Rodgers shrunk from undertaking active re-

WASHINGTON, June lj.-SENATE.-Thc
President returned the bill incorporating
the New York and Montana Iron Milling
Company, with his objections. The PreSi-
dent thinks the bill gives monopoly to a
corporation of unknown corporatOrS, to
the detriment Of settlers, who have the
right to claim lands under the homestead
law.

sault on Mr.. Grinnell to report the same,
with resolutions looking TO the vindication
of the dignity of the House and the pro-
lection of members. Mr.. Bingham sub
mitted a concurrent resolution, requesting
the President to inform forthwith the
governors of the States of the passage by
Congress of the proposed constitutional
amendment, so that the Legislatures may
act on it at once.
The resolution was objected to by Mr..
lie Blond. Some remarks followed, which
led to decision by the Speaker that the
joint resolution did not have to be submit
ted to the President for his signature.
After some debate on the special order,
viz: the bill restoring the southern States
topoltical privileges, the House adjourned.

The gold quotation took another jump
this morning, commencing at l4s1s, soon

it rose no higher, and soon declined to l4s

TIE PRESIDENT ORDERS THE RELEASE OF
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

TIE PRESIDENT ORDERS THE RELEASE OF
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
| believe | am safe in saying that the
President has written the order for the re-
lease of Jefferson Davis on parole, and that
it will be immediately sent to General
Miles. The President announced his IN
tention to do this to the Cabinet on the
Sth instant. But lie was aware at the
time that there was an effort being made,
not hv the counsel of Mr.. Davis, but by
Horace Greeley and several other intiucn-
tial members of the Republican party, To
get the prisoner admitted to bail. lie
knew that this application would be refer
red by "Judgc' Underwood to Chief JUS
tice Chase, if, indeed, it would not be
made directly to the latter. lie desired
to wait, therefore, to sec what action the
Chief Justice would take in the matter.
But now that the application to admit the
prisoner to bail has been refused; and now
that the trial has been postponed noml-
nallv till October, really till December, the
President is not willing to take the reSpon-
sibilitv of keeping Jefferson Davis III prl-
son any longer. 1t Is no secret TO those
who are behind the scenes, that there
never has been any purpose on the part OF
the Radicals who control matters here, or
on the part of the Chief Justice, or on the
part of the Attorney General, to have Mr..
Davis tried in the civil courts. They
know too well that the result of such a
trial would be full and honorable acquit-
tai. Hence the various obstacles which
have been thrown in the way of trial for
many months past. Hence the recent
postponement of the trial, under the most
timsy prctcxts, till October Washington
Correspondence Ne,o York Ne'rS.
We give the above for what it is worth
We have little faith in the truth Of the
statement that Mr.. Davis is to be released
at once.

THE CASE OF SEM MES.

SPEcULATIoNs UPON CHoLERA.-Dr. Swan,
of Providence, has published a comnIuni-
cation in the Boston Medical Journal, in
which he expresses the opinion that
the cholera, in its present develop
ment in Europe, is in many respects
unlike the epidemic of former years.
Though severe in some places, it has not
been so widespread and generally preva-
lent; it did not continue to show itself
through the winter in England and France
as in the winters of 1913 and 1858; as the
spring opens it has not appeared in Eng
land and has not appeared so generally in
emigrant vessels as in those years. If it
does obtain a foothold at all in this coun-
try, he believes it will be to limited ex-
tent only, and will not be severe except
where the local causes are unusually bad.

The CRops.-In New England the crops

THE CRoPs.-In New England the crops
are generally reported good hay will be
abundant, and the fruit yield millions of
dollars in advance of last year. In the
south the general report is that the crops
will turn out we'll, although in some quar-
tiers excessive rains are complained of.
The wheat throughout Georgia has been
harvested, and although the crop is by no
means excellent, it turns out better than
was anticipated some time ago. Along the
lower Mississippi frequent crevasses have
caused great destruction. In southern Hill
nois the wheat crop is said to be failure,
but corn is promising well. In Ohio and
Indiana the wheat promises very badly;
but in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, it
is excellent. In Maryland and Pennsyl-
ysnia it is only moderate.
