The New York World says in reference
to the approaching contest in the Northern
and Western States:
g The great Importance of the ensuing
Congressional elections does not depend on
their relation to the early admission of the
Southern Senators and Representatives. but
on their relation to the next Presidential
election The ten excluded States make a
difference of seventy votes in the electoral
colleges-ffty for their Representatives and
twenty for their Senators. The Radicals are
maneuvering to exclude these, seventy eleeto-
raj votes To foil their intention is the
most solid advantage that We can gain in the
approaching elections.
" Happily, we do not need, for this pur-
pose, to elect majority, but only onethird
of the members of the House. AS the laws
now stand, those States are entitled to their
due number of electoral votes, and the Pres
ident of the Senate would be compelled to
receive and count them To have the South
ern electoral votes counted, it is not necessa-
ry to repeal law, but only to prevent the
passage of new one; state Of facts which
makes great difference in the Congressional
strength needed by the Unionists. To re
peal an existing law requires majority of
both Houses; but to defeat new law which
the President disapproves, requires only one
third Of the members of one House, and one
vote additional. If we can elect one-third
of the House of Representatives, We shall eff
fectually countervail the chief object Of the
Radicals in their policy Of exclusion. A
gam oftuenty odd Congressman will give
us seventy electoral votes which we should
otherwise lose. .,r-s,.,.I s,ie.t

From Washington dispatch, of the Both
ut, wc learn that the public debt state
ment for September will show reduction
similar to that of the last statement, while
the coin balance will be found to have in
creased in the same proportion"
Everything that goes to prove positive
reduction in the Government debt must be
pleasant to taxpayers and especially those
in these parts who are now burdened with
taxation, without representation AS NOR
sci Of comfort to our heavily burdencd peo-
pie we publish the following remarks of an
Exchange on this interesting subject:
1.-The process of paying off the public debt
sppcars to be going on at rate which seems
really to give promise of the ex.inguishment
Of the Government obligations at no very dis
tant period. The last monthly statement
shows reduction of indebtedness since Au-
gust lst, of $37 ,4l6,104; since June 1st, of
81, sos, 1893; and since August LIST 1865,
the period at which the debt was at it's max
mum. of $l6l ,570,l08 The total amount
of the deb: Oh the lst inst, was So, sos, $685.
l68. The rate Of liquidation which has char
scterlzcd the last three months would, if con-
tnued, cancel the whole within nine years.

MAGNIFICENT LITERARY FABRIC. -Web-
ster's Quarto Dictionary has passed through
various editions, each an improvement upon
and an enlargement of the preceding, untilit
has eliminated in the present magnificent lit
erary and linguistic fabric. The reputation Of
this work is not confined to America. Wefnd
it stated that in the Alexandra case, tried in
the Court of Exchequer at Westminster Hall,
under purely English law, no other dictiona-
ry, English or American, was quoted or al
luded to than his. The Lord Chief Baron,
in his decision, pronounced /" Webster's Die
tionary work of the greatest learning, re-
search, and ability" Besides the numerous
illustrations with which the volume is inter
spersed, there are at the end sixty seven pa
ges Of the most finished pictorial illustrations,
representing almost every conceivable object
in nature, science and art. It would be un
necessary, if we were competent to the task,
to subject this work to a critical analysis. =
It's reputation is firmly established It is
built upon rock, and can bid defiance to any
petty storm that the critics can raise.-Rach-

