district OF New York, which Is contested and
There Ii nothing In the expression which will justify the
inference that they have right say whether the
southern states have right To be represented This is
clearly denied in the MESSAGE the President has
peatedly denied in private conversations The public
can see from this tho why the President has
manifested strong desire that Objectionable men shall
be elected IN the south, and that much should be
done there as possible towards removing all obstacles
When Horace Maynard, Of Tennessee, tried TO obtain
the moor Congress yesterday TO present his creden
tals Mr. Stevens protested and told him that
ne was an outsider, and had business there The
vlerS ruled At once that ne could not recognize him
iet Mr. Maynard held certificate OF election slgned
oy Governor Brownlow, who has been recognized
as the legal Governor Of the State This action gave
rise 70 rumor, which was extensively circulated last
night that the radicals intended to declare Tennessee
out OF the Union, and IL johnson did not do their bid
ding they would impeach him ON the ground that he
could not be President not being resident OF State IN
the Union
These facts 20 to show the direct antagonsm between
the radicals and the President Thus far the action OF the
entire republican party in the House has been on the
radical side; but II the proestations Of many 81 this
party are to be believed this will not be the result any
longer An effort made TO endorsement
by the Senate of the Houses resolution this morning
but they failed to WELD that body they did the
House. Sumner could not crack his VIII SO skilfuiy
as stevens did in the House. Sumner manifested as
strong dispersion as Stevens but his energies had been
expended in a different direction He came into the
Senate with great pile Of bills and resolutions which he
had boon preparing At the appropriate time he 'arose
IN his place. and with the air OF kngto all appear
ances like Alexander Selkirk his island ina ginning
himself lord OF all he surveyed-in hoarse cultural
voice, and aping great power and majesty commenced
presenting his resolutions after the other In style
tina; he evidently considered would the impression
on all before him that he the great 81 Ann Of the
Senate He continued TO present his bills and rcsolu
tons in this lmperious manner until general
litter went around the Senate at the ridiculous
figure which he presented, much to the cha
gfn of the aforesaid Senator Seeing this he
stopped his work before the pile his table had been
materially reduced leaving the balance for some future
day The real extent that he intends In behalf Of
his colored brethren in the South is not therefore,
known But the extent to which he has gone increases
the gust and hasens the reaction against the radicals
which now seems inevitable
ANOTHER BLAST READY.
Those who cOnversant with affairs at the White
House 70 day that there is Something vet In store
fvr the radicals, which will materially change their
tone in few days: What that something is, is
ms yet mystery. There is no doubt however, that
something has tan pired about the New York Gus
tom House which has caused squirming among the
Testing great uneasness and It is reported to- night
that there has been complete change in the aspect
OF things In regard TO that appointment This
be something else. Time will tell AT any rate the i'm
preston general that the person who will receive that
appointment must be q known eudorser of President
Johnsons position and pretender but in earnest in
that direction In the meantime Stevens resolution
hangs fire in the Senate and the longer is postponed
the poorer chance IL has for passing That resolution,
should it become the law, makes the Senate fifth wheel
TO the House, minority body to the House of Repre-
sentativesa satellite doing the bidding of the popular
branchceary unconstitutional. II is certain that it
cannot pass without modification II at all Il 1t can be
delayed week there is no possible chance for its
dorscment by the Senate The rsdlcnis, however very
plainly do not intend to gise up the contest yet.
This was made evid mt by the speech OF General
Barlow ut the sarenadc tonight. While he comp-
mcnted the President and praised his declarations
that treason ought to be un, infamous, he had not
word to say about the reorga Ion policy laid down in
tue Message but went of au 8 the harmony Of the
majority oi Congress. Bt, mere rumor about the
Custom House in New York c. .atss such q Tutoring
what viii !, be when the President manirests dispe
ston 10 place men who thoroughly approve his policy
In all the oficesi under his gift He has reserved his
strength in this reapect this occasion His powder is
sdry and ready for There thousands that he
remove even without the Scnatc's confirmation The
rphicans in Congress, II they wise, will learn
lesson from the position Of Mr. Lincoln It Is we'll known
that majority Of both houses against him, yet he
carried his points in spite Of them The people stood by
him and riumphantly reelected him in the face Of the
opposition Of majority OF both houses.
