THE Reconstruction Committee held
an important session Saturday. The
Virginia and Texas question was con-
sidered and it was determined to let
these States severely alone awhile
longer.
SOME verbal differences have been
discovered in the Conference reports
on the Tenure of-oftice bill as submit
ted to the two Houses, and the fact ID
being used to induce the President TO
return the act for correction. Our i'm
preston is, however, that he will sign 1t.
JAMES WADswoRTH, who has been
nominated for Marshal of New York
CITY, is reported to have been tho prin-
cipal contributor in the purchase for
Gen. Grant of the famous painting Of
Farragut before the Mast" Ills APP
poIntment is said to be very displeasing
to New York Republicans.
WHETHER the Tenure-of-of1ice Bill
has been received by General Grant
with satisfaction or disfavor, it is pretty
certain that he has decided what course
to take in regard to appointments and
removals. No less than $50 nomina-
tons were sent to the Senate Friday
most OF them important offices and very
few to fill vacancies.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that g

Provinces to the United States. Enough
has been developed to warrant the be-
efamong some members OF Congress
that if the matter could be reached ir
an official way, proposals would even
tuaIly be made to tho United Sthte
looking toward annexation.

one by one, the lugubrious prophetic

ITIurns out now that Hon. james
l.. Wilson was not offered the position
of counsel to the Pacific Railroad aftel
all. If certain newsmongers will nov
have the goodness to allow Mr.. Wilson
toOuiety retire on his honors, and no
