Senator Sumner emptied his desk to-day of a voluminous budget of memorials, emanating from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois and Virginia, all in condemnation of the reconstruction policy of the President, as being in opposition to the spirit and genius of republican institutions, and asking Congress to provide provisional governments for the late rebellious States, and keep the same in a territorial condition to such time as Congress can organize truly republican forms of government, by establishing equal civil rights in all respects.
