GREEDY ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
ANSWER TO DEMOCRATIC OBJ
JECTIoNs.-I. They assert that the Repub-
licans haze not proposed 1t in good faith. In
their view scores of such men as Will
liam Pitt Fessenden, Henry Wilson, John
Sherman, Lyman Trumbull, Timothy o.
Howe, &C., are tricksters and cheats, who
spent months in devising an amendment to
the Constitution which the South would
not accept, yet which the North would con-
slider fair, SO as lin their phrase) to "per-
petuate disunion." 'Aa..f
We do not deem this deserving an an.
swer. They who really suppose that emf.
nent statesmen are simply sharpers of O
low grade will continue in this faith, what
ever may be said to the contrary. They
are to be not convinced but pitied. But
those who mislcad them know better.
II. They assert that the States lately in
revolt haze no assurance that their repre-
seatatires ,riN be admitted to seats in Con-
greSs If they should ratity the amendment.
In certain sense that is true. We can
imagine . fashion Of ratification that would
not insure instant admission to Congress,
A State might ratify With palpable intent
not to have the amendment engraffed on
the Constitution, but in order to acquire
power to defeat it. Buff any State shall
in good faith ratify 1t, accepting 1t as q set
tlement Of the chief matters in dispute,
and doing its best to have it generally rati-
fled and 5acquiesced In, then we presume
that State will be treated exactly as Ten
nessee has already been. She ratified it,
and was fully represented in both houses
Of Congress within the ensuing week

ADDRESS OF THE CENTRAL JOHNSON CLUB

ADDRESS OF THE CENTRAL JOHNSON CLUB
OF ST. Louisville Central Johnson Club
Of St. Louis recently appointed a commit
tee to propose plan Of action for the peo-
pie of the State in reference to the ap-
preaching election, under the complicated
system of registration provided by the new
Constitution and the act of the LegiSla-
turc. The committee have accordingly
issued an address, in which they suggest
that every voter in the State take the oath
and ask to be registered. BY the registry
act, the officer is bound to put down the
name Of every man who applies, eithe1 on
the list of qualified or rejected voters. If
on the list of qualified voters, there is no
further difficulty. If as rejected voter,
then appeal is TO be made to the Board of
Registration to have the vote changed but
whether changed or not, in every case the
applicant is urged to attend the election
and offer his vote to the judges of election.
The indges Of election are bound toreceive
his ballot by the provisions of the Consti-
tuition.
Should the registration officer refuse to
record the name either as registered or
a rejected voter, he is advised, neverthe-
less, to offer to take the oath, and if then
refused, still to offer his vote before the
Judges of election. 1t is recommended
that in each election precinct OF the State,
where there are no Johnson clubs organ
lied, committee Of vigilance of from
three to five discreet citizens be appointed
to assist voters in these matters; and it is
recommended that whenever a voter is
satisfied that the registering officer has
willfully refused to register him as a
"qualiied voter" he should institute pro-
ccedings against him before justice of
the peace, and have him bound over to an
swer criminally for the offence. The COM
mittce add "These duties, both on the
part of the citizen and the committee,
should be discharged in a quiet and peace
able manner, offering violence. to no one,
but being preparedto resist it when offered
by others.;' And they close their address
as follows: eft is all important for us to
preserve list of all rejected voters, and Of
the persons for whom they offer to vote on
election day for if these votes thus re-
jected, when added to the registered votes
cast for our candidates, will give them a
majority, we shall claim that they are
elected, and contest the election accord
ingly and in many counties, especially
where the judges of the courts hold the
test oath to be unconstitutional, We will he
enabled to secure the sherifis and the
county officers. The members of the Lc-
gislaturc thus chosen by majority Of the
people of the counties in the State will be
the lawful Legislature of Missouri, espc-
cially if the Supreme Court of the United
States should, at its next session in Decem-
Der, announce its decision that the test oath
is invalid, rs we have no doubt it will.

was most fearful-one moment the man
had the deer down, but the deer, possessed
OF that dexterity and nimbleness peculiar
to them, sprang to his feet again and again,
using all his endeayors in twirling his an
tagonists around. Mr.. Nichols dare not
lose his hold, and the only hope to save
his life was by encouraging the dog, which
meanwhile hung on to the bucks throat

adversary, and after long and tiresome
struggle was finally successful, when he

AT the end of the combat, Mr.. Nicholas
clothing was entirely torn from him, and
he had nothing to cover the costume which

returning he brought his yenison home,

mass meeting, seeing General Knipe in the

from the audience, You are liar! l

was the voice of the gallant General Knipe,
and of course there was a commotion. A
rush was made by the roughs at knipe,
but he defed them and kept them off.
1t could be wished that VIC had just such
soldiers as General Knipe in all the post
Offices, and, indeed, all other offices filled
by Radical disunionists. Such appoint

