New York, April 2.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The House
Military Committee have instructed
Gen. Schenck to report to the House
to-day the bill for the reorganization of
the army. 1t does not change the num-
Der of the army from what Mr.. Will
sons Senate bill provided for. 1t au-
thorizes the veteran reserves to be con-
solidated and continued in ten regi-
ments, and all officers hereafter appoint
ed to that division are to be wounded
volunteers. It omits the two regiments
of colored cavalry, and reduces the col
ored infantry regiments from ten to
eight. It favors officers on detail at
Washington and elsewhere, in the
line and in the field, and does not as
present laws do, favor officers on detail
ut Washington and elsewhere with in
creased pay and perquisites. The pay
of Brig, Generals on duty in Washing
ton is S543, 575 cash, and forage worth
1884, or 1926, 975 per annum in money.
If that same General goes into the field,
he gets Sl4s, 525 less. s-..eF
A bill is now before the Military
Committee asking an increase of pay
for Gems. Meigs, Dyer and Townsend,
of 81 ,2l4 per year, each, making their
pay s74s, s77. 1t will be reported upon
adversely.
The Herald's Washington special
says: 1t is now admitted that the reso-
lutions guaranteeing the Mexican loan
will pass the House of Representatives.
The opponents of the measure coincide
that much. 1t is understood that a
number of the members will vote for it
for the purpose of giving Napoleon to
understand the country is in earnest in
regard to its endorsements of the Repub-
lie of Mexico. Their votes will, in some
instances, be given for that measure in
the hopes that with its passage in the
House, Napoleon will take the hint and
withdraw from that country. 1t is I'M
derstood that after its passage in the
lower house, it will be held in the
Senate to see whether the French EN-
peror will take the hint without further
action by Congress. Both Congress and
the President are very determined ana
positive in their opposition to the Impe-
rial Mexican scheme, while there is no
disposition to bring in any serious COM
plications with Napoleon, there is a de-
termination to do something that Will
show to him that this country will not
submit to any double dealing or doubt
full course on his part. For this reason
House. The action of the Senate will
be upon Napoleon's action, after the
House has given him decided hint by
the passage of the measure in that
body. 4a fs
Mrs. JEFF. Davis is understood to be
en- route TO washington IN hopes Oh OD-
tanning permission TO visit her husband
in his prison at Fortress Monroe. She
will probably arrive in company with
A. ii. Stephens within a day or two.
The Finance Committee of the Sen
ate have decided to report the so-called
loan bill in the precise shape that It
passed the House. The report Will
PROBABLY BIO made to-day. An effort
was made in the committee to modify
it, but it failed. 1t is consider by
majority of the committee to be harul-
less as It Is, and therefore, best to pass
it without amendments.
A Neutrality-suspicious. states that d vote
on the civil rights bill Will lie postpon-
ed until Wednesday, owing to the ap-
sence of the Senators to attend the fun
eral of the late Senator Foote.
It is believed TINT certain parties con-
nected with the French Legation are
engaged in Inducing parties take con-
tracts to collect Imperial revenues in
Mexico.
The Worlds Washington special says
that number of persons have been
called hero by tho premature announce
mcnt that rewards for the arrest of the
conspirators were about to be distribu-
ted. No decision in that respect has
been arrived at by thew Department.
