says: The friends of the acting collector
of the port of New York are urging
upon the department the justice and
propriety of paying that official the mo-
MES which would accrue to him were
he full collector. During the intereg-
mum the fees go to the legal representa-
tives of the late collector, while Mr..
Clinch performs all the duties of col
lector on the salary of, deputy. The
stir in these matters may tend to hasten
the appointment of a collector for New
York.
The Times special says: Major Geo.
K. Leet, Assistant Adjutant General of
who was for long time in the Office as
assistant of the lamented Col. Bowers,
has succeeded to the official position of
the latter, with the rank of Major in
the regular army, which was also the
lineal rank ofCol. Bowers. Maj. Leet
entered the war as a private in the Chi
cago Board of Trade Battery, and was
selected as staff officer by Gen. Grant
because OF distinguished qualities of
bravery and efficiency displayed in the
field.
The Times Washington special says:
The House Printing committee have
had under consideration the memorial
of j. G. C. Kennedy, Superintendent of
the Census Bureau, claiming that the
action of the Secretary of the Interior
and Commissioner of the General Land
Office, in transferring the preparation
and printing of the third volume of the
censns report for 1860 from Mr.. Kenne-
dy's office to that of the Land Commits
sioner, was illegal. The committee
have agreed upon report denying the
prayer of the memorialist, and conf
mending the action of the Secretary of
the Interior. This report will be pre-
scented to the House tomorrow by Mr.,
Latin, chairman of the committee, and
its abolition will settle n long and disa-
81 eeable controversy.
The Worlds special says:
The Senate committee on Foreign AT
fairs have now nnder consideration the
proposition of the House making APP
proprintionS to defray the expenses for
the Paris Exhibition. 1t is aScertained
that it will nearly absorb all of the APP
preparation of the government to pay
for the transportation of the articles,
to the exhibition. The committee will
probably amend it SO that the inventors
and others will be compelled to pay for
the transportation OF the various arti-
cles. BY this committee only will the
money be appropriated sufficient to
erect the buildings and to pay the other
necessary expenses.
The Herald's Paris letter gives an nc
count of IL secret convention between

sition of French agents in Mexico, the
number of whom is large, for five years
from the above date.

The Senate finance committee have
reached no conclusion in regard to the
loan bill. Senator Sherman is in favor
of amending it so as to limit the amount
of greenbacks, and gold required to be
kept in the treasury. 1t will not be
acted upon definitely before next week.
The rumor atlOat yesterday to the
effect that Stephens, the Irish Fenian
Head Centre, had arrived in New York
and was at the O'NIahOney headquar-
tiers, was without any foundation, and
Strict rules are now in force to prevent
the possibility of introducing topics in
Fenian speeches having nothing to do
with the objects of the Fenian Brother
hood. A large meeting of the support
ers of the Sweeney Fenian movement
was held last evening at Tammany
Hall. Towards tho close of the even
ing the hall became densely crowded,
it was supposed by many of the adj
herents of O'Mahoney.
