presidential election is possible.
The next President must be elected
on one or the other of these conflict
ing and irreconcilable theories. If
those eleven States are excluded, the
election will not be valid if they have
good title to vote; and cice cersa.
1t is very certain that the President
will not yield; and there are abun-
dant indications that the Republican
majority in Congress hold Of the same
temper as on the first day of the ses-
sion. The House resolution passed
by large majority, on Monday, was
a vote of censure against the Presi-
dent. For what other purpose could
they have demonstrated against his

meant as an instruction to the Presi-
dent, it was a usurpation and an
insult. The Constitution makes him
the Commander-in-C Chief Of the army:
and, in that capacity, he is superio,
to all dictation as to how it's move
ments shall be directed. He can
make any distribution of the troops
he pleases, and Congress has no more
right to interfere than the Supreme
Court has to serve on him an injunc-
ton restraining him from issuing
certain orders to his subordinate COM
manders. After this gross affront to
the President, supported by so large
majority, it is absurd for Repubi-
can journals to descant on the pros
pect of reconciliation.

HE Cry OF WIDOWED MOTHER.
What can be more touching or pa
thetic than she following appeal from
a henrt-stricken mother for her lost
son =? How many soul does it touch
with grief and how many wish will
be made that her appeal may bring
back again to her arms her noble boy:
Early in the war, my only child, a
noble boy of sixteen, regardless of a
mothers persuasions, and needless of
the charms Of home that left him
no wish ungratifed, left me for the
army When last heard from, he was
wounded, and languishing in prison
at Camp Chase, and have since lost
all trace of him. Those who have had
children born to them can imagine
my distress, and will surely, if in their
power, aid widowed mother in find
ing her lost darling, or at least assist
her in finding his grave, should God
have called him hence. Any commu-
nication addressed to Messls. Mann,

The State Treasurer of Pennsylva-
mia has made his annual report. It
appears that the balance sheet, when
it was closed on the 3Oth of Novem-
ber last, showed that the State was
financially better off by the sum of
50, $50, 173 than at the close of last
year. It appears, also, that the in
come of the State was ST, 1886, ,676
more than in 1864. The Treasurer
calls attention to the $47, 900, 600 of
capital held by the National Banks as
fit subjects of taxation, and elso to
the fact that the railroads and canals
within the Commonwealth, which
represent $3.50, 100000 of capital, pay
but S632, 900 in taxes. With a tax OF
one per cent. on the National Banks,
and three-fourths per cent. on the
gross receipts of railroads and canals,
which the State Treasurer proposes to
levy on those interests, he says that
the income of the State will be raised
to $4,000, 900 annually, whilst it is
easy to cut down the annual expendi.<

Commercial Adce,1ise,' says that, as
the process of moving the crop pro-
crosses, all indications go to show
that our estimate of supply of not
less than two million five hundred
thousand bales Will be realized
These probabilities must soon exer-
else an influence upon the cotton
market and the current high prices
Of domestic cotton fabrics. Their
bearing upon foreign exchange is
less important than might at first
sight appear, as an increase upon the
anticipated supply Of cotton will so
far reduce the price as to make the
aggregate value of the exports about
the same as would be realized upon a
more limited shipment at higher
prices.

Winter in New Yorh.

LIS very cold! cried the pauper
Of Gotham, shivering in his tattered
garments whilst the recent severe
cold spell prevailed. Its frost was
sharp and biting. The Tribune saws
there was ''no fur thick enough. no
clothing warm e--,ugh, to resist the
fierce onset of the frost. No one
lolters in our streets to-day. The best
clad walk fast The poorly clad run.
But, walk as they may, or run as they
may, they can neither escape nor
evade the pitiless fiend who pursues
them" " ''They ought to be grateful"
continues the Tribune, 'who have
homes of comfort now. They ought
to show that they are thankful for the
protection they enjoy by extending
it as far as their means will permit to
the shivering and homeless poor of
the city" And then the humanita-
rian of the Tribune proceeds to tell
sleek and comfortable inhabitants of
the fine houses, of the squalid wretch
edness that is to be found in the heart
of their city. We cannot but contrast
this sad picture with the scene of
comfort and happiness everywhere
presented by the African of the South
before the war, and ask how is it that
men who have such misery at their
door should never rest until they
have afflicted other communities with
similar wretchedness? The Tribune
says:
In the fourth precinct of this city
there are some sixty lodging cellars,
without decent beds, or bedding, or
windows, or ventilation. Their walls
are of stone or brick, and their floors
are rotten and damp; they are so
filthy that words refuse to paint their
condition, and they crawl with loath-
some vermin. In these underground
styes, human beings are nightly hud-
died together regardless Of sex, re-
gardless of age, regardless of race,
and utterly regardless of decency.
"Here thieves, beggars and prosti-
tutes; here rag-pickers, pimps and
drunkards; here young and old, boys
and girls, men and women, meet
together and sleep together-inhaling
their poisonous air, and breathing
their still fouler moral atmosphere
here they rest or lie down until the
daybreak enables them to issue forth
to their wonted tasks again; to steal,
to corrupt, to deceive, and to dissent
nate the diseases which such places
generate. For single lodging in
these infernos, the wretches who go
down to them pay from six to fifteen
cents night! At No. 10 Mulberr;
street, in one room fourteen by ten
feet, twenty persons, men and wo-
men, are lodged at the rate of six cents
each!
''This is the lowest depth. But
there is wretchedness enough that
tries to wear a more decent aspect.
which is in plentiful need of our
friendly assistance. Go to any of our
city missionaries, or to any of our
benevolent associations, and each of
them can tale unfold of human
suffering-which it is in the power of
our richer classes to relieve if not
remove-that is enough to harrow up
the soul of any listener to it.

