but that the evacuation of Mexico by the
French will proceed in good faith.
The Republican to-day, evidently on
authority, denies that the President
changed his message after it was origin
ally written. II never contained the pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution.
There has been considerable difficulty
between the civil authorities in Texas
and the military forces under Gen. Sher-
idan. The President, to-day, took the
matter under advisement. kf
The Supreme Court to-day omitted to
administer the test oath to new members
of the bar and simply required an oath
to support the Constitution. This fact
affords belief that the Court has decided
that the test oath is unconstitutional.
Eight of the Southern Representatives

are so regarded by many members of the
House. If nothing but the main facts of
the riot were wanted they could have
been obtained from Gen. Banks re-
ports, in which the evidence of witnesses
on both sides are given.

RADICAL QUARREL.

A Washington telegram says: After

a move will be made in the caucus to
bring up the question of electing a new
Vice President in place of Mr.. FOSTER.
1t will be opposed by several Republ.-
can Senators, who are disinclined to
making any change at present. The
friends of Senator WADE, however, are
determined to push the matter vigor-
ously, and secure his election at once,
SO as to guard against accident. 1t is
doubtful whether anything can be done
now in the matter. 1t is said to be the
intention to have an election before the

WAR DEBT IN NEW YORK.

State Controller HILLHousE has ad
dressed letter to Senator MORGAN, IN
tended as an appeal to Congress to ap-
propriate the revenue from taxation to
provide for payments of the State war
debt. He points out that if the States
had not voluntarily assumed the burdens
arising from the raising of troops they
would have fallen on the General Gov
ernment; that the latter should not
weaken the power of the former by under
tax; and that the tax-paying ability of
the nation is seriously effected by heavy
Indebtedness on the part of States. The
Controller proposes that Congress re-
linquish the income tax TO the States, the
amount collected within each State to be
appropriated to the payment Of its own
war debt.

a long letter on the Mexican imbroglio,
in which he proposes a different policy

take no notice Of the letter, and is not
disposed to furnish it for publication.

The Supreme Court has killed one of
the Radical test oaths-that which relates
to attorneys. A Washington dispatch of
the 9TH says: The Supreme Court to-
day agreed upon their decision upon the
constitutionality of the test oath ques
ton, which came up on cases presented
in regard to the exaction of the oath for
attorneys, of which there were several
under consideration. The Court decided
by FIVE to four against the constitution

GREELEY AND PERRY.
Negro Suffrage Greeley to Go
Perry Thereon.

AUGUSTA, GA, November 6.-Horace
Greeley has written letter to Governor
Perry, in which he says the true basis OF
a settlement of our national difficulties
is universal amnesty with impartial suf-
frage. He would have all disabilities on
account of rebellion or color totally sbol-
ished, and trusts that such a settlement
will be fixed upon in Washington this
winter.
In response, Governor Perry says the
Southern people will never consent to
impartial suffrage, as it would degrade
the right of suffrage, and demoralize the
Government and society to allow blacks
to vote. The Governor thinks compro-
mise to enfranchise negroes who could
read and write, and had property quail
6cations, without DISTINGUISHING white
persons, might with reason and propriety
be acceded to by the Southern States

nna OF Rarnum,a storiAs.

Among other stories told by Barnum
about himself, in lecture out West, is
the following:
He advertised special attractions for
the Irish on St Patrick's Day, and the
museum was jammed with the Biddies
and their children. They were so well
pleased that he found it advisable to
point out to them the way of exit, so that
others might find room to enter. The
reply was, Faith and I'm not going
out we came to spend the day wi ye."
The wit of the Snowman was again
tried but he met the emergency by hav-
ing sign painted, in large letters,
"Egress," which he fastened over the
door leading through the bar to Ann
street. The trap caught them. "Egregs !
sure an that S the animal we haven't seen
at all, at all !" and such a current of Bid
dies started in that direction, that none
could return, and the museum was soon
relieved Of one set of visitors, to be
speedily filed with another.

1t is alleged that JoHN II. SuRRATT
stated in Italy that the plot to assassin
ate LINCOLN originated in Richmond, and
that Mr. DAVIS was acquainted with it.
We suspect that the pursuit and capture
of SuRRATT was meant more for DAVIS
than himself Turning States evidence
would be an easy thing, and at least one
witness be found to bolster up the charge
of completely in the assassination plot.
This circumstance may account for the
long delay in the DAVIS trial.

A RETROSPECT.

If the Radical party had admitted du-
ring the war what they now avow--that
the Southern States we're actually out of
the Union-every civilized government
would have recognized the Confederacy.
To deceive mankind, the pupose of the
war was declared to be the restoration
of the Union. The Southern States, It
was said, we're attempting that which
was unconstitutional, a separation Of
the States which were linked indissolu-
bly, by the letters of common organic
law. The world believed, and the Con-
federaey was allowed to fall to pieces.
But so soon as the submission of the
South was secured, another song was
heard, another bell was rung, another
bow was twanged. The whole Radical
party jumped up, clspped their hands,
and shamelessly shouted in the ear Of
the world that the South had placed her
self By the act of secession, or war, out
Of the Union. A mOnstrous fraud was
perpeirsted, and the nations now see H.
They are the dupes Of the most unprin-
cipled party that ever disgraced the

Just to merchants, just to the city, just to

nation that brick and mortar must, in

rents out of all proportion to the amount
Of business transacted now, or
to be transacted in the future. We
need not repeat the arguments
we used a few days since. They are
incontroyertible 1t is not the intrinsic
value of brick and mortar that has made
Memphis city. 1t is trade and the in
dustry of renters that have given it value.
The country has poured in its produc-
tions and created demand for business
houses. The landlord who produces
nothing, sits at his ease and watches
the tide flow into his Golfers. The mo-
ment he discovers demand for houses,
he screws up his rents. When business
is hourishing, this is all well enough
Business men can afford to come to his

should he screw up his rents when busi-

sense nor justice in it As business now

manded. They should not attempt so
great folly. Let them meet as they

CONSISTENCY.

The Radicals profess to sympathise
with the Irish struggle for liberty. The
Irish of the North who are struggling
for liberty in Ireland, voted with the
radicals to defeat President JoHNsoN's
policy, which favors liberty in the
South. And so it appears that the sent
iment that would liberate ireland, would
enslave the people of the South. This is
