A Palpable Hit.

The Charlottesville (Ya.) Chronicle thus
good humoredly speaks of the straits to
which the Southern States are driven by
the Radical DISTINGUISHES:
g It seems to US to be as hard to get in
the Union as it is to get out. The South
respectfully asks no more one way or the
other. We are like the fellow that was
forced to go to the show, and then not al
lowed to go any further than where he had
paid for his ticket. We have been dragged
into the doorway of the Federol tent, and
are not allowed to see any of the perform
ances except to settle with TIE tax collec-
tors. We can hear the snimals growing
inside, and the crackingof the ringmaster's
whip, but We can't see the show unless we
pay for two and take in a colored lady. And
the worst of it is, they keep great eagle
perched over the entrance, which, if you
attempt to go back, swoops down upon you
and picks a hole in your head. We justly
think this is unreasonable; they ought eth
er to leEus pass in or refund our money
and tie up the eagle.''cu aa

IRON WAsHTNGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-There are doubts
whether Kelly's House bill to create De-
partment of Internal Revenue, which aims
to take the control of the revenue from the
Treasury, can become law. II is at pre-
sent in the hands of the Ways and Means
Committee. Even if reported upon favor
ably, and passed by Congress, it is certain to
receive the Executive veto. 1t is the i'm
preston that it will be smOthered by the
committee.
There has been much discussion in Con-
gress upon bill to abrogate the State gov
ernments in the South.
The President was displeased at the tenor
of Napoleon's reply to telegram from the
State Department. The Cabinet, with one
exception, is understood to side with him
Doubtful as to whether further reconstruo-
ton can be made, the probabilities are thai
Napoleon will be allowed his own way
1t is limited that Napoleon's action in re-
fusing to withdraw from Mexico is mainly
because he regards our pledges Of neutral
ity and non-interyention broken.

In our Legislative report published yes
terday morning, il was stated that the
House Of Representatives had adopted q
revenue bill, reported from the COMMITTEES

revenue and the adjustment Of taxes

acted a law Of this charaeter which met

be remembered, however, that those who
are commissioned TO frame laws are sworn
against partial legislation, and it is to be
presumed they take in view q wider
field than those who regard such laws
from an individual stand point We
have not examined this measure criti-
cally, but are satisfied that il has been
prepared on just principles and after ma =
ture elaboration. Ii was drafted by Mr.

From C,eoreia and yireinia.

New York, Dec. S.-The Herald West
ern Georgia correspondent says, that since
the elections in the North, the people OF
that portion of the State are making up
their minds to submit to the will of the
majority. Their conduct towards Union
men has changed decidedly for the better,
and they now cheerfully acquiesee in the
plans for educating the negroes. There
energies are now bent on retrieving their
ruined fortunes, and they are now coope-
rating heartily in the erection Of manufac-
tories and railroads. The cotton and corn
crops have been failure, and the planters
universally complain of the laziness of the
negroes.
The HeralPs Richmond correspondent
says, there are a number Of members of the
Legislature who won't favor ratification Of
Unconstitutional amendment Ifthey could
be persuaded to show their hands, it would
be seen that the Governors influence in
that direction amounts to nothing.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette says in his dispatch Of
the 9th instant:
"The action Of the Republican caucus o.
the House last evening is regarded BY
leading Senators as settling that no special
committee will be raised at present to in
quire into moving an Impeachment Of the
President What may be done after va
rious other special committees have re-
ported, remains TO be SEEN"
Touching the same subject, the CORES
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
s'The absence Of any reference to the
question of impeachment in the caucns
last night, is the subject Of general remark
to-day, and is regarded BY many a. settling
all doubts in the premises. However this

dietary Committee win, in the language Of
Mr.. Boutwell,, inquire into the President
conduct"

dent because he did not administer the

There seemed TO be a general agreement on

difference of opinion as to when the other
sessions should begin. Some serious local
difficulties were found in the way Of meet
ing in March, but il was agreed that these
might be overcome. IL was understood
that there shall be a consultation before
Monday among Congressman from the
States whose elections do not occur prior
10 the 1st Of March, to see if any agreement
can be reached as 10 the details of the BILL

party to Keep Congress continually in SEES

no desire to make permanent change in
the time Of the meeting of Congress, at
least not to so early day as the 4th Of
