The Radicals in both Houses are only divided as to the phraseology of tho preamble, which, as Beast Buler advised the Conservative Delegation from the ' mother of States, will be made as much of a humiliation for the people of Virginia as words can express. FEES OF PENSION AGENTS. The introduction of Judge Law ; rence's bill to aUdish certain fees of ' pension agents, has called out figures ; showing that the extra fees paid agents by jK?nsioners amount to $160, 000 per annum. It now costs the Government fl60,000 ier annum to make the ayments to pensioners. The Commissioner of Pensions thinks the machinery of agencies can be largely reduced in expenses. THE PROPOSED REVENUE DEPART MENT. It is more than hinted at that in the j consideration and debate upon Grant's proposed elevation of the Revenue Bureau to a Department, the New England and Western members will come in contact aud divide. Such a contingency is feared, and to be avoid ed by the Radicals, if they would maintain their ascendancv over th NVc-L n people, whom thev have so " far succeeded in hoodwinking and using in their schemes ot tariff and sectional aggrandizement.
