The editor of the defunct Richmond Examiner
| called on General Grant to-day, disclaimed
| responsibility for the offensive publications,
| and solicited a revocation of the order suspend
| ing its publication. He was directed 10 submit
| his request in writing, that 1t might properly

II is proper to state that the action of Gene

Pollard, of the Examiner, having failed to get
satisfaction in his interview with the Presi-

| He apologiZed, and tried to explain away the

pointed out to him the bad influence OF has

AREBEL SOLDIER CLAIMS BOUNTY.
Judge Barrett, COMMISSIONS of the Pension
Bureau, to-day made an important decision
relative to the claim of an eX-rebel soldier for
| land bounty, on the ground that he had rem
| dered military service to the Government In
| the war Of 1912. The Commissioner very Justly
decided that by his participation In q war
| against the Union he had forfeited his title to
any awards for services prior to the rebellion.
THE PRESIDENT AND FFICE-HoLDERs
1t is the avowed policy of the Administra-
| ton to rule the Republican party by the appli-
| ances of public plumber, and to array the post
masters and revenue ofhcers against the
popular conscience. Public opinion here had
- fnr tIic Gov cnron limo and en-
| nobody is taken by surprise. Some rather sin
gular cases have become known in which the
| President has oyerridden the recommendation
| of Senators and Representatives, and, indeed,
| of entire delegations, in removing from Office
men who had opinions of their own, and
appointing others who could be counted upon
under all circumstances to support the Ere
sident's policy. ~ Washington Correspondence

THE FREEDMBN's BUREAU BILL.
The National Intelligencer of Saturday has an
editorial two columns and a half long on the
| Freedmen's Bureau bill. We infer from this
fact that the President will not sign the bill
| until it shall have been much modified.
CAPTAIN sEMMEs.
It is stated that Raphael Semmes has pre-
pared an elaborate defence, based on the
assumed right of the South to secede, to estab-

THE TENNESSEE QUESTION.
1t is stated that the Committee Of Fifteen
is getting ready to report in favor Of the re-
admission of the State of Tennessee by bill;
not deciding upon the qualification of the
members and Senators elect, leaving that
question to the respective Committees on
Elections, and re-admitting Tennessee as a

cussed in political circles with much interest,
and the question is asked on what theory Con
gress, after having admitted Tennessee with
out any further guarantees, can delay the re-
admission of the other States. The explana-
tons the Committee will give on this point
are looked for with much curiosity. Provided
there be any truth in the rumor at all, there
are many earnest men here who look upon
Tennessee as the Trojan horse, which will
carry in all rebellion concealed in its belly
and I am trustworthy informed this is the
view taken of 1t at the White House, as well
as among the Democrats and Southern delega-
tions. They openly boast that Tennessee is TO
be used as the entering wedge, and that after
ward there will be no common ground OF
principle for the Republicans pom which to
oppose the invasion of the disloyal pro-
slavery element. The movements OF the Com
mittee of Fifteen, however, are kept secret,
and nothing certain can be said about them.
The Eeps says this bill will certainly be
reported, and by Thad. Stevens,-fsD YORK
