A MoMENTOUs SUBJECT.

Discussing possible rupture between
two aspirants to the Presidency in 1868,
the Nashville Gazette says: To see this
danger it is only necessary to consider
that, in the next Presidential election,
there will be two candidates in the North,
one of which will get the entire vote of
the eleven Southern States, now unrep-
resented in Congress Should, as is
probable, the vote of these eleven States
give the anti-Radical candidate major
ity of the electoral college, what is to be
the consequence A Radical Congress
will, of course, refuse to count this
Southern vote, or to recognize the Presi-
dent elected by it. They will declare
his competitor duly elected, and under
take to compel the majority Of the peo-
pie of the United States TO submit to his
authority as such. AT once we have a
war that can end only when some Cesar
or NAPOLEON shall arise, to lay the strong
hand of military despotism on the strug-
Cling factions.

YOUNG KETOHUM.

A New York letter says For the
satisfaction Of those who wish special in
formation concerning young KETCHUM,
we state that he is serving as book-keeper
in the shoe shop at Sing Sing State
Prison that his behavior has won the
good will of all around him; that he
breakfasts in his cell, but is allowed to
eat dinner and supper in the work room
with the foreman and outside helpers,
who bring their dinners with them, at
which meals he has the best of fare; that
his parents and wife come often to see
him; that be receives and answers many
letters; and that the prospect is he will
come out better fitted for business than
ever, and then have his revenge on Wall
street He is not confined to the rule of
silence generally maintained in prison,
but is allowed every possible privilege,
being looked on as the victim Of circum-
stances rather than as a studied male
factor

HORRIBLE PICTURE.

The report of the Superintendent Of
Freedmen at Chattanooga, who has been
pushing his investigations and making
preparations for the advent of cholera,
presents a horrible picture Of squalor
and wretchedness among freedmen in
that city. The FIRST house in Suffers
row contained the body Of what was once
a human being, now in the last stages
Of decomposition. From appearances,
death must have occurred a week ago.
The second contained a woman dying
with the smallpox, without attendance
or a morsel Of food in the house. He
found woman blind, with Der daughter
sick with smallpox and in q similar des-
transformation. The report abounds with
similar instances of poverty, sickness
and suffering.

AGREED TO REPORT.

The Reconstruction Committee has
agreed to report the following Constitu-
tional amendments; First, the BINGHAM
proposition, securing the rights of all
citizens in every State, and forbidding
State legislation to the contrary; second,
basing the representation upon numbers,
excluding all who are excluded from the
polls; third, reputation of the rebel
debt; fourth, giving Congress the power
to enact such laws as are necessary to
enforce these amendments. In addition,
two bills will be reported, one admitting
the Congressional delegation from the
States ratifying these amendments, and
the other declaring ineligible to office
the leading rebel officials.

WHAT A CHANGE.

Whatever may be said of the condition
in which emancipation has left the me-
groes of the South, it is certain that, in
escaping personal punishment at the
hands of their owners, for grave crimes,
they have gained the penitentiary, the
jail, and quite an assortment of other
punishments. They have entered upon
new career, in which they are active, not
passive, individuals, not property They
must now think for themselves, and have,
hereafter, as an old negro said recently
in this city, mo body to fall back on in
the day of sorrow and suffering" They
must employ their own physicians, nurse
their own sick, provide their own food
and raiment, keep their own morals, suf-
fer for their own crimes, live their own
lives and die their own deaths.

TRIAL OF DAVIS.

1t is pretty we'll settled that JErrER-
son DAVIS is to be tried, somewhere
the place not designated A dispatch
from Washington of Saturday says
Messrs. EvART, CLIFFORD and Rousseau
have been retained by the Government
for the trial of JEFF. DAVIS. They were
here yesterday arranging the case,
although the time and place of trial
have not been definitely decided. An
other dispatch informs US that Attorney
General SPEED has gone West to recruit
his health, which is somewhat impaired
by close and unremitting application to
business The determination of the
time and place of trial of JEFF. DAVIS
will not be made until Mr.. SPEEDS re-
turn, in all probability, unless something
occurs which is not now anticipated by
the Administration.

STILL Ar WAR.

The Huntsville Independent says that
some soldiers of the 44th Colored lnfan-
try fred volley of musketry into the
city as the train moved of on last Tues
day night. A number of balls passed
over the public square, several more strik-
ing the trees in the courthouse yard.
Fortunately, it was dark and no person
in it, and no one was wounded. MIR.
WILLIAMS, superintendent of the embar-
kation of troops, was struck in the face
by wad from one Of the guns. Capt.
HOLMES, in command Of the regiment,
had the train stopped, and lit in upon
the offenders with his sword, giving some
of them sore heads.

stone to be erected, with the number of
miles from one important place to an
other.

the bar being present The decision

The reason is principally found in the
