by both Houses Of Congress, there is no reason
why the machinery of the Government should
not move smoothly and easily. se
All the appointments will be confrmed,-aD
the necessary appropriations viii be freely ac-
corded.-all the requisite means and powers to
enforce the laws will be granted, while with such
men as Toombs and Iverson and Benjamin, the
time which ought to be devoted to practical
legislation would be frittered away with repeti.
lions of the threadbare gasconade upon South
ern rights and Northern aggressions. If the Sc
ceding Senators would remain out of their places,
long enough to add to the good already accom-
plished by their absence, the Pacific Railroad
and free Homesteads, the country might par
don their neglect. But as without an extra
session, Congress cannot meet again until De-
cember, We fear that to expect the Southern
Confederacy to hold together long enough upon
the stolen money and ammunition of the United
States to keep Toombs and Wigfall and Ben
jamin away from Washington next winter,
would be to expect too much. And hence we
fear that our Republican Senate is to be short
lived, Lasting only as long as the Confederate
States of America"
