The Revolution CuIminating-A Fo-
reign war-GOvernmentC Control OF
Telegraph Companies-StantOn for
vice-President, DC, &c.
WAsH1NGToS, January 29.-The revolu-
ton is rapidly eliminating. All the mea
sures devised by Congress for subverting
the Government will be speedily passed.
Another bill is pending in the House en-
towering the President of the Senate, in
cases where er oticio he shall succeed in
the Chief Magistracy, to hold ouer beyond
the time for aohich he shall haze been elected
as q senator. This is clearly intended for
the benefit of Wade, and is made to fit his
case to hair. 1t, moreover, evidently
contemplates seizure of the Government
in case of failure to elect their candi-
date after the 4th of March, 1869.
In the mean time it is by no means GER
tain that the country may not be plunged
into q foreign war. learn that the lead
ing spirits Of the dominant party deem it
advisable to consummate the revolution
under cover of actually existing HOSTILE
ties. 1t is probable, therefore, that our
complications with Great Britain will be
seized upon to effect their purposes.
The General Government is rapidly alb
sorbing all power, even in respect to mat
tiers of private Government. The tele-
graphic companies must soon yield to the
demands of Congress, and private dis
patches are to be put under the manipula-
tions of epauletted officials. Washburne,
of Illinois, hasprepared bill for this pur-
pose. We are told that he anticipates vio-
lent opposition from the lines now estab-
lished under State authority. No wonder.
People are, very naturally, disinclined to
surrender their property without adequate
compensation, or, indeed, to surrender 1t
at all at the behest of body of men con-
fessedly without rightful authority to seize
it.
1t is understood that the wire-pullers
have determined to run Stanton for Vice
President on the Grant ticket. The Con-
yention to meet at Chicago in May next
will be mere formal gathering, and its
functions only to endorse the preordina-
ton of Congress.
At an informal caucus of senator's this
morning the question of allowing Mr..
Thomas, of Maryland, to take his seat was
discussed, and the conclusion arrived at to
reject his application to be sworn in. This
result was predicted as soon as the vote
was taken in the Senate ordering the dis
cussion Of the reconstruction bill to be
proceeded with.
The Radicals are in a rage over some
reported remarks of Mr. Justice Field, in
the presence Of number of gentlemen, in
which it is said Judge Field declared, in
very positive terms, that the reconstruc-
ton measures Of Congress were unconstl-
tutional. Judge Field was appointed to the
Supreme Bench from California as Re-
publican, and is native Of New York.

had opposed all their propositions. He had
told them all they had to do was to join
the Democratic party in rejecting the
amendment; but the idea was to pass the
House bill, and hold the minority respon-
Sible in the same way. True, the senator
had then opposed Acknowledgement, but
afterwards yielded to the dictation of the
master Of the House, as others had
done before and since. Disfranchise-
ment had been created by the political
majority. They had been told that Mr..
STEvENs's Acknowledgement bill would
only disfranchise from 5000 to 10000.
The senator from Indiana now called it
$4,000. He (Mr. BUCKALEw) had been
laughed at for estimating it at $4,000 at
trSt; but it was at least 800, 900, as could
be seen from the census and other returns.
That was the number that did not appear
