A REpvRncAS PlCrrRE OF CoSdREss-
\ Washington correspondent wri es to the
New York Post:
The republicans arc By NJ means UNI
ted. A part of them. IN hoih Houses DO
not really desire to complete any practical
method of reconstruction. Ihcy mean %
keen the Southern States out as long a>
they can. to treat them as harsh!y as pos
siblc. to force through Congress measures
which shall Increase instead OF diminishing
the divergence between the President ana
Congress. These men oppose the Blame
amendment to the military bill, and insi|'
ON the passage of the military bull alone.
The violent and extreme republicans III
both Houses exercise an influence dlspro-
portioncd to their numbers, by reason OF
their yiruleuce and Intolerance. They de-
nounco as coppcrhead every republican
who Offers to differ fr"m them, and 'xer
else really a system of terrorism, which
has broken down The independently Jn smrn'
of very many, and makes some Of the adj i
men in the House and Senate so anxious
to avoid their prescription, that they arr

Female School.

The Board of School Commissioners Of
our county have organized a Female Schoo
in our village and ap pointed Mrs. Harriet
Matthews as teacher The school, we pre-
sumo will be subject to the same rules
and regulations as prevail in the male
schools. We think this is a just and ju-
diciou: move on the part Of the Commls-
sioncrs as the male school in the villa &c
has been found insufficient to accommodate
even the boys in the school district, and,
a. Lerctpforc, the parents Of girls have
bsen compelled to send their daughters tc
private schools, being thus deprived, ex-
ccpt in the case Of their boys, of all bcne-
fits Of our free school system. The Com
missioucrs, We learn, are now in treaty for
school house and it is expected that the
school will be organized iu few days
Mrs. Matthews, the appointee of the Com
missioncrs, is regarded as eminently quail
ihcl for the position to which she has been
called, being lady of liberal accomplish
ments and having had quite an extensive
experience in teaching.

The New Registration Bill.

The distinctive difference between the
Registration act Of 1863 and the Reglsira-
Bill now before the House of Delegates for
It's consideration and action, is, that the
new bill admits all white male citizens of
our State of proper alc Except lunatIes'
persons convicted Of infamous crimes and
persons convicted of bribing voters, } to
registration upon taking the following
oath:
Il -. do swear Cor afirm( that |
am citizen Of the United Statcs, and that
will bear true faith and allegiance to the
United States, and support the constitution
and laws thereof rs the Supremc Law OF the
land. anv law or ordinance to the contrary
notwithstanding that | will. in all res
meets. demean myself as lrval citizen Of
the United States and | make this oath
(or afirmation) without any reservation
or evasion. and believe it to be binding on
me.
Should any election intervene after the
passage Of the new Registration act and
before the registration for the present year
shall have been completed, all parties not
now registered but who are entitled under
the provisions of the present bill to regis
,r,tion shall be entitled to vote upon tax
ING before the Judges of Election the oath
above given.

The Law Of Evidence,

1t is likely that the Legislature before
the adjournment of the present session will
adopt a law allowing negroes to testify in
our Courts in eases where white parties
are concerned. The Judiciary committee
of the lIeuse has now before it a bill pro
viling for change in the present law Of
evidence which, if acted upon at all this
session, will almost certainly be adopted
1t provides that mo person shall hereafter
be deemed incompetent as witness by
reason of being negro or mulatto," and
that negroes and mnlattoes shall be COM
petcnt. to testify in all cases in the same
manner as white persons" \ bill on this
st,liect passed the Senate few weeks
since, bat was rejected in the House.

scs that the ultras may slough of from
and commence hostilitics upon, their more
moderate allies. They arc likely also to

TIE PRESIDENT AND TIE SHERMAN bIL

TIE PprsIpENT AND THE SHERMAN BILL.
The action of President johnson on the
Sherman Bill, should it pass the lower
House of Congress, is looked for with
great anxiety alike by friends an! fees.
The Washington Rep"iI'can paper,
if not the organ, certainly high ia the
confidence of the President, indicates pref
ty clearly that Mr. johnson will not sane
ton the Sherman iniquity. 1t says, IN rs
issue Of the 18th instant
ave did hope that the Senate would
inaururatc measure that the President
would be willing to acquleScc IN, even II
he could not sign it, and which. after 1t
did become law, he could execute. Mr.
Sbcrman's does not seem to US to be such
4 measure.
Having fully recognized the legality of
tho present State Governments at the South
it would now be grossl inconsistent in him
to assist to overthrow them by military
agency or at all. But if he fails to sane
ton and above all to execute the Sherman
scheme. should it obtain the force of law
Congress will certainly impeach him. The
antagoni,m in the contingency named be-
tween the executive and the Legislative
branchc. of the Government will then be
complete and there will be no other alter
native for the President except to back
down or to fight.

out BY the Radical party 4 % dis.ricting
States as to leave to tue minority scarcely
q voice III State and national affairs has
turned the attention of tilinkin. men to
the subject, with view of curing the evil,
if possible, by Legislation. The Cincinna-
ii EnqH'rer puts the case plainly before
the country, and shows that great minor
itlcS have Few or no Representatives in
Congress, in the Electoral Colleges. or in
the State Legislature Thus 2l5 900
Democrats in Ohio have but three Con
gre,smen, while 245 i, 600 Republicans have
sixteen men.bc In 1862, 1s0, 600
Democrats in this State elected fourteen
members of Congress, while 172 600 Re
pubiic,sLs had but five members When
President Lincoln WAS chosen III 1860 he
had $50 electoral votes on a popular poll
.of 500 OUO. Stephen \. Douglas, on
tho contrary, got but IL electoral votes
with ! 900 600 popular votes. Aluest
as enormous an inequality existed at the
late Presidential election, when McClellan
and pcndltton were the candidates for
President a-d Vicc-Presidennt against
Lincoln and johnson. Ia tho present
Rnmp House Of Rcpr sentaiives, 200
600 Republican votes have 40 members,
while l 500, 600 Democrats have only 40
members"
The plan suggested by the E"qn'er for
giving representation to the minority IN the
several States is as follows:
IL each party, for instance, III Ohio,
nominate and woe for niLeteen men on a
general ticket to represent the State III
the House of Representatives OF the | 'nted
States When the votes are counted, let
the law require of the Secretary OF State
to make al average Of the vote given for
each ticket The proportion that that
average lears to the whole num} er Of vot S
cas-; viii IN l;c@tc how many members are
70 bc ass: gncd to each ticket. If one tick
ct has 25U, 900 votes, and the other has
200 900, the proportion ofmemberS would
be as eleven to eight In, eleven high
est on the majority ticket would receive
their cent ti..atc: of election, and the eight
highest on the minority ticket. BY this
means each party would have is dlc share
of repre- in proportion to its votes,
and the whole State of Ohio, and not u
part it, would be represented III Con

''If there were more than two parties, 1t
would not affect in the least the workings
of the rule If there should be a fraction
IN each case, let the largest one have
the benefit of it, In the Presidential clcc-
tious this rule would be admirable, and
give to the minority and majority in each
