Tax r'holera in New Y’ork.—The extra
ordinary mortality in tho city of New York
for the last few days, left little doubt of the
existence of a state of things now conceded to
Ic true. The cholera has commenced its
ravages in earnest among the inhabitants of
the great commercial metropolis, and, cou
riering the manner in which a very large
proportion of the lower classes of that city
live, we may look for frightful accounts for
some weeks, if not months, to come. Besides
the sacrifice of human life, the effects upon
the commercial interests of the city must be
disastrous.

will have a feeling and an interest to mippn
strife and preserve the friendly intercourse of
all.
In its commercial aspect, the subject looms
up in vast proportions. Wc shall not now
attempt to draw tho picture in advance, but
should the project succeed, there will not be
many days before we shall witness the com
mencement of the revolution.
Wc would only add the hope that the ad
ministration of the Atlantic Telegraph may
be governed by enlightened and libera] prin
ciples. It is a great monopoly, and wc hope
the people, while they receive its advantages,
may not bo made to feel too sensibly its
power.
Probable Arrest of the Murderer of
Mrs. Rollins.—The Tallahassee Floridian of
the 15th instant says: “A negro man,answer
ing the description of one of the murderers
ot Mrs. Rollins, was arrested on one planta
tion near this city last Friday. He obtained
employment under the name of Columbus,
but answered to the name of William when
unexpectedly called by that name before his
arrest. He says lie had no hand in the mur
der, but heard of it on the day he left Geor
gia; also, that the negro who did commit the
murder accompanied him part of the way.—
There can he very little doubt that this is the
identical negro mentioned in the handbills re
ceived here, as he answers the description in
several particulars. We understand that Mr.
Rollins has been telegraphed for, to identify
the negro, and take such steps for his trial as
may be necessary.”

It has been officially reported to the Com
manding General, thatone Pompey O’Bannon,
confined at Toombsboro, Wilkinson county,
Georgia, upon a charge of mnrder, was taken
from legal custody by a mob, and put to
death with inhuman atrocity.
■ The facts shown by investigation are that
O’Bannon was the probable accomplice of
William (now a fugitive) in the mur-
llox. A. H. Stephens.—The Covington
Examiner says: We have been assured by a
gentleman in correspondence with the above
distinguished personage, that he is in favor
of Georgia being represented in the Phila
delphia Convention. Mr. Stephens thinks
that good will result from an interchange of
opinions, ami commingling of the people,
from both sections in the Convention, and
that the Iricnds of President Johnson are dis
posed to fraternize with the people of the
South in good faith, on honorable terms, with
a view to sustaining the President's policy,
and restoring the South to the full enjoy
ment of her rights in the government.

Startling Disclosures.—The New York
Times of Tuesday contains a long and most
important letter from Mr. Raymond, its chief
editor and now a member of Congress, ne
declares that if the Radicals have a majority
of Congressmen in December from the North
ern Statei, they will set up as the Congress,
excluding the South Jby force of arms, and
that the bill recently jtassol by the House to
distribute arms among tho Northern Militia
the “first ttep towardspreparation for an-
Mereiril war." He says the Philadelphia Con
vention grew as a necessity, out of the bad
conduct of tho Union party, and they had
better now calculate its strength before they

ous violence toward other members of the
family; that he was taken from the jail at
this place upon a warrant, and delivered to
the Deputy Sheriff in said county; that he
was then seized by a mob of 200 or 800 per
sons of Toombsboro and vicinity, and, by
their unanimous vote, was chained to a tree,
and, after his care had been cut off, was tor
tured to death by burning.
These unlawful proceedings show that the
civil authorities are unable to compel respect
for even the forms ot justice in Baid county.—
Therefore, as there is reason to believe that
upon the apprehension of the supposed prin
cipal of O’Bannon, civilization wiil be again
disgraced in a like manner, the transfer of

thereby forbidden until executive guaranty is
shown that due process of law will not be ex
ceeded in his case.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
OF THE GEORGIA TELEORATH.
