the session that Congress would run wild on
tne negro question, and slgnalize It's action by
omoious intermeddliDg with the strictly execu-
i've duties which pertain to the management Of
the war, are happily relieved, The progress
tnus iar made proves that though the radical
party Is active and resolute II cannot command
working majority, and consequently that there

the proceedings, that the resolution was sup

radicals, and resisted by Mr. Blair of Missouri,
