WASHINGTON, June Is, 1866.
The call for National Union ConVcn-
ton has excited much speculation Withre
gard to what its effect will be relative 10
the organization OF a new party. IL Is N''!
we'll understood that the proposed Con
yen,ion is not exactly for the purpose oil
forming new party, but IN order 10 otsa-
niae the one already in existence, adnefins
10 the policy Of y restoration OIL all the
STAFF, I, their rights under the Constitu-
ton as set forth by the President. There
can he no doubt OF the fact that the con-
s.ryatiyc element in this country outnum-
her. the radical three TO one ; but the lat
ter is well organized and strong. ltsprin-
ciplcs are defined, and unless the opposi-
ton completes an organization, fears may
be entertained of renewed successes on
the part of the anti-conservativc faction
The President strongly favors active ope-
ra,ions on the part Of those advocating his
views, and is doing oil that he can to give
them furtherance. Much will rest Will
the choice of delegates by the several
States. In this connection l may add that
the wel!.tempcrcd articles which have ap
pcarcd in the Richmond Dispatch with re.
yard to the selections which are requ,Slt,
10 be made for this purpose have received
we'll merited encomiums from intelligent
parties who have given them their atten'
ton. The south must Of necessity per.
form an important part in this National
Convention, and il cannot be doubted that
the aim of its people will be to send such
representatives as will, by their wisdom
and conservative patriotism, lnstii very
different ideas into the minds OF many WI"
are now being duped and mislec 10y the re-

Mr.. Morrill, being absent from the senate
today. the bill 10 enfrauChlse the negroes
OF this District, which is under his foster
ing care-he being chairman of the Com
mittcc on the District of Columbia-was
POSTPONED, and the Niagara Ship Canal bill,
which has already passed the House, was
taken up for consideration, but the Senate
adjourned before discussion on the measure
was closed. 1t was thought to take vote
or the negro bill and pass it to-day. Tins
will probably he done whenitis next called
up. There will be much objection among
Radicals in the House TO adopting the
Senate bill, as it is modified TO an extent
too great TO meet with their appreciation.
Several members of Congress assert that
the proposed recess OF two weeks will not
be allowed, and the only one which will be
taken will he the day on which the 4til oil
next mouth occurs. The desire TO get
home, not to return until next December,
is too strong, particularly among the west
ern members, to admit OF a recess just now.
The fall elections require the presence OF
that portion of Congressman At home, and
they are even now afraid that the press OF
business on hand will require their attend
ance here longer than is at present antici-
ratcd.
Much interest is felt to know what will
be the result of the Investigations OF the
Rousseau Grinnell committee. The gene
raj impression is that resolution OF CEN
sure will he offered and passed, as II would
be rather ..npoitic, in consequence oil the
vlndictivc personalities OF Grina>!l-
speech, II move the expulsion OF Rousseau.
The latter was among the visitors III the
Presidents house to-day.
The stcreotyped reports about Cabinet
changes are being renewed. 1t IS not safe
to predict any at present; perhaps when
Congress has adjourned there Will he some.
thing new on this score. TIMoN.
