THE AMNESTY BILL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The amnesty |
bill was yesterday before the senate. From |
the backing and filling" of the radical
senators on this question and the pulling |
toge,he- of the canting moral RAIDS. of the
east and west, and the plundering, blum
dering carpet-baggers of the south, who
scarcely care to assume the garb Of hypo- |
critics, when anything sproposcd that looks
like amnesty am more than ever convin-
ced that there is an understanding to stave |
it off. Of course Schurz, Trumbull and |
Feuton are not in this secret; neither is
Sumner, the bull in the china shop, who
| plays directly into the hands of the "clique"
and smashes everything by his Internal
miscegenaton amendment, for it means
nothing more nor less. The result will be
that amnesty will be defeated through
Summers negro mania and the adminlstra-
ton whom he is unintentionally serving,
will point 10 Grant as favoring amnesty
and his opponent Sumner as defeating it.
SENATOR NORWOOD,
the new Georgia senator, IN his maiden
speech completely riddled Summers amend
ment and pointed out most clearly and
convinclngly the object oft, miscegena-
ton, and the evils which would flow from
its adoption. lie is an able addition to
the senate. Senator Carpenter, one Of the
Grant clique played With Sumner much
to the amusement Of the senate and gale
ries. This l judge was the part assign ed
him in the amnesty force. 1t appeared
that Carpenter is, according to Carpenter,
great lover of the constitution, which
no one would have known judging by his
votes, and, as everyone knows Sumner
dotes on the declaration of independence.
These two WORTHLESS spread themselves on
their devotion TO their respective stand

ended in laugh against the august

TROUBLE BREwlNG IL THE RADICAL CAMP.
Sumner claims that his amendment will
command sufficient votes 10 tack it to the
amnesty bin and it /. said that even
Schurz will vote for i, rs amended. The
house will not concur; the radical mem
beers of that body being more nearly re-
sponsible to their constituents for their
acts will not dare to go before the people
| for reelection after voting to mix the two
cplors in the public schools, and they, from
policy alone, will defeat the measure.
\samner will then withdraw it and place
