''If the bounsies," says radical disunion
newspaper shset-msaning the extra 500
bounty to solders-"sre to be of the benefit
they were intended to be, they must be dis
tributed without such delays as have hereto-
fore characterized the operations of several
bureaus of the war department"
How the bounties are to be distributed
without delay when congress did not provide
necessary funds to pay them with, is not
readily psrcsptible to the vision of ordinary
mortals.
The only bounties whose payment the rad
ical congressman were careful to secure
"without delay" were those which they put
in their own pockets.

abiding to the resolutions and address adopt

-"If the south accepts this platform, for the
north to reject it would be such an act of fol-

of before"
The Richmond Enquirer says I'VE heartily
approve of the great and patriotic objects and
aims OF the convention, and they will receive
an undivided support at the south"

"And why should the soldiers vote for Lo-
gan ?" asked a returned soldier of radical,
the other day. as it because. at the begin
ming of the rebellion, he caused so many
men to go into the rebel service from south
ern Illinois, that they might shoot us union
soldiers?" The rad was dumbfounded, and
could only replY-"O, l didn't think of
that" The question was a poser. Just
think of Logan inducing men to 60 into the
rebel service, and then enlisting on the fed
eral side to kill them = Quincy Herald.

Tho stste Of Tennessee has ratified the
amendment 10 the Constitution Of The
United States proposed by the Thirty.
ninth Congress. No official notice OF such
ratitic alton has been received by the Ex-
ccutiyc or 6lcd In the Department OF State ;
ON the contrary, unofficial information
from most reliable sources induces the be-
lief that the amendment has not yet been
constitutionally sanctioned by the Legisla-
tire of Tennessee. The right of each
House. under the Constitution, to judge OF
the elections, returns, and qualifications OF
its own members Is undoubted, and my
approval or disapproval Of the resolution
could not in the slightest degree increase
or diminish the authority in this respcct
conferred upon the two branches OF Coh-
gress. ,
In conclusion, cannot too earnestly re-
neat nv recommendation for the admission
Of Tennessee and all other States to a fa'r
and equal participation In national legs
lation when they present themselves in the
persons of loyal Senators and Representa-
lives who can comply with oil the require
mcnts of the Constitution and the laws.
By this means harmony and RECOMMENDATION D
will be effected, the practical relations OF
all the States to the Federal Government
rc;stablished, and the work of restoration
inauguratcd upon the termination OF the
war successfully completed.

The Adjournment and Preparations
Against PODular Uprising.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Congress, in pre-
pairing for an adjournment next Monday,
has now in view several measures for the
maintenance of the Radical power against
any apprehended uprising of popular feel:
ing against them. They will pass the bill
providing for the admission of Nebraska,
as Radical State, into the Union, and
also pass the Colorado State bill over the
veto. Thus they will gain four Radical
votes in the Senate. Next, they will pro-
badly carry into effect the Stevens plan
for controlling the action of the President
during the interval before the next regular
meeting of Congress. One more measure
is requisite. The Senate must change its
presiding officer by electing Mr.. Wade in
stead of Mr.. Foster. Thus they will be
prepared for the conflict with the Presi-
dent and the grand convocation of the ma
ton soon to be held in Philadelphia.

MORE Coon NEWS FROM MARYLAND
John w. Forney says. "The aspect in
Maryland is by no means promising. In
saying this I desire to state fact and a
warning at the same time. Governor
Swami, chosen by Union mon, is following
the example of Andrew Johnson, and
preparing to betray his friends. 1t is not
doubted that, through the sinister infu.
ence of Montgomery Blair, he will appoint
commissioners under the registry law
who will enroll the names of returned
rebels in the different counties. All hopes
of different result are given up, and
now the tried and trusted patriots who
fattercd themselves that Maryland was
wholly secured to the Union are preparing
for desperate struggle in November.
elf the Unionists Of Maryland resist
the attempt of the returned rebels to
overawe and overwhelm them at the polls
then Andrew Johnson will be called upon
TO declare martial law-to intercede by
the army to give the rights of suffrage to
the enemies of the country, and to put
down the brave spirits who saved Maryland
from the fate of Virginia and South Caro-
lima"

Maryland Conservative Convention

Special dispatch to Forney's Chronicle
BALTIMORE, July 24.-Thc Convention
which meets here tomorrow promises to
bc rather stormy. The indications arc to-
night that it will be anything but happy
family. There are three or four different
factions, all anxious to manage the Con'
vcntion and divide the spoils. The city is
full of delegates. Many of them, especi,
ally from the country districts, being re,
turned rebels, are of course clamorous fol
the repeal of the hated registry laws. A
most determined effort will be made to
carry the State in the approaching fall
elections against the Unionists. In addi-
ton to the domestic Copperheads here,
there is an outside party, composed OF sncii
men as Governor Sharkey, Of Mississippi,
and Rogers, Of New Jersey, who, with
several others of the same stamp, came
over from Washington this afternoon. The
Blair faction are anxious to make the mis-
chievous Montgomery president Of the
Convention, but there will be some opposi-
ton to this from Swann's friends. All are
agreed in their support Of "my policy"
