WASHINGTON, June 29.-Gen. Rousseau
will not return to the Pacific coast. It is
understood that Secretary Schofeld will
tender him a new command, which will
embrace one or more of the Southern
States, and headquarters at New Orleans
Probably the Department of the East will
be put at Rousseau's disposal if he pre-
fers it.
The announcement that the President
would issue a general amnesty proclama-
ton on the Fourth of July is premature.
His will is so inclined, bat there are ap.
prehensions it would lead possibly to com
plication, which would be most undesire-
able at this juncture, and even those Eho,
a month ago, urged the issuance of the
proclamation, nov oppose it. The truth
is, the Radicals want only pre-
text to prefer additional impeachment
charges, and this would afford it. Under
these circumstances it is unlikely such
proclamation will be Issued.
The Radicals were much incensed Today
at Butler for the Introduction of the bill
levying tax on the interest on bonds. 1t
was presented by Cobb, Of Wisconsin, but
Butler is the father Of the bantling. Much
excitement was exhibited during the action
on the bill. All Democrats, but Sitgreaves,
Of New Jersey, voted for the resolution,
and the Ways and Means Committee are
instructed 10 report it without delay.
EIGHT HOURS.
The President has signed the bill enfore- (
ing the eight hour law in all the navy words
and other government workshops. Ii takes
immediate effect, and The employees Of the
government printing Office commenced
work under the law to-day. r.E
BUTLER's COMMITTEE.
Butler has summoned several witnesses
before his committee.
The report of the managers will be sub
mitted this week.
Private advices from New York say the
mode of issuing tickets of admission to
Tammany Hall is objectionable to Mr..
Pendleion's friends who are here in great
force. r t . f

WASHINGTON, June 80, 1S68.-Delegales
continue to pour in. They come from the
East, and they come from the West, and
they come the other side of Jordan"
The lalter-that is, those from Dixie-con-
tinue to swell the strength of Andrew
johnson but young Frank Blair's stock
begins to rise. Old Frank gave brilliant
dinner party to-day at Silver Springs.
Several prominent delegates we're present,
and it is understood fhat formidable plan
of action was agreed Oh. 20.
McCulioch and Seward have had addi-
tional sentries placed 10 their vicinity.
They are afraid that somebody will turn
them out of Office.
Letters received here from Tennessee by
the gentlemen connected with the Presi-
dents household, indicate a split among
the Brownlow Radicals The President
himself thinks that by good management
and little help the Democrats may yet be
able to make good fight in Tennessee.
IL is reported that the return Of John c.
Breckenridge has been fastened by the
New York Convention, and that he will
exert himself in favor Of Pendleton from
his retreat in Canada. The report is trace
able to Radical circles.
Smythe, EVarts and Fuller are ali re-
jected. There is talk of Nelson, of Ten
nessee, for Attorney General. He would
stand no show of confirmation. Wisewell
now stands pretty fair chance.
One who has seen rough draft Of the
forthcoming amnesty proclamation de
clares that it is Johnson's master piece. IL
will doubtless be thrown into the proceed
ings at New York as the Presidents greet
ing.
