GEORGE WASHINGTON PRONOUNCED IN
FAMoUs.-The New York World under
takes to set the universal public right as
to the character Of Washington. Slavery,
argues the World, was, according to Radi-
cal teachings, "the sum Of all villainies %;
and Washington was Shareholder. Re-
bellion is the greatest of crimes; and Wash
ington was a rebel. To violate an oath of
allegiance is to put ones self ont of the
pale of gentlemen; and Washington vio-
lated his oath of allegiance.
If there be any distinction in favor of
Washington it must consist in the good
ness of the cause in which he broke his
oath and rebelied. But the moment you
admit that any excuse can be good, you
give ND the whole justification of vindic-
tive measures. For who is to judge of the
goodness of the cause.-the rebels, or the
Government rebelled against? The Go
vernment must, of course, be, in all cases,
the sole Judge and by this righteous rule
Washington was just as inexcusable as &C.
neral Lee. Governments are always right,
and rebels always wrong. Had his troops
been cut to pieces in his gloomy retreat
through New Jersey he would have been
justly executed as rebel, inasmuch as
the vengeance of the Government rebelled
against, and not the moral judgment OF
mankind, is the true measure of guilt.

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE.-We under
stand that negotiations have been on foot
for some time on the part Of the Emperor
Napoleon with certain parties in this coun-
try, with the sanction Of our Government,
to Law an Atlantic cable between Brest and
New York. We have reason to believe,
from the best authority, that the Emperor
is not only most favorably disposed to the
enterprise, but that he is willing to give all
his influence to encourage the capitalists
throughout France to embark in it con-
Jointly with the moneyed men of New
York, such as A. 7. Stewart, William B.
Aston, Commodore Vanderbilt, Marshal
o. Roberts, and others on this side of the
Atlantic.-Ne,c York Times.

We have asked in vain what becomes of
the State of West Virginia if Governor
Peirpoint is not the legal Governor of Vir-
ginia. His signature validated the act
giving the consent of the State to division.
If he was not the bona tide Governor, what
becomes of the act itself If the southern
States are not States, how comes it that
United States courts are held in their
midst, and appeals taken thence to the
Supreme Court ?-Nationat Mteligencer,
18th.
Governor Peirpoint's last message an.
swers these questions, by implication. The
State ceased to be a legal one, in the
opinion Of the Radicals, when it passed
out of the hands of the "loyal" men into
those of the people themselves-that is,
when the third article Of the Constitution
was changed by Legislature of "rebels"
elected before they were eligible.l

RECONSTRUCTION IN SIGHT.-A signif-
cant acknowledgment was made yester-
day, even by SO determined an ultraist as
Mr.. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, which
ought not to escape the attention of the
people of the South. Replying to Mr..
Bingham's reminder that the constitutions
adopted by the southern people would still
have to come before Congress for accept
ance, he declared that Congress would
be under the irresistible pressure to accept
any constitution so adopted as the work OF
the people of the State" This was urged
by Mr.. Boutwell, as reason for having the
preliminaries so arranged that no needless
question should be raised in Congress sub
seouently about the admission of State.

