FROM WASHINGTON.
The Question at the Admission of Oar
Senators—Clift Heard from—Bulloch
end Blodgett Want Further Recon
struction.
■Washington, December 7—Noon.—Both
Houses organized this morning.
The case of Christie and Wimpey, con
testants from the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict of Georgia, was referred to the Election
Committee.
The oredentials of H. V. M. Miller and
Joshua Hill, Senators from Georgia, were np
in the Senate.
The Clerk is reading a memorial of the
negroes who were expelled from the Georgia
Legislature.
Menard, who claims to succeed Mann as
Senator from Louisiana, palpably a man of
color, is on the floor of the House.
Washington, December 7—Evening.—The
Snpreme Court, headed by Chief Justice
Chase, Attorney General Evarts attending,
visited President Johnson to Jay. The Su
preme Coart had a fall Bench, except Judge
Greer.
The discussion of the Georgir Senatorial
question was warmly sustained to-day. Mr.
Hill's oredentials were only presented. Mr.
Miller will probably require the removal of
his political disabilities, and it was thought
best not to compUcate Mr. Hill's credentials.
The Republican party are divided on this
question.
Messrs. Ackerman, Baird, Speer, and other
members of Congress from Georgia, (except
Clift,) urge Mr. Hill's admission. Bullock
and Foster Blodgett, supported by J. W.
Qlift, are urging the delay of the matter.
The Commissioner of. Internal Kevenue
will, during the week,-transmit to the Presi
dent his resignation; to take effect at the
close of the present month.
It appears that Menard, negro, is here
withont credentials from the Governor,
as stated in the noon dispatches. The col
ored Library Association addressed a note to
Menard urging him to make no effort for a
seat, as it would certainly Tesnlt in general
dissatisfaction.
The weather is bad and the telegraph n ortii-
ward works very slow. T
Bullock, of Georgia,: addressed a communi
cation to Congress, representing that the
laws of Congress under which Georgia has
been admitted into the Union were not frilly
complied with, and holding that until such
compliance was made, the government of the
State must continue provisional The failure
to comply with the law lies in failing to exact
from the officers elected the oath prescrib
ed by Congress, and administering- instead
that provided by the proposed Georgia Con-
Etitntion, which failed to execute the law of
Congress, has resulted in the defeat of the
purposes which Congress held in view in
passing these acts, namely, affording ade
quate pqtfctjqi} for life and property, main
tenance of pen'oel good order and the free ex
pression of politicSTopinion. -Bullock states
that the wisdom-displayed by Congress in
providing thnt only loyal men should partici
pate is the establishment of the provisional
government to he thereafter clothed with all
the rights and immunities of a State, is mads
apparent by the consequences arising from a
failure to enforce that" legislation. He calls
tha attention of- Congress to this subject to
the end that steps be taken to obtain full in
formation in relation thereto, and to the end
that loyalty may be protected and promoted
by the enforcement of- 'Hie laws enacted by
the representatives of the American people.
In the House one hundred and sixty-four
members were ^present." Several new mem
bers were swom irr after proceeding.
It was reported at noon that the credentials
of Mr. Hamilton, had ^een referred to the

Important Interview with Chief Justice
Chase. tep-mwaps s&l
(From the Revolution.
A. J. Grover, Esq., who furnishes the fol
lowing interesting and valuable account of a
long conversation with Judge Chose, is one of
the most respectable and influential members
of the bar of Illinois, formerly of Massachu
setts. His statements cannot but command
the deepest attention in every part of the
conntry.
Peteuseubo, Va., November 24, 1868.
Editors of the Revdidion:
I came fromWashington to Aquia Creek on
the same boat and occnpled the same seat in
the care yesterday with Chief Justice Chase.
