says: Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, will tackle the
Reconstruction and report the first thing
next Tuesday morning, with proposition
to amend it 80 that it will conform to his
views on the subject of the basis of repre-
sentation.
The Radicals believe they can easily
make the Reconstruction Committees work
acceptable to the President, pass it after a
couple of days, get Tennessee to ratify it
and admit her representatives to Congress
within twenty days.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
to whom the Mexican loan Endorsement
scheme was referred, are about to report,
and probably will do so on Thursday. 1t is
understood that all the Republican mem
bers of the committee, with the exception
of General Banks, voted to report favorably
on the proposition.

the revenue cutter service of the United

pei Senator Davis of Kentucky from that

red to, and which Senator Howard denounc-

Tho Tribune's special says: The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations agreed to
report adversely upon the case of Mr.. Smith,
of Kansas, nominated as Minister TO Greece,
on the recommendation of Senator Lane, Of
Kansas. Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, nom
mated as Minister to Mexico, it was agreed,
should be reported to the Senate without
any recommendation, pro or con, the COM
mittee being a tie on the matter. General
Daniel L. Sickles, as Minister 10 the Hague,
was laid on the table.
The Committee also agreed to report
bill for raising the rank of Ministers Resi-
dent to Envoy Extraordinary and Ministers
Plenipotent airy, the pay TO remain the same
as at present.
Mr.. Trumbull's amendment to the post
Office bill, which prevents the payment of
am money or salaries of officials who were
appointed during the recess, except in cases
of death, resignation or expiration of term
of office, has such strength in the Senate as
will guarantee its passage by both Houses,
either as an amendment on the appropria-
tiOn bill, or as a separate bill.
The Department of State is in receipt of
news from Europe, which renders war ex
tremely improbable between Austria and
Prussia. The conduct of the latter power
is generally deprecated. The Queen Of
England has written a letter to that Gov
eminent, expressing her disapprobation Of
its bearing in its diplomatic intercourse
with Austria, and strongly counselling
peace.
II. H. Days Niagara Ship Canal bill was
to-day got through the House as a military
measure. All the farming land fronting on
the river on the American side for at least
seven miles below the Falls is encountered
with contracts for use and occupation, Sc
cured by Horace II. Day long ago, in antic-
ipation of the passage of the bill. Next
year $40, OOO, 900 more will be asked for.
