The President has nog ordered the release

The urgent remonstrances of the British

of~action to appease the scare that has ia

The following proposition for amending
the Constitution is said to be under the
consideration of the Reconstruction Com.
mittee, and ROBERT DALE OwEN-a Mas
sachusetts Congressman-is its reputed
father.
Section one provides that on and after
the 4th of July 1876, there shall be no
discrimination in the United States on ac-
oount of color; but that all male citizens
of the age Of twenty.one years shall be- le-
gal voters at all elections, Federal and
State.
Section two provides that for the period
of ten years, from the 4th of July next,
representation in Congress and. Electoral
votes for President and Vice Presldentshall
be apportioned according to the number of
legal voters in the respective States, and
after that period by population, as at pres
ent
Section three declares that there shall be
no discrimination of civil rights from and
after the passage of this amendment, affirm
ing in effect the constisutionality Of the
civil rights bill. >.. ..=.
Section four provides that no. obligations
or liabilities incurred in aid of the rebellion,
or compensation for slaves emancipated by
military authority, shall be paid BY the Uni
ted States or any State.
To the foregoing is attached an enabling
act, which provides that when any one. of
the States late in insurrection shall have
ratified the foregoing amendments, and
changed their Constitutions and laws to
correspond Herewith, they shall be allowed
to participate in legislation, and their rep
resentatives be allowed to take their seats
in Congress without any other terms or
provisions.
While the leading Radicals in Congress
have not committed themselves to this pro
ject, it is favorably regarded and is receiv-
ing serious thought.

Help for the Poor of Georgia.

Gov. Jenkins, of Georgia, has issued the
following appeal for the suffering poor of
that State:
ga portion of the people Of Georgia, 10
districts overrun by both armies during the
late war, are suffering for lack of food, and,
unless speedily relieved, must suffer more
perhaps starve. Their more fortunate and
benevolent neighbors have done much for
them, but can do little more The evil
deuce of these facts is full and startling
The Legislature has appropriated money for
their relief, but the money is not in the
treasury. They have authorized the bor-
rowing of money upor most satisfactory Sc.
curity, but it will require time to have the
bonds and mortgages prepared and executed.
And while this time runs against the suf-
ferers, their sufferings will be terribly in.

but lack. the, means. In the name of pa.
triotsm and humanity appeal to you to

on loan for ninety or one hundred and twen-
ty days, or six months, or FIVE, or thirty
years, as you prefer, with seven per cent.
interest. You will do we'll, and the hungry
will do better.
All editors friendly to the object will
please give the above few insertions, and

This is but rehash of the programme

Bolts proposed to impeach him, and
while the articles of impeachment were
under consideration, to have the House
adopt "a resolution declaring the Press
idents legal inability to declare the du-
ties and powers of his office, while his
trial was pending in the Senate" This
would have made Mr.. Mangum, their
President pro teBl of the Senate, Presi-
dent pro tenn. of the United States, and
he would have signed the Bank Bill,
the Tariff Bill and all other bills to
which Mr.. Tyler objected on eonstitu-
tional grounds.
Now, it is said that while the Presi-
dent is to be declared legally incapable
of exercising his functions while under
impeachment, the Cabinet are to 'run

unblushingly assumed the Premiership

Gov. Foote on Chief Justice chase,

Gov cote on Chief Justice Chase,
It will fall strangely on some ears in
these latter days to be told that only
seven years ago Chief Justice Chase
was an earnest stickler for the indepen-
dence and sovereignty of the States
and as ready to 60 TO the most extreme
lengths IN support of it as ever John G,
Calhoun was. Yet such is the remark
able fact as vOuched for by Hon. Henry
S. Foote, in his "War Of the Rebellion.
he has occasion to refer to the memo
rable resculng occurrence which took
place in 1890 in the State OF Ohio, OF
which Mr. Chase was then Governor.
An escaped slave was arrested, but
forcibly released by mob, and the
csse was brought before the Supreme
Court OF that Commonwealth, in order
to test the important question of the
validity of the Fugitive Slave Law. II
wss well known that Gov. Chase wss
exerting himself strenuously to pro
cure decision against its constitution

as exceedingly doubtful in what man
ner the question would be decided. IL

the more so As Governor Chase had an
nouBced his determination TO back up
the action OF the Ohio Supreme Court
by arms against the whole power of the
General GOvernmentshould the Judges
declare the law 10 be nullity. Happi-
ly for the peace Of the country, the de-
oisiOu OF the Court was such as to up
hold the law, and Gov. Chase was thus
saved from becoming q nulli6er and
secessionist, and leader in what he
now pronounces rebellion and treason {
Gov Foote was iOurneying through
the State Of Ohio 1T the time, and he
personally pledges himself for the
truth Of the above Pieks.
