I,lc I'iivins in the A’alley of the Shenandoah,
Vii., and elsewhere, which are for mile, has
boon sent me by a highly respectable firm
in Winchester having charge of them, with a
request to act as their agent hero, from th°
description of the farms, and the character of
the gentlemen who write to mo, I have every
reason to believe there are many great bar-
gains offered.
It is well known that a large portion of
the land in Shenandoah Valley cannot be sur
passed anywhere in tiic Cumberland Valley,
hands can now he bought therj for loss than
one-half tire price they bring in our market;
and certainly it will not take anything like
the other half to make them, in all respects,
as valuable. In a short time the rail road
(suspended during the war) will he in oper
ation, and will afford the same advantages
for a market that the Cumberland Valley
Kail Koad affords here. Frioos must then
rapidly go up.
Those who wish to invest in first quality
of land, and feci that the prices of land in
this Valley arc too high, should certainly
give their attention to this. A list of the
lands can ho seen at my office.

Fire in Philadelphia. — A destructive fire
occurred on Tuesday morning last, in Phila
delphia near the corner of Sixth and Chest
nut streets.
The fire is pretty certainly asscertained to
nave originated in some chemicals in the
second story of No. COT Chestnut street,
which was occupied hy John 11. Simons,
dealer in photographic material's. The build
ing is of X’ictou stono, very largo and costly,
and was one of the ornaments of Chestnut
street. Tho damage consisted in the destruc
tion of this building, of which Hamden’s Ex
press Co., occupied tile roar, in tho deluging
of Messrs. Rockhill & Wilson’s promises next
door and the destruction of its upper part—
numbered fiO.'l and 005 Chestnut street —and
in a little damage to tho extensive paper
warehouse of Charles Magargo it Co., upon
the roar, corner of Sixth and Jayuo streets.
The windows, however, were protected by
iron shutters, and to this tlio preservation of
the pronerty is to ho attributed, Building
No. COT Chestnut street, which is totally de-.
stroked, was recently bought by tho proprie
tors of tho Eoetiiny JlitUclin newspaper. Tho
front basement was occupied hy ll' Ponistan
as alo vaults, and the rear portion hy four
Express Companies for the storage of un
claimed packages.
. No. GOD Chestnut street, occupied in the
basement as a Conert Saloon, and in the up
per stories hy-ClothingStores, Billiard Boom
\'C„ was also considerably damaged.
The total loss is estimated at about $l5O,■
000, nearly all of which is covered by insur

THE PRESIDENT AND THE RADICALS'
All who tiro curious respecting the final
upshot of tho difference between tho Prosl
dout and Jtho .dominant party in Congress,
will find their conjectures assisted by tho
Washington letter which wo reprint from the
Chicago Tribune. This letter is written by a
Radical, to a Radical journal, from a Radical
standpoint, giving tho substance of in inter
view between certain Radical members of
Congress and tho President. Tho particu
larity of its statements leaves no room to
doubt their autheneity. Tho confirmatory facts
it subjoins corroborates tho inference drawn
by tho writer, that tho growing broach be
tween tho President and tho Radical party
has become too wide to bo healcd-
lie ym(
The point of chief interest disclosed by
this recital is the President’s maturing de
termination to use the executive patronage
against tho opponents ,of his policy. Mr.
Wilson, a Western member of tho House,
called on the President, with a ndmber of
other Radicals, to have a free interchange of
sentiments, and to roach, if possible, a com
mon understanding respecting the restoration
of tho Southern States. The interview was
courteous enough, on both sides; although!
by Mr. Wilson’s account, tho Radicals were
rather blunt in tho expression of their views.
They told tho President, without any circum
locution, tbat they considered his policy in
the South as a failure , that they did not,
however, expect him to make a public re
cantation ; but asked that he would not ac
tively oppose tho measures of Congress in
tended to undo his work, either by the use of
patronage or otherwise, tolling him that they
would impose disabilities on the South only
in tho form of Constitutional amendments
hot requiring his signature, thus relieving
him from any necessity for using his veto.
