bill. The Site Of hsw York ives deeply interested
in it. and the request Of her Senators for delay
should be acceded TO The prosperity Of the North
west did not depend on the construction Of this
canal. 1t depended much more on the restoration
Of cnmmsrcal, POLITICAL and social relations with.
the Southern States. .J+E.- b0ii.
Mr.. Trumbull was % much In favor Of the res
toraton Of the South as any one, but that section
would be restored to Its relations to the Cow
ernment until the Senator from Indiana snd bis
friends ceased their efforts to bring rebsle and tra
tors into Office Did he want the Vice Presidsut of
the rebel Confederacy to come hsrs2 Did be want
Htrschel v. johnson to resume his ssst hsrs2y He
would tell the Senator that the South could nevsr
be aduittsd here while II wss unsafs tor . Union
man to express his opinion there, while the Union
dag could not be,carrjsh through the streets Of
Mobile, while the graves Of Union heroes could not
be strewed with flowers "
Il MIR. Hendricks said that he thought that Con-
gress had no control over the selection Of nofcsrs
