NEW YORK, April 1.-The Tribune
Washington special says:
The House Military Committee have
instructed General Schenck to report to
the House, to-day, the bill for the re-
organization of the army. 1t does not
change the number of the army from
what Mr.. Wilson's Senate bill provided,
for it authorizes the Veteran Reserve to
be consolidated and continued in ten
regiments, and all officers hereafter ap-
pointed to hat division are to be wounded
volunteers. 1t omits the two regiments
of colored cavalry and reduces the colored
infantry regiments from ten to eight. 1t
favors officers of the line and in the field,
and does not, as the present laws do, favor
officers on detail at Washington and else
where, with increased pay and perquisites.
The pay of Brigadier Generals on duty in
| Washington is now So, 345.50 cash and
forage worth S4S3 per year in money If
that same General goes into the field he
gets 81, 4s5.25 less.
A bill is now before the Military Com
mittee asking increased pay for Genel ais
Meigs, Dyer and Townsend of $l,2l4 per
year each, making the pay $7,463.77. The
bill will be reported upon adversely.
The Herald's Washington special says
1t is now admitted that resolutions guar
anteeing the Mexican loan will pass the
House. The opponents of the measure
concede that much. 1t is understood that
a number of the members will vote for it
for the purpose of giving Napoleon to
understand that this country is in earnest
id regard to its endorsement of the Re-
public of Mexico. Their votes will, in
some instances, be given for that measure
in the hope that with its passage in the
House Napoleon will take the hint and
withdraw from that country. 1t is under
stood that after its passage in the lower
House, it will be held in the Senate to see
whether the French Emperor will take
the hint without further action. Both
Congress and the President are very de-
termined in their condemnation of the
Imperial scheme. While there is no dis
position to bring on any serious compli-
cation with Napoleon, there is a deter
minstion to do something that will show
him that this country will not submit to
any double dealing or doubtful course on
his part. For this reason the vote will
very decided in the House. The action of
the Senate will be upon Napoleon's action
after the House has given him a decided
hint by the passage OF the measure in that
body.
no Interference,
: WASHINGTON, April 2.-To-day's Re
publican says the Government here has in
terfered with the proposed celebration by
the colored people of Richmond on the
anniversary of hat city on the Sd inst.
We have the best authority for saying that
neither the President mol General Grant
has interferedi in the matter in many manner
The subject is entirely within the control
of General Terry, who is a man of safe
judgment, and, being on the ground,
knows best what to do in the premises.
He is authorized to act prudently in the
event of any unnecessary or illegal dis
turbance of tho peace on either side.
The Loan Bill.

sender to. day reported from the Commit
Tee on Finance the House Loan Bill with
