New DREss.-We gave notice at the close of
the old year, that we expected to give the TEL
EGRApH new dress, and to put it ON an equality,
at least, in the matter Of comeliness, and per-
hapS Of size, with our older, and, in some re-
spects, more favored contemporaries. Though
the determination was reached the way was
not without some impediments, and more delay
than was expected, or desirable, has followed
We have now to inform our readers, all things
are ready to carry out our much cherished plan.
Some OF our friends, appreciating the course OF
the IHLEGRAPH, and sympathsing with US in the
struggles and prosecutions that have been
brayed IN carrying on the work of political and
moral reformation, and in giving our locality a
truer position, and more hopeful and salisfac-
tory future, conceived the idea of little pecu.
mary surprise, and have put into our hands, a
check for sum little short of $3.50, which we
are happy to acknowledge in the spirit and
light in which the testimonial is offered. We
are free to admit that there have been times
when We felt that the sympathies Of our friends
and co-laborers, were not made sufficiently
palpable and our work was made more formid-
able by the encouragement that our opponents
drew from such discovery. A feeling that we
were not fully sustained, whether real or imag-
mary, was not productive of pleasure or com
placency, This recognition, however, goes
very far to remove that apprehension, and af.
tords the assurance that whatever the measure
OF influence exerted, and the persecution and
opposition endured, they have been recognized
and kindly appreciated. AS testimonial o.
this nature, il is of course of much value, and
the source Of pleasure and gratitude. We arr

The defeat of the Constitutional
amendment in the Senate opens a wide
door for new plans for settling the great
national problem. Mr.. Sumner has a
new plan to offer and it is said one is
about to be presented in the form OF a
constitutional amendment, basing repre-
sentatlon on actual voters, which, it is
believed, the President will cordially APP
prove. The N. Y. Tribune learns that a
plan is about to come from the loyal
men of the South, which is destined to
meet with great favor as a measure OF
reconstruction.
There is evidently n much better feel
ing existing at Washington, than there
has been of late. Men are less dogmat-
ical, less disposed to denounce men for
differences of opinion on non essential
points, and all seem more than ever dis
posed to seek the public interest, rather
than strive to promote the schemes Of
political theorists.

in the mind of its commander, no
