FACTION rules Congress. The lead
ing Radicals in that body obey the die
tates of party. They have no regard
for the welfare of the nation, or the
people as members of Il common conn-
try. In the discussion upon the ques-
ton of admitting the regularly ana le-
gally elected Congressional delegates
from Kentucky, Mr.. Ingersoll, aPromi-
ncut and ruling Radical i'll Illinois, dis
tinctly put the decision 'of the case
mou its bearing with reference
tn the future OF the Radical
marty. He said if the "House want
ed 10 send an encouraging voice 10 tue
Iuionists of the South, and work them
M aud crys,alize them around the
principles of the Union party, they
c,uld not do il more etfectually' than
hy preventing the congressman IRON
Kentucky from taking their seats. Ihis
position was accepted by the House, and
became the keynote of the whole
discussion. The rights of State to
representation under the Constitution
is made to depend entirely upon the
political sentiments OF the men
chosen as delegates to Congress. II
tbey are in unison with the ruling
mower, they will be admitted. If not,
then the State will be left without rep
resentation. The success OF party IS
sufficient justification for denial OF
the right of one or dozen States to
representation. This is the work OF
faction, not the calm action OF deilb-
erative body composed OF delegates
bound by oath to respect the Constltu-
tion. and fully justiiieS the assertion
that the nation il now ruled by an or
sanized mob, not the Congress fashion
ed hy the founders of the Republic.

PUBLIC LANDS IN THE SOUTH.

1t is noticed by returns recently re-
oeived at the Land Office that the val
liable public lands in the Sorth are
being rapidly taken up by. black and
white squatters, the latter from the
Northern States, sent down to that sec.
ton in order to strengthen the Radical
vote. The authority for such disposal
of these lands was given by act of Con-
gress passed in June, 1866, which ex-
cludes from homestead the poor white
men of the South who may have been
forced into the ranks of the Confederate
army.

Senator Sumner seems to be far ahead
of all his political associates in the way
of bills, resolutions, propositions, &C.,

menced this morning in favor of taking
immediate possession of the Russian
purchase, and after arguing the neces,
sity of such step, he branched off into
Maryland and Kentucky, and severely
berated his indolent brethren for not
acting promptly in giving the colored
man the right of suffrage in those
States, so as to swell the Radical vote
therein. Ell

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

The Honse voted substantially to-day
in favor of establishing, by act of Con-
gress, impartial suffrage in all the
States, or in other words, to declare ne.
groes qualified voters in the so-called
loyal States as well as in the disloyal
1) South. The resolution referring the
question to the Judiciary committee
was introduced by Mr.. Washburn, of
Indiana. 1t professed to require the
opinion of that committee on the coll
stitutionality of such an act, but that
was simply snper6uous-everybody
knows what sort of report that COM

WASHINGTON, July 5.
RECONSTRUCTION EXPENSES.

In addition to the proposed supple
mental reconstruction bill, it is under
stood that an appropriation of $500, 900,
or upwards, will be made this session TO
enable military commanders in the
South to complete the registration IN
their several districts. The appropria-
tion made at the last session is nearly
exhausted, and application has been
made to the Secretary of the Treasury
by District Commanders for more funds,
which cannot be furnished in the alb
sence of the necessary act of Congress.
Some of the House Radicals are i'll favor
of voting IA million of dollars at once,
but the probabilities are that the
amount will be limited to $500,0OO, for
the present at least. An effort will be
made to get the supplementary recon
structiOn bill through the Senate early
next week, and, therefore, the majority
in the House are disposed to await the
action of the other branch on the sub
ject, although several ambitious Rep
resentatives are anxious TO take the In
itiative, and pass House bill as early
as practicable.
TALK OF AN OCTOBER SESSION.
1t is manifest already that the Radi-
cal leaders will endeavor to bring Con
gress back again in October, and to that
end it is intimated by members of
that party that q recess will be taken
about the end of the present month un-
til the first Monday in October. Such
an arrangement is recommended by the
impeachment wing of the party. They
are anxious to finish the job next ses-
sion, and therefore desire to reassem-
BILE two months ahead of the regular
time. A.

The total vote cast in Connecticut at the
late election will be about $4,000. This is
by far the largest vote ever cast in the state
In abiding to it, the New Haven Registe,
says:
"This result has not been achieved with
out most determined struggle on our part
The tactics of the enemy were never bette,
displayed, in their peculiar management,t than
yesterday. Their gigantic corruption fund
which came into this state during the las
week OF the canvass, was used by them with
consummate skill and adroitness. They
pitched upon the manufacturing towns and
districts, where money could be used to the
greatest advantage, and the effect has been
to reduce MIR. English's majority largely in
those localities. This fund was the GRAND
card that they were to play at the last mo.
ment, and the mysterious givings out of
the party that we were to be struck where we
least expected it, is fully accounted for bv
the result. But we declared in our last is
sue before the election, that 'saltpeter
wouldn't save them, much less corruption
fund, and our faith in the people has not
disappointed us. We send this greeting to
our sister states Connecticut stands bv tho

Brick Pomeroy writes back to his paper
from New Orleans, says he hasn't been rob-

surprise that something Of the kind hasn't
happened to him. Before he went to the
south, he says, the radical newspapers de
nounced the people down there as villains
declar ing that no mans life or property was
safe among them. After month or more
spent in the south, he says he can't see but
that the people down there are as orderly
and law-abiding as the people up north, ane
that most of the men who commit crime
there are from the north.
