SAN Francisco, June OIL Pm.

Now n Them The Sacramento
Onion takes particular pains to justify the
Stevens and Sumner policy of reconstruc-
ton advocated at the present day, which
is in direct opposition to what it promul-
gated and advocated two years and a half
ago, In its issue Of September 80, 1868,
il had an article in relation to Summers
views upon the condition of the rebel
States, from which we make the follow
ing extract:
His (Sumner's) position is that the
rebel State Governments were abrogated
by the act Of treason they committed, and
that it is not only the right but the duty
of Congress to declare them Territories and
furnish them Governments as Territories.
This is plausible, but to US seems sophis-
teal and uns .und. Those State Govern
ments still exist. and the great struggle on
the Union side has been since the war be-
gan to force them'to return to the Union
and their allegiance ; while the rebel gov
eminent has been fighting to protect them
as States in the rebel Confederacy. II
Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, Louisiana and the States
west of the Mississippi were to lay down
their arms-were to cease all resistance to
the Federal Government, and the majority
of persons Of those States were to elect
loyal Governments and send men to Con-
eress known to be friends Of the Union
upon what ground could the Nationa.
Government reject their application
Would not Congress pass an Act Of Am
nesty for all except the leaders, and &C
cept the people and the penitent States al
again members of the Union. Could the
Government add any other condition thar
allegiance to the Government and the Con-
stitution."

ORGANIC CHANCES TO, Cover A Sra
TuTE.-By demanding the insertion OF the
main principles Of the Civil rights bill in
the Constitution, the Radicals have adj
mitted that those principles are not there
now, and thus they have disarmed their
OWL defenders. It has been said by some
Radicals that the Civil Rights Constitu-
,ional Amendment bears to the Emanci.
patton Proclamation {; that 1t is only a
more authoritative declaration Of q valid
principle. This remark betrays a gross
misconception. The Emancipation Pro-
clamation set u certain set of men free. but
lef. the State laws relating to the institu.
ton Of slavery in full vigor. Other slaves
might have been imported. or other men
condemned to slavery for crime. The
Anti Slavery Proclamation not only freed
the slaves in the districts excepted BY the
proclamation, but abolished hereditary
slavery absolutely. If the amendment
had merely affirmed the principles Of the
proclamation, its adoption would have
been equivalent to an admission that the
proclamation was not safe before the loyal
Supreme Court. The proposed Civil
Rights Amendment indicates that the
Radicals do not consider the Civil Rights
bill secure before that tribunals. F

EASTERN DISPATCHES.
FROM THE CARSON APPEAL y TINS MORNING..


New YoRx, May 3o.-The British
steamer arrived yesterday at the lower
quarantine, sixteen days from Liverpool
with 400 passengers, and,ffteen cases OF
cholera, having had thirtysthree deaths on
the passage.
A steamer supposed to DO the Peruvian
from Liverpool, arrived also with cholera
on board.
The Persia's news gives improved i'm
pulse TO gold, but effect upon Government
securities, is less than was expected. In
,yestnent' inquiry was active; stock mar
ket was more animated.
The funeral of General Scott wal at 10
o'clock on Friday morning, and that day
was observed, BY order Of the President,
in a proper manner, at all military posts.
The flags of the shipping to-day are at
half mast. General Scott was out on Sat
urday, and gave no sigma, Of early death.
On Sunday he began failing quite fast.
He was perfectly conscious up to the mo-
ment of his death, though he had lost his
voice some two hours previous. He re-
cognized the Chaplain of the post ten
minutes before he died, and clasped his
hand in silence.
Suspicious Fenian movements lead TO
the belief that General Sweeney is on the
war path, and means mischief. Bodies
Of armed Fenians are reported leaving
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and
other points for the Canada border.
Ada Isaacs Menken is lying danger
ously i'll at her up town residence in this
city.
The Peruvian brought 1853 passengers,
and lost during the passage thirty-fve
from cholera. Eighteen are now sick,
and will be transferred O ethc hospital
ship.
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The Senate
took up the Constitutional Amendment.
Mr.. Doolittle moved an amendment to
the first section by inserting the words,
" Indians not taxed"
Mr.. Cowan thought it belonged to the
States to say who are citizens.
Mr.. Howard said the great objection to
Mr.. Doolittle's amendment was that its
effect would be to naturalize all Indians
who paid taxes.
Mr.. Doolittle said tho words in his
amendment were in the Civil Rights Bill,
in the provision similar to that which was
now proposed as a constitutional amend
ment, and the Civil Rights Bill undertook
the same thing which is now proposed
herein, declaring who shall DO citizens.
Amendment agreed to by q vote Of 80
"a 10.

