PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN CORRESPONDENCE.
BY direction of the Secretary Of War, an
order has been issued prohibiting letters from
being sent or received through our lines except
bv prisoners on either side. The practice has
been heretofore to allow all letters to pass or
he received through the lines. 1t has been dis
covered that this privilege has been much
abused.
TIE BANKRUPT LAW.
Mr.. Conkline, from the Committee on the
Bankrupt Law, VIII VepOrt bill to the House
10 The course of two or three days. 1be mehs-
ure il Of great importance, and will be care
fully considered before any final action will be
had.
KEw-VORK SOLICITOR OF CUSTOMS.
The Committee on Commerce OF the House
have authorized the Chairman to report the
Bin for the appointment of Solicitor Of Gus
toms for New-York in accordance with the
recommendations of the Secretary OF the
Treasury. Tie opposition to this measure
from New-York has been strong Several par
ties have been heard before the Committee.
Among them the United States District-At-
torney Of New.York, whose Office will be IN
iuriously affected by lis adoption. But the OBJ
iections raised are not deemed Of sufficient i'm
portaDce by the Committee. To change their
views in regard to the bill, the Secretary Of
the Treasury, as well as The Collector Of New
York. thinkt the measure an important one,
and that it should become law as speedily as
possible.
THE CANADIAN RECIPROCITY TREATY.
The House Committee on Commerce have
authorized General Ward to make his report
upon the Canadian Reciprocity Treaty, which
be Will do tomorrow or at an early day. The
report is very elaborate, and will embrace the
following important points:
The extent population, position and resources Of
the British North American provinces and torscs-
s0ns; tie present treaty; lie operation aud elect
upon the commerce Of tie tLited Safes the exist
ing condition of our commercial aud hsca relations
with Canada and the Inc Of policy most conducive
10 the interest and welfare Of both cOunficsi the
tendency Of modern invention ana civilization on
tie intercourse Of nations, including the ieaoing
PRINCIPLES Of the German Commercial Union or I0ll
vereln, and their applicability 10 the United htatc-
and the c0ierminOus % adjacent Buiisn provinces
and possesfous tie mutual relations of Canada and
iITeht bfltaln ana Nbc COiOhlcri - m
the United Statcs, aud method of negoliaiion Tor
/ the removal Of existing difficulties.
The report, strange To say, IS against an hb-
rogatioa Of the treaty, iayors negotiation for
removal Of restriction upon the trade Of the
United States. and suggests more close COM
mercial union upon the plan Of our States, or
upon basis Ike the German Commercial
Union. The reciprocity ,windle was fastened
upon Us by the slaye-driying Democrats Of the
south. 1t is TO be hoped that new arrange
rnent Will not give the British the gTatuitous
use Of orr markets, or the New-York canals,
and Of railroad route through Maine, New
Hampshire. and Vermont
TIE EXPULSION or BRIGHT.
A telegram, signed by Representatives Ne
Kean, Tenton, Wheeler, Clark, spaudng,
Frank, Van Yalkenburgb, Pomeroy, and Baker
Of New.York, was sent TO Albany to-day,
urging the Legislature to pass resolutions in
structIna Senators Harris aud King to vote
for the expulsion Of the traitor Bright.
More Of the New-York delegation would have
signed the paper had they been in season.
THE CONDUCT Or THE WAR.
Gen. Banks, and Col. Deyeus Of the 18th
Massachusetts, were to-day examined touching
the affair al Balls Bluff, by tie Joint Com
Djltee on the Conduct Of the War. The Com
mttee also entered upon an inquiry into the
calopaign Of Gen. Lockwood in AccOmac aud
northampton Counties, Virginia, concerning
which Col. Paine, 4ih Wisconsin, Major Bacon,
9th Michigan, and Col. Warner, 9TH New
Yorl. testified. II is understood that the
Committee are determined to get at tho true
history of that campaign, which ia yet to be
written.
/ Serious charges have been made against
Gen. Lockwood, such a. that nc was guilty Of
severe and even barbarous treatment Of iugi'
tive slaves, and Of acts Of uurepublican Glenn
eney toward their rebel masters, who had been
IN arms against the Goverument-such az sur
rendering to them cavalry horses, and other
property, which had been used for insurrec-
tionary purposes.
GIN. RIPLEY NOT SUPERSEDED.
y lie announcement in some New-GOrk
journals That Gen. Ripley, the experienced
Chef OF the Ordnance Bureau Of the War De-
partment has been superseded by Mojor Dyer
ia Incorrect. We have the highest authority
for saying that the Secretary of War has not
even thought Of making this change. II is not.
however, improbable that in tbs aud other
bureau radical reforms viii be instituted 70 Tie
success of which the displacement of bieb
officials, assistants to chiefs, may be reqoisi,e.
