REPORTED FOR THE DAILY ARGUS.

New York, July s.
The life raft, Nonparie., was seen by the
brig Mary E. Rowland, on the 26th of June,
in latitude 400 10><, having good weather.
Ex-Gov. John A. King, of New York,
died at his residence in Jamaica, Long Is
land, yesterday afternoon, from the effect of
stroke of paralysis on the 4th inst.
The question of reconstruction is calling forth
opinions and communications from most of the
leaders in the south, many of whom held high
hi gh rank in the civil OF military service of con-
federacy. The latest effusions from Gen.
Bark ksdale, of Miss, and Gov. Perry, of S. c.,
the former like Longstreet, JEFF. Thompson, and
others, favors reconstruction as rapidly as possi-
BILE while the latter like b. III. Hill, of Ga, and
others, opposes reconstruction under the law and
votes for no convention.
1t is a noticeable fact that the old soldiers and
the politicians are ranging themselves opposite
sides of the question.
The New York Tribune's special says:
When the reconstruction committee met
on Saturday, each of the eighl members had
bill. From all these one bill was made up
and unanimously agreed upon-Mr. Brooks
democrat, being absent.
The senate committee have not yet CON-
pleted their bill, and an attempt will be
made to have both committees report the
sSme bill.
1t seems certain the house will order the
Judiciary committee to report on the I'M
peachment matter. If so, recess till Oc.
tober will be asked for.
The administration has determined to send
nominations to the senate.
The New York Times special says:
The republican members of congress say
the President has intimated his willingness
to approve any reconstruction bill confined
to declaring the intention of congress in the
former acts, leaving it TO be understood that
he is opposed to the whole scheme.
