Ready.

The demand for the Second Series o
the 7-30 Notes was go great that III.
Treasury Department was unable to prin
them with sufficient rspidity to fill the
| orders. II will be remembered that .
hundred millions we're subscribed and
paid for in single week. The printing
presses have finally surmounted the diff
Guilty. and on Wednesday, June 7th, the
deliveries of the Third Series commenced
and will be continued with the same
promptness that marked the supply of the
notes Of the first and second series. 1t
has been this interruption of delivery as
the time of subscription which has given
an appearance of falling off in the popu.
lar taking Of the loan-ths great body of
small takers being unwilling to pay their
money unless they receive their notes
right in hand, to carry them home. 1t is
expected that after this week the daily
to the Seven -Thirties will
run up into millions, rs they will un-
doubtedly be stimulated by the opening
Of the farmers wool markets East and
West. 1t is no. at all likely that the
will ever again offer so de-
sirable q security as these notes, and about
two hundred millions only remain to be
taken.
With the close of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced, and in
sestors must look for sharp reduction in
The rate of interest as soon ss the present
oans become due, and can be paid Off
There is no reason why the Uuited States
,redit for money should >ever again fall
below it's credit for courage. The same
'pirit that preserved the geographical in
;egrity of she country will place its peca-
atary integrity on par with that of the
most favored notions-and that will rep
-esent . rate of interest under rather than
,ver four per cent.

Gen. Grant arrived in Chicago last
Saturday, and if ever deserving man met
With q handsome reception, it must have
been in this case. The people. pit would
seem. all turned cut to receive the Gen.
eral. As soon as the procession could do
so. for the crowd, they arrived At the fair
grounds. Gen. Hooker formally intro
duced Gen. Grant TO the citizens of Chi
cago. Ia response the General simply
said:
Gentlemen and ladies never made .
speech myself, and therefore / will ask
Governor Yates, of Illinois, 70 convey to
you tne thanks which [ should fail to ex-
press. Inmense and long continued
cheers and laughter greeted this unex-
pectedly short speech Of the Lieutenant
General
Gov. Yates then handsomely complied
in a very eloquent speech.
The people then tried to get = speech
from Gen. Sherman, who replied - fol-
lows:
Ladies and Gentlemen am here to-
day as mere listener, and cannot be
drawn into any speech whatever. Always
ready, always willing, always proud to
back my old and beloved commander In
chief. / viii do anything which he aska
me to do. / know he will notask me v
make speech. Cbeers and laughter.
ttGen. Grant, being thus appealed 70. re-
sponded BY saying: 81 ssysr ask sol

A loud laughter greeted this sally amid
which the Two Generals Withdrew.

Of Military 0ovcrnors-
Diseharging Prisoners Of War.

The Times Washington special says
strong feeling is finding expression here
among many leading men in favor of the
policy Of appointing military governors
for some of the extreme southern states.
such IS South Carolina, Georgis, Florida,
Alabsma and Mississippi, and of keeping
these States under strict military control
until the people are once more thoroughly
returned to their avocations and the labor
status of freedmen properly adjusted with
their late masters.
The. efforts of the delegations from these
quarters are not meeting with mach eu.
couragement There are several promiu.
ent generals with fine executive abilities
and cool heads, who can now be spared to
settle the disturbed affairs of these several
States.
The Hsrald's special has the folloins !:
Notwithstanding the order of the Pres.
Ident discharging all prisoners of war be-
low the rank of Major, large numbers of
applications are daily made to him for
snch discharges.
All parties should understand that these
applications are unnecessary and useless.
Very large numbers of applications are
made to the President for the discharge
Of soldiers whose term OF service does no.
expire until after Sept. 30.h. Such ap-
plications should be made TO the Secreta-
rv of War as such as are received by the
President are referred to him for such 40.
ton as he shall deem proper in the prem
ises.
The President has finally determined
TO appoint Judge Parsons Provisional
Governor of Alabama. Instructions to
provisional governors win be determined
on at the cabinet meeting tomorrow.
Gen. Sherman has revised apd correct.
ed his report of operations in North and
South Carolina, and it will be published b.
the War Department in its amended
form.
All of Sheridan's cavalry remaiuing in
this vicinity will be under the command
Of Maj Gen. Crook.
1t is understood that Gen. Slough has
been appointed Adjusant General Of Col
orndo in place of Mr. Evars. Mr.. Slough
received bis first miiitsfy commission
from Col. Gilpiu, lst Governor of the ter
ritory. ~

Union Hall never looked as we'll be-
fore IS it did on Saturday on the arrival
Of Gen. Grant. 1t was fine view from
the gallery commanding all the mart and

building was crowded to excess and the
vast mass Of human beings heaved and
surged like 'the billows of . mighty sea-
as the procession accompanying Grant
tried and tried in vain to steer through it,
and gain the gallery. Those who have
not seen the Fair from this point of OBJ
servation, have missed the best scenic
effect Of it. The painted window at the
northern end, the variously oolored trap.
pings in which the different departments
are arrayed, the fmultitudinous etalls"-
the banners and devices of the States of
the Union suspended midway down the
roof, the muffied roar of the mingled
voices of the vast assembly below-affect-
ing graudly both the eye and the imagi-