In reply to these proposals, tho President
lefended his policy, expressing his satisfao-
tibn with its results and his confidence in its
successful consummation. "Nor did ho say
a word,’’ says the narrator, *' indicating an
intention to abstain from interference with
Congress in its legislation upon reconstruc
tion. Ho did not say that ho would not in-
torfero ; but neither did he commit himself
to the opposite line of action. However,
pressed by Mr. Wilson in this direction, he
would not give the assurances desired of
him. That ho would have made a formal
disclaimer of a purpose to meddle with Con
gress, if ho did not entertain it, may bo fairly
presumed. And this was the impression
loft by the tone and tenor of his remarks on
the minds Of his auditors.”
jjgy Edward B. Ketcuum, the notorious
forger, was recently sentenced to four years
and six months imprisonment in the New
York pjnltcnliary. No sooner was his sen
tence pronounced, than a large delegation of
the " loyal" and “ faithful” started for Al.
bany to procure his,pardon by Governor Fen
ton. They wore “ backed” by letters from
nearly all the prominent radicals in the conn,
try, among whom was Chief Justice Chase.
This must extraordinary proceeding on the
part of the Chief Justice has outraged the
I feelings of all who may continue to have some
respect for the Judiciary of the country ; and j
it cannot fail to bring reproach upon the
Bench of which Judge Chase is’now the
head. Think of a Marshall, or an Ellsworth*
or a Taney suing for the pardon of ft felon
convicted out of his own mouth —a man
whose admitted crimes had startled the whole
business world by their maghitude. Mr.
Edward B. Ketchum was a “ loyal” scoun’
drel, and therefore he is to be pardoned, and
pardoned too on the recommendation of the
Chief Justice of the United States who is n
so “ loyal.” Truly Salmon P. Chase seems
to ho devoting all his timo and energies to
trailing the judicial ermine deeper and deep
er in the mire.
The State Legislature met cn Thursday
last, and organized without delay. The Sen
ate elected David Fleming, of Dauphin coun
ty, Speaker, and George AV. llamersly, of
Germantown, Clerk. The Democratic Sen
ators (11) voted for Hon. AVm. Hopkins, of
Washington, for Speaker, and Frank. M.
Hutchinson, of Allegheny, for Clerk.

On Wednesday, the following special Mes
sage from the Governor, was presented by
the Seorotury of the Commonwealth, and
head:
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ;
Gentlemen : The toils and anxieties of the
Inst four years have, from time to time, brought
on mo severe attacks of disease. From the
most severe of those I am struggling towards
recovery. I find that to give my constitu
tion an opportunity to continue this struggle,
it is absolutely necessary that I should, with
out delay, make a short voyage and sojourn
in n milder climate. Under the pressure of
this necessity I go to the Island of Cuba.—
It is my hope and intention of return in good
season to welcome you on your arrival at the
sent of Government. But if it should be
found indispensable that my visit to Cuba
should bo prolonged to the early part of Feb ;
runry, this message will serve to lay before
yon'tho cause of my absence at the commence
ment of your session. In this ease I feel sure
that you will adopt such course as shall con
sist with your wisdom and with the affec
tionate consideration which I have always
received at your hands.
It would, however, not become mo to forgot
that the issues of life are in the hands of tho
One above nil, and that many have found
death waiting for them on tho foreign shore
to which they, have been sent in search of
health. Should such bo my fate, I shall
draw my last breath with a sense of the deep
est gratitude to tho people of tho Common
wealth and their representatives for the cheer
ful, manly, unfailing support which they
have given during the last four years to the
groat cause of the right and to mo and my
chores to maintain li, and with a prayer of
thankfulness to Almighty God that He
strengthened me till the end of the cruel re
bellion, and thought me worthy to bo per
mitted to continue to that time" ns tho Chief
Magistrate of the people of Pennsylvania.—
To have my name connected in that relation
with such n people during such a time ought
to be enough to fill tho highest measure of
any man’s ambition.

