contains an important paragraph in the
Presidents Montana speech that did not ap-
pear in the published report. The letter

writing from Washington, makes this state

to give the denial by the President himself

brought this story TO the attention Of the
President last evening by saying that it
was reported that he the President h.ld
declared bi, reconstruction plliGY a failure.
and that he had determined to remove Gov
ernor Pierpont and appoint Provisional
Governor. In reply, Mr. lJohnson said there
was nOL n word of truth in the report that
hc had never ntmated or entertained any
such purpose, and that he should on no
consideration interfere In the Internal af-
fairs of Virginia or any other of the States,

The Real Question Rightly Stated.
The Albany ArRts thus sums up the
whole question of restoration which is now
agitating the country:
president johnson accorls 20 Congress
the full power to decide upon the qualtica-
ton of members of that body and to pass
upon their right to seats. But rs to the adj
mission of States there is no such question
before that body. OF the ten excluded
States, Virginia, South Carolina. and Gcor-
gin were original parties TO the Union and
the acts by which Tennessee, Louisiana,
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Texas
were sevcrally admitted 70 the Union. have
not been repealed. In thcin stands re-
corded Che title of those States to places in
the onion, which cannot be questioned
which Congress and the President have al
ready sanctioned and the Judiciary recog-
nsedl There is no question IL to the adj
mission of those States. What ougress is
now discussing Is, IL fairly stated, the qles-
tlon Of their eXpulsion--and that is gues-
ton of disuniOn, aud so the President I'M
derstands it, ufT. ...|.
