Tn Senate went into executive ses

fh1nf and had a lively time over the CON
tirmation of the Presidents appoint

~ Senator Schurz who were decanitated
for daring 10 differ with thu President on
State questions. Mr.. Schurz made a
most powerful effort to save his friends

a1kirs ofths States. Mr.. IS 'hurz vas
Wiling rqmake peace ifthese removals
of his renlsSwts stpppea. butdhe Pres
id6 has signified HIS determination to
ash ont all Radicals who do not sub
scribe to every article of tho Radical
faith. After -four hours of hot and spicy
lrba,e all of the appointments we re con-
firmed. Senator Schur4fWas punished.
Ex-senator Drake was revenge ed, and the
President has taught recalcitrant Sena.
tors what they may expect. The ChrOH-
icle of this city hopes that the quarrel
will now cease to have National ehar-
Acter, and BE confined to the State, and
that no pains will be spared 10 restore
harmony. If Senator Schurz; will per.
NIT himself to be snub5ed and then
Kicked. as he has been by thr President
sgd Senate. H. is not the ran, which his
marn.r, notions nd speech indicate.
From his present views and, position he
must ~erfurce find refuge in the Demo
cratic party. HIS party will never come
up to the views and principles laid down
by HIM in, his late speech, an their l.
tolerance in bounding him is whr.s ne
might rave expected from tb1sc ~no did
the same to Senators roxa.., Dixon and
Doolittie for a difference of views.

yesterday authorizing the appointment
of q sTecial committee to investigate tn e
cor.dition OF the Southern States is an
other ste in the hellIsh conspiracy to
I hand over the Southern States to the
tender mercies of Grants military tools
in the interest Of Radicalism. Governor
Holden and his infamous jackall, Col
Kirk, who are now here, will be among
the honest and reliable witnesses to be
summoned. Some of the outrages which
arc detailed in the documents which the
F re sident sent to the Senate are actual
" dated before the war was over, the
rest are a rehssh Of what the public are
familiar with from the statements made
and denied time and time again in the
Papers during the past six years. The
Negro National Labor Convention, mt
the suggestion of the consPir ,tors, have
added their mite in the shape of q mem'
orial, which they presented to the SeratG ,
detailing their grievances. Radicals
from the South, now here, are greatly
delighted at the prospect of q military
control in that section, and suggest that
b~ayonots and b~loodhounds are necessary
TO crush out the Ku-Klux. En- other
words bayonets. and b~loodhounds are
necessary to keep the carpet baggers AMI
1.-The worse s~eaH5waRs in political power
against the will of the people.
Senaton Ham'in yesterday brought
Expectations which our Radical brethren
lin Congress are so famous for All that
he wants the Government to do is to sic
in the bpilding of a railroad, double
track. sleel rails and iron bridges, from
Portland, Me-, to Chicago. He only
asks the triae of $4,000 per mile, in ak
per cent thirty-year bonds; a mere baga
telle SLich, no doubt, our Radical econ
omists will grant.
The bill which Senator Conkling faith
ers, to aid in the construction of twenty
or more first class iron steamships, to-
gether with ship yards. machine shops,
locks, etc, was under consideration by
the Committee on Commerce yesterday,
and they will report favorably or it. Mr..
Dawes, who talks conomy and votes
freely for depicting the cash box of our
common Uncle Samuel, introduced the
same bill in the House yesterday. This
is an immense thing, but WIN are the
parties especially to be benefited 1
cannot just yet determine.
There is a small difference of opinion
exist g between the Commissioners of
Internal Revenue and the Secretary Of
the Treasury. The Commissioner went
before the House Committee of Ways
and Means and recommended the total
abolish of the tax-as he demonstrates
that it costs as much to collect it Os it
returns to the Treasury. Secretary
Boutwell, is still in favor of the tax and
should Congress rereal it he will recon-
mend more special taxation. Boutwell,
believes in grinding all the money posi-
bIe out of the people, 10 matter how
mDch he cripples or brushes the different
industries Of the country, when on the
! contrary they should be fostered and en-
c~ouraged. AIeaf from England'a finan-
cial policy would be a beneficial study
for our great Boutwell,, the debt payer.
The Radicals are now taking to them
selves a crumb OF consolation over the
fact that General Blair will -on'y have
two years to serve in the Senate. A
little consolation goes a great ways in
these times of Radical tribhlation.
The Administration, or more properly
General Grant, has sustained another
defeat in the person of the rabid and
vilely vindictive Southern Halter, Senator
Thayer, of NebraShr, who, th0egh armed
with a letter from Grant stating that his
especial desire was TO have him (Thayerl
returned to the Senate, he was defeated
BY a Mr.. Hitchcock foI the position.
Are the Radicals opposed to Presiden
hal interference and dictation : or is
this en- indication that Grant is no long

trying to smuegle that Territory in as a
