EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
- A dispatch from Harrisburg,
Penn. says: In the State Senate today q
resolution was. passed by party Republi.
can vote, requesting Senator Cowan to re-
sign on the ground that he does not repre-.
sent the sentiments of a majority of the
people of Pennsylvania.
-Late kilograms from Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Missouri, and Connecticut
show that the Legislatures of these States
have adopted resolutions supporting the
Radicals in Congress, and condemning the
veto message of the President The oppo.
sition to the Administration in the North
West seems to be stronger than elsewhere
The speech of the Hon. A. H.
STEPHENS late Vice President of the Con.
federacy delivered by request before the
Georgia, Legislature is attracting much at.
tention. 1t was telegraphed in fall to New
York, and published there the day after
its delivery. 1t is bold in argument, but
conservative and patriotic. Mr.. STEPHENS
it will be remembered was, notwithstanding
his protest against it, almost unanimously J
elected to the U. S Senate from Georgia.
THE following brief history Of
the late war, gives better picture Of the
desperation of the struggle, than volumes
of history:
"In the late civil war 220 battles were
fought. In Virginia, 80; Tennessee, 81
Missouri, 35; Georgia, 12; South Carroll
ma, l6; North Carolina, IL; Alabama, 7;
Florida, 5; Kentucky, ID; the Indian Ter
ritory and New Mexico, one each. There
were also II naval engagements"
The concurrent resolution Of
Congress just adopted for the exclusion Of
the Southern delegations to that body, reads
as follows:
"Be it resolved by the House of Repre-
sentatives, Senate concurriDg, that in order
to close agitation upon question which
seems likely to disturb the action of the
Government, as we'll as to quiet the uncer
tainty which is now agitating the minds Of
the people of the eleven States which have
been declared to be in insurrectloD, no Sen
ator or Representative shall be admitted
into either branch of Congress from any o.
said States, until Congress shall have de-
clared such State entitled to such represen
tation."
- The President in bis speech on
the 22d ultimo, made an important an
uouncement relative to the time at which
the present Freedmen's Bureau, authorized
by the last session of Congress, will expire
1t was originally limited to one year aftel
the close of the rebellion. The President
takes the ground that "the close of the re-
bellion" will have to be hereafter announc
ed by proclamation, when all the States have
reorganized their governments, and tha
the Bureau will exist by law one year after
the date of such proclamation. Secretary
SEWARD in his New York speech gives the
Act the same Interpretation and assigns this
as one of the reasons for the veto of the
new measure.
Letter writing on political sub
jects is again getting popular. Ex.Gover
nor WISE, of Virginia, has written long
letter to FERNANDO WOOD, in which be
claims, in substance, that the South did moi
expect to leave the Union, except as revo.
lutiouary measure, by which her right:
might be finally secured iD the present one
WOOD replies with philosophic views
upon the changes produced by the war, and
the new order of things, cbaracterizing tue
times.
There is something altogether amusing il
the letter writing notoriety that so many
aspire to. A couple of men gravely BEL
down and write stupid letters to each otbel
get them published in the newspapers
fight out unimportant issues upon them
and thus force themselves into notice. Such
is the self constituted noteriety of half the
world
The irrepressible Fenians seen
to be soaring the Canadians again, and put

lose Ireland. The quartette of Irish Presi

and the new republic is announced as about
ready to be launched, and Aoated ovel
