CONTRADICTION DKPIEDI AN "ALL WOOL"' CIANDIDATE What the People pay Their Mon ey rrior Before the assembling of the 39th Congresi at Washington, in December Jant...tlie hope was entertailied by the great 'body of the people that the trium phant close of the war, the ready acqui escence of the Southern States in meir mires calculated to restore harmony, and the pacific disposition of the North, would bring about the immediate resto ration of the Union, a reduction of the army and navy, and the consideration of measures calculated to put an end to feud and bloodshed, and restore the credit and reduce the expenses of the government. But the 39th Congress de feated the hope of the nation byr a tur• bujent factiousness, manifested on the very first day of its session, when 011 in ferior officer assumed the power to strike • from the roll ,of representatives the members Meet from sovereign States, and carried forward, to the close of its pro ceedings in a series of indefensible and unconstitutional acts, without precedent and without excuse. To merely mean the record is a whole history of villainous usurpation. We give harewith the au thentic doings of one of the most insig nificant, and, therefore, least responsible members of th& Congrrn. It is copied from the Journal, printed by uutharity, and dattrand page are given. It is the history of a member only known in the yeas and nays—who has probably never said a word, except in reply to the call of the clerk—and yet who has deserved such public censure as few men have lived long enough to earn.

It put an effectual gag upon the deliberations of both houses. Free and opal discussion was disallowed ; and the great question of Reconstruction turned over to a secret at chamber ()enclave. The proper functions of both houses were consolidated in the, hands of these select conspirators, and the clear mandate of the Constitution, which declares each Ilium, for itself, the judge of the qualifications of its owe members, was set aside. no traitors were afraid to trust the free votes of their own party without this restraint.
