A SLIGHT ERRoR.-We were mistaken,
yesterday, when we said Mr.. Cable made a
proposition to DIR. Trusdaie's administration
to settle the Coal Valley railroad matter.
The proposition was made by DR.. Truesdale
to Nr. Cable, and Mr. Cable signi6ed his
willingness to accept just what Or, Trues-
dale offered, but the aldermen did not sp-
prove oft. sa5 14a&
The next year (last spring. Mayor Eggle-
ston asked Mr.. Cable to make proposition,
and ne made substantially the one first offered
to him by DIR. Truesdale, and this was ap-
proved by Mayor Eggleston, arsd adopted by
the city council-but never carried into eff.
feet. base
Then Mr.. Cable offered an ordinance, with
the belief that it would be cheerfully accept
ed by all-but it was not. We think, with
one change, fixing the time in regard to the
c)al office on the levee, 1T ought to have been
aocepted-but no vote was ever taken on it.
Then Mr.. Cable proposed to drop the
whole question of switches, coal yard, levees,
depots &C., &C., and settle the Indebtedness,
law suits, &C., &e.,-and this proposition
ought to have been instantly accepted.
The people will be disappointed if the
aldermen do not hold called meeting to-
morrow evening and accept it. By so doing
much litigation and expense viii be saved,
and the city will get clear of her debt for
about one-haif its amount.

THE Part or HAMLET OMITTED.

THE PART or HAMLET OUIITED
The Herald-which long headed the hunt
for President J0hnsOns impeachment and for
Radical RecOnstructiOn-has since devoted its
energies to pioneering and directing the move
ment for Gen. Grant rs our next President.
In its leading article on the Grant Meeting III
our City, it says:
1.-THE State Of NewYork and its great metropolis have
appropriately taken the lead in the tremendous political
revolution that has lust swept over the North IL TO
be expected that the most signal rebuke 10 the eXaya
CANT passions and crazy experiments OF reckless aud
visionary politicians should come from the commercial
center OF the Union, and from community having the
largest stake and the deepest interest the peace pro.
ton OF Radlcdsm could not have been accomplished In
other manner so efectualy AZ by the overthrow Of
State, and nearly seventy thousand IN tho City Of New
York since has been generally conceded that the voice
contest OF year for the Presidency Of the United
states The vcrcts Of November and December render
Fan election that does discard all the roicni reoo-
tondry and unconstitutional measures Of The Radical CON.
gTeGs, and stand before the people on platform OF i'm
mediate restoration OF the South upon fair basis icO
negro babarsn rs an Accompaniment &C., &c, &c.
We quote the above in no spirit OF hostil-
ity TO Gen. Grant nor with any purpose to
hold him responsible for whatever any one but
himself may choose to say. We cite it simply
to prove that-Our adversaries themselves being
judges--the grave problem of Reconstruction
must and will enter deeply into the Presiden-
tial canvass now opening. 1t is not in the
power of any conclaye of politicians, however
adrOit, or of merchants, however respect
able, TO prevent this Gov. Seward, in his
speech at Rochester, Oct 2j 1853 nobly and
truly said:
"shall tell you what this collision neans They who
think 10 IL accidental, unnecessarythc work OF inter
ested or fanatca agltators-and therefore ePhemeTa
between opposing and enduring forces - . a 10
the failure 10 apprehend this great truth that induces
many unsuccessful attempts at final compromise be-
tween the Slave and the Free States and h the exist
compromises, when made vain aud ephemeral"
This is just as true in essence to-day as it
was when Gov. S. uttered it, and he never
spoke more truly nor more pertinently. The
great body of the American People are not in
tent on making A. or j. President they are
intent on the full, righteous, and final settle
ment Of the remaining issues of our great
struggle. Those who are for Gen. Grant OF
Chief-Justice Chase, or Mr. Pendlcton, OF any
body else, are mainly so because they expect,
through his nomination and election, TO achieve
the KIND OF Reconstruction they deem desir-
able We do not say that Gen. Grant is not
more popular than any Iival-tllan all others
but we do insist that in 50 far as he is COM
mended to public favor 10y conflicting impress
slOns and expectations rs to the kind of Recon
struction lac fayOrs, his is Fictitious, unreal,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1867-12-06

dclusyc strength, which the stress and strife
of Presidential canvass will surely dissipate.
Thus far, Gen. Grant has been commended
by Radicals on the one hand, aud what are
called Conservatives on the other, each holding
hand to one side of his mouth, and whisper
ing in the ears of their respective cOtcries,
Hush! Ask no ugly questOns Grant is all
"right! | have talked with him, and knOw"
That will go certain length, but it will not
hold out. Before he is half through the can
vass, Gen. Grant will be either the Republican,
or the Democratic candidate, or no candidate
at all. And it is idle and illusory to imagine
that he can essentially modify or usefully dis
regard the convictions of the great body of his
supporters.
Individually, we hold, as we have long held,
UNIVERSAL AMNESTY and IMPARTIAL SUI
FRAGE the two bases of true, benefcent, thor
ough Reconstruction. We believe these bases
will satisfy whatever is just and generous in
the aspirations of each party and of every sec
ton and interest. Universal Amnesty will not
preclude the punishment of crimes forbidden
by the laws of civilized warfare; nor does I'M
partial Suffrage require that Migrants, crlmi-
nails, or paupers, Black or White, shall be au-
tnOllZcu 10 corrupt INC NclulCt VI lho Po"Pc'
We should be glad to see general rule OF SUI
frage established by Constitutional Amendment,
whereby every adult male citizen of full age
should be annually assessed one dollar for the
support of Common Schools in his own town
ship or precinct, and not elsewhere and that
the roll of assessment, duly corrected, should be
the conclusive register of legal voters for the
wear ensuing. We could abide n requirement
that each voter shall know how to read intelll-
gently in each State which shall have, for the
five years preceding, maintained Common
Schools open and free to all. Otherwise, we
hold such requirement unreasonable and unjust.
But we shall have no real. enduring Peace III
in this country while any considerable class
shall be denied the Right of Suffrage either
because they have been Rebels or because of
their color or Of the race whence they Sprang.
These be vital truths. You cannot cifectually
silence them by the roll of the drum; and you
cannot set them aside by talking ever so elo-
quently of Fort DonclsOn, Vicksburg, Mission
Ridge, and Appomattox. 1t will be grave
public misfortune if they shall for time be
overborne by notions OF popular gullblIity
which the rough experiences of a canvass will
surely prove mistaken and fallaoious.