Introducing myself as an attorney from Illi
nois, and a member of the bar of his court, I
drew him into conversation by- interrogations
upon a variety of national questions. I found
him very talkative indeed, and-willing to ex-
f ress his opinions upon most subjects which
introduced. In regard to impeachment, he
said Johnson was probable impeachable, and
when to caUed to preside over the high court
which was to try him, he hoped and-expected
that it would conduct itself in a becoming
manner, and with that dignity and judicial
decorum which ought always, and had always
heretofore, characterized great State trials,
but that the Senators occupied their seats in
stead of being seated on the right and left of
the presiding judge os the supreme judges
and as other Senates have done in the trial of
impeachments; that Senators did not conduct
themselves like judges, but read newspapers,
wreffe letters, and railed at Johnson, as John
son had railed at the Senate; that they de
nounced Johdson as the greatest criminal of
the age during the trial, when that was the
very question which they had sworn impar- *
tially to try; that sitting ns a Senate they
made the rules by which to govern and con
duct the trial,' when aU this should have been
deferred until after the organization of the
court; that bad the trial been conducted with
due regard to formalities and usages becom
ing to grave and reverend Senators sitting as
judges in such a case, that whatever bad been
the judgment reudered, the moral effect
would have been favorable. Ha said that ar
ticles might have been drawn under which
Johnson would probably have been convict
ed; that the reason why such articles were
not presented was that certain men high in
office and in the Republican party were as
deep in the mud as Johnson was in the mire;
that Mr. Stevens confessed this was the fitet.
In reply to a question, Mr. Chase said that
he did not regard General Butler as the ablest
of the impeachment managers; that Butler
bad great intellectual power, but was a good
deal of an Old-Bailey lawyer; that Wilson of
Iowa or Mr. Bingham were Butler’s superiors
as sound lawyers and statesmen. He said
that he did not believe the stories abont the
personal dishonesty of Butler; that nothing
affecting his personal integrity had ever come
to his knowledge while acting os Secretary of
the Treasury.
Speaking of General Grant, Mr. Chase said,
Now you have got your President, what are
you goiug to do with him? I replied, better
inquire “what he is going to <j° with us?”
adding, “Is he in sympathy with the Repub
lican party on negro suffrage?" Mr. Chase
said, I don’t know anymore about General
Grant than you do. I do not think he is per
sonally in favor of negro suffrage, but I do
not think he will oppose the wishes and acts
of the party. He thought General Grant was
a man of great practical judgment in milita
ry matters. He did not agree with those who
asserted that he was merely a fortunate man.
Would take a rebel general for President if
he had repented. Sudden conversions, he
would admit, were to be distrusted; they
might be unlike.St. Paul's in every other re
spect. He preferred the financial part of the
Democratic platform to the Republican plat
form in that respect. Said it would be repu
diation to insist upon paying the five-twen
ties issued under the act of February, 1862,
in greenbacks. I told him' that I wrote tbe
fourth resolution of the Republican platform,
against repudiation. He said that is a good
resolution. He said he was opposed to con
solidating the national indebtedness into a
long loan. Was in favor of paying the debt
as quickly as possible, in gold. The people
will pay np the debt or repudiate it If the
bonds were to be changed, he was in favor of
a short loan. Did not care whether the new
bonds were exempt from taxation or not It
would make no real difference to the people.
That taxation wonid necessarily increase the
rate of interest if the bonds remained in the
country. Taxation and low interest would
drive the bonds out of the canntiy, and thus
drain off all the specie. Was in favor of a
return to speaiq. payment No need of di
minishing the volume or changing the char
acter of the currency to effect this.
In reply to a question, Mr. Chase said he
was glad he was not nominated by tbe - Dem
ocrats on the platform which they adopted.
He could never have accepted a platform op
posed to tbe rights of the negro. He did
not say be would not like to be President. If
he could have done so, would have been glad
to have accepted the Democratic. nomination
and stopped the crusade of the party qga,inst
the negro. This would have beep a good
thing for the whole pqmriry- Being on his
way to Riobroqnc) td hold court; I asked him
when he'expected to try Jeff. Davis. He re
plied that be did not know when, Jeff Davis
would be tried. That the Government had
control of Jeff. Davis and was responsible
for the delay. That ha bftd alwqys been
ready to try him. He did pot. kpo,w why
Davis hap been qllqweq to go off to Europe.
I asked the Chief Justice what he thought
of the proppsaci aipendipept to the Constitu
tion to <mnfer equal .suffrage ppop the citi
zens of pll the'tftates. He saiffhe had froth
ing tq do with it, hut thought it wopld be as
well tq leave that matter with the States, i
expressed the hope that the word male as well
os the word to/iife wonid be left out of the
amendment if it should be submitted to th9
States for adoption. Mr. Chase said it could
never pass Congress with theword mole left
out He, personally, would be glad to see
tbe experiment-of female suffrage fairly tried.
