General Mcade's Report.

General Mcade's Report.
An imperfect abstract Of the report of General
Meade on the Ashburn murder case, the tendency
of which will be to give incorrect idea of the
subject, has been given out from the White House
to the Democratic press.
As General Meade has received the authority he
demanded the entire official history of the affair
will be published, together with the evidence taken
murderers. 1t will show that there doubt
of the guilt of the accused persons that the murder
was cold-blooded and unprovoked attempt to put
out of the way fearless political antagonist and
that the sympathy of the people of Columbia with
justice were almost insuperable

The September Session.
The pressure for a September session of Con-
gress is Increasing and strongly urged by south
subject until the result Of the Maine election shall
have been ascertained If the Republicans carry
the State by increased majority indicative of
General Grants election by the northern States
without the aid of southern electoral votes, there
will be no extra session. strong point of the ad-
vocates of extra session is the probability that
when President johnson is relieved from the fears
of Congressional interference he viii adopt mea-
that will throw the doubtful States into the
hands of the Democracy. Leading Republicans
also apprehend that if the President is left
checked by Congress he may find means to remove
Commissioner Rollins, and employ a substitute who
will use the internal revenue patronage against the
Republicans.

The Navy Department.
Commander Je1fries, commanding the Swatara,
reports to the Department, under date of Lisbon,
April 2Sth the details of cruise down the coast OF
Africa. He sailed from Toulon February 9Th,
February 2Sth. He there called upon the Presi-
dent, and found evidences of the success of the at
tempt to plant civilization in Africa. He believes
the great want is capital, while another has been
that the greater part of the emigrants have not
been agricultural Iaborers. Too many are from the
northern cities, and OF mixed blood and unable to
stand the climate. They resort to trading with the
natives for support. For this reason Liberia does
not raise sufficient suitable food to support the i'm
migrant population, and actually imports from the
United States The southern plantation laborers
succeed well.
Commander Jeffries thinks that if any impression
is to be made on Africa, it will be through this CO.
lony, which seems to be based on Chrstianizng
and moralzing principles, while all the other esta
blishments are based on trade in rum, gunpowder
and muskets. He states that he reached Lisbon on
April Goth. During the cruise he had diligently
sought information from all accessible sources
with reference to American interests, and found
our trade and interests in satisfactory state He
reports that the slave trade is entirely suspended
