Amendments To the Reconstruc-

The special to tho Cincinnati Ga.
zette Of Tuesday, has the following:
"The Supplemental Reconstruction
bill Of the Senate, was agreed to in
the House this afternoon, with three
amendments, as follows: First, a
change in the oath to be taken, at the
time Of registration, to cover the case
Of certain persons in Virginia, who
have held State Offices, but never
sworn to support the Constitution of
the United States; second, a change
so that new Constitutions must be
ratified by majority of all register
cd voters; and third, an addition pro.
viding that false swearing under the
act shall be punished as perjury, The
Senate, at late hour of the day,
agreed to the 6rst aud third amend
monts of the House without division,
and disagreed to the second one by
vote of rs to %. The question as
to tho number of votes necessary for
the ratification of the Constitution ia,
therefore, the only matter of differ
enco between the two branches, The
House by a vote of 9S to 2s, Insists
that it shall require majority Of the
whole number Of registered electors,
while the Senate insists, when all
members in the city are present, by a
vote Of % to "a, that it may be by a
majority of votes cast at the said cleo
ton, provided that at least half of
all who are registered must vote on
tho question OF ratification. The bill
goes to the House again tomorrow
morning. If that body recedes on
this poiut the measure is ready for
the President. N If it refuses to recede
as il probably will, the bill must go
into a committee Of conference. A
strong effort will SO made TO dispose
of the subject some way tomorrow.

the hope Of ultimately defeating the

then, the more reason why tho Union

General Robert Il. Lee and other
prominent Virginians, have issued an
address to the ''parents and public
Of Virginia" on the subject Of educa-
tion. Here is sensible paragraph
from their address
"An essential part Of the education
Of youth is to teach thom to serve
themselves, and to impress upon them
the fact that nothing good can be dc-
qwired ja his portd loithom labor,
aud that tho very necessaries and
comforts of life must be procured by
earnest and regular exertion. They
should also be taught to know that
after having been reared and educated
by their pa. ents they should not ex-
pect them to provide further for them,
aud that their further subsistence
and Advancement must depend upon
themselves"
This is wholesome and rather upu
sual advice for the Southern people,
and wo trust they may prof. by it.
