Sprefat o New York Herald(Sensationaleand Ind.), Was11NGTON, Oct. 17.—The Administration {8 trying a policy which haa at least the merit of novelty, the policy of having absolutely uo poll- ¢y fo far ps Congress 1s concerned, The T'resi- dent has not only, so far as can be dizcovered, no party in either House, but all the afgns show that he doesnot mean to have aoy. ‘All the ex- snd that 1t was far better for a lican President to ent (€'short than for the Republicun party to ecek to prolone jt, and finally to he driven from power on that issue, They furthee say that it §s fnevitable that many honest and zenlons Republicans should feel diseatisfled about the Presldent's action, but that the edge of their resentment will be fast dulled by tima and reflection, On the question of the wisdom of the Civll- Service order, thiere t¢ mnch less difference of opinfon.

Some think the order §s wrong in principle, others say It goes in the rient direction, but goes attogether too far, Al that was necessary was for the Presiaent to remove offlec-holders who were making themselves obnoxfous by managing conventions and caucuses, o as fo defeat the popular will, A few, examples of thinkind would have moderated the partisan zeal of the whole bodv of Federal appointees.

TOLITICAL DISABILITIRA—RECONCILIATION, ‘I'ne Southern Senators intend to make the policy of reconclilation complete 1t possible. Senator Beck has commenced this moveruent by the introduction of a bill Fruvul(nz for the re« moval of ull the volitical disabllities. The number of persons now zald to be under dia- abilities fs sbout 400, inciuding Mr. Jefferson Davia, 1t remains to be ecen whether Senator Blafue intends o come down the aisles agaln us the “rlmuml knight," and te dely Con- eress 1o place 1 that bill the nune of Mr. Jefler- son Duvis. Scnator Beck, noving In the same direction, presents bill to repeal the frun-clad oath, A person who was prescut wheu the modilied oath waa (irst stministered In Congress would have witnessed how rns-hl the vulh»{ of couclilation Nias beeu 1t iu the llousre last Mondav, he had scen the geures and ecores of men who, when the reading of theiron. oath bezan, dropped thelr hands, tell buck to the rear, and waited for the admnfoistrution of the vath to support the Constitution, without the inittutory and hsted clatise, * You do solemnly swear that you have not horne urms agulust the Government of the With all tha talk of the past ten years about Civil-Scrvice reform, it {s plain that the average Republican Congressman is not much advanced bevonik the otd iden that the ollices are the chief ncentives to political strife, and that those who have got them have as good a right to fight to keep possession as those who are out of place liave to fight to get In. Acconling to this view, it s absurd to say that & man may atruggle for ears Lo get an oiflce, Lut as soon as he riceeeds e must refraln (rom all efforts todefeat the men who are trylng to drive him out. Itisof conrse an overstrained conetructionof the order 1o ey that it prohibits officeholders from being active for their party at elections, but the efTect of {t, aa shown In Ohio, Is that a Postmaster or other official, who s forbidden to serve onuw town or county committee, 8 not disposed to exert himself at the polls, 1t {s somewhat surprising to find that a num- her of the most prominent Republican leaders belleve that the doom of thelr party 1s sealed, and that its specdy dissolution must result from the antazonistic opinions prevatling in its ranks as to the courso of the President. These gentlemen are, as o rule, active party men, pressions made in conversation by members of Wh -3 Moo bl tion of each of sald companies In wid’ fund, 5 e 0 have always stood by thé organization, avd | and of all Interest puid by the Unied | United States, the Adiinlstration confirm thissomewhat star- | wio think that muchinry is hecessary tothe | Siates thaseon, aud ol reimbursed, subjoct THE MINNESOTA MASSACRES. lne view and mahe It appearthatthe Presiaent's theory is that he ehall cxecute the laws, but that he will aleolately refrain from the least attempt to influence the actlon of Congress, or of any member of 4t on any .subject; that he will make uppolntments and removals where the ool of the public servico requires it, hut leave the question of conflrination sbso- lutely to the Senate without the slightestattompt to influence anybady'sconclusions. For Instance, it is generally eranted that the admission of the 1wo Loulsiana Senators would be an approval by the Senate of the President’s Southern polley, and what one would eall an Adminlstration suce- cese. It {2 certain that If the President stould express a wish on the subject enough Repub- existenve of parties, and thal patronage is a great power that ought to be made the most of to win campaigns, They would not lke their names printed to back up their opintons, and the corresponident who fs sufliciently Inti- mate with them to get-an nureserved expression of their sentiments Is always cautfoned not to publish what they say. Put In thebriefest com- pass, thelr view is that the President has sacrl. flced the Kepublican party to protect his title; that the party Is without a leader, snd is fatally divided In convictionss that its hand workers are disheartenedand fnltfferent; and that it haslost ts solldity of purpose, and (8 llkely to drop to pieces, and wive place to epliemeral organiza- tlons powerless tu resist the compact, and victo- mocracy, This alsmal view, so whtely ed just now, Is the outyrowth rather Iy than of judizment, L the provislonsof the next section, Sec, B, That sald alnking-fund eo established and accumulnted shall, sccording to the Interest and proportion of mald Companies respectisely tercin, he held for the protection, secarity, anid benetlt of the Inwiul aud Jnet holders of any mort- pape or lien debin of such Companies reapeciively. awlully paramonnt to the rghts of the United States, and for the clalma of other creditors, If any, Ian mufl chargeable upon tho funds o required 10 be puld dnto suld inking-fond, scconling o thelr tepectibo lawful priarilies, aa well as fur the United States, according to thé priuci- ples of equlty, to the end that all’ persuns having any clating upon rald sinxing-fund may be entitled thereto ln due order; but the provisluns of this sectiun ahall not operate or be beld to hinpair an exiating lewal right, except In the manner fn thia act provided, of any mortgave, lien, or other cred- ftor of any of said companies respectively, nor lo excuss any of azid companies respiectively from the The inhabitants of Minnesota will never be satistied until the s livvernment cumpensates them for Jusaea tnearred In connection with the Bloux massacre of 1860, Scuator Windom again wresents o bill to suthorize the paymnent to citi- zetis Of the value of the supples furnished to those ludtuns prior to the massacre, ENIER YE SUCTHERN CLAINS, Benator Bulley, of Tennessce, successor of Postinuster-Ueneral Key Lo the Benate, In to be charged with the Iutroduction of the firgl bill for the payment of a elaim. 1t is o bill, llke countless thousands of others, asking for com- pensation for cutton tuken by Unfon ofllcers for miiitary purposes, This particular claim Is for the modest sum of $64,128 for cuttun used by Ma).-Gen.
