The RichmOnd Examiner-Order
Against Wearing Rebel Gray In
RichmOnd-NO BAD Feeling Be

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Tribune's spe-
cial says: Mr.. Henry Rives Pollard, of the
Richmond Examiner, having invoked In
vain the interference of the President, In
order to secure the resembling of General
STerry's recent order suppressing his paper
for the expression Of disloyal sentiments,
yesterday visited General Grant, before
whom lie laid his grievances, and of whom
he. asked permission to resume the pubica-
tion of his paper. General Grant, after lis
tening patiently to POllard's representa-
tions, quietly informed him that he would
receive any written communication ad-
dressed to him from Richmond, but that he
could not at present give his decision in the
matter. The suppression of the Examiner
was done in pursuance of positive orders
from General Grant, who announces his in
tention of suppressing all newspapers in
The South which have the audacity to come
out similar bold denunciation of the Gov
ernment. ..H ar .ra..
IA gentleman just returned from Rich
! mOnd, reports that the military order pro-
hibiting the wearing of the gray adorned
with rebel buttons in that city, is being
carried out. One of the weapons carried
by the patrol is formidable pair of shears
which are brought into requisitiOn when
ever any reconstructed rebel in gilt buttons
makes his appearance on the street.
The reported personal estrangement of
Mr.. DelanO and Judge Spalding members
of Congress from Ohio, on account OF the
speech recently made by the former gen
tleman, is strongly denied by Mr.. Delano.
Foreign Ministers Indignant at
MIR. BnncrOfG's Address-ExPIa-
natiOn.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Herald's
| special says: The diplomatic corps are in
! dignant over Mr.. Bancroft's grafton, espe-
| cially the Austrian and British Ministers.
The latter retracted his acceptance of
| dinner invitation at the House of Con-
| gresham as soon as he heard the dinner was
| given in honor of Mr.. Bancroft.
The story that Mr.. Romero. the Mexican
Minister, was refused admission to the
Bancroft eulogy and went away indignant,
is explained. Mr.. Romero presented him
self at the main entrance to the hall short
| ly before the exercises commenced, when
| he discovered that he had neglected to bring
his invitation, and the doorkeeper, in
obeying positive directions from the COM
mttee, could not admit him without the
ticket. Mr.. Romero appealed to Senator
| Foot, chairman of the committee, who
just then approached the door with the
4 President on his arm. Senator Foot
could not attend to it then, and passed on.
! Mr.. Romero departed and the Senator who
sought him after the Pr sident was seated,
could not find him. The chairman of the
committee deeply regrets the seeming dis
courtesy to the representative of republi-
can Mexico.

and appointed to act as such, to relieve of
ticers of subsistence departments in the

Gen. Robt. +. Lee was to-day before the
Reconstruction committee for two and q
half hours and left the Capitol for the Me-
tropolitan hotel about 230 o'clock. Some
few persons being aware that he was before
the committee, fingered around the door of
the committee room to get glimpse of him,
and followed him to the Sergeant-at- Arms
room. He left the Capitol on foot and
walked down the avenue, a curious crowd
gathering behind as he walked, which in
creased to quite an assemblage by the time
he reached his quarters.
The President and Secretary of the In
terror have received copies of resolutions,
supplied by the Massachusetts State Board
| of Agriculture, wherein the Executive Is
asked TO appoint competent man to SUI
pervise the Department of Agriculture at
Washington. Similar recommendations are
now on file from ten of the leading agricul-
tural States of the North.
Advices received at the Postofflcc De-
4 partment within few days, indicate that
the mail service of Texas is not yet suf1i-
cient for the necessities of that State. Up
on the coast the Department is depending
for the carriage of postal matter upon Gov
ernment transports, which are running
very irregularly, and disarranging and un-
settling all the mails for that region OF
country. Negotiations have been pending
with prominent capitalists and steamboat
companies liz New York, for supplying the
deficiency in this respect, but thus tar the
Department has deemed the proposals too
high for the amount of service offered.
