has been elected to represent the State
of Mississippi in that body for the
term expiring March 4th, 1871. The
Radicals are playing a littie shy Of
their ''man and brother" and it is e.
ven hinted that further legislation will
be necessary before the Senators and
Representatives Of Mississippi will be
permitted to take their seats in Con-

Radicals managed to keep out Me

by various pretexts, and it will be seen
now whether they will serve Revels in
the same way.

DEMOCRATS viii take supreme de-
light in attending the elections next
fall to observe with what grace Rcpub-
licans Will vote alongside Of Negroes.
As Democrats have always predicted
that Negro Suffrage was near at hand.
and as Republicans have always denied d
it, the former will 90 to the polls like
men, feeling that they have been fully
sustained in their predictions; but
how will the latter approach the bal

of face, knowing that they have been
hoodwinked and betrayed by their
leaders, by whose false promises they
were led to deceive their friends sand

The Virginia bill, with the senate

ged in the murder of Mrs. Surratt,n
and, as usual, poor Bingham dropped
iat0 his seat, com pietely repu!sed and
unable to say another word during
the debate. Batter always brings him
down with RS Suralt. Mr.. Farms
worth, however, took UP the cud gel for
Bingham, and delivered savage
philippe against Batter, going over
his rasealiy career both before and AZ
ter his conversion to Radicalism. AZ
ter his episode. which created some
laughter and more excitement. The
consideration uf tie bill was resumed.
Messr3. s. 5. Cox and Morgan, on the
Democratic side, made vigorous pro-
tests against the passage of a MEASURE
which 50 unnecessarily degraded the
Did Dominion. The Bingham Raui-
Gals expressed their abhorrence of the
bill aisn, but proposed To vote FIR it 10
avoid Keeping Virginia out in the cold
any longer. The bill then passed by
a strict party vote-l.i6 to 81. In sub
stance it admits Virginia, but pre-
scribes that the test oath shall be taken
by the members OF the Legislature
before their admission to seats, and
that the State Constitution shall never
be amended so us TO deprive negroes of
the suffrage or the right to attend the
same schools as whites. The further
business of the House consisted in a
debate on the outrages Of General
Terry in Georgia, the presentation Of
petitions by Mr. Mungen from 100
citizens OF Worcester, Massachusetts,
praying for the reputation OF the pub
lie debt, and the introduction of the
following bills: To authorize the peo-
pie of New IIexic0 to form IA constitu-
tion and State government prePara-
tory 10 admission as a State; to in
crease the number Of judges of the Su-
preme Court; to regulate the mode of
determining the ratification of the
constitutional amendment, and 10 es-
tabIish postal telegraph lines. The
Senate debated Mr. Sherman's finance
bill, Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Howe
making long species. Mr.. Wilson
introduced joint resolution to grant
a pension Of $1,000 per annum to Mrs.
Lincoln, from theJime of her husbands =
death. Mr. Norton attempted to get

bitary conduct of General Terry in
Georgia, but Mr.. Sumner promptly
stopped it.

THE estimates Of the appropriations
for the several departments ofthe Fed
eral government for the coming fiscal
year, exceed the expenditures of the
last year of Andrew Johnson's admin
istration upwards Of Fifty Millions Of
Dollars. This is retrenchment ard re-
form with vengeance. During the
canvass OF 1868, the strong card of the
supporters of Grant was their promise
OF rigid economy in the administra-
ton Of the government. They will
hardly play il again.
