The officers of tho United States forces sta
toned in Virginia recently gave bail Ill kich'

ginis ladies. Some saw fit TO attend, Others TO
stay away, as it was their perfect right to do
The Richmond EIaminsr had On account OF this
ball which held up every lady thus attending to
scorn and loathing, as recreant TO tho memory
of her dead kindred, false TO her native State,
and callous to every noble impulse. more

aminer The Editor came to Washington
and persuaded the President to over
rule Gen. Grant and let him resume his issues.
To effect this, he told the President that the
report OF the bail "was written by local re-
porter, and without my (Pollard's) knowledge,
and rally in spirit Of fun" Now. as The
Examiner made boast that the Ieport had sold
its entire edition, and that copies could no
longer be furnished, we must think that it, con-
ceptions of veracty seem about on par with
its notions of fun. The fun evinced in the ball

The House yesterday was the sceDe-by
no means ior the first tme-of an e0or. By d
factious and turbulent minority to arrest leg
islation and defeat the known will of n majority
We rejoice to say that the effort was a
total failure--the minority displaying not even
that poor merit Of persistent courage in bad
cause which might have redeemed their effort
from attempt and elevated il to position
deserving some indignation. Mr.. Stevens
from the Committee on Reconstruction,
reported concurrent resolution that
no Senator nor Representative shall be admit
ted into either branch Of Congress from any o!
the Eleven States heretofore in insur
rection until Congress shall have de-
cared such States entitled to repre-
sentation. The fllibuStering on thi.
resolution tasted from one o'clock until seven
but was worn out by the evident determine
ton of the majority to assert its rights. 1t i
due, also, to Speaker Colfax, to say that hi
kept tight rein on the eccentncitieS of the
minority, and that his prompt application o
parliamentary law contributed to bring the
disOrganzers to a complete discontinue by
reason Of their ignorance how to conduct such
contest according to rule.
The resolution which the House passed goes
to-day 10 the Senate, and VIC are entitled t.
presume that the majority which yesterday
resisted the dictation of the Executive,
will prove strong enough, and loyal
enough, and devoted enough. to pass it. In
which event, We may predict that the Legislation
of this country is TO be guided in future by men
devoted to the welfare ofthe country and will not
be speedily surrendered into the hands
of any whose loyalty is doubtful OF
whose connection with the Rebellion il
either immediate or remote - either
during the war or subsequent thereto.
The nation is to be cordially congratulated on
the firm temper which the House thus mani
tested

KENTUCKY.

The Rebel army tried repeatedly TO take
Kentucky during the War, but failed. Since
the War stopped, they have tried again, and
succeeded. Twenty thousand paroled prisoners
from Lees. .JohnstOn's and Hoods armies are
now the arbtcrs of the State, which has be.
come more heartily Rebel than South Carolina.
Thus, elections were recently held in the dis
tricts nearest Cincinnati for Senators; and
the candidates supported by the Rebels
succeeded in EACH The Union vote
was large as ever before; but the Copperhcad,
swclled by the returned Rebels, overbalanced
it, South Carolina has ratified the COnstitl-
iional Amendments Kentucky repeatedly and
contemptuously rejects it. The State will never
again eivo so heavy a pro.Slsvery majority az
she gave Mcclellan; but she will probably give
Twenty Thousand majority next year, and con.
sign her negroes to virtual Slavery by acts OF
her next Legislature. She has not been
whipped; South Carolina has, and by 30 mnoh
tho better for it. Kentucky badly needs recon.

Two.thirds of the Senators present not having
voted in tho affirmative. the bill is dead
Had the President indicated certain points as
Objectionable, while he approved of the general
scope and spirit Of the bill, We should have
hoped for its amendment in conformity with his
views; but his objections are so broad, 80
sweeping, so radical, that it were idle to attempt
20 obyiate them. He will sign no Frecdmcn's
Bureau bill whatever; and we begin to fear
that Mr.. Trumbull's bill, extending National
protection to the Freedmen in their civil rights
AS non-voting citizens, will also be vetoed. In
short, it looks as though the President had made
up his mipd to go the whole hog with those who
predict that the Blacks cannot live among us
except as slaves, and who are striving 10 make
good their prediction.
But, while the prospect is thus clouded, We
entreat the majority in either House to act con.
siderately, moderately, temperately. Where
