New YORK, March l6.-The Tines
special says: Delegations from the South
are, arriving here daily for the purpose
of obtaining the views Of the President
on the Reconstruction bill. Governor
jenkins, of Georgia, at the head Of a
delegation from that State, will soon be
here; and, among other important ques-
tions involved in the operations Of the
bill to which he will call the attention
of the Administration, is the reputation
| of the State debt. Since the close Of
the war, the Georgia Legislature has
passed a law paying the old debt of the
State by issuing bonds, which, being
issued under the authority Of the pre-
sent Government, is declared illegal by
the bill, and now worthless. All the
Southern cities are now in the same
predicsment, as they have also issued
| bonds in the same manner.
The Tribune's special says it is gen.
orally believed that there will be no
nominations sent to the Senate at pre-
sent for Naval Officer of New York. Mr..
| Franklin will therefore hold the place.
1t is understood that Thurlow Weed
| effected this when last In the city. One
or two applicants now here assert that
the President positively promised to
send q nomination to the Senate for that
position before Congress adjourns.
The Herdid's special says that the
system Of checks against the over-issue
Of Government bonds and securities is
such that it would require collision be-
tween the FIVE different officials through
whose hands they pass, and by each OF
whom they are counted, to accomplish
it. As there is no evidence of this, the
reports are attributed to the efforts Of