Submission by ihe Soulli.
Mr. .Garrison says the Southern States
Should not bo admitted to the Union during
the present session of Congress, no matter
what promises they may make or parchments
they may present. But General Sherman
has more confidence in their promises and
parchments ; ho says, “ I know the people of
tho’South, and I know no Southern gentle
man would willingly or intentionally repre
sent himself to bo what he is not.” The
Richmond Enquirer - speaks to this point
thus : “Even in her distress and sorrow, the
South commands the respect of her enemies
and of the world. The manner of her dosis
tanoo from the war reflects as much credit
upon her as the courage with which she con
ducted it. Her surrender has not boon a
pretence and a trick, but has been manly,
honest and sincere. Our people arc too
bravo and too independent in spirit to play a
double part; to affect a submission which
they aro unwilling to make good ; to pledge
their allegiance to a Government which they
do not, in good faith, moan to support. Their
practical wisdom teaches them that their
highest possible welfare is to be attained in
the Union, and the sacred regard which
they cherish for thoir honor and reputation
make them scorn to countenance a factious
hostility to the Government.” The Mobile
Register also speaks with a warmth which
wo fully believe the facts justity: All
honest men at the North see and know that
the South has yielded to the chastening in
fluences of the terrible war, which God in his
Providenoo has visitod upon it. No nmn
wl-.o respects truth, and who has not an end
to gain by propagating what is false, will
deny that the South sincerely, honestly, and
with its whole magnanimous heart accepts
the situation in which the trial hy the sword
has placed it, and desires and proposes to re
new and keep its vows of allegiance to the
Government, without mental reserve or quali
fications.”
A Stony auout Mr. Sumner. —There is it
pretty good story now current in Wnshing
ton concerning the distinguished Senator
from Massachusetts. While Mr. Sumner was
working vigorously to compel the city rail
roads of Washington to carry blacks and
whites on equal footing, ho happened to be
riding one day in Pennsylvania avenue, in
one of tho oars, seated beside Mr. Powell, of
Kentucky, tho leading spirit of Senatorial
“copperheadism,” who had long boon labor
ing to prove that the African was not a Can
oassian, and vice versa. Pretty soon an Amer
ican lady of African descent entered the ear,
and found all the seats-occupied. In an in
stant, up jumps—Mr. Sumner! No, indeed,
but Mr. Powell; and never was a Broadway
hollo more politely bowed into an omnibus
seat, by a Fifth avenue exquisite, than was
Dinah ushered into the cushioned space va
cated by the Kentucky Senator. When the
two Senators had reached their destination,
Mr. Powell twitted Sumner a little by ask
ing him, with a significant smile, why ho
didn’t give his seat to that “ colored lady ?’
The only explanation ol freedom’s champion
and equality’s godfather was that ho “ never
gave up a scat to anybody,” which can bo
accounted for, perhaps, on the ground that
ho is a crusty old batoltetor, while Powell is
a gushing Lothario.
CONDITION OF THE SOUTH—DEPORT OF THE
SPECIAL COMPTTEE,
[Washington Cor. Cincinnati Commercial]
The special Radical Committee on Recon
struction intend, it is said, to visit tho South
ern States, to investigate their condition, and
report whether they are fit for admission into
full communion in tho sisterhood of Union.
As moat of the gentlemen oomposing-fhe com
mittee have already made up their minds on
the subject, I don’t see the use of tho con
templated tour: especially ns their report
has been agreed upon. As tho document
will bo looked for with considerable interest,
I have procured a copy of it, for the publica
tion of which I trust Iwill not bo accused of a
breach of good faith. Hero it is ;
“ Washington, January, 180(3.
