says he will, in obedience to a re
quest of the Senate, furnish the names
of the indorsers of the Circuit Judges
recently confirmed. All are satisfied.
INTERNAL REVEXfE LAWS.
Judge James is busy codifying the
Internal Revenue laws. He will re
port after the holidays. It is expected
that with slight modifications Con
gress will endorse his labors.
COLLECTION OF REVENUE.
Orders have been given to mount
and arm -the Assistant Assessors of
the Internal Revenue throughout the
South whenever it is necessary to use
force in carrying out the revenue laws.
RATES ON NICKEL.
The Ways and Means Committee
have agreed to rates on nickel, fixing
forty cents per pound, alloy thirty
cents jier pound, matte twenty cents,
ores of nickel ten per cent., manufac
tured nickel forty per cent.

VIRGINIA
Will be attended to the first thing
after the holidays. 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.

Opposi-
Hm was confined to the eleven Dem-
ocratic Senators, including Fowler, of
Tennessee, and Ross. The Supreme

forgive his opposition to the appoint
ment of their favorites to office. Yet
j it is conh.iently assertttd he will be
confirmed.
TENNESSEE.
The rieniorial presented by Stokes
& Co. otfts forth that the recent elec
tion in this State was carried by fraud
and violence; that the niristrars ap
pointed by Gov. Senter issued certifi
cates to every disfranehished rebel,
and to thou-and.s of boys who are not
twenty-one years of age; and after
detailing the history of the election,
petition ( t ugress to give them a Re
publican form of government, and
comjiel the execution of the prer-i-nt
laws of the State. They deny the le-
iralitv of the t.resent Tennessee l.efis-
lature, and the election of Mr. Cooper

" When the reconstruction measures

j advocacy of the destruction of States

I position, the geutlemen on the oth
I er side, notwithstanding the ruin
they had brought ou tne country,
would consider the course they haq
I pursuid, and would come back to the
' position occupied by the Fathers of

pended tor its life on the mainteu
, ance of the rights of States,

and must tall when the States; were
