The Virginia delegation have had an inter
view with General Grant on the subject OF
their mission here, and they express them
selves as much grati6ed with his views on re-
construction. He jocosely told them that they

would have forced all the Conservatives into
the Radical ranks before this.
The yirginin Conservative Committee have

of the Senate relative to reconstruction IN their

dsy, and viii most likely be green velvet to-
morrow.

day authorizing executive departments to pay
to officers and employees OF the United States
who failed to take the oath prescribed by
act Of July 2, 1852, such sums of money as
ms be found due them by accounting officers
of the Treasury for services actually rendered,
provided that such oath was subsequently
taken or be now taken, except in cases where

fore the passage Of the said act, in which event
the oath may be waived.
For ball costumes new material Las been
introduced which is destined to come much in
vogue. II is tulle, light straw color, and in
tended to exactly match with blonde hair. La-
dies possessing this golden treasure may have
their dresses made OF this zephyr-like material.
The underskirt should be Of straw-colored silk,
over which must be two skirts of blonde tulle,
long, full, and separate from each other. The
corsage must be made low and trimmed with
putting OF tulle and lace Of the same color; the
sleeves composed of one narrow putting; around
the skirt, extending from the corsage in front
to hallway down the tram, garland composed
of field-daises lily Of the valley and wheat; or
naments Of gold around the neck, wrists, and
in the hair.
The defeat Of the joint resolution propo-
sing aprotectorate over the Republics Of Hayti
and San Domingo is said to have boen owing
to the fact that the circumstances surrounding
the proposition were Iot understood by the
House, and the author OF tine resolution had
no opportunity allowed HIM to explain them.
It is understood that the Secretary OF State
will now proceed to conclude conventions with
these republics, and thus bring the PROPOSE
ton for protectorato before Congress in
another shape, as this can be accomplished by
treaty stlpulations subject to the approval of
the Senate. 1t is understood that General
Grant favors protectorate, not only over the
republics named, but also over Mexico at q
proper time-that is, after the Mexican mas
ses have ceased to believe that they have
whipped France, England and the United
States combined.
