WASHINGTON, October 10.
Another Important Rumor-The Presi-
dent Said to Have Recommended to the,
Southern States the Ratification o1-tke
Constitutional Amendment.
A rumor is current that the President has
written to the Southern Govsr86rs ureino them
TO convene the Legislatur0S of their respective
States, and to recOmpend the ratification of
the constitutional Amendment. Whether the
rumor oe tE2e0r false, 81 is the opinion of emf
nens meRhere on both sides, apprecating the
loglc6f events, that this course is the only sure
k@ay to secure safe and lasting peace.
The Impeachment of the President.
Speculation is rife upon the subject of the
threatened impeachment of the President. The
topic has been discussed even to the extent of
talking about his successor. Here lies a diff
Guilty. The friends OF the President, however,
do not feel alarmed on the subject.

ment, ASSIGNING General Emory to the command

Revision an 1 COdi ficatiOM of the Statutes.
The commission, consisting of the Mr.. Caleb
Cushing and Judges James and johnson, ap-
pointed to revise and codIfy the statutes of the
United States, have now fairly entered upon
their labors. The commission organized on
the lat OF September, and will sit for the ne xt
three years, by which time their work will
probably be completed. The statutes of the
United States already fill thirteen volumes and
a half, which have gradually accumulated since
1889. This is the first attempt that has been
made to consolidate and revise the laws of the
United States, though many of the other States
have done so with their own State laws more
| than once.
Discovery of Gold ON the Potomac.
Gold has recently been discovered on both the
Maryland and Virginia sides of the Potomac,
just above Georgetown. Several companies
have already been formed, or are now organi-
Eng, to develop the territory. The indications
extend for about six miles on either side Of the
| river.
| Forgery on a National Bank.
forced check for $1,000 was recently pre-
| sented and paid, at the National Bark of the
| Metropolis, by a man named McCloskey, re-
ported as a member of the staff of a general
| officer. Mr.. Hutchinson, the cashier of the
bank, has gone on to New York on business
connected with the forgery.
