This resolution, Matched into life on the day
after The President made his great speech
announcing to the people Of the country ms
stern determination not to wander single
iota from the line of policy he has marked oa'
for his guidance In re-establishing the consul
,ntional relations of all the States, was In
tended. among other things, to deprive the
Executive OF the veto power on question
row of more importance than any other, and
its passage will in no instance tend towards
lessening the breach there is so settled pur-
pose among many Of the Republicans 70 neal
il possible; and the President regards 1t In
just exactly its proper light-a hit at the
cardinal point of the policy OF restoration.
General Steadman, whose name has been SO
prominently before the country in connection
with the Office Of Secretary OF war, yet re-
mains in Washington. He was once on the
point Of leaving, since his arrival rev DAYS
since, but remained In accordance Win
request Of the President.
The hitch in the trial Of Captain Semnes
occasions considerable speculation. lis hard
10 understand why il is not commenced, par
ticularly as IL is understood, and Us has been
stated in a previous letter OF your CORES
pondent, that orders were given by the Presi-
dent for an appointment Of a Board, to consist
Of army and navy officers, the latter predomi-
mating in number. As the Judge Advocate has
been very indu strious in completing his ar
rangements, 1t is difficult TO state why matters
have not been brought to some conclusion ere
this.
Interesting statements have been made with
regard TO the coin removed from the banking
houses of Richmond when that place was
evacuated by the Confederate army. What
part Of IL escaped plunder-about one hundred
thousand dollars--will be restored to the claim
ants by the United States authorities rs soon
as the necessary proofs of identity are fur
nished.
1t is mentioned that the State OF Tennessee
is to be admitted into the Union-which she
has never, according to the Executive doctrine,
been out of-under certain conditions; In re-
quiring which, the purpose is not to allow any
detraction from Radical dignity in the last
great act Of condescension. What these
conditions are, I have not been informed
further than that there ,oiU be an attempt to
impose them as the the price of her admission.
