tons of the world, who visit the galleries OF
Congress. There is line in Shakespeare pat;

Senator Wilson reperteda bill on Sunday
night, repeating the act forbidding militia or
CARNATIONS in the Southern States, which was
passed, and which was probably intended to
supplement "the arms distribution bill" by
enabling the Governors Of the reconstructed
States to organize the so-called loyal militia OF
those States, as in Tennessee, and by military
force, keep down the rest Of the population
Fortunately the bill did not reach the House in
time to be acted on-and, therefore, itfailed.
Let it always be remembered that the lnta-
nous Reconstruction bill for the three tabooed
Southern States, and the no less Infamous
farming" bill, failed, NOT because the Radical
leaders in Congress did not wish and endeavor
to pass them. The electoral college bill to
prevent these States from voting in the next
Presidential election, they passed over the
Presidents Veto, several days ago. g3s- .na.
We published, yesterday, the substance of
the Funding bill, CONTAINED in the report of
the Committee of Conference on the subject)
which was hurried through both houses of
Congress, at the last hours of the session. Of
course it was too late for the President to
examine the bill before the adjournment, and
it is believed that he will not sign it, and, that
it will therefore not become law. + IL. sa:s

1t is thought that the recent exhibition"
in Congress, towards the white people in the
Southern States, .'wilI arouse the Indignation
of the masses of the people in the Northern
States,'' and make them more earnest than
ever in endeavoring to effect the political over
throw of the leaders of the Radical party. We
hope SO! -. '.,-.r:.,.-r-, ,E..
/ Mr. Benjamin f. Butler, incensed at the

! The Radical Legislature of North Carolina
has before it measures which under the guise
of police regulations, look to the establishment
in the State Of a most tyrannous and oppressive
system of measures under the control of the
Radical Governor The police agents arc to be
q small Radical standing army. ...s-:..5
Among the Eew members OF Congress sworn
in yesterday, were Mr.. Tiff and Gen. ?. NJ. B.
Young, Of Georgia They are native Geor-
gians; and men of character and intelligence.
Both are in full sympathy with the Conserya-
tive party of the country.
On account of the class of ''patriots" elected
to fill the various Offices in some Of the South
ern States, there has been found great difficulty
in their giving security.
The new Lynchburg City Council. is making
itself very obnoxious to the people of that city
by some of its late doings, in the interests of
the Radicals.
