walker.

The fire-eating Washington correspondent
OF the Baltimore Gazette writes:
Senator Morton's bill for the reconstruct
ton of Georgia will come up Wednesday.
it provides for re-seatins the negroes and
fatiSing the fifteenth amendment as pre-
requisites to admission into the Union.
Friends OF Georgia here think these the best
terms 10 be had. The extremists wish to
apply the test-oath, which would be ruin
Gus to the Interests Of the State. The ultra
faction will endeavor to defeat Morton's bill,
and falling in that will try to have il post
poned until after the holidays. Should
Morton'S hill pass, and the people Of Gcor-
cta GccGGe TO lis terms, III effort win be made
20 bring the State promptly into the Union.
Il is understood that large number Of
Radical congressman will pledge them
selves TO this course.
ct is rrmored that the Judiciary Com
mittee are not satisfied with any OF the
newly.appointed circuit judges. To one
or TWO Of them the strongest opposition Is
made, and the confirmation of majority is
very doubtful. II is predicted that there Is
Il storm brewing between the President and
the Senate, Us it is pretty generally under
stood that Z large number Of Grants APP
pOintments will be rejected. The Senate
seems in no hurry TO meet the issue, having
adjourned over, on Friday, after having
confirmed only the two Cabinet appoint
mentS.
