and the forty thousand dollars as
subsidy for the overland telegraph
line was kept in. These were the
only Western items in the bill.

WASHINGTON. Dec. ii.


Mr.. Wade moved to take up the
bill to admit Nebraska.
Mr. Pollard hoped the Bankrupt
Bill would be taken up. This led
to lively debate, which was gener-
ally participated in.
Mr.. Sumner opposed the Nebraska
Bill, because, he said, it was a pro-
vision for q white mans govern
ment.
Mr. Wade flew back at Mr.. Sum
ner, and charged him with being i'm
practicable and visionary. In the
course of the debate, Mr. Sumner
asked Mr.. Wade if he would vote fer
the admission of the rebel States
without Negro suffrage. .t.
MIR. Wade replied promptly that if
the rebel States adopted the Con-
stitutional Amendment, in reason
able time, Congress would be in
honor bound to admit them.
Mr.. Sumner said he had never en-
tered into such an agreement and
never would consent to it.
Mr. Sherman afterRard made
speech in which he said the Union
party was pledged to admit the rebel
States on the ratification of the
Amendment. If they rejected those
mild terms, however, he was in favor
of reerganizing their State govern
ments under military authority, and
on the basis Of negro suffrage if need
be.
These were the only points elicit
ed in the debate, which was other
wise dreary repetition of what was
said over and over again last sum
mer when the Nebral ska and Colora-
do bills were up. -.
The Senate agreed to the House
resolution to adjourn over for the
holidays, from the Goth inst to the

come up. Wade made big fight

Kentucky Politics.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: Gen
eral VIM. Preston, of Kentucky,
who was United States Minister 20
Spain when the secession csnspira-
cy came to head, and who returned
and Joined the rebel army and per-
formed his part according to his
ability in bringing the calamIties of
war upon his State and section and
upon the Republic, has written a let
ter to his next friend, censenting to
be nominated for Governor of Ken
tucky, provided he is sought for, and
laying down the principles that dom
mated Kentucky politics at the last
election, and which Southern honor
requires them to adhere to. For
this historical statement the letter
will be found interesting reading.
Gen. Preston states that it was the
rebel element that revived the sex
animate Democratic party" in Ken
lucky; and he holds that the politics
Of the State should be dominated by
the principle of honoring and eleva-
ting those who had served the Con-
federate cause; and he discourses in
a high toned, virtuous manner on the
basencss of those who would dishonor
the heroes of the Southern cause by
excluding them from the leading po-
litical positions.
The disinterestedness of General
Preston in thus arguing that Ken
tucky should be made the succeda-
neum to the defunct Confederacy.
aud its Offices Of State hospital for
rebel invalids. that he may he IFS
Governor, cannot be too much ad
mired. And there is an excess Of
modestY in this conquered rebel, who
holds his head by the grace Of the
national Government, prescribing for
Kentucky the political domination of
a rebellion that was crushed in the
arbitrament of arms to which it ap-
pealed, and which is an applicant for
pardon on the plea of conversion of
the heart to loyalty.
Gen. Preston's platform for the
politics or Kentucky consists of three
planks: To elect him Governor: to |
honor and exalt only those who went /
into the rebellion, and to oppose
everything proposed by the National |
Government. The disfranchisement
ofrebels, or any political exclusion Of 1
them from the offices, he regards as
q dishonor to the State, and an ostra- I
cism of all its noble clements; but
the exclusion of tha Union men, by
q clear rebel record prereqm-
site to support for any public place,
seems to him necessary to preserve
the honor Of Kentucky.
The letter makes a pretty rebel
dish to set before the Kentuckians,
and il shows them once again that
there is no half way between sup
port Of the Union party and rebel

Mexico.

Reports from San Francisco say
that the French troops who were
about to retire from Sonora toward
the City Of Mexico, will be set upon
by bands of Republicans from all
quarters, and overwhelmed by num-
bers.
By way of New Orleans we are
told that MAMMALIAN never intended
to leave the country; the story is re-
iterated that be went to Orizaba
merely to recruit his health; and
that when the French leave, all class
es of Mexicans viii rally round him
and upheld the Empire.
From New York we have intelli-
genee-net very surprising = that
the Liberal party in Mexico do not
ieek with favorable eye upon the
proposed interference of the United
States, and in fact that the Govern
ment OF Juarez would resist the
same with all its powe-. Indeed, if
anything could rally all classes of
Mexicans to the support Of Maximil
lian, it would probably be the med
ding policy which johnson seems
determined to inangurate. The
United States Government might
drive Macmillan out, but after that
it would be compelled Immediately
to retire and let the Mexican ele-
ments adjust themselves, or bring
them all under subsection, and hold
the country by the streng arm of
force.
As il, however, to render all spec
ulation vain, advises from Washing
ton, based upon private letters said
to be receive there, assure US that
Maximillian has no intention of re-
naming for any length of time in
the country; that he will make no
hearty effort to retain his dissolyiug
sovereignty; and that he will only
stay long enough to make some
decent show of turning ovei the
Government to other hands.
1t is more likely, if a conjecture
can properly be hazarded where all
seems uncertainty and confusion,
that Max has definitely determined |
neither to relinquish his scepter, nor
hold on to it; but that he has gone
back to his capital with tho simple |
intention of waiting the course Of
events ard governing his actions
accordingly. The foolish hesitating
intermeddling of the Administration
may rally the Mexican nation round /
his throne; and then if our Govern
ment should resort to force, it would
be far more honorable for the Aus
trian Archduke to be driven from
the country by the arms of the Great
than by the Mexicans
themselves, whom he can neither
nor subdue.-CiR. Gaz.