SrIwARr-AMoNG OTHBR TKINos.-
The special Washington correspondent Of
the St. Joseph Morning Herald, writes
from the Federal capitol, under date OF
May 9th, as follows:
1.-THE Presidents policy has grown in
favor in. Congress and out Of it since the
appearance Of the Congressional plan.
Already there are signs Of conversion
from the radical to the conservative side.
Mr.. Stewart, Of Nevada, who strayed
from the true fold a few months ago, I'M
der the mistaken notion that by doing so
he would make q great man OF himself
that the Reconstruction Committee would
adopt his "plan," and thus he would 60
before the country as a great COMPROMISED
the Henry Clay Of lS66-is knocking
a. the door of conservatism already. and

radical camp"

THE Springfield Republican speaks Of
the third proposed amendment Of the Con-
stitution, submitted blythe Reconstruction
Committee, as follows:
The third section of the article Of
amendment proposed will very certainly
be fatal to the whole scheme. It is i'm
possible to resist the conviction that it
was meant to be, and that the object Of
the programme. taken as q whole, is not
to secure the restoration of the Southern
States to "full participation in oil politi-
cal rights" but to prevent and postpone
this contamination till after the next
Presidential election. Now. if it can be
made out that the national safety requires
the exclusion of the Southern States from
the Union-for it amounts to this-until
we have elected another Republican Pres.
ident, very we'll; but let US have some sort
Of solid, logical ground to stand upon.
The present scheme gives US no such ba-
sis. It is lame and shaky in every part.
It assumes that the Southern State gov
ernments arc legitimate by asking them to
vote upon the proposed amendments.
They are y the Union for this, but not in
for the election of representatives to Con-
gress or for casting their votes for Presi-
dent; they are capable of exercising the
highest functions Of citizens Of States, but
not the lowest.
This will not do. II we have deter.
mined upon continued disunion, let US
have it in q straightforward, manly way
let US fall back upon the theory Of Mr..
Sumner, wipe out the existing State gov
ernments Of the South, and establish ter
ritorial governments for four years or
thirty, as we think best. Then we can Ak
the Constitution to suit ourselves, while
We keep the Southern States out. This
will give US q clear and consistent issue;
and late as it is to take It up, we can go
before the country with better prospecs.of
carrying tho people, than If the congress
sional muddle is accepted. There are
other points, in the joint committees
scheme that invite discussion and criti-
cism. But this is the most vital point. It
must be made consistent with itself and
consistent with some one theory Of recon-
struction, or It cannot stand before the
people.

