New YORK. July 2.-The Herald's Bos-
favors Grant for the next President, and
believes the Southern States will give hall
their votes TO the Republicans, and that
that party will win the next election. He
also believes that the July session will do
nothing beyond passing an amendatory
act
The Herald's Washington special says
Gen. Sheridan's letter, giving reasons why
he closed the Louisiana registration, has
not reached the President. It is said Gen.
Sheridan has violated army regulations by
publishing his orders, and thus rendering
himself liable to rebuke.
No official information has been received
of the defeat and death of Gen. Custar.
The Tribune's special says Mr. Greeley
in his testimony before the Judiciary Com
mittee yesterday, said he had no commune
cation with the President or members of
his cabinet concerning the trial or release
of Mr.. Davis he had conversation with
Mr.. Speed about the case in the spring of
1865; Mr.. Shea, counsel for Mr.. Davis,
was the only other person present; the OBJ
ject of Shea was to learn if the government
would resist application for trial; Mr..
Speed was non-committal, and gave no in
formation what the government would do !;
had no communication whatever with the
President the subject at the time he went
to Richmond, he had no knowledge what
the government would do it was a sugges
tion of Mr., Shea, who is an old friend, that
hebecame bondsman ; no government Off
Ger solicited him to become bail had no
communication with Davis on he subject
there was hubbub against his going bail
Senators Wade and Chandler advised
against it; they thought it would be bad
policy; believed they thought it would
have a bad effect on the Republican par
ty; did not tell him that it was not par
ty question to bail Davis, he having been
imprisoned so that, in the first place, |
was desirous of bringing him to trial the
first year; | thought we could compel the
government TO bring him to trial by writ
of habeas corpus; finally, l thought the
time for a trial, to any government pur-
pose, had passed did net 90 bail for
him with a view of never having him
tried wished him tried if government
ever wished to try him; if he had any
thing to do with the assassination, or pois-
oning, or starving prisoners wished him
tried hear of no facts to justify either Of
these charges.
The Tribune's special says: The indi-
cations in the best informed circles to-
night point to a substantial accord between
the diverse opponents of coniscation
policy and TO the passage of an explana-
tory bill, supplying all the defects Of the
reconstruction act, and placing beyond
question the power of the military COM
manders to remove civil officers who OBJ
struct the law and outrage Justice. Ii is
believed that such bill can be agreed upon
as will be satisfactory to the majority in
Congress, and yet will not be opposed
by the Administration.
-Four mombers of the Judiciary Com
mittee, Messrs. Boutwell,, Williams, Law
renee and Tomas, are preparing a report
on the impeachment investigation to pre-
sent to Congress at Its coming session The
report will be ready for presentation in
about a week. Those members of the
committee are Of the opinion that the
evidence taken by the committee is suffi-
cient TO warrant the Impeachment Of the
President, and theix report win urge upon
Congress to take q necssarg steps to ,ni-
peach the President II is not the intention
of these members to push this matter al the
July session, but they will ask for session
in October for the purpose, and this may
lead to trouble in the coming session. 1t
is expected that Messrs. Wilson, Wood
bridge and Curchill will make a report
merely censuring the President.

koyar, Turkish provinces. A dictator has
