Second. That Christ, as a child Of Adam,
was personally accounted guilty of Adams sin;
that, like other children Of Adam, he Inherited
a corrupt nature, and that he needed to be aod

Contrary to previous announcement and gen.
.ral expectation, including that of those most
nterested-the several candidates for Speaker
the Cabinet yesterday afternoon determined
o postpone the meeting Of the extra session OF
Congress until the middle Of next October. So
t seems, after a, that there is to be an effort
20 organize the House of Representatives upon
republican basis by means of promised home
ule and conciliatory policy in the South, and
id to the Southern Pacific Railroad. 1t will
not succeed, however. for the South has been
deceived too often by radical promises to be
caught 10 the same trap again. Promises,
though easily made, are more easily broken,
aud much cannot be expected from an Admin
istrstion that is already engaged 10 completing
The bargains it made for its possession Of the
Government, by paying those who were instru-
mental in efecting the necessary frauds.

1t is not improbable that Mr.. Massie. of Al

probably favor, if not reputation. reduction

such an issue will not be raised, and that the
