From Washington.

Ihe correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun says:
Wall street certainly expected the
passage of the loan bill, for gold
opened at twenty-eight and frac-
ton, this morning. Wall street was
mistaken. The bill being opened for
discussion, Mr.. Broomall, who had
voted against it, stated that he was in
favor of its object, but opposed to it's
details; that the same was the case
with many other members. He would
tell the Committee of Ways and
Means that they cannot carry this bill
that the Democrats, but not the Union
majority, might go for it, and that it
must be recommitted and amended.
The House has passed joint reso-
luton for the termination Of the pre-
sent session on the - Thursday in
May. 1t passed by a vote Of so to g..
1t means nothing more than an ex-
preston of q willingness to adjourn
as soon as possible in reference to
their political interests. Two hun
dred members are engaged in q fight
for their reelection. The next is the
President-making Congress, and
every nerve will be exerted to carry
it. The same power that elects the
next Congress will elect the next Pre-
sident.
This Congress will not admit Rep
resentatives from the eleven Southern
States, and this Congress intend to
make the next, which will persist in
the same policy towards the South.
After the election OF the next Presi-
dent, there will be less object In the
exclusion of the South.
Many members are willing to close
the session as soon as the appropria-
tion bills can be passed, leaving the
President to administer the Govern
ment, as far as the law will permit,
according to his own policy. They
assume that the President will not
enter into general system of politi-
cal prescription in the recess of Con-
gress, and that, if he does, they will
make as much capital out Of it us he
will.
1t is now stated in high Execu-
tive quarter that Mr.. Stanton sup
ports the policy OF the President
Meantime, Mr.. Sumner asserts posi-
lively that the Secretary Of War is
quite up to him in the radical race
OF somebody is cheated.
[ can state authoritatively that the
report III the newspapers at tle North
that Secretary Welles has written
letter fayoring the election Of Gene
raj Hawley, the radical candidate for
Governor in Connecticut, is untrue.
He is openly and expressly for the
candidate who supports the Admins
tration in the restoration or recon-
struction policy. He considers that
issue the only live one. He is op-
posed to those who oppose the Presi-
dent On that absorbing question.
There begins to be doubt about
the Presidents signing the civil
rightsb bill.
The President has endorsed in his
own handwriting the course of
clerk who refused to answer to an as
sessment for the New Hampshire
election, and to go home and aid the
radical element in that State
1t is Senator Foote, of Vermont,
who is understood to be inspirator of
the Stewart resolution.
The correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch writes:
There is no doubt now Of the for
nation of new party, composed of
conservatives throughout the coun-
try, to uphold and endorse the prin-
ciples set forth by the President in
his recent declarations of the method
in which he intended to administer
the Government. Several leading
Republican members of Congress
who have very recently had inter
views with the President, and dis
cussed this measure, have given in
their adherence, and in very few
days its objects will be made known,
and the principles publicly an
nounced. Messrs. Raymond, Doo-
little, Cowan, and others prominent
before the country, are said to have
been consulted, and have given adj
vice upon the subject. Several lead
ing men were in conversation with
the President yesterday, and it is sur
missed that the new conservative ele-
ment was the theme of extended
remarks. The radicals fear the
strength of the opposition, and it is
a knowledge Of recent movements
which induced Stevens to say recent
ly that in three years the Govern
ment would be in the hand, of the
rebels and their Northern allies.
