A SAD CASE.

We have presented the case Of Long.
street in several hard bearings upon
loyalty" but the most melancholy as,
pect is yet to be seen. Some few months
ago, President johnson, seeing there was
no probability of any conservative or
Democratic nominee being confirmed by
the Senate, sent to that body the namt
Of Hon. w. II. Wisener, the Radical
Senator from Bedford county, for the very
Office that has now been conferred on
Longstreet. Mr.. Wisener, while really
desiring the Office, and fearing that his
nomination by Mr.. johnson might dam
age his prospect, unless it were properly
explained, caused to be published letter
addressed by him to the President,
mildly stating that he had not
asked for any such mark Of his
high consideration. The nomination
was not withdrawn, however, and Mr..
Wisener was not confirmed. In view Of
the fact that Mr.. Wisensr is one Of the
intensely loyal law makers, Of the Radi-
cal persuasion, being the Chairman of the
j Judiciary Committee of the Senate; and
in view of the further fact that he is
gentleman of wondrous ability and ac-
commanding the highest
fees in the professional market for few
hours services, it is certainly enough to
arouse the patriotic indignation Of the
VirtuOus BrOwnlow, to see so much
loyalty and talent discarded for the sake
Of rewarding LOngstreet for his vigorous
in Pennsylvania and East
Tennessee.-KnoT0iue Press and

FIR Office in England.
Mr.. Butler remarked that he agreed
with Mr.. Bingham on that point.
MIR. Shenck stated that the reason why
he would vote for postponing this bill
was that Congress had recognized the
existence Of Georgia under the recons
struction acts. and was therefore estopped
from denying the exclusion Of colored
members by the Georgia Legislature. He
regarded it as revolutionary act-an
outrage for which there was no excuse,
and no reasonable pretext could be
offered; but suppose Ohio, Massachusetts,,
or Pennsylvania had done something
equivalent ? How was Congress to
remedy this evil Was Congress
to fall back on the doctrine that Georgia
had never been reconstructed ? 1t was
adopted from that by the fact that it had
acquiesced in reconstruction. Was the
doctrine to be assumed that Georgia had
not a republican form of government
IL so, then all that Georgia had done was
TO be disregarded and wiped out and the
State RENTED to military authority. If
that was proposed he would feel free to
support it rather than support the meas
ure before the House.
He saw no solution for the difficulty
except to leave the matter for the pres
ent, and let Georgia herself see whether
she could furnish a solution. He was
assured if the Supreme Court of Georgia
was permitted to go on and decide under
the constitution and laws of Georgia and
of the United States, the question of the
right Of colored men to hold office, that
decision would be acquiesced in and acted
on by both branches of the Georgia |
Legislature. Therefore, he favored post
ponemsnt.
Mr.. Bingham moved a postponement |
Of the bill till the first Monday of De-
cember next, and demanded a previous |
question which was not seconded.
The Georgia bill was laid temporarily |
aside.
The Committee on Appropriations re-
ported bill appropriating 100000 for
