WASHINGTON, April IL, 1866.
Prominent Republican members of Congress
have asserted lately that the idea of enforcing
mon the southern States, without their con
sent. an extension of the elective franchise,
has been abandoned in caucus as detrimental
to party interests-that this recognition of the
rights of man will come in its own time, and
for the present the subject must be delayed
At the same time--strangely inconsistent with
these yiews--it is stated that there is no doubt
of the passage by the Senate of the House bill
extending the privilege to the multitude oi
freedmen in this District If this bill passes
il will certainly be vetoed, and 4 prospect Oh Il
triumph over the Executive in that IS very
questionable Many of the Republicans en-
dorse Lanes proposition for allowing '"oS'
negroes to vote who read, and write ana pay
tayes on two hundred and fifty dollars worth
of nroperty This is one of the subjects which
the Radicals seem determined TO settle in one
way or the other before the adjournment
Mr.. Orth, of Indiana, has echoed the e\-
pressed plans of quite n number of Radicals III
stating that Congress will remain here until II
has things settled satisfactorily, rs he did 10 Il
marty of serenaders last night. Others quite
rs misunderstanding from their votes, so iar-
will do all in their power 10 get away by the
lst of June. There is great apprehension
among them that removals i'll office VIII com
mence a. soon as the members leave for nome
Inst now il seems rs if all rumors on the sub
i.ct are treated with ridicule. NO one pays
any attention 10 them. rs the general behei Is
that the President is waiting for Congress 10
adjourn TO commence operations with the EN-
ecutive axe.
Ii is stated to-day positively that before the
end of the present week the announcement
will be made Of an appointment to the New
York collec torship. 1t will be welcome when
ii does come, as, ever since the passage OF the
Civil Rights bill over the veto, speculation has
been at fever heat regarding the political
character of the party to be appointed. The
Radicals say he must be a Republican 10 be
confirmed: but whether a Stevens Republican
or a Johnson man is left for future proof
The report which will be made of the condi-
ton of the southern States by Generals
Steedman and Fullerton, who have left here
on 4 tour OF Official observation. VIII h''t
great weight with the President, as he has
every confidence in the ability and Judgment
of Chose officers. II has been stated that Full
lerton was TO be appointed his private secre'
tary, whilst Steedman's name has been more
prominently mentioned as the successor TO Mr..
Stanton than any other. GOur correspondent
will see from yesterdays Disi"f" that w"
were expecting this paragraph
However farcical the Fenian movement may
be- recent developments have caused appre-
tensions that their Vaccinations will involve
this Government in serious difficulty, and it
is expected that, in consideration of the last
ing fright of the Canadians and the practical
view the British Government is taking of the
subject Mr.. Seward will soon have Il word TO
say which will change the aspect of affairs
very materially. IlMoN.
