The President AND REcoNsrRUcTloS.-
President has issued a proclamation announcing
that be approves the Congressional plan Of
reconstruction, which practically supersedes the
amnesty proclamation. under the provisions of
which Arkansas and Louisiana were reorgan-
lied. The seeded States are, therefore, to be
treated as Territories until free and loyal State
Governments shall be constructed and accepted
by majority of the legal voters, and 10
Senators or Representatives will be admitted
into Congress until that body has formally
recognized the new State Governments If
this law does not recognize the right of secession
or the right to withdraw any portion Of our
territory from the Union, il certainly recognizes
the power Of an ordinance Of secession to put a
whole community in the attitude of rebellion.
Meantime, the status of the new Governments
in Arkansas and Louisiana is not defined !;
though the President recognizes them, Congress
does Dot, and the legality of all their acis is
open to dispute Union.

FAILURE OF The AMESDMEST-We pub
lished, some time since, the proposed amendment
to the Constitution to abolish and forever pro-
hibit slavery in the United States, and stated
that it had been adopted by both branches of
Congress; but the announcement is now made
that the bill failed iu the House by eleven votes.
The plan of reconstruction adopted by Congress
and approved by the President, however, will

TIE DIFFEREycg.-Th The Sacramento Bee
says many people profess TO think that Califor-
MA is heavily taxed for the supper, Of the [.
States Government. Such people are il error.
The Government pays out more for California
than /; receives from il. The frst SIX months
Of this year Government disbursements in this
State amounted to S5,5e6,923. During the
same period the revenue il collected here from
all sources amounted to $3.50 2l9 1t will
thus be seen that Government is e1pending 10
this State upwards of 60 100000 Per spnum
more than it receives from it in the way Of
revenue Thus by remaining true TO the Union
our State IS benefited pecuuisrily in The
amount above named. These considerations
alone should prevent slip shod secessionists
from doing aught to impair the authority Of
The Government in this State 4 Pacific

The London Times of May 22d says, IN a

The London Times Of May 22d says, in an
article concerning the American rebellion:
The Fort Pillow atrocities will prove the
impossibity of making ary compromise with
slavery. 1t gives rise to passions that must be
curbed at any cost, and to an osolent contempt
for humanity and the rights Of others that must
be trampled under foot BY power stronger
than its own. Whether the North wished it
or not, it must persevere to the end. Free
society and slave society can never again live
side by side, and so long as the resources OF the
Confederates hold out, the Federals must sub
NIT to the sacrifices necessary for carrying on
the war. Nothing but exhaustion Oh one side
or the other can stop the conflict, and they are
rash prophets who venture TO affirm that the
free society will be the first to collapse.
The above is a very sensible conclusion,
considering hat it comes from one of the most
malignant enemies that our free institutions
have ever possessed.
