FROM WASHINGTON.

The Southern Express Company.
New YORK, June 25.-The morning pa
pers contain the following specials from
Washington:
The Express Company started at the
South since the war, have had meeting of
their Board of Directors to take into con-
sdcration steps to raise money to keep up
the company. Itseems that 70 per cent. of
the stockholders have quit paying up the
frequent assessments, and though one and
a half millions have been called in, only
100000 have been paid. 1t was finally
agreed that all shareholders who would not
pay up $50 per share at once, should forfeit
all they have paid in to those who do pay
up, and the 30 per cent. who have complied
with the calls will become owners of all the
assets.
Nominations to The Senate.
The nomination of Provisional Governor
johnson, of Ga, as Minister to Bologna,
will, it Is said, be followed this week by
that of two other Provisional Governors to
important positions. 1t is not probable
that they will be confirmed by the Senate,
as Holuen cannot take the test oath, and it
is doubtful about johnson.
The nomination of verv large number
of Collectors, Assessors, Postmasters and
others, have not yet been sent to the SEN
ate by the President 1t is not improbable
that many of them will fail of cOnfirma-
ton, owing to the little time allowed by the
Senate to investigate their character.
The President stated to- day that he would
send IN to the Senate a nomination for Ma
val officer, vice Odell There are number
Of New York politicians here looking for
1t, but it is not certain who will be ap-
pointed.

The Tariff RilI.
The new tariff is so near completed that
it is expected the committee can finish it at
their session tomorrow. They have cut
down what is known among American
manufacturers as the Colwell tariff, prepar-
ed with years labor, after cor sulting the
various interests that were asking protec-
tion, and already combinations are being
made on the floor to so am"nd the bill as to
give it protective character. The endeav-
ors to obtain duty of one cent per pound
upon soda ash, which Is now all imported.
until some extensive work could be built
here that will enable Americans to supply
home article at two cents per pound,
which, during the war, has rated from four
to twelve cents, failed yesterday. Mr.
Morrill, thought because there were now
no manufactures here for that purpose, soda
ash should come in free OF duty, and the
committee refused the advance. Drugs,
chemicals and dye stuffs, wines and liquors,
and other like articles from which source
of great revenue could be derived, are to
be passed over for want of time. The BIZ
