tion Committee Of Fifteen be taken as an
instance. In the FIRST place, no step what
ever can be taken in Congress, as a body,
toward reconstruction, until it has been
submitted to this Committee. 1t manages,
controls, and directs all proceedings, from,
the smallest to the most important, in rela-
ton to this subject. Say that an indepen-
dent member brings forward resolution
for the admission Of Tennessee into Con-
gress. A Radical member would get up
and propose that it be referred to the Re-
construction Committee; the motion would
be carried, and the resolution would go to
the Committee, never to make its appear
ance again. The Committee would simply
"burke" it. This is no hypothetical case
the thing has been done over and over
again this session. / have watched the
process in scores Of instances since last
December. Nothing returns from these
Committees which the Radicals disapprove.
Consequently any man who throws himself
against the Radical party destroys his in
fuence and position. He stands alone, as
Mr.. Raymond does in the House at this
moment. Then the Committee meets TO-.
gether in secret, and agrees upon a certain
resolution. 1t is laid before the House or
Senate; Radical majority is there strong
enough to carry almost anything; the pre-
vious question is demanded, that no debate
shall take place, and the public outside be
kept in ignorance even of the bare fact
that there were members who wished to

to abuse the trust by perverting into base

with peculiar charms OF person are too apt
to employ those charms for unholy purpo

"How use doth breed q habit in a mani"
The Queen who staggers under a load of
jewels soon learns to despise the brilliant
things, and count them as dross. The flo.

geous array OF blossoms first exerted, and
regards them as mere matter of merchan

natural universe. And Man, walking in

that his former kindness is appreciated,

although every effort was made, even by
the publisher, to save him, it was all no
