GREELEY on CoNFIsCATIoN.-The last
issue of the Tribune says:
cable and eminent as Mr.. Stevens is,
his confscation speech awoke no single echo
in Congress. And his recent letter serves
only to render more palpable the truth that
Henry Wilson, in his speeches at the South,
GtterS the sentiments Of at least nine
tenths of the Republican party.
"In a single contingency only do Mr..
Stevens's peculiar views threaten to as
sumo importance. Should the Democratic
minority in the present Congress serve his
ends as thoroughly as they did in the last,
he NAV be able somewhat to impede the
admission Of members from the States
soon to be reconstructed. Thus the condi-
tions Of restoration were rendered far more
onerous 10 the eX-rebels than majority OF
the Republicans desired and prescribed.

peated.o
