The Plan of Action for the Session.

The Plan of Action for the Session.
The Republican members of the House of
Representatives held caucus last evening,
at which general plan of operations for the
session was agreed upon. The following are
the measures proposed
FIRST. To pass bill regulating the organization
OF the House, directing the Clerk to place no names
on the roll from States not represented in the pre-.
Cedng Congress or declared entitled to representa-
llon, and providing that no electoral votes shall be
counted from any state not represented at the time
in Congress
second, 10 pass bill remodviog the detect in the
law which may prevent any State from canyassing
tue votes for President and VIce-President
Third. 70 pass law changing the time of the
meeting OF every congress, with view 10 assem-
our h. o raise special committee for the rigid
investigation of the New Orleans riot, the
lives destroyed, the property burned, and TO what
extent Government officials were involved therein
The committee to have power to send for persons
and papers, to be accompanied by the serg eant-at.
aims, and to report appropriate legislation.
the proceedings under the laws for the collection OF
direct taxes in the Rebel States and the and
sale Of abandoned and coniiscated lands and other
Sixth The Committee on Pensions to INQUIRE
whether any pensioners in the dis oyal states struck
from the pension rolls have been restored in voa.
ton of law.
Seventh A special committee to investigate the
facts connected with the release of the murdeIers of
the Union soldiers IN South Car0na recently set at
large bv the Delaware Judge
MIR. Raymond, of New York, was present,
and took part in the proceedings. His right
to do so being challenged on account of his
connection with the Philadelphia August
Convention, he asserted that he entered the
Convention to strengthen the Union party,
thinking it should be more conservative than
it was i but when he found the Convention
likely to lead to the defeat of the Union
party, he abandoned it, and had ever since
done his utmost to maintain and support the
Union party. He also said that he approved
of the measures reported to the caucus. 1t
will be seen that nothing is said OF impeach-
ment, though several OF the topics to be in
vestigated are such as would naturally be the
groundwork of such movement.

AN IMPORTANT BILL. - The House of
Representatives yesterday passed very i'm
portant bill, providing that where citizen
of the United States who always remained
loyal thereto, and did not voluntarily give aid
or encouragement to persons engaged in re-
bellion, shall bring an action to recover
damages for injury to person or property, or
the value thereof no such action shall be
defeated, nor any defense allowed, by virtue
Of the authority of the late so-called Confede-
rate States, or of any State declared in
rebellion.

power placed in the hands of the Republican
party. The history OF all past political
organizations furnishes us with examples of a
party drunken with power and success being
slain by far weaker adversary. The triumph
of the young Republican organization was
secured because of the confidence OF its oppo-
nents in their own time .honored strength.
Careless of consequences, reckless in its
actions, because it deemed its foundations
sure, it acted boldly, and it FELL and great
was the fall of it. Ancient history teens
with similar incidents. Every kingdom of
barbaric times underwent the same process
of growth, the same security Of power, the
same sudden decay. Belief in strength, and
founding action on might rather than right,
is the usual precursor of a coming defeat.
Let us, then, as a party adopt the motto
of the sacred page, "Let him who thinketh
that he standeth, take heed lest he fall"
Congress, as the representative of the people,
armed with the exercise of their will, has
mighty responsibility. 1t may be resistless
engine for good, or a potent instrument for
evil. Hasty and crude legislation can do
more harm than an excess of sloth and indo-
lence. There is no fear to-day but that the
impetus given to the radicals will be sufli-
cient to urge them forward quite rapidly
enough. While the last session continued,
we urged action, but now we feel assured
that, to use homely simile, "It is better for
safety to put down the brakes rather
than put on an additional head
OF steam." We are advancing with
sufficient speed. What we want now is some
thing to act as ballast, and make the ship of
state ride firmly. The Senate will, we doubt
not fulfil its legitimate functions, and restrain
the passions of the lower House. But, for its
own sake, we do not desire to see the Repre-
sentatives continue to act in the manner
which the resolution quoted foreshadows.
We have the power, we have the will. We
can well afford to act with dignity, and, after
due deliberation, so decide as our consciences
and the good Of our common country demand

suggestions for stacking Hay.

