POSITION OF THE RADICALS TOWARD THE coNsT1Tu-
TIoNAL AMENDMENT.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The 4th of July Grafton
by Wendell Phillips at Pennington has been made
the subject Of considerable comment among the
Republican members OF Congress. They say, is
he mistaken in saying that they do not desire the
Amendment On the contrary they declare that
what they wish and hope above all things is, that
the amendment may be ratified by the twenty-five
Northern States and by two Of the Southern States
They even took some pains to get General Grant
cornered ON the subject, and extorted from him
the expression on his part of an approval of the
measure, and hope that it would be ratified by
the requisite plumber of States. They were greatly
elsted at wing eiici ed this expression Of opin
public places here, and telegraphed it to all their
newspaper organs.
AN UNLOCKED FOR EMBARRASSMENT.
What the Radical leaders say about ratification
is this: They do not wish the amendment ratified
by any of the Southern States except Tennessee
and Louisiana, or Tennessee and Arkansas. They
wish nine Of the Southern States to vote against
it, They wish to impose it, to force it upon the
states) by which It can be adopted. This was
their programme up to the time when the Presi-
dent sent in his message upon the subject and
for some time thereafter.
The subsequent action OF some Of the Northern
Governors has caused them great tribulation.
They expected prompt calling together of the
and the ratification OF the amendment by every
one OF them. But it is certain now that the Leg
ialatures OF the following ten States will not be
convened at all in extra session, and will not,
therefore, vote upon the amendment until De-
cember or January next, namely: Maryland In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky, New Jersey, Delaware, L.
iinos, Wisconsin, Iowa and New York. Nor is
this ALL From the best information that can be
obtained the Republican members themselves are
forced to think that next winter, when the Legis-
be rejected by the following six States. namely:
New jersey, Delaware Kentucky Indiana, MARI
land, and probably Illinois.
UNwgLcoME NEWS FROM TENNESSEE,
Nor is this the worst Within q few days past,
intelligence from Tennessee has been received
which renders it almost certain that, instead Of
ratifyiDg the amendment, Tennessee will reject it.
This intelligence completely upsets the pro-
gramme Of The Radical leaders and has dr!ven
them hot
done all that they could do to defeat the restora
tion policy of the President, and counting with
certainty upon the passage Of the Tariff Bill, they
had even gone 30 far as to talk among themselves
OF being able now to bring the session to close;
OF adjourning; OF leaving here large executive
committee to watch the President during the next
five months, and OF going home to attend to the
fall elections.
Alas the unexpected news from Tennessee, and
the provoking conduct Of ten Of the Northern
entirely to the Presidents recent message, has
spoied this pretty programme has thrown the
Radicals on their beam ends and has rendered
it necessary for them to mark out and substitute
for it something entirely different. And as il this
was not enough, comes now the call for the Ma
siastio response that is made to it in every quar-
ter Of the Union. The Radical leaders are not
blind and they plainly perceive that all their work
Of tho last seven months is now undone, and that
they must begin de nouo.
aBIEvoUs DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE nAp1oAIs.
It s not, therefore, that they did not expect nor
desire the ratification of the amendment Il ia
that they are grieviously disappointed and trou.
bled because they have been IaboAng seven
months in vain. What to do is now the question,
and until satisfactory solution OF that question
is arrived at, an adjournment is out OF the ques-
tion. In this emergency, caucus after caucus has
been held, and plan after plan has been suggest
