a descendant OF genuine old revolutionary
stock on both his fathers and mothers SIDE
II was proposed q long time since 10 nominate
him, unless a military man shonld be agreed
upon. The Republicans will fight desperately
TO hold their ground in Pennsylvania, as wen
as In other Northern States; but there seems
an impression just now which oodes 'he'h 'o
particular political good.
The Reconstruction Committee will open It's
portals again next week, probably, and bring
10 the House Bingham's joint resolution rela'
tive 10 the admission OF the State of Tennessee.
No Eve ms for
purpose of being vetoed, there is no fear but
wAat II viii receive that act OF Executive con-
sidera,lon, and consequently Tennessee will
relapse into her condition as one OF the dis
loyal u eleven. II is not proposed 10 admit
her Representatives whilst they ore represen-
tatiye men The same is true of every other
Southern State, according TO the present dls'
position. No one can tell what will be the
next measure Matched from this committee of
fifteen.
Sumner had his speech on the basis OF re-
presentation amendment, which he has been
long time preparing, in readiness to-day when
the morning hour expired, and proceeded 10
its lengthy delivery. There was nothing new
IN il. and he went over the same ground he
has been ploughing since the secession com
menced. The time has nearly arrived for
tons will probably Toe commenced on another
Of the same ilk, the deliberations ignoring
altogether those great questions OF financial
and national interest which are Of para
mount importance.
Ii is not thought that the reciprocity bill,
providing for trade between this country ana
the British Provinces, will pass Congress.
Canada particularly is held in not very exalted
consideration. The vote will be taken in the
House next week.
The system Of legislation which has been
INDUCED in has seriously deprecated the bust
ness interests of the country. Complaints from
all quarters are coming into this effect. Ii is
very severely felt here in w ashinSton. The
Radicals are carving ont a broad road to ruin
which, If they do not succeed in completing
before the people have time 10 put in their sub
stantial veto, its failure will prove blessing
In very truth. llMoN.
