THE FOURTEENTH CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.-Under the present reconstruction acts
the election of a Democratic legislature 10
Georgia is as insuperable an obstacle to to the
admission of that States Senators and
Representatives to Congress as the defeat
of the cons titution would have been. The law
prescribes among the other conditions pre-
cedent, the ratification of the fourteenth amend
naent to the United States constitution. not on
ly by the State applying for admission, but by
sufficient number of all the States to give
The amendment validity. If as reporte
by telegraph the Democrats control the
legislature of Georgia there il no hope
that favorable action will be taken, and the
admission of the State will be postponed till
a new and loyal legislature is elected or the
law is changed by Congress. No donbt
this condition will be waived as soon as States
enough besides Georgia give their assent TO
the amendment: twenty-eight States are re-
quired for this purposs, AMI Only twenty-three
have taken favorable action including Arkan-
sas. But North and South Carolina and
Louisiana will probably give their assent
within a short time, Iowa as soon as her
legislature meets, and Alabama and Misssip-
pi as soon as they are in condition to do SO,
and these additions will more than make up
the number required.

PORTLAND AND RUTLAND RauRoAD.-An
adjourned meeting of the Portland and Rut-
land Railroad Company was held at the recep-
ticn room. City Hall, yesterday morning. John
Neal, Esq, was called to the chair. The Con-
vention was addressed by Messrs Latham, C.
E.. of Lowell, Towle of Freedom, Ridlon OF
Parsonsield, L. d. Stacy of Porter, Davis of
Parsonsfield, and J. C. Woodman of Portland.
MIR. Latham represented the route from Dam
bury to Centre Harbor as extremely feasible.
The other gentlemen spoke chiefly of the re-
sources of the Ossipee valley. MIR. Stacy pre-
sented petition, bearing about seventy
names, praying for the building of the road
Our reporter was unable to hear the greater
portion of Mr.. Woodman's remarks, but un-
derstood that he did not believe in the Notch
route, distrusted the managers of the Rutland
route, and in general had a very poor opinion
vf the integrity ana sense of the great mass of
his fellow citizens. -'s

to Europeans during our own late civil war. But
he has been removed from the executive con-
troll of Cuba. Those who have now the power
to remove him took an active share in the
Intervention campaign against Mexico, and
encouraged the policy and wrong ideas Of
Napoleon as set forth in his letter to General
Forey, July 8, 1862, that the United States
should not be allowed "to grasp the whole
Gulfof Mexico, rule thence the Antilles as well
as South America, and be the sole dispenser
of the products of the New World" We
have no idea of doing any of these things; our
motto is now '.Let us have peace" and not
"rEmpir0 c'est Etpfe." General Lersundi has
understood this; and if by his removal the
Prim junta mean to follow up the vicious plan
laid out by the Condo de Reus and Napoleon
ILL.,, they will find that the people of the
Antilles as well as Mexico prefer to be
annexed to the American Union. They have
had enough of bull fighting, cock fighting and
all other kinds Of political gambling. Our
motto is peace-a good piece of Spanish
America If order cannot be preserved on the
Continent otherwise.

The Approaching Election. in England.

The Approaching Elections in England.
Our latest Geographic news from England
shows that the canvass is becoming active.
The tide seems to be carrying Gladstone to
victory. The liberals are now certain to carry
all before them at the polls. 1t will not be
surprising If Mr.. Gladstone finds himself,
when the new House of Commons assemblies,
at the head Of q party which viii command
a majority the like of which has not been
witnessed in England for many long years
On one question at least that party will be
found to act as one man. They will not have
this man Disraeli to rule over them. A vote
Of want Of confidence will be one Of the first
make William Ewart Gladstone Prime Minister
of the British empire.
1t would be absurd, however, to imagine
that the liberals, with Mr.. Gladstone at their
head, are to have it all their own way. Mr..
Disraei is not the man to give up his place to
Mr. Gladstone or any other man without o
struggle. Tenacity is characteristic of the
race of which he is an ilustrious son, and a
genius so fertile as his in expedents will not
find it hard to devise policy which, if it does
not secure victory to himself, will be certain
to give trouble to his opponents.
The immediate war will be waged on the Irish
Church. On this question Mr., Gladstone will
bring all his forces to bear. y il not difficult,
however, to see that the fate Of the Irish
Church is inseparably linked with the fate of
Church establishments all over Great Britain.
The fall of the Irish Church will be the death
knell of every ecclesiastical establishment
throughout the British empire. This Mr..
Disraeli knows, and it will not be wonderful
if the ingenious Jew by dexterous flank
movement out-Gladstones Gladstone. Mr..
Gladstone, by keeping his eye steadily fixed on
one object, has so far given unity to his party ;
but the question now at issue between them
is so large and involves so many consequences
that we are fully prepared for Disraeli sur
prise. Mr.. Gladstone is certain to be sue
cessful at the polls; it is almost certain that
he will be forced into power by vote Of the
House Immediately after it assemblies but it
is far from certain that the result of the Irish
Church debate will not be compromise in
which Mr.. Gladstone will only have secondary
hOnors

