Special Washington dispatches say the Gov

told Gen. Castelman that he must not attempt
to compel Macmillan to leave Mexico, nor
must he bring away any more French troops
than wanted to leave.
1t is reported that the portfolio of the War
Department has been rendered to Senator
Cowan. ~
The House Post Office Committee are of the
opinion that the construction of telegraph lines
along post routes, to be under the control of
the Postmaster General, is not only practical
bic. but can be made serviceable and useful in
connection with the postal service. The Post
master General contends that it can be made
to produce considerable revenue to the Gov
eminent. He is opposed to buying the old lines,
but in favor of constructing new ones.
Senator Cowan says it is by no means GER
tain that he will accept the Austrian mission.
The whole Pennsylvania delegation have sent
protest to the Senate against his confrma-
ton.

the gradual substitution of legal tender Treas
ury notes for National Bank notes is much
