WASHINGTON.
Expected Resignation OF General
Pleasanton.

New YORK, July ia Washington
dispatch 10 the Times says: Commis-
sioner Pleasanton has not yet been re-
moved, consequently no successor has
been appointed. While there is reason
to expect the resignation OF Commis-
sioner Pleasanton, voluntarily or other
wise, within few days, it is certain
that it has not been rendered yet. In
the event Of his being removed, if q
change is to be made, and he does not
resign of his own accord, his resigna-
ton would probably be asked by the
President. Should he not respond to
such request, then it would be time
to talk about bis removal. But his
resignation has not been asked as yet,
and so the announcement Of his success
sor must be premature and unauthor-
lied.
Not Expected TO Recover.
A Washington dispatch to the 7ri-
J,me says: Mr.. Mccartney, the default
ing clerk of the Postoffice Department,
was removed from the Insane Asylum
to his residence to-day. His health is
rapidly failing and his friends enter
tain no hopes Of his recovery.

until further orders. 1t has been de-
cided not to send her with cargo OF

PleasantOn's Success0r-Jay Cooke
and the Loan.
Secretary Boutwell, says that if there
is any foundation for the dispatch to the
New York Tribune, stating that General
Pleasanton' successor mas been appoint
ed, he does not know it.
He says there is no truth in the re-
port that Jay Cooke has renewed his
proposition to take the remainder OF the
new five per cent. bonds Mr. Cooke
is expected here in a few days, when he
may make the same proposition.
The Paper Contracts.
The history OF the letting OF the pa.
per contracts for the beer and tobacco
stamps to the Hudson Paper Company,
shows to greater extent than has been
heretofore shown, that Secretary Bout.
well made distinctions on it against
General Pleasanton that he did not
make against any OF the other Bureau
officers.
The Steamboat Inspectors.
The Board Of Supervising Steamboat
Inspectors adjourned to-day. Their
report will probably be ready by Thurs
day and presented to Secretary Bout
we'll for his supervision.
The Work on Immigration.
The demand for the work on immi-
grafton prepared by the Statistic Bureau
of the Treasury, in this country and
in Europe, is so great that the supply

today from Philadelphia calls on the
Public Printer for three thousand copies
OF it, as the Treasury is unable TO fur
nish any more.

penalties should be remitted in the col.
lection OF taxes assessed under the in
structions of special order No. 100.

No subscriptions to the new loan
have been reported to-day.

The indications are that the govern

not sent hv the Washington correspon.
