LATE FROM wAsHINsTON.

WASHINGTON, May A.-phe Star OF
this evening announces on unquestiOna-
bic authority that il is understood that
the republican committee, with whom
the matter was left for decision, have
come to the conclusion that there Is no
necessity for a meeting OF congress In
July.
Reports received to-day at the treasury
Department show that the government
will be exceedingly fortunate II lt comes
out Of the financial troubles at New Or
leans without any losses. The dehe1t IN
the sub-treasury Is larger than was AT
first reported. The special agents nave
heen directed TO hold on to the sub
treasury for the present. No assistant
treasurer has been appointed yet, the
president and secretary Of the treasury
being unable to agree upon any one.
The usual regular Friday cabinet meet
ing was omitted to-day. The special one
of yesterday, having completed all OF the
important business pending, when was
the acceptance of Attorney General
Stanberry's opinion on the reconstruction
sct.
This opinion was placed in type to-
d.1y. and will be furnished to the assO-
citt ted press tomorrow.
s cable telegram in the morning pa
pers from Vienna, to the effect that the
Austrian government had directed Count
WIDE, ,7benck, the Austrian minister, 10
infaree,ie with Juarez in behalf of Max
in1iiian1s life, is old news here. The
minister here has had several informal
interviews already with Romero, the
Mexican minister, on this matter, and
has conferred with Secretary Seward,
who di spatehed special messenger TO
Juarsz protesting in the name Of this
govern ment against Maximilian being
treated otherwise than as prisoner OF
war. All of the Information received
from the liberal authorities is very un-
satisfactory, DO promise or guarantee
being made that the emperor, If cap
tured, will not be executed. Juarez says
that If EseobedO captures haximlllan
his life will not be spared.
The first advices TO the treasury. from
TivATpool stated that the government
wouId loose nothing by the failure of
Frazier. Trenholm & Co. But an inves-
tipation since made shows the failure to
be very bad one, and there is no hope
that the government will save a dollar in
its pending suits.
The judiciary committee had 3 long
session to-day. The first witness who
testified was Gen. Fullerton, postmaster
at st. Louis. His evidence related to the
return by order of the president Of sew

! ton, relative to his report of the presi-
Dental trip to Chicago, and particularly

hanging on the verge of the govern
nopnt."T All of the details Of the trip
