the West was closed at the Postoffice
Department today, with the Pittsburgh
and Connellsville Railroad Company.
This is new route, which will be
formally opened on Monday next as
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, and with the Point OF Rocks road
will considerably reduce the time be-
tween Washington and the West.
Ku.Klux Evidence.
1t is now regarded as certain that
evidence concerning the Ku-Klux will
be brought in by the South after the hot
weather is over. The testimony al
ready taken seems to have decided that
the original plan of rowing sub-commit.
tees shall be carried out, Mr. Adams,
formerly Of Massachusetts,, and now of
Mississippi, testified today to the good
order prevailing in that State.
Mr. Tiebels, of South Carolina, was
before the committee and showed up
the government of that State, which he
made out to be very bad. Judge Reaves,
Of Alabama, and Mr.. Suber, of South
Carolina, will be examined tomorrow.
Judge Besteud is also here to appear
before the committee General Forrest
arrived last night and Mosby arrived
to-day, both will be examined. 1t is
probable that plan Of using the mill
tary more effectually to prevent out
RACES will be arranged at some time not
very distant, though the details may
not be made public till the plan is car
riei into execution.
The COrean Expedition-The Guer-
riere Ordered TO Join the Fleet.
Al the time Admiral Rodgers started
in the Corean expedition only portion
of the fleet under his command was
available for that purpose. His orders
from the Government, however, contem-
plate tEe employment OF all the forces
at his disposal for the purpose
OF the expedition. The Secretary
of the Navy undoubtedly considers
the fleet now under command OF Admi-
raj Rodgers insufficient to meet the
latter developments Of the Corean ques-
ton, and Yesterday orders were trans
mitted to Captain Thomas A. Stevens,
commanding the United States ship
Guerriere for that ship to join the
Asiatic fleet without delay. The Guer-
riere is a second rate propeller of 2490
tons, carrying twenty one guns, and
when last heard from was at Alexandra,
Egypt
In view of the necessity Of her early
arrival in Corean waters the Guerrero
will doubtless pass through the Suez
canal. 1t is understood that orders
have been issued to other vessels to
proceed Eastward and report TO Ad-
miral Rodgers This government is
fully determined on vindicating the
rights Of American citizens in the East,
and il possible, put an end TO the out
RACES committed on American seamen
by the inhabitants Of Corea. The
Corean question assumes additional i'm
portance from the fact that both the
English and Prussian governments
have ordered their ministers to remain
in this country till further advices are
received regarding the action OF Ad.
miral Rodgers. Both Sir Edward
Thornton and Baron Gerolt had en-
gagged passage and together with their
families expected to sail for Europe this
week.
General PIeaSanton not TO Resign.
The rumors put in circulation from
this city in relation to the resignation
of General Pleasanton are without the
least foundation as are also the reports
of his being concerned in the sale TO
Commodore Vanderbilt of his opinion
on the New York Central dividend
question. Both rumors are put in cir
culation by parties desirous OF marring
the cordial relations existing between
the President and General Pleasanton.
1t is safe to say that General P!easan-
ton is regarded BY his superlors as the
very best officer that has ever admins
tered the affairs of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. ana is likely TO remain at the
head Of that Bureau so long as he desires
the position.

United States Court Of Claims over two

rejected by this court, and are deslrous
of testing such claims before the South
ern Claim. Commission, are entitled to

evidence taken before the Court OF
Claims in their respective cases.
