Jean Jacques Lemercier, went from New
York to Wetumpka, Ala, with little
stock of fancy goods. His stock was soon
disposed of, chiefly on credit, and after
some six months, the owner, as badly bro
ken as a disbanded Confed., was on Broad
way again. He met a friend who said:
"Ah, Monsieur Lemercier, back again?
You have been away some time. Where
have you been?" "Ah, oui ave been
away, to Onitougka, in re State of Alaba-

Good sense from AIabama.

We have had forwarded to us, for
publication, the proceedings of a
meeting of the citizens Of Florence,
Alabama, which will be found ON the
second page this morning A gentle
man of our city, who was present at
the meeting, assures US that the reso-
buttons express the sentiments of the
mass of the people; that they are will
ing to accept the proposed Constitu-
tional Amendment, if they are assur-
ed that it will be a, fnality, and that
its ratification by Alabama will pro-
cure for the State readmission to the
Union with all its rights and privii7
leges. # He says that the people are
anxious for settlement of ltheseinew
questions and long for political peace,
and that the, only trouble, is on the
part of the politicians who are dis
Lfranehised by the amendment, and
who unfortunately bad the controls
ing influence in the legislature which
lately rejected the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

the Language of the Florence resolu-.
tioHs, tits far better Ebbs the accept
aneei Of the Amendms mt thuslto set
tie our relations growing out of THE,
war, than to risk years Of strife to
secure better terms" Governor
PATTON and his associates, now at
Washington, will have no difficulty
in satisfying themselves that Congress
is willing and anxious to accept the
Constitutional Amendment as COM
plete basis of reconstruction, and that
its passage by Alabama will, as it. did
in the case Of Tennessee, secure the
admission of loyal Representatives to
Congress, and full political rights to
the State. The Amendment has been
ratified, by overwhelming majorities,
by the people of all the Northern
States. They will accept nothing less
as a settlement of the national diff
culties, and if met in a frank and
proper spirit by the South, will re-
-quire nothing more.
r These Florence resolutions are in
marked contrast with the extracts
which we publish this morning from
the Richmond, Mobile, and Memphis

papers. The one is the voice of the
people, in their primary meeting, long
ing for peace and an end of strife; the
other the smothered spirit of the re-
bellion, speaking through the unruly
politicians, still 10th to give up the con-
troll of the masses; which must be the
case if the Constitutional Amendment
is adopted.

present political status may not come
up to the full measure of the Con-

which should entitle him to
consideration at the hands of
the Senate. He entered the army
as Surgeon and remained in
it nearly up to its close, and efficiently
seconded Governor MORTON in his
efforts to provide for the sick and the
wounded. Six of his brothers were
prominent officers in the army, and
three members of his family were
killed in battle. He was member
of the Republican National Conven-
ton which nominated LINCOLN
and JOHNSON. Being an old acquain-
lance and personal friend of President
JOHNSON, he has chung to him more
