THE QUESTION
LATEST FROM wAsHty,s y,sGroN.
Special to The Evening Tt ,ovr0D,,

Special 10 The Evening Tt IoxraDb.
WASHINGTON, February IL. III is stated that
the Committee of Fifteen S getting ready to re-
port in favor of the readT ,sgion of the state OF
Tennessee by bill; not deciding upon the quail
fcations of the mev .lbers and Senators elect;
leaving that queStP IN to the respective Commit
tees on Elec'lo' s; and readmitting Tennessee
as state py Act of Congress. The matter is
discussed ID political circles with much interest
and the qr .estion is asked on what theory Con-
eress, ap .er having admitted Tennessee without
any tu ,her guarantees, can delay the rea1mission
OF thu other States? The explanations the Com
init Zee will give this point are looked for with
ouch curiosity
Provided there be any truth in the rumor at
all, there are many earnest men here who look
upon Tennessee as the Troia horse, which will
carry in all Rebellion concealedin ITS belly; and
! am trustworthilv informed, this IS the view
taken OF il at the White House, Us well as among
the Democrats and Southern delegations. They
openly boast that Tennessee is to be used as the
entering wedge, and that afterwards there will
be no common ground of principle TOR the Re
publcans upon which to oppose the invasion of
the dsloyal pro-9lavery element. The move
meats of the Committee of Fifteen, however, are
kept secret, and nothing certain can be said
about them.

Special Correspondence of Tie EUening Telegraph.
,s New YORK, February II.
The weather is still very cold. Ice has formed
to the thickness OF eight inches, and skating is
excellent. EW
the stock market is strong this morning, and
Governments are firm. Gold opened az 1879,
weak. The depression in gold is PLAYING hob
with the markets. Everything is dull and prices
have a downward tendency.
The Hon. Benjamin f. Manerre was yesterday
chosen Police Commissioner by the Legisla-
ture, UiCe William McMurray. Mr.. Manierre did
not fympathze with the rioters who burned the
ColoTed Orphan Asylum in July, 1868.
During the past week the Surrogate has ad-
mitted TO probate the wills OF the following
named persons:-ThOmas 7. Guion, William
Webb, Lawrence Lennon, Ebenezer Seelay,
John Bell, Ann Burrell, Catharine BalGz,
Anne B. Griswold, Euphemia Ogden. None of
the above wills contain any provisions OF public

The number of valentines set down as deli
vered on the 14th and 10th instant is over
63,000 which does not include the very many
thousands under the modest wrappngs of the
ordinary envelope. Doubtless the number of
these mssves of love or folly and .frolc will
reach 100000. Who would believe there we're
so many malcontents in these peaceful times?

CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, February II.
House of Representatives.

: To-day was devoted TO speoch-making.
Mr.. Cook (lL) argued that the power of re-
oognizing the seeding States as in the Union
rests with Congress. When the military power
can safely be withdrawn, and these States re-
main peaceably in the Union of their own
accord, and not by force, and the Union men
and freedmen do not require military force to
recoenized; but no military power could set
aside the enactments and judicial decisions of
the States fully in the Union. While these acts
were necessary, the State shonld not be recog.
nized.
Judge Lawrence, of Ohio maintained that the
ordinances OF secession were null and void that
no State was ever out of the Union. but that all
lawful State government was destroyed in the
Rebel States; that when the Rebel governments
were overthrow the people were left without
any State governments; that it is the duty OF
Congress TO guaran' 'ee it, and until this is done
there can be no la wful State government and no
representation in Congress.

East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1866-10-18
Opinion of a Maine Clergyman.

