New York Post on the Situation.

NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-The Eoening
Post says editorially the Independent
takes occasion TO lecture the National
Republican Convention for promising
admission to representation to the South
ern States on condition that the amend
ment is adopted. 1t remarks that Con
gress has not pledged itself to any such
bargain, and thus shows that the amend
ment is not what the Tribune declared
congressional plan of reconstruction.
The Independent goes further and de-
clares that Congress will not admit the
Southern States to representation even
if they adept the amendment Like Mr..
Stevens, it threatens new conditions.
We believe, however, that both the hide
pendent and Mr.. Stevens will be dsap-
pointed il the Southern States should
wisely adopt the amendment II this is
done, we have no doubt whatever that
the country will inperatively demand Of
Congress the immediate admission of the
Southern representatives; and we do
not think Congress will refuse this de-
mand.

An Ancient Mastadon.

Last month while some workman were
digging in a gravel bank, at the upper
end Of the town of Milford, Clermont
county, Ohio, they struck bony sub
stance, which being uncovered, revealed
an ivory tusk about eight feet in length,
and in diameter eleven inches at the
large end, and tapering to four or five
inches at the other. During the night a
rain fell, and by morning large part of
the tusk fell to pieces or into the consis
tency Of lime or chalk. From the APP
pearance of the place where it laid, the
imprint in the sand rendered it evident
that it must have been originally about
eleven feet in length. This, it is believed,
is the largest specimen ever found in
this vicinity, of the remains of race of
animals long since extinct

United States Arms Withdrawn from tho

ST. LOUIS, Sept 2S.-A lot of muskets
were transferred this morning from the
State storehouse, under the direction Of
Adjutant General Simpson, to the Uni
ted States arsenal. The wagons we're
guarded by squad of police. No dem
onstration was made to capture them.
1t is stated the arms belonged to tho
United States Government, but had been
loaned to the State to arm the militia,
during the war; and that President john
son, fearing that Governor Fletcher
would arm the militia, and use them to
enforce the registry, General Hancock
was instructed to demand their return
He did so, and sent wagons to remove
them. There were not arms enough
removed to arm two regiments, so the
loss to the State is not so serious.
