THIRD EDITION
FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON.

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TELEaRAPH.l
WASHINGTON, August 4.
Secretary McCullOch-COILeotOr Smythos
delegation from the New York bankers and
brokers arrived in town yesterday, and waited
upon the President to secure the removal of
Secretary McCulloch. There are many rumors
to-day on the street as to efforts being made
for the removal of Collector Smythe, Of New
York city. The opposition comes from the
Weed faction.
Appointment Of SIOanaker.
A. B. Sloanaker was Unexpectedly appointed
and commissioned yesterday as Collector OF
Internal Revenue for the First District of Penn
sylvania. His bonds were Immediately filed.
Jefferson Davis.
Charles 0Conor, Esq, counsel for Jefferson
Davis arrived in town yesterday from visit to
his client at Fortress Monroe. He finds Mr..
Davis health in nowise improved since his last
visit, and thinks if anything he is physically
little weaker, though his mental faculties con-
tinue with their wonted fire shness. From sun
rise to sunset he is allowed full freedom inside
the fort, going whittier he chooses unattended,
he being on parole; but the returning of the
prisoner to close confinement when the sun goes
down is what is now affecting his condition
more than aught else.
The nights being warm and close, and, what
is still worse, being away from the society of his
wife and children, at twilight he feels bitterly
this continued over-anxiety of his solitary con-
inement. The reports of the Congressional
Committee regarding Mr.. Davis have given no
cause of Apprehension to the counsel or client,
that the latters completely in the assassination
OF President Lincoln can be proved. The visit
was in nowise the result of that report.
When, or whether Mr.. Davis will be tried at
all, can at present be purely matter of specu-
lation, the authorities in no manner giving the
least hint Mr.. Stanbery the new Attorney
General, will give his attention to the various
papers in the case as soon as he shall become
little more conversant with the duties of his
office; and before the October Term of the vir-
ginia United States District Court. the several
legal advisers of the Government will hold a
consultation with reference to the merits of the
JEFF. Davis indictment.