The New Amendment.

John W. Forney, who may be pre-
sumed to be we'll informed in regard
to the opinions of his brother radi-
Gals, says that the amendment to the
Constitution proposed the other day
by Mr.. Blaine will be adopted by
both Houses of Congress. This
statement gives an Importance to Mr..
Blaines proposition to which we had
not supposed it to be entitled. The
reader will naturally desire to learn
It's precise nature, which the follow
ing explanation will show:
"The Federal Constitution. article
one, section two, provides that srep-
resentatlves and direct taxes shall
be apportioned among the several
States which may be included within
this Union according to their respec-
tive lumbers, which shall be de-
term1ned by adding TO the ,rhole number
Of free persons, including those bound
TO se7'oice for a term Of gears, and ec-
cl,tding indians not tared, tlree-5ifles
Of all other persons (slaves) Mr..
Blaine's proposition before the Com
m1ttee on Reconstruction strikes out
ali the Words in italics of this pro-
vision, and substitutes the following:
Iaking the whole number of per
sons, except those to whom political
rights or privileges are denied or
abridged by the Constitution or laws
of any State, on account of race or
color.''
This amendment would leave the
representation of the Northern States
as it is-except in Indiana and per-
haps one or two other States-an1 1
would deprive the Southern States of
a representation based upon negroes
only so long as the negroes shall be
disfranchised son accouu of race or.
color" We have no objections to the
proposed bill, provided that each
State is left to be the Judge of the
qualification of her own voters. We
have no objections to suffrage, aruh-
om regard TO race or color, provided
they (the voters) ere competent by
property or education to exercise this
high privilege. We believe with the
Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, that
a property qualification, based on
property or education, might be adj
mitted, but that this rule must be
binding upon both whites and blacks.
Long before the accomplishment of
the new status of the negro, we have
advocated these qualifications.

that a private letter from a reliable
source in Paris has been received in
Washington, to the effect that the
Legislative bodies of the French En-

Emperor Napoleon, in his opening
address, will express amicable and
peaceful sentiments towards the
United States, and that unless in the
meanwhile the relations of the two
countries should become hostile ON
questions not now anticipated, he
will promise the evacuation of Mexico
by the French troops as promptly as
practicable.

IT. ~
correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from the city of
Mexico, says:
Macmillan abolished the popeage
slavery system in September, by
which he freed three millions Of the
lower class. He has been busy in
establishing schools in all the interior
towns during the past ten months.
The Empress Charlotte also has in
aug'lrated an independent school
system, especially for the education
of orphans and the poorest classes to
be found. The poor class, which
constitutes such an ovSAaaslaol!i4 I'm q
majority, have hHen made to pull the
grains from the earth and to perform
other labors in the same manner that
was done at the creation by the few
for fear OF the rich: if tools and i'm
plements were furnished them, they
would lnculcate new ideas. But the
poor are liberated from this thraldom
They comprehend well the fact and
recognize in Maximilian their bene-
factor and their protector The aris-
tocracy writhe to-day to see middle
class rising up to rule the land. The
clergy hate the French; the people
hate the French; the aristoccacy hate
the French; and so common a hatred
must settle into a common love. and
Macmillan and his Empress Char
lotta, during these months of struggle,
have been laying this foundation for
love, and all are anxious, even the
Emperor, for the departure of the
French army. In 1S4S, the popula-
ton of the city of Mexico was 300, 900.
Travellers used to living in large
cities-and many are here who are
good judges-think that there are
325, ,00O in Mexico now. In 1860,
there were five colleges; now there
are nearly q hundred. In 1855, there
was not a manufactory of note in the
city. Now streets and steam cars,
cottonsand woolen goods, paper for
printing and for letters, coach and
carriages, and q long list of other
manufactures, could be added. Eight
large hotels have been opened during
the last twelve months, and it is
difficult to obtain apartments in any
of them. Up to the year 1854, one
diligence only arrived and departed
daily on the Vera Cruz road. Now,
never less than three, and often five,
arrive and depart each day. Rents
have raised 100 per cent. since last
January.

ENFORCING CONTRACTS. The York
vile Is. c. Enquirer says: "We are
gratified to learn that the farmers in
Union District are hopeful of being
able to secure much larger amount
Of free labor for the present year
than the prospect offered few weeks
ago. The agents of the Frcedmen's S
Bureau have enforced the making of
contracts wherever there was any
evidence of unwillingness on the
part of the freedmen to work; and
summary punishment for idleness
and vagrancy is generally being ac-
corded to such as merit it. a large
proportion of the farmers there have
engaged, upon reasonable terms, a
sufficiency of labor for the present
year. The prospect seems to be fair
that sufficient quantity of land will
be put under cultivation to meet the
wants of the District and leave q
margin for the raising of saleable
products.
