WASHINGTON, d. c., April 10, 1871.

slderng the last Radical deviltry-the Ku-
klux bill Of the House. The bill will be
reported to-day in the Senate and most pro-
badly will be amended so as to make it more
stringent than at present. Great surprise Is
manifested at Senator Trumbulrs supporting
this bill when he has heretofore opposed such
extreme partizan legislation. After the ac-
ton of the supposed-to-be moderate Radicals
in passing such an Infamous bill! in the House.
after all their vaporing against it, am not
surprised at the action of any Radical. The
general impression is that the bill will be
passed by the Senate without modification.
Congress will, 1t is thought, adjourn about
the goth Of this month but it is pretty well
known that the. Senate will be convened in
May for Executive business, in relation to the
labors of the Joint High Commission, which
the GRANTEES claim are going along quite
smoothly. am anxious to see how much
we will gain over the terms Of the Johnson
Clarendon treaty, which was so Indignantly
rejected under the influence of Senator Sum-
ner's speech.
That the Radical party is very sick is be-
yond question. A consultation was held at
the White House on Saturday between Ulysses
and Senators Morton and Cameron and "cuss-
ing Ben" Wade The troubles which exist
in the Radical party in Pennsylvania, Ohio
nd 1<,nl I'd ipto md oil
of remedies suggested. The President receiv-
ed a rap over the knuckles from Senator
Morton who intimated that few more such
removals as we're made in New York recently
would place Radicalism in the past tense.-
The President yesterday received copy of
the resolutions passed by the Central Repub-
lican Executive Committee of New York City
which ndem his removal of Messrs Or n
nell and Palmer and highly endorse them.
These resolutions were light and pleasing
Sunday reading, that is if Ulysses is not too
pious to read anything but the Bible on the
Sabbath. Mr.. Grinnell who, until jolly Tom
Murphy stole into the Presidential stomach,
mean affections, was sort of Pythias to
the White House Damon, thinks that after
all his heavy cash subscriptions to the New
York Grant fund and to all kinds aud sorts
of subscriptions looking to the benefit of the
great receivist, he has been scurvily treated,
and he so writes to the bloodless creature 10
the Executive chair, and as a sort of cap
stone to bis ingrstitude he recounts that three
days before his official head rolled into the
basket he had contributed one thousand dol
lars to carry the Connecticut election. The
Radical party is in such danger Of immediate
dissolution that 01ssita Smith, principal mid
wife of the monster, and wet nurse to it's
father, the Abolition party, has been called
10 to "nuss" it through this last bad spell.
He has called o. Grant and he has called on
Sumner, but as these chiefs have cast away
their scabbards there is not much chance of
reconciliation, 30 these modern Montagues
and Capulets will bite their thumbs at each
other, if they do no worse, until one or the
other of them is carted from off the scene of
so much strife and bitterness, unable longer
to bite thumb.
The place 10 which to hold the next Ma
tonal Democratic Convention has lately been
the subject of considerable discussion among
members of Congress. The discussion seems
to be confined to statement of the claims of
the Western members, who point to St. Louis
as the proper spot, and ready acquiesence
on the part of the members from other Sec
tons, especially from the South. 1t seems to
be settled matter that we must look to the
West for the necessary strength to elect our
President in 1872, and there is every DISPOSE
ton to strengthen her hands. 1t is claimed,
and very truly, that ST. Louis is very plea
SAINT, healthy city, centrally located. easy of
access, being connected with all parts of the
country by railroads; besides having large
number of extensive hotels capable of accom-
modating the great number of visitors usual
at conventions, which is matter of consider
able moment also that the Democratic States
on the Pacific slope, as we'll as the other
States of the West-with their immense in.
dustries-deserve such recognition at the
hands of the Democratic party, there having
been but one Democratic Convention, of late
years, held in the West--that Of Chicago.
They also claim that the recent political sue
cesses 10 that great section Of our country en-
titles them to that honor From the DISPOSE
ton manifested among members Of Congress
there is no doubt hnt that st. Louis-the re-
deemed city, now Democratic for the FIRST
time 10 ten years-Will be the spot where the
Democracy IN council assembled will non,i-
nate their standard bearer for the next Presi-
Dental contest.
Senator Morton, of Indiana, IN response to
a serenade gotten up 70. the two-fold pur-
pose of making speech in the interest of
Radicalism generaHysan and the party Of moral
ideas iE the District here, who advocate mixed
schools, and who are very anxious to elect
their delegate to Congress. Morton treated
bis bearers to the usual Radical stock 10 trade:
denunciation of the South, and the Democra-
tic party, falsehoods with regard to the OUT
RACES in the South, and the designs Of the
Democratic party in the event of their Access
sion to power in 1879, a result which he evil
IDENTIFY greatly fears, also garbled statement
of the finances and left-handed compliment