“ To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives :
“ Your committee, appointed to visit the
States lately in rebellion, and investigate and
report upon the condition ns to loyalty and
fitness for rcadmission into the Union, have
performed the duty assigned to them, and
beg leave to make the following report: '
“ Naturally the first place visited by your
committee was Richmond, A r irginia, the cap
ital of the late confederacy. Our coming had
been heralded in the newspapers there, and
the demonstration at the railroad depot on
our arrival may bo taken ns, in some degree,
indicative of the popular sentiment in that
city. Wo found a largo concourse of oiti/.ous
of African descent awaiting us, and ns we
disembarked from the cars, they hailed us
with shouts of welcome, mingled with “ This
way to the Spottswood House,” “ Here’s
yer buss for the Continental,” " Here’s yor
cab for any part ol the city,” “Baggage to
the hotel, gents,” &o. It was grateful to the
hearts of loyal men to bo thus welcomed in a
city so lately the headquarters of rebellion,
while at the same time we began to feel con
vinced already that the only truly loyal peo
ple of the South wore of the colored race
Wo could not decline the hospitalities so gen
erously tendered us, and accordingly wo se
lected two carriages from the largo number
placed at our disposal. We wore driyon to
the Spottswood by our hospitable friends,
who charged us two dollars apiece, and half
a dollar, extra for baggage. After so much
kindness from the colored race, wo wore
unprepared for harsh treatment wo sub
sequently received from the white oligarchs
at Richmond. The proprietors of the Spotts
wood gave us rooms in the fifth story,, back,
saying to the clerk, as wo have been inform
ed by a faithful African who blacked our
boots at a quarter a pair, that they wore good
enough for Yankee Radicals. The same spir
it of disloyal hate was manifested to us in the
dining-room, whore, in response to our repeat
ed call for codfish and pumpkin-pie, wo were
served with nothing but bacon and hot cakes.
We asked why this was done, and were told
by a loyal waiter, to whom we had just giv
en a postal half dollar, that Mr. Spottswood
said ho didn’t keep a hotel lor the accommo
dation of Yankees, and, therefore, persistent
ly excluded codfish and pumpkin-pies from
the bill of fare. Y’our committee do not deem
it necessary to dwell upon this evidence of
smouldcringdisloyalty, nor to compare it with
the hastily-formed opinion of General Grant
respecting Southern sentiment. Our object
was to got beneath the surface of things in
the South, to find the true character of the
social sub-stratum. We reraaiued in Rich
mond a few days, to study the character of
the people. On all hands wc found eviden
ces of distinctions on account of color, except
in a freedman’s colony, where the blacks re
ceived the whites on an equal footing with
themselves. We alsojjoticod a disloyal dis
position to speak of Stonewall Jackson and
General Lee in terms of praise and commen
dation, while General Butler’s name was on
ly mentioned in contemptuous connection
■with silver spoons, and occasionally a little
nlatod-waro, and be himself eoomed to be
better known as the Bottle Imp of Bermuda
Hundred, than.in any other way.
“ Our next visit wss to Atlanta, Georgia.
Hero wo hud a long consultation with a treas
ury agent, who had had ample menus of in
formation on the subject of Georgia loyalty.
Ho gave it at his opinion that to admit _ the
Southern States to representation at this timo,
would bo highly injudicious. Heidid not be
lieve there was a white native of the State
loyal enough to tako his place, and assorted
that to remove him and others similarly sit
uated, would bo not only dangerous to the
welfare of the country, but would also be the
height of ingratitude to men who had risked
chnractor and reputation for the patriotic
enuso of cotton and ton or twelve thousand
dollars a year. Your committee concurred
entirely in his opinion.
