PLATFORM THAT WE CAN ALL
STAND UPON.

Loyal representation in Congress upon the
basis of actual roting population, is as strong
and safe platform for reconstruction as our
friends could stand upon. The sentiment of
the country at large would support them
thereon, and the whole Republican party be
a unit in its adoption.
II the Reconstruction committee had en-
bodied one doctrine into the shape of con-
stitutional amendment, together with that de.
claring those guilty of rebellion ineligible to
Office under the Government, emitting all
else, it would have done wisely. The propo.
sition would have been promptly accepted by
the people, and an early solution of the re-
construction problem would thus have been
reached.
We are not without theS hope that the result
OF the pending discussion in Congress will
finally be the adoption of these doctrines,
shorn Of all verbiage and side issues
Would not this cover everything that the
emergency demands? Is not this all that the
loyal people demand? Frame the two simple
and ample propositions thus:
l. None but loyal Senators or Representa-
tives, who have never, in deed or word, been
guilty of treason or rebellion, shall be quail
fed to take seats in the Congress, or to fill
any Office under the General Government.
2. The apportionment for representation in
Der Of legal voters in a State.
Congress being the only Judge Of the quail
fcatous of its own members, we do not see
why, under this doctrine, it could not under
a careful exercise of its prerogative, enforce
the strictest loyalty on the part of all Sena-
TORS ard Representatives applying for admis-
sion, at any time. from the States lately in
rebellion, and thus keep out all men of doubt
fnl or questionable loyalty. And the qualif-
cation to hold office under the Government
would certainly be rs severe punishment Of
the Southern politicians, and as strong safe
guard against any danger that may be reason
ably apprehended from them in the future, as
could possibly be adopted.
We believe the whole Republican party can
be united upon this reconstruction platform,
rs it can be upon no other, as whole, tina,
has yet been proposed. Then why not adopt
it, and thus put an end to the quarrel within
the Republican party ?-Chicugo Journal

SATURDAY MORNING, MAY IL


4
twill be remembered no doubttg 3 large
number of our citizens that some years ago .
charter was granted for railroad from st.
Louis to Keokuk, running through the above
named towns. We learn that the North Mis-
SOUR road having $500, 900 of State Bonds
issued to aid them in the completion Of their
road from Macon TO Iowa, and which they
are unable to negotiate at any price, have
agreed to remove their road and make it
mari OF this road and to furnish in addition
thereto the ST, 500, 900 to aid in its construc--
tion. We are informed that the old Board
of Directors have held q meeting at St. Louis
and that the capitalists of that city have al
ready agreed aud subscribed their names for
the purchase of all the North Missouri rail-
road State Bonds at par, and also together
with wealthy men in that city. Louisiana
and other places have agreed to subscribe
nearly million more. The charter expires
early next year and If there is any founda-
ton for the reports (which we have no reason
to doubt) the work must be commenced soon
to save forfeiture of the charter. With a
cash capital of over eight millions to com.
mence with, there is certainly no reason why
road so easily built as this may be should
not be put Through at once by the growing
energy and enterprise of st. Louis capitalists
alone. If they will judiciously spend this
amount (ss,ooo 900, they will have no trouble
in obtaining such additional amounts as may
be required fJr the completion of the road
This road proper will terminate at Lagrange
where it will connect with the Lagrange
Canton end Keokuk road, which was char
tered at the last Session. We learn tina,
sufficient stock has been subscribed to war
rant the commencement Of work on this
road, and large portion of it will be graded
this summer and fall. This will make two
roads, but one continuous line, which will, OIL
course, when completed, be at once consoli-
dated by agreement of the companies, thus
making one of the finest routes of travel any.
where in the West. 1t can be easily con-
structed and with much less than the ordina.
ry expense of roads, as it will be built as
close as expedient to the river. During the
whole distance there cannot be any heavy
grades at a single point on the whole route.
We certainly hope the reports are all true,
and that the enterprise will be speedily &C
complished. -Hamibal Courier.

since that date we find the following, clipped
rom the Norfolk, Va, Post, which shows
that the rebels interpret the Executive defec-
ton precisely as do the copperbeads of the
North; that it is considered victory for the
South, and that through the treachery of An
drew johnson they expect to gain what they
We're unable to secure by force of arms. The
Post says:
., Since the morning of July 22, 1861, when
the news of the great Southern victory
acneyed by Beauregard over Mcdowell. and
the awful rout OF the Federal army on the
plains OF Manassas, was borne through the
South, on the wings of the wind, as it were,
carrying joy and jubilation into every loyai
southern household, and gladdening every
true Southern heart, there has been no news
received with SO much rejoicing by the peonle
OF the South, as that contained in the dis
patch informing them the President had veto
ed the treedmen's Bureau BILL This Is the
greatest victory they have achieved during
the war-greater than any of the feats of arms
OF Stonewall Jackson or of Robert Z. Lee:

The Times, of course, takes the extreme
