1 fear the result Of the disorganizing ele-
ments at work in the Radical ranks, which
have already gone so far, in their work,
that Mr.. STEVENS has given notice, as
there were so many different opinions
in regard to reconstruction, on his side Of
the House, brought forward in the debates
during the last week on his "Reconstruc-
ton Bill" that he will probably withdraw
it from further consideration. The most
important objection, that seems to have
been urged against the Bill in question, is,
that it recognizes the present "bogus" State
Governments at the South, for judicial and
other purposes temporarily, until Congress
shall reOrganize them in conformity with
the Constitution. The majority of the
Radicals seem opposed to this, and un-
fortunately for the passage ofthe Bill, have
the arguments in their favor.
