WASHINGTON, January II.

THE ATTACK OF SENATOR WADE.
The threatening demonstration made on Sc
nat0r Wade last Wednesday night was by Il
man well known TO another Senator, upon
whom he called 4 short time after leaving Mr.
Wade. but not in the way of menace. The OF
fender is from Massachusetts and has hereto
fore been in trouble both here and elsewhere.
The story of the @TOHicie about symptoms OF
renewed rebellion, because of the strange con-
duet of some fellow who drew 4 knife when in
Senator WadcS room, Is rldlculcd for the rea-
/ son thar the Groaicie has imposed two big
/ huaXCS upon this community. One was the
/ Griffin tale. and the other the alleged cruelty
: of Texas physicians TO the brother OF Andrew
/ Johnson. The same fearful fellow that waited
upon Wade subsequently called on Senator
wilson BnHthtort SIN
tit seems from the above that we We're not
wrong in pronouncing the assassination article

J SUFFRAGE IL THE DISTRICT.
1t is stated that the committee to whom the
/ subject of negro suffrage in this District is re-
ferred, cannot agree upon any particular Dlll,
and will, therefore, report the bill back TO the
House. | don't know that this is so, but1t Is
not unlikely. In m judgment, the House VIII
not agree 10 general negro suffrage If the COM
mittce should report 10 that effect. Moreover,
the President will veto such Il bill to a Ger
taintv, and no two-thlrds vote can be got
! against the veto.
Opposition in the Senate TO any qualification
of the proposed negro suffrage i'll this District
has manifestly increased. The proposition to
apply the qualification of reading, writing,
etc. 10 all voters, white as we'll rs black, has
failed in committee. But an amendment will
be offered to the bill, rs reported, which will
exempt from the qualification those whites
! who are now voters, and enforce 1t Ill regard
10 the blacks.
SOUTHERN REPRRsESTATIoS
Few if any members from the "scccdcd
States rs they are termed by the late House
resolution, will, from present appearances, he
admitted with radical consent until The blacks
in those States shall be endowed with political
rights. This is the question OF the day, every
other being subordinate 10 il.
In the dchatcS-tlEat is, the delivery OF
speeches already written-thiS week, the IRE
sidrnt'S Cancellation policy VIII he bitterly at
tackled. The Southern representatives ana
their constituents will probably generally pre-
fer 10 forcgo admission al present rather IMAM
bc subject to the unequal terms proposed by
incquitable radicals, until the people OF the
country shall have time TO speak again on the
subject.-torTeSp"ndence SIN.
