Among the prominent Southerners who
have lately favored the pu bIic with their vie w.
on reconstruction il Roger A. Pryor OF Wiz.
ginia, late general in the Confederate army
VINO has written a letter to friend in New
York Indignantly denying the statement or a
Virginia paper that he was Radical" say.
ing that he has NO politics, having given mp all
political aspirations with the downfall OF the
confederacy, but claims that he has in good
faith returned to his allegiance to the Govern
ment OF the United States, and sis merely de-
sirous OF re-establishing harmony and good
feeling between all sections. He says:
"Leaving to others the ostenslble part in the
work OF reconstruc tion,- and abstaininE stu
diously from ali political connection and &C.
tivity, have hoped in some measure and in q
quiet way, TO repair the evil contributed to
bring upon the South by awaiting myself of

FINANCIAL.

The New Ysrk money market il much sk-
cited un1er tAs discovery Of the counterfeit
On the Juns Seven .thirties. The Assistant
Treasurer n Tat city yesterday reesfved Ad'
vices Of he discovery having been made In the
Departmeat here, and the information was
duly impaired to the principal dealers. Il
turned out, On examination Of the stocks On
hand, tnatsone Of the large dealers hold quite
important amounts Of the spurious notes.
There II NO means Of estimating, as yet, the
probable smoant put in circulation. The
Treasury has not a. yet been able TO ascertain
what amount has been received by the Depart
ment, and must examine all 1t has received in
order to know how far it has been imposed
upon The counterfeits discovered here were
received from the West. How long they have
been In circulation 1t is impossible to estimate
IS they are such perfect fac simile of the
original notes AZ to entirely disarm suspicion
The countsrfeiis appear to be confined to the
$1,000 denomination, no other having been
discovered. The New York Commercial says:
The effect Of the discovery for the moment is
to render the Sever. thlries almost unstable,

THE COUNTERFEIT 30 BONDS

The detectives Of the Treasury Department
are actively engaged at work 10 ferret out the
ccunterfeiters of the 80 one thousand dollar
bonds now in circulation. 1t is the opinion OF
all the officers at the Treasury Department,
thar the counterfeit was not made in this coun
Try, as il il an excellent piece Of workman
ship. Up to to-day the department ha, as
certained that seventy.f1ve of these bonds
each OF the denomination of $1,000, have
been passed, and of these number were re-
deemed at the Department beforethe counterfeit
felt was detected. The Chief of the Loan Branch
has been directed to make fuIl report to thu
Secretary OF all facts connected with the same,
which will be promulgated Tomorrow. MANY
OF the New York bankers who have taken
these bonds know from whom they received
them, and consequently will lose nothing.

THR IMPEACHMENT TEsTIMeNY-The cor
respondent of the Boston Post says of the evil
dencs before the Impeachment Committee:
"The testimony given by Gen. Grant is per.
maps the most interesting yet taken by the
committee. He testified that he was consulted
by President Lincoln on the subject OF restor :
ing the State OF North Carolina to her former
relations to the Union; that Mr.. Lincoln read
to him proclamation he had prepared on the
subject and that the late proclamation issued
BY President johnson relative to the State Of
North Carolina was identically the same as
the one which Mr.. Lincoln had read 20 him
just prior to his death. 1t is further said
that Mr.. Stanton testified before the committee
that he had also drafted q proclama tioA on
this subject. The Judiciary COMMITTEE it is
Understood, stand five to four against impea IN.
ment, and the majority report will be made by
the Chairman, Hon James Wilson, OF Iowa
The four members favoring impeachment will
probably each make separate report, taking
the ground that the reconstruction policy of
the President was violative of the Constitution
and that the restoration OF certain railroad
property in. Tennessee was from mercenary
considerations and without authority of law

Information has been received at tho Bureau
Of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned
Lands. that on Tuesday, October .. Captain
Brubaker, Of that Eareau. accompanied BY
Mr.. Daniels, late Bureau Agent, proceeded
from Harper's Ferry TO Smithf1ead, Va, to

people and confer with them. with Q view to
establishing q school. During the afternoon
they visited the house Of Mr.. Turner. about
three miles from the village, Unionist, and
member OF the school board of that district.
Returning TO the village In the evening, large
number Of freedmen had assembled at the
school house, and . number Of whites had
collected outside. They proceeded with their
business unmoiested. After leaving the build
ing, the crowd outside became noisy, shouting
for JEFF. Davis, mingled with curses against
Yankees. On entering their buggy to leave,
they were fred upon by these men. who were
armed with pistols. Being unarmsd they
drove of, making narrow escape from being
shot. The parties who committed the outrage
have since been making boasts Of having run
or two "Yankees" for interfering with the
s.niggers." The statement IL further 70 the effect
that "the rebels Of this valley are becoming
more defiant daily. 1t is hardly possible that

OHIO

OHIO.
Among tho causes producing the results OF
the recent election in Ohio, q most prominent
one appears to have bsen overlooked BY
the public up 70 this time. The negro
suffrage amendment a. 1t 10 termed. embraced
4 clause disfranchising all Uaion soldiers who
had not received honorable discharges from
the army. 1t Is as follows:
.sEeach male citizen of the United States
of the age of twenty -one years, who shall have
been q resident OF the State one year next pre-.
ceding the election, ana Of the county, town.
ship or u ard in which he resides, suob time a
may be provided by law, except such persons
Is have borne arms In support OF any insur-
rection Or rebellion against the Government of
the United States, or have fed from their
places of residence TO avoid being drafted into
the military service thereof or haze deserted the
military or naval services of said Government iR
time OF ,cdr, and had not subsequently been hon.
orally discharged from the SAME, and shall have
the qualifications of "a eiector, and be entitled
to vote at all elections"
This clause was aimed especially at the
bounty jumpers and men who deserted to the
rebel armies during the war. But had 1t been
adopted by the people, 1t weuld likewise have
disfranchised between twenty and thirty thou.
sand Ohio Union soldiers who were neither
bounty jumpers nor deserters to the public
enemy. About the close Of actual military op-
erations, question arose as to the date of the
ton of the ONO troops. The latter contended
that their term had expired. The military An
thorities contended that it had not expired,
and adopted stringent measures to keep the
men In the service, 1t being deemed necessary
to preserve the strength of the army for some
time longer. Between twenty and thirty thou.
sand Of these Ohio troops who had served gall
lantly in the field-whose record had been
up to that period without 9 stain-left
the service without leave and went home.
Under military laws they were regarded as
deserters, and SO stand recorded on the books
of the army. One and all they would have
been disfranchised by the adoption Of this un-
wise clause Of the negro suffrage amendment.
OF course these men. and all interested pea
sonsiiy In their standing as men, voted against
the amendment. 1t is not unreasonable to
conclude that the presence of this disfranchis
ing clause in the proposition caused at leas t
thirty thousand votes to be thrown against it,
and large number to be thrown against the
ticket nominated on such a platform.
