policy .-C0,Tespondeace Etc York World.

tive Republican Committee have ordered one
hundred thousand copies of the Presidents
speech, made on the 22d of February, for gene
raj distribution over the country.

brought to this city yesterday who Is said TO be
Quantrell, the guerilla chief. Papers were
found upon him which, it is said, are sufficient

ADMISSION OF SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVES.
That Tennessee will be admitted, so far as
Congress is concerned, at an early day, does
not seem TO be doubted. The Democrats them
selves find il is useless TO raise antagonism TO
the report of the Reconstruction Committee
accompanied as it is by such formidable array
OF evidence. Then will come the admission of
the ten other States, and the basis of their
restoration will be, think, something like the
following: That the rebel debt be repudiated
that all black codes and class legislation be re-
pealed that all cOlored men who fonght LOT
The Union and We're honorably discharged,
and all who read and write, shall vote at all
elections for President, Congress, Governors,
and Legislatures.
So says Forney in his last letter. The
reader may, perhaps, be surprised 10 learn
that the statement has no sort of truth i'll 1t :;
but was written as an electioneering para
graph to deceive the voters of Pennsylvania
into the belief that the Radicals were ready
TO admit the Southern States.
QUAKERs MOVING.
The boat from Aqua creek this morning
brought up SeYenty-five Quakers from Kan
dolph county, North Carolina, who are on
their way 10 settle in Indiana One hundred
and fifty more from the same county will soon

During the discussion, Wednesday, of the
bill concerning the Paris Exposition Mr.. l..
Blond suggested that, among other great
American curiosites, the FreedmenS Bureau
be sent to this exhibition. He had no doubt
but the emigrants would admire country
that could produce such thing tGreat
laughter
Mr.. Washburne of Illinois, offered an
amendment that none of the appropriation
should be expended until the French troops
are withdrawn from Mexico. Applause, and
misses in the crowded galleries and on the
floor The amendment was rejected.
THE COMPTROLLER RATHER INDEPENDENT.
As the controversy between the Secretary OF
the Treasury and the Comptroller with regard
| to financial matters attracts much attention,
| it NAV be of interest to learn that the law
provides that the Comptroller " shall be APP
/ pointed by the President, on the recommen-
/ dation of the Secretary of the Treasury, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate,
and shall hold his appointment for the term
! of five years, unless sooner removed by the
| President upon reasons to be communicated
/ TO the Senate.

much upon the genuine circulating medium
being partially worn out.-Chr0atcte.
