Reconstruction.

The Prcsidont has appointed Androw
Hamilton, of Texas, Provisional Govern.
or of that State, and also Jas. johnson, of
Georgia, Provisional Governor of Georgia
The form of the proclamation is precisely
similar to those heretofore appointing pro.
visional governors for North Carolina and
Mississippi, and tho duties prescribed are
tho same. Thoy arc to exercise all power
proper to enable the people to restore said
States to their constitutional relations to
tho Federal Government, and present such
republican form of government as will en-
title tho State to the guarantee of the Uni.
tod States, and its people to the protection
Of tho United States against invasion, insur-
rection, violence, &c. The President has
also issued a proclamation ro.organizing Al.
ALBANIA, precisely similar In terms to those
previously issued. There are now only two
Southern States still to be RECONSTRUCTED

PRESIDENT JonNsoN's VIEWS OF NEGRO
SUFFRAGE Tho most pointed views OF
President johnson on negro suffrage, bave
jnst bceu given TO tho delegation OF Qua
kers, who called on him with petitions ask
ing that the influence and powor OF tho
Government may DO so woldod as to secure
to oil persons, without distinction, equality
10 tho right of franchise. In response
President johnson said he would uot mako
q speech, but would talk to them in tho
spirit OF friendship and fraternal regard -
lIe wished to talk 10 them as though tbcy
wcro all membors of tho same family. Ho
told them of tho difficulties in the way o.
comforting the right Of suffrage, as thoy de.
sired, and gave them many instances of his
exporieoce among the slaves Of the Sonth.
whose habits and feelings he professed thor.
oughly to understand. But ono great act
might bo said to have boon fnlly accom-.
plishcd by tho war, after tho restoration of
tho Union and that was tho complete aboli-
ton of slavery. There were many othcr
things that would require time to accom-.
plish, and among those might be the ques.
tion OF suffrage.

Don Piatt's Resolutions.

Tho following are tho resolutions which
Mr.. Piatt unsuccesstnlly attempted to in-
troduce into the Union State Convention:
Resolped, That il is the belief Of this
Convention that the reconstruction of tho
revol,ed States constitutionally belongs to
abe legislative department, and that the
Executive can only provide provisional
military government until such timo as
Congress may oct.
Resolved, That time alone can heal the
wounds inflicted by this war, and therefore
there is no cause for haste in the recon
struction of the rovoltsd States; and when.
ever the time comes for reconstruction,
our indemnity for the past and security for
the future demand that government of the
States shall be given to loyal men only.

CHARDON, OHIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 80, 1866.
Our Ticket and Platform.

Wo publish SO much in relation to tho
doings of tho recent Union State Convcn-
tion at Columbus, that iittlo space re-
mains for comments; but, fortunately, few
comments arc required. Tho Ticket, which,
in the main, was nominated with rare unan-
unity, is worthy of tho united and cordia,
support it will surely receive from the Un.
loo mon of Ohio. Although many. from
motives of State policy, had desired tho re-
nomination of Gov. Brough, all will choor-
fully labor for tho election of Gen. Cox as
Lis successor, fooling that his nomination
was ono eminently fit to DO made. And 80
of all the other nominees, mono Of whom
are incapable or unworthy.
The Platform is unoxceptlonablo In SEN
timent, and, fow years ago, might have
boeu doomed bold aud radical in touo. We
heartily endorso il 30 far as it COOS, and J ct
are FREQ to confess We arc not proud of it.
We should prefer moro full and frank
avowal of principles upon living issues, be-
lieving that tho great and triumphant
Union Party OF Ohio could woll afford it.
As q party, we arc in favor of tho equality
of oil loyal men, irrespective of color. be
foro tho law, and why hesitate to say so
plainly? Principles that are worth con-
tending for are worth avowng, aud il 10 bad
policy to withhold them. So faras our enc
omies are concerned, it matters not what
our Platform may be, as, in any event, they
will attribute all manner of rndicalism to
us, while, by concoaling our sviows and
principles, we lose tho moral powor their
manly avowal would carry with it. 1t Is
gratifying, howovor, to know that tho Con.
venton was right in principle, cautious and
guarded as it was in utteranco. Ohio will
not bo bohind any of hor sister statos in
sentiment or action. Lot US, thon. with un.
diminished faith in the justice Of our cause,
go zealously to work for the success of our
noble Ticket, and our victory in Octo-
Der next will hasten tho great end We all
have in view---ihe enfrancbisenen of overy

rather than execute the order. Gen. Grant nerfered
and the arrest was recalled" This statement IL foi'

The whole statement is false. No such order was ever
