instead of reconstruction, of disunion
instead of reunion, and contemplated
patching up restoration in a man

clared that all persons who had been in
rebellion and had once taken the oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States were no longer citizens of the
United States, and could not become SO
except through the forms of naturaliza-
ton. He submitted Congress had no
color of authority for declaring, first,
that million of people of this country
we're no longer citizens, and, second,
that they could take no steps for organ
izing State governments until Congress
passed an enabling act permitting them
to do so,

]. WILKES BOOTHS DIARY.

For the first time after the death of j.
WILKES BooTH, we hear of diary being
found on his body. 1t is in the hands
of an investigating committee. 1t pur-
ports to show that he was an agent of the
Confederate government, and received
money from it. Wonder what genius got
up this diary2 A dispatch says:
For some reason its contents we're not
used on the trial. 1t shows that he was
an agent of the Confederate Government,
and received money from it, and that at
one time at least the plan was to kidnap
Mr.. LINCOLN. 1t is believed to impli-
cate only BooTH and HAROLD in
the assassination. An entry made on
Friday, the 2lst of April, one week
after the murder, shows that it must
have been written in perfect agony OF
mind. 1t discloses his position, with a
broken leg, in the midst of a swamp,
alone, an outcast, an assassin, weighed
down by his guilt and feeling that God
would refuse him forgiveness. 1t is
altogether such a cry of human agony
as seldom finds expression in words,

Novel suggestion for the Southern States.


A letter in the New York Erenins
Post, ITO the Legislatures of the South
ern States" from H. B. Blackwell, {
prominent New Jersey abolitionist, sug
suggests a novel method of reconstruc
ton. We make an extract:
Now the Radicalism of the North il
actual, organic and progressive. Recog
nize the fact
But if governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned "--if Taxation without represen.
tation is tyranny land ION these two
commandments hang all the republican,
law and the prophets Then these prop
ositions are as applicable to women as
to negroes.
Consistency is a jewel" The prin'
ciple is so broad that, if you accept it in
its entirety, you can afford to lead, not
follow.
The population of the late slave States
is about twelve Millions eight millions
white, four millions black. The Radi-
Gals demand suffrage for the black men
on the grounds named above. Very good.
Saw to them, as Mr.. Cowan said to the
advocates of negro male suffrage in the
District, "apply your principle ! Give
suffrage to all men and women of mature
age and sound mind, and we will accept
it as the basis of state and national re-
construction.
Consider the result from the Southern
stand point
Your four millions of Southern white
women will counterbalance your four
millions of negro men and women, and
thus the political supremacy Of your
white race will remain unchanged.
Think well of this 1t is calculation
of the relative political influences of
white women and of negroes which, per-
haps, your people have not yet consid-
cred. Let us make the statement in
figures Estimating one male voter to
every five persons, your present vote is
White .......l 500, 900
Id white '........l 900, 900
Tstal white yoters....................9,2 200, OOO
Negro O,0O0
Negro females.....,........ 6OO,OO
Total negro voters. 600, 900
Suppose all the negroes vote one way
and all the whites the other, your white
majority would be l,60O,000-equal to
your present total vote. Thus you would
control your own State Legislature.
Meanwhile, your influence in the coun-
ellis of the nation will be greater than ever
before, because your emancipated slaves
will be counted in the basis of represent
tation, instead of as formerly, in the
ratio Of five for three.
In the light of your Confederacy, can
any Southerner fear to trust the women
of the South with the ballot2
Do you say that Northern Repub-
licans would not accept such propo-
sition They cannot avoid it.
Your Southern legislatures can ex-
tend suffrage to "all inhabitants, as the
New Jersey State convention did in l776
Then let the Republicans in Congress
refuse to admit your Senators and Rep
resentatives if they dare. If so, they
will 90 under. Upon that issue, fairly
made up, the men OF positive convictions
would rally around the new and consis-
tent Democratic party. The very ele-
ment which has destroyed slavery would
side with the victorious South, and out
of the uettle danger you would pluck
the aowery safety"

MR.. GLADSTONE IN PARIS.

