He declares that under similar circumstances he would repeat his orders and his acts, and complains that the Court was composed of officers four of waom were of rank inferior to his own, and oue of whom was & Uommissary whom he Rad ceu- sured for corruption. Money Dug Nerraska —The Commissioner of the General Land Office has caused «0 ac- counttobe stated between the United States and State of Nebraska, for the five por ceut. fund accruing to that State on the net pro- ceeds of the sales of the public lands withiu ber limits, and finds that the balance due the said Siate on December sist, 1-66, amounted to } $9,428. THE Prerication or THE Lerran List — The Postmaster General in view of the fact that so few of the advertised letters are deliver- ed, ad decided that from and after January Ist, 1865, no payment wiil be made for inser!- ing the lists, Provided, “nny puplisher of a newspaper can be found willing to do the work without charge.

GexRual GRANT ON THE RECENT RE- MOVALS.—It is among the ov dils that General Grant earnestly objected to the removal of Geheral Pope as commander of the Third Military District, and that several + private” letters relating to the removal passed between the President and Geueral Grant. Tt has been stated that General Grant strongly urged the remoyal of General Ord, Commander of ihe Fourth District on the ground of dissatisfaction with the conduct of General Q. since he ha been in command of tha: district. There is no foundation for this rumor, we bave reason to believe. The removal of Generai U. was made at his own request, and General Grant made no obj-ction thereto CoxsorparEy LoaN bas prepared a bili, to be introduced next ‘Weel in the Senate, providing for a consol- idated Joan of 3% per cent. interest, payanle in gold, and for the repeal of the limit of three dundrea million as the circulation of the ua- tional bank currency, so as to make the bank- Ing business as free as other business. GENERAL SHERMAN Will remain here nati about the midale of next month, for the pur- pose of getting ap his report of the Indian peace commission. He says the accounts of the Indian war have peen greatly exagger- ated. The war was principally fonght im the Rewspapers and in Congress, and the cost of the real war in the West was very much less than bas been represented. INCREASE AND REDUCTION OF SALARIES.— The Postmaster General is now having a re- Vision of the affairs in a large number of Pos- Offices throughout the country made, it being the time for the settlement of the serai-ananal Sccounts of the postmasters with the Depart- megt. In many offices the business nas great- Jy increased, which being shown to the satis- faction of the Department. the salaries of post- Masters at such offices will be increased, In other offices where the business has decreased, corresponding reduction will be made in the salary of postmasters.

General Mende, it is stated, is selected to succeed (Fen- eral Pope upon the belief that the former wil! execute the reconstruction laws to the letter, and at tbe same time in such manner as to give to none just canse for complaint of partial ex- ercise of the powers conferred upon district commanders. General Ord not long since req nested tha: he might be relieved from command of the fourth district.
