BILL FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE
PUBLIC DEBT,

On the 10Th Bill directing that
slso,ooo, 900 shall be applied annually TO
the payment of the principal and inter
est of the public debt, was passed by the
Senate and sent to the House.
Congress has stricken out from the
Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation
Bill, the appropriation for the payment
OF Mr.. HARvEY's salary, who is our
resident Minister at Portugal. The
reason assigned is, that Mr.. HARVEY
wrote a private letter to this country, in
which he reflected somewhat severely
on the action of the majority in Con-
gress.
This is dignitied business truly, for
grave and reverend Senator's!

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

We are happy to see that the leading
radical papers of the country, condemn
in unmeosured terms the scurility Of
this dispatch, as disgraceful to its auther,
to the State he misrepresentsa and to the
nation over which Andrew johnson
by the will of the people presides.

TIE SOUTHERN RADICAL GoNNEN
TIoN.-Fhe Mobile Regist Estates that of
the three Alahamians whose names are
appended to the Jack Hamilton Con-
Nention call, one was an eX-Contederate
of1ieer,and the two others, persons whose
names are utterly unknown in the State.
We may remark in this connection.
that the Radical papers are announcing
with great glee that they have secured
a q, gate, to the aforementioned Con-
vention, from Arkansas, in the person
of General CAN'T, late of the Gonfede-
late Army 1t may not be known to
some persons that this man CAN'T aeas a
Confederate Colonel, but SO worthless
that he was dropped -whereupon he de-
serted the flag under which he had been
fighting for the independel &c of the
South, and sought position in the army
against which he had been periodically
fighting. Such are the "loyal Southern
Uuion men," whom Jack Hamilton
wants to meet at Philadelphia.

the form of the Amendment to the
Constitution, now before the States for
ratification. This amendment, as our
readers are well aware, offers special
benefits,as to representation in Congress,
to those States that shall give to the
negro the right of suffrage. The adop-
ton of this amendment is earnestly adj
vocated by the organs of the Radical
party, throughout the country. The
Berkeley Union, of the 2lst inst, says:
"This is the amendment proposed,
embodying the principles for which the
loyal men must do battle in the coming
campaigns of the different States, and of
the Nation at large. This is the plat
form which the loyal people OF West
Virginia must sustain in the coming
campaign. and this amendment our
loyal mountain State must adopt at the
earliest meeting Of her Legislature.
That West Virginia will do this, there
is no reasonable. probable doubt"
The New York Tribnne, FoRNEYs
Chronicle, of Washington, the Indepen-
dent, indeed all the leading journals of
the Radical party in the country, advo-
cate the adoption of this amendment,
g Cts adapted to secure equality Of rights
to al, mithout distinction Of color or
race Negro suffrage is thus inscribed

party,

GEORGE BANCROFT, in his memorial
address on the life and character of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, delivered at the
request of both Houses of Congress. oil
the 18th February last, uses the follow
ing language:
@The States which would have left us
are not brought back as suhugated
States, for then we should hold them
only SO long as that conquest could be
maintained they come to their rightfHl
place M1der the Constitution Us origiani,
necessary, msepdrable members Of the
Uaion.o
How imperfectly this Orator compre-
hended the spirit and designs of the
dominant party in Congress, when he
uttered the above! "The States which
would have left u.s." instead of coming
to their rightful place under the Consti-
tuition, as a natural sequence of the
result Of the war, are by that party
utterly excluded from it, and for the
reason, shamelesSly avoWed, that to
permit them to take their place in the
Union, under the Constitution, would
cndanger Radical ascendancy in the
Government. And yet this is the party
that boasts of their patriotic deeds il
