The ladies of color yesterday presented the SEN
ators who voted for the civil rights bill, each with
bouquet. The Presidents supporters in the Sen
ate got nothing-not even the privilege of inhail-
ing the perfumes of the flowers. The scene re-
minded me of one of the festivals in the French
revolution when each member of the Convention
carried bouquet in his hand.
The cholera, or something like it, being at Hall
fax, creates good deal of uneasness here. The
apprehension is very general that the cholera will
visit this country in the of the approaching
summer. Some think that it is the only thing that
will drive the Congress away from Washington.
The suggestion has, it is said, been made and en-.
tertained to expel Garrett Davis from the Senate
for some violent defamation on the passage of the
civil rights BILL to the effect that he would, il the
bill passed, devote himself to destroying the gov
ernment. After standing the events of the last
few years, it is not likely that the government
incurs any serious danger from the irate Senator
from Kentucky. The idea of expelling Senator
for rhetorical flourish is absurd in the extreme
As one of the tendencies to nationalism it is
worthy of observation that proposition has been
submitted to Congress for the passage of general
railroad law, allowing anybody to build railroad
to any where and asking for the establishment OF
a railroad bureau. The immense profit of the rail
roads across New Jersey, and at some other points
causes capitalists to want to get chance to share
the profits.
The loan bill having passed the Senate only
awaits the Presidents signature to become law
There is no doubt of the Presidents approval
The passage of this bill insures gradual reduction
Of the paper money in circulation, and the gradna
fall of gold. At least these are the objects the

ects will be attained unless political events should
| assume threatening character. 1t is impossible
to predict what will be the extent of the agitation
going and ahead Of us. The countryis evidently
approaching a crisis How eventfnl that crisis
may be no one can foresee. 1t is this uncertainty
of the political future which renders it difficult tc
see how the Secreary's policy will operate.
Gen. Steadman is going South on mission Of
general inspection. The General is a man of lib
eral and enlightened views, and possesses very
large share of the confidence of the President. l
is rumored that if MIR. Stanton should insist upor
vacating the position of Secretary of War, Genera
Steadman would be called to the place.
The question of the legality of the seizure O.