• ■ W'bilo in Atlanta youi committee hoard
many expressions of sentiment which go to
show how far General Grant is mistaken in
what ho savs in his late report. On one oc
casion especially wo hoard what convinced
us that the lava of secession still burned in
the Southern bosom. The case wan that of a
young gentleman irom Massachusetts, of pool
but honest parents, who had come to the South
in the capacity of a freodman’s school-teach
er. Ho had casually made the acquaintance
of'a Southern lady of two score and ton, whoso
husband had fallen under the rebel Hag, leav
in'>- her a widow of handsome estate, The
young gentlemen, desirous of matrimony and
plantations, pressed his suit, and was pro
gressing, as bethought, most favorably, when
one evening the widow told him at a tea par
ty, in the presence of a largo number of peo
ple, that she’d rather bo buried alive than
marry a Yankee.’ The patriot school-teach
er no longer plies the rod of chastisement oyer
refractory freedmon. The star of his hope
has gone down, and he has gone hack to Bos
ton, a wreck of his former self.
“ Your committee next went to Montgom
ery, Alabama, where, as at Kichmond, .the
colored citizens flocked to meet us, and yied
with each other for the carrying of our bag
gage. Wo paid them titty cents a carpet
sack from ti.o depot, and tlioy were enthusi
astic in theirdemoiistratious of loyalty in re
ceiving the currency from ns. In this city,
evidences of disloyalty met us on every hand.
A Vermont missionary had been insulted a
few days before our arrival, for attempting
to introduce ’John Brown’s Body’ and ‘We 11
hang Jeff. Davis on a soar apple tree,’ as
Sabbath School hyms. A hop bad just tak
en place at the leading hotel, to which whites
only wero invited,and to which the freedmon
were excluded on account of color, iho con
sequcjice was an indignation mooting of the
fnsadmon, at which equal rights wero demand
ed. A repetition of balls and hops, exclusively
white in their character, will lead to Jamai
cajiusurrections and Haytien rebellions, mag
nified a thousand times in their dreadful re
sults. At Mnnißomery, as at Atlanta, wo
met a Treasury agent who was opposed to
immediate reunion, and warmly in favor of
a territorial condition for the Southern States,
lie 'mentioned incidentally that he had a son
in-law in New ■ Ilamshiro who would make
an excellent Provisional Governor, and a
cousin who would do for a territorial delegate
to Congress. Above all things he hoped Con
gress would not listen to the hypocritical
cries of Alabama loyalty. Ho assured u-i
that there was no loyalty iu the State, ex
oopt in his office, and said it Would be base
injustice to supersede him till he had finish
ed the making of a hundred thousand dollars.
"Wo next proceeded to Charleston, South
Carolina. Hero we had a long interview
with a Northern gentleman'wham ivc know
to ho in every way reliable. Ho had ivsp ai
ded to his country’s call, in the early day- id
the war, and had been unvarying in hi- de
votion to the cause ever since, except a- in
tevvals when General Grant has ordered sut
lers to the rear. Since the cessation ol aun
ed hostility he has heon down South to see
what could ho done *•'>“ way of having
Southern lauds, lie has found the people ol
South Carolina so rebellious at heart us to
refuse to sell their plantations for twenty
cents an aero in federal currency. He con
vinced us that an armed force ought to bo
kept in Charleston for many years to ooino,
and that he ought to ho appointed sutler, as
ho has had much experience in the busi
ness. Ho found in this hotbed of secession
and cradle of rebellion, a decided preference
lor gray over blue, which extended itself even
to the ladies’ petticoats, many of which your
committee carefully examined. It is proper
;o state that the articles thus seruiinized
wore hanging iu a line to dry, and had no
adios in them.
“ Your Committee next vibited Savannah,
whore they found disloyalty manifesting it
self unmistakably on all sides. We met an
agent of the Froediuen’s Bureau, who gave
it as his opinion that the war was only half
over, and that unless the powers of the Bur
eau wore enlarged sc as to give him control
of all the cotton exported from Savannah, the
glorious emblem of our national liberty would
not float unmolested very long. Ho had not
been invited to a single tea party, though he
had lived in Savannah for a year, while re
turned confederates were cordially grvetod
'by brothers, sisters, mothers and sweethearts
lie himself had boon on intimate terms with
a young lady who'ropresonted many thous
and hales of cotton, but, of late, a nuc-aruied
rebel had come home, and he of the F. B had
boon discarded in favor ofhimwho had raised
his parricidal hand against the old flag. Here
was preferment for services rendered to the
rebel cause, and there are many such cases
which your committee regret to find Cionsr
al Grant has omitted entirely.
