POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

BADLY EUCHRBD The New Orleans PiCdyune,
in answer to a circular inviting Southern card
players to a Euchre Congress, coniesses with
sorrow that we have been so badly euchered by
the present Federal Congress thatswe have come
to the conclusion that the South Is essentially
played out" The North holds both black
bowers; the knave of clubs in Sumner, and the
knaye OF spades in the hero OF Dutch Gap Canal.
Besides, 1t plays "lone hand" The PtcdyHne,
therefore, acknowledges the courtesy OF the IN
vitation, but desires to pass" at least on the
political part of the play. There is no chance
to take "trick" with people who are so
"tricky." However, political pleasantly aside,
the South will doubtless, send players TO the
Euchre Congress, If the Northern folks will
only IDEAL fair" who can probably hold their
own.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON UNRAsY.-The Washing.
ton correspondent of the New Orleans Crescent,
on the 9th inst, writes that the President has
become uneasy and anxious to settle matters on
terms he would have secuted few months
ago. But he has got his eyes opened to the
alarming condition of affairs too late to arrest
the terrible march of events. The concessions
he is now anxious to make, If made twelve
months ago, would have brought the South
into Congress and broken the radical party TO
fragments. But he has only brought the South
and himself to the verge OF ruin, with appa-
rently no hope of escape. Never did an ad-
ministration show less foresight.
WHICH WAY WILL THE Car JUMP 9-The Rebel
organs in the South very generally insist that
the negro, If admitted to the suffrage, will be
controlled by the whites, and will vote as his
employer bids him. The Detroit Free Press
furiously argues that If made the majority of
voters in the South, under the House bill, they
will not only vote as they please, but will
''elect their own color to office. Their Gov
ernors, State officers, and representatives in
Congress will be elected from the freedmen"
and ''the white people will be made hewers of
wood, etc., Where Democratic doctors differ,
who shall decide?
THE PARSONS PLAN.-The Parsons-0rr pro-
position having been unanimously rejected in
the Alabama House, whereas the Congressional
plan received eight votes, the Montgomery
Mai "infers that Mr.. Parsons thermometer is
in the cool neiRhbOrhood of zero" The Missls-
sippi House also rejected the proposition; but
passed, by a small majority resolutions re-
questing Congress to offer a final plan for the
adjustment of State and Federal relations.
Has STUDIED THE SUBJECT.-The Washington
correspondent of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
thinks there is no prospect of compromise be-
| tween the President and Congress. The former
is opposed to the Louisiana bill and Will veto,it,
and it is to be hoped he has deeply considered
| the subject of impeachment, and already taken
| measures to prevent his own deposition, with
| out at least show OF resistance.
NEBRASKA TO BE A SrATE.-The Legislature of
| Nebraska having, on the Goth inst. complied
| with the conditions imposed by Congress in
assenting to impartial suffrage, the admission
| OF the State will be complete when the Presi
dent by proclamation announces the receipt of
an authentic copy of the act declaring such
assent. 1t will probably reach Washington
before the 4th of March.
THE SWORD OF VAN DoRN.-Quite a sensation
has been occasioned in Mississippi by the
receipt of letter by Governor Humphrey
from George d. Greenleaf, of Peoria, Illinois,
who informs all whom it may concern that ne
! has the sword of General Earl Van Dorm, and
that it can be obtained from him for $500.
A JOHNSON CONG TO REsIGN.-The Macon
(Ga.) Telegraph says that exProvislonal Gov
| ernor johnson has resigned or will resign the
office of Collector at the port of Savannah, on
| account of the difficulty OF procuring con-
| frmation from the Senate.
WORTH TRYIEG.--The Raleigh IN. c. Stand
ard learns that Governor Worth ''has sent q
| messenger to Washington to employ Reverdy
| johnson to make up case for the Supreme
Court to test the power of Congress to reor-
| ganize North Carolina.n
