The p~ertinacity Of the house in insist
ing upon an early r~eassemblage Of con-
gress means something. 1t shows that
the radical element Is strongin the house.
The leaders of this wing OF the party
wish 10 keep the impeachment question
I'm band, so they wish TO be ready with
further legislation il anything should
occur at the south which would give
them the pTeteXt for further action.
Any collision between the two races in
any locality, or anything calculated to
produce q new excitement at the north,
would be promptly seized upon for this
uurpnse. Besides, these leaders have an
itching palm 10 take hold of Maryland
and reconstruct Dc on the radical basis.
An adjournment until December would
be a prscticsl abandonment of the pro
p~osition Of impeachment, and would be
s tacit admission that affairs were as
sumiug a pacific solution. But these
revOIutiOnists consider il necessary to
keep the agitation north up to the
fever heat. Hence, therefore, the
anxiety OF the majority of the house
favoring the reassembling at any mo-
ment they may deem eXpedient. There
is no doubt but hat some of the more

10 be done with the south yet. They
hold in reserve the terrible policy Of con-
fscation, by means Of which they would
hope TO develop a party at the south be-
longing to them. The scheme would be
BY donations Of vast quantities Ofland, ts
fasten q certain class 10 them. Then by
still further limitation Of the elective
franchise, they would expect an increase
hold upon the powers of rel the south
ern states. 10 is to be hoped, however,
that the southern people, by consummste
prudence aud moderation, viii 50 act as
20 give these men no further political
capital.
The removal Of Mayor Monroe has
been received with great pleasure by the
republicans, and Sheridan is at the sum-
NIT Of popularity for the moment.
Ii is said thar If the senate can be
brought 20 a vote on Senator Wilson'S
resolution for the discharge Of Mr.. Davis
on bail, that a msjOTity of the senate
will 20 for il. But while this feeling Of
Justice operates, there is an unwilling
ness to act on the subject, and the effort
will be made TO give the resolutions the
g0-by. The chief Justice is, it is believed,
very anxious 70 escape from this trial.
IL is curious how the prejudice and in
against President johnson has
operated TO cause Sir. Davis 10 be forgot
The dominant party would greatly
prefer TO see President Johnson punished
than Mr.. Davis. Some of the most ex-
IRENE men in congress say they are will
ing 70 let Mr.. Davis go; but they say
that the confinement is merely nominal,
and involves no serious harpship on him,
as he has the liberty of the fort.
Ii is curious what valiant opinions are
expressed even by members of the dOmi-
nant party IS TO the practical results OF
freedom 10 the blacks south. Some i'm
it is 10 produce a new millennium
south that the blacks will astOnish the
world by their advancement and high
development. They think as soon as
COMMON schools are universally estab-
ished throughout the southern states the
Hacks will advance rapidly TO a level
With the most Intelligent wbitcs. On
he other hand some have the candor TO
emancipation is an experiment, and
hey have great fears in the future Of the
