Especial to the Dispatch.l
MIR. wade's speech--A Cabinet Meeting-pro.
bable Dissolution OF the Cabinet.
wAsHisaros, February 90, is6s.-There was
intense excitement prevailing In Congress to.
day. The attack of Mr.. Wade on the Presi-
dent was highly personal and strongly vlndic-
tive He denounced the President and his
restoration policy In violent language, deciar-
Ing that he had appointed traitors to the
highest Offices In his gift, and had pursued q
course which was pleasing to every enemy OF
the country. No speech of the session can
compare with It for violence. But the vote
being taken upon passing the bill over the
Presidents veto, the Radicals were defeated.
In the House, the proceedings were highly
revolutionary. Thad. Stevens rode the temp
est and controlled the members in the interest
of radicalism.
An important session of the Cabinet was
held this morning. It is said that some Of the
members are disposed to desert the President
on the question now the cause of SO much
interest and excitement. The President will
not yield single inch of his vantage ground
nor recede from one Of the positions which he
has so periodically assumed. Consequently
IL is thought impossible that the Cabinet can
much longer hold together.

The V,sury Laws

The Senate bin to amend the present laws la

,ne legal rate should remain six per cent, but
that contracts ut higher rate, not exceeding
eight per cent, should be valid, II I'm writing,
WAS considered In the House Of Delegates yes.
,crday. and rejected on its passage by vote Of
for,y.Hve to forty. The vote by which the
hill, was lost was reconsidered, and the bill
then passed by.
Hitherto the General Assembly have ap.
peared disposed to favor an increase in the
legal rate Of interest, and II Is expected that
the Senate bill will yet pass the House, and SO
become a law. There Is no measure now
before the Legislature which is Of such deep
Importance TO every class Of the commercial
community as that Of the partial or general
repeal of the Usury Law; and we do earn
estly hope that our representatives will agree
in affording US some relief from the stringency
of the present law, which keeps capital out OF
the State and so neutralizes the best energies
of the people, who only require money at q
moderate price to enable them to recover from
that financial prostration which was univer-
sal in Virginia at the close Of the war.

PROCEEDINGS RELATIVE TO THE EEro.-Some
of the papers mistakenly assert that the
Senate, on Monday, attempted to pass the
Freedmen's Bureau bill over the Presidents
veto. but failed TO do so for want of three
additional affirmative votes. No such action
was had and as the telegraph will doubtless
inform our readers this morning as 10 wha'
was done yesterday, we shall indulge In NO
speculations on the subject. Ontside OF the
body il was said that a caucus OF hepuohcah
members of Congress would be called iast
night to consider the crisis. Perhaps they
concluded to get mp another bill, which might
avoid some OF the objections. But 1t Is more
probable that they determined to pass the bill
over the Presidents head.

General Lees Testimony.

The New York press have reports OF the
substance of General LEES testimony before
the Reconstruction Committee. He appeared
before a sub committee which has charge OF
Virginia. [The States are cut up and parceiied
out amongst them.l This subcommittee con-
sisted of Messrs. HOWARD, CoNKLISd, ana
BLOW, by whom the General is said TO nave
been treated cavalierly, though we can hardly
credit it. He is reported to have been quite
reticent only replying toquestions, and volun-
teering no remark beyond the proper answers.
One reporter states that when pressed by a
question TO that point, he gave as his opinion
that the feeling for the Union was much
stronger at the close of the war than now !;
for il appeared that there was some impatience
amongst the people, that men who had not
been identified with the war in the South
should be prevented from representing the
States in Congress. He averred that there
was disposition in the South to treat freed
men kindly, as well for their interests as for
that of the white people.
Another reporter says that, in response to an
inquiry as TO whether a jury could be empan-
nelled in Virginia for the trial of Mr.. DAVIS,
General LEE stated that he thought not, as
scarcely any man summoned as juror could
"bring in verdict of guilty without feeling
"that he, as a party TO the same crime, could
"be held equally liable"
tits remarked by all letter-writers las every
body knew that General LEES manner ana
statements were candid and dignified. HIS
testimony was concluded on Saturday evening,
One reporter says that the General expressed
ga decided hope that the Government might
..endure for all time, and approved the course
of the President and General GRANT towards
:. the South as liberal and humane"

E,,ension Of the Corporate Limits.

We understand that bill has been INTRO
duced in the State Legislature providing for
the extension Of the corporate limits of the city
of Richmond. The limits of the corporation
have not been extended for sixty or seventy
years. and the city has gradually been increas.
ing in size, until a great portion Of 1t now lies
in the county Of Henrico. provision in the
bill makes the proposed extension contingent
xpon the approval of the people Of the city and
county, and the evils of the present system are
so great, and cause so much inconvenience,
that we cannot doubt but that the measure
will meet with n cordial and general support
from both the citizens of Richmond and the
citizens of Henrico county.
