TO.DAY's DISPATCHES,
Washington News,

Eashington, March 6.--The President
has decided to nominate Mr.. Bancroft as
Minister to the new German Empire under
the law just passed. Judge Orth, ex-Con-
gresham, was assured that he would re-
ceive this position, but was in turn rendered
the mission to Brazil, which Mr. Blow, of
Missouri, has just resigned and which Mr..
Orth promptly declined, and left at once
for his home in Indiana.
Hon. George II. Pendleton, of Ohio, was
on the floor OF the House after it adjourned
yesterday, and was warmly welcomed by
