purpose OF considering the bin intro
duced at the first part OF the session by
Gen. Butler, for the repeal OF the Civil
Tenure Act. 1t is understood that the
cAa.FLaV, Mr.. Wilson, aud other Repub-
licsn mem beIs Of the committee, always
regarded the measure az merely tempo
rary, to restrain the present Incumbent
o. the White House from removing good
and efficient men fOr merely partisan
grounds during the recess Of the Cen
gress. Therefore, the Measure having
accomplished sll its authors desired, the
Committee instructed th5ir chairman TO
report in favor OF lis repeal. IL IL very
doubtful If the committee win be called
this session, and this fact being known
TO many menbsr', Ii is anticipated that
the resolution to repeal or modify the
law will be introduced tomorrow, sud
an attempt to psss it under G suspension
of the rules, and without reference to the
com mmittee.

repeated tale Of rebei inhumgnity, intoI-
era-ce and violeuce. He admitted,
however, that the rebels have been
somewhat subdued, and thst the Ku
hlux Kan have been lees setive since
the election Of Grant, and that the con-
dition OF affairs there is mora satisfsc-
.ory now than it has been at any time
81 CO the close OF the war. Several
msE bsrs Of the coz mittes are rather in
cllned 10 admit Virginia OD the basis OF

demands CT those who are here urging
various schemes, locking principally to
s neE deal Of Offices Ia the State.
THE DECISION IN THE LEGAL TENDER
Case has not yet been considered By the
Justices OF the Supreme Court, and there
is not much probability that the opinion
IA this question Wit be delivered before
four or i've weeks. The Judges of the
Supreme Court held their usual consuita-
