WAS DooLITTLE RIGHT

Senator Doolittle characterized the
Reconstruction bill as a measure to
"create hell in the South. When oil
the faggots and matches had been pre-
pared, Congress adjourned to witness the
effect The flames mounted pretty high,
and reared and hissed but the exhibit
ton did not realize the Radical idea of
a full, big, round, bursting hell. II was
discovered that here and there several
damned souls were escaping through
apertures left by mistakes of the archi-
tects of ruin. There were places the
flames did not close up, and there,
from his cool retreat, Thad.
Stevens saw thousands rushing
and toiling and struggling. The fear
became imminent that general hell
delivery would take place. Dsmay sat
on the faces of the Radical party The
glare of the conhagration revealed terror
in the features Of Butler, Banks, Ashley,
Maynard, and the rest. The aorid New
York Herald appeared CHASTITY in the
reflected light, and the smell of sulphur
came too feebly into the nostrils of the
great novelist, parson and politician,
Beecber. The glare from the sulphurous
South fell with sickly rays on Bunker
Hill monument-so sickly and so dim
that Sumner could not read his rhetorical
platitudes by the light.
The hell was not a success. The ave-
nues Of escape must all be closed up,
more sulphur must he tossed down to the
depths, and a world of matches flung in
after it. johnson thought the work more
than complete. He could perceive no
avenue of escape. Stanbery, a little
keener-sighted, thought he perceived
here and there mistake, not in the
plan, but in the execution. These he
pointed out 1t was unfortunate that he
did so, but circumstances left him no al
tentative. Congress hastens to reassem-
bic, and chooses the dog days, when the
ais clustering and disease is prostrating
the world, in which to mend the holes
and close up the avenues of escape.
The time is most appropriate to the bus.
mess to be done Dog days are most
proper to break faith, to forge chains Of
oppression and TO test the quality Of sui
phur. All nature SINNERS and burns
in harmony. Disease, famine, despair,
are the proper condition of subjects
to be tortured They cannot resist.
Men chain those whom misfortune pros
trates. Malice exults over than, and
commissions Persecution to execute its
sentence It is a grand sight. 1t is a
spectacle that only America can pro-
duce.

THE JULY SESSION.

A radical Washington correspondent
writes "The publication of the Attorney
Generals opinion on the powers Of the
district commanders, seems to convince
a majority of Republicans that a July
session Of Congress will be necessary.
Every Republican newspaper received
here from the North to-day condemns the
opinion, and takes the ground that if the
President acts in accordance therewith,
a summer session must be held. The
Herald goes further, and says it is plain
there can be no true reconstruction till
johnson is impeached and removed. The
officers Of Congress evidently thiuk there
may be a session, for the work Of put
ting beth chambers in complete order
was begun to-day Monday. Vice Pres
ident Wade aud Speaker Colfax are ex-
pected here in about ten days"
