WHo AK DrsFRANoHIsED - la his
veto Of the Supplementary Reconstruc-
ten bill, which We publish elsewhere
to-day, the President takes the ground
that the responsibility of deciding
whether the voter is DISTINGUISHED or
not rests with the voter, and If he makes
e mistake he ia in peril of being punish
ed by a military commission, Now
none are 80 blind as those who will not

to see who were disfrsnchised by it, OF
construed it to mean as he, in his persist
ent opposition to all measures OF per
msuent reconstruction enacted by Con
gress. would like to have it. That in.
strument defines with great distinctness
that only those who have taken an oath
to support the Constitution of tAe
United states and afterwards violated
their oath and participated in the rebel
lion or gave aid and comfort to 1t are
DISTINGUISHED. This is the class which
are deprived by 1t from the privilege o.

which we do not think will form an In
correct conclusion as to their ability To
vote under the law. No Others not
even the rank and 6ls OF the rebel army
except under the above circumstances
are excluded from voting by Its provi
sious. But the executive clearly intend

THE BuRLrSeToN CATHEDRAL. - The
cost of the Roman Catholic Cathedral
in Burlington, so far, has been about
$4,000. That is the cost of the walls
and roof, the floor timbers being not yet
laid. 1t is estimated that to complete
the three unfinished towers and finish
the interior will require about 100000,
making the total cost Of this fine struc-
ture upwards of $4,000. Among the
interior decorations, on the way from
Europe, are three stained windows, rep
resenting the "last judgment" procured
at a cost of over $1,000.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION of THH
CZAR OF RUSSIA.

FUN PsrtiouIsrs--Arrest OF tho Assassin.
An attempt was made last week to as
sassinate the Car Of Russia, who is in
Paris attending the Exposition. The
N. Y. Herald's Paris special furnishes the
following particulars:
The Moniteur in its official account of
the attempted assassination, says:
The ball struck the head of the horse
which carried one of the Imperial grooms,
riding at the door of the carriage. The
people in the crowd arrested the assassin,
and'the police interfered to save his life,
which was threatened by the enraged
people. The man says his name is Bego-
ruski, and that he is native of Vaihynia.
The LIE Droit says the assassin Is Po-
lish mechanic, and that he purchased
double-barreled pistol here June 9Th.
The Gazette des Tribuneux says the
groom in waiting, who was riding by the
door of the Imperial carriage, observed
the menacing movement of the man in
the crowd and caused his horse to bound
forward so as to place him directly be-
tween the assassin and the sovereign
The ball passed through the space formed
between Napoleon and one of the Grand
Dukes, son of the Gar, wounding a lady
standing opposite to see the cortege pass.
| The blood from the head of the groom's
horse spirited on the uniforms of the Inn
perial party. The man attempted to fire
| second shot, but this discharge burst the
second barrel. The assassin said he came
from Belgium, two days since, with the
intention of killing the Gar.
The Paris Steele says the man states
that he had no accomplices.
The IaFrance says: The address OF
congratulation to Napoleon has been ex-
tensively signed in the different towns,
and it is believed will become general.
TheAmericans here, through Gen. Dix,
will,present an address to the Car.
Service was held in the Russian church
in Paris to-day. The Gar, the Grand
Duchess, and the sons of the Gar attend
ed and offered thanksgiving for their es.
cape. After service the sons embraced
the father with much emotion. Both
Emperors also embraced. Some of the
Cars suit advised his return at once to
Russia, but he would not.
The assassin was examined to-day. Ht
is an instrument maker. He was askeC
how he could fire at sovereign, thegues
of France. He replied, with tears
"True, committed a great crime agains
France" "But you ran the risk of kill
ing Napoleon" To this the prisoner re
plied mo, Polish bullet could not g
astray. 1t must go straight when aimee
at the Car. / wished to release tn
E world of the Car, and the Gar of tn
remorse which must weigh upon him.
+ The prisoner showed no sorrow for tn
crime he had attempted to commit, an
only expressed his regret at its failure.
j. Napoleon has conferred the Cross c
' the Legion of Honor upon the groom.-
The. horse of the groom died.

A Memphis Picnic.

The Memphis (Tenn.) Post has de-
tailed account of great picnic OF colored
people held at Bartlett Station, not far
from Memphis, on the lat inst. Thous-
ands took part in II. The regard mani
tested by tho children Of the colored
schools for their teachers was an affect
ing and prominent feature of the occa-
sion. Interesting speeches were made
by the Rov. Mr.. Bliss; by John f. Harris
and II. C. Carter, (colored); by Reuben
DALEY and by Gen. John Eaton, editor
OF the Post, and Union candidate for
State School Superintendent.
OF the trip to the grounds, the Post
says:
The train sped on as safety would per-
init, every scat being crowded, and even
standing room being scarce. During the
tourney out, we enjoyed, with patriotic
emotion, the national hymns as sung by
Miss Lou H, Kizzie H, Misses
Kitty J. K,-- and W and Abbie
N. Il Pluribus Unum, and the Star
Spanglsd Banner, were first given, and
Is the train neared the National Gene

manner as sent thrill Of JOY through

After the selection of delegates to the

urging his nomination.
The Union men OF Southeastern Ohio,
In presenting Gen. Cowen as a candidate
for Governor, and, with the assistance
OF his numerous friends In other parts OF
the State, urging the Convention to
nominate him. as they intend to,feel that
they are not actuated.by selfish motives
alone. They would, it is true, be graft
fled to see one Of their fellow-citizens,
for whom they entertain high regard,
on account of his moral and social quail
ties, thus honored but they would not
and do not ask the Republican Party to
make any sacrifice Of principle, or In any
way jeopardize its prospect OF success,
for the purpose of catering 30 local in
terests or gratifying personal feeling
The in n-egrity and success of that Party
.s to them matter OF deeper interest
than the promotion ofany Of their fellow
Citizens.
Gen. Cowen, however, is fully qualifi-
ed to fill the position for which he Is
presented. His administrative abilities
and business qualifications have been
fully tested in the Office OF Adjt.- Gen
eral of the St&te, during the Rebellion.
His affable and courteous department
In official positions have made him pop
ular with almost every person in the
State who Of late years has had otlicia
business to transact in the department

nected. He has been and Ia now al
earnest advocate of the progressive spiri
Of Republicanism, and IL, as the Chair
man of the State Central Committed
fully pledged 70 the principle OF equn
md exact justice to all men. With
full knowledge Of these recognized quail
ficatlons for the position for which he
presented, and a firm belief that hi
nomination will add strength to tn
Party in the coming contest, the Unio
men Of this section OF the State inten
to labor earnestly for his nomination.
And while they urge his nomination o
the score of capacity and availability
they may, without improperly, also nj
peal to the Union men OF other section
of the State TO recognize the claims

The spirit which inspires the above par

AS soldiers, we were opposed to each