act Of the I'd Of March for the registration
Of voters. II determined who might vote
within those States; and Il was for the
purpose Of enabling competent persons to
act that this bill provided for a registration
under the supervision Of military CON-
manders.
Mr.. BLAINE asked Mr.. WILSON whether
this bill was not designed and expressly
calculated to give everybody in those States
an even start in the election.
Mr.. WILSON replied that that was GER
tainly the purpose Of the bill.
Mr.. BLAINE expressed the opinion that
that being the object Of the bill, it should
be passed at once.
Mr.. WOOD remarked that the effect Of
the bill depended entirely on the will Of
the military commander.
Mr.. WILSON replied that the military
commander would be controlled by the
provisions Of the bill, and could not extend
the time for the completion of the registra-
ton beyond the LIST Of September next.
This bill was intended to act in aid Of the
legislation Of last Congress-the act Of I'd
Of March being, as everybody knew, i'm
perfect in its rovisions-providing no ma
chinery for carrying its provisions into eff
feet. This bill merely supplied that de-
feet.
Mr.. BINGHAM moved to amend the
fifth section so as to make the State con-
stitution be adopted by majority of those
actually voting, instead Of, as is provided
in the fifth section, by majority of those
registered.
This amendment gave rise to consider
able discussion, involving the whole merits
of the bill, and participated in by Messrs.
BINGHAM, WILSON, boutwell,, NIBLACK,
MARSHALL, and ELDRIDGE. Finally, it was
rejected without division.
Mr.. BUTLER asked Mr. WILSON to let
him submit a motion to recommit the bill
for the purpose of striking out the provi-
sions requiring the military commanders
to carry out the law within specified
time. -.
Mr.. WILSON declined to yield for that
purpose, remarking that the bill gave Mill
tary commanders until the first of Septem-
Der next. He moved the previous Ques-
ton.
The previous question was seconded, and
the main question ordered.
Mr.. WOOD moved to lay the bill on the
table. Rejected-yeas, q; nays, lis.
The bill was then passed-yeas, LII !;
nays, pa strict party vote.

The SENATE CAUCUS To-DAY.--The Re-
publican senators, at their caucus this
morning, agreed not to fix day for adj
iournment until after the enactment of a
supplement to the Sherman reconstruc-
ton act, providing for the calling of con-
ventions, the registration of voters, the
primary elections, and other machinery of
reconstruction. In view of the fact that
the President may veto this supplementary
bill, it was determined in the caucus that
no definite action should be had as to the
day of adjournment until after it shall
have been placed upon the statute book.-

JUDGE LoNGsTREET.-This gentleman,
the distinguished humorist, and author Of
Georgia Scenes" is now living in Oxford,
but is no longer connected with the uni
versity, over which he formerly presided.
Time has dealt gently with him, silvering
his hair and some what enfeebling his frame,
it is true, but nevertheless leaving him, in
his seventy seventh year, in the enjoyment
Of all natural faculties.-Sdudnndh Herald.

WHAT NEXT ?-The real purpose of the
extreme men in Congress is to deprive all
who took part in the rebellion of the right
to vote, and to give the blacks and loyal
whites full and exclusive possession of po-
litical power in the southern States. The
Louisiana bill embodied this purpose and
passed the House by large majority.
JuSt as Sarely as the South rejects the terms
no,c offered, ,tiH that bill be reenacted. These
conditions may seem harsh, but those are
harsher. These may be unjust, humilia-
ting, repugnant to every sentiment of So
cial pride and self-respect-bu those are
more so.-Neao York Times.

THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WoRLD.-A
London journal says the young Lord Bel
grave, grandson of the Marquis Of West
minister, if he lives to inheret his patri-
mony, will be the richest man in the world.
The Marquis owns Belgravia, the fashiona-
BILE quarter of London, which now yields
an income of 9l 900 per day, and ten years
hence, by the lapse of ground leases, will
be ten or twenty times this amount. The
young heir is thirteen years of age. This
colossal fortune has been kept in the fami-
" and increased by intermarriage.

THE FLOOD AT THE WEsT.-The food in
the western waters is remarkable for its
continuance as we'll as its extent. For
three weeks the Ohio has been at flood
height, and the losses by the overflow of
bottom lands have been enormous. The
river was still rising at the close Of last
week, and greater disaster and more suffer
ing than have been known from this cause
for many years are apprehended.

more years than care TO remember, and We
have sent many thousands Of them tofrieuds who
were extending our circulation. rheip never was
but one testimony about them. They write with
unequaled ease and rapdtt, with almost, or if
you choose ,with quite the elasticity of quill, and
their durability is as remarkable as the nicely
of their workmanship. There is reason for this
perfection. Mr. rMoftons pens are made by ma
chinery of his invention, of the most costly and
delicate construction, which enable him to m Ike
pens at once better and cheaper than can be fab
ricaie by hand. They have superseded steel pens
with all VINO study excellence and economy, and
