infamy which attaches 10 some of the
movements of this clan has not been suffi-
Gent to destroy hope of ultimate success in
the sanguinc imaginations of its leaders,
and the hangers.on who look to it as the
only alternative for retaining stall at the
public crib, have bent their energies to
whip popular sentiment into the track
marked out for it to 60. Their tongues
are forked with venom against the men
to whom they but few months ago sung
songs of everlasting praise. When the
vile hand of the assassin removed from
earth the humane, the mcrciful, the God
like Lincoln, their eyes shed no tear OF re-
gre'. Before his remains were deposited
in their final resting place, Radical ora
tors and the Radical press teemed with
consolatory admonitions in which it was
declared that "The rebels had lost their
best friend" 1.-THE angel of Justice had
stepped in just about the right time to
wrest the sccptcr from the angel Of Mer-
cy," /" Providence had interviewed to stay
the hand Of Mercy" and kindred flowers Of
rhetorical fancy. They acknowledge tina:
if Mr.. Lincoln had lived his leniency
would have been at least equal to that of
his successor. Does any one imagine
that had he lived theii h,tred of him would
have been less sinccres But a change
has come over the spiri. Of their dreams.
Their highly-wrought imaginings have
vanished like the baselcss fabric of a
dream, and no language is strong enough
to portray their detestation Of the man to
whom they had sung such loud hozannahs.
The pent.up storm which was about to
burst over the head of the sanity Lincoln
fell in all its fury upon his successor.
The most degrading epithets are constant
ly upon their tongues, whenever the name
of ANDREW JOHNSON rises up as a
wall Of fire between them and their
Wanted ambition. The friends of the
President. the friends Of peace and unity.
"with malice towards none, with charity
for all" have been OR time dismayed by
these frenzied outbursis Of rage, but this
silence may be considered an omen of
good, the evidence Of determination a.

Washington, July 11.-Sir: Your note
Of the 10Th inst. was received yesterday.
I cordially approve tho movement which
has beer instituted to sustain the Admin
istation in sustaining the Union Of the
States, and recognize in the call you
have sent me. the principles and views by
which the Administration has been gov
erned. The attempt was made to destroy
the national integrity by secession. In
the suppression of the rebellion, measures
were commenced to rc-estahlish the frater-
nal relations which for four years had
been interrupted. The policy indicated
by President Lincoln to restore the ma u.
tional integrity was hurried forward by
President johnson. The States which
had been in rebellion were. under this be-
MGR policy. .resuminG their legitimate
functions. The people had laid down
their arms, and those who had been in in
surrcction were returning to their ale
glance. The Constitution had been win.
dicated and the Union was supposed to be
restored, when check was put upon the
Progress to national harmony and prosper
iiy. thus da~ning on the country. Upon
the assembling of Congress-. all efforts
towards Cninn aud nationality became
suddenly rafa,ixed. Measur,s Of coneili-

following resolution:
ResO'red, by the House, the Senate
concurring, That when Congress adjourn
it will adjourn TO meet again on Saturday,
the first day of December. unless sooner
summoned Ivy the presiding officers, which
power, in case of emergency, is hereby
granted to them.
Finck, of Ohio, asked if that resolution
was not privileged QUESTION. and expressed
that opinion, though he said that there
was no question that if the two Houses
took recess they could authorize the
presiding officers to call them together at
some day during ;he recess. If Congress
adjourned sine die no power but the Prcsi.
dent could convene them in advance of the
regular session.
Stevens moved to postpone the rcsolu-
ton until Tomorrow for the purpose Of
giving gentlemen time to consider the
question.
Harding, of Kentucky, inquired whether
the resolution came in as a matter of con-
sent.
The Speaker replied that it did; adding
that tn. resolution was in order as a priv

g.. NAVY DEPARTMENT, Jan. 10, 1866.
General Order No. ~
At a Naval General Court Martial, assembled
At the Navy Yard, Philadelphia, Captain CICERO
PRICE, Of tho United States navy, was recently
tried on the following charge and specification,
viz:
CHANGE" Neglect Of duty
Specification. tin this, that the said Captain
CICERO PRICE, Of the United States navy, having
tAken command OF the United States steamer
Jamestown on the twenty -nfth day u Sep
tember, eighteen hundred and sixty two, said
vessel being then In commission and lying on
tho navy yard at Philadelphia, fitting out for
foi eign cruise, and the completion Of said nt-
ting out said Captain CICERO PRIcE, Of tho United
States navy, having sailed, on the twelfth day Of
october, eighteen hundred and sixty two, with
the said vessel under his command from tho
navy yard at Philadelphia, under orders from
the Navy Department TO proceed to the East In
dies and the coast Of China, did fail, before sail
ing on the said twelfth day Of October, eighteen
hundred and sixty two, to transmit to the secre-
tary Of the Navy complete lists or muster rolls
Of the officers and rated mon under his command
on board said vessel. aud that, during the cruise
Of said vessel, while under his command, from
the twenty fifth day OF September, eighteen hun
dred and sixty two, to the time he was detached
from said vessel, tho seventeenth day Of October,
eighteen hundred and sixty Ave, he was habitu-
ally neglected. OF his duty in transmitting to tho
Department the muster rolls Of the said vessel
as ia required Of each commanding officer. and
which It was his dutyito have done"
OF this charge the accused was found guilty,
and sentenced as follows:
"To DO suspended from rank and command
for the period Of two ( years. and to forfeit one
half OF his leave-of-absence or waiting orders
pay for the period OF his suspension"
II the Department had any hesitation In ap.
proving this sentence, 1t would not be caused by
the severity Of the punishment awarded. Ne
glsot to comply with the regulations respecting
muster rolls and other returns has become so
common as not only to embarrass the Depart
ment but cause serious injury and losses to the
men. An instance occurred In this war, whore q
naval vessel went to sea and was lost, with all
her papers, and NO muster roll having been for
warded TO the Department, great delay and suf-
fering has ensued among the heirs Of those on
board,
The Department regrets the necessity ofbripg-
ing to trial and punishment an officer Of the ago
and experience OF Captain PRIcK, but command
ing officers must understand that the laws and
regulations for tho protection Of enlisted persons
cannot be evaded.
Captain CICERO PRICB will be considered as
suspended, In conformity with his sentence, from
this date. GIDEON WELLBs,
Secretary Of the Navy.
