"Brick" Pomeroy, in late number Of
his paper let's fly this bolt at the Reconstrue-
ton Committee
An exchange says that another amend
ment to the Constitution has been proposed
by one of the Committee on Reconstruction
and will be presented to the attention of
Congress. i will be read nearly as follows:
ART. CXXXlV.-That no State shall be
admitted to representation in Congress un-
til, by provision embodied in its fundamen-
tai law, it pledges its citizens never to claim
restoration of any pianos, watches, finger
rings spoons, silk dresses, books, pictures,
sideboards, wines, liquors, earrings and
other portable property, which may, at any
time, under pressure of military necessity,
have been transferred, shipped, removed,
or carried away from their residence, Gel
lars, out. houses, grounds or stables, and
delivered into the care and keeping of 10y
al citizens Of New England and other loyal
section of the North, and all persons claim
ing or asserting title to any such portable
property SO removed, shall be excluded from
the basis Of representation, and be forever
disqualified from holding any Office OF trust
or profit under State or Government.
Ben. Butler and his pretty imitators in.
dorse this amendment, and claim that it
will materially aid in crushing out disaffec-
tlon al the South, and secure the rights to
property, described above, now held by
those who found and confscated it, and
thereby aided in putting down the rebell-
ion. Several Northern clergymen, in pos
Sc ssion Of valuable libraries of books con-
quered from the enemy also favor the
amendment, and solemnly declare that it is
a necessary measure to secure the contin-
ued success Of the God and morality party,
and no one will oppose it but Northern
copperheads, Southern traitors and the
supporters of that bad man, Andrew John
son,
