The petition was referred. Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to guarantee freedom to the inhabitants of the United States by repealing all laws based upon distinction of race or col

ng for the hall carpet is being laid, and the new curtains for the East Room are expected in time to be suspended by that day. It is to be hoped that relic hunters will leave knives and scissors at home, and not mutilate the new curtains. Senator Sumner's attack on the President. Several of the New England Republican newspapers disclaim any responsibility for Mr. Sumner's white-washing speech — among them the Hartford Courant, warmly. The issue joined. We have the programme annoMr. Sumner's white-washing speech — among them the Hartford Courant, warmly. The issue joined. We have the programme announced simultaneously at New York by Mr. Greeley, and at Washington by General Banks, that the coercive power of the Government is to be exercised upon the Southern States until they shall concede the elective franchise to the negro. We may regard the issue [between these men and President Johnson] as fairly joined after these announcements. Henceforth the policy of conciliation towards the President by Mr. Greeley, and those whom he represents, means that conciliation which shall constrain the
