JAMES L. MONTEREY, Secretary.
The recent interviews of Secretary Seward with
Mfr. Thaddeus Stevens are explained at last. 1t ap.
pears that the Secretary has asked for specal ap
preparation of $780, coo TO allow his department 10
prosecute certain pending in both England
and France, for the recovery Of large amounts OF
property belonging rghtfully to the United States,
and also to defray the expenses OF hunting up ana
instructed by his committee TO bring in bill for that
purpose which he will report tomorrow. Many ask
that ii be put upon its passage. 1t appears that lhe
appropriation for this amount is absolutely necessary
and Mr.. Stevens has prnised to put 1t through the
House without delay.
II is stated on good authority that the President has
signed the necessary papers pardoDing Col. T.. T..
Paulding, late Paymaster in the army, who was con-
Yicted last Summer before eOuTt martial Tor dls0be-
dience of ORDERS and sentenced TO O years cOnhne
m Fort Henry and a n fine Of NID.tOO.
IL will be remembered that Col. Pauldings otense
was in depOstDg several hundred thousand dollars
contrary 10 orders in the Merchants National Bank,
of which Leonard Huyck was President, upon the
failure of which bank the Government was loser 70
a very large amount
The Pay Department, on Saturday, commenced
paying claims for the extra bounty to soldiers, under
the act of July %, 1866 and payments will continue
to be made fast the necessary information can be
obtained from the other departments The claims
which have thus far been taken up were from the
States Of New-York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and
regiments belonging to the Veteran Reserve Corps
and the Regular Army. II is usless for claimants TO
annoy the Department with inquiries regarding their
claims. Such inquiries will not facilitate their pay
ment
volunteer soldier, who died in November last,
bequeathed to person. to whom he was indebted Tor
attendance during his illness, his claim to extra
bounty. The accounting officers of the Government
hold that the act of July p, 1906 creates no inherit
ance either by descent or by will beyond what is
therein expressly asserted The legatee in the cnse
referred TO cannot therefore, inherit the extra bounty
bequelthed by the soldier. IL has also been decided
that officers and soldiers who decline to accept trans
pOrtaton in kind npon muster out, have no claim 70
travel pay, &C., to place of enrichment.
Smuggling all along coast and frontier IS more
rife az this time than it has ever been before 10 Is
carried on more safely and extensively where the Off
Of customs frequently changed and at all the
points, with one or two exceptions, where officers
have been superseded for political reasons there is
more successful smuggling than at any previous
period. Some revelations on this subject viii proba
bly, shortly be made.
There is the best authority for saying that the Pes
dent has positively determined not to interfere in the
case Of jeff DAVIS by ordering his release oil parole
but that he will remain where he is until arrange
ments can be made for his trial some time during the
ensuing Spring.
Private letters Just received from the Gulf States
written Nov. 90 say that the South il waiting for
the release Of jeff Davis before she celebrates her

President johnson has to-day Issued an order in
compliance with the suggestion OF a memorial pre-
sented TO him by DIR. j. H. GriscOm, on behalf OF the
Prison Association granting the privileges Of tb COM
mutation system 10 the State Of NewYork to all con-
ycts under sentence Of the civil and military courts Of
the United States, extending 70 them the same elem
ency and abatement Of tiIne upon the same terms
provided for the cOnvcts under sentence Of the state
as an inducement and consideration for good conduct
and faithful and dlgent attention OF coDyicts in the
observance OF the regulations OF tDe PRISONS anu III
the performance OF the work imposed upon them.
This benevolent suggestion received the prompt
and cordial assent Of the President and in accordance
Herewith the Attorney General was requested
Immediately TO prepare suitable document for the
execution Of the design, movement which will I'M
doubedly increase the good order Of the prisoners and
encourage the reformation OF those from whom the
benefits Of the law have heretofore been withheld.
A law Of similar purport applicable toe all the
States in the Union, was to-day introduced III Con-

The subject Of dispensing with the employment Of
women in the Treasury Department, is undergoing
discussion. 1t is asserted that while many Of them
capable and their salaries others are inef
Cient and undeserving notwithstanding which it is
impossible to discharge them, owing to the impor-
tHnity Of friends aud other influences the pay being
greater than that which women receive in any other
vocation. The pressure for appointments is over
whelming; the Presidents house, Gen. Grants head
quarters, and the Treasury Department are beseiged
continually and on many days the greater portion Of
the time OF the Secretary aud his assistants is taken
up in refusing to employ women and in explaining the
for such refusal. There from 80 to 100
more women in the Treasury Department than the
Secretary is justified in retaining.
In view of ell the disadvantages attending the en-
ployment OF women, and the continued pressure for
appointments and the consequent annoyance the Sec
rotary of the Treasury considering the expedieney Of
following the example Of the Secretary Of the Interior
and dismissing at once all the female employees.
Mr.. Richardson Of Boston arrived this morning and
entered for trial in the Supreme Court Of the United
States several liquor cases, involving questions not
decided last Winter. The questions may or not be
heard during ths term. An effort, il is said, will be
made in Congress to change the law upon the subject
