The Hartford Courant remarks that
there is no pledge on the part of Con.
gress to admit the Southern States, ever
if their new Constitutions have been
adopted, until enough of the Legislatures
have adopted the Constitutional Amend
ment to make it part of tue Fundamental
low. Five more are needed, and no Stat.
will be admitted until the Legislatures
of all of them have taken action. The
elections were held in the South, we think,
under q different impression. W. trust
it will be definitely settled in due course
of time whether the Southern States are
to come in or not. II they are not, it
ought not longer to be deemed q crime,
one side more than the other, to keep
them out.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The following

w ~AShINdIoN, Way 4.-A"0 'o''o"'"e
is an extract from Congressman Donnel-
lyis invective against Washburn
If there be in our midst one low, sor'
did. vulgar soul n barren ever OF
mediocre intelligence /; one heart callous
to every kindly sentiment and to every
generous emotion ; one tongue leprous
with SANDER; one mouth which is like
unto q den of wild beasts. giving forth
deadly odors ; if there be one character,
which, while blotched and spotted. yet
raves and rants ami b%lackguards like "
prostitute /; If there be here one bold, bad,
empty, believing demagogue, it is the
gentleman from Illinois.
Queer composition for "gentleman,"
that 1t may all sound very we'll in its
place, the only fault being that, as some
men become celebrated for infamy, every
good man will refrain from giving such
rascals a cliff" on the road to fame
Ben Butler has been denounced so long
for everything vile and contemplate that
the Beast iairly revels in delight when.
ever he is assailed. To be talked about
is always gratifying to ~rascals. because,
keen, shrewd fellows as they are, they
know people will grow tired Of it time,
and begin to doubt. And to carry the
point further, as Congress is nov consti.
tuted, it were useless to send an honest
man there. Rascals have the upper hand
they manipulate the machinery Of gov
ernment to suit their own elevated ideas
Of justice and right, and what does it
avail to denounce them? The only rem.
edy is to elect a new Congress, turn out
the scoundrels who disgrace that body
and endeavor once more to make the
name Of Congressman an honor and
pride to the nation.