“ Your committee do"notdocm it necessary
to go into farther particulars to show that
the spirit which animated the rebellion still
exists in the South, and that the time has
not yet come for the rpadu.ission of the South
ern States to the Union.
A GRAND SUPPER

[Correspondence Chicago Tribune.]
Washington, Dec., 10, 1865.
In my lust letter I made allusion to the
fact that c ertain Western members of Con
irresa had h.m interviews with the President
since iho parage of Mr.'Wilson’a resolutions,
during which the subject ot reconstruction
was freely discussed, and that their impres
sions as to his future course had not been
very favorable. I confined myself to this
general statement, as I did not at the time
leal at liberty to go into particulars. lam
now permitted to give the subjoined full
version of what took place on the stated oo-
ca non.
Mr. Wilson, with whom frank, strightibr
wardnuss in nil tilings is a leading characteris
tic, hull born anxious for some time to have an
early, free and full exchange of opinion
with tiro Pro-idem relative to reconstruction.
He desired to express his own views upon
the policy pursued by the government to
ward the rebel States which ho know to bo
identical with those of the majority of the
House, with the utmost frankness to the
Executive, and, if possible elicit from him
a clear definition of the lino of action ho
meant to pursue toward Congress—whether
ho meant to recognize the right of Congress
to determine upon the mode of reorganizing
and restoring the rebel States to the Union
according to the views of the majority of
both Houses, or whether his purpose was to
bring the influence of patronage,- and other
agencies at his command, to bear in order
to secure an indorsement and adoption of his
own plan of- reconstruction.
The passage of Mr. Wilson’s resolution
by a vote thoroughly testing the sense of the
great majority of the House upon the Presi
dent’s Southern policy, on Thursday last,
furnished a proper occasion for tho mutual
explanation ho desired, and hence he sought
tho White House in company with his col
league, Mr. Price, on the evening of the
day. Tho Brosidont received his visitors
very cordially, and upon an introductory re
mark of Mr. Wilson, announcing the object
of their call, invited,jdiem to an unreserved
expression of opinions and suggestions.
Thereupon Mr. Wilson proceeded to say. sub
stantially as follows;
“ Mr. President, you have, no doubt, been
informed of tho resolution offered to-day
in the House and of tho vote upon it.
In explanation of it, I wish to say,
that neither myself nor the rest of the majo
rity voting fur it, are disposed to make any
distinction between Tennessee and the other
Suites, lately engaged in rebellion, in our
preliminary examination into their respec
tive claims to representation in Congress.—
At Hie sumo time, tho joint Committee of
Fifteen may and probably will, extend to the
former Slate priority of consideration by
taking up and disposing of its ease first, and
to this the majority will not oppose.” Pass-'
ing from this special, to tho general subject
of reconstruction at large. Mr. Wilson oon
tinued; “I am aware that there are mon in
Congress, styling themselves Oonsorvafives,
that claim to ho your friends par excellence.
Now, I do not hesitate to avow that I am
what is commonly called a Radical. I con
tributed, in my humble way, all I could to
tho success of the party that placed you in
power. Hence I claim the right to call my
self the friend of your administration. My
, self and those acting with mo in Congress
are all friendly ’to* it, and desire its entire
success. But wo think, and with ue our
; constituencies, that by your plan of recoii
| struotion that result is not likely to bo
1 attained. Wo hold, at tho samo time, that
’ there is one way in which if could ho reached.
