WASHINGTON, February St appears to
be conceded tonight that the Reconstruc-
ton Committees southern military govern
ment bill is forever buried, and again are
revived the hopes of those who favored a
compromise measure which will, with some
concessions from all sides, meet the appro-
val of the Executive, Congress-, and the
southern Governors.
In the settlement Of this question the
only difficulty o in the way appears to
be the disability section in the amend
ment to the Constitution recommended by
Congress. The promoters of the measure
above alluded to are striving to bring about
an arrangement upon a modification of the
disability section. 1t is urged by those
who ask the rejection of the DISTINGUISHING
clause that Congress has ultimately the
control of that matter, and can refuse to
admit disloyal representatives from the
southern States, if any such be sent to
Congress, and therefore there is no neces.
sity of demanding that the South shall be.
come parties to the punishment of their
own citizens by the adoption of an amend
ment to the Constitution providing for such
Observation-Disclosures to Sun.

Court OF LOuisiana-Judge Theard.

STATE OF LOUISIANA rs. LOUISIANA
STATE BANK.-This important suit came on
in this court yesterday, after a suspension
by military authority since 1863. Prevl-
Gus to the military occupation of New
Orleans the State had deposited in the said
bank large sums of money, the State claim
ing a balance in April, 1862, of S462,-
1928. At the i%nStigation of General
Shepley, and by authority Of General But
Ter, it was agreed that this sum should be
invested in cotton within the lines Of Con-
federate military occupation, and accord
ingly some 5000 bales were purchased and
brought to New Orleans.
The State, alleging that the bank was
under a pretended liquidation, and that it
had fears the agents of the bank would dis
pose of said cotton, obtained a writ of Sc
auestration. in June, 1863, General But
Ter, satisfied that the bank was in liquida-
ton, ordered its assets "to be converted
into cash as speedily aSpoSsible." A board
of liquidators were appointed forthe bank,
and the cotton seized and turned over to
them.
The State now renews its suit for the
sum above claimed. The bank sets up
that the apparent balance to the credit OF
the State grew out of the purchase OF one
million and seventy-five thousand dollars
worth of war bonds, issued by the State,
which the bank was compelled to make at
the time, for the purpose of carrying on
the war against the United States, which
was illegal and void that the bonds were
delivered up to General Candy and have
become entirely useless. That the cotton
was afterwards sold by General Candy as
"captured property" and the proceeds
held by the bank under Especial order"
and that the State has no claim to 1t.
A large array of counsel appeared in
court representing the parties, but the case
was continued until next Wednesday, on
account of absent witnesses. -NeU Orleans
