hundred thousand blacks from suffrage, and
give TO her three hundred thousand whites
representation In Congress Of seven hundred
thousand people, 1t will be pleaded that seven
white men in New York or any otheINorthern
State are reduced to the level in Congress of
three white men in South Carolina and thus
this distinction, while it lasts, will be made
theme Of misohievous sectional agitation.
Under the constitution before the rebellion
only three-ffths Of the slaves of the South were
allowed in counting the people for representa-
ton in Congress, but this was among the con-
cessions to slavery which strengthened the
hands Of the Northern abolitionista
Section three Of the new amendment ex-
cludes from any federal Office hereafter, until
Congress, certain parties who, in the service Of
the United States, had sworn to support the
constitution and afterwards joined the rebel
lion. This may seem to many generous minds
too sweeping in It's exclusions; but as it is
apparent that It meets the prevailing tone and
temper Of the Union war party Of the North
the best the South can do is to accert it, and
trust to the healing influences Of reunion TO
obliterate in a general law Of Congress by
two-thirds vote all distinctions between rebels
and Unionists Of the late war; We dare say it
will very soon come to this with the adoption
Of this amendment by the Southern States.
But section four, In regard to the national
war debt, all rebel debts and obligations, and
to compensation for emancipated slaves as
measure Of security for the future, embodies
the great secret of the strength Of this consti-
tptional amendment in the Northern States.
Herein lies the great power of the republican
party in the North, though cut Off from the
administration. 1t is the power OF three thou
sand millions Of dollars diffused in the national
currency and securities broadcast over the
land Hence we say that sound policy and
wisdom call upon the administration and the
South to accept and aid in the ratification Of
this constitutional amendment without further
loss of time

A REGIMENT or HussARs YoR CAsADA-H is
quite amusing to notice the scale on which the
military movements of England are made, and
the tremendous flourish that Is kept up about
them. The universal world, and especially the
Yankee nation and the Fenians, are notified
that regiment Of hussars has been shipped by
the Cunard steamships Europa and Tarifa from
England to Canada. The Canadians will feel
proud Of this. and will bristle up with immense
military ardor. A thousand hussars-splendid
looking fellows, with their jackets, which tn ~
had not time to put on at the battle Of Water
loo before going into action, still hanging Off
their shoulders, magnidcently mounted ON the
best English horses, and commanded by off,
GERS who never smelt gunpowder, and who
belong to the first families Of the aris-
tocracy-it il supposed, will terrify the Fe-
mans and check the aggressive Yankees.
Now, while we can pity the weakness Of the
old lady across the herring pond whom we
used to call mother about her ridiculous mill
tary movements and pet regiments, we deem it
our duty, out Of pure kindness, to inform her
that her regiment Of hussars, or many such,
would be Of little consequence in fight with
veterans on this side. They would be gobbled
up in no time, horses, jackets and all, by the
Fenians, II the United States should not inter-
fere. These Fenians are federal and Confeder-
ate soldiers, who have been tried In hundred
battles. Fighting is sport to them. They snuff
the air with ferocious impatience for the fight,
as the war horse snuffs the battle afar off, We
say nothing of the United States. Canada and
oil the British troops that could be sent would
only be moutnful to our armies. We
mention only the Fenians, and warn the ele-
giant, mustached young aristocrats who COM
mand the hussars to keep as far away from
these federal and Confederate veterans as
possible.

GEN. RoBr. e. LEE was before the Commit
fee on Schools and Colleges, III the Virginia
Legislature, last week. Bolivar Christian, one
Of the Board Of Trustees Of the Washington
College, presented a memorial, showing the
nresent condition Of the College He stated
that in 1895 the Safe Of Virginia offered to
Gen. Washington one hundred shares OF the
old James River Company, but that good and
great man refused to accept it except as dona-
tion to the cause OF education in this college,
This donation is valued at $4,000, and the in
terest on it amounts to $4,000. This interest
has been paid to January lst, 1855. Washing
ton College also holds the amount Of $25, 668
in State stocks, dooated by the surviving Off
GERS of the Revolution The College also holds
S13. 100 worth Of guaranteed bonds in the James
Riyer and Kanawha Company, which was do
mated to it by the late John Robertson The
College has received the interest on these invest
What is due. The College also owned about
$4,000 worth of bank stock Whi3h was de-
stroyed.
Gen. r. e. Lee, President Of the College,
then made few remarks He had but little
to add to what Mr. Christian had said. There
were about one hundred students at the College
this session. The buildings have all been re-
paired, the Federal army having left nothing
scarcely but the walls All the philosophical
and chemical apparatus had been destroyed by
the same party, but had been replaced BY the
authorities of the College. The money used in
repairing the buildings and restoring tae appa:
ratus had been borrowed On the expectation Of
receiving this interest to pay it back, Gen.
Lee looked remarkably we'll and was the centre
of attraction. The committee took little re-
cess to pay their respects to Gen. Lce.-R1ch-
