place Of Judge spaldlng, of the Cleveland
district.
Tho Commissioners appointed 10 codiiy
the laws Of the United States, consisting OF
Judge johnson. Judge James, and Caleb
Cushing. are making as rapid progress with
the work as its nature will admit. Judge
johnson has condensed the twenty-one sep.
arate acts, forming tho patent laws into
nineteen pages, OF tho revised statutes, and
the eight regarding copyrights, in nve pages
| The work Is highly praised for its clearness
and the total elimInation of synonymous
and ambiguous expressions. Fully two
thtrbs OF the laws now published on the sub.
tects were found to conflict with each other
or to be in part repealed, or to be supertiuous.
Judge James has carefully revised the mill
tary laws and rewritten them in about half
the space they occupied before. The arti-
cles of war have been Te-arransed and some
articles stricken out, so as TO change the
number throughout. Article q, which gives
power to all Officers ofwhat condItionsoever
TO quell trays and to order superior Officers
into arrest II need be, Is 60 changed as to in
sert the words, "ard non.comm ixioned off,
cen" In place of the words, {" of what condi-
uon soever." That change Is exciting gem
eral commentIn military circles, but the au-
thoritIes appear to sustain the view taken
by Judge James.
-Advtces received at the War Department
this week from Tennessee lead to the belief
in military circles that there will not, for the
present, at least, be any serious trouble in
that State. The publication OF Gen. Thom-
as' report OF ten days ago, warned the mall
contents that they were watched and would
be sharply dealt with II occasion offered, and
1t is thought they are wise enough, m spite
OF their TebeIlious procltvltieS, 10 heed this
warning. 1t seems probable. therefore, that
Governor Brownlow will not need to call on
the military for aid. It Is known, however.
that Gen. Thomas has not omitted any nee.
essary measures Of precautIon, and he can
respond at once II help is required.
Tho election for Congressman, In Louis.

Gen. Hancock, playing into the hands OF
those Who want the Constitution defeated,
ordered It itdinerently at INST; but Gen. Grant,
as soon as he saw the oncial order, wrote
sHA4N NSSAAG4 uLbSuLIOH 10 Tue
guage OF the Reconstruction acts, and thus
Indirectly intimated what his duty was In
the premises. General Hancock thereupon
changed his order. and directed that the elec-
tions should ali be held at the same time as
they are in the other States in process Of re-
construction.

for postponement and two against It. 30
