Washington, May 2Sth.-In the
Senate, Wilson of Massachusetts, Hen.
derson of Missouri, Van Wrinkle OF
West Virginia, johnson OF Maryland
and Buckalew of Pennsylvania wore
appointed a special committee to in.
'yestigate the condition of the Nation>
al Banks.
The Senatorial 'caucus renewed its
sessions this morning and also in the
evening. There was full attendance
but no vote was taken or any definite
conclusion reached, the varions Sena.
tors having previously expressed their
views ON the reconstruction pro-
gramme. Fessenden of Maine How.
ard of Michigan and Grimes of Iowa
were appointed committee TO draft
the report on the same. Neither Doo-
little Of Wisconsin, Dixon of Connect
tout nor Cowan of Pennsylvania were
invited to attend the caucus.
1t seems to be the we'll settled opin-
ion in official quarters, that Davis
trial will DO postponed till next Oc-
tober. There seems to be good eu-
thority for denying tho statement
which has been published, that a
new indictment against Davis has
been drawn up in the Attorney Gem
eral;s Office since Speeds return to
Washington and that Judge Under
woods indictment would be quashed.
1t is not improbable, however, that
some changes will be made in the i'm
dictment presented by the Norfolk
Grand jury. Mrs. Davis has been in
receipt of q largo number of calls to-
day. The President has granted her
permission to remain with her bus.
band at Fortress Monroe. Burton
Harrison, Davis Private Secretary
also arrived to. night in company with
Que OF Davis counsel.
San Francisco, May 3l.-About 81
o'clock last evening the Steamship
OriSaba lying at Pacific street wharf
was discovered to be on fire and alarm
was immediately sounded. The flames
soon burst up through the hatchways,
enveloping that portion of the ship in
sheet of fame. Tho Department
was promptly on hand and through
their extraordinary exertions the
flames were driven back to the hold
andin about an hour were entirely ex
tinguished. Contrary to the expect.
ations of nearly every one, the ship
sustained comparatively slight injur
les. The damage docs not exceed 81
500 to $4,000. The fire caught in the
engine room, amidships, but how il
notknown. The ship caught fire Tues
day after noon but broke out afresi
last night. :
The court is engaged in the invest
cation ofcharges and counter charges
growing out of the squatter troubles
in the western addition, in which
Duane, Ross and others were engag
ed, and which led to the shooting O
Ross by Duane. The charge OF mur
der has been set for next Thursday, a
halt past one O'Clock, r. M. The Du
ane's are in court to-day, listening t,
testimony and making suggestions il
the matter to their counsel.

No REPREsENTATIoN.-The Reconstrue-
ton Cor-mittee, or rather the Obstruction
Committee, have at last agreed upon pro
gramme by which it is proposed to allow the
South its representatives in Congress. tits
nothing more nor less than might have been
expected-an insult to every gentleman and
lady in the Southern States. Our readers
will find the report in another column, and
after reading it, win doubtless come to the
conclusion that it is far better to remain
without representation than submit to such
humiliation. For our own part we had
rather remain as we are, for if we accept the
terms proposed by the Committee on Recon
struetion our case will be in no wise better
ed, but rendered thousand fold more de-
grading. Let US at least protect our honor
if we cannot our liberty.

The NUMBEe.-The provost marshal gem
eral has completed careful compilation
from the muster rolls of all the deaths in
battle, from wounds and from disease, in ev-
cry regiment and company of every loyal
State during the war. It appears that $50,
1893 officers and men have lost their lives in
the service. OF this number, ,22I commits
stoned officers and 90,S86 men have been
killed in action, or died of wounds while
1921 commissioned officers and I82, 329 en-
listed men died of disease TO this, must
be added the number Of those who were
killed in action, died of wounds or disease,
and who went into the federal army from the
Southern States, for, be it remembered, that
the South furnished 10000 men to the
Union army-more men than Lee had on his
grand muster roll at the time of his surren-
der at least 10000 of this number were
killed or died in the service, which, added to
the total loss from loyal states as given
above, swells the total deaths from all causes
to 500. 1881
