Political Htcr,s.

oi diMerent States are IN great doubt
Wnetner TO call extra sessions Of the
Legislature, ''to adopt the latest
amendment of the reconstructionists
or not. Gov. Fairchild, Of Wiscon-
sin, viii not call an extra session of
the Legislature Of that State unless
there is unanimity of action in all the
States. Coy. Cox, of Ohio, will not,
1t IS said, call an extra session of the
Legislature to consider the constitu-
tional amendment until after the rad
ical State Convention has met Cox,
very properly, looks upon the amend
ment report as only the radical party
platform, and ne leaves the whole
matter to the radical State Conven-
ton. If the Convention says adopt,
the Governor is ready to call the LIE
gislature together
lowA.-The Iowa radical State
Convention met at Des Moines last
Wednesday. Resolutions were adopt
ed favoring the equality of all per
sons before the law, endorsing the
constitutional amendment, approving
the course of Congress, advocating
the enforcement Of the Monroe Doc
trine, and favoring the equalization
of bounties
INDIANA, The Democrats of Indi-
ana opened the campaign with mass
meeting at Indianapolis, last Friday
night. Judge Mcdonald and Gen.
Manson were the speakers. The De-
mocrats and other conservative citi-
zens of Owen and adjoining Counties
will hold mass meeting ut Gosport,
on Saturday, June 80.
KENTUCKY. The radicals propose
to call another State Conve1tion at
Covington, July 10. The slate needs
fixing. Affairs in Kentucky are ra-
pidly assuming such state that there
will be n square issue made between
the Democratic party on the one
hand and the radical party on the
other. These two divisions embrace
the distinctive organization of parties
in the Northern States, and it is folly
to attempt to maintain separate
organization or n s'third party move
ment" in Kentucky.
KANSAS. despatch from Topeka.
Kansas, dated Juno 20, says that the
radical State Committee, now in ses-
sion at that place, have determined
upon "a stern and radical policy"
They ignore Jim Lane, and will call a
State Convention soon.
TENAs.--The State election took
place on Monday James Throck-
morton, the conservative candidate,
is prominent in the canvass. The
people also vote on the new miscege-
mated Constitution, making negroes
equal before the law" and else
where, if possible, with white men"
1t is generally believed in some of
the remote Counties Of Texas that
this thing can be done by constitu-
tional amendment
OHTo. The platform adopted by
the radical party of Ohio proposes
that, unless negroes are allowed to
vote, they shall not he counted in the
Congressional basis OF representa-
ton. White women are also exclnd-
ed from the polls, and yet are count
ed in that respect. This the radicals
do not propose to abolish. It is not
representation of suffrage they are
after. but only negro suffrage The
Democratic Central Committees of
Monroe, Guernsey and Belmont
Counties have agreed on the 10Th of
July. and Barnesvillc as the place, to
hold the Judicial Convention. The
Congressional Convention for the
Sixteenth District is to be held at
Cambridge, on the 2d of August.
IHE TENNESSEE DELEGATION. As
it is probable that the Congressional
delegation from Tennessee will be
admitted Immediately upon the
adoption, by that State. of the Con-
stltntional amendment, it is Of inte-
rest to know what sort Of men it has
sent. The Senators are Joseph S.
Fowler and David T. Patterson.

than his colleague, and has always
been an anti-slavcry man. 1t is
doubted whether Patterson can take
the oath. since lie served the Con
federacy as conscript Judge. The

tricts, are Col. n B. Taylor, Horace
Maynard, William Is. Stokes, Edward
Cooper, William B. Campbell Dor
