WASHINGTON, June q, 1866.
The issue between the President and the
Radicals is now very clearly defined. Inc
latter after weary months OF doubt, uh-
certainty. and waverings. propose 10 u'i..
all their differences upon the report o' 'n'
Committee ON Reconstruction and ia. P''-
nosea constitutional amendment wh'i .,as
cmans,.d ,hcreirom. The President nous
fss, IA hi, own policy, and cannot oc shaSeh'
no,wi,hs,anding the periodical advance
n,entS which are being made by the eS-
,ror,;s,s anxions 10 conciliate his favor.
Tow months past il has not been the OPT
MON Of a single man that the present Con
oress would agree upon anything as basis
Of restored Union which would allow the
south representation. Passion rules the
day too strongly to admit Of any concilia-
ton On the part of those who are under Inc
complete control and subsection OF Stevens,
and unless non-rcprcscntative men could,
bv any possibility, come from the south as
the choice of her people, the probabilities
of representation for two years at least are
very uncertain. One thing Is sure cifil
Laws is TO be paramount: and TINS Is bless
ing which, despite the disposition OF Con
ercss, will assuredly hold full sway. Inc
people will learn soon that the industr!
and productive advantages OF the southern
States are not TO be despiscd. That must
assert its power, and in this the President
trusting to the good common sense through
out the northern and western States, re.
poses great confidence. Ii his policy should
fall, he goes with it, for in its truth ne has
embarked everything.
II has long been the intention 10 bring
ND in the Senate the House bill extending
the elective franchise in this District. The
superior importance Though both are
extreme radical projccts) OF the subject
which has been under consideration for the
pas. two weeks prccludcd the introduce
lion of bill for the purpose. The adro-
Gates of the suffrage scheme are now
endcavoring to have il acted upon with as
little delay AS possible, and predict It's
passage in slightly amended shape from
which il passed the House by this they
hope 10 obtain the signature OF the PrcSl.
dent. The bill can pass the Senate as II
came from the House if the attempt is
made, though il is questionable if it car
go through By the requisite vote 10 enable
It's passage again over veto, which II
would be sure toreCeivc.
Next week the Colorado question Will
in all probability come up again. a strong
effort has been made 10 muster two-third
vote on it with very indifferent success
The trouble is only in the Senate, there
being no doubt of the indisposition OF the
House 10 count at least two-thirds when
the objections of the President are TO be
overcome.
Very few doubts are entertained that
Mr.. Davis will soon be released from con-
fnement. The President has not said
word TO any one to warrant this impress
sion; bu, at the same time he has not
made an assertion lately which will give
authority for the denial Of the probability.
Il Is we'll known that it has been his ardent
desire 10 have the trial proceeded with
forthwith, and the postpOnelnent OF 1t, ~
Is universally known, is from no fault OF
his. The next week or TEN days must
throw light upon this important topic.
