Sunday Night Report.



WASHINGTON, July so.
The President, accompanied by his family,
left Washington yesterday on trip down the
river, expecting to return tomorrow
1t is understood that the rebel ram Stone
wall is now in the service of our government,
but will not at present be brought to the Un-
tied States for fear Of yellow fever, prevalent
at Havana, where she lies, may thus be intro
duced into our country.
The Secretary of the Treatury has decided
TO make no clerical appointments excepting
in cases of vacanics which must be supplied.
Over 100000 applications on unsuccessful
aspirants for clerkship are on file in the pc
partment, having accumulated duringand since
the rebellion. 1t is estimated that there are
nearly 1900 clerks and 400 copyists employed
in the treasury building.
The State department has received advices
from the e. s. Consul at Palermo, dated July
1st, relative to the Asiatic cholera prevalent
in that vicinity. He represents that owing to
the prevalence of cholera in Alexandria.
Egypt, and some cases having happened at
Malta. the Director General of the Health
Office of the island has ordered the expulsion
of all vessels arriving from the above point
and quarantine Of several days for all ar
rivals from the Leyant. There is panic in
L OlefiIlO anu meLZluO. yet tHefe nave Deen
no cases of cholera except in Messini.
For the week ending July 29th, fifteen Ma.
tional Banks have been chartered.
The Commissioner of Pensions has decided
that rebel deserters who have subset tuently
enlisted in the United States military Service,
don't thereby become entitled to the benefits
of the pension laws. Its expressly provided
by Congressional enactment that no pension
shall be paid to any person who has Been in
arms against the Government, or in any way
given aid or comfort to the rebellion The
executive pardon has no effect to set aside OF
modify this law.
The storm of yesterday afternoon, though
brief, did considerable damage over the city.
A spout leading from the roof of the Execu.
tive Mansion and extending through the ives,
wing of the building. got clogged up bJ refuse
material left there by workmen, who had been
making repairs, and in consequence of which,
some of the chambers were flooded With wa
ter to the depth Of several feet, and the cell
ing of one of them fell. Much alatm was
occasoned to the inmates, and the utr lost ac-
tiyity was required to prevent the cout room
and other apartments from being similarly
invaded.

Why do.the secesh and Copperheads hold

Why do,the secesh and Copperheads hold
on to slavery SO tenaciously in Kentucky.
Slavery is abolished everywhere in the United
States except in Delaware and Kentucky
They are surrounded by free States on all
sides, and there is no longer any fugitive slave
law to convert the citizens of the free States
into bloodhounds for shareholders. Then the
reason back of all this is simply that the Ken
lucky shareholders hope that the Northern
Copperheads and secesh shareholders will get
control of the government and re-estabhsh
slavery. And for the same reason it is that
Northern Copperhead Legislatures like that
of New Jersey refuse to pass the Emancipa-
ton Amendment.

Now, what we have to say is, that if that is
the best stock they have in the late rebel
States to carry on civil government, that kind
of government may as well be dispensed with
at once We cannot have military govern