The Paris Correspondent of The Globe
thus describes the reception accorded Mr..
Gladstone by the Society of Political
Economy Mr.. Gladstone having arrived
in Paris, en- route from Italy to London,
the Society Of Political Economy of Paris
gave him a dinner on the Goth, at the
Grand Hotel. The members of the So
ciety were only warned the day before
that the banquet was to come off. "Mr.
Gladstone" said the circular issued,
"having, in passing through Paris, &C
cepted the invitation given to him in the
name of the Society of Political Economy,
the bureau informs you that an excep-
tionaI dinner will take place tomorrow,
the Goth, at the Grand Hotel. The
members will assemble at seven o'clock,
and will take their places at table at
half-past seven" And there was a post
scrip. "The members of the society are
earnestly requested not 10 make any per-
sonal invitations" Well, towards seven
about 100 members of the society, and
a few strangers invited by the Bureau
assembled in a grand saloon on ne first
floor. At about a quarter past Mr..
Gladstone appeared, accompanied by M.
WOloWskl, one OF the Vice-preSldentS OF
the society, and was received by NJ.
Passy, the president. Both these gentle
men belong to the Institute, and the lat
ter was at one time Minister of Finance.
The first fluctuations over, Mr.. Gladstone
placed himself in q corner, and there Sc
veral of the more notable members of the
society were introduced TO him-among
them M. Andre Cochut, to whom he is
indebted for much Of the high repute 10
which he is held in France, that gentle

nOmlC merits OF Mr.. Gladstone ana also
of Mr. Cardwell-"our illustrious guests"
as he called them. He was %applauded,
not certainly so noisely as the chairman
at an English feast would have been,
but with a warmth which must have
proved to the English statesmen that the
French economists approved Of every
word that was said in their praise, and
wished to make them feel that they did
so. Mr.. Gladstone rising, answered in
English. His speech, which was a little
long, trrned on the importance Of politi-
cal economy and on its power in uniting
nations. He was very heartily applaud
ed at different parts of his discourse, and
also at the end. Mr.. CardweIl also spoke,
and in English. He was less brilliant
than the ex- Chancellor, but he was I'M
aft cted, and he displayed an emotion
which pleased his hearers greatly. If
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Cardwell were not
delighted with their reception they must
be hard indeed to please. Nothing could
possibly be more cordial, respectful, fiat
tering. The giving of an Exceptional"
dinner to them, as the directing commit
tee of the society called it, was in itself
no small honour. The society frequent
ly invites distinguished foreigners who
happen to be in Paris on the date of it's
ordinary monthly meetings, but so far as
recolIect- and my membership dates
from 1859-it has very rarely, indeed,
offered special bauquets. And really ii
is not too much to say that a mark of de-
ference from this society is o great dis
~tinction, even for a statesman of Mr..
GladStone's mark for its office bearers,
in addition to M. Passy and NJ. Wolowski
before mentioned, Nj. Michel Chtvalier,
M. Renouard Judge Of the Court Of Cas-
%sation; M. Horace Say, and M. Joseph
Garnier--aIl men of no small renown
and among its members past and present,
are not ONLY Frenchmcn bat foreigners
of scientific and political celebrity.
The Times correspondent gives The fol-
lowing briefsummary ofthe speech by Mr..
Gladstone. The right honorable gentleman
modestIy alluded TO what he had done
during his tenure Of office as Chancellor
of the Exchequcr. Abiding to the treaty
of commerce he said that the part he had
taken in il was merely secondary. There
were two persons to whom the merit
was really cue; first, The Emperor Ma
polcon, but for whose strong will and
perseverance that great act never would
have been accomplished, for it was he
who, in spite of obstacles which would
have deferred anyone else, transformed
what had once been but a pleasing dream
into a brilliant and solid reality ; and,
next, 10 Mr.. Golden, a man of the high
est order of talent, of the purcSt patrio-
tism, of The most indomitable perseve-
rance in what he felt to be right and just,
and Of the most disintercsted character.
To these two personageS all the merit
of that great work should be attributed,
while all the merit he claimed for him
self was having seconded the efforts of
his lamented friend. His a~llusion to Mr..
Golden vas most touching; it was re-
ceived with a burst of applause. Mr..
Gladstone fully admitted that England
had long sinned in the matter of CONNER
cial freedom, but she had since made
