man of the House Committee, are empowered to de-
cide the necessity of meeting on or after that date,
The Senate got through as much business as pos-

sible, so as to render an extra session unnecessary ;
but it failed to take action on a number of appoint-

ments.

Before the adjournment the following nomina-

tions were confirmed:—Lient.-Gov. C. C. Cox, of
Maryland, to be commissioner of pensions ; Judge
Elisha Foote, of New York, to be Commissioner of

Patents ; Samuel Milligan, of Tennessee, to be Judge
of the Court of Claims ; Henry M. Watts, of Penn-
sylvania, Minister to Austria ; A. Worthington to
be Minister to Uruguay, and Gen. Rosecrans to be
Minister to Mexico ; J. B. Blair, of West Virginia,
to be Minister to Costa Rica ; J. 11. Ashtou, to be
Assistant Attorney-General ; Headley B. Ives, Col-

Lector of internal revenue for the second Connacti-

cut district ; Francis 11. Perkins, of Cainceticut,

to be Consul at Tahiti ; J. A. Clarke, to be Sur-
veyor-General of Utah ; W. J. Cullen to be Super-
intendant of Indian Affairs for Montana and Idaho ;
Silas Axtell and Theodore G. Tidball collectors,
and D. 11. Burnham Asiessor of Internal Revenue

in California ; and for the new territory of Wyom-
ing, A. D. Pa idock, of Nebraska, Governor, and
Oniar F. Roberts, of Indiana, Secretary. The
Senate also rejected the following nominations :
Noah L. Jeffries as Commissioner of Internal Re-
venue; John L. Dawson as Minister to Russia ;
John A. M'Clernand as Minister to Mexico ; E. 0.
Perrin-as Chief Justice of Utah ; Charles Peters as
Naval Officer at New York, and W. P. Gould as
Paymaster in the Army.

Of the nominations not acted on before the ad-
journment, the most important was that of Alex-
ander Cummings as Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, instead of Mr. Rollins, who consequently
for the present holds the office. It is rumoured
that the President will disregard the conditional

clause in the Commissioner's letter of resignation,
and make an ad interim appointment of one of the
following gentlemen :--Cummings, Cooper, General
Burbridge, or Wisewell, but the latest intelligence
contradicts this.
The President has issued an order through the
War Department, dividing the South into military
departments, and re-assigning commanders. Gen.
Rousseau is by it sent to Louisiana. The troops
will henceforth only act at the request of the civil
authorities, but the order does not withdraw them
frdm the States. Some changes by it will be made in
the officials of the Freedmen's Bureau. General
Howard shows that the entire expense of the
Bureau up to the Ist of last January was $8,286,677,
to which the pay of the army officers might bo
added, amounting to a million and a half. The
Bureau had its origin in the brain [of George L.
Stearns in 1862, in conjunction with the Ani-
Slavery party in Boston, although it was not em-
bodied in a law till some years after Commissioner
Welles gave the expense of the Bureau at even
a less sum.
The change in Mormon policy has lately been
distinctly marked. Finding that they cannot ex-
clude others, they feel inclined to make the best of
the circumstances and invite immigration. The
last thing that Brigham did was to get the Rev. ---
Fisher, an Episcopalian, of Nevada, while on his
way through Utah to preach ono Sunday in the
Mormon Tabernacle, with himself and his apostles
on the platform. Our readers may recollect that, in
a late article under the heading " Brigham Young
a Contractor," we foreshadowed this change, but
we scarcely anticipated that the prophet would rush
into print to show that he was the original and real
father of the Pacific Railroad. Those who read the
interesting history of that great undertaking by
George Francis Train, which we to-day publish,
will see that he claims that honour for himself,. and
as we believe that energetic individual either is, er
immediately will be at large, it would not surprise
us if shortly we had to report a controversy between
the claimants on a platform in Utah, face to face.
The persecution of the gentile traders and residents
has ceased, and the Roman Catholics, having
bought a site, are about to erect a church in Salt
Lake City. We have always predicted that 'Mor-
monism would melt like snow before the Union
Pacific Railway—polygamy dying out, and the
false religion subsiding into a more rational sect.
The Chinese Embassy, with Mr. Burlingame at
its head, had left Washington, after giving a grand
reception on the 25th July, when the Treaty had
been confirmed. They will spend a few days with
Secretary Seward at his house at Auburn, New
Yolk, going on to Sarataga and Niagara Fas,
whence they will proceed on a tour through Canada,
and previous to their departure for Europe, file
d
for Sept. 1, they will spend a week in Boston. The
date of leaving America has been postponed, the
original intention having been to start on the 19th
of August ; Mr. Burlingame will take his fan"ll
with him to Europe.
Governor' Brownlow sent his message from 'ILI
home at Knoxville to the Tennessee Legislature
which met at Nashville, July 27. It recomraent4
the organization of a State Militia with the neck'
sary funds to disperse the secret bands of rebee
soldiers. It details the financial condition of di
State, and desires the appointment of a special Oil;
mittee to investigate the conspiracy which, as th,
message-alleges, prevented the payment of the wire
interest. The militia may be placed under oth.eo
than the Governor's control, who declines to adds
the removal of the political disability of rebew;
Browniow followed up this message by publisbii°l
his denial of a report in New York, that he 'la
owned, bought, or sold State Bonds, or reeei„,i,
any commission for signing them. Oa the 2,.."11
July the State Senate unanimously passed a 'Ad,
expressing its inability to meet the interest, and fan a
ing the debt, principal, and interest now due, allcio
to become due in a period of three years, the B°° t,
being for thirty years, bearing 6 per cent. intere'
and the House abolished the financial board.