Report on Mexican Relation*—Important News
from Europe—The Dissolution of the Cabinet—
When will Congress Afijoum—The Freedman’s
Bureau Bill Passed Over the Veto—No Cholera
Yet.
Washington, July 17, 1860.
The Committee on Foreign Relations have
been, for a long time past, engaged in pre
paring a report on Mexican affairs, the pre
sentation of which may be daily expected
and is looked for w'.th great interest. It has
been changed twice, since it was first written,
several paragraphs having been expunged,
and others substituted. Among the circum
stances which caused these changes, were,
1st, the conviction in the minds of the
members ot the committee that Ortega, and
not Juarez, is the legal President of the
Mexican Republic: and, 2d, certain intelli
gence from London and Paris, recently re
ceived at the State Department, to the effect
that Napoleon is perfect master of tho sit
uation in Europe, that tho war will be speed
ily terminated, that it will result in the ex
tension of the eastern frontier of France to
the Rhine, and that whatever Napoleon’s
plans may be, in regard to Mexico, tho pres
ent war in Europe will constitute no obstacle
in the way of the accomplishment of those
plans.
The report of the Committee is
understood to take strong grounds in
favor of the Munroo doctrine. But it
does not recommend intervention, at pres
ent: indeed, it recommends non-interven
tion, nnd tho observance of a strict neu
trality, in order that it may be seen wheth
er or not the French troops will be with
drawn from Mexico in good iaith, and what
course the Mexican people will pursue to-
have left Mexico. It is said, also, that tlie
report recommends, or at least looks towards,
some kind of on alliance with, or the ultimate
extension of aid to, Gen. Ortega, but only on
condition that after the evacuation of Mex
ico by the French, the Mexican people mani
fest a unanimous and unmistakable unwilling
ness to remain under the Imperial govern
ment of Maximilian.
Tt is difficult to state the exact position of
affairs in the Cabinet. Mr. Dennison, the
Postmaster General, has resigned. The Pres
ident, on Thursday lost, requested Mr. Stan
ton, Mr. Speed and Mr. Harlan to do so also.
3fr. Speed complied with the request yester
day ; Mr. Stanton and Mr. Harlan have refus
ed to do so up to to-day, and remain in the
Cabinet, where they nse their influence in
working actively against the President’s poli
cy. They do this under the advice of the
Radicals in Congress. It is of immense ad
vantage to the latter thus to have two spies
in the Cabinet, by whom they may be kept
informed of all that the President says and
does, and of all his plans and secret thoughts.
I should not be surprised, therefore, if Stan
ton and Harlan remain in the Cabinet till they
are kicked out But what I am surprised at
is, that the President permits them to stay
there for a single day. Their presence in the
Cabinet renders him utterly powerless to car
ry out bis policy.
Mr. Seward and Mr. McCulloch will remain
in tho Cabinet, in any event The President
relies npon Mr. Seward as the main support
of lii9 administration. It was with Mr. Sew
ard alone, that he consulted, when he first
conceived the idea of the Philadelphia Na
tional Convention. It was with Mr. Seward
that be studied out and elaborated the plan
of the Convention in all its details, „ n< | f ina i_
ly, it was Mr. Seward who wrote the call ror
the Convention. In the present condition of
our foreign relations, there is no other man
who could take hold of the State Depart
ment, and manage them with so much ability
and tact, ns Mr. Seward. Mr. Seward too,
has had the good sense to see from the first,
the absurdity and impracticability ot resusci
tating the republic oi Mexico, and has kept
Mr. Campbell here, instead of sending him
off on a wild goose chase alter Juarez; and
he has so shaped nnd monlded oar foreign
policy on this subject, that we rau9t maintain
neutrality towards Mexico, if wc would avoid
war with France.

