We shall have plenty of elimination
and recrimination amongst these impas-
stoned and mercenary politicians thrown
mp to the surface by the commissions OF the
domestic war. See WADE and the maiig-
nants who sympathize With him, driven BY

These indications are natural with such
rapacious politicians; and it is probable ai'
that the complications resulting from mu-
tual accusations and scheming for Offices in
80 corrupt body as Congress win yet bring
forward more Of the signs Of disappoirtt-
ment and wrath. - T - - IS 49,:
Are not these passions and disagreements
ALREADY creating some trouble not
plans formerly arranged somewhat discon-
certed7 We would not inspire hopes that
may be disappointed; but it is interesting
to observe the new movements and at least
to ask whatdo they mean. 9grq5ss qsy
What means it that Messrs. FERRY, CoNK-s
ling, and MoRroN, distinguished Radical
senators, declare that Congress has no right
TO impose d fundamental condition on g.
State What. means it that Mr.. DRAKE, the
ultra Radical senator from Missouri, declares
in his place that nosouthern State should be
admitted until it adopts the constitutional
amendment there was no need OF
hurry; and that as the Government had
done without those southern States for
seven years, it can do without them for
seven months more ! Z ~ ~ 4
There is apparently some confusion-pos-
sibly some new inclination among men to
act Independently and give some rein to
prudence and honesty. 1t is an extrava-
CANT idea: but disappointment and defeat
make men better sometimes. Thereis no
telling what the defeat of impeachment and
the impressions and wounds left by the
furious personal strife it occasioned may
do. Certainly. the leaders Of the Radical
party have had fine opportunity to look
into the motives and feelings of one another,
and the examination, we may be assured
has increased neither their mutual respect
nor their confidence in their ability to hold
together or administer the affairs of the
nation to its advantage. We cannot doubt
for moment that this is the opinion of
both Messrs. FEssENDEN and TRUMBULL. -
sooneror later therevolutionary partyin
power must be condemned and deposed by
the. nation. And We think the signs Of dis
solution already appear. 49,. Is !.
