The N. Y. Tribune's Washington special
says:
Messrs Pollard and Rives of the Richmond Ex-
aminer having invoked in vain the interference of
the president in order to secure the resembling of
Gen. Terry's recent order suppressing their paper
for expression of disloyal sentiments, yesterday
visited Gen. Grant, before whom he laid his griev-
canoes and of whom he asked permission to re-
sumo publication of this paper. Gen. Grant after
listening patiently to Pollard's representations
quietly informed HIM that he would receive any
written communication addressed him from Rich
mond, but that at present he could not give his 1
decision in the matter.
The suppression of the Examiner was done on /
positive orders from Gen. Grant who announces his |
intention OF suppressing all newspapers in the |
south which have the audacity to come out in |
similar bold denuuciation of the government.
A gentleman just returned from Richmond re- |
ports that the military order prohibiting the ear
ing OF gray adorned with rebel buttons, in that
city, is being strictly carried out. One of the
weapons carried by the patrol is formidable pair
of shears which are brought into requistIon when
any unconstructed rebel makes his appearance on
the street.