able generalization shows that the strong and

ne to matters purely domestic-which they
were most unwilling to do, under penalty OF
being kept out of the Union. The World again
allows judgment to go against its client by de
fault.
Y. We showed that, while the President was
thus pulling and hauling the Rebel States into
shape for Reconstruction, according to his own
notions. he admitted that the rightful, ulti-
mate power over this subject inhered, not in
the Executive, but in Congress. Again The
World stands mute.
Enough for to-day The World has only
damaged Mr.. Johnson's bad case by exposure
in trying to help it. 1t tries only to sustain
his assertion that Congress had recognized the
validity of his sort of Reconstruction as
follows:
"Does not TIE TRIBUNE know that the Civil Rights bill
was professedy passed to carry out that lant5ayeryl
amendment and under color Of It's authoty-an anenu-
ment which Is to this day no part OF tne ConS'u'o ~

Answer.-No, we do not admit, and we be-
lieve Congress has never admitted, that the
assent of the States temporarily disorganized
by their own act of rebellion was necessary to
validate an Amendment, nor that such States
were entitled to be counted III the aggregate
whereof the assent of three fourths is required
to ratify n constitutional Amendment. Does
The World hold that no President would have
been chosen in 1864 if the leading candidate
had failed TO receive n majority Of the whole
number of Electoral Votes, those OF the Rebel
States incudedl If it does, we beg leave to

We recently published from correspondent at
Savannah Ca, a statement that at the election ioE
the Constitutional Convention in Savannah dele
cation of 100 coored men marched in from the ogee
chez River, in military order, and camped out Tor
several days after the election, waiting to receive ~
acres of land and mule which had been promised 10
each of them by Mr.. Bradley for voting Tor Eo
Convention. We are informed that the wholo
story was false. No such onise was made No
sueh Gift was expected. No suo1 delegation came
armed. or camped out, or went home Respondent III
consequence of any violated omise Our corio-
spondent was imposed upon by Conservative miSreP-
reservations or erroneous rumors. We hope inc ma
ton and The Savannah Necs and Herald, who repu'-
lished the statement, will publish an equally con-
spicuous denial of it. II is not our purpose 10 ak
cIude information which appears TO come wei a''
thenticated because il conveys an unwelcome tr"'n
But wa shall take care that our candor IN TINS ie-
spect be not hereafter made the medium throus"
which the lies Of those who seeking to ooS'ruu'"

dence. And in publishing news from inc SCUM

THE CAuDEN AND AMBOY DECISION.

THE CAMDEN AND ABDUL DE1iriNA''
The Camden and AmbOy Court of Appeals
has given decision as is q decision. The mo-
nopoly has its rights secured-so says tins
learned Court-not only until 1869, when, by
the terms of the grant, that monopoly was 10
end. but far beyond 1869, until the Camden ana
Amboy Railroad shall voluntarily give up what
the Camden and AmbOy Court of Appeals has
given them in the decision just made public
And vet there is kindness in the Camden and
Amboy Court. Out of regard to the feelings
of those who live on the line of the Rantan
and Delaware Bay Railroad, the Court Will not
order the rails taken up, as it would be proper
TO do 1--WE quote the decision); but it Is ordered
that nine miles only of the track, namely, from
Atsion to Jackson, be taken up, thus severlng
the connection from New-Iork to Phlladel-
phia, and perfecting and perpetuating tins most
oppressive monopoly.
We hoped that Congress, after the tardy
passage of the law for promoting commerce
between the States would follow up the blow
by chartering a military and postal road nom
the metropolis to the capital n bill Tor this
was presented TO the House, but Camden ana
Ambov Railroad and Court Of Appeals were
both in Washington, and the bill, after being
killed by making nne-tenths of its colporators
Camden and AmbOy men, was allowed TO pass
the House. 1t died in the Senate Committee.
Congress should give little time to this all
important question, and promptly pass bill to
relieve us and the whole country from this
most oppressive, corrupt, and corrupting curse

Court of Claims to the Supreme Court. An
other bill, also referred provides for the con-
version of registered bonds into coupon bonds.

rights to all men in the District of Columbia,
Reverdy johnson speaking against giving
blacks the right of suffrage. The bill OF resO-

finally laid over. The District of Columbia
