CONGRESS.

Eey-lt appears that the Radicals have
made up their minds to ADM, the Rep.
rescntatiyes from Tennessee; but, to
make it palatable they propose to do so
through resolution offered by the com.
mittcc on Reconstruction, which aihrms
that Tennessee can only exercise the
functions Of State with the consent Of
Congress. This is assuming that the
States have been out Of the Union and
only to be revived by act Of Congress.
This Joint committee on Rcconstruc-
ton on which Congress has imposed the
duty of examining into the condition Of
the late rebel States. and TO say. when
it would be right 10 let them come back
into the Union, has lately been toking
testimony as TO the spirit and dispo-i.
ton Of the South; aud as a matter Of
course, they can lind enough persons,
officers Of the army &c, who do not be-
lieyc il safe TO trust the South vet
awhile The evidence of prcdJudiccd
parties is not TO be rclicdon. Common
sense should tell any body that the
mass Of the Southern people cannot BE-
expected, in such short time, TO love the
old Government ike they once did; but
that the old feeling may soon be restor-
cd If their offers 10 return are generous
~ met by the General Government
Even South Carolina, the hardest ease
Of all, which was preparing her people
for secession for thirty years before the
war, may have 20 take q considerable
time for her population to outgrow it
under the best Of treatment And uui
grow it they certainly will if admitted
into the Uuion on liberal terms But
South Carolina can never get right, If
she is not trusted The Northern Rad.
icals did all they couH previous to the
war TO ALLEVIATE the minds Of the South
crn people; during the war they were
eternally introducing measures 10 make
everybody South rebels Of the strongest
kind; and now, all thoy seem to desire
is to keep them rebels as long as posi-
bic. This We must endure until the
next election for Congress; and thoD, if
the people return such a sct again, Why
they deserve to put up with them.
Thaddeus Stevens has lately delivered
in the House a written speech, in ironi-
cal style, very abusive Of the President.
Mr.. Sumner in the Senate has deiy-
cred another lengthy written speech in
opposition to the Radical plan of South
crn representation which he contcads,
by basing it upon the number of voters
10 each State, leaves the colored popu-
lstion in those States to the mercy Of
the whites.

rErom the BALTIMORE Gazette. !


The Fair or Bazaar for the relief of
destitute Southerners, inaugurated by
the ladies of Baltimore under the title
of the Ladies Southern Relief Associa-
ton, is absorbing the entire time Of
many of the ladies Of Baltimore, and
promises to be a decided success. In
most, if not all, of the counties, auxilia-
ry committees have been formed, and
the ladies of the different parts of the
State have applied themselves earnestly
to work to lend what aid they can to
their poverty stricken Southern friends.
The committees Of some Of these coun-
ties will, probably, have tables of their
own, while others prefer to render what
assistance they can by contribution to
tables under the Engagement OF friends
in Baltimore. This course WILL doubt
less, be pursued in the generality of
cases. ms the day fixed for the opening
of the Fair the second day Of April, is
too near at hand to allow persons at a
distance sufficient time for the prcpara-
tions necessary for Independent tables.
The ladies Of Delaware and the ladies
Of Washington city have also rendered
their aid, begging to be permitted to
associate themselves in this charity
In New York a subcommittee has been
formed, the names Of which have not
| vet reached us, aud many donations are
expected from that city.
Enquiries have been made from time
to time as to the kind Of contributions
needed. Tho answer 20 this is simple,
/ ANYTHING that can be worn, or eaten, OF

THE rENIANs.

An organization Of the Irish residents
of this country, numbering hundreds Of
thousands of members, under the above
name, has been formed Of late years, the
object of which is to libcrate Ireland
from English oppression. 1t has ex-
tended itself into Ireland, and excited
the fears Of the government OF England,
which has lately suspended the writ of
Habeas Corpus in Ireland, and arrested
many of the leading Fenians there
This has excited the members here in a
great degree, and they boldly proclaim
their purpose to make war on the Brit
ish Government, and perhaps to begin
by an invasion of Canada. Such at
tcmpts will probably bring them into
collision with our own Government,
which il bound in good faith tosupprcss
military organizations intended to opc-
rate against country with which VIC are
at peace. Much as VIC deplorc the folly
of England innot yielding to the reason
able demands Of the Irish people, and
much as We regard the generous yet i'm
pulsiye Irish of our land, VIC think the
experiment they are making here not
calculated to do much good to the land
of their birth or the land Of their adop.
ton. We would like to sec Ireland in
dependent happy aud prosperous; but
We do not think the signs Of the times
are favorable TO strike now. In the
meantime let Great Britain, as well as
our own government be warned, that NJ
| people can be safely governed without
their consent aud that measures Of con
ciliation should always be granted il
time.
J The Fcuiaus in this country hay,

/ OMahouy, their Head Ccutre, to whom
the majority still seem to adhere; yet
this spirit dges not appear TO interior
with their varIike intentions IN th
least.
