The Deed ~Consummated,

We called the attention Of our
readers, yesterday, 10 the fact that
the natch-work bill Of Stevens, Sher-
man, Eliot & Co, for the Polandiz-
ing Of ten Of the States Of this Union,
had been passed by Congress and
sent to the President for his approval.
There are two significant facts con-
neoicd with the passage OF this in
iquitous measure, which show con-
ciusiyely to our mind that there has
been an understanding between the
President and the Radicals on the
subject; or, in other words, that the
President has abandoned his policy
and gone over, substantially, to the
Radicals. One Of these facts Is, that
MFR. Revcrdy johnson, the Senator
from Maryland, who Is known to
have been, all through the struggle,
the fast friend Of the President, voted
for the bill on it, final passage, with
the declaration that II was "the best
terms the South could getj' aud the
second is, that although the bill wa'
passed after the time when the Presi-
dent was obliged to veto Il or let II
become a law-that is, within lcs'
than ten days of the adjournment
the President yet consented to vet'
il PROMPTLY, that It might 60 bacl