In our opinion, your efforts to reorganize tho
’ rebel States and restore them to tho Union,
after an interrupted trial of some seven
months have not proved successful to the ex
tent required to insure the future ■ peace,
safety,_ and prosperity of the country. Con
gress, in pursuance of what it considers its
solemn duty, now proposes, after duo investi
gation of tho whole subject, to devise, if pos
sible, some hotter plan of reorganization and
restoration. The plan Congress will proba
bly adopt will lie lo submit such amendments
tq Ilia Constitution as will if accepted by tho
[■ , State Legislatures, furnish ample guarantees
1 f yl ' i' ie luturo. The majority of Congress
I expoot and ask that while engaged in invos
-1 tigating tho whole subject of reconstruction.
and devising some new plan, it may ho loft
free to not ns it may deem best, and . taat
attempt bo mndo by the executive to interfere
with and influence its action by the dl »t nb “
tion of pdtronngo, or in any other way. If
thus left free by you, there can be no
ble difficulty between the oxeeutiveandlo
gislative branches of the government But
if you are disposed to interfere with Con
nress by patronage or otherwise, and force
four peculiar ideas and plans upon Congress
Sd the country, you will meet with serious
opposition by those that are now the friends
of vour administration, and desire sincerely
?o make it successful. The plan Congress
pill probably adopt will not
snry for you to surrender any of your own
views in relation to reconstruction, inas
much as under the Constitution of the United
States, you cannot bo asked to approve tno
resolutions of Congress submitting certain
amendments to the Constitution. You will
not be responsible for our action, but we
will bo responsible for it to our constituents,
who will bo called upon to determine upon
the merits of our plan of reconstruc
tion. Hence ihero will be no occasion
for serious differences between the Execu
tive and Congress, if each brtincli of
the government simply leaves the other to
do what it considers its duty, And lot me
add this : the so-called Conservative members
of Congress, the men that claim to bo your ex
clusive friends, go with you to-day because (
they think it is to their advantage to do so ;
but they will oppose you to-morrow, if they
shall find that it is to their disadvantage to
it is to their disadvantage to support you.
support you. You will find in the den that the
men who differ from you to-day from sincere
convictions, and honest patriotic motives arc
much more reliable and trustworthy friends
than these time-servers.”
The President, in reply, stated that ha
was anxious to avoid a division among the
friends of his administration in Congress ;
that ho would regret to see any difficulties
arise between them and the executive. Ho
then proceeded to review at length his policy
of reconstruction, reiterating the points in
support of it mndo in his published speeches,
and more lately in his message, but said
nothing that could be construed . into an ad
mission of its failure. On the contrary, ho
seemed to be fully persuaded of its present
and future success. Nor did ho say a word
indicating an intention to abstain from inter
ferencewith Congress in its legislation upon
reconstruction. He did not say that ho
would interfere; but neither did he commit
himself to the' opposite lino of action.
However pressed by Mr. Wilson in this di
rection he would not give the nssuranacs desir
ed of him. That he would have made a formal
disclaimer of a purpose to meddle with Con
gress, if he did not entertain it, may bo fair
ly presumed. And this was the impression
left by the tone and tenor of his remarks
upon the minds of the visitors.
MOKE SIGNS OF THE FUTURE,
Tlio process of forming an administration
party in Congress, with the “ Conservative”
members of the Union majority in both
Houses as a nuoluos, and no doubt the out
right opposition ns a contingent accession,
progresses steadily. Perhaps tho most sig
nificant step yet taken in it is the holding of
separate caucuses. This has been done once
at least since tho passage of Mr.' Wilson’s
resolution. Tho call was for a meeting of
tho supporters of the President’s policy, for
tho purpose of devising some means of insur
ing its better success in Congress, and tho
attendance comprised all of the Union mem
bers that bad voted against Mr. Wilson’s re
solution.
Mucli earnest fooling has been created
among radical members by the announce
ment that the President had directed certain
heads of departments ”to make no future
appointments upon tho recommendations of
Congressmen at present.” Tho fact of the
existence of this order was communicated by
tho chief of a department to some radical
Congressman, who has made a request for a
certain appointment. But one construction
is given to this executive mandate, viz ; that
support of tho executive policy is to be
hereafter the price of patronage.