Proceedings of the'Second Caucus on Sat
urday-
present Congress, the action of the two hous
es has keen determined beforehand by a se
cret caucus of the Republican members.—
This caucus would meet, agree upon a
jinc of policy, and then the two Houses
would cajiy this out. The question of the time
cf the adjournment of tho present session has
just been determined in this manner. A cau
cus of tho Republican members has determin
ed, by a vote of CO to 40, that Congress shall
adjourn on the 23d inst. Congress has not
yet ratified this determination, but, although
the session may be prolonged till the end of
this month, there is no probability at present
that it will extend into August
As I have intimated would be the case, the
President vetoed the Freedmen’s Bureau bill.
But both nouses passed it over the veto, by
unusually large votes, and in a few minutes
after the veto message was received. This
indecent baste was intended as a direct insult
to the President.
Encouraged by their success here, the Rad
icals in Congress intend now to pass every one
ot their measures before they adjourn, especi
ally those that have been vetoed.
The heat of the weather here for the last
few days has been unprecedented. The ther
mometer has ranged from 98 to 102 degrees
in the shade, being at 98 at 7, P. 31., and at
90 during the nights. Strange tn say, the
general health ot the city is good, although
of course there has been great suffering from
the heat.
There has been no cholera here, and proba
bly will be none, which will be a source of
great thankfulness. I learn from New York,
also, from the highest medical authority, that
there has not been a single case of real Asiatic
cholera in that city this year. There has been
ns much “ cholera” there every year, as there
has been this summer.

The Governors of Cuba.—The fortunate
Spaniards who become Governors of Cuba
make large sums of monev. They receive a
salary of $50,000, have a State carnage fur
nished them at the public expense, three pal
aces to live in, and their authority is almost
unlimited. Of course there arc enormous
pickings under such a system; and Governor
Dulce, who has recently rctured to Spain, is
reported to have made a million of dollars.—
Concha, a former Governor, carried away $3,-
000,000, whilst Serrano, who was almost a
bankrupt, but a favorite, of the Queen, was
appointed Captain-General of Cuba for the
sole purpose of recuperating his fortunes.
Death of Col. A. G. Summer.—The Co
lumbia Phoenix records (he death of Colonel
A. G. Summer, who conducted the South
Caiolinian, at Columbia, of which place he
was a native, for a number of years. He was
a man of generous disposition, and edited
the paper referred to with decided ability du
ring a stormy time in the political history of
this State. He had recently resided in Flori
da, and was only on a visit to Columbia.
The Weather North.—Whilst we are
suffering from heat in the South, we feel
comparatively comfortable when wc read the
Northern accounts. The mercury lias ranged
this week as follows: New York, 98; Balti
more. 100; Albany, 100; Allentown, 103;
Hartford, 99.
Gen. Kilpatrick.—It is said that the
charges against Gen. Kilpatrick are unfound
ed.—Exchange.
If rebel testimony be allowed, he can be
convicted of conduct quito as infamous, at
a dozen places where he chanced to stay all
night in Georgia, as anything alleged against
him at Valparaiso. He is cuaigcd with in
troducing an abandoned woman into respect
able circles, to which his position as a repre
sentative of the United States Government
gave him access. He usually had two won-
tons with him, when he passed through this
State, and we know of at least one instance
where a Georgia housewife was obliged to

Special Despatch to the New York Times.
Washington, Sunday, July 15, 1866.
A caucus of Republican members of.Con
gress was held on Wednesday evening in the
Hall of the House of Representatives.
On motion of Mr. 3Iornll, of Vermont, Gen.
Banks of Massachusetts was elected Chair
man, nnd 3Ir. Feny, of Michigan, Secretary.
The caucus, so far as tlie House was concern
ed, was quite full, but only eight Senators
were present.
