THE REPRESENTATION Observation-Disclosures GRANT
TO BE II TRAINING TO& TIE PREsIDENCy-A NEW
RADICAL JOURNAL, &c.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
What / tel"glaphod last evening" to the effect
that the Radicals were throwing off DISCUSSES rs
to hostility to the President was exhibited in full
force by Mr.. 5toycus to-day. The resolution for
amending the Constitution which passed tho
House j. vague. Certainly not two-thirds of the
States viii adopt it for rs the Executive as stated
III the Proclamation from the State Department,
recognized Southern States as now unrcprescntcd
in the Union, they must be considered here
after. Resides the resolutions implies that States
may deny certain or color the right of SUI
irage, whereas ii has been assumed bv the Radi-
Gals that Congress had the right to control that
matter under the portion Of the Constitution
which provides for q republican form Of govern
tlcnt IN States.
Tt Will be seen that, by the proposed Constitu-
tonal amendment that if all negroes are not
allowed to vote, none Of that race snail be counted
for representation Thus, a limited suffrage,
based on property, or intelligence, military
iservice, will not count. States must take the
entire black or be prescribed.
Politicians freel suggest, as the reasons Of Gen.
Grants proposed visit to Europe, the desire OF
his friends to have him away from the political
vortex during the agitation Of political issues
within the next year or two. At the end OF that
term he would be brought out-for the Presidency
with clean record. The whole Radical crew viii
be glad to have him away from here.
rumOr prevails that a reliable Radical organ
ono that IS not one thing to-day and another
to-mOrrOw-ls to be established here as q first
class morning journal.
[ hear from an intelligent and substantial Re
publican source, that the Radical members of Con.
gress are saying that division on the main ques-
ton has taken place in the Cabinet. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Seward, Mr.. McCullOch ana Mr.. Welles
are for reconstruction, and stand for the President
Mr.. Stevens would hardly have made his dcnun-
clatory speech to-day unless wide and deep gulf
was between the President and the Radical ascen-
dancy III Congress.
THE PRESIDENTS FORTHCOMING PEACE PROCLAIM
TION-THE RADICALS AND THE PREsIDENT-GEN.
GRANTS VISIT TO EUROPE.
WASHINGTON January 30.--The day is not far
distant when the President will issue q proclama-
ton that peace exists throughout the country and
that all the States and the territories are in loyal
relations to the general government
The leading editorial of the Chronicle this morn
ing is generally regarded among keen politicians
slight indication, like astruggirg of light through
clouds and darkness yet enough to the closely OBJ
servant. Indeed, such are now the generally be-
ieved statements, to the Presidents view, that
it is transparent hypocrisy and utter faIsehood for
the Radicals to do otherwise to oppose him. While
the leading Radicals simulate confidence in this
cause, it is known that their force is demoraliZed
If the dictatiOn Of the Jacobinicia committee Un-
on reconstruction does not entirely succeed now,
how will it be when the voices of the discontinued
tax payers shall thunder in their ears
1t is stated that General Grant will go to Europe
under Government auspicies. A Government ship
and officers for the same are suggested III official
quarters, in connection with this new demonstra-
ton of our leading general. Perhaps General
Sherman will be his successor dd iatereno in COM
mand OF the army.
