ladies hair, which succeeds thai
cruel one called rats and mice. y
We saw cruel because it is really what
we mean. For instance, the greatest

This IS only one of the many modes;

Union. They are thus stated by that
journal
The amendment 10 the Constitution
apportioning representatives according
to the number Of voters instead OF the
population, and designed to promote an
extension Of the elective franchise to the
freedmen.
2. The Freedmen's Bureau bill, de-
signed TO afford that temporary protec-
ton to person and property Of the freed
men, which Is necessary by reason OF
the fact that they are deprived of the
ballot, Of the right to sit on juries, to
/ hold Office, to bear arms.
3. The Civil Rights bill, depriving
any State Of the power to pass laws
/ whereby colored persons shall have any
less or fewer rights of person or proper
", or be subject to any other or severeI
penalties for offences than white per
sons.
5. Senator Henderson's amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
making suffrage uniform, irrespective Of
color, and universal
6. Senator Stewards resolution pre-
scribing universal suffrage as condi

msnting on the disbanding Of negro
troops and the opposition of the Radical
press to that measure, says:
The only use we have for troops Of
and kind at present, Is TO guard the
Western frontier against Indian depre-
dations. aud TO preserve domestic tran
guilty in the South. So far as the lat
ter use Is concerned, We wouic prefer
to see not only negro troops, but all troops
disbanded, reserving only sufficient TO
completely man the Southern forts. The
Southern militia il the best safeguard
against internal disorder IN that section,
as the Northern MALTA serves the same
end here. If there are domestic dlstur-
Dances in the South, it Is the Southern
people who must chiefly suffer and who
have therefore the chief interest IN their
suppression. Why should the North be
taxed TO preserve domestic tranquility IN
the South, any more than the South to
preserve tranquility in the North T!
But conceding that, for precautionary
reasons, it may be needful TO keep some
troops in the South, it is equally the
dictate of prudence and of economy that
white troops shall be used, and not
black. The reason is plain. The OBJ
| jeet of any troops is to put down possible
resistance, and the presence Of black
troops tends to excite the very resist
ance they are kept to quell- The South
detests negro troops. They unpleas-
antly remind it of what it is for the in
terest of both sections should be speedily

soldiers tend to keep up irritation and
bitterness, that the amiable Radicals in.

TIE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
TIL. legal effects of the Presidents re-
cent proclamation, declaring the war at
an end, are much wider and more rami-
fed than would at first sight be supposed.
There are several acts of Congress that
have their existence dependent upon the
duration OF the war The joint resolu-
ton Of Congress, approved February s,
1865. excluded eleven States from par
ticipation in Presidential elections, be-
GAUGE they had been declared in insur-
recti0n. The act Of March 3, 1865, Gre
ating the Freedmen's Bureau, expires by
it, own enactment one year after the end
of the rebellion An act of March 3,
1863. authorized the President, during
the present rebellion, whenever in his
Judgment the public safety might re-
quire il, TO suspend the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus" and President
Lincoln's proclamation of Sept Is, 1858
suspending the writ, declared that the
suspension should continue throughout
the duration Of such rebellion, or until
/ this proclamation shall, by subsequent
one to be issued by the President Of the
United States, be modified OF revoked.
/ The recent proclamation of President
johnson also changes the army ana
navy from war to a peace footing. re
ducing officers pay for Communication, fol
rations, forage and horses, to which
those of high grades in the army are en-
titled In addition TO the laws men
toned above, there are quite a numbe
of other acts, such as those relating t
the militia, the National forces, drafting
&c. which have reference only to tht
continuance of the war.-Philadelphij

CONSUMPTION was about to take place, he
procured three trusty freedmen, and re-
paired to a portion of the forest seldom
visited by man, where they worked lusti-
ly for three days, excavating hole OF

crete the four, tfor report said they We're
conscripting negroes also, until the 'hur-
rying to and fro" and clashing of arms
should subside. They finished the pro-
posed den, and it was perfect in all its
main and minor details, and Spriggins
went forth on scout in search of infor-
nation as to the whereabouts of the con-
script officer. With anxious heart he
accosted an unsoldierly looking horse
