ern States, was presented in the. Senate
to-day, signed by Governor Wells, OF
Louisiana, and others, petitioning for the
reduction Of that State to territorial
condition. 1t was brought forth by Mr..
Trumbull, and made the text Of an ex-
tended speech by that gentleman. He
took high Radical ground, and insisted upon
the duty Of Congress to interfere in the
State organizations now existing in the
South. Thc%adicals seem determined to
accomplish this end if possible, and every
day some new example of injustice to

ut it with discredit, and do not think the
present time is propitious for such coup
1t is very evident that if the plan is to be

country will certainly be the loser there.
by. His proposed tariff bill, now in the
hands of the Senate Finance Committee
will very likely fall before the one passed
in the House last year, or a measure very
similar thereto. Mr.. Fessenden, who is
chairman of that committee, does not for
get that he was Secretary of the Treasury
before Mr.. McCulloch, and entertained
views with regard to financial matters
somewhat different from that gentleman
When the tariff bill is reported, which will
bc carly in January, lively fight may be
anticipated on the different provisions it
contains. The lobby will be then on
hand, and their influence combined with
the rancorouS feeling which exists between
the eastern and western Radicals on &C
count of New England Interests being
paramount TO all others in the bill, will give
very great concern to its progress.
The bills for the admission of Nebraska
and Colorado will stand a very poor chance
of becoming a law if the President should
veto them, as several Radical Senators are
now fighting them with vigor, who, upon
any other question, would vote against suS'
tanning the President in bis objections
The Senators from those States, however
are still hopeful, and expect TO be, admitted
shortly after Congress reassembles.
But very little talk Of impeaching the
President is now heard, though parties are

event. The result of their opportunities
will probably be the appointment of a COM

Many believe that Congress, after having
redeemed the promise to constituents al
home, and put the infiCtion of negro SUI.
trage on the District of Columbia, will now
pass law taking the city government into
its own hands, and appointing commits
Sioners, who shall have control OF affairs
and thus vtiate the essence of the negro
law just passed. There is much specula.
tion on this suggestion and such may be
the case next winter, but now there is q
very strong desire to test the experiment
of the law, and one trial of it will certainly
be made. TIMON.
