Although there were q very Few over-zeal
Gus men in and out Of Congress at the com
mencement Of the war who heedlessly assert.
ed that the constitutional union Of the States
was broken up, the notion did not rise into
any character outside Of the so-called rebel
States, until IL was found to be essential to
the scheme Of sitting the voice Of those
States in respect to the election Of the next
President. The authors Of that project found
II to be essential to their purposes. They
perceived, as all our readers must, that the
restoration ofpesce wouldentitle the people Of
every State aliketo appoint electors Of Presi-
dent the same as before the war, IL the doc
trine in this respect, upon which the war ON
our part was prosecuted, was generally adj
hered TO. The idea advanced by ex-President
LINCOLN, in his last public address, that they
were "out Of their proper practical relations,
but in the Union nevertheless would not
answer their purpose. Nothing short Of the
full-fedged heresy Of "a dissolved Union
would meet the demands Of this particular
emergency.
This must have been deemed at first a
very hard necessity II involved an amount
Of personal qualification which must have
been extremely Notifying to some of the
parties, il not absolutely painful. 1t involved
a reversal of all the uttered doctrines, in this
respect of the Government during the war.
1t involved the remuneration Of the theory
which Congress itself laid down in its resolu-
tons Of 1861 defining the objects of the war.
And 1t involved shameful disavowal in the
face Of the civilized world Of the repeated
declarations Of Secretary SEWARD in his cor
respondence, land which had SO efIectually
prevented foreign intervention,) that, not
witistanding the rebellion, the American
Union Of States remained, in contemplation
of law, intact. But the exigencies of the
scheme seemed to require all these sacrifices,
and It's authors seem to have concluded to
make them.
And they seem to have resolved to make
all the national sacrifices which are likely to
result from an exposure Of the Government to
the pecuniary liabilities and dangers of such

ATTEMPTED AssAULT.-Night before last
Lieut.. Jas. n. Skater, 18th L. S, c. l., was
returning TO the camp Of his regiment from
the city, where he had been to transact some
business. Near the corner of Broad and
Spruce streets he observed two white men
advance from behind small building and
approach towards him. One of the men
said, Where are you going ?" to which the
Lieutenant made no reply, but stepped back
and picked up stone. As the parties APP
preached he threw the stone at them, strik-
ing one of the men in the face and causing
him TO fall. The other man made hasty
retreat from the scene of action. Lieut..
SKATER went back on Spruce street short
distance, and getting into hack which hap
pened to be passing along the street, pro-
ceeded to the camp Of his regiment, without
stopping to ascertain the amount of injury
done TO the fallen man. We did not learn
that any arrests were afterwards made.
