New YORK, December 1.-The CONNER
eial's Washington special says: Intelligence
from Warrenton states that three or four Of
the soldiers injured by the accident on
Wednesday cannot recover. The rest are
doing well, being kindly provided and cared
for by the citizens.
Among the latest arrivals of Congressman
are Brown, of Missouri, Washburne and
Conklin, of New York. Colfax will un-
doubtedly be elected Speaker.
Hons. A. T. Gait and R. S. Scate, mem
bers of the Canadian government, whOsear-
rival here has already been announced, are
endeavoring to negotiate the reciprocity
tariff, and modify the trade regulations to
gpfBtt9tss g fBt9 ssfest after the abr9gaten Of the
Galt's second visit for the same purpose, he
having came in July last, after the adjourn
ment of the Detroit Convention, in which
he took prominent part, as he is one of the
prominent leader of the Canadian govern
ment He probably speaks from authority,
and whatever he and his colleague stipUlate
and agree, or succeed in obtaining, will be
acknowledged and recognized by the gov
ernment which they represent.
President Johnsons letter TO Governor
Holden disappoints those who had hoped he
would insist on the admission of the South
ern members of Congress, as it shows that
he will insist on an honest compliance with
the terms of his policy.
The Republican members of Congress al
ready here show in their conversation that
they believe the President has undergone
decided change in his feelings toward the
South, and intends to apply the brakes. A
dav or two since he eA9ressed himself much
dissatisfied wilh North Carolina for defeat
ing Holden for Governor against his known
and declared wishes. The latter will prob
ably remain as Provisional Governor for
many months to come.
House of representative
WASHINGTON, December $50 Ear about
seventy-five members of the House of Rep
resentatives have arrived in Washington.
A caucus of the Republican members of
Congress is called for tomorrow night to Sc
lect candidates for the Speakership and
other offices.
There are now probably one hundred
members of the House of Representatives in
Washington, with several from the late in
surrectiOnary States. Excepting credentials
of members elect from Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, none have been received from the
South. It is not probable that others will
reach here from the late insurrectionary
States before Monday, owing, among other
causes to the deranged condition of the
mails, and the consequent delay in gather
ing official returns of election, and the
time required to send credentials to Wash
ingtOn,
So it does not now appear that on the
meeting of the House on Monday any diff
ticulty can occur in the admission Of mem
bers from the Southern States, and this is
the general opinion Of the members now in
Washington.
The members from Ohio hold private
e, -, ., -hat
didates they will support for officers of the
House, so as to act understandingly among
themselves at the general caucus to be held
tomorrow night.
Judge Yarmouth, from Louisiana, IS here
as a delegate from Louisiana. On the day
of the late election in that State, it will be
remembered, irregular polls were open, at
which both whites and blacks voted. The
Judge maintains the theory that by rebel
lion Louisiana relapsed to Il territorial con-
dition, and this is the basis on which he
will present himself as a delegate.
The Hon. Charles D. Po,t n, who in the
last Congress represented Arizona, is here
distributing among the Congressman an ad-
dress to the people of the territory, in which
he states that perfidious plot was Matched
by Governor Goodwin to defeat him and
elect himself, at the very time he, Colonel
Poston, was hard at work in Washington
soliciting more troops for the Territory and
getting the mail service restored.
NEW YORK, December 1.-The Posts