I remarked that he was generally supposed
[. to] be friendly. to the .^fdff£ri ! S right* (nove-
menti He saicl ha certainly had no objec
tions to female suffrage; that all of bis in
stincts were Democratic, J
Resuming the- greenback question, I asked
why we could hot substitute greenbacks for
the national bank currency; and thus save
the wastage anfij' the ' interest on ’ tha bends
deposited by ’the banks r Mr. Chase; replied
that vvh ippaf^M^ haplw. 'tq Mteplate the
greepbai&s, apd \imt tire national bank cur
rency was really greenbacks. That be fried
hard when the law was'before tho committee
to have tbe wastage! qqcrpg tq th? govern
ment, bht pppld pqi fee corpmUtee to re-
pofl ihe hill with speh a p.ro,vision. Tlpit he
tried to speure; the. wastage, to. the Govern- 1
rnent on the ope-clqlldp pates even, but failed
in this, I^e said that so'rpany of the mem
bers of Congress were interested in banking
that it was impossible to, get what he .wanted;
that no modification at' tho law curtailing the
profits of the hatiqnal bankers could, bo
passed for the same reaso.u. That many of
the Republican ?ea4 er e ftfrd office-holders
were corrupt and unprincipled men. That
he had littlp confidence - ill the Republican
party for this reason. The masses are
honest, but the leaders are bad men. If the
party succeeded in conferring suffrage npon
tho negro, It would probably be tbe last of its
acts for tbe benefit of the country. The party
had been in power so long, bad men largely
controlled it. Little can be expected of it in
future. SShr
The Chief .Tpstiee eefciua i;p, be very cheer
ful and happy; notat’ all sour or morose, as
he^"represented fone'by some of the Re
publican papers. He appeared strong and
vigorous in' health, anu does not seem to

years. He reads" the finest type without

underwent in July last, and that be is likely
to live long enough to he a candidate for tbe
Presidency several times yet, and that the
country is much more likely to get several
worse before one better President than Chief
Justice Chase would make.

[From tlie Augusta Coustitution&lisL]
An Excellent Word from the North.
If we are not grossly deceived by the
signs of tho times, wo can perceive a steady
and beneficent promise of political modera
tion in almost every quarter. Granting that
these.symptoms are not illusory; and trusting-
that no rude blasts of excessive hate or
vengeance may bring them, if really existing,
'to an untimely end; we have fairer hopes of a
more quiet destiny in the years to come.. It
may be that tbe people are too far gone in
corruption to become suddenly magnanimous;
it may be that those who have thus far fat
tened upon agitation will continue to stir the
bell-broth -of discord; but it cannot be denied
that, for the moment; there is a pause in
-the storm, and that men’s minds seem whole
somely bending to considerations of peace.
We know that such desires prevail extensive
ly in the South.. That they are not wanting
in tbe North,- let this manly and masterly
article from the New Haven (Conn.) RegisUr
amply and feelingly testify:.
“SECESSioklSTS—ABOLITIONISTS.
“As time rolls OirtheF-real attitude of the
Southern States towards their sister States
before the war will be more perfectly under
stood than it is now by tbe masses of the
Northern people. In these days of passion
and prejudice-probably not one man in a
thousand understands tho real starting point
of the-lnte calamitous civil war. It is be
lieved that tbe South took up arms for the
sole purpose of fighting the North and taking
to themselves the government of the Union !
Yet the secessionists had no such thought in
their minds. Writhing under realand fancied
wrongs, and full of apprehension in regard to
the future safety of their domestic institu
tions, they grew fanatical upon the right qf
peaceable secession. This right they believed
to be constitutional, and they felt that if they
were assailed by force of arms in its exercise,
we would be the aggressora, and they would
he simply acting upon the defensive. It was
for this reason that they so long -hesitated
before they advanced upon Pennsylvania or
any Northern State. ‘Let us alone, and we
will let you alone,’ was their motto, until
they thought their existence depended upon
a new position, that of the' offensive. When
these facts afford no justification for the
course of the South in attempting , to leave
the Union without the consent of the North,
they should, nevertheless, be remembered as
a part of the history of tbe war, and ; they
should inspire the victors in the contest with
the more leniency towards tbe vanquished,
and with more faith in their promises to come
back to their allegiance as good and true
men.
