officials Of the Freedmen's Bureau will
be presented TO the President during this

remove Gen. Howard.
Hon. E. IS. washburne, NJ. c., from
Illinois, has arrived at Washington
direct from Europe, where he has been
for his health for the past five months.
He is much improved, though not
altogether recovered. He is the guest at

well known, he has been for years an in
innate friend.
Six clerks OF the freedmen's bureau
have been relieved and transferred to
duty elsewhere. The discontinuance of

leaves the bureau bnt little to do but to
look after the freedmen's schools.

1t Is believe that the parties will be able
to agree upon the selection of a reserva.
tion for the various tribes on the plains.
The prospect for such an arrangement is
reported as very hattering at the capital.
1t is semi officially announced at
the capital that the President has no in

his being relieved, because of his resist

against the process OF Chief Justice
Chase.
