WASHINGTON, July 27.--Mr. Harlan, this after
noon, in a brief but courteous note TO the Presi-f
dent resigns the Office of secretary of the interior
The Senate to-day passed the bill for the admis
sion of Nebraska, and also passed joint resolu-
ton so modifying the test oath as to permit Sena
tor Patterson of Tennessee, to take his seat. This
requires the concurrence of the House.
The House disagreed to the Senate amendment
to the civil appropriation bill, appropriating one
and half million dollars for repairing the Missis-
sippi levees; also, by a large majority, voted
down the proposition to increase the salaries Of
members of Congress from $4,000 to $4,000.
The House judiciary committee made their re-
port to-day relative to the alleged completely of
| Jefferson Davis in the assassination, wherein they
state it is notorious that said Davis was guilty
of the crime of treason according to the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States, and the
| committee are of the opinion that there are no
obstacles to speedy and impartial trial which
can be removed by legislation. The evidence in
possession of the committee connecting Jefferson
Davis with the assassination of President Lincoln
| justifes the committee in saying that there is
probable cause to believe that he was prvy to
| the measures which led to the commission of the
deed, but the Investigations which have been made
| by the war department and by the committee
have not resulted in placing the government in
possession of all the facts in the case. 1t is
probable, however, that the further prosecution
of the investigation by the committee and by the
officers of the government, will result finally in a
full development of the whole transaction. The
capture of the rebel archives has put the gov
ernment in possession of mass of letters, papers
and documents of various kinds a portion OF
which has been examined.
