customs, miscellaneous sources, and sales of
| public lands for the fiscal year ending to-
morrow, will, It is stated at the Treasury
| Department, foOtup over fivehundred and
| fifty millions. Receipts from internal rev.

100000, and from sales of public lands about
$600,000.
The report that the Military bills of the
House and Senate were In the hands of a
conference committee is untrue. Senator
| Wilson intends amending his bill in one or
| two particulars when 1t will probably COM
mand the assent Of the House.
| The Senate Judiciary committee have not
| yet reached any conclusion inregard to the
Bankrupt bill. The majority Of the mem
bers of the committee are in favor of the
passage of q bill of some sort, but are op-
| posed to the present (Mr. Jenck's) bill, al
though attempts will be made to have it
reported in modified form. The short
ness Of the session and the hostility 1t will
encounter in the Senate will probably
throw it over until next year. -,
| The continued Ill health of General Joe
Hooker, from severe attack Of paralysis,
has decided the War Department to relieve
him in command at New York, and he will
| be granted long leave of absence. GEN
| nroI .TntIt1 poT,a tIill ottncaad nonorol HonEaH

Pope, and General John M. Schofield, who
has lately returned from Europe, will be
! sent to Baltimore.
! Twenty-Five clerks were discharged from
the Pension Office to make places for par
TALLY disabled soldiers, and twenty addi-
tonal ones will be discharged tomorrow.
The retired clerks are said to have been Sc
lected from those who have been longest in
the employ of the Government, some of
whom had held their places from five to ten
years, and even longer. There will be an
otherslaughter of the innocents Tomorrow.
Forty or fifty Assistant Quartermasters
and COmmissaries will be mustered out of
service. " H.. H.... lt|.sr
The ROusSenu.G Case.
The Rousseau-Grinnell committee have
concluded the taking of the testimony In
the case, and are preparing the report, The
| Generals friends feel confident that Rous-
seau will be expelled, while the friends
of the latter are sangnine that nothing
beyond a resolution of censure will
be recommended. The committee have
wisely kept its own councils, and all re-
ports concerning its future action are pure
ly speculative.
The BIaine-COnlkIIne Case.
The Blaine Conkling committee have moi
yet concluded summing up the testimony,
which is voluminous. The general charac-
ter OF the forthcoming report is asserted to
be in justification of COnkling and damag'
ing to Gen. Fry.

Hon. Il. Ii. Washburne.

port from being made before the close o.
the session.
Cabinet Changes Radical Con.
ventiOn TO be Called.
A Times special says: The reports con-
cerning changes in the Cabinet are un'
founded. Neither Mr.. Speed nor Mr.. Har.
Ian has ever remotely suggested to th(
President desire to retire. MN. y

good authority that the prominent Radicals
at Washington have, in series of caucuses
determined to call convention Of th'
States now represented, which shall deter