The New Revolution i'm Cuba and Mexico.
In another part Of this mornings HERALD
will be found two important cable dispatches
about the state Of affairs newly created in Cuba
and Mexico by revolutionary ideas. As things
stand now republication holds the better
ground; for Generals Santa Anna and Taboada
have been forced by Captain General Lersundi
to leave the island of Cuba. They undertook
from Havana to get up revolution in Mexico
that would set the country ablaze and either
drive the Juarez government out or leave not
even stubble field for Uncle Sam to buy or
annex. The material for such blaze was
fixed in the States Of Vera Cruz, Puebla,
Mexico, Queretaro, Tamaulipas and on the
Rio Grande frontier. Those whose torches
were to fire the Juarez fabric were Dominguez
and Prieto, Negrete and Lucas, Rivera, Var
gas, Quiroga, Canales and others. The torch
in each case was to be the alleged illcgality in
the election of the State governors. The scheme
was vast, but the schemers near sighted; for a
spy managed to cut the train. And at the
very time we all thought Mexico an entire prey
to rebellious flame that republic was merely
indulging in rare show of fireworks at Santa
Annals expense. AS Colonel Padillas evil
dence shows, they were set off by the Mexican
government ITSELF The greasers were at first
startled, finally amused, and Santa Anna has
been shipped off by Captain General Lersundi
to ST. Thomas. There the old hero can learn
from experience and from Mother Nature that
the train Of any earthquake political or other
wise, must be laid deeply out Of sight.
There Is one strange feature, however, about
the news from Mexico published In this morn
ing's HERALD. II Is that Governor Hernandez
y Hernandez, Of Vera Cruz, means to resign
because Colonel Dominguez has been pardoned
by President Juarez for his completely in the
late revolt in the State of Vera Cruz The
Governor must know fully as well as we do
here that when Santa Anna determined upon
getting up first class Mexican cock fight the
wickedest men in that most wicked country
would indulge his fancy and take his money.
However, like members Of our New York So
cicty for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals,
they stopped the game before the headless and
one-legged rooster, Santa Anna himself could
get into the pit. Governor Hernandez must
not be too sensitive, for Colonel Domngucz has
been pardoned because he helped to draw out
Santa Anna's plans aud secrets. The legality
Of the Governors election was assailed by the
rebels only as stepping stone to the assault
upon the validity of Juarez's own election.
Such, indeed, was Santa Anna plan for all the
States, as has been diyulged by Colonel
Padilla.
II Is not little strange TO find one like
Captain Geperal Lersundi putting down raid
against republcansm on this Continent. Full
credit must be given him for having preserved
the neutrality Of Spain in manner unknown

WHAT TUE BOYS THINK OF Ir.-Walking
behind three boys on their way to o political
meeting the other evening, we overheard one
Of them announce the proposed withdrawal of
the names Of Seymour and Blair from the
democratic Presidential ticket. After few
minutes Of silent astonishmcnt with which the
news was received by his companions the

America" thus expressed the popular demo-
cratic sentiment more truly than Barlow & Co.
are aware. But so far as the portraits on the
banners are concerned, they might serve as
well for any other original as for Seymour aud
Blair. The resemblance would be equally
striking and exact BY the bye, IL is histori-
caly curious that the physiognomy Of these
portraits on the banners of the German demo-
cratic clubs Is Enthusiastically German, while on
the banners of the Irish democratic clubs 1t Is
no less Enthusiastically Iria!,-

Return Of John Quincy Adams from the
South.

