WASHINGTON, November 23-It is stated
that MIR. Colfax will be on the ground here
until Congress meets. He will thus have
great advantage in manipulating members
as ther come, in advance, to his interest

of severe measures against the South.

In a caucus Of Republican members it
may be found necessary to harmonize

1t is rumored here that Dr. Powell, State
agent Of North Carolina, has gone to that
State with view to prepare the way for
the Inauguration Of Mr.. Worth as Co
vernon. He is invariably spoken of here
by all North Carolinians as an excellent
man, and one little identified with original
secession.

He will probably play rather large part

Admission of Southern Congressman

WASHINGTON, November 22.-An inter-
esting feature of the political situation is
that Of members of Congress elect who
may be willing to take the oath. Mr..
Forney sometime since stated that such
should be admitted. The President has
stated as much, but under the Colfax pro-
gramme, they cannot be until their States
have made laws in consistence with the
Declaration Of independence, and the
people have endorsed the action of their
recent State conventions. But under the
laws Of the United States, States are dis
tricted for choice OF Congressman, who
are accredited as from certain established
districts. When persons are elected by
the people of such districts, how can they
be kept from their seats in the House?
hear from several quarters to-day that
the President is very firm in his policy of
a prompt restoration Of the Southern
States.
The conduct Of the British Government
in surrendering the Shenandoah to the
United States is not regarded in anv
quarter as deserving of especial commen-
dation, unless the act be accompanied by
compensation commensurate with the
damages heretofore committed on Ameri-
can shipping by tho English built and
English recognized cruisers.

General Humphreys has telegraphed to
the President relative to the withdrawal
OF colored troops. He replied that it will
be done when order is maintained without
them. There is no disposition on the part
OF the Government to dictate, but simply
to advise beneficial policy.
Governor Humphreys message to the
Legislature recommends that negro testi-
mony be admitted Il the courts, and the
passage of laws to encourage free linen to
support their families and educate their
children. He thinks that the passage Of
these measures will secure the withdrawal