Mr. Hotchkiss, of New York, said the meet
ing was called at the request of himself and
others, and its object was to have an inter
change of views as to the best course to be
pursued in regard to the rumored removal of
office-holders by the President. He had no
doubt that such removal was intended as
soon as Congress should adjourn, and in his
own State a licensed “head butcher” had al
ready been appointed, and stood at the door
ready to strike. He deemed it the duty of
Congress to stand by its friends, and to make
any sacrifice necessary to keep them in of
fice. He thought Congress should remain in
session so as to prevent removals
A motion was put nnd carried that no
member should speak more than lire minutes,
nor more than once.
Mr. Cobb, of Wisconsin, offered a resolution
declaring every one present to be in honor
bound to act in Congress and elsewhere in ac
cordance with the decisions of the caucus—
but this was voted down. A resolution ot
secrecy was adopted, on motion of 3fr. Cobb.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, expressed his concur
rence with what had been said of tho necessi
ty of taking some action on tne suujivt .*■ rft .
movals. He thought Congress should take a
recess, instead of adjourning.
Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, then offered a
resolution, declaring that Congress would re
main in session until December, lie said that
any party that would not stand by its friends
ought to go down, and wc must stand by the
men now in office. He thought, too, it might
be necessary for Congress to take other action
before next session to prevent the accomplish
ment of schemes to restore the rebels to pow
er. He believed the President was a traitor
to the party and the country, and that he was
ready for any measure, however desperate,
which would put the Government into the
hands of the rebels. What his schemes were
he did not know, but he had been told on
high authority that 3Ir. Seward had said that
this Congress would never meet sgain until
the Southern States were restored to (all)
their rights, of representation in Congress.
Mr. llale, of N*w Y’ork, asked for his au
thority for this statement.
Mr. Farnsworth replied that lie had heard
it from several parties. Ou liricg pressed for
some authority, lie said he sliould not give it,
and several members around said, “don’t
givo it.” Mr. Wilson, of low*, saying lie ha#
no doubt Mr. Seward had sail it.
3Ir. llale slid, in the absence of any author
ity he did not believe Mr. (toward had ever
said anything of the kind.
3Ir. Shcllabargcr, of Olib. concurred in the
necessity of taking precaitions, but he was
not certain as to the belt way of doing it.—
He offered a substitute for Jlr. Farnsworth's
resolution, appointing acommittce of five, af
terwards increased to line, three of the Sen
ate and six ot the Iloise, to report on the
subject at a future caicus.
Mr. Garfield, of (A>io, endorsed what had
been said about the treacheiy. of the Presi
dent, and the necessity of adopting some
measures of prevention. But he thought it
important that numbers should go home and
fight out the bat'le before the people. The
Cabinet, he wa< happy to say, was already
broken up. lit was glad to announce that
Postmaster Gei’l. Dennison had resigned and
would have nothing more to do with the ad
ministration, and ho hoped that other mem
bers of the Jabioet would follow his example.
He thought they sliould strip to the waist
and fight the battle out on this line.
3Ir. Bovtwell, of 3Iassncliu$ctts, said he
thought wo would be obliged to do a great
many other things to save the country from
the danger that threatened it He - believed
it to be beyond all doubt that a conspiracy
was on foot to put the Government into the
hands of rebels, and the President was a par
ty to it He had no doubt they contemplat
ed a resort to force, because it was in tlie
logic of events to do so. He believed An
drew Johnson to be just as thoroughly a
traitor as Jeff tlavis, and that nothing could
save the country from destruction but the
most prompt and effective preparation for
every emergency. He liclieved an attempt
would be made to force the rebels into Con
gress, and the Philadelphia Convention was
C art- of the scheme. The battle, in effect,
ad already begun, and if resistance was not
made, the President would take possession
of the Capitol. Any such attempt must and
would be resisted by force. (Mr. Boutwcll’s
remarks were loudly applauded.)
3Ir. Harding, of Illinois, doubted tlie wis
dom of g.<ing to the people on such an issue,
lie was in favor of taking precautions
against the President, but did not wish it
understood that the Union Party made the
bolding of office so important a considera
tion as the action proposed would make it.
