sioners attend the reception given by

honor. They.have come here to pur-
chase steamers, arms, machines and
tools.

| by Judge Underwood next week, the
President will order his liberation.
Representative Ashley and .Covode
have come here to urge the Judiciary
Committee to report in favor of the i'm
parchment of the President, in which
case there will be an extra session Of the
Senate in July.
Chief Justice Chase sees nothing in
the condition of Virginia under the Mill
tary Reconstruction Law to warrant him
in departing from his former course in
declining to preside at the trial Of jeff.
Davis. He will hold no Court in the
South until civil authority so far be es-
tablished as to cease being dependent on
military power.
Cossion of Russinn-America.
New YORK, May 3.-The Worlds St.
Petersburg letter says the news of the
cession Of Russian America created quite
a sensation. The negotiations have been
going on since last summer, but only
Gortschakorff and n other Minister
were aware Of them. So complete was
the sscresy that only a few months ago
the concession to the Russo-American
| Company was renewed for twenty years.
The Minister Of Finance was so com
pletely in the dark that only the week
before the news became known he au-
thorized the company to receive a loan
| from the Bank Of Russia Of a million
roubles, to be paid in fourteen years.
The cession BY no means occasioned I'M
| mixed satisfaction. The Russo-Ameri-
can Company appears to be the only
gamer by the transaction, its shares
having risen from so to $50 roubles
above par value.

WASHINGTON, May A state dinner
| was given this evening to the Japanese
| ambassadors. Members OF the Cabinet
and their families were admitted to meet
them after dinner.
Seward held a reception for members
Of the Diplomatic corps. The wife Of
President Juarez being in Washington,
| sojourning at the Mexican Legation, was
invited to his reception. 1t is said her
appearance on this occasion elected as
much attention as the Japanese Embas-
sailors themselves, the actual circum-
stances Of Mexico and the personages
attending the reception being such ms
to make her presence on the occasion
suggestive Of grave consideration TO
European minds especially.
The Justices of the Supreme Court
met to-day to finally approve the rules
Of practice and procedure in Bankruptcy.
