ment-Comp,rolier OF the Curremy-The Pa
ris Expoaitien--R aymond on the Radicals &c
WASHINGTON, July Is, 1866.
II isa favoritc Radical prediction--looK-
ing ahead TO a period rather distant-'hat
there will be assembled in Washington on
the 4th of March next, or thereaoon!s'
what they term rebel Congress; that iS'
a Congress composed Of the represents
,ivcs Of the now excluded States and inc
Conservative members who may DC ciectcu
in III. coming fall. It's rather long time
IN look ahead to, but there are indicanohs
NOW however slight they may he, that the
President will, after the expiration OF this
CONGRESS. call a special session OF the For
,;c,h CONGRESS, which will include the
members from all the States in the Union.
This will be rendered necessary by the re-
fusal on the part of the present legislators
10 do ANYTHING towards admitting the
South to her just privileges under the
Constitution and il seems evident, from
the present disposition, that the extreme
Radical faction now in power will not pre-
sent themselves at the called session. 1t
need not be expected that the members
elect from the South can be admitted
during this Congress; but it needs very
little reflection to insure its participation
in the affairs Of the Government, of which
each State is a component part, before tins
day twelve months hence is at hand.
1t is not in the least improbable that a,
the next session of the Supreme Court
there will be decision against the con-
stitutionality of the Civil Rights bill, the
provisions OF which are now in force. The
President vaguely hints at this in his re.
cent veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill
No. 2, where he states that the Civil Rights
bill will be faithfully executed as long as
it shall remain unrepealcd and may not be
declared unconstitutional by courts OF
competent jurisdiction.
The House has concluded that II can
adjourn on this day week, and there Is
every probability that the Senate VIII
adopt a similar resolution. Very many OF
the members have already left for their
homes, and unless some important circum-
stance should transpire by which call OF
either House should become necessary,
will not return again during the present
session.
The letter of Mr.. Raymond i'll the Times
of Yesterday, in which he arraigns the
Radicals for their proceedings in very
,orcible stylc, has excited no little COM
ment and indignation among the extrem-
lists, and il would not be surprising if
they should take some action in the mat
ter before the adjournment.
The most prominent applicant at pre-
sent for the position OF Comptroller of the
Currency, which will be vacant when Free
man Clarke goes the way of all Radicals
next week, is Mr.. Hurlburd, now Deputy
Comptroller. His political career is not
known to be of any extraordinary dimen-
sions either way, whilst his character as a
thorough business man is reported of the
proper stamp. The Secretary Of the
Treasury will designate the successor OF
his quondam factious subordinate.
The Secretary of State has received in
formation that among the prizes which will
bc distributed at. the Paris Exposition
will he one of hundred thousand francs
10 that local establishment which is most
successful, by its organization and manage
mcnt, in promoting the prosperity and har-
mony and the moral and intellectual we'll
being OF its operatives.
The instructions given by the Secretary
of War Ia General Grant, disallowing mill
tary assistance to Governor Brownlow for
the purpose of getting a quorum OF the
Tennessee Legislature together at Nash
vile, were by the express directions OF the
President.
The Rousseau case was not brought for
ward today in the House of Representa-
tives, as Was anticipated. Mr.. Rousseau is
not disposed TO receive a rcprimand from
the speaker under all the circumstances
attending his case, and it is very generally
thought that he would resign. lie will be
returned without opposition.
The thermometer continues CD in the
Dinctics, and business of all kinds is more
than ordinarily dull in consequence.
