washington Specials.
New YORK, July 1.-THE morning
papers have the following specials from
Washington:
The President, on receiving Attorney
General Speeds resignation, imme.
Stansberry, of Kentucky, profferinl
him the appointment, and tonight re,
ceived a reply, which does not accent
but states that Mr.. Stansberry will i'm.
mediately come to Washington and
confer with the President on the sub.
ject. Mr.. Stansberry will no doubt ac-
cept the nomination.
Hon. Freeman Clark, Comptroller OF
the Currency, to-day rendered his resig.
nation to the Secretary of the Treasury
to take effect GU the oath inst. This ac-
ton by Mr.. Clark, has been contempla-
ted for some time. He is said to be not
very well pleased with the manner in
which the national bank Investigation
has been conducted by the House Com
mittee, and as his relations with Mr..
McCulloch have lately been unpleas-
ant, he thus releases himself from an
uncomfortable position.
The Board of Managers of the Ma
tional Military Asylum have deferred
the location of any site for buildings
DESTROYS of securing such an institu-
ton in their vicinity. For the purpose
of organization they elected one gov
ernor, Maj. Gen. E. w. Kinks, of Massa-
chusetts, and selected an executive
committee, consisting of a President,
Secretary and General Kinks. They
also adopted bylaws for the govern
ment of the board of managers, look
ing to the organization of the asylum
and to proper Investment of the fund
with view to income. The fund
amounts to something in excess of
s., OOO, 900, which will give an annual
income of about $780, The board
appropriated S45, 900 to enable a system
of outside relief, to be organized in
order to grant the necessary aid to such
applicants as may be deserving of it in
places where they cannot be provided
for, and the anticipations of the organ
lied system of operations contem-
plated.
1t is stated that Mr.. Harlan will not
his friends. Mr.. Browning is named as
the successor of Mr.. Harlan in the event
OF the formers resignation.
The following postmasters were to-
day appointed by the President: John
II. Gould, of Lockport, New York;

>
A private dispatch received here from
Tennessee, says the Legislature of that
State to-day lacked seven votes of a
quorum.
The following gentlemen have been
selected as the members of the commits
sion to revise and codify the statutes of
the United States in accordance with
the act of Congress recently passed:
Caleb Gushing, of Massachusetts; VIM.
johnson, of Ohio, and Return j. Meigs,
of Washington. It is conceded to be a
good selection. 1t is quite likely that
an effort will be made to admit the rep
resentatives from Tennessee in the
House before the adjournment. Ares
olution to that effect will come up to-
morrow or next day, and of its passage
there is strong probability of success.
The report of the investigation into
the Merchants National Bank swindle,
was submitted in the House to-day.
It was accompanied by the evidence
which fills over 600 pages, and shows a
remarkable conspiracy to defraud the
government for the benefit of individu-
ais, on the part of Huyck, Bayne and
others. The bank has been rotten for
many months, and only buoyed up by
government funds which went to
Bayne & Co.
Attorney General Speeds letter OF
resignation is as follows: s
Office of Attorney General of the United
States. Be good enough sir, to accept
my thanks for the kindness, considera-
ton and confidence you have ever
shown me. I have the honor to be
most respectfully.
(SignedJ JAS. SPEED.
There is considerable speculation as
to who will be chosen Vice President
protein of the Senate before the adj
journment. Senators Pomeroy, Wade
and Sherman are mentioned, but it is
conceded that the East should have it,
as the President and Speaker of the
House are both from the West. The
question will probably be settled by the
secret caucus. The bill for the regula-
Senators Will probably be called up In
the House to- morrow, and the previous
question moved.

fifty-six men, including officers. The
vessel was valued at $40, 200, and is
fully insured.
