the time the job was completed, Lee invaded

and Antictam, WIS whipped in both engage

tburgn thus miraculous1y escaped destrne-
tiou at the hands Of tho rebels,
and two years later, when thoroughly recovered
from their panic, the men who procured tho
building of the Notifications sought Congress to

was promptly rejected then, but as Senator
Scott has now taken it in hand aud promised his

possibility Of SUCCESS.
SEw ELECTION
The announcement. is made TINT the Carpenter
Butler bill for new election in Louisiana will
be introduced nozt Monday. From this it is
supposed that tile President has concluded to
abide by bis lato changes Of opinion, aB the bill
would hardly bo introduced without assurances

nIcHAnDsoS'8 REponTED RESIGNATION.
While House attachees have been yery indus
trious to-day, as has also Secretary Richardson,
in denying that there is q change in the Treasury
Department contemplated, tho President is
quoted also cs having said that be does not wish
Mr. Richardson to resign. ut least not until the
now per cents were veil out of harms way.
II be said this, it is significant
that he does propose, at somo time. to dispense
with Richardson's services Notwithstanding
these dcnials, there are very strong reasons for
sion the resignation Of the Secretary OF tho
Troasury. Ho may not :ccept it till cer-
tain conditions are fulfilled; anl, on the
other hand, he may accept it within q
month. Many think that ho Solids it so that be
may have difficulty in getting rid Of Richard
son when the time comes. This is stated Oh the
presumption that it WAS understood that Rich
ardson would resign last August, and that be
refused to carry ont the agreement. There ia no
doubt whatever that Delano expects to be- Sec
retary Ut the Treasury.
