NEW YORK, May s.-The Herald's speci'
says There is no longer room to doubt tn
Presidents action on the Colorado bill. Hi
intention to veto it is unmistakable. Til
principal objection urged against it is r5
ported to be the floating and unstable chal
acter of its population, although there ar
others sufficiently valid.
The Merchants National Bank.
The excitement connected with the sus
pension Of the Merchants National BAN
has comparatively subsidized. An exsmina
ton has been going on for two DAYS unde
the auspices Of the Government, and it j
not yet concluded.

The Military Commission convened b.
special orders from the War Department

TO the Senate for confirmation to offices in

RUmOred General Order.
It is rumored in military circles that an
order mastering out all volunteer general
officers will emanate in a few days. Most
Of these officers hold commissions in the

Miscellaneous Items.
The United States Treasurer Yesterday
authorized the shipment of $1,000 in frae-
tional currency to different banks.
The Times special denies the statement
that there was q general distrust of the
banks in Washington, and says no run has
been made upon them.
The Times special says Secretary Nc
Culloch, who made a trip to Fortress Mon
roe and back, leaving mere on Saturday and
returning or Monday morning last, had,
while at the Fortress, q few moments con-
versation with JEFF. Davis. There was
nothing of special interest in the interview,
the conversation being general and quite
health.
The Government has determined to hold
the gold claimed by the Richmond banks
as belonging to them, some account of the
seizure of which l have already given. The
proofs seems to establish clearly that the
gold belonged to the so-ealled Southern
Confederacy, and was on deposit with the
banks, subject to the drafts of the Confed-
eraey.
indian Affairs.
The Tribune's special says the Commits
sioner of Indian affairs is making arrange
ments to hold q council with the indians on
the Plains, at Fort Laramie, for q treaty
with them. A telegram received yester-
day from Z. B. Taylor, superintendent at
Omaha, states that 20, 900 Indians will ct
tend, and desires to know what subsistence
can be furnished them.
The Telegraph System.
The Senate's special committee, appointed
to examine into the present telegraph sys-
tenn, have called upon the Post Master Gen
eral for a report in regard to the expedien-
cy Of eonnecting it with the Postal system.
The Postmaster General is now engaged
upon his report, and will have it ready to
submittO the committee in a few days. I'm
til it Is received no action will be taken by
the committee.
The Senate Committee on foreign affairs
to-day unanimously agreed to report sickles
as Minister to Hague. and all reports of any
adverse action are unqualifedly false.
General sickles to-day officially informed
the Secretary of State of his declension of
this position. He desires to return to his
present command, and was to-day notified
By both the Secretary OF War and General
Grant that he could do SO.
Miscellaneous.
The President pardoned Stewart Mofitt,
convicted of having counterfeit money with
the intention OF passing it.
General Rufus Ingalls, has been ordered
an inspection of the military posts
Of Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Montana and
California.
The special Committee on the Provost
Marshal's Bureau have passed a resolution
that their proceedings shall h tapt secret.
The statement that the matter vas likely
to be dropped, circulated by the friends Of
Nj. Fry, is slightly incorrect. The matter
will be thoroughly probed.
1t should be known that the redemption
division OF the Treasury will receive pack
ages Of mutilated National Currency il
sums amounting to three dollars. So many
packages of that sum are received that it is
thought people are of the opinion that is
the limit.
