New York, June 24.4The Herald's
New Orleans special says the yellow fever
has appeared in that city. @ .
The Tribunes Galveston dispatch says
the opinion Of Attorney General Stanberry
IL already bringing forth evil fruit. The
spirit of revolt is strengthening. Mayor
Aviland, was removed BY Gen. Griffin
for Rebel proclivities. W i
The unearthing of an immense villainy
has begun here During the war the Rebel
Legislature ordered a sweeping and COM
plete confiscation of all property, real and
personal, held by loyal men. This act was
enforced with remorseless yigor. Property
valued at more than sixty millions was
sold by Judge Divine, just pardoned by
President johnson. The Rebel records are
imperfect and blind, and do not show the
names Of the purchasers. Immense sums
were abstracted by the receivers. The con-
6scations Of Cromwell in ireland do not
equal this in extent and cruelty. Gen.
Griffin is urged to probe this huge spolia-
tion to the bottom.
The Tribune's Washington special says:
Letters and telegrams have been received
by the Union Congressional Executive
Committee here from enough members of
Congress to insure quorum in July. So
short summer session is fixed fact A
number Of the letters received from Repub-
hcan members state that they will come on
condition that the session shall not last
over two or three weeks at the furtherest
They do not wish TO proceed with the regu-
lar business of Congress, but merely to fix
definitely the reconstruction act, so that
President johnson and Mr.. Stanberry
will be prevented hereafter from giving any
more trouble and hindering reconstruction
IL is evident also from the tone of their
letters that an attempt will be made TO have
Speaker Colfax announce the committees
Immediately so as to able to go right to
work. This plan is favored by those anx-
ious to impeach the President, and by 9TH
ers who are opposed TO Secretary McCnl-
loeh's present financial policy, and espeei-
ally in respect to the present system Of
national banks. Those who are in favor OF
long session say if once quorum is at
tained The session will be kept long enough
10 settle definitely the question of impeaeh-
ment. @
New York, June 24.-Jeff Thompson
has written a letter endorsing the senti-
ments of Gen. Longstreet concerning re-
construction. Gen. Longstreet says he did
not intend to ally himself with the Radical
party, bat only gave what he thought was
the best advice to his Southern brethren in
his recent letter. ~
The Heralds special says j. Geo. III.
Pendleton entertained Schuyler Colfax and
two OF three other Radicals at his residence
near Cincinnati, on Saturday. ~.
The Herslds special says; A secret
society has been started in Memphis, Tenn,
which is said to be one of many hundreds
existing throughout the State, among the
colored population. The organization is
ostensibly for benevolent purposes, but in
one Of its degrees it requires the initiated
eolored man to take fearful oath TO muir
der those who abandon its ranks and op-
pose BroWnlowism
