Special Dispatch TO the Louisville Courier
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4--P. Mt is not expected
that there will be anything of Importance done in
Congress until next week. MANY of the members
will not be in their places until Monday. Among
those who have returned from Christmas visit to
their friends, there is very marked tendency to
Conservatism and more general support of john
sons policy of reconstruction. at the the begin
ming of the session of Congress there were only
two Senators known to be willing to give a hearty
support to the President; now there are more
than twenty who will stand by him and sustain
his programme. The few radicals are endeavor-
ing to counteract the influence of the recent pop
ular vote against negro suffrage in the District.
Meetings have been called for this purpose, but
they have been complete failures in every instance.
The Impression is beginning to prevail that an
active advocacy of negro suffrage is not strong
Recommendation to Executive favor, and only Il
few officials have had the manhood to defy the EX-
ecutive dspleasare. Most prominent among these
is Postmaster Bowen, who also holds three or four
other offices at the same time. AS q consequence
it is stated the Washington postoiice is on the
list for an early change.
1T is not probable that the nominations for i'm
portant offices will be made until the reeonstruc-
ton of the South has been accomplished far
enough to warrant the President in selecting fair
proportion of the appointees from the Southern
States, so that the Administration will represent
all parts of reunited country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The London Morning Star
says: The first Fenian prisoner put upon trial at
Cork was Captain McCaferty, who had served
IN the Confederate army, and who was subject
of the United States. He was arrested on board
a steamer from America, and was brought ashore
III custody. His council objected to the procedure
on the ground that he was an alien, who, in his
own coutry, could not commit the otfense with
which he was charged and who had not set his
foot on our land, so as to become guilty when ar
rested. The Judge held that this objection was
fatal to the Government and the jury, under this
direction, returned verdict Of not guilty
