cussion regarding the administration of the

In the House of Representatives the provl-
sion of the Pension law which requires applica,

CHARLES WHITTLESEY,
UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER,
AND COUNSELLOR IN
BANKRUPTCY.

Congress having just amended the Bankrupt
law 50 that nearly all parties can be discharged
from their debts unobstructcd by the fifty per
cent clause, so-cacd, another opportunity offers
to secure the benefits of this most effective and
permanent measure of relief The above-named
will make bankrupt business specially; will
procure discharges on the most moderate terms,
and transact all business in that line ut prices
which cannot fail to be satisfactory. Being Uni
ted States Commissioner he will endeavor to visit
the different counties on court days, and thus
save parties the trouble and expense OF several
trips to Alexandria in beginning and proceeding
with their cases. Discharges can be obtained
here before Register Hill as promptly as in Rich
mond or elsewhere, and at much less expense to
parties. 1t may be added that the Bankrupt act,
in connection with the Homestead exemption,
which it is now believed will be secured to the
bankrupt under the bankrupt law, is the only real
relief now offered to parties struggling in the
hopeless bondage of old debts. Address person

A dispatch from Washington, in the Balti-
more Sun, says -" Senator Lewis, of Virginia,
with colored delegation called on the Pres-
dent this morning to urge him to withdraw the
name of George S. Smith as collector of the
fifth revenue district, Uynchburg,) vice VIII
cox, the present incumbent. The President
stated that the charges brought against the lat
ter did not effect his party loyalty, but simply
his moral standing. On the urgent cntreaty of
the delegation he said that he would withdraw
the nomination Of Smith until the case could
be more fully investigated. He would also take
occasion to remark that he was by no means
pleased with the eternal squabblng among the
Radicals in Virginia, and advised the dclega-
ton to infase greater harmony into the party"

It's said that 'the proposition Of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue to repeal the in
come tax met with strong opposition yesterday
from the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Chairman of the Finance Committee Of the
Senate. Mr.. Boutwell, appeared before the
Ways and Means Committee. and opposed the
abolition of the tax unless it was proposed to
keep up the internal revenue receipts by some
other and new form of taxation. With the
present expenditures of the government he did
not see how Congress could do away with the
revenue derived from the tax on incomes.

ULTRA PARTY PLANS. New York Tri-
bune, of the 22d, containsa Washington letter,
purporting to give the secret plans and machl-
nations as we'll of certain adventures from the
South, white and black, who are now crowding
into Washington, as their allies in both Houses
of Congress. This letter, says the Washington
Patriot, lis perfect confirmation OF our dark
est auguries as to the revolution which certain
Radical manipulaters are now contemplating
The substance is, that the carpet-baggers find
that in spite of constitutional amendments and
requisite legislation, their reign is at an end,
and, with an exceedingly insecure hold on the
freedman vote, they are in hopeless minority
with the whites. Hence, they come to Con-
eress and demand that new and more thorough
reconstruction be resorted to, and that the re-
habilitated States which are in contemplation
of law, as integral parts of the Union as the
most persistently loyal of the old thirteen, should
be relegated to their late condition of anarchy
and military tenure
There is hope that they will not be able to
carry out their plans at least, at this session OF
Congress-but there is no certainty as to that.
We believe the New York Tribune, ultra as
it is, is opposed to the schemes and plans now
on foot in relation to the South. And the New
York Post, the most sensible, and the most re-
spectacle, of the Republican journals, at the
North warns the party of the results that must
ensue, in time, if the present course Of their
leaders is not arrested. 1t tells them, plainly
and manfuly, thatinstead of seeking to found
their power upon the general consent Of the
people, the Southern Republicans have per-
petuated discord, and studiously insisted upon
disfranchisement and other pains and penalties
for rebellion. They have cried out for peace,
but they themselves have made peace impossi-
BILE by continuing the punishments of War.
This is the language of the Post Unfortu-
nately, for the peace and harmony ofthe coun-
try, the leaders have enlisted under their ban
ners and are backed up by, nearly the whole
colored population in the South, who arc now
voters, and bonded into complete organiza-
ton, controlled and directed by the Radical
white leaders, and disposed to 60 to the ex-
tremest limits, for the most extreme measures.
