The Republicans are just now endcavol-

regard to the admission of tennessee,
careful. however. to have matters arranged,
so that whatever side turns up they WIZ
reap success. The preamble adopted py
m. Senate as an amendment TO the HOUSE,
resolution allowing the unfortunate stare
"a resume her privileges as a member oi
hi I-n;on. and which was to-day agreed
,nhv the lower branch, asserts iaisehood
which il need not be expected the lresi-
5.,t can assent to that is, in declaring the
supremacy of Congress IN the question OF
admitting the excluded States to their just
privileges, and also asserting that the pco-
nle of Tennessee had, in proper form, rati-
lied the constitutional amendment. The
preamble is six times as long as the bill,
and is proposed with design to either in
ducc the President to veto the bill, or
rctracc his past record and sign it, thus
giving retraction of all the principles
which he is cndcavoring to inculcate i'll the
great measure of reconstruction.
The Radicals arc hard at work trying to
corner the President; but it will be found

Speaker, and the Radical majority, rs a
proof of how very sincere they are in tiieF
desire TO have Tennessee in the Union,

usual hearty style.
The case of Ex-Governor Randall has

to-day Mr.. Stansbury was confirmed IN
short order. Randall will not be rejected,
though some are disposed to believe no
action whatever will be taken on his name.
He is now to all intents and purposes
Postmaster and III the discharge
of his duty as such. Had the Attorney
General as much patronage at his disposal
rs the Postmastcr-G General, it is possible
that his name might yet be before the
committee but he has only about dozen
clerkships in his gift, and it is not proba-
bic that there will be any change in his
Office excepting that of the Assistant Al
torney- General.
Mr.. Speed yet remains in Washington,
but will get in readiness TO leave by Thurs
day next.
The President has been very busy OF
late in the consideration of the numerous
applications for official position which have
been laid before him during the winter, and
daily sends quite number OF appoint
mcnts to the Senate. To-day those sent
were mostly postmasterS. very lew per

tive for lengthy period.
Both Houses OF Congress are in session
