RECONSTRUCTION IN TIE HOUSE.
MIR. EDITOR: The Reconstruction Amend
nent has been finally settled. wrote you
last week Of its passage in the Senate by a vote
of 33 to H. In the House il was taken up
again on Wednesday, and after three or iour
twenty-minute speeches, including, OF course,
one from the interchangeable Rogers, the Sen tie
Amendments were agreed to by the over"heim-
ing vote of 1873 to 80, and the Resolution was
thus plac,d before the country for its approval
or disapproval We need not say that We
hope for It's approval, for We believe that ali
loyal and intelligent men the necessity for
it, and will speedily make it part Of the fun
damental law, in spite of the croakings OF Cop
perheads, the threats Of traitors and the rage
OF rebels.
1t is very significant fact, in relation to the
future political life Of the Republic, that every
man who was elected on union ticket, and
who was present, voted for the Amendment
even including such wAltfiers Smith, Kan
dali, of ky., and Whaley. Thus the Recon
struction Committee became triumphant, and
the party once more u tied. Should the State.
speedily accept the Amendment, little more
trouble need be expected and even should they
not let US hope that good counsels will prevail
aad in unity the Republican party may preserve
ita strength.
TIE RELEASE OF JEFF. DAVIS.
On Monday the House sent forth to the
country its voice in the matter of the release
jeff DAVIS, which has caused much talk and
exct ed no little apprehension here. reso-
luton was intro 4uced which 10 of the Copper
head only dared 10 oppose, declaring the opln
ion of the House to be against the entertaining
of any idea looking to any other thing than
punishment.
All begin now 10 take hope, for Congress is
so decided, and the people ire SO clamorOus for
the punishment of traitors that it would hardly
seem that Johnson, let hun desire 1t ever
much, could release this man. And re-
frct on the matter We find THAI although all
the original secessonists are at large, still they
are not pardoned, and al who have been u the
power OF the Government Il all, are il its iull
power now, and liable to be arraigued a. any
time for tneir tre4sonaLle course.
We can from these facts take courage, and
believe that all is not lost, and that johnson
may Yet prove faithful to his ott-repeated prom
iSes.

NEW HAMPSHIRE Hon Jas. w. Patterson.
Of Hanover, member of the National House
Of Representatives, was chosen U. :. Senator
by the New Hampshire Legislature last week
to succeed AIR Clark, the present incumbent.
Mr.. Clark had held the Office for nine years.
He wa. candidate for reelection, and on the
first ballot in the caucus had more votes than
any other caudi ate.
Most of the opposition TO Mr.. Clark. how
ever, concentrated on Prof. Patterson, and he
was nominated. his nomination being afterward
MAIDS unanimous amid much enthusiasm.
Ali the candidates were Radical, and the re-
suit was brought about more BY personal pref
erences than by other considerations. Prof.
Patterson has been popular and useful mem

will serve his state admirably in the Senate.

THE RISE IN GoLD.-Gold mas advanced
in the last five weeks from l 20 ID TO l 60.
This has been occssioned by the prospect of
war in Europe, the financial panic there grow
ing out OF that exp citation, and the large debt
which We owe abroad, and which is being now
rapidly called in. At least forty mill ons OF
country for Europe, during the preceding FIVE
weeks. The government foolishly attempted to
stop the advance by selling its surplus gold,
out obliged to stop that drain on the
treasury, and the premium then rapidly rose.
Where he premium will stop one seems now
able TO predict but il will not probably stop
until a large part of our immense debt abroad
10 paid.

As toe coiaf END OF organized sociesy is the
promotion OF good morals and happiness

highest duties of society is 10 purify those
elements OF evil and discord which the pro-
pensItes OF Individual lits constantly throw
into 1t.
Men change from day 10 day, but the State
Is Immortal. They, therefore, perform the
best service to the State, who provide for the
univarsai education of It's youth, and for the
redemption Of those who have unhappily OF
Tended against its laws, especially those whose
tender years allow the hope, that they may
still be reclaimed to society. and made its
friends and supports, rather than Its enemies
and destroyers.
In NY Judgment. therefore, there is no
field of usefulness and benefit 10 the State,
more hopeful of more good than the instltu-
ton you now inaut urate. 1t belongs, emf
nentiy, TO our schools and social system. Let
1t flourish. Let the people bestow upon it

