From the Maohias Republican. june n


Thanks to the persistent loyalty OF Con-
gress, we have been spared the pain of seeing
the South permitted to rule us politically
again. as soon as she laid down her murderous
weapons OF war. We are glad to perceive so
good feeling manifested in Congress; that
while it will not abate one jot of the original
programme, for the preservation of the coun-
tly from rebel rude, it is yet anxious to fix up
on some plan which will accomplish the end.
and ensure reasonable amount of harmony
between the different departments of the GOV.
ernment. We believe Congress to deserve
high commendation for the patience and per-
sistence with which it has adhered to its orig
inal plan of bringing forward Something
which the people will approve. Nothing Is
clearer than the fact that the great body of
the people ask for and demand guarantees
from the South for their good behavior, which
are not required by the President in his plan
or policy. ~

These amendments do not secure and guar
antee to the negroes the right of suffrage, and
for that reason they are not satisfactory to
Wendell Phillips, and others not so extreme
as he may not be satisfied with them. 1t
should be taken into consideration by all
members Of the Union party, that our repre-
sentatives in Congress have been trying for
months to take some steps forward in the Sc
curing OF civil aud political rights to tho ne
groes, that they have been thwarted in their
efforts by those whom they counted as their
friends and co-Operators, and that this series
OF amendments is the nearest to what they de-
sire that they are able to carry through Con-
gress and present to the people with any hope
of its endorsement by three-fourths of the
States 1t is plain that they must take this
or nothing. The time for compelling negro
suffrage in the South was at the close OF the
war, when the first steps were taken to recon-
struct the State governments on loyal basis,
but that opportunity having passed will never
return, and another method must be taken to
bring about the same result. Mr.. Phillips ad-
vises to ask nothing and take nothing but ne
gro suffrage, even if the consequences be the
defeat OF the Union party, which il would in
eyitably be. We think it better to plant our
flag as far in the advance as we can, but no
farther than we are able to support it.

[From the Hancock, Jo,srnaz. June 1a.l


In no country or age have mankind been en-
gagged in a greater work than has been this of
saving our republic in the storm of war, and,
now that the day of battles has passed, of es-
tablishing her institutions on basis OF justice
and humanity that shall be enduring We
need not wonder that our best men, represen-
tatives, senators, cabinet-ministers have gone
through many weary nights and days seeking
to find a solution of the great problem of a
crushed rebellion, yet by no means restored
Union.
But at last series of measures have been
reported by the Reconstruction Committee
which apparently meet with approval by Con-
gess, and we are glad to see that the signs
point to an adjustment Of difficulties between
the President and Congress on something near
the basis of the Committees report.
Ii the President can see his way clear to
this, we have no doubt he will gladly welcome
the healing of the seeming break between him
and his party. Col. Forney, who has lately rep
resented the most ultra oppositionto to Mr.. john
son, now says that there is good reason to hope
that the amendments to the Constitution be-
fore the Senate will substantially satisfy the
President, and that the rupture that has been
threatened will be averted. The fact that
Democratic papers have lately grown cold in
their praises OF the President, shows that they
fear this. -
That which our enemies fear we should
hope for.

The Fenian prisoners in the hands of the
Canadians will not be tried until the present
excitement has subsided. Orders have been
issued to recall the troops from the border, ex
cept those facing Malone. They will receive
grand ovation on their return.
All the Fenian officers at Malone have re-
fused bail, and are awaiting trial, which will
take place at Canandaigua on the 10Th inst.
Large numbers of the Fenian army arrived
here to-day and were furnished transportation
home from the Fenian headquarters.

not to take up arms again to invade Canada.

THE LEGIsLATURE.-We understand that
John II. Flagg, Esq, of Bennington, the ac-
complished Clerk of our House OF Represents
tives for two years past, will be candidate for
reelection this fall and he will undoubted.y
receive a unanimous vote. His eminent fitness
for the place is acknowledged by all who are
acquainted with him, or with the thoroughness
and ability he has brought to the discharge OF
the duties of the office.
Henry Clark, Esq the well known Secre-
tary of the Senate, will, no doubt, be re elect
ed without opposition. He is familiar with
the duties of the place, courteous, faithful, and
abundantly competent, just such an officer a'
the Senate, having once secured, will be likely
to retain.
or course, Hon. John w. Stewart of Md.
dlebury will be reelected Speaker Of the
House, and with Lieut.. Gov. Gardner to pre-
side in the Senate, and Mr.. Flagg and Mr.
Clark to keep the records, the business of legis
lation, SO far as the administration of par!ia
mentary law and the faithful performance 0
offic duties are concerned, will run with tn.
least amount of friction.

JoHNsoN.-The City Council of Baltimore
refused to take part in a reception of Presi-
dent johnson on his return through that
city. At Pittsburgh, Penn, the multitude
declined to hear Mr.. johnson, interrupting
him so that he was unable to speak At
Indianapolis he was aleo unable to speak in
the evening owing to the interruptions, and
there was g rlotous demonstration In which
one person was killed and several wounded.
In the morning, however, before leaving
Indianapolis, be repeated his usual speech.
At St. Louis he made a characteristic her-
angue, only more ribald in style and reckless
in statement than usual, in which he charged
Congress with the responsibility of the rebel
riot in New Orleans, and suggested that
Stevens and Phillips ought to be hung
Having now swung round the circle and
got back to Washington, he will probably sub
side for awhile, as those who really care any
thing for him or the success of his bread-and-
butter party, will be very careful not to give
him an excuse for making any more speeche:
at present. The expense of his electioneering
tour will probably be paid out of the secret
service fund.

LOYAL SoLDIER REnovED.-The Washington
correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says
shat it seems to be the intention of the Presi-
dent to arrange the organization of the regular
army even, in tho interest of his policy. A
few days ago. upon the earnest recommended
tions of Gems. Thomas, Sherman and Grant,
MIR. johnson appointed Brigadier- General
Charles Howard. major in one of the new
cavalry regiments, and the appointment was
duly announced. Brigadier-Generald Howard
enlisted as private, and serviog with dis
tinction throughout the war, rose to his pres
emit grade. He has been three times severely
wounded, and bis whole record is brilliant
one. A certain Captain Merriam of . Maine
regiment, entirely unknown q the War Of
FIVE, except that his name is borne on its rolls,
wrote letter to Mr.. johnson, saying that he
heartily endorsed his policy, and asking for
Gen. Howard's place. The president at onoe
wrote on the note, d" Let Capt. Merriam be
appointed in place of Gen. Howard, >" and tho
General was thus summarily removed. Many
of Mr.. Johnsons own friends are indignant
ct this outrage.
