wAsHrxeroS, March 4.-The Reconstruction
Committee IL expected TO report tomorrow o
bin recognizing Tennessee as State in the
Union. The Republicans seem TO be divided
on the programme.
The coin. amounting 10 one hundred thou
sand dollars, claimed by the agents Of the
Richmond banks, now on special deposit In
the United States Treasury, and which was
brought hither from Washington, Ga, where
Il was conveyed for the purpose Of safety at
the time of the evacuation Of Richmond, will
be restored to its owners, who have made
claim to the same, provided the identity be-
tween that now on deposit and the amount
captured at Washington, Ga, can be satisfac-
torily established, and certain formal condi-
tions required by the Secretary Of the Urea
sury are complied with by the parties imme-
diately interested.
General Grant has issued an order for con-
yening Board, composed Of General Sher-
man and others, TO assemble at st. Louis, for
the purpose OF making recommendations for
brevet promotion from any brevet or actual
rank for which the appointment is already
confirmed to the grades Of brigadier and
major. general in the regular army. The re-
concentrations will be of two classes. First,
for gallant and meritorious services; and
second, for faithful service.

The Williamsburg Luna,ic Asylum.

The Joint committee Of both Houses Of the
General Assembly, whose report in relation
10 the Eastern Lunatic Asylum has already
been furnished in this paper, were authorized
on Saturday to visit the asylum during the
recess, for the purpose Of completing their in
vestigation into Its condition and manage
ment. This authority was rendered necessary
by the fact that the committee were satisfied
that no effectual measures had been taken TO
remove the corruptions existing in the man
agement of the asylum. The new Board OF
directors appointed by the Governor cannot,
il is presumed, assume the positions to which
they are entitled. There are two sets of Off,
GERS holding commissions of the same date,
and neither will give way to the other. Yet 1t
is also stated that the new Board Of Directors
have already elected three Of their number
10 lucrative offices Of the Institution. Dr. Il. M.
Stewart has been elected superintendent, w.
II. VERIFY assistant steward, and DR.. Cam
consulting physician--the two latter offices
having been created by the new Board.
1t is certain that when the. Governor ap-
pointed new Board Of Directors he did SO
under the impression that they would remove
all those abuses Of which the people had had
too great reason to complain; but as it is
the confusion only grows greater. and 1T is
more difficult than ever to arrive at any just
conclusion. The committee Of the Legisla-
ture have full powers, but their action cannot
be confirmed for many months to come; and
it is earnestly to be hoped that the good sense
Of the interested parties will impel them 10
avoid any public expose, by acting in the
manner that spirit Of right and fairness

THE FREDRRIcKsBURG battlefield.
The House Military Committee have received
a letter from gentleman residing near Frede-
ricksburg, Va, stating that portion OF the
battle ground where the Union dead We're
buried is about to be occupied for fair grounds
and agricultural purposes, and asks the com
mittee to take some action in the matter. The
committee referred the matter to the President,
who has authority, under existing laws, 70

diers' cemeteries.

After saying that the Tennessee members are

MIR. McCuIloch to be Punished.

It seems that Secretary MoCULLocH is so
sensible man, and so much opposed to Freed
mems Bureaus and to all the mad schemes OF
the Radicals, that, at the risk of destroying
the credit of the Government and involving
the commercial interests of the country in
ruin, THAD. STEVENS and his followers intend
TO defeat his wise financial measures. The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says that "the combination Of interests
"against the McCULLocH policy of con-
/" traction of the currency and gradual re-
sumption of specie payments is becoming
identical with opposition to the Presidents
"plan of reconstruction. Mr.. STEVENS is
"Iikely to control the financial as well as the
"political course Of Congress. The supporters
/" of the McCULLocH financial scheme appa-
"rently shrink from competition with the
STEVENS bill. But the political and financial
culture of the country would be represented,
"and both are to be determined by this Con-
"gress, which, SO far, knows no leader but
aMr STEVENS"
