TEE DISPATCHES OF TIE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FROM WASHINGTON.


WAsBISerox. April 1.-The House Military Com
mittee have instructed General Schenek to report
to the House to-day the bill for the reorganization
Of the army. 1t does not change the number OF
the army from what Mr.. Wilson's Senate bill pro-
vided for. Itauthorizes the Veteran Reserve
Corps TO be consolidated and continued in ten reg
meBts, and all officers hereafter appointed to that
division are to be wounded volunteers. Il omits
the I'd regiment of colored cavalry. and raduecs
The col0red infantry regiments from ten TO eight
1t favors officers Of the line and in the field, and
does not, the present laws do, favor officers on
detail at Washington and elsewhere with inereas-
ed pay and perquisites. The pay Of Brig. Gener-
ais on duty in Washington is S, 1873 cash, and
forage worth 1888; or 81. 269.7O per annum in mon
ey. If that same General goes to the field he gets
$l,4s5.25 less.
1t is now admitted that the resolutions guaran-
teeing the Mexican loan will pass the House of
Representatives. The opponents of the measure
eOneede that much. It is understood that num-
Der Of members will vote for it for the purpose of
giving Napoleon to understand this country is in
earnest in regard to its Endorsement Of the Re-
public Of Mexico. Their votes in some instances
will be given for the measure in the hope that
with its passage in the House. Napoleon viii take
the hint, and will withdraw from the country. 1t
Is understood that after its passage in the lower
House. il will be held in the Senate to see whether
the French Emperor will take the hint without
further action by Congress. Both Congress and
the President are very determined and positive in
their opposition TO the Imperial Mexican scheme
While there is nc disposition to bring on any
serions complications with Napoleon, there is a
determination TODD something that will show him
that this country viii not submit to any double
dealing or doubtful course on his part For this
reason. the vote will be very decided in the House.
The action Of the Senate will depend upon Ma.
pOleon's action after the lower House gives him
decided hint by the passage Of the measure in that
body.
Mrs. JEFF. Davis is understood to be en- route to
Washington, in hopes of obtaining permission to
visit her husband in his prison at Fortress Mon
roe. She will probably arrive in company of A.
IL. Stephens within day or so.
The Finance Committee Of the Senate have de-
eided to report the so called Loan bill in the pre-
else shape that it passed the House. The report
will probably be made to-day. An effort was
made in the Committee to modify it, but failed.
1t is considered by a majority of the Committee
to be harmless as it is and therefore best to pass
il without amendment.
The vote on the Civil Rights bill will be post
poncd till Wednesday owing to the absence of
Senators to attend the funeral of Senator FoOte.
Number of persons have been called here by
the primitive announcement that the rewards for
the arrest Of the conspirators were about to be
paid. Nasdecision in that respect has been ar
rived at by the Government
1t is stated that there will be no Interference
with the celebration of the negroes in Rich
mOnd.
