Special telegr TO tha Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, November 23.-It appears
that upon the first notice of General Now
er's order removing civil officers in Louisi-
ana the President called General Grants
attention to the matter, and upon that
suggestion the latter directed General
Mower to suspend the order until the arri-
val of General Hancock. It is believed
here that General Hancock will, after the
lapse of few days, request General
Grant to revoke the latter's order forbid
ding the rc1nstating Of the officers removed
by General Sheridan, and therefore pro-
coed to revise the action Of King Philip
by placing Governor Throckmorton and
others again in the positions to which they
were elected by the people, especially in
cases where no proof exists Of their OBJ
structing the enforcement of the recon-
struction law. Officials and influential
men here advise this course, and believe,
by the resolute adoption of it, General
Hancock will make himself strongest be-
fore the people of the country, and proba-
bly, they will elect him President. Indi-
cations favorable to such election are al
ready manifested among leading politicians
here.
The Republican members of Congress
are doubtful of the legality Of the Novem-
Der session, and consequently will pro-
badly not attempt any important legislation
until the December term.
By a close canvass of the House it is
found that forty-three are in favor of i'm
parchment, and the balance are opposed
to it. The majority are, nevertheless, in
favor Of vote Of censure Of the President.

A ROMANCE AND A WEDDING-A BEL
CLAN BARON MARRIES A TREASURY CLERK.
The Baron Henry Van Hayre, who is con-
nected with one Of the most aristocratic
and wealthy families Of Belgium, came
here few years ago as Secretary of Lcga-
ton. He is about thirty years of age, tall
and commanding in appearance, and an ar
dent lover OF poetry and music. About
six months after his arrival he happened
TO pay a visit TO the Treasury DEPARTING mt /.
Miss Camilla Webb was clerk. She was
born in the southern part of Virginia, and
came TO Washington about five years ago.
She was accompanied by her widowed
mother, and though in comparatively poor
circumstances, they were known to some
of the most respectable society here. The
Baron effected an introduction to Miss
Webb. About a year ago he returned
to Europe and travelled extensively over
the Continent. After spending about five
months there he resolved on coming back
to this country, impelled by desire to
express his attachment to Miss Webb,
having failed TO find abroad any more at
tractivc object. Three days ago the
wealthy and aristocratic Baron, accom-
panied by his intended bride, Miss Webb,
and attended by aparty of intimate friends,
proceeded to the Catholic church Of st.
Aloysius and had the nuptial ceremony
performed. The Baron is a Catholic and
his wife an Episcopalian. To-day the
Episcopal ceremony Of marriage was com
pieted in presence of select and fashiona-
bic congregation. The bride, who is about
twenty wears of age, was dressed in pearl
colored silk, and with her wealth of golden
tresscs, bright blonde complexion, and
deicately- chiseiled features, created no
small degree Of admiration. In the eve
ming they left for New York, whence they

ST. LOUIS, November 22.-Prairie fires
still continue to rage in nearly all sections
OF the West. They have been particu-
larly severe in Western and Northern
Missouri and Kansas. Immense amounts
OF property have been destroyed. The
swampS IN Southern Missouri are said to
be mass of fire, and along the Illinois
Central railroad for a distance Of one
hundred miles the prairics are burning
and in Union county, H., the flames ex.
tended into the woods, which are now
burning. No relief is looked for until q
heavy general rain falls, of which there is
no immediate prospect.
