ident also suggested, would remove from
Congress all issues III reference toythe politi-
cal equality of the races, 1t would leave
the States to determine absolutely the quail
iications of their own voters with regard to
color. and thus the number of representa-
tives to which they wenld be entitled in
Congress would depend upon the number
upon which they conferred the right of suf-
frage. The President, in this connection,
expressed the opinion that the agitation of
the negro FRANCHISE question in the District
| of Columbia at this time was the mere en-
tering wedge to the-agitation- of the question
throughout the States, and was i'll timed,
uncalled for and calculated to do much
harm. He believed that it would engender
enmity and strife between two races and
lead to war between Tthem which-would
result in great injury to both, and the GER
tain determination of the negro population.

Washington says member ofCongress
from New York called at the War Depart
ment yesterday, to inquire into the cause of
the delay in announcing the names or the
parties to whom the award for the capture
Of the conspirators is due. Secretary Stan

already prepared a list of the successful
claimants and that the announcement
would he made early next week. Mr. Stan

go through the entire evidence in the case,

President johnson on Constitutional Anne nd
meutS-The Rewards for the Capture of the
Il Consultations

I WASHINGTON. Jane 2S.-The following is
! the substance of conversation which took
place to day between the President and a
distinguished Senator. The President said
he doubted the prOpriety at this time OF
making any further amendments to the
Constitution. Que great amendment had
already been made, by which slavery had
been forever abolished within the units of
the United States, and Nation ,uaran-
ty thus given that that institu = should
never again exist III the land. Propositions
to amend tue Constitution were becoming
as nurhtrousis preanlbIes and resolutions
at town meetings, called to consider the
most ordinary questions connected with the
administration of local affairs. All this, in
! his opinion, had tendency to diminish the
dignity and prestige attached to the Con
l,fitution of our country and to lessen the
respect and confidence of the people in their
great charter of freedom. If, however
amendments are to be made to the Consti-
tuition changing the basis of representation
aud taxation, he did not deem them at all
necessary. At the present time he knew
OF none better than simple proposition en-
braced in a few lines making in each State
the number of qualified voters the basis of
representation, and the value of property
/ the basis Of direct taxation. Such a propo-
sltion could be embraced in the following
terms: Representatives shall be appointed
among the several States which NAV be in
Guided within this Uuion according to the
number of qualified voters in each State.
Direct taxes shall I've apportioned among the
several States which may be included with
4 IN this Union, according to the value of all
taxable property in each State. An amend
ment of this kind, would in his opinion,
place the basis of representation and direct
taxation upon correct principals The quail
| fed voters were, for the most part. men
who were subject to draft and enlistment,
Sheu necessary'to repeI invasion, suppress
rebellion, and queIl domestic violence and
instruction. They risked their lives. and
shea their blood, and spent their all to up
hold the government and give protection,
security aud value to property 1t seemed
bnt just that property should compensate
for the benefits thus conferred by defraying