the particulars d D hugo gwindie upon the
Govefurnent by y. j. LowenthaI, 8 claim
agent oF fhib cfsy5 who, With others, had
dcfrauded The Government Of from eto0,-
600 to 81 900, 900 through forged afidayits
Of discharged soldiers for back pay and
bounty. Up to this time the detectives
have failed to discover Lowenthal, though
on the sharp hunt for him throughout the
country. We may say that the amount Of
the fraud upon the Government above
stated Is believed to be q good deal exag-
gerated. u
> I.owenthal Is well known In this city,
where he has been doing business a. .
claim agent since the first part Of 1853 or
fall of 1862, and his reputation, especially
among foreigners, has been none of the
best. He is, we believe, Prussian by
birth, and was formerly professor of the
Hebrew faith, but few years since he pro-
fessed to embrace the doctrines Of
Christianity, and united himself to the
Trinity Episcopal Church, in this city.
He came out in the early part Of
the war with the Twenty-ninth New
York volunteers, Colonel Steinwehr, as
auartermaster, and subsequently, when
the regiment was assigned to Fremont's
command in West Virginia, he was made
the brigade quartermaster to the brigade
to which the regiment was attached. Here
he was put under arrest for misapplying
the Government property in his possession,
and was subsequently tried, convicted, and
sentenced to be drurnmed out of the CON-
mand. Accordingly, at Middletown, Vir-
ginia, he was Invested Of his shoulder
straps, buttons, &C., and drummed out, the
music on that occasion being the "Rogue's
March"
z A few weeks ago he visited the Schultz
enfest at the Washington Park, and while
he was promenading the grounds the Ger
mans, indignant at his presence, caused
the band to play the "Rogue's March" for
his benefit, when he abruptly left the
grounds. He left Washington few days
afterwards for the West, and it is stated
that he then had in his possession paymas-
ter's checks amounting to over s2OO,O 600.
Lowenthal, while on trial, as stated
above, attempted to bride some of the
members of the court by sending them CT
CARS wrapped in greenbacks. About a
year ago he married one Of the Forrest Sis
tiers, then performing at the Canterbury,

The Mexican QuestiOn-NapOleOn De.
sires ~ Speedy Settlement.

NEW YORK, October 5.-A Paris letter
Of the 18th of September says: In conse-
qucuCc Of some important news received
from Mexico on the 18th, the Emperor Of
France, who has already dispatched Gene
rI DcCasticman, his aid-dccamp, to Maxi
milan, sent him an order by telegraph to
come back to ST. Cloud, where his instruc
liol!s were to be revised and modified.
Marshal Raudin, the Minister of War, was
present at this interview, which, am as
sucd, was of the most important charac-
tcl, according to the version generally
accepted, based, understand, not merely
upon the critical condition of affairs in
Mexico, but also upon the frmness of the
attitude recently assumed by the Cabinet
If Washington. The intention of the
French Government is to bring about
speedy settlement Of the Mexican ques-
irn, 80 as TO get rid as soon as possible of
tins perpetual subject of solicitude and
annoyance. To this effect the fleet Of
Transports collected at Brcst and Cher
bourg is 10 be largely increased, so as to
hc capable of carrying the whole Of the
French contingent and to evacuate Mexico
all at once. All that will remain of the
French army will then be small garrison

house duties, conceded to France by Maxi
milan, are to be collected. Such are, ]
am assured, the measures just adopted in
Cabinet council in reference to Mexico.
must say, however, that the Paris Pofrie
Isnct quite Of that opinion, and asserts, on
the contrary, that General Castleman's
mission has not for its object to put an end

1t is stated that a man who was unex-
pectly summoned as a witness at late
session of the Massachusetts Supreme
Court, came up from the markets wearing
his frock, and the Associate Justice refused
to hear his testimony on the ground that
such dress was not in keeping with the
dignity of that august tribunal.
Among the interesting on dts in military
circles is the proposed visit of the Seventh
regiment of New York to the Paris exhi-
bition next spring. The proposition has
taken no definite shape. Is itpossible that
America can furnish none but holiday SOL
tliers to the exposition? This Seventh re-
giment is burlesque upon real soldiers.

Claim asain,, the Goverumemt-Pardoncd.

WASHINGTON, October 6.-Mr. G. b. Lamar,
Of Savannah, Ga, is here urging his claim to
a large amount Of cotton seized by the Gro.
vernment. His object appears to be to secure
execution or departmental action In his favor,
thus keeping it out Of the Court OF Claims,
before which tribunal the first step In the pro-
ceedings would require an oath that he had
never participated in the late rebellion.
The President to-day directed pardon to
be issued to Ed. L. Martin, Of Delaware, who
was convicted In April, 1854, in the United
States District Court for the District Of Della
ware, OF aiding and assisting the rebellion,
and sentenced to pay fine Of 81 600 and costs
Of prosecution, all his slaves to be liberated,
and that he be disqualified from holding any
Office under the United States. Martin has
paid the fine and costs, and his pardon was re-
commended by many of the most prominent
citizens Of Delaware.

The next day disposed Of $4,000 to b. +.
