Union and American.
AFAyoRABLE sYMProm.

/ Forney, editorofthe Washington Chroa-
icIe, and correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, is political weathercock. He has
been everything by turns and nothing
long," and yet we have never known him to
fall on the loosing side 1t was only after
much hesitancy that he made up his mind
to follow the President in his policy of
reconstruction, but we may regard him now
as fairly over. The following, from one of
his recent Washington letters, is significant ::
Gradually, yet surely, the difficulties in
the way of restoration are subsidnig, and
that which was believed to be among the
probabilities, viz: difference between the
prominent and controlling intellects of the
National Union organization, may now,
] think, be wholly discarded. There is, in
fact, so little to quarrel about, that he will
be a factious and daring partizan indeed,
who attempts to make head against those ne
eessities which demand peace OH the basis of
something like the Presidents policy. 1t
does not seem to be doubted that the ques-
tion of suffrage viii be adjusted with the
consent of nearly all parties, by an amend
ment to the National Constitution, making
voters, instead of numbers, the foundation Of
representation in Congress. What, after
these, remains for, division and dispute !?
Shall we fly into rage at the President if
he appeals to Congress to admit loyal repre-
sentatives? While there may be DIFF
ference of opinion in regard to applicants
required obligations, there should be little
u IL
CATION. The continual exclusion of the
members from that State would be not only
inexpedient and unwise, but much like pro-
scription, and ] do not wonder that there is
good deal of restiyeness among their
friends.
The Southern States to-day are practically
in the Union. Both branches of Congress
have recognized the fact. United States
judges, marshals and other officials have been
nominated by the President and confirmed
by the Senate; the machiney of Federal tax
alton has been applied to them, and revenues
collected the Post Office Department has
extended its operations into all parts of the
South. No one act of the Government in
any ofits branches, executive, judicial or leg
islative, has tolerated for a moment the idea
that the Southern States have been a moment
out of the Union. What remains is simply
a matter as to the qualifications of the appli
cants. To attempt to establish system of
conditions looking to a protracted probation
is neither to improve the temper Of the peo-
pie of the South nor to strengthen the COM
mon friends of the Administration in the
North. Whenever sonnd and well APPROX
ed loyalist presents himself for admission I'd
Congress, it would be the height Of injustice
ia keep him out. While politicians palter,
the great work goes on.

University of virginia.


A correspondent of the New York Neies,
writing from Charlottesville, says of this ven
erable institution, founded and nurtured by
Jefferson, and at which so many of the best
men of the South have been educated:
During the war, as matter of course,
there were but very few students, indeed the
University existed but in name, and now
that peace, with its doubtful blessings, visits
our unfortunate country the manned and
mutilated soldier crawls from the battlefield
to this fountain Of knowledge, striving to
find in its healing waters balm, not only
for bodily wounds, but the more serious lac
erations of mind and heart from which he
suffers.
The desire for education throughout our
country is rather increased than diminished
by four years Of war, but the poverty of the
people is such that comparatively few can
afford college education. The number of
students here is only two hundred and forty,
not sufficient for the support of theainstitu-
ton. The literary fund of VirginzR from
which it was endowed, has ceased to have an
existence So thatth noble institution is
suffering almost the pangs of dissolution.
The Professors are striving energetically to
weather the storm, and with the help which
is hoped from the action of the Legislature
this winter they will doubtless succeed.
The library of the University is an unus-
| ually fine one. Its nucleus was selected by
Mr.. Jefferson, and it has been added to from
year to year until the number of volumes
amounts to thirty-fve thousand; it embraces
| but a small portion of the light literature OF
| the day the character of the books being
more solid than is usually the case in col
| lection of this kind.
A life-size statue of Mr.. Jefierson-which,
| for want of the means to erect it, has re-
| mained packed for four years-is still in the
| rotunda II is mastery piece Of Calls,
and will be great addition to the interest
and beauty of the place.
But once during the four years war did a
| force of the Federal army succeed in reach
| ing this place, and that Wnslast Spring, when
Sheridan made his raid, taking this county
| in his course Being State institution, the
greatest apprehension was felt that the
course pursued in Lexington might find its
parallel here and that the torch of the in
cendiary might lay waste in an hour this
work of nearly half century, but the fear
| proved groundless; even this army, which
had spread ruin and desolation along its
whole course passed by this beautiful spot
| without leaving trace of its presence. The
| greatest pains were taken to prevent injury
to the buildings and grounds guards were
placed around, and no one permitted to
enter, but by special permission.

Sensible Talk-The Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher delivered an address on recon-
struction, at Troy, the other evening, and Is
reported by the Times, (Rep.) as saying:
"Those flashes of Southern sentiment
bitter editorials and tossing heads, are not
surprising when we think of the scourge
that has swept over them; that proud
spirit has been obliged to confess defeat at
the hands of men they despised; that their
property has been swept away; their sons
slain they reduced from affluence to begga-
nv. When 1 think of this, the wonder is
that they are as temperate as they are. Con-
sidering their fearful defeat and humiliated
position, l think they have behaved well.
1t may not be fashionable, but honor them
for the feeling they exhibit"

Crime and C1sualty-The years police re-
cord gives an important class of statistics.
Sixty-two homicides occurred in New York
during 1865; and though the Irish of the
city are, with few grains of truth, said to
be its most unruly population, only four
homjcides were committed by lrishmen,
while the mass of murders, and those of the
worst character, were committed by Ameri-
cans and Germans. An equal number Of
suicides took place. The greatest single
item of casualties lone hundred and ninety
is drowning" which suggests among other
things more careful provisions for landing at
our wharves and ferries. Forty-fye jnfanti-
cides are set down, and the most violent
means of death seems TO have been preferred
by the suicides. Recently another suffoca-
ton to death (this time of two children) oc-

AN INFAMOUS PROPOSITION.


At the afternoon session Of the Pittsburg
Convention on the 26th instant, General Streight
offered the following resolution, after declaring
his belief against well known facts) that the
South was now becoming defiant:
Resolred That in the opinion Of this Con-
vention it is the duty Of Congress to direct the
President TO remove from the States lately in
rebellion all arms and munitions Of war not
required for immediate use by that portion Of
the army on duty there; and that hereafter no
arms nor military stores not needed for imme-
diate use shall be stored in any State lately in
rebellion until such State shall have been re-
cOgnized by Congress as having resumed its
place in the Union.
The resolution was adopted with a single
nay.
Gen. Straight, it will aforementioned, escaped
from Libby Prison, and very naturally has a
grudgo against his captors. Perhaps if his
sword had been as keen as his tongue, he would
not have been a prisoner. In the new war
which the Radicals are laboring to bring on he
doubtless thinks it will be much safer to fight
unarmed rebels than those he once encountered
with glittering blades.
By all means discard that clause in the Con-
stitution which declares the right Of the people
to bear arms. Somebody might be hurt
Streight has no taste for straight out fight
