A Post Washington special says:
1t is authoritatively stated that an
order for the withdrawal of troops
from New Orleans will be issued this
week.
The proposition to disband about
four fifths of the regular army and
avoid the necessity of an extra session
of Congress is favorably regarded in
the Cabinet circles and is generally
growing in favor. The question will
PROBABLY be discussed at the Cabinet
meeting Tomorrow. As the Demncra-

ate another dollar for the army with
out attaching unconstitutional restric
tons. it is urged that an extra session
would be useless.

A Journal Washington special says:
The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee here have advices from every
Southern Stale and district in regard to
the coming contest for Speaker. There
is not a sign or probability of u defec-
ton in any quarter, and all allegations
to effect a possible coalition with the
Administration tn secure a Republican
speaker are denied as absolutely I'M
founded. Alexander I'll. Stephens,

announces his intention TO be carried
to the House TO vote for a Speaker, and
the Democrats confidently claim 10

Some Southern Republicans continue
to threaten to bolt the caucus nomina-

into line eventually.

throngs of ofiice-seekers, has begun 10
leave his office before II O'Clock each
day. He saw but few to-day.
