ment thereof at maturity at any other
place than the Treasury of the United

of liberal discretion, he has authorized
the Assistant Treasures at Boston, New
York and Philadelphia TO pay these notes
when presented at their respective offices.
In doing this the Secretary has done as
much for the accommodation Of holders az
the interest of the government and con~
venienee Of the department will permit.
The national depnsis banks cannot be
authorized to redeem componaaS and
Large to your account. Mr.. Spinner has is
+ IIed the following ruies for the presenta-
ton Of note to the Treasury for redemp-
ton
LIST. Holders are required to remit such

President johnson, by invitation of the
SchutZen Nerin, visited the association this
afternoon, at the park, accompanied by
Coils Moore and Morrow, and Mr. Cushan,
of the Presidents household. The Schut-
zen were drawn up in line, and gave the
President cordial reception. He was
then escorted over the grounds to witness
the varied festivities. About a thousand
spectators we're present.
Forty-three thousand and twelve acres of
public lands were disposed of in July at
Sioux City, Iowa, Springfield, Mo-, De-
troit and Lacrosse, mostly for actual set
Element.
The statement that the clerks of the
Freedmens Bureau have organized poll
teal clubs, and nominated General How
ard for President, is wholly without foun-
dalton.
The report to the Freedmen's Bureau
from the Inspector of Schools in Missis-
sippi notices very thorough earnestness on
the part of the white people of Mississippi
to see the freedmen properly educated, and
schools are being organized and established
in almost every part of the State.
Various rlmors prevail as to how the
jury in the Surratt case are divided. The
most reasonable report is that nine are for
acqHittal and three for conviction. The
Marshal has paid out for purely legal fees
$4,000, and it is calculated that the entire
cost Of the trial will be at least 100000
A report prevailed to day that the Presi-
dent had sent Secretary Stanton a note,
saying he would in future refuse to recog-
nize his official acts, but the rumor is en-
tirely without foundation. The President
has addressed nc communication to Mr..
Stanton since that of Monday.
