o TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, June 80. 1907.
An extra session of the Cabinet is expected to be
held tomorrow, to resume the consideration of At
tomey-Gen Stanbery's opinion on the powers Of the
military commanders This subject was in part dis
cussed at previous meetings Of the Cabinet,
but final determination of questions ar
rived at, as has been stated in dispatches
from this city. Nor is it true that Mr.. Stanton
was refused permission to record his views
IN the proceedings, nor has he insisted on the pro-
ceedings being promulgated. II is understood how
ever that publicity will be given to the action Of the
Cabinet on the last opinion as on the first opinion of
Mr.. Stanbery, and the proceedings may appear in
the Associated Press reports on Tuesday OF Wednes
day next.
Qnte a number of nominations will be sent by the
President to the Senate should there be quorum in
Congress this week. Among these are the
nominations of Ministers to Austria, Prussia,
Mexico, Hayt, COnsul-General to Havana,
Commissioner of Agriculture and several
collectors and assessors of the revenue and post
masters. 1t is quite certain that Mr.. Raymond will
be renominated for Austria. Mr. Bancrofts name
WILL of course be sent in for the Pussian nission,
and probably General Thomas Kilby Smith for Consul
to Havana but it is not at all certain what nominal
tons will be made for the remainder Of the positions
named.
The Hon. L. d. Campbell, late United States Minis
ter to Mexico arrived here last night and had in
teryiew with the Assistant Secretary of State. 1t
appears that Mr.. Campbell had peremptory orders
from Mr.. Seward to remain in New-Orleans, and no
orders to go into Mexico in search of PRESIDENT
Juarez were received by him until the first Of the
present month. The instructions then given him
were to proceed to Mexico and take his station
near President Juarez, but no method OF con-
veyance was indicated by which he could get
there. Mr. Campbell it seems was i'll with an attacks
of fever when these instructions reached him. lie az
once set abou procuring vessel for the journey, put
was unable to obtain any. Finding there was no
means of transportation he elegraphed the Depaft-
ment TO havo vessel assigned for his which re-
quest was not complied with As his orders were em-
phatic to JON the Mexican President, and he found
it impossible to do So except by journeying overland
with blanket and haversack he photographed to Mr.
Seward, rendering his resignation, which was ae-
copied and another Minister appointed. J
Mr. Thomas w. Conway, after three months tour
in the Southern States has just reached this city from
New Orleans. He reports the greatest excitement
! pervadng all classes in that city in regard to thu
reported removal of Gen. Sheridan by the President.
Good men of all parties say that they hope the
President will not prolong the agony of the South by
making any new issue with Congress. The loyal
people, without exception. regard Sheridan as doing
| what is best. In the fear of removal many
of the judges in towns and parishes careful
| to do justice, whereas formerly they were apt
| to administer the law with bias Of Partially
for Rebels against Union men. Mr. Conway re-
ports that leading Southern anticipate renewal
of troubles of serious nature if the President at
tempts to interfere with Gen. Sheridan, and that
they give as n reason for hoping to Sheridan
tanned that they want to get into the Union, that
their lands can never be sold or titled success
fully till they do and that long as the President
keeps up fight with Congress the people Of tho
South must be the greatest sufferers He reports the
most deplOrable condition of affairs in Mississippi.
Gen. Ord has appointed Rebels on the Registry
Boards and appears to be in great dsfayOr with the
Union men of the State. Half the freedmen in tho
interior do not know that they have right to vote,
and many say that they have heard they were free,
but do not know it yet.
Members of Congress continue 10 arrive by every
train. Eight or ten from the West came in to-day.
Some of these report others from that section on
the way hithcr. and are confident that quorum of
both Houses will be in Washington on Wednesday
But there ntmations in other quarters that it is
not so certain that the Democratic members viii -
tend in their places that day to answer to the ro
call and secure quorum for business. The Repubi.

termined.
