INCORRECT.
The statement that the San Domingo report
is being sent out from the executive mansion,
implying that general distribution is made of
the document, is incorrect. The president has
mailed only one copy to correspondent who
asked for it, while Gen. Babcock, who considers
that the report relieves him from the former i'm
putations upon his character, has supplied a few
copies 10 personal friends.
EUROPEAN BANKERS.
Clews, Habichts & Co.. London, have been ap-
pointed bankers for the state department in
Europe in place of Barring Brothers.
Thirty years ago, after the negotiation of the
AshburtOn treaty, the agency was taken from
the Bank of England which had held the office
ever since the establishment of American indie
pendence, aud given to the house of Barring,
Brothers & Co., in compliment to Lord Ashbuf-
ton, who was Il member of that firm. A change
i'll the agency is influenced by desire on the
part of our government to recognize the services
of Henry Clews & Co., New YORK, in behalf of the
governments financial measures, in part, and
TO reward its own citizens by preference over
foreign competitors, when its own interests will
be equally well served. The details were ar
ranged to-day.
KUKLUX,
Senator Scott, chairman of the kukluX COM
mittee, had an interview with the president, and
submitted proposition, which was fully dis
cussed, setting forth, briefly, the number OF acts
of unlawful violence that have been perpetrated
within the past few months in variOns counties
OF South Carolina.
He suggested to the president the propriety of
issuing a proclamation, under the kukluX act
preliminary to proclamation of martial law in
York and Spaulding counties. The president,
agreed to the suggestion, and the proclamation
preliminary to the declaration of martial law
may soon be expected.
