A Washington correspondent says:
The destructives are postponing issue with
the President as long as possible Tkey hold
councils Of war two or three nights in the
week, but can come to no conclusion. There
are scarcely two in the party that agree on
all points Of policy, but notwithstanding
these slight shades Of difference, they are
firmly united in the resolution 10 keep the
Southern States out until something Is done
to prop their filling purity. They havelatsly
dared TO differ with Thad. Stevens. Only eley-
envoted with him on Broomall' sresoluticn 10
refer the question Of white suffrage to the ne
gr,ass of the district. Seventy seven voted
sg4inst him on his own resolution looking 10
relieve the legal Fraternity from the test cath.
BY the way this was a strange movement for
Thad. Stevens to make. The resolution It.
self explains that it was made with view to
placing attorneys on an equal footing with
other professional men. Stevens may be
an honest monster" but the probability Is
that he scents Il decision from the supreme
Court adverse TO the test oath. That de
cision must soon be forthcoming in Garlands
case.
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Express states that Hon. Sanford
Z. Church, Of Albion, had a long interview
with the President on Friday, and went
home satisfied that the President will admin
lister this Government en- his old Democratic
principles. The Republicans who, in both
branches Of Congress, have been Bullying the
President, the week past, viz Howe and
Summer in the Senate, Schoieldand Bing-
ham in the House, had Just the effect upon
him'that ike Bullying had upon General
jackson when the old United States Bank
was wont to pour in upon him, from the
cities bank delegates 10 overaNe him. They
only made him mad, and Congressional bull
lying has had the same effect upon Andrew
johnson. -rs ..s

From the National Intclligcncer
In a recent issue of the New York Til
bvne there appeared an article headed The
Prayer of the loyal Tennesseeans,v which
should not be allowed to pass unchallenged,
lest some good men may receive for genuine
counterfeit coin, possessing only enough OF
the true metal to gid its surface and make
it pass without suspicion among those who
are unacquainted with the truth. Before
proceeding further, we cannot refrain from
expressing our sincere regret at the eager
ness with which the Radical party and press
catch up and repeat with trumpet tongues''
any evidence Of local disorder, without stop
ping or desiring to inquire what relation the
occasional circumstance bears to the general
peaceful, law-respecting, and crder-ioving
sentiment Of the section they desire to rule
with fire and sword as conquered terri
tory.p Even Senator's Of the United States
produce before Congress individual cases Of
outrage, and demand, with characteristic
prejudice and injustice, that the whole South
EN- people shall be held answsrable for
crimes they utterly abhor, detest, and con
denim. 81

rending language as to make the Tribune add
its voice to their cry TO the General Govern
ment to intervene in their behalf and Acover
their nakedness." To the loyal and true
men Of Tennessee, it will be a matter u
great surprise 10 learn that lawlessness and
violence has been the result Ct their strenn-
Gus opposition thereto. All men who are
acquainted with the truth know that the
present Governor and his party have been,
through blindness or eulpabiIity, the real
cause Of all the violence and disregard Of
law that has been witnessed in Tennessee
and an ample illustration OF this statement
il found IN the fact that, wherever TIM
Governors influence has for time gained
the ascendency through the worst passions
of men, this irampling under foot all Law
and order was the result. 1t il equally vel
known in Tennessee that the Knoxville

senior editor, has, time and again, counselled
and succeeded ia melting mob law, 10 drive

we are viewed by others, and especially BY
those whose interests and prejudices ere
supposed to be antagonistie to our own. The
Richmond, Va, correspondent of the New

of decided sectional preconceptions, which
impart spirit of unfairness to the most that
he writes; and yet he shows disposition to
deal fairly with the South as far as he is ca
pable of understanding us. Therefore we
have some patience with much that we dis
approve. The following is sample of his