3Ir. Ingersoll, of Illinois, denounced Pres
ident Johnson as a traitor—a madman—in
league with rebels and Copperheads, and in
sisted on measures of precaution against his
ichemes. He said he nnd no personal inter
est or feeling in the matter. Ho had fought
aut his battle with the President, and had
won it But he would as soon trust a bull in
x china shop as Andrew Johnson in posses
sion of power.
Mr. Kelly, ofjPcnnsylvania, said “Amen” to
Mr. Boutwell, and said that many as were the
letters he received from his constituents on
the tariff, they were few in number compared
with those he received exhorting him to
stand by Congress in its mcasares for the sal
vation of the country. He denounced the
Philadelphia Convention as a conspiracy of
traitors, and said he believed tint the Presi
dent had got it up for the purpose of destroy
ing the Union Party, and of patting rebels
and Copperheads into power. The rebel
newspapers North and South, were in favor
ot it for that reason. The New York News
and World advocated it as a means of de
stroying the Union Party and restoring the
rebels to power, and the Nev York Times,
although it had not yet gone quite as far as
this, also upheld and favored the Conven
tion. The President, as is well known, re-
iwards every bill passed by Congress, while
fclevcn States are unrepresented, as null and
void, so that nothing short of the admission
of the rebel members will satisfy him.
3Ir. Raymond, of New York, said Mr. Kel
ley had not the shadow of aright to attribute
to the Times any such purpose or motive as
breaking up the Union Party. His insinua
tion to that effect was utterly untrue, and
was the most unmanly way of making an in
jurious nnd unjust charge. He had his own
views ot the objects to be accomplished by
the Convention, and he had not, thus far.
concurred in the views expressed ly those
around him. He believed that, properly man
aged, the Convention would strengihen the
Union Party, instead of destroying it. So
long as he h*ad reason to think so, lit should
continue to advocate it Whenever he saw
reason to believe that it was to be used to de
stroy the Union Party, neither the Times nor
its Editor would support it. As to the gen
tleman’s assertion that the President regards
everything Congress has done in the absence
of eleven States as null and void, I beg to ask
him how he reconciles that statement with
the fact that the President his signed nearly,
every bill Congress has passed ?
Mr. Kelley—That is one of the President’s
many inconsistencies.
3Ir. Kasson, of Iowa, favored Mr. Shelia-
barger’s substitute, though he did not concur
in some of the views expressed. He feared
that the Union party would be weakened, ra
ther than aided, by the measures proposed to
be taken.
Mr. Hotchkiss, »f New York, and Mr. Hub-
hard, of Conneticut, spoke in advocacy of
the resolution and in denunciation of the Pre
sident.
The resolution of Mr. Shellabarger was
then adopted. /
Mr. Stevenq of Pennsylvania, offered a re
solution decking it to be tho duty of every
Union man jo denounce the Philadelphia
Convention And render it odious to the peo
ple. He sa.’d he wanted the lines distinctly
drawn betveen the friends and enemies of
the Union cause, and wanted it distinctly un
derstood fiiat no one who favored the Phila
delphia Convention could have any fellowship
with the Union Party. He did not agree
with the gentlemen from Illinois, (Mr. Hand
ing,) in his views, but did agree with his col-
lcagne(Mr. Ingersoll.)
Mr. Bromtrell, of Illinois, followed in fa
vor ot this resolution—denouncing the Presi
dent and [ssying we ought to revise all the
laws under which offices were created which
the President can fill—and that salaries
should be abolished, and other means taken
to rendtr the power of appointment useless
in his thuds. Congress could sit all sum
mer—ire were paid by the year and it made
no odds to us.
31;. Lane, (Senator,) of Indiana, followed
in avery excited speech, demanding the cn-
actnent of stringent laws to restrain and cur
tail the power of the President—saying he
wasready to sit all summer, if necessary, at
the yointof the bayonet; that if a victim was
warned, he was ready; and declaring that a
millon of soldiers would fiock to the Capi
tal io sustain Congress against the tyranny of
the President. He branded all Union men
who support the President as actuated by
a desire for office, and as belonging to the
“braid and butter brigade.” His remarks
wen received with applause.