A Northern clergyman, who has
lately been travelling through the
South, writes from Georgia to one Of
his congregation at Kennebunkport,
Me-, giving pastors view" of
Southern affairs, in which, after char
acterizing the spirit of some radical
leaders as "abominable," no says,
"tho policy of denying representation
Furnishes whole masses of Southern
people, who neither noed or deserve
punishment - they have already suf-
fered enough. All the bitterness and
disloyalty that may exist can be more
perfectly overcome by magnanimity
than by severity. AS regards the
blacks, this denial Of representation
will surely secure their utter misery,
if not their extirpation. The colored
people are unprepared for the ballot.
They can only use it as a child would
fire-arms--to their own injury, and
an attempt to exercise tho right of
suffrage on their part would surely
cause war Of races. No true friend
of the negro would wish him to vote
at present. That they may make an
intelligent use Of their freedom, let
them be educated. This is the only
hopeful work that the nation can on
gage in for their benefit. Any inter-
ference with the interior concerns of
the State will be disastrous"
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1866-10-18

The nomination Of Mr.. b. Bradley
for Senator in the 9th District is a
choice eminently fit to be made. Mr..
Bradley is well known resident
formerly Mayor of Bay City, and one
of the best and most sagacious bust
ness men on the Lake Shore. Never
having taken a prominent part in pol
itics, Mr.. Bradley has no impediments
in the way of making good canvass,
and with his usual energy, and clear
sighted determination to succeed, he
should not fail of an election. His
eh,ef competitor, Col. j. II. Richardson,
Of Iascold, is good man, and had some
claims, bit these are gracefully yielded 10
Mr.. Bradiel on account of his personal
qualities and his more central location
in the district. We hope the Repub-
leans of the 9th will now pull to-
gether heartily and thus secure the
services in the Senate of their excel
lent nominee. Eatryrise, Tuesday 9th.
Mr.. b. bradley, "well-known resi-
dent" Lake Shore man." who is he?
His chief competitor, Gen. Richardson,
gracefully yielded after nineteen ballot
ings. He cheerfully subsidized when
knocked down by brute force. Ho is
a very lamb-like gentleman it would
appear from the above, and he got
beautifully famed in the arrangement.
BY the rules Of his party he is bound
10 be delighted. We hope he is so
delighted.

" BEAsTLINEss."

The elegant Enterprise is wonderful
" shocked at the beastiiness" THAT
is the word, of those who speak Of
Mr.. briggs record-especially in his
absence In its opinion, it shows had
education and a degree of turpitude
perfectly inconpivi.s~sih'e. We sym
pathize with it, it is so Addisonian in
its tastes, so delicate il its sensitivities,
so welded to the proprieties of refin-
ed journalistic art. To speak of our
honorable member in language that
does not overflow with the exquisite
reinements and high literary polish
of that journal, is shocking to its ten
der nerves. But we can't do it owing,
no doubt, to faulty education and in
ferior scholarship. (The Enterprise, of
course, is of Lord Chesterfeld's
school-and rery profound. For proof
-ride its late issues.) We speak Of
Mr.. briggs in a common sort of way
Just as truth will permit. May be the
people will understand. We say that
he voted to put more than TWO THOU
SAND DOLLARS, per annum, into his
y
own pocket as additional pay, when
before his salary was all that an hon-
est citizen could ask for the services
rendered that by SO voting ms added
further and unnecessary burden to
the already overtaxed people of his
district, and this for no benefit to them
or the country, but simply to enrich
himself at their expense, and that his
attempted apology therefor was hypo-
critical, peurile and disgusting. We
say further, that his shameful aban-
donment of the agricultural interests
of the Enthusiastically those of the
wool-growers-in bargain with the
corrupt manufacturers of the East,
was treachery to his own constituents
and proves him to be unworthy of
their confidence or support.
If Mr.. briggs is absent, we ash
pardon of the sensitively elegant and
esthetical Enterpriie-if he is present
will that sheet speak for him on these
points A word from its pen would
be so far removed from Jeastluess.y

Congress, by vote nearly uiani-
nous passed the following resolution
at tho extra session Of 1861, which
expresses the voice Of the nation and
is the true standard of loyalty:
"That the present deplorable ,ivil
war has boon forced upon the country
by the disunionists Of the Southern
States, now in arms against the con-
stitutional Government, and in arms
around the capital; that in this ma
tional emergency, Congress, banisling
all feelings of mere passion and re-
sentiment, will recollect only its luty
to the whole country; that this wir is
not waged on their part in any pirit
of oppression or for any purpose of
conquest or against the institutions of
those States, but to defend and main
tain the supremacy of the Contitu-
ton and to preserve the Union with
all the dignity, equality, and rights Of
the several States unimpaireds apSl
that as soon as these objects are nc
