WHO ARE EXCLUDED FROM FoTlNG BE THE CossTI-
rUT1osAL AMENDMENT-lt is believed our people do
not generally understand who affected by the
'stitutona amendment and excluded from office, and
from the ballot bog by the late bill.
The following persons are excluded:
|. All persons who, before the war, members
of Congress officers Of the United States, and af
terwards engaged in the rebellion.
2. All persons who, prior to the gar, were execu-
tive legislative judicial officers of the state and
took the like oath, and engaged in the rebellion.
This embraces Governors, members Of the .legisla-
talre and judicial officers from Judge of the Supreme
Court down to justice of the peace, who at any time
held the Office and took the oath, and afterwards en-
gagged in the rebellion
Who then, are not excluded?
|. No one is excluded because he held an Office
under the Confederate States from President down, if
he does not fall within one of the excluded classes
above specified. The simple fact that he was Con-
federate Senator or Confederate General or that he
took an oath to support the Constitution of the Con-
federate States, does not exclude him.
g. No State or county officer is included account
of bis having held office and taken the oath and
gagged in the rebellion, if he not executive, le-
gislative orudcia officer; therefore, neither law
yer sheriff. clerk tax collector receiver county treas
urer, coroner, surveyor, constable or road commls-
sioner is excluded.
g. As no man under twenty lone years OF age, when
the war begun held any such office disqualified and
none of them took the oath to support the Conststu=
ton of the United States darirg the war; and as the
war commenced nearly six years ago, man in
Georgia. under twentyseyen years Of age can be ex-
cuded
L. Military officers are not excluded
g. The whole mass of our people, who fall within
none of the excluded classes above mentioned, are
free from disqualification, and may vote and hold any
Office in the State without regard to the part they took
in the war. Atlanta (Ga.) New Era,

How SENATOR SHERMAN REPLIED TO SENATOR SUN
NER.-Mr. Sherman made a brief but powerful speech
in opposition the idea Of Mr. Sumner that recon-
srction must embrace any extensive dsfranchisement
of rebels. lie reminded that gentleman that he had
pleaded often and eloquently for arming the negro
with the ballot the great panacea for the South, but
that now, for the first time in legislation, the op
portuny offered him, he olnd fault with the bill
as 'horrd!y detecve.n He was ready to meet the
issue boldly. Nothing could be more impressive and
touching than his picture of the PROSTATE condition of
the South, and his eloquent appeal, if this was not
enough, that must seek to put the white men of
the South under the control Of their late slaves No
community, 10 legislature, no convention demanded
it, and he boldly announced that American Con-
gress would be guilty of such enormity, which he
showed opposed to the republican form Of gov
ernment that the Massachusetts Senator so often in
sisted We give, be said, the negro the ballot the
school, the protection of the law; but this nation
would never consent to put white men under his do
mination. The Senate galleries were crowded, the
lobby filed with members of the House and other
distinguished persons, and the entire audience was
held ri7eted by tue rapidly spoken, forcbly and i'm
passioned speech Of the Senator Of Ohio, which de-
to be ranked among the noted efforts of the
palmiest days Of the Senate. We heard it with but
one regret; that who manifestly sympathised
with bis suffering countrymen is not willing freely and
at to trust them with the undcniable right of
freedom and selfgoyernmcnt.

THE PRESIDENT. AND HIS IMPE ACHERs.-A Boston
Radical paper having said that what the President
most breads is inpeachment the New York Times re-
plies, 'there was greater mistake" The
Times adds
Not many days ago, the President remarked that
he considered it matter Of much more Importance
to Congress than to him whether he npeached
not. He has not the slightest apprehension Of
being convicted of any misdemeanor misconduct
of any kind upon any testimony that any honest
could deem fair and reliable; and if he is convicted
otherwise, the odium that will follow such action will,
in his opinion far outweigh any punishment that can

GEN. LEE on RECoNsrRUCTIoN.-A Richmond dis
patch of the 22d says ''It will be authortatively
announced to morrow that General Lee is in favor of
the people voting for convention, and that he thinks
every man, not actually disfranchsed, should not on
ly take the necessary steps to prepare himself but to
prepare all his friends, white and colored, to vote
right. He thinks the cooperation of all the people,
officials and citizens should be prompt, and that the
chief object should be to get, quickly and quietly
as possible back into the Union with such rights

simple matter of truth and duty as a citizen of the

When contemplate the millions of our feliow-citi-
zens of the South with alternative left but 10 i'm
pose upon themselves this fearful and untred expert
ment Of complete negro eranchisement and white
disranchsement (it may be almost compete) or sub
nit indefinitely to the rigor of martial law, without
single attribute of freemen deprived of all the sacred
guarantees Of Federal Constitution and threatened
with wrongs, it seems to me their coudl-
ton is the most deplorable to which any people can
be reduced.
1t is true that they have been engaged in rebellion,
aud that in their attempt to bring about separation
of the States and dissolution of the Union there was
obligation resting upon every loyal citizen to treat
them as enemies and to wage war against their cause
Infexibly opposed to any movement importing the
integrity of the Government, did not hesitate to urge
the adoption Of all necessary for the sup
preston of the insurFecon. After long and terri
BILE struggle the efforts of the Government triun
phant and successful and the people of the South,
submitting to the stern arbtrament, yielded forever
the issues of the contest. Hoses terminated soon
after it became my duty to assume the responsibilities
of the chief executive officer OF the republic and at
endeayored to repress and control the passions
which civil strife had engendered and, no longer re-
garding these erring millions as enemies, again ac
knowledged them our friends and our countrymen
| The war had accomplished its object; the nation
saved and that cardinal principle OF mlschlel
which from the birth ofhe Government had gradually
but inevitably brought the rebellion was totaiiy
eradicated Then it seemed to me, the ansplcous
time to commence the work OF reconstruction; then
when these people sought once more our friendship
and protection considered it our duty generously to
meet them in the spirit of charity and forgiveness and
to conquer them even etfectually by the magma
nimty of the nation than by force of its arms
