The Reconstruction Lnw-rhe Military Com-
mandcrs.
have lust received information which confirms my
despatch of four days ago relative to the five generals
who will bc appointed by the President. The whole
business decided to-day, and Generals Thomas,
sickles Sheridan Schofed and Ord or Hanrn" - %
he tho man THAR na,nas 70 oncialy announced
nav, rro-a-. ,ickles win continue in his present
command Of North and South Carolina, Sheridan win
have Louisiana and Texas, Thomas will have Mississippi
and Arkansas, and Hancock or Crd Georgia, Alabama
and Florida Should Hancock get the latter Ord will be
given regular military command over Kentucky and
Tennessee. The programme to military instructions
20 the commanders will be changed slightly from
what originally contemplated. The President will
only issue very general instructions leaving details to
be fixed at meeting OF the commanders This has been
0ccasioned by the fact that the different districts require
different treatment, and therefore very large
discretion must be left to the commanders. Gen.
erals Sickles and Schofeld were coseted with the
President and General Grant for long time this after.
noon, discussing the best plan OF proceeding Scho-
fields appointment s said to have been hastened by
petition sent privately the President from the General
Assembly Of Virginia praying for his continuance in
command
II is given out that the President has made up his
mind to enforce the Reconstruction act faithfully and
oHer CONSTRUCTIONS or delays KIND 70
tts operation Thus this much talked of matter has
been finally settled.
Ould and Crump have returned to Virginia Before
leaving here they advised by the President not to
call any convention, but to leave that duty to the
military commander This will defeat the bill in the
House Of Assembly tomorrow.
Senator Wilson'S bill supplementary to the s.act to
provide for the efficient government or the rebel
States, proposes to facilitate restoration by providing
for registration Of legal voters in each OF the military
districts through The commanding General for the con-
ducting Of elections the calling of conven
tons, and for other purposes preliminary adms
s'on Of the Southern Senators and Representatives into
Congress. Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee
TO which the bill was referred agreed report back the
same with recommendation that it do pass. The
House Committee the Judiciary also held meeting
on the same day, and approved Of the measure with
Few amendments Therefore it may be concluded that
the bill will soon pass Congress and become n law 1t

the Senate suggest such action. remark OF sen.

temperance meeting indicated such understanding
He said he hoped that they would have oppor-
tunity to meet again, though 1t was impossible to say
how the adjournment would take place. There are
large number OF nominations that the Senate will be
