the Treasury Department, published this
morning relative to conversion, is likely to
lead to Misrepresentation, it is deemed prop.
er to say that 7-30 notes, bearing date OF

to the Treasury Department for conversion.
The June issues are not yet convertible.
THE REPORTED DISASTER TO GEN. GUSTAV
Neither at the headquarters of the army
nor at the Indian Bureau has any infOrma-
ton been received, which shows the truth
of the reports of the disaster to General
Gustav by the Indians.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The result of to-
days proceedings in Congress IS regarded
as q defeat OF the purpose of Mr.. Sumner
and other congressman who desired to go
into general legislation and especially to
pass laws regulating suffrage IN all the
States, adopt articles of impeachment OF
the President, and others of the agitatiDg
measures suggested by them as necessary.
1t is now confidently believed that Con
gress will adjourn, at latest, by the goth in
slant. The report of Messrs. Boutwell,,
Williams, Thomas and Lawrence, in favor
of impeachment, is already in type, and
those gentlemen expect to get their argu-
ment before the House before the close OF
the session, notwithstanding the apparent
final determination of Congressman to con-
fine themselves exclusively to the consid-
Grafton of a supplementary act on recon
struction.
1t is regarded as certain that the House
will admit to their seats all the Kentucky
delegation save Mr.. Young, whose seat Is
contested by Mr.. Mckee.
The committee of both Houses appointed
