Report of the Minority Of the Com
InftIee.

Ths minority Of the Committee Of Fiji
teen consisting Of REvERDV JOHNSON, Sen
ator, and Representatives ORDER of Ken
lucky, and ROGERS Of New Jersey, a day or
two since submitted their report upon the
matters entrusted to the Committee.
We presume it is from the pen Of that
profound constitutional lawyer REvERDY
JOHNSON, and certainly is an able and ex-
haustive review and exposure Of the falla-
cies of the Majority Report published week
or two ago. The argument against the Rad
ical position is 50 plain, and its leading
points have been 50 often presented within
the last six months that we have not deemed
it necessary to reproduce it as given in this
document, but give only an extract bearing
most directly upon the question Of readmis-

WHAT Is WANTED AT THE SoUTH.-Why
should the Southern States be so clamorous
for readmission into the Union? VIII the
mere fact of their having a representation in
Congress couduce any TO their present tenn
poral welfare? Recuperation is now what
they require above everything else. Instead
of hanging about the halls Of Congress for
admittance, and becoming discontinued be
cause the doors are not forthwith thrown
open to them. they should rather concentrate
all their energies and labor upon the task of
restoring its former prosperity to their Sec
ton. Long years at the shortest will be re-
quired to obliterate the marks Of desoloton
left all over the ''Sunny South by the iron
heel of war. From the Potomac TO the Gulf
and the Mississippi to the coast, the 'Confed-
eracy" has presented q wild scene of ruin
and desolation. Now, If our Southern
brethren are sagacious and fore seeing they
will give themselves wholly to the work of
recnperation leaving the question of recon
strucnon 10 take care Of itself for the pres
ent Food and raiment are what are now
required through the South.-N. I. Com

The Pirate SeDnee-.HOW he
was Taken - WAshfngtOm.
The WasAietd Adr * Dpce1hkf IA
says:
Raphael Sehmss; late commander Of the
Alabama, arrived here in the 1920 New York
train, last night in charge of Lieutepspt W.
Jones, United States Marines, and Was at
once taken to the Navy Yard, where ne WIS
placed temporarily in q room hastily lifted up
in the dispensary building, over which guard
was placed. He will, however, be moved
from his present quarters to-day to more com
modious quarters adjoining the chapel, now
being fitted up for him. This chapel has here
totore been used for court martial purposes,
and may serve for the trial of Semmes.s
He was arrested at his place, Spring Hili,
about four miles from Mobile, An on the
evening Of the 10th inst, about o clock, ~
Lieutenant French and the sergeants above
named, on an order from the Navy Depart.
ment, as he was sitting quietly in his parlor
reading paper. Lieutenant French, on en-
terng the house. at once informed him of the
object of his visit, at which Semmes expressed
great astonishment,s and claimed that he had
been paroled, and that this arrest was in vio-
lation of the parole.
His daughters were very bitter in their aex-
pressons as to the Yankees, and excused
themselves for defective domestic arrange
ments by saying that the Yankees had stolen
all their negroes. One of the daughters said
that il was dirty Yankee trick TO arrest her
father after he had been. paroled. One of the
marines stood guard at the residence of
Semmes during their stay. and the daugh.
tiers tauntingly remarked that in old times
they had niggers TO stand at the door, but
now they had the internal Yankees.
Lieutenant French made the circumstances
attending the arrest as pleasant as possible
and informed his prisoner that he would allow
him until twelve o. clock the following day to
arrange matters with his family, which privi-
lege he accepted, and at noon on the 18th he
announced himself as ready (haying taken
leave of his wife aud three daughters) and the
party at once proceeded to Mobile, where they
took the steamer Louisa for New Orleans.
At the latter place they were Obliged to wait
four DAYS to take the steamer Costa Riea for
New York, where they arrived night before
last. and yesterday morning took the cars for
Washington, arriving here last evening and
turning over the prisoner TO the officers
at the navy yard.
On the passage he was quite cheerful. and
talked freely about his arrest and OF his con-
duct during the war, and the prospects of an
early trial, expressing himself willing to stand
the trial and arguing against the legality of
his arrest.
Semmes has the same look of audacity for
which he was noted in his younger days here.

He is now about fifty years of age, and is

slender build, and is dressed in pair of gray

THE POWER OF CIPHERs.

The enlightened man may have clear
understanding of thousands and even mil
lions; but much beyond that he can form no
distinct idea. A simple, example, and one
easily solved, will illustate the observation.
1t all the vast bodies of water that A@cr
nearly three-fouths of the globe we're
emptied into one grand reservoir, the
whole number of drops could de written by
two words, "eighteeu seo,illions," and ex-
pressed in figures by snnexing twenty. four
ciphers to the number eighteen{ 8, ,O00,o0o,-
100000, 1000, ,ooo.ooo,ooo.) Man might as
we'll attempt to explore the bounds of eter-
nifty as to form any rational idea of the
units embodied in the expression above;
for although the aggregate Of drops is TO-
dicated by figures in the space Of only one
inch and half in ordinary print yet, if
each particular drop were noted by sep
arate stoke like the figure l, it would form
line Of msrks sufficiently long to wind
rouud the sun six thousand billions Of
timesl
Now, observe, if you please, the marvel
Gus power or value which the cipbers,
insignificant by themselves, give the signifi
cant figures ls. The young reader will lie
surprised to learn that the use OF the cipher
to determine the value Of any particular
figure, which is now praetieed by every
eehoolboy, was unknown TO the ancients.
Therefore, among the Greeks and Romans
and other natl Of Antiquity a.itbmetical
operations were xceedipgly tedious and
difficult. They b. 1 to reckon with peb-
lee, smells, or beads, used ~ counters, to
transact sbe ordinary business Of life.

The EUROPEAN WAR.-The Nav
York Post Gays Austria, 1t seems; a. tbe
last moment, refuses to oome into the con.
ferencc,iwas proposed chiefly on her account:
except on condition that she shall not Ioss
territory. This is as though a country gent.
leman should refuse to enter mock auc-
ton chop except on condition that bs
should not have his pockets picked.
Prussia, Italy and France, all expect ii
gain something; Austria alone was to pivs
up good deal. England stood BY. like a
sober-sided policeman, no. 80 much caring
who was robbed as anxious ,ha, every,b;no
should be decently ana quietly done.
Austria refuses to join tie conference-.o
says Napoleon. He has ihgeuiously brouoh,
affairs to a dead lock, and now b..
wipes his eyes and cries, "Oh, what mad.
ness, on, what PEI versity!" And truly we
think Prussia and Austria mad and perte,ss,
for they should see that tue only one likely
to gain by their quarrel is Napoleon.
War seems now inevitable; the beginning
is near; the end. considering the various
forces and motives at work, openly and
secretly, he would be shrewd man WIN
could foresee.