1stsbfH u john VuHcy SAucmS isOin inc
South.
II seems that Mr. John Quincy Adams has
returned hurriedly from the South without full
filing all his engagements or complying with
invitations to address the people at different
points. The reason for this sudden change Of
base in Mr.. Adams movements is alleged to
be the necessity of his presence North in con-
sequence of the unmitigated middle into which
the democratic party has been plunged by the
silly and criminal operations of certain addle-
pated leaders and jobbing newspaper organs.
This may or not be the case. But if we were
to put in guess as to the cause Of Mr.. Adams'
premature return we would ascribe it to the
lukewarmness Of Mr.. AS reception at the
hands Of the leading Southern organs during
his brief sojourn in the sunny land. Mr.
Adams no doubt told the Southern iire-eaters
some unpalatable truths which they could not
swallow like sugar-coated pills, but in regard
to which they did not exactly feel justified in
obeying their natural intincts and resenting on
the spot. Mr.. AS visit, however, brief as
it has been, together with his plain spoken
utterances, may afford food for reflection
among the candid men of the South and even
tually be productive Of much good.

VEsUvIUs OUTDoNE.-The eruption in tho
democratic party goes ahead Of the eruption of
Vesuvius and the stirring up of South America
and all the other recent shaking up wonders.
The red hot lava threatens to scorch multi
tudes of people out of comfortable places, and
the sulphurous gas is eloquent of the future,
while astonishing party mummeries come into
thellght Tilden, who was still mummy twenty
years ago, is thrust upon us, and that other
dead man Pendleton-H Hoffman shakes skele-
ton hands up and down to no purpose. The
only live man left Of the democracy is Blair,
who swears terribly that he won't resign and
won't die, but means to live to see Grant shot.
Nay, he takes an early revenge on the radicals
by putting on record his prediction that they
viii assassinate Grant within two years.

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE HANDS OF
THE BoHEhnANs.-All must now see the dire
full consequences of trusting the interests Of q
great political party to Bohemians and gypsies.
hungry tricksters who dabble in necromancy
and who venture even to conjure up bogus
earthquakes in New Granada. These Bohe-
mians and gypsies always liye from hand to
mouth, pitching their tents here and there at
random, and folding them and stealing silently
away to squat elsewhere, whenever the poultry,
pigs and sheep of the neighborhood become
TOO suspiciously scarce. With no settled pur-
pose' with no definite policy, with only selfish
motives, such people are equally unreliable
and dangerous. 1t is not surprising that Oh
the eve of momentous Presidential election
they have betrayed all who had indiscreetly
conided in them. They have thus (although.
perhaps, half unwittingly) caused in the
democratic party convulsion infinitely more
real and terrible than any New Granada earth
quakes which they could invent.

The Fifth District" Come One, Come AM,

The Fifth District" Come One, Come Anv'
The irrepressible George Francis Train, hav.
ing been notified by cable despatch of his nomi-
nation to Congress in the Fifth district of this
city, has replied TO the committee, accepting the
nomination. He adds, however, that although
he had offered the money to pay all claims
against him, it had been refused as his impris-
onment is for purely political reasons. John
Morrisscy, the candidate for reelection to
Congress In the Fifth district, will thus have
the advantage over George Francis Train 90
long as the latter IL held in durance vile. A
high old district is the Fifth, and there can be
no lack Of aspirants to represent il in Congress.
Johnny Allen for instance, might be put mp
for it, Notwithstanding his modestly avowed
reluctance to intermeddle with politics. The
State Prison and the Pcnitcntary might supply
representative men for the post. Or il,
like Stcrncs startling in the Bastile, they
'cant get out search for 'the wckedcst
man down South or out West as q suitable
candidate might prove successful. II, how
ever, no vagsbond can be imported for the
purpose, and if Train, Morrisscy and Allen
should all retire from the contest, why should
not Miss Susan Anthony seize the opportunity
to become n candidate for the Fifth district?
