Admission Of Southern Representatives.

This, which is the absorbing topic of con :
vcrsatiOn, discussion, and even of strife, in
Washington city, continues to occupy the
attention OF newspapers everywhere and OF
their correspondents in that city. We Gull
from papers of opposite political bearings the
speculations which arc INDUCED by the seve-
raj parties. The Baltimore Sues Washington
correspondence says
WASH NGTON, December lN.-Thc Repu bill
cans are in Il very anxious condition. Men of
conservative and radical views are seen much
ia conference, and the result. doubtless, will
be letting down gradually from the COlfax-
St'Vens-Sumner platform towards that of fhr
PRESIDENT In no other way can the Republi-
can party he kept together. l believe Horace
Greeley and Colonel FOrncy both are working
to this end.
= Stc> ems is pushed hard by the Radicals for
the chairlnan>hip Ofstlie leading House COM
mittee, and the Speaker may yield. MIR. kaS-
SON is antagonizing MIR. Raymond for the
Craftsmanship of the foreign affairs committee.
Speaker COlf;LX keeps his own cOinseis and
cOnsults with but few, if any, members as to
the construction OF tho standing committees.
The subject is one OF much interest to those
having legitimate business before the House.
and also to IN energetic class OF men here
known as the lobby.
tomorrow, ii there Is Il quorum of members
present, the House standing committees will
be named. 1t is said that Thatldeus Stevens is
chairman OF the ways and means Mr.. Morrill,,
OF Vermont, chairman OF the committee on ap-
propriatiOns and General Butler chairman
of the committee Oh foreign relations. There
Is great and Just indignation over Stevens's
appointment, and pressure may change it.
The Republicans, it is said, do not intend to
quarrel with the President, but that they will
take their own time about admitting the
see. They will yield Oh this point, it is repre-
scented, out of Difference to the Executive, and
for the reason that his son-in law is
one Of the Senators.
Mr.. Greeley says in his paper:
The President and the Overwhelming ma iori-
~ OF Congress are in intimate and friendly com
and no arts will suffice to embitter
or ALLEVIATE them They will frequently con-
suit and compare views: they will respect
each others rights and convictions: they will
agreement, the few points of difference, and
will labor to emphasize the former and re-
move the latter. Time and daily intercourse
will serve to clear uO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to
strengthen the ties that unite them, and
heightcn the mutuafdesirc to act in concert, so
far as wortliily may be, and to remove I'M i
pediments to concurrent action, which the !
arts Of mutual anniversaries have tended to ay. 7
gravatc. 1t is already certain that both Presi- I
lent and Congress will earnestly cntleavor 10 !
act i'll concert: and, in such matters, the will |
suggests and smocthes the way. The very cor
tial and hearty approval generally accorded |
to the Presidents message proves that the |
obstacles to such Il concurrence are neither so I
many nor so formidable as the common ad- ,
loudly, confidently, anticipated.
And the National hteUiye,,ces of Yesterday
declares by authority:
We feel able to say with confidence that Mr. I
Horace Greeley, who is now in this city, has
impressed himself substantially in accord with
lie President in his reconstruction policy as
announced in his message and carnpstIv de
)recates any division Of the majority of Con
,rcss. ~ 10y y : -.