AS the season for making hay is
now upon our farmers, we give the
following suggestions for stacking
which may be found Of great benefit
to all interested:
Lay four rails on the ground as II
for building a pen within the space
thus encloused, set upright three
other rails, the upper ends tied to-
gether, and the lower spread like a
tripod, so as to stand firmly. Build
the stack around the upright rails,
and the result is you have a chimney
or ventilator in the center, which will
secure free circulation Of air thro'
the stack. Following this method,
hay may be safely stacked when only
wilted little after cutting, and very
valuable time may be saved in the
season when farmers are most driven,
by thus expediting the haying.

War PropAesied By Peace Mea.

In many Of our Coppcrhead ex
changes, we find declarations to the
effect that unless the Radicals change
their course, another civil war may
be expected. These foolish people
think that with the South to back
them, it may be possible to intimi
date those who have been fighting for
the Union for the past five years
We do not think that the cowardly
wretches mean what they say, but it
Is said and written with such earn
estness, that 1t commands some little
attention.
On the 18th inst, at Copperhead
meeting at Reading, Pa, Montgom-
ery Blair was one of the speakers
During his speech he gave it as his
opinion that .should the radicals car
ry the elections in October, the re-
suit would be the establishment Of
two Presidents and two Congresses,
for the Radical sectional majority
would immediately impeach Presi-
dent johnson and turn him out, while
on the other hand, the Democratic
members Of Congress would unite
with the regular elected members
from the South. He also warned his
hearers that that they were on the
verge OF another civil war, the battle
aeld Of which would be the North
while the South would remain united
He disclaimed speaking for any sen
sstionsl purpose, but earnestly warn
ed the people against the evil effects
Of stampering with the Fundamental
laws Of the land" The question now
arises, will the people Of the loya
Northern States endure to be told
that il the Union candidates are
elected in October and November,
the North will be the scene OF civil
war, begun by the defeated party and
the South. These threats have come
from this source before, and arc sim
the courage of towards, but as the,
may be instrumental in exciting 9th
ers to bloodshed, those who are gull
ty Of promulgating such doctrines
should be closely watched.

The Tennessee Members.

The admission Of Tennessee nei.
ther adds to nor diminishes the
strength of the Union party in Con
gress, the delegation being evenly
divided between the two parties
Mr.. Fowler, the Senator for the long
term, is a Unionist, and Patterson
{ short term) follower Of johnson.
It may be that Mr.. Patterson will not
be allowed to take his seat, as he can
not lake the test oath, having been
during the war rebel conscript com.
missioner. II he is declared ineligi
lie, sound Unionist, probably Mr..
Arnell will be elected in his stead,
which will make a Union gain in the
Senate where it is most needed.
The Representatives elect orc
Maynard, Stokes, Arnell, Hawkins
Campbell, Cooper, Leftwick and Tsy
Ilor--the first four are UniOnists, ant
the last four Coppcrheads. Cooper
is the Private Secretary Of the Pres
ident, and is the man who by bargain
and sale attempted to defeat the rati
fication of the Amendment by thu
Tennessee Legislature.

ed by the Upton Advertiser. In
one case an Irish couple were married
at the Catholic Church, who had
never met until at Hymen's altar,
two visits TO the bride from the bro
ther of the bridegroom efecting all
the courting, In the other, two hus.
bands traded wives, one giving the

didn't like that style and drove the
husband who received the "boot''
from the county with his new wife,
The other couple yet remain.

Died OF Want.

The Cincinnati Enquirer thus states
the truth:
What the President wants just
now, above all things, is popular sup
port-popular approval Of his policy;
and that expression Of appreciation
can be given with the greatest power
at the regular elections for State and
county officers, when no Congress
men are to be elected"
That's it exactly. He wants pop.
ular approval of his policy, but alas
he can't get it. A great many men
have failed in public life for want OF
the same thing. II JEFF Davis could
have got popular support in the
North, he would have been President
Of the whole country, and the editor
Of tine Enquirer would have been
Postmaster at Cincinnati. Mcclellan
lacked popular support, and in con.
sequence thereof, went to Europe
and fastening upon Benedek, the
Austrian General, by his advice con.
tributed to the late crushing defeat
of his friend, and finally, popular
support is what President johnson
lacks, and what he will continue te
lack. He is receiving large variety
Of unpopular support, however. =