The adoption by the Southern States of
the proposed Constitutional Amendment of
the last Congress seems to be the important
topic Of discussion by many Of our exchanges
Just now. Some Northern Journals, which
have leaned to a conservative policy, argue
that now is the time for the Southern Legis-
Iatures to take fortune at its flood and by
adopting said amendment secure representa-
tion in Congress, not attainable in any other
way, while the Radical Journals insist that
the case of Tennessee is not to be a precedent
to the admission of other Southern States to
representation in Congress, Or, in other
words, that the adoption of the Constitutional
amendment by the Southern States is not and
will not be considered sufficient ground for
the readmission of said States to the Union.
It occurs to us that our Northern cotempora-
ries are wasting ink and paper in this discus
sion. The Southern people have not the
slightest idea Of adopting the proposed amend
1ucA1. ~ 40 IL IuSoetoA HACtuSl lc pACoCHtd-
ton in Congress, where a fanatical radical
majority holds dominant sway, is desirable
on our part, and especially, when it is to be
purchased by the acknowledgment of our own
degradation and the ostracisln of our best
men, but when re-admission to the Union
and representation in its National Councils,
is not to be obtained, as asserted by the Rad
icals, even by the adoption of the proposed
Constitutional amendment, it is positively
certain that the South will none of it. The
Southern people have fully enough to con-
tend with in the recupcration of their finan-
cial affairs, without disturbing themselves
greatly over unconstitutional amendments,
which can only be productive of future evil
They will therefore devote their time and
attention, as they have done since the war, to
their own private and State affairs, and can
only rely upon the returning sober sense Of
the Northern masses to accord, sooner or la.
ter, without degrading conditions, their
rights and privileges in the Union which are
now and have SO long been unjustly with
held.

AN INJUNCTION CAsE.-Fort Monroe,
Sept ga writ was issued to-day in the
United States District Court at Norfolk for an
injunction against the Orange and Alexan-
dria Railroad. The injunction was granted
in favor Of the Adams Express Company, and
upon the grounds of alleged violation of con-
tract by the railroad company. The National
Express Company, some months ago, it is
alleged, was granted the privilege Of trans
porting its freight over the road upon more
favorable terms than those made by special
agreement with the Adams Express Company
and hence the application for an injunction.

Notwithstanding the efforts that have been
made to prove that the President is in doubt
as to the propriety Of his policy, he stands as
firm as the rock Of Gibraltar to principle. So
far from wavering in the least in regard to
his positions we learn, from the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore San. that he
will not recommend the adoption of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment, as has of
late been frequently asserted, but that in his
next message he will urge, that, while i" the
Constitution leaves it an open question for the
Courts to decide whether legislation is or is
not binding while States are refused repre-
scntation, that that instrument is distinct and
emphatic in lis requirements that in the prep
aration of amendments to the Constitution
all the States that claim and are willing to
exercise the right shall be represented" and
that he will insist ~ on the admission of loy-
al oad legally qualified representatives from
all the non-represented States"
This being the case, Andrew johnson
sands true to principle, and will force the
Radicals in the next session of Congress, as
he did in the last, in their attempted assaults
upon him as Chief Magistrate, to assail in
stead the Constitution of their country, in
which conflict, prejudice and passion having
cooled down, and reason and justice re-cn-
throned, it is almost needless to assert that
the Constitution will stand when the Radi-
Gals, their theories and unjust assumptions
are buried in merited oblivion.

ture be conducted jointly under the style OF the

ment perhaps may be- that this is intended as q
grand monopoly; but when all the circumstan-
ces surrounding this junction are known and the
public are made acquainted with the reasons I'M
polling it, the proprietors feel assured they Will
be sustained.
The reason can be briefly stated as follows:
heavy rerts, costly outfits, scarcity of money,
| enormous taxation prospects OF little business,
and costs of spirited competition.
These were the impelling causes for this con-
solidation, and not for the purpose of moaopoh-
zing the business, and thus enabling US to in

They are very positive and emphatic
Gen. Grant said, after return from an ex-
tended Southern trip, in which he investiga-
ted thoroughly the status and feeling Of the
people of that section:
"My observations led me to the conclu-
sion that the citizens of the Southern States
are anxious to return to sci! government WITH
IN THE UNION, as soon as possible that while
reconstructing, they want and require pro-
lection from the government that they are
an earnest IN aoashimg to do achat they think
