Gen. CaSs.

The editor of the Lacrosse wisconsin
Democrat, who is now in Detroit, writes
as follows
General Cass is still alive, though his
family have gathered here in daily expec-
tation OF his decease The General is now
in his cighty-fourth year. He passes most
of his time in sleep, undisturbcd. At rare
intervals he wakens up sufficiently to ask
for some Of his old .tfieads, who arc sent
for, but on arriving, even within the hour,
he is generally asleep again. Ills disease
is softening Of the brain, from years of
mental labor in the service Of his country.
He has all the care, attention and nursing
It is possible to give. His family look
upon him with the greatest reverence and
affection, and pray that his last days on
earth may De far distant. At times he is
able to converse quite freely and nationally
with his family, but this is the exception,
not the rule.

Capitalization.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
a moderate republican paper, has the fol
lowing remarks on the Civil Rights bill
vetoed by the President, and passed over
the veto by Congress:
Whatever construction may be placed
upon the sections of the bill which bear
upon the functions of the States, it is evil
dent that the measure itself is a stride to-
VAR, Capitalization. and is, therefore, hos
tile to the .ririt and plan of our govern
ment. Against tn manifest tendency of
a majority of Congress, 18th wilfuI and
ignorant, the President sets hims,h like a
rock. Ills sturdy opposition must make
itself felt in the end, anI lie will succeed
in indoetrinatiLe the people with ideas by
no means unfamiliar to them, but which
have been covered up and partially oblit-
Grated by the hurricane of war"

FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHINGToN, April 22.-The Recon
struction Committee, yesterday, finally
agreed, it is understood, on substantially
the following important propositions as a
basis for restoration
|. That the constitution be so amended
that hereafter no State shall make any dis
elimination in its laws or constitution on
account of race or color.
3 After July I, 1876, negroes shall
have the right TO vote.
3. There shall be no representation be-
tween 1866 and 1876 for colorcd persons
not allowed to vote.
t. Southern States are to be represented
on these terms and conditions, on their
representatives taking the test oath pre-
scribcd by Congress.
The committee have further decided to
recommend that Congress pass law pros
vidng that no person who, having been a
member of the Both Congress or ofthe cab.
met, in the year 1860, did take part in the
late rebellion, shall be eligible to either
branch y. the national Legislature, until
after july I, 1876. The committee will
probably report the above proposition to
the House to morrow, it having been de-
terlined not to wait for Senator Fessen-
den's recovery 1t may be added IN this

submitted to the President, and that he

SAD ACCIDENT-Thc afternoon train
on the Chicago road met with serious ac
cident last Saturday afternoon. The train
had Just emerged from the bridge, and
was going very slow, preparatory to max
ing change ofengnes, when the forward
trucks Of the baggage car ran OIL the
track, towards the west, upsettiDg and
dragging with it two passenger ears, in
which were some eighty passengers. The
two first cars fell over on their sides, down
bank about seven feet high, whilst the
rear car rested upon its top after descend
ing the bank where it was eight or nine
feet high. The conductor. r. NJ. Bloom
field, was caught on the platform between
the two front cars. and 50 crushed that he
died in twenty minutes. Several of the
passengers were slightly and two seriously
injured. but none fatally.
Mr. Bloomfield, the unfortunate cOnduc-
tor. lived in Rockford, Illinois, where his
remains we're sent by the next train. 1t
appears he was engaged in disconnecting
the two cars. when lie slipped and fell be-
meath the rolling car.-LoganspoN jour

IL seems TO be the prevailing opinion
throughout the country that the United
States will be visited by cholera this suns
mer and ''cholera" is standing scnsa-
tional heading in the daily papers. This
opinion may prove we'll founded, and the
country may be visited by this
fearful epidemic, ard it well becomes our
citizens and our authorities to prepare for
any emergency By keeping the streets,
alleys, yards, out houses, barns, &c. in
as pure and clearly condition as posi-,
BILE. This will result IN positive injury
in case the cholera docs not make its APP
pearance, and in case it does it may save
many lives in our midst. We, however.
believe it silly and wrong to attempt to
excite the people BY i'll boding prophecies
and dismal arguments and demonstrations
showing TINT the United States must in.
evitably lie decimated during the rext six
months.

