WASHINGTON, March 1.-The senate confirmed J. J. Knox, re- nominated controller of the cur rency, also Wm. Sherman asst treasurer at San Francisco. Owing to pressure of applications for of 1 flee at the White House and de partments, several secretaries are
 already exhausted by the labor forced upon them. Democrats and conservatives of Louisiana and South Carolina are opposed 10 new Egubernat0rial elections, and the
 President will not encourage such elections unless both parties favor the proposition. South Carolina republicans, headed by senator Patterson have presented to the ! President their views on new state election: their proposition suggests that Chamberlain be re cOgnized aS Governor and the le. gislature be allowed to meet with the understanding, that they pass only a registration law aud a law for a new election Chamberlain and Hampton each to select two members of board of canvaSser5 and Gen. Ruger to select fifth the election them to be carried on under Rutgers, order, he tO use military only as guarantee for fair election. There are tO be no public parades of rife cluGs and no political meetings whatever. Alexander Fl. Stephens. has ex-- pressed his, approval oft Presi' dents policy. Judge Mackey says he is authorized to speak for Hampton and 50 say that he would. utterly refuse to agree to new election, as not only was he elect ed, but his title had been confirm ed by the courts. Among reports circulated is one that Pierrepont and Cushing have been recalled from their respective missious in England and Spain. Leading senators and representatives have reluctantly concluded that the~sta- tute concerning subsistence of the army is too vague to justify the President in maintaining the army several months without an appropriation. This Of course means that an extra session is inevitable. Hayes is reported as saying that he had not fully ma tured his opinion on the subject of an extra session of Congress; he was considering the legality and feasibility of borrowing mo- ney for pay of army, on much the same plan as that pursued in In diana by Governor Morton during the war.
 James A. Garfield of Ohio has telegraphed' to Columbus, with drawing his name as senatorial candidate.
 WAsHINGTON,, March l5-Sar- gent says he intends to be candi- date for reelection to the u. ;. Senate from California.

The Spanish Government has finally determined the question of religious toleratiOn. All non confOrmist worship is stricty limi, ted to the interiors of ehapels and cemeteries, so that it shall in nO way attract public attention or be known to any but the persons engaging in it. This is the tOie- ration accorded to gross immorali- ty, and places Protestant worship in the same category. The regula- tiOn Of schools Is even more string ent. No one will be permitted to teach any school unless he is q native Spaniard, aud. shall have academic degrees conferred by d Roman Catholic cullege. This excludes all Protestant teachers from schools of any class, public or private. The regulations will be enfOrced' against the English, Americans and other nations which do- net protect their citizens in foreign lands. They will not be enforced against C er- maths:
