the 100000 yet unpaid win soon be

issued.
The press representatives In Wash
ington have called on the Secretary of
the Treasury to reseind the order pro-
hibiting them from obtaining informa-
tion for publication.
Senior Don Luis Molina, who for
several years past has acceptably repre-
sented several Of the Central American
governments at Washington, on Sunday
presented his letter of recall to the Pre-
sldent.
The President has appointed as gov
eminent Inspectors of the Union Pacific
railroad, Jesse L. Williams Of Indiana,
Timothy Garter of Illinois, James S.
Rollins OF Mississippi, and George Ash
mum of Massachusetts.
1T is quite probable that the Treas
ury Department will modify the regula-
tions recently issued relative to cotton
in bond and in transitu. The new regu.
lations, like those regulating tobacco
and whiskey, seem to give great dis.
satisfaction.
Louis V. Bogy, who was rejected
by the Senate as Commissioner of In.
dian affairs, and afterwards appointed
Indian agent by Secretary Browning
spends good deal OF time with the
President now, and is considered one Of
the prominent members of the kictchen
cabinet.
The statement that the Government
is being consulted relative to the post
ponement of the trial OF Jefferson Davis
fro m November is without foundation.
The question is left solely with the court
to decide. The Attorney General has
not even been conferred with as to addi-
tional counsel for the Government.
AT the instance of Gen. Grant, all
the department commanders who have
not done so already, will issue orders
requiring all persons who should have
taken the parole oath at the close of the
war, but did not do so because they
were out of the country, and have since
returned, to come forward and take it at
once.
In the conflict of authority in Phila.
delphia, between the Navy Department
and the State Court, relative to disobey-
ing the writ Of habeas corpus on behalf
of the enlisted minor, the Secretary of
the Navy has issued an official opinion
for disregarding the civil process. He
states that the Supreme Court has re-
peatedly decided that the State Court has
no jurisdiction in the premises.
ELECTION NEws.-The official returns
of the late election in Tennessee show a
total vote of 96,113, divided as follows
William G. Brownlow, 500; Emerson
Etheridge 22,547. Brownlow's major
ity, 5l,1l9.
The Council chosen at the election
in c colorado in Aug. will stand: Demo-
crat, Z; Republicans 6. The House will
stand Republicans, IA; Democrats, II.
The State question entered largely into
the contest, and the anti-State men have
MAORI ties in both branches of the Legis-
lature.
-Four State elections will occur on
the 8th of October, to wit: in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. Iowa
has full ticket of State officers to elect,
and Ohio is to elect a Governor and
Congressman, but in the other States
subordinate officers only are to be
ell ected; one Congressman, we think, to
fill vacancy, in Pennsylvania.
The latest returns from Louisiana
indicate that majority of registered
voters voted at the recent election, and
that the Convention is therefore or
dered. In New Orleans the vote was
very light, but more general In the
country parishes.
