was issued this morning: .
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON, June 18, 1866.
The President directs the undersigned to
perform the painful duty of announcing
to the people of the United States that
Lewis Cass, distinguished not more for
faithful service in varied public trusts
than by exalted patriotism at re-
| cent period OF political trial, de-
parted this life at four o'clock yesterday
morning. The several Executive Depart
ments OF Government will cause appropri-
ate honors to be rendered to the memory of
the deceased, at home and abroad, wherever
the national name and authority are ac-
knOwledged.

... dOned.
Official information received here shows
that while the Feniau movement may be
dead for the present it still retains some
elements that may materially aid in another
spasmodic effort whenever a suitable op-
portunity occurs. Quantities of arms and
ammunition are still moving to various
places of deposit, and especially in Penn
sylvania. The organization is very strong
throughout the country, but especially at
the South, where there is large prOpor-
tion who will hail fighting opportunity
with great pleasure. ts
The Senate will Confirm no More
Appointments.
New YORK, June 1S.--The morning pa
pers have the following special dispatches
from Washington:
Alter the adjournment of the Senatorial
executive session on Friday, it was agreed,
in an Informal way by the Senators, to make
no more combinations during the present
| session of Congress, except in case of ap-
pointments to fill vacancies. This reported
determination of the Senate is important
to the country and to the scores of persons
| awaiting executive action.
Reports from National Banks.

of the committee on Banking and Currency
| will show that the most of the National

$94O00,000; currency in Sub-rreaSuries and

to credit OF disbursing officers, $4l,00O,-
| 900. Balance subject to United States
| Ireasurers draft, SlS9,000,000. The returns
