AT the latest advices the Roman govern
ment were absorbed in a controversy as 10
whether foreign ambassador could be adj
mitted to an audience with the Pope if he
came in a one-horse coupe. The Prussian
Minister tried, and was refused admission
by the guard on duty. He urged that both
his coachman and fOotman were in livery,
and that everything else was in strict ac-
cordance with etiquette, but all to no pur-
pose. He then appealed to Cardinal An
tonelli, but without effect, as the Cardinal
decided, after due consultation, that the
rule which required two horses could not
be relaxed.

REPLY To A RADICAL COMMENTA-
TOR,

TOR.
Some anonymous financial wiseacre
who thinks it is disloyal to look the truth
in the face, comments in the Radical Or
gan, on the brief editorial reference made
in this paper to the reported CONVERSE
ton of the President in regard to the
financial condition Of the country, and
intimates that we look favorably on the
reputation Of the national debt, and that
such is the secret desire of the Conserva-
tive party His insinuations are dis
missed as unworthy of notice, and with
the single remark, thstitis more probable
that the party which made the debt, and
by reckless extravaganza, are maintain
ing it at its present dimensions, will, with
equal readiness, lend countenance to dis
honest means Of dispensing with it, when
ever the trouble of managing it does not
suit their political purposes.
The attempt to show from his statistics
that the public debt is being diminished,
proves that the writer is us incompetent
to comprehend the question, as he is ready
to impute base motives to those who think
that national debt is national curse,
and who are not afraid to say, that under
prolongation of the unsettled political
condition of the country, it may produce
general bankruptcy; and that a desper>
ate and tax-ridden people may resolve to
repudiate it The two hundred and
twenty odd millions claimed as the de-
crease Of the public debt in eighteen
months is fictitious The single act
equalizing soldiers bOunties, and not in
cluded in the estimates for the fiscal year
ending June 3lst 1867 is more than double
that whole sum; and with other items of
increase not included in the appropria-
ton estimates, makes an amount three
times the asserted decrease. The truth
is, and an exact exhibit will verify it, that
the public debt, notwithstanding the am
nual receipts Of the treasury are more than
billion and a quarter, is larger to-day
than it was six months after the close of
the war.
"Loyalists' of the Radical type may
talk complacently of the inexhaustible
resources Of the country, and the integ-
rity Of the loyal millions, and the cheer
ful sacrifices they will make to preserve
unsullied its pecuniary credit; but let
them continue to agitate for year or
two longer, and still further embarrass
the industry of the people, and at the
same time, break in pieces the tablets of
the written law, and 60 to worshipping
license and forced equality in the name
of liberty and social progress-let them,
amid this chaos and confusion, increase
Overwhelmingly the disproportion be-
tween the nOn>bondholding voters and
those who hold the national securities as
private investments, and this "house of
cards," called the public debt, will be
shaken "as a reed by the wind and it
will require sounder craftsmanship than
is now controlling it, to prevent it from
tumbling to pieces

tation Of ito being needed. They are
passing through fiery trial of cruel and
cowardly Radical persecution, but they
are not so servile as to seem to respect
their maligners, or appear to lick the
hands that are lifted to smite them They
take counsel Of their own true brave
hearts, and follow their own way of ex-
Treating themselves from the tyranny
that seeks to enthrall them. The imperti-
nent "advice" Of the organ viii no more
seduce them into acquieseence, than its
threats will terrify. them into submission.

Alarm at the Supreme Court DeeiS-
iOns-The National Banking Capt.
taI-AIabama and the Amendments
WAsnINercx. Dec. 80, 1866.
From tie Tr-6uue's Specially


Mr.. Stevens is preparing some i'm
portant measures which will be intro
duced Immediately on the assembling
of Congress. They look to radical
changes in both Exc ecutive and Judi
cial quarters. The Iecent decision Of
the Supreme Court IA regard to militia
~ trials, together with the report of
other important decisions shortly to
follow, in which it i alleged they in
tend to declare several laws on the
Statue book unconstitutional, have
produced a feeling Of alarm. Several
able jurists in both Houses are serious
ly considering the proPsiety of Con-
gross taking immediate action to avert
serious dangers. The President is said
to have conferred with several of the
Judges of the Supreme Court in regard
70 the positions assumed by Congress
toward the Southern States. When
he announded to the Commission tssh
South Carolina, Mr.. Weatherby, that
the Supreme Court would declare the
amendment unconstitutional, he is
thought to have spoken by the card.
Mr.. Hooperiutends to press his bank |
bull Immediately on the opening of
Congress after the holidays. He will
strenuously oppose any increase of the /
three hundred miliiln capital OF the
National Banking Law A strong pres
sure has been brought to bear upon
the Committee from the Northwest |
to secure moderate increase, but Mr..
Hooper, backed by the Committee as
streuuously opposes it, and Will en-
deavor to defeat it in the House. The /
Northwestern members alledge that I
Massachusetts, has 500, ,000,0 and are 4
debarred from getting any more
They will urge therefore considerable |
increase over the $500 900, 600 as pro- |
Vided in the present law.
The Alabama loyalists nos here are |
in possession Of some particularssof the |
movement which Gov Parsons has been 1
home to aid. The Legislature meets
at Montgomery on the 10 ult. Notice I
is pending for a reconsideration of the
vote rejecting the amendment. Gov.
Parsons's late visit was to aid its ratif-
cation. II is believed shat not only
will this be done. but that an election
will be ordered for ali offices now filled
by men excludedu un Ter the third sec
ton Such prominent politicians have
been selected by the Administration
party there as, while in full sympathy
with the Rebellion are not at the same
time technically disqualified from hold
ing Office, for the reason that they have
never taken the oath of allegiance or
held Office. A brother of the Rebel
himself prominent advocate
and an allie lawyer, is to be
as Governor in place of Pat
ten, who has taken and violated the
oath of allegiance Morgan is one of
the ablest and most bitter pro-SOuthern
politicians in the State. Other candi-
dates of similar stripe are selected as
and Representatives In this
way the Alabama loyalists declare the
Unionists viii be ouM mixed if the State
IS admitted to representation under
simple ratification Of the pending a !
mendment.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The Governors message was received
and read in both Houses before the
noon recess. 1t seems to give good
satisfaction in the main, but does no;
pass without comment for some things
that are omitted, and especially for the
lack of any reference to the question
of equal suffrage in the State.
