New Orleans special says: The yellow
fever has appeared in this city.
The accident on the Jackson railway

No casualty is reported.
A severe storm of wind and rain WIS.,

tinued until this afternoon.
The Tribune's Galveston special says
The opinion of Attorney General Stan,
berry is already bringing forth evil
fruit. The spirit of revolt is strength
ening. Mayor Haviland, who was re-
moved for rebel proclivities. refuses to
recognize the military authority.
The unearthing of an immense vii
lainy has begun here. During the war
the rebel Legislature ordered a sweep,
ing and complete cOnfscation OF all
property, real and personal, held by
ioyal men. The act was enforced with
remorseless vigor. Property valued at
more than sixty millions was seized and
sold.
Judge Devine, just pardoned by Pres
ident johnson, docreed more than 3OOO
sales. The rebel records are imperfect
and blind, and do not show the names
and the purchasers. Immense sums
were distracted by the receiver. The
considerations of Cromwell i'll Ireland dc
not equal this in extent and cruelty.
General Griffin is urged to probe this

The Tribuue's special says: Letters
and kilograms have been received by
the Union Congressional Executive
Committee from enough members OF
Congress to insure q quorum III July, so
a short summer session is fixed fact.
A number of the Republican members
state that they will como on condition
that the session shall not last over two
or three weeks at the farthest. They
do not wish to proceed with the regular
business of Congress, but merely to fix
definitely the reconstruction act, so
that President Johnson and Mr.. STAN
berry will he prevented hereafter from
giving any more trouble and hindcring
reconstruction.
1t is evident, also, from the tone OF
the other letters received, that an at
tempt will be made TO have Speaker
Colfax announce the committees imme-
diately, so Us to he able to 90 right to
work. This plan is favored by those
anxious to impeach the President, and
by others who are opposed to Secretary
McCulloch's present financial policy,
especially in respect to the present sys-
tenn of National Banks. Those who are
in favor of long session say that If
once quorum is obtained, the session
will be kept up long enough to settle
definitely the question of impeachment.
jeff. Thompson has written letter
endorsing the sentiments of General
Longstreet concerning reconstruction.
General Longstreet says he did not in
tend to ally himself with the Radical
party, but only gave what he thought
was the best advice to his Southern
brethren in his recent letter.
The Herald special says: George IL.
Pendleton entertained Schuyler COlfax
and two or three other Radicals at his
residence near Cincinnati OH Saturday.
The Herald's special says: A secret
society has been started i'll Memphis,
Tenn, which il said to be one of many
hundreds existing throughout the State
among the colored population. The or
ganization is ostensibiy for benevolent
purposes, hut in one of its degrees it re-
guires the initiated colOred men to take
a fearful oath to murder those who
abandon its ranks and oppose Brown
lowism.
