ANoTHERR CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MINT. Senator Wade has proposed an
other new constitutional amendment, pro.
viding that the person who fills the Office
of President of the United States, either
by election or through the death of the
actual incumbent, shall not be eligible to
recollection to the same office. The idea
is a good one, but we cannot too severe
ly condemn the miserable, puerie, mali
cious spirit in which the Senator has
brought it forward at this crisis, openly
avowing that he intends it as a puuish~
ment for Andrew johnson; and this pits
full exhibition of temper will probably
place the proposed amendment-excel,
lent as it may be-on the shelf for sever
al years to come.

conversation which took place between
the President and Pollard recently:
Pollard, on entering, said Mr. Pres

and / am the editor and proprietor Of the
Richmond Examiner, and would like to
have the order sappre-sing it revoked. l
understand that Gen. Grant issued he
order, but that there is ouly one article to
which he objects, and that was written by
a local and without his (Pollard's) knowi
edge, and really in a spirit of fun There
may have been few articles cont aiming
structures upon the Government, but !
don't approve of Their appearing, and
hereafter the paper shall be properly con
Quoted" All this Pollard said in the
most humble way.
The President replied Il know moth
ing about it, as cannot take much time
to read ; but it has been represented TO
me that your paper is very d,loyal The
order came from Gen. Grant, and will
have nothing to do with it except TO refer
the matter back to him.
The President telegraphed to Gen
Grant, requesting that he would rev oke
the order This Gen. Grant refused.
The President then wrote again, making
the same request, but Gen Grant stood
firm The President then, upon Pol
lard's promise to support his policy in the
future, in the face of Gen. Grants orders,
gave Pollard permission to resume the

TIE PosITIoN OF Mr. RAYM Nd The
Washington Republican SAYS that the
distinguished representative" with
whom President johnson had his late
conversation on public affairs, was Hon.
Henry Raymond
The Republican adds:
The result of the conversation ia the
more important from the fact that Mr.,
Raymond is not only a Representative in
Congress, and The editor of one Of the lead,
ing Republican journals in the country. but
he is also Chairman ef the National Ex-
ecutive Committee of thegreat Union
party in the United States, and hence. in
the latter capacity, is charged with high
and important responsibilities. His con-
siiuency is not confined TO single repre-
sentative district of New York, but takes
in every man who voted for Lincoln and
johnson. Therefore, 1t is that his words
and acts iD the Times, and especially in
Congress, are watched and weighed. and
criticised with more than ordinry interest
and care.

Like that incendiary, they applied torch
to the Constitution, which will cover them
with an Immortality more enduring than

succeeded. But how changed are the
times The Radicals of the present Con
gress are making destructive raid on
that instrumental violent assault upon it
in every vital point. The work Of our
fathers does not please these fanatics, and
they are tearing down and building up
