ALABAMA To BE IN THE UNION SooN.-
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times writes:
Vigorous efforts are making here to Sc
cure the ratification of the constitution and
the success of the party in the Alabama
election which occurs ON the 4th proximo.
A large sum of money and thousands doc
uments have been forwarded to that State,
and the determination of Congress is to
have it admitted into the Union before the
close ofFebruary. Should it happen that
majority of the registered voters do not
vote, but majority of those who do be cast
for the constitution, bill will be promptly
passed by Congress declaring the constitu-
ton ratified, and the State entitled to rep
resentation on the ground that majority
of votes cast should determine the matter,
and that the apathy or hostility of the enc
mics of reconstruction should no longer be
allowed to postpone it. There is great
anxiety in Congress to get one State in the
Union-more than there will be to get the
balance in-as it is looked upon as the one
certain way of setting all doubts as to the
success of reconstruction under the plan oil
Congress, and as dissipating all prospect Of
an unfavorable decision from the Supreme
Court"

MINORITY REPORT OF THE COMMIT.
TEE ON SUFFRAGE.


The undersigned, majority of the COM
mittee on suffrage and Eligibility to Of
fee" regretting that, they have been unable
to concur with the majority of the commit
tie, beg leave to submit the following report ::
We cannot view, without serious appre-
hension, the admission to all the highest
rights and privileges of citizenship of q race,
consisting almost entireiy of these recently
emerged from slavery and untitled by pre-
yious education and habits of thought and
self-reliance, for the intelligent discharge OF
the duties and responsibilities, which would
devolve upon them. ~
We do not regard the right to vote as ma
tural Or inherent, but conventional merely
to be regulated in such way as will best pro-
mote the welfare of the whole community.
Upon this principle, women and minors have
been excluded. Is there any reason why the
negro should be advanced to a higher posi-
ton While we do not deny that there are
individuals of that class who might be ex-
pected to express their own convictions at
the balIot-box, still the great mass of them
are so ignorant and prejudiced that they
easily become the dupes of designing adven-
turers and demagogues, and through secret
associations, introduced from Northern
/ States, merely follow the instructions, and
reflect the views of those who control them
We believe that the blessings we have de-
rived from our government have been due to
the virtue, intelligence and independence Of
those invested with the right of suffrage
and we treinble for the safety of republican
institutions, when it shall be determined to
4 confer this trust upon those, who mentally
and morally are unfit to administer it Il

The cry for relief comes up from all sections
OF the country. Gentlemen tell us that this
demand is SO imperative that if some means are
not devised to relieve the debtor portion of our
population, there will be serious danger of the
constitution which we are about to adopt being
defeated
In the first place, do not believe any eucb
thing as the defeat of reconstruction is to be an
pretended. Every interest of the State and of
the people demands its adoption, ana even if
constitution should be agreed upon objection
bic in many features I am satisfied that it
would DC ratified by the people to avoid an inf
nltely greater evil. This question of relief mer-
lite our most careful consideration If apy relief
can be afforded, and it lies in the power of this
convention to afford it, it is already the duty of
the Convention to de SO But what means of re-
lief are proposed9 1t is easy enough to say that
reilef must be extended, but it is quite another
thing to suggest the method of accomplishing il.
ana DO justice to all parties. Does any one pro-
pose repudiation :? There is the Constitution of
the United States staring us in the face with the
provision that no State shall pass any law i'm

appears Certain, that when she enters the
Union again, which was broken MP by the re-
Delllon, she stands under the same constitution

hepuHation is then out of the question. Some
suppose that legislation of some kind or other

the result Of all stay-laws which have been passed
heretoforey Have they bettered the condition of
me people? Were debtors better able to paw
their debts after the expiration of the the time
allowed by stay-laws Our experience has
SHOWN us the contrary. Stay-laws only put offthe
evii day, and in the meantime interest Is running
up. IN many cases the debtor hopes by hook or
ny crook to get rid of paying his honest debts al
together, Confidence is lost between man and

