within the past week between the hxecuuSe
and the men who he believes are doing all tnai
can be done TO prevent the re-essablshment OF
harmonious relations between the different
states OF the Union. The war for space has
failed, and there Is now strong disposition to
heal all disagreement, and 1t would not be out
OF the range Of probability IL before the end
OF the present session, there should be found
majority OF the members endorsing the views
OF the President relative 70 the admission OF
the Southern representatives even to modi-
icstion or repeal entirely, Of the iron clad test
oath, which modification Mr.. Johnson Is re-
ported to be In favor Of. The pressure OF pub
lie opiniou Is the cause Of all this. The people
are beginning to ask their representatives,
what 10 to be the policy, why Tennessee Is not
admitted ETC.; and the questioned parties are
at loss for satisfactory answers. A fact
never was palmer than that the Radicals are
losing ground daily. Conversions In the De-
partments here to the Presidents policy are
becoming numerous. The summary removal
OF one or two individuals has been strong
incentive to the change OF faith.

instances efforts to get up meetings for the
purpose Of denouncing the President have
proven to be failures. hear Of one from
Kansas, wherein it is stated that, by large
majority, an effort to pass resolutions TO this
effect was defeated.
Private caucuses among Republican mem
bers of Congress are Of nightly occurrence
There seems TO be no disposition TO agree upon
carrying on the war which has been inaugua-
ted. Many of these deliberations are said to
be carried on in very bad temper, and the
probability is that very soon il will become
plainly manifest how thorough the division is
in the ranks of the majority.
Cabinet matters remain in the same position,
whilst the public is on tiptoe OF expectation
with regard to the promised changes. Stanton
holds on brayely, despite the fire in the rear
It is not so definitely known that he is not in
accord with the President, as it is that the
Secretary Of the Interior is not; but the as
surances that he will retire to position less
prominent are more wide spread than those
with regard to the other official. TIMoN.