valuable and honorable to our noble Stale.
AS through the long ages, the light of
Christianity has more and more dawned up
on mankind, the rigor of mere punt hmens
has given way, gradually but surely, to refoI-
matory measures, until now in all civilized

such design but chcerfully conccdc to him
the most patriotic motives, they cannot but
look with alarm upon prcccdcntso fraught
with danger to the Republic.
Ninth-The necessity of providing ado
quatc safeguards for the future, before re-
storing the insurroctionary States to a partic-
ipation in the, direction Of PUBLIC affairs, as
apparent from!the bitter hostility to the Gov
ernment and people of tho United States yet
existing throughout the conquered territory,
is made incoMcstiblc by the testimony Of many
witnesses and by undsputcd facts.
1cntl-Thc conclusion Of your Committee,
therefore, is that the SO called Confederate
States arc not at present entitled to rcprcscn-
tation in the Congress of the United States
that before allowing such representation adc-
quate security for future peace and safety
should be required; that this can only be
found in such changes of the organic law as
shall determine the civil rights and privileges
of the citizens in all parts of this republic,
shafl place representation on an equitable ba-
sis, shall fix a stigma upon treason, and pro-
tcct the loyal people against future claims for
the expenses incurred in support of the rebel
lion and for manumitted slaves together with
an express grant of power in Congress to en-
force these provisions To this end they offer
joint resolution for amending the Constitu-
ton Of the United States and the two several
Bills designated to carry the same into effect

Before closing this report your Committee
beg leave to state that the specific rccommcn-
dations submitted by them are the result of
concession, after long and careful compar-
son of conflicting opinions. Upon question
of such magnitude, infinitely important as it is
to the future of the Republic, it was not to be
expected that all should think alike Sensi-
bic of the imperfectons of the scheuc, your
Committee submit it to Congress as the best
they could agree upon, in the hope that it's
impcrfcctions may be excused and its dcfcien-
cies supplied by Legislative wisdom, and that
when &naly adopted it may tend to restore
r1snen and harmony to. the country and to
place our Republican institutions on "a moro

The Theological Seminary.

The board of Trustees of the Theological
Seminary, in Columbia, held its annual meet,
ing last week, and, the :" Southern Presbytc.
rian'' informs US, adopted the following res-
olutions:
Resolved, l. That in she present unsettled
and impoverished condition of the country,
it is not thought cxpedcnt to inaugurate any
general scheme to raise funds among the
churches for the re-cndowment of the Semi
nary; but that it be recommended to the synods
heretofore cooperating in the support of tho
Seminary to raise, each in its respective bounds,
and by such agency as may be thought best,
the sum OF 1000 to supplement- the salaries
of four professorships.
z. That,in order to carry this measure into
effect, the Rev. DIR. Howe and Rev. Wm.
Banks be appointed a committee to attend the
next meeting of the Synod of South Carolina;
the Rev. Dr. Woodrow and Rev. Rufus X.
Porter, tho Synod of Georgia; the Rev Drs.
Adgcr and Stllman, the Synod of Alabama
and tho Rev Drs. Palmer and Lyon, the Syn
cd Of Mississippi.
3. Thatth ladies throug ghouta}l our church.
funds, in any way that may be thought best,
for the support INDECENT young men who may
be engaged in the prosecution of their thco.
logical studies; and that the pastors Of tho
churches be requested to aid the ladies by
their advice in tho prosecution of this under
taking.
Il. That the Rev. Mcssrs Dwight Withcr-
spoon, Of Memphis, Tenn; ThomasR Wclch,
of Little Rock, Ark; N. Chevaler, of Con
zolcs, Texas, be requested to solicit contrbu-
tions in their respective Synods, as they may
have opportunity, for tho general use of tho
Seminary
5. That, while adopting the above plan to
relieve the immediate, pressing wants of the
Seminary, the Board would nevertheless urge
such individuals in the churches as may have
the means to make contributions for the pcr,
na,nent endowment of the Se,ainary. And
they would, therefore, request the Rev. Drs
Joseph r. Wilson, James A. Lyon, b. Nj !,
Palmer and Rev. j. r.. Burgott, to act as
committee to raise funds for tlIc permanent cn-
dowment of the Seminary. @
