WHAT THE CORRESPONDENTS SAY.
MORALS AND MANNERS OF THE CARPET
BAeeER.
The Washington correspondent Of the Balti.
more Gazette, under date Of the 23d, says:
So completely does every ACT of Congress TO,
mastery look to civil war that the Democratic
on the floor today declared that party policy
would dictate opposition to adjournment, as
every day that the session continues the domi
nant party is exposing its revolutionary pur
poses and furnishing the country with the
| strongest reasons for its overthrow In the fal
elections.
Private information received here from per
fectly reliable sources leaves no doubt OF the
fact that the Democratic ticket will sweep New
York, Pennsylvania and Indiana. In Ohio anC
| Illinois the parties say the contest will be
closer, bat that the electoral votes Of those
States viii be cast for Seymour and Blair. The
greatest confidence prevails, end no Democrat
here doubts the election Of Seymour by al
overwhelming majority.

The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun has but o poor opinion OF the new
Congressman. He says:
It is doubtful whether some Of the gentlemen
claiming to be representatives will ever return
to their reputed constituencies. Having been
elected by military influence, they will serve q
brief season in Congress, pocket their. five
thousand dollars per annu;n, and the places

THE WAY oARPET-BAeeERs voTE-THE CARPET
BAaaER N OFFICE.
The Washington correspondent Of the Bati-
more Gazette, under date Of the Gath inst, says:
Since the introduction into the House Of the
Southern representatives ~ anovel innovation
has been made in the mannerlof voting in that
body. Whenever any question is up and o vote
about being taken, the carpesebag mamhers are
visited Dy the pages, who whisper loud enough
ave." or "the speaker says vote nay" as the
case may be. A few days since the Radicals
divided on question, and General Butler ven
tured TO instruct the new members as to how
they should vote, but brother Radical seeing
the "dodge," followed on his track and gave
each lesson on the opposite side. The vote
was taken, and to the great disgust Of the hero
Of Big Bethel, the carpet-baggers all voted
against him. in spite Of his mods and winks.
The Secretary Of the Treasury complains
that he finds hie imported subordinates in the
South much less faithful than the native
rebels. In Brownsville, Texas, q carpet-bag
collector Of customs placed upon his pay roll
fourteen fictitious names Of clerks and drew
their salaries himself. The collector was re-
moved and Mr.. Whaley, an e1-member Of

ceived information which satisfies Mr.. McCul-
ioch that in swapping for Whaley he got q sor-

smugglers we're arrested, and it was proven
that they had lately done a thriving business
at defrauding the revenue. The kindly inter-
position Of the collector secured their release.
MIR. Whaley will also be relieved.
BRIGHTER DAYS.
The same correspondent also says:
The skies are indeed bright. The acknowl-
edged decentralization Of the Radicals fs proof
enough of this. They know not what course to
take. So far as Radical members Of Congress
are concerned, there is not an hour during the
current sessions that q bitter quarrel among
some Of them does not occur. The Ohio mem
bers particularly are o happy family. Butter

his Madness" and he and Thad. Stevens are
rendering service OF the last importance to the
Democracy. learn that the latter will shortly
address his constituents at large especially
upon the financial question, which, in the opin-
ion Of shrewd Pennsylvania Democrat now
here on visit (who has learned something Of
the tone of the coming paper), will be worth
thirty thousand votes to the Democratic ticket
in November next.
A 'cARpET-cAeaERs FIRST SPEECH.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald, under date OF the 2Sd says
Before the House met and in the early part
OF the session, the carpet-baggers, aided by o
few of the more extreme Radicals, we're en-
gagged in canYassing among members upon the
prospect of impeachment and OF defeating an
early adjournment. When the adjournment
question was taken up, therefore. ], T. De-
wees, oarpet-bagger from North Carolina,
arose from the outer circle OF seats on the
Democratic sido and commenced an appeal to
the House against adjournment. Calls were
made from the Republican side for him to
come forward 80 that he might be heard.
He came down the aisle towards the Speak
er's stand and finally mounted the Clerks
desk, where Old Thad. usually stands
when he addresses the House. This movement
created great merriment among both Pepubli-
cans and Democrats, some OF the latter laugh
ing imInoderately at the extraordinary modes
ty OF the carpet-bagger, who proceeded in 4
wild, incoherent way to denounce the Demo-
cratic party, mixing it up with plaintive stories
