WHEN R0GUES FALL OUI, 00'
The debate on the joint resolution admitting
the State of Virginia to representation 10 Con-
gress developed considerable acrimony ana III
feeling between few of the sol disant loyal
| ists in the Senate. Sumner, who leads the ex-
tremists by the nose, and who would much pre-.
fer seeing Virginia sunk into purgatory than 10
see her again in the Union, had quite lively
little setto with Stewart Of Nevada, and, not
satisfied with that exhibition of his supercili-
business, he made an onslaught on Senator
Trumbull denouncing him as having ever been
opposed to negro suffrage. accused him OF be-
ing representative of the Ku-kiux Khan IN
opposing the Georgia bill, and referred con.
temptuously to the course he pursued in voting
against the impeachment of Andrew johnson,
etc. Trumbull had no opportunity afforded him
to reply to Summers charges and insinuations,
but we rather think Mr.. Sumner has over
matched himself and If we are not very much
mistaken in our estimate of the man, Judge
Trumbull will give him more than Roland for
his Oliver. and viii show up the Massachusetts
emasculated white niger" in no very envia-
BILE light Sumner had u Sc bout with Trum-
bull few weeks ago in which the ebony wor-
shipper came out second best, and in due time
we shall expect 10 hear of the apostle OF mis-
cegenation receiving another castigation ut the
hands Of the Illinois Senator, who is as capa-
BILE of dealing in biting sarcasm and bitter In
vectiye us he is IN logical argument and rhetor-
ical display.
The proceedings in the Senate over the adj
mission Of Virginia, us contained in the Con-
gressional Globe, deyelopes the true character
aud feelings of the different members of the
Senate towards the Southern people, Morton
of Indiana, whose mind, IN perfect keeping
with his body, is as corrupt and debased, made
an unblushing exhibition of his malignity tow
ards the people of the South. He boldly ayowed
that reconstruction did not end with the ad-
mission of the Southern States. but that ever
afterwards Congress would have the right TO
remand any Southern State TO Territorial!
condition and govern it by military authority.
He was of course sustained in this assertion
by Sumner and Drake. and few other lesser
lights in the Radical camp but Judge Trum.

existed in Congress. aud Old Flaxbrake. the
Webfoot Senator, who had just read the Con-
stitution out of curiosity. found provision IN

ton. aud his speech on the Drake amendment
shows evident signs of want Of confidence in
the constitutionality of the whole Rcconstruc-
ton business. A CLEAN of sunshine seems 10
have penetrated the Oregon mist which has
heretofore clouded aud betoaged the mental
vision of Idaho's selEconsiituied guardian, and
we hops the convalcscence which is apparent
in the mental condition Of the Oregon Senator
may become epidemic and extend to few
more Of his Radical brethren and associates
This division among the Radicals in Congress
should it continue. will be productive of much
good to the whole country, and we hope may
finally result in the restoration TO power OF the
Democratic party, which alone can guarantee
the perpetuity OF Republican institutions on
this continent