The following is from the Baltimore
Gazette. Of a late date:
OF the intention of the advocates of The
Civil Rights bill to claim for the blacks
social, if not political, equality, we have
already seen significant indications even
in this city. On Friday colorcd man
took his seat in one of the cars which Ply
between this city apd Towsontown, and
when compelled to leave it by the conduc
tor, he noted the number of the car and
went away. On the same night another
colored man insisted that he had a right
to pur chase ticket to any part OF the
Holiday Street theatre. And on Saturday
still another claimed that, a citizen. he
was entitled to demand to be served at
the bar of any public house.
This is good, decidedly. In our free
and equal country we propose to theorize
no longer. 1t has long been advocated by
the leaders of the present dominant party,
that all men were created equal, yet a
false delicacy has restrained them from
applying the theory to practice. Our age
is progressive, and the copperhead pref
udicc of color must succumb to the liberal
views of radical republicanism. Hereafter,
in churches, cars. hotels theatres, festivals,
public balls, celebrations, and all other
places, We must mingle in happy republi>

The Cholera.

New YORK, April 23.-There is noih-
ing later from the cholera ship Virginia.
The cabin passengers of the Virginia are
still on board that vessel They made an
urgent request to the health officer to be
allowed to remain, and no danger, whatev-
or, being anticipated from the ship, which
has been thoroughly yentilated, their
wishes were granted. The scenes on board
the steamship England, when the disease
reached its highest point Of mortality,
were said to have been ola terrible nature
Few on board could be found courageous
enough to bury the dead, and despite the
entreaties of the captain, they were allows
ell 10 remain for some time in the Storage,
after decomposition had set in. The FREE
quency of the deaths prevented any list of
the departed from being kept. Efforts are
now making to secure the receiving ship
North Carolina, now at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. for service as quarantine vessel.
The president of the Board of Health is
to confer with Mr. Curtis. the quarantine
commissioner, with view of having on ac>
count OF the progress of the disease, a list
of the sick and dead furnished daily 80

The Threat TO En,peaCia the Pres

We hear threats almost daily from the
radicals that President johnson will be i'm
peached BY the present loyal" Congress.

self the present Congress can remove Press
idcnt Johnson FROM his position. Eleven
States are net there to sit uTon the trial. -
This fact destroys the jurisdiction. 1t
would be like trying ease before seven
Jurors when the law requires twelve. The
verdict would not hold, and the President
would treat the whole affair with contempt
as it would deserve and as he would have
the right to do. Further STILL it would be
an attempt at revolution which the PRESS
dent, as the Executive officer of the gov
eminent, would have not only the ri "a, but
would be in duty bound to suppress. We
hope it may never come to this condition of
things. But it will not do to yield to these
wicked conspirators in Congress.
President johnson must maintain his
position at every hazard. The hcaes of
, the country and of civil liberty throughout
the world depend upon his frmncss. The
people must come up to his support, or We
shall have war and anarchy in less than
mad fury at the Federal Capital mus De
put down. or we shall have a conflict COM
pared with which all the the bloody scenes
of the past five years were mere mere
child's play. The democracy and all pat
riotic men from one end to the other of
the land must stand like wall of imper-
ishablc fire around the President, and hold
up his hands against the enemies of our
peace and Union who are wantonly as
sailing MIN.
The refusal or neglect to enforce the in
famous, unconstitutional bill just passed
over his veto by fraction of a Congress is
to be the pretext for unseating Mr.. John
son. 1t must not succeed. The Demos
cratic people have sworn ii shall not sue,
ceed Let them renew their VOWS day BY
day before the God who made them and
if the conflict comes, which may the good
Lord avert, then let us rally to the rescue,
and bury the traitorous conspirators in a
grave of infamy altogether.