country Is paralyzed. Gold and silver have been

WAsHINGToN, August 0. 9.-Yesteriay morn.
the Attorney. General was, for the first time
requested in writing, by the Secretary of
the Treasury, to give his official opinion in
the case Of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. The questions asked are, whether
the office is now vacant and whether the
President may fill it if vacant2 He will
probably give no opinion on either one un-
til the entire ground covered by the subject
is thoroughly studied.
As the Attorney General wishes to give
the subject grave consideration, it will pro-
badly be Friday before an opinion is deliv-
cred.
1t was decided at the Cabinet meeting on
Friday last. that circular order should he
issued relative to the disturbances in the
Southern States, and the demand by the
Governors thereof upon the President for
troops. This order is now being prepared
hy the Secretary of War, and will be issued
in few days.
1t is understood that the Mr.. johnson has
concluded to recognize the State govern.
ments now in force in the South as legiti-
mate, and an order from the War Office
will be shaped in view. 1t will be address
ed to the military commanders now in the
South, and will intruct them to furnish
troops for the preservation of order and the
execution of the laws, to the Governors of
the States when they are properly applied

From the Pittsburg Papers, Aug. 8.
The cattle disease, which has occupied so
large share of public attention during the
past few days, is still anxiously discussed
among all classes, and reliable information
concerning it is eagerly sought for. In this
city prompt and efficient means were taken
to displace the diseased animals, as soon as
the symptoms were sufficiently developed
and also to prevent the spread of the conta.
gion to other herds Yesterday Mr. Hosack,
the Meat Inspector, visited the stock yards
at East Liberty, and killed the remainder
of the eighteen car loads which had been
diseased. Thirty. eight head were killed
yesterday, and yesterday evening the yards
were entirely cleared and renovated.
One hundred and forty head were shipped
East to Communipaw, near Jersey City, to
grease and bone boiler at that place, who
paid $2S per head, while the price paid
here was only So per head. These were
shipped in separate cars, and the cars will
not be used again for shipping cattle un-
til thoroughly renovated, and until suffi
cient time has elapsed to warrant their safe
use for that purpose. Of the entire lot of
eighteen cars, Mr.. Horst owned forty one
head, of which eleven died and one was
killed, the balance being sen. East. of the
lot belonging to Mr.. Alexander, two hun
| uGeu ana lWeUty-luTte were COnueDuelt, dui
but one hundred and forty sent East, the
remainder either having died or been killed
by order of the Meat Inspector. One lot
belonging to Mr.. D. Croft passed on direct
ly East, not having been re-shipped at East
! Liberty. and the number is unknown, and
it is reported that several had died before
passing east of the Central Stock Yards.
The lot of one hundred and forty head
shipped at Communipaw, went by special
train, and telegraphic advices and orders
were sent ahead to all points, and to the
yards at Jersey City.
The Mayor has stationed policemen at the
East Liberty Yards, to see that none Of the
carcasses are disposed of for any other pur.
pose than that of conversion into grease,
&c, and a special policeman is stationed at
the establishments where the rendering pro
cess is carried on. The disease, thus far,
has not Been developed among our native
cattle and it is safe to conclude that, unless
we have fresh importations of affected stock,
the danger of contagion has been averted.
We do not entertain for one moment the
idea that single particle of the flesh OF
these animals can, either purposey or acci-
dentally, find its way to the meat market.
There is an extremely limited demand for
cattle, and the best and most healthy stock
is purchased very cautiously anG scrutiniz-
ingy by our butchers. The consumption
OF meat has fallen off in marked degree.

Diseased Reeves.

During the past week we have had re-
ports from the West and Southwest of dis
eased cattle being on their way eastward to
market. The majority of our citizens
were inclined to look upon these rumors as
in the interest of drovers and butchers, for
the purpose of raising the price of beef 1t
seems, however, that the alarm has good
foundation. In New York city the Board
of Health has taken the matter in hand,
though advices received there stating that
a large number of beeves from the West,
designed for that city and Philadelphia,
were diseased. Acting promptly, the board
ordered an inspection of the drove yards,
and, by telegraph, requested Governor Fen.
ton, of New York; Ward, of New Jersey,
and Gcary, of Pennsylvania, to have oil stock
trains inspected at the principal stations
along the railroad routes. This action of the
New York Board Of Health is wise, and We
hope that our own authorities will take
immediate steps in the matter. While we
have this hot weather upon US, it is proper
that they should make every effort to avoid
the Introduction of any extra ills into our
midst.
If the beeves now on their way East are
affected by disease we do not want them in
our markets, and until it is satisfactorily
ascertained by competent authority that the
meat Of such ill favored kline" is excluded
from our stalls, we would advise our citizens
to let all beef alone. We now have a plcnti.
full supply of healthy vegetables, and at this
time of the year they are more conducive to
the sanitary condition of the community
than all the meats paraded in our markets
