yesterday,
blew down the Methodist Church, corner
of Union Avenue and Noble street.
The investigation of frauds in the
Brooklyn Navy yard, is progressing. They
extend over several years, and amount to
several hundred dollars.
The citizens of New York are arranging'
to pay off a mortgage of $30,000 on Gen.
Grant's house in Washington.
Labor and Cotton in the Month.
Boston, Nov. 28.—The Bard of Trade
has adopted resolutions looking to in-
creased iotton raising in the South, which
the Gcwnment is requested to aid forth-
with, by sustaining and organising suoh
portions of the laboring classes now in the
Southern 8tates as oau be reached by pri-
vate oapital.
Aooounts from London mention the mar-
riage of Miss Ror iter, sister-in-law to the
Hon. B. Judd, sx-Minister of the United
States to Berlin, to a young Livonia noble
man, the Baron Otto Grnnewald, Chamber'
lain to the Emperor of Russia.
