We have at the moment of writing this para
graph, no farther positive news in regard to the
progress of the negotiations for Peace. Affairs,
indeed, have reached that point when nothing
further is to he looked for for o day or two.
The Confederate Commissioners and Mr. Seward
being face to face, no further developments can
be known until they part or shall please to lot
the public know what progress they are making.
Mere rumorS of what they may soy or do arc
manitestly of little importance. We publSh,
however, IN article from The Washington Chron-
icis of yesterday, which. from the well.known
relations of It's editor to the President is deemed
very significant in Washington. There seems
to be good deal Of excitement among members
Of both Houses of Congress in regard TO the
course adopted by the Presidcnt-necdless cx-
element, it seems to US. Something Is to DO
granted to his presumed knowledge aud sara
city, and it is hardly to be supposed that he
would go to meet the Rebel Commissioners on
a perfectly bootless GRAND. He has not hitler
70 made any public advance when there has
been talk of peace; he assured the country, q
very few weeks since, of the only terms on
which he would entertain any oyerturcs for re-
union and a peaceful termination Of tie strig-
gle; may rot the country, therefore, now that
he has taken affairs into his own hands, assume
that he knows what lie is about is not acting
without reason, and patiently await the result
Caution, certainly, is one Of his most marked
characteristics and the fact that he has moved
at all is strong evidence that he has the best
reasons for moving.

Therefore, when am compelled to allow cred.
its on one assigned quota, Iadd to quotas else
where enough to make mp the difference. Carry
the principle to its logical CONCLUSION, Suppose
the quotas of the rest of the State filled BY
credits-then Mr.. Fry will demand the
whole of its 1000 from Ncw.York City alone.
Suppose the quotas of, the other States also
filled By credits; then from New-York City
alone will he demand the whole 100000, for his
I" syatem" requires the call to actually" pro-
duce 900, coo men. and if they cannot be had
legally elsewhere, they must DO had Illegally
here. ......
We deem il unnecessary to 60 into further de-
tails of Mr.. Fry's explanation, for we show both
that his theory is wrong. aud that his appiica-
ton of it, carried to perfectly possible extreme
would work such injustice as not even he would
venture to defend, still less to execute.
But if the Government means to adopt ana
indorse Mr.. Fry's scheme, then We have to say
that the time for enforcing it ought to be post
poned The law manifestly contcmplates that
each District shall be allowed fifty days IN which
to Gil its quota by volunteering. Nov # DE-
t,ict does not know what its quota is till less
than fortnight before the draft il TO be enforced
it il defrauded of the benefit Of The law. II
does not have an opportunity, which tie law
meant il should, to ill its quota by yolun-
teers. Still more, if at the beginning OF the
fifty days II is officially informed that it has to
raise 1000 men, and month aterward Is
astounded with the statement that it must
Tnrnisl 81, OOO-still more in such case Is such
a District entitled to claim the postponcment
of the draft till it shall have enjoyed the
full ,cru, provided by law for volunteering.
If. therefore, New-York is to furnish $1,000,
or 1900 men, or any other number In excess
Of 4,OCO it is entitled to time. No man yet
knows what lis quota will finally be. When 1t
is fixed, let us have time to fill it. There is and
viii se a deep conviction that the city has been
dealt with unjustly. No matter how well or Ill
founded that conviction maybe, the Government
will do wisely to consider the fact Of its exist
cnce. Ard it will DO wisely, because it will do
Justly, to carry out the spirit ard intent OF the
law By allowing, after the quota shall have
been settled, the full term Of fifty days TO MI 1t
BIZ volunteers. Such course will occasion de-
lay, but for that delay tue Government and It,
officials arc solely responsible.

to the Unionists Q majority of one. On joint
ballot the Democrats have Q majority of four.
The transition Of three Dcinoc,a.s to the side of
Freedom would, therefore, secure majority for
ratification. .,....... ..,.. .....
The strength Of the two political parties in the
Legislature of Kentucky is, according to the
papers of that State, equally close. But here
the party lines do not seem TO be so closely
drawn, and the Emancipation party has ever
since the Presidential election been steadily
growing in strength. When last Winter n bal
lot was taken by the Kentucky Legislature for
United States Senator, the real Union strength
in both Houses amounted TO but "a votes.
More recently, when James Guthrie was
elected Senator, tho Union Party pollcd
IS votes for Gen. Rousseau, an avowed
emaneipationist; and absent members, it was
thought, would have swelled the number to 81,
while Guthrie received only Go votes. Three
Democratic votes coming over to the right side
would reverse this res,l.. Recent debates in
the Legislature show that the Kentuckians
generally regard tie doom of Slavery as being
near at hard.
Never, since the war of independence did so
much depend on the votes OF II few members OF
State Ii gisln,urcs. Every friend Of freedom and
progress indulges TIE hope, that few Demo
cratic members in either Legislature will be
found, to take part in and hasten the ratification
Of the act Of Congress.
