e the effect of alienating them. He expressed his desire that government should be re-established by loyal citizens, and not placed at the mercy of the aggravated people in the disloyal States. The bill, he said, was based upon the erroneous policy that there could be no government unless formed by the majority. The loyal people should be left to work out their organic law in their own way. He hoped that the bill prescribing an iron, unbending rule, would fail to become a law. Mr. Schenck sent up to be read a dispatch, inclosed to him by the Secretary of War, from Lieutenant-General Grant, saying the Richmond Examiner of to-day states that Charleston was evacuated on Tuesday. The reading was succeeded by applause in all parts of the House. Mr. Fernando Wood congratulated the House and the country that at last was heard the language of conciliation from the Republican side of the House. Mr. Garfield wished to know whether the gentleman referred to the dispatch

f party are the misfortune of this whole matter. A distinguished Republican, of the rank of major-general, recently said to me that if the thing were left to soldiers of the Union and rebel armies, who fraternize everywhere, they would settle it at short order. Caucussing in quiet is the leading business now of Congressmen and other politicians. Thaddeus Stevens stirs around among the members, which fact indicates that he is not having things all his own way. The contest between Schenck and Sherman for the Senatorship in Ohio is understood to be close. It may be affected by the reconstruction question. It is understood that on to-morrow both branches of Congress will adjourn over until Monday, and from that day until after Christmas. It is also understood in Republican party circles that the credentials and other papers of Southern Senators and Representatives are to be referred to the joint select committee, to sleep until the end of the session.

ure the whole country.--National Intelligencer. The late Hon. Thomas Corwin. The Postmaster-General will cause the remains of Mr. Corwin to be transmitted directly to Ohio, accompanied by some of his old intimate personal friends. The Ohio delegation, with other Congressmen, and others who were friends of the deceased, had a meeting to-day at the capitol concerning the subject of his demise, and funeral speeches were made by Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sherman, Davis, of Kentucky; Schenck, Secretary Seward and Johnson, of Maryland. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the funeral. Withdrawal of Provisional Governors. It is given out from an excellent quarter that in all of the Southern States where regular Governors have been elected, the Provisional Governors will be immediately withdrawn and their successors duly inaugurated, as in the case of Alabama.

, preferring this mode, rather than the ballot, of expressing their wishes. [We stated several days since that this was the course recommended to, and by, the radicals.] A New Senator Sustains the President. Very unexpectedly to the radicals, Mr. Stewart, one of the new Senators from Nevada, made a speech to-day in favor of the general policy of the President. Good Signs. It is a good sign in that the radicals have lost temper. Accordingly, when Mr. Raymond spoke to-day, Schenck, Bingham, and one or two other malignant, violated the courtesies ever extended on the occasion of the first effort of a new member by interruptions every three or four sentences. I was told by two or three Republican correspondents in the gallery that Mr. Raymond's effort was strong; that his interrogators were not able to break the thread of his argument or disturb his temper, though the provocation was excessive, nor catch him in any snare set by the tormentors. Being an editor, he

take the test oath. The argument against the constitutionality of the Congressional test oath has been delivered, and it is rumored about that the court will decide against it. Mr. Chase is decieedly in favor of exacting it, but the rest of the judges do not, it is said, agree with him. Constitutional Amendments. Thirteen different propositions are now pending before the House Committee on the Judiciary to amend the Constitution of the United States, one of which, introduced by Mr. Schenck, to apportion representatives among the several States according to the number of actual voters, has been agreed on, and will probably be brought before the House next month. This is another scheme of the Radicals to perpetuate their power over the South; but inasmuch as it requires the sanction of three-fourths of the States, it will hardly be as successful as the anti-slavery amendment, which only became a part of the fundamental law of the land by the action of some of the late rebell
