General,
WASHINGTON, Juno lS.-lt is al
most certain that the acts of Dis
trict Commanders, displacing State
officers, will be reversed and tho
powers of provisional governments
be restored, and that officers of pro.
visional governments hereafter will
be removed only by court martial or
act of Congress, This is tho dccis-
ion of the Cabinet, Stanton only dis
senting by silence. The probable
resignation of District Commanders
under these reversals and restraints
was discussed, and such action was
apprehcndcd and deplored. The
point was made, however, that these
District Commanders were soldiers
on duty, and that however unpleas-
ant the duty, thoy cannot abandon
their posts.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-Barncy
Aarod won the fight in sixty-seven
rounds. Fight desperate. Golfers
face jellied.
AcoUA CREEK, June 13.-The
prize fight party arrived at seven
o'clock, and the ring erected on
hill near the river. Three thou
sand people in the ampitheatre.-
Outrageous conduct on the boat
coming down this evening. Rob
berries, breaking into state-rooms &c.
A number of persons were robbed.
VIM. McMullcn referee.
The fight lasted one hour and
fifty minutes. Sixty-seven rounds
were fought in q most desperate
manner by Aaron. Golfers stood
on the defensive playing the drop
game. He came up boldly until
time was called for the sixty eighth
reund, when his strength failed.
Immediately after the ascent OF
Golfers spunge, Aaron tainted in
the ring, and was laid side by side
by side with Collier. Aaron had
three ribs broben on the fourth be-
fore the last round.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-Net rev.
enue receipts $4,000; total GUS
toms receipts from LIST to Sth nearly
100000. -.
To-day's Intelligencer, which is
now regarded as the Executive Or
gan, has the following: awe have
authority for the statement that at
very recent consultation of the
Cabinet it was decided that the
military officers in command Of the
five districts into which the ten I'M
represented Southern States were
divided have no power to remove
civil officers deriving their authori-
ty from the State Governments as
now organized. The question we
understand, therefore, the Cabinet
had more immediate reference to.
was the removal of the Governor
and other civil officers of the State
of Louisiana. by Gen. Sheridan, but,
of course, will apply to the action of
the other four commanders.
No doubt the forthcoming opinion
of the Attorney General, in accord
ance with the reasoning Of which it
is understood the decision referred
to was arrived at, will fully justify
the legality and propriety of this
determination. 1t need scarcely be
suggested that the issuing of orders
replacing the deposed officers, which
may become necessary as a conse-
quence of this decision Of the Gov
ernment, would be no good ground
for application on the part of Gen
eral Sheridan to be relieved from
the position which he now holds,
much less would it warrant the in
ference that the Administration
contemplates or desires his removal
for his error.
We feel authorized to say that the
spcculations of sensation journals
upon this point, however they may
be attempted to be supported by
imagined political maneuvres on the
part of either the friends or enemies
Of the Generals, they are wholly
without foundation.
The Jury for Surratt's trial is
progressing. The pannel will most
probably be completed to-day.
