WASHINGTON, March 80.
The new Secretary of State Mr..
Stanton, will leave next Monday, and
will be the acting Governor until the
of Mr.. Walker, whose private
business will detain him here until
early in May.
The outlines of the Instructions to
Walker have been agreed upon. The
business with which he is charged is,
as has heretofore been surmised, to see
that the people have free, independent
and uninterrupted expression of opin-
ion concerning the affairs of the ter
in carrying out the provisions
of the census and Registry laws, and
that forthe election Of delegates to the
constitutional convention.
The troops that have been employ,
ed in the Territory are to be removed,
and others, not engaged in the former
difficulties, are to be ordered thither;
but it is not apprehended that there
will be use for them or the militia.
