construction pr0teet-purpOsc OF the
Rcpublicnns to Hold Power-Dis-
saict N>ero suffrage Bali. &C.
The new project of reconstruction from
the committee of fifteen is the subject of
much remark. II was desirable to many
10 know what the President thought of IT,.
That is we'll asccrtaincd and known. The
President and ut least some of his friends
arc more opposed to it than they were TO
the first plan of the committee.
The Democrats in and out of Congress
arc all hostile to il because IT excludes
their party from power for the next seven
wears a, least. Some OF them say thal u
will not 90 through both Houses of Con
grcss hy the requisite two-thirds vote. But
that is 10 bc seen before long. The Rcpnb-
lican partv in Congress is unit upon 1t,
and they command both Houses.
The next question is whether the joint
resolution proposing the amendment will
he ratified by three tourths OF the States.
There will he opposition to it from those
Northern States which will lose some re-
presentation by it ; but as the Legislatures
are Republican, il may receive the assent
of all of thcm-making twenty-five, eXclu-
siyc of Colorado. Tennessee may accept
it. making twenty-six but if Colorado be
admitted, it will require the ratification OF
thirty States.
The Republicans express surprise that
any opposition should be made to the
scheme, except by the Sumner radicals,
for il takes the negro suffrage question, as
they say, out OF politics.
The District Negro Suffrage bill is to be
modified SO as to qualify the right, mas
much as the plan of forcing universal ne
gro suffrage upon States and communities
has been abandoned even by many of the
extreme Radicals.

cal journal Of this city cndeavors to explain
away the official revenue returns Of advertising,
published in another column, by stating that
il only charges fifteen cents = line for adver-
Using, while the HERALD charges forty. Very
good We can easily show from its own figures
that the HERALD is the cheapest, as it 10 the
best. advertising medium in the country. The
radical journal charges fifteen cents line FOR
its issue Of twenty thousand copies: conse-
quently we ought TO charge scventy-6vc cents
line for our Issue Of one hundred thousand
copies, according W this radical editors arith-
me,ic But we do not; We charge only forty
cents line, thus giving our advertisers the
benefit Of Eve times the circulation for less
than three times the price
Another pointin this official table is worthy Of
notice. II will be observed that during the past
year our advertising patronage has largely
increased. Our receipts for the past twelve
months are immensely in excess of those for the
thirteen months Immediately preceding. This
increase comes from the people. During
the past year We declined to publish the
corporation advertisement h, which are said
to pay about one hundred thousand dol
lars year to our contemporaries-tbe radical
journal included. Neither did We publish
those wonderful theatrical advertisements,
about which 90 much fuss WAS made, and which
we're declared 70 pay another hundred thou
sand per annum. Facts are ssubborn things,
and we advise our contemporaries not 70 insti.
tute any Of these dangerous comparisons be.

advertising thrown TO them by the ignorant OF
