Removal of maximiIian,s Body not
Allowed.
Information received here yesterday
from what is regarded as trustworthy
source. is to the effect that by a decree of
the Juarez Government, Macmillan was
shot on the 18th inst, at o'clock A. NJ,
and that the friends of Maximilian asked
the privilege of removing his body for the
purpose OF sending it to Europe, but the
request was refused.
Telegram from General Sheridan.
General Grant also received private tel
egram from Gen. Sheridan last night, with
| substantially the same statement.
1t is believed that Juarez, reluctantly
consented to the execution of MaXimilian.
When the messenger bearing dispatches
from our Government relative to sparing
the life of Maximilian delivered his pack
ages TO Juarez, the latter informed him
that he was disposed to spare the life of
| Macmillan, but the pressure from Mexican
leaders and the people for his execution
was so great that it would be almost i'm
possible to resist it.
Extra Cabinet Session.
The Tribune's Washington special says
An extra session of the Cabinet is expect
ed to be held tomorrow. to resume the con-
sideration of Attorney General'Stanbery's
opinion on the power of the military COM
manders. At the previous meeting of the
Cabinet no final determination of the
questions was arrived at, as has been stated
in dispatches; nor is it true that Mr.. Stan
ton was refused permission to record his
views in the proceedings, nor has he insist
| ed on the proceedings being promulgated.
1t is understood, however, that publicity
will be given to the action of the Cabinet
on the last opinion, as on the first opinion
of Mr.. Stanbery, and the proceedings
may appear in the associated press reports
on Tuesday or Wednesday next.
Nominations to the Senate.
! Quite a number of nominations will be
sent by the President to the Senate, should
there be quorum in Congress this week.
| Among these are the nominations of minis
ters to Austria, Prussia, Mexico and Hayti,
Consul General to Havana, commissioner
of agriculture and several collectors and
assessors of the revenue and post masters.
1t is quite certain that Mr.. Raymond will
be renominated for Austria. Mr.. Ban
croft's nomination will of course be sent in
for the Prussian mission, and probably
Gen. Thomas Kirby Smith for Consul to
| Havana.
- Return of l.. D. Campbell.
The Hon. L. D. Campbell, late United
States Minister to Mexico, arrived here last
night and had an interview with the As
sistant Secretary of State. 1t appears that
Mr.. Campbell had peremptory orders from
Mr.. Seward to remain in New Orleans and
no orders to go to Mexico in search of
| President JuareZ were received by him un-
| til the first of the present month.
The instructions then given him were to
proceed to Mexico and take his station near
President JuareZ. but no method of con-
veyance was indicated by which he could
get there. Mr.. Campbell, it seems, was ill
with an attack of fever when these instruc-
tions reached him. He at once set about
procuring vessel for the journey, but was
unable to obtain any.
Finally there was no manner of trans
portation, he telegraphed the Department
ito have vessel assigned for his use,
| which request was refused. AS his order
was emphatic to join the Mexican fleet,
and he found it impossible to do so except
by journeying over land with blanket
and haversack, he telegraphed to Mr.. Sew
ard rendering his resignation, which was
accepted, and another Minister appointed.
| The Treasury.
The Tribune's special says: The usual
Treasury statements for July first will be
omitted, and no exhibit made till August
first, as the fiscal year closes June 30. There
| is a decrease in the aggregate receipts for
the fiscal year of forty million dollars.

Judiciary committee on the impeachment
matter. The four Republicans in favor of

The Indian War.
The Tribune's special says: There are
no signs of a speedy end to the Indian war.
Five thousand Sioux forbid white men to
enter their country, the Utes threaten new
disturbances, and it is reported that Gen.
Custar had been overpowered and killed.
The July Session. He-
| WASHINGTON, July $50 far only 80
members of both Houses of Congress have
