WASHINGTON ITEMS.

THE TENNESSEE SENATOR'S.
The indications are that about three -fourths
Of the Senators will vote in favor OF admitting
the Tennessee members when the motion
comes up.-Nsto York Times.
THE TRUcR-TRNNEssB8.
Very keen inside Republican observers have
no faith in the re-amity, SO to speak, between
the President and the Radical destructionists,
but nevertheless they believe that the Tonnes
see members will be admitted to seats in Con-
gress at an early day--Alpha, in Baltimore Sun.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
The postponement of the House until the
second Tuesday in April Of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment in relation to the pro-
lection of life, liberty and property, Is regarded
by many members of Congress as defeat OF
the measure, at least in its present FORM
While the majority admit that the principles
should be enforced, they are not all agreed as
to the means recommended by the Committee
on Reconstruction to that end.
THE CABINET.
Mr.. Harlan will soon retire from the Cabi-
net, but this will be the only instance, at pre-,
sent, of a voluntary resignation by any head
of department.-CbrreSpo Sun.
TRIP TO MOUNT VERNON.
A distinguished party of ladies and gentle
men made an excursion 10 Mount Vernon on
Wednesday. Among the party were MRS;
General Grant and daughter, DR.. Sharp and
lady, Of Richmond, and others.
THAD. sTEvENs's ROD.
The question OF the admission of Tennessee
members has been held in reserve by the Ste
VEINS cabal as a rod over the head of the Presi-
dent to enforce obedience by him to their brutal
and unconstitutional measures. National Intel

RECEIPTS DURING THE REBELLION.
The receipts into the United States Treasury
from all sources for the four fiscal years, com
mencing July J. 1861, and ending June 80, 1860,
amounted to 81, $50, 9l4, 642.63.
SMUGGLING.
Important information has been received as
to smuggling goods into this country from
Canada. 1t has been ascertained that an i'm
mense traffic is carried on-the goods being
supplied by the Hudson Bay Company.
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
Statistics at the Treasury Department show
that the commonly received opinion That there
is q balance Of exports over imports in our
foreign trade, is without foundation. The
official values of the exports are currency
values; the values of the imports are gold
values and consequently, for the purpose OF
comparison, it becomes necessary 10 equaiiZe
them. For the three years, 1868, "a, 90, the
imports amount to SS76, 900, 900 in gold, while
the exports, valued officially in currency ut
S972, OO0, 600, when reduced to gold standard
are 1862 900 900, leaving, instead OF an oyerplus
in our favor Of 1856, 900 900, deficit OF Sl54
OOO, 600. This is the true condition OF our
foreign trade, and probably explains the great
flow of our Government securities TO Europe

THE PRESIDENTS OPINION OF THE POWERS OF
CONGRESS-.
President Johnson told New York Repre-
sentative last night that Congress has nothing
to do with the admission of Southern mem
bers, except to examine and judge OF their
qualifications, the validity of their papers,
and their loyalty to the Constitution and laws
of the United States.-Speciat to Neso York Id
oerttser.
THE CASE OF sBMAEs
appears to be sleeping. Weeks ago, advised
YOU Of q hitch " in the contemplated trial,
and that hitch remains unadjusted to the
present day. The popular impression among
those well informed, or likely to be, Is, that
the President interfered and orded the prepa-
rations for trial to be stayed until ne could In
form himself better upon the subject. -Cbrre-
spondence Baltimore Sun.
RIDICULOUS FEAR.
have hitherto refrained from mentioning
a fact that have been at last reluctantly led
to believe, namely, that 1t would be prudent
in the President to adopt some measures for
his personal safety. The infiammatory ap-
peals of the Radical leaders have goaded some
of their ignorant and degraded followers to
the pitch of fury, and they have been led to
regard Andrew johnson as an obstacle in the
way of their fancied rights.-Spectdt to Neto