3ft. Hale, of New York, objected to the
resokition as unjust to true Union men and
Uuim newspapers, and especially to the New
York Evening Post, which favored the Con
vention. 3Ir. Hale ridiculed Senator Lane’s
“•'cited remarks, and thought they were not
calM for i»y the tacts of the case.
Scnitor Wilson, or Mn. 0 ..i tl ,gpup, denounc-
cd the Post—said one of its proprietors only
escaped tlie Penetentiary by a technical quib
ble, anl branded the President ns a rebel and
traitor, lie agreed in branding the Philadel
phia Convention as a conspiracy,and denounc
ing all who favored it in any way.
3Ir. Hale denied that the gentleman referr
ed to ly Senator Wilson was a member of the
editorial corps of the Evening Post, or respon
sible An' its course. He denounced tbc Sena
tor’s remarks as an unwarranted attack on a
private citizen—said the person in question
was acquitted on the merits of his trial, and
that no man had a right to impugn his integ
rity.
Senator Williams, of Oregon, followed in
the same strain.
3Ir. Anderson, of 3Iissouri, concurred in de
nouncing the President and the Philadelphia
Convention, and all who supported or favor
ed cither. They were traitors to the party
and the country. He spoke at some length,
and with warmth.
3Ir. Raymond, of New York, said he pre
sumed he* was not guilty of any undue as-
sumution in supposing that the resolution
was aimed, in part at least, at him. H« re
garded it as a menace; and so far as it was
a menace, and os such directed againstliim,
lie regarded it with no other feeling than one
of utter contempt. He was not responsible,
personally, professionally, or politically, to
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, nor to the
delegation from Pennsylvania, nor to the Un
ion members ot Congress assembled in caucus
or otherwise. He held position in the Union
party by favor of his constituents and by ap
pointment of the National Union Conven
tion. When either of these authorities saw
fit to expel him or to exclude him from the
party, he would give heed to the exclusion,
for lie recognized their authority. But the
action of that caucus in regard to his mem
bership of the Union party was a matter of
entire indifference to him. When the Phila
delphia Convention was first summoned, he
believed it would have a good effect in na
tionalizing the Union party, and in placing
its action upon a broader and safer basis. He
had never concealed his conviction that un
less the party thus nationalized and liberaliz
ed, it would be short-lived, and power would
pass from its hands to those ofits opponents;
and he Lad therefore looked with favor on the
call tor a Convention. Whenever he saw reason
to change his opinion as to its object and affect,
he should act accordingly. If is should be
come apparent that it was intended to break
up the Union Party, and throw the power of
the South into the hands of rebels and Cop
perheads, neither the Times nor its editor
would support it. But a newspaper is com
pelled to discuss all the phases of public af
faire, as they arise from day to day—without
waiting lor subsequent developments. He
branded, as utterly false and slanderous, all
intimations that his course was prompted by
a desire for office—saying that he had never
asked, and would never accept, any office at
the hands of the Administration—and as
serted his purpose to be governed, in his ac
tion npon each question as it might arise, by
ins own judgment of what was jnst and
wise.
The resolution was then adopted—3Ir.
Hale, of New York, alone voting No. and
Mr. Raymond, understanding that the reso
lution was partially, at least aimed at him,
stated that lie declined voting at all.
Gen. Banks then announced the appointment
of the Committee of Nine: Senators 3Iorrill,
of Maine; Chandler, of 31ichigan; Nye, of
Nevada; and Representatives Colfax, of In
diana ; Farnsworth, of Illinois; Hotchkiss,
of New York; Stevens, ot Pennsylvania;
Garfield of Ohio; and Boutwcil, ot 3Iassa-
cliusetts.
Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, then addressed
the meeting, by its invitation, on motion of
31r. Stevens, after which the Caucus adjourn
ed to meet at the call of the Committee.
cation ot the constitutional amendments.—
But others do not concur in this. Some
insist that the State shall ratify
these amendments, and some that they
shall become part of the Constitution before
the State shall be admitted. One thin", how
ever, is certain, the President is no longer
with the Union Party. We must look this
fact full in the face. Whatever he can do to
destroy it he will do; but in spite of that
the Unio'n Party stands firm. In his own
Statu (Ohio) it was never more compact and
united than it is to-day. He did not fear
anything that the President ‘can do against
it, with or without his aid, or that of any who
are associated with him, the Union party
can maintain its ascendency. He thought
Union members were needed at home to at
tend to the coming elections.

THE SECOND CAUCUS.
Washington, D. C., Sunday, July IS.—The
proceedings of the caucus of Saturday even
ing were in striking contrast with those of
Wednesday. The temper of the two was rad
ically different. The extreme propositions
about sitting all summer to prevent the Presi
dent from destroying the country, which were
so popular on Wednesday, were received with
no favor whatever on Saturday. Members had
reflected on the subject, and concluded that it
was not worth while to make themselves
ridiculous.
The report of the Committee, in spite of
the efforts of Speaker Colfox, Mr. Stevens,
Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Hotchkiss and others,
was summarily set aside, and the caucus re
solved, by a vote of 64 to 40, to adjourn on
the 23d.
The injunction of secrecy was removed
from both Caucusscs, in order that members
migbt 6et themselves right against the shame
less fabrication and invention of the Tribune
and World. The Herald reporter was eject
ed from his “post of honor” and of duty un
der a breach in the gallery at about 10
o’clock, so that after that time he was com
pelled to draw on his imagination for his
facts, and he did it. This accounts for his
gross misrepresentation of Mr. Raymond’s re
marks.
The tone of the second caucus, as of the
first, was one of entire hostility to the Presi
dent’s action.
(From the proceedings of this second cau
cus we offered the remarks of Senator Sher
man, of Ohio, who seems not to have had
the floor in the first, and took this occasion to
ventilate his opinions of the President.—Eds.
Tel.)
Senator Sherman, of Ohio, was satisfied
that tho Senate could finish its legitimate
business in a week, and a majority of that
body was clearly opposed to sitting through
the summer for any political purpose. There
were two bills of a political character pend
ing. One to prevent removals from office by
the President, and the other providing for
the admission of Tennessee. For his own
part-lie would vote to admit the Tennessee
members at once, with or without the ratifi-

(This apparently is the best reply to White’s
wove
9. Q Kt to Q B’s 3rd.)
10. Q to Q K’s 4th
[This is the move invented by Mr. Fraser,
and which I believe to be the only play that
enables White to keep up the attack after his
K’s Kt has been pinned.
Black lias now several moves at command,
to-wit:
10. Q B take* K’s Kt.’ 10. K toK B’s tq.’
or 10. Q B to Q’s 2nd
VARIATION 1st.
10. Q B takes K’s Kt
11. P to Q’s 6th 11. Q B to Kt’s 5th (best)
12. Q P takes Q’s Kt 12. Q Kt’s P takes P
Mr. Fraser now carries on the game thus:
13. Q takes P (ch 13. Q B Q’s 2nd
14. Q to Q’s 6th 14. Q B to K’s 3rd
15. K Bto Q Kt’s 5th (ch) 16. K to B’s tq
16. Q to Q’s 3rd 16. Kt to K’s 2nd
and though Black’s position is rather cramp
ed, ho retains his Fawn. I confess I should
rather prefer tho following:
13. P to K’s 5th. 13. Q P takes K’s P
This is probably his best move.
If
13. _

15. Q tc K B’a 4th (chi ' 15. K to K’s tq
16. K P takes Q’s P 16.
and White must I think win.

15. Q takes P (ch) 15. K to K B’s 2nd
