From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan,

plete the work Of suhjecting the Southern
States to the Radicul.negro policy. TO
this end they have in effect destroyed the
constitutional powero of the Executive and
the Judiciary. 1t is not only avowcd, rs
the real object of the new Bill regulating
the decisions Of the Supreme Court ON
constitutional questions, that it is to pre-
vent, for all time, any change in the laws
and Constitutions of the reconstructed
States. At some future time the Recon
strnction Acts may be set aside by the
majority of the Supreme Court, and per-
haps would be by the Court as now com
posed. 1t is, therefore, declared TO be nc,
ccssary to prevent tie Court from making
any dccison by which the Constitutions,
laws and governments Of the reconstruct
ed States can ever be changed.
1t is now announced that Alabama will
be admitted into the Union and have
representatives seated IN Congress by the
second week in February. The new Re-
construction Act cannot long be delayed
in its passage, and this Act will, it is dc
clared force every one of the excluded
States into the Union, as Radical Negro
States early next spring, that is previous
to the Goth of May so that these States
may be represented in the Chicago Nom
mating Convention.
The State Governments and all civil
rights under them are to be swept away.
The Conventions arc to exercise the pow
crs of civil government with the aid OF the
new military authorities. The Radicals
are now satisfied that nothing can posSi-
hIy occur to prevent the success OF their
political schemes. The President is i'm
potent, aud the military officers will ci-
ihcr 30 with Congress or DC lcgiSIaled
out of the army, in the manner in Which
it is now proposed TO get rid Of General
Hancock.
Mr.. Stanton will no doubt remain at
the Lead OF the War Department long
enough to carry out the measures of Con
rrcss, even # they involve the impeach-
menl and suspension Of the President.
Congress asserts the power To give direct
orders to the Secretary of War on every
subject. and will not hesitate so to alter
the law establishing the War Department
as TO provide that The Secretary of War
shall receive orders from Congress. in
stead of the President, and perform all the
duties that Congress may cnjoln upon
him.
The reaction from these measures will
be tremendous, if ut all proportionate to
their enormity. On this point the House