“That wo are right in these views, wa give
no less authority than that of Henry Clay, (a
Southern man,) a great statesman, and a true
Union man. He said in a letter to the New
York merchants, in 1851, as follows:
“The alleged right of secession is, I appre
hend, sometimes confounded with the right of
revolutions. But its partisans mean a totally.
different thing. They contend that it is a
peaceful, lawful, and if not constitutiona,
remedy, that it is not forbidden by the Cbnstilu-
tion. They insist that it is a State right, to
be recognized a yd respected; and that when
ever exercised by a State, far from being
censured or condemned, the State, if necessa
ry, is entitled to tbe co-operation of other
/States.”
“How few Northern men, even among th9
intelligent, understand this thing in this way.
Instead of regarding their Southern brethren
as deluded by a false theory, a wrong princi
ple, they hold them to the responsibility of
attempting an aggressive war upon u3, whereas
they always insisted that they were only pro
tecting themselves against our coercion—the
constitutional right of which they denied.
Mr. Clay showed that they were wrong, that
secession was nothing less than revolution.
But this does not affect. their motives or in-
teutious. Yet, now that the war is over, their
error in theory should not be treated as if
they intended a destructive war upon us !
‘‘Then it should be remembered that an or
gan of no less influence than the New York
Tribune, at the moment when the secession
ists were deliberating upon tbeir right to
withdraw peaceably from the Union, used the
following language:
‘“If the Cotton States shall become satis
fied that they -eon do better out of the Union
than in.it, we insist npon letting them go in
peace-' * * ‘We hope never to live in a
republic whereof one keotiou is pinned to
another by a bayonet.'
“Such language as this, coming from such
a source, bad a prodigious effect in pushing
forward tbe sohemesof the secessionists. But
Mr. Greeley was not alono in thus encourag
ing the movements which resulted in the
butchery of so many gallant men, North and.
Sonth, and the loss of thousands of millions
of treasure. Even Benjamin Wade, in his
place in tho Senate in 1860, said:
“ ‘I am not one of those who would ask
them (the Sonth) to continue iu suoh a Union.
You cannot forcibly hold men in this Union;
for the attempt to qo so, it seems to - me,
would subvert the fimt principles of the Gov
ernment under which we live.’
“Is it not, then, cruel to put all the respon
sibility of this civil war upon the excited
Southern men, when we read such declara
tions as these from the acknowledged organs
of the Republican party, who, having led the
secessionists into their terrible troubles, now,
instead of frying to help them Putin the
easiest way possible, seek to trample them
underfoot, and otherwise degrade them!
“But what say the aholitionists? They have
not the poor excuse of the secessionists, for
they do not pretend that their condnot is' ex
cused by the Constitution! They declared
that sacred instrument to be a “league with
death and a covenant with hell! Wendell
Phillips is not a voter, because he refuses to
take the oath to support the Constitution.
Yet Ithe secessionists, who were deluded, are
persecuted unto death, while the mprQ guilty
abolitionists are permitted tq hold the reins
of government! Rut ju B ti.ee cannot be for
ever deferred-

The Perpetual Session of Congress Act.
Senator Trumbull, in conversation to-day,
expresssed the opinion that the act providing
for a March session of Congress will net be
repealed this wifrt er > notwithstanding all
statements tq the contrary. Tho Senator
considers (he piavision for such session to be
very desirable, us it insures an early organ
ization of the Eorty-first Congress, and is cal
culated to cause all the States to hold con
gressional elections ai an earlier day. As
the laws of the different States now stand,,
the elections take place at different seasons,
so that there never is a full Congress till to
wards' December.' It is thought tbe provis
ion for a March session will cause a uniform
time for suoh elections, so that a frill house
may he prepared to meet and organize in
March. It is not regarded as probable that
any legislation will be entered upon, however,
the idea being that the House will merely or
ganize and then adjourn.—iV.' Y. Herald, 3d.