SOUTHERN LOSSES BY TIKI WAR.-It
will be remembered that the rebel Lieut..
Maury. some time since, wrote a letter to
the London Morning Herald, estimating
the Southern losses by the war at $1,000
900, 900. This estimate being extensively
published In the United States, has at
length been attacked BY Mr.. Robert Ty-
Ter, formerly a Philadelphia. but more
recently a rebel Department clerk at Rich
mond. Tyler, who writes a letter to the
Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, is much more
moderate than Maury in his views, and
thinks all the items Of the Lieutenant's
account too much exaggerated. Maury
says the South lost SO, Ooo, OOo, 900 BY the
emancipation Of slaves, but Tyler thinks it
was only Sl,7oo.o oO, 900. Maury says
10 war cost the South 81, 900, 900, 900,
/, Tyler, considering the heavy discount
on rebel paper, saysitcost but $4,000, ooo,-
900. Msury says $1,000, ooo, 900 Of pri.
vate property was destroyed, but Tyler
thinks the loss was but 800, ooo, 900.
Tyler thus comments on all the items, and
makes his estimate Of the Southern losses
49, 500, 600, 900, but half Maury's estimate.
The loss is certainly heavy enough in
either case, and whether it be 1000, ooo.-
900 or only So, 500, 900, 900, it is still a
most striking illustration Of the utter folly
Of secession.

THr moarA11ry or TEE WAR.

By the Provost Marshal Generals report,
to which we referred on a former OCCASION
it appears that the total number Of deaths
from wounds or disease in the army dur
ing the wal was 2so,42O, and that the
aggregate number Of men furnished the
army under all the calls was ~2,l64,4l2.
From the detailed statements, it appears
that one officer was killed in battle to
every eighteen men killed, while ont OFF,
GER died Of disease to every ninety men
who died. A noteworthy feature is the
great mortality among the colored troops.
1897 colored soldiers died from wounds,
and 26,40l Of disease. Among the whites
the proportion of deaths from disease to
deaths from wounds was as 2 to l, whilst
among the blacks it was 8 to /. Nearly
one.seyenth Of all the blacks who were
enlisted, died during the war, but the
proportion among the whites was but one
fifteenth. or the troops furnished, Iowa
and Kansas lost proportionately the great
est number, l in S; Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey lost l in II; Maine,
New Hampshire and Illinois lost l in I
and Massachusetts, and Ohio / in 0. This
report embraces only those who died
whilst in service, and does not include the
thousands who were discharged from the
army for disability and died after reach
ing their homes.

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-Some Of the
suggestions made to the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company of projects to recover the
lost cable are very amusing. One of the
Directors tells a story Of an old gentle.
man who proposed to him to sink a hol-
low tube in mid-ocean, so that he nigh,
90 down through it n look after the
cable. The Director was 70 annoyed by
his persistent calls that he told the old
gentleman tina, his project should be adop-
ted, ana he, the author OF the idea, should
make the frs, attempt. Since this the
old gentleman has not made his appear
ance. The Duke OF Wellington once had
4 similar experiment, and sent for a loaded
muske, to try a bullet-proof vest upon
the inventors body, w~hereupon the in
ventor went of. and never troubled the
Duke any more.

cause he signed a call for an Administra-

baugh is abundantly able to answer this
charge for himself; but merely for the
purpose Of again illustrating the consistent
Unionism of the Pe.ree, we remind our
readers that it repudiated the Union NOM
nation for Congress in 81 and hoisted
the name of John Crsdlebaugh as an in
dependent candidate. Remember, this
was during the war, and the result Of Its

Auence-was to secure the election Of the
Nevada Chief Of the Knights Of the Gold.

THE concern, in Virginia, that offers to sell
itself ous to the Copperheads, at the begin
ming Of every campaign, now says that its
mission as a radical" organ is to "crush
out" the idea "thas the blacks have no
rights which the whites are bound to re-
spect." The Constitutional Amendment
abolishing slavery having been adopted,
and the Civil Rights Bill passed by Con-
gress, negro suffrage, forced upon the
South, is the only practical matter to
crush about. on the mission above de-
scribed. Talk about daring to publicly
declare!" If there is a spark Of sincerity
in all its hool-hooting at the President, i,
secretly desires Universal suffrage, the po-
litical equality Of all negroes and Mougo-
lians with the whites; bu, it dare no.
publicly declare such sentiments and aims.
Not credi,ing it chow can you, on its own
record p with any political sincerity, we
return to first notice, and nnoun its
only object to be, the disruption Of the
