The harmony which prevailed in the
Union Congressional Caucus, and the
unanimity with which the officers of the
House were elected anu the policy to be
pursued towards the lately rebellious
States as to the admission of their Con-
gressmen elect designated, is regarded
as foreshadowing the views of President
johnson. Had the President taken
issue WITH the late address of Speaker
Colfax, as an intimation of that kind
was industriously circulated by Copper
head neRsmongers, or was he in favor
of the immediate admission to the privi-
leges of the House of the Southern
members elect, matters would not have
passed off in the Union Caucus 10 har-
moniously and so pleasantly, nor would
Speaker Colfax and Clerk Mcpherson
have been so unanimously nominated.
We rejoice at this indication of unity
of feeling and purpose on the part of
the present Congress. 1t has gigantic
work before it-a work that will require
all the talent, judgment, and discretion,
that every member possesses-if it be
done we'll. Were division of counsels
TO prevail among the Union members
our foes would be aroused and we would
tremble for the perpetaity of our insti
tutions, Notwithstanding the glorious
victories of our armies and the disband-
ment of the rebel military power, and
the apparent return Of peace. But as
the case now stands we are hopeful of
the best results.

The PRESIDENT AND Mr.. CoLFAx.-
The following gives little more fully
than the brief telegraph notice thereof
already published, the particulars of the
interview between the President and
Mr.. Colfax and Gen. Grant, on national
affairs, held at the White House ON Sat-
urday, the 25th ult:
The President had lengthy converse
ton Saturday with Mr. Colfax and Gen.
Grant on national affairs. The details
have not transpired, yet it is known to
have been in the main full and frank
discussion of the arguments for and
against speedy reconstruction. This
was done in the most friendly temper,
and with entire unreserve and personal
cordially. The interview is deemed
important, as setting at rest the imputa-
tions so freely made by Southern sym
Eathizers that the President had taken
offense at Mr.. Colfax's recent speech,
and that there were to be hostile divi-
sions between the executive and legis-
lative branches. The President has
hitherto believed immediate restoration
most judicious, while Mr.. Colfax prefers
delay. Mr.. Colfaxs faith in his posi-
ton wakes stronger, while the recent
action of the Southerners themselves
has done much to undermine the Presi.
dents previous convictions

fouD's now retailed at $13 per barrel,
coal at $14 per ton, and almost all the
necessaries of life in about the same
proportion. This great advance over
old prices OF SIS and Sc for flour, and
81 and SIS per ton for coal, is almost
entirely attributable to currency very
greatly cheapened in value by the in
crease of its amount. Three dollars
of paper is now worth some two dol
lars in coin; but this is not the worst
of redundant currency The more
there is OF it, the greater is the facili-
ty afforded capital in combining to
put up prices, leading to strikes and
combinations in resistance on the
part of consumers.
