A Strait.

In order to accomplish the admission
of the newly reconstructed States, So
called, it is necessary that Congress
should not only overstep the presidents,
and all the essential acquisitions Of the
Constitution touching that matter, but
besides repeal that part of its Recon-
struction laws which requires the new
States to ratify the XIVth Constitutional
amendment before admission. The ratl'
fcation can amount to nothing previous
to their admission as States And, even
if it could, the State Legislatures cannot
legally meet and act as such, until Con-
gress has signified its acceptance OF the
new constitutions. For this reason Gen.
Buchanan has very properly forbidden
the meeting of the new Legislature OF
Louisiana previously to such acceptance.
But Congress having provided already
that no State shall be admitted precedent
to its adoption Of the amendment, puts
things in rather "a FIX" Buchanan can
not do his duty and permit action in
Louisiana by body of pretended legs-
lators until Congress acknowledges the
existence Of State entitled to act by a
legi stature. And Congress must patch
again It's patch work laws, and repeal
that requisition as to the fourteenth
amendment, in order to get the State To-;

DEAR LEDGER: Upon leaving Memphis
promised you some dottings during my
peregrinations through the States Of Ten
nessee and Kentucky. Although not an
adept in this business, yet l will, from
time TO time, give you some gleanings
that may interest some Of your readers,
concerning the crops Of the country,
finances, politics, radicals, niggers, ku-
kluxes, and such other matters as the eye
may see, or the ear may hear.
After leaving Memphis, on the Mem
phis and Ohio railroad, l was particu-
larly struck with the small amount OF
cotton that Is Under cultivation between
Memphis aud Humboldt, and to find that
corn, wheat and oats had been substi-
tuted. This is exceedingly sensible, and
il continued from year to year, will soon
build up our war-worn and sorrow
stricken section Of country. Ever since
the war l have advocated the plan for
our people TO keep their corn cribs and
smoke-houses at home, instead Of draw
ing their supplies from the Northwest
Meat and bread must become primary
objects, and cotton secondary; otherwise
we must cont;nue 40 slaves for others.

I. cannot, fail to be jsat sfac.ory to
every reasonable mind ,Rskthe uomina-
ton of General Rosecrans as Minister
to Mexico has been confirmed. OF his
ability, fitness and merit there can be
no question. He is q well educated
soldier, an accomplished gentleman,
and his political record shows him to
have been in harmony with the great
mass Of loyal people during tho Wal and
since its termination. The fact Of his
being q Catholic may be regarded as
another advantage, as he is to represent
our Government in a Republic whose
people and functionaries are almost ex-
clusirely Of the same faith. Coming
from a Republic where all varieties Of
religious faith are respected, and beng
able to testify to the advantage of reli-
gious freedom and to the prosperity Of
his own Church under such q system,
General Rosecrans may influence the
leading minds among the liberal public
men Of Mexico, and thus help to end the
conflict between the clerical and liberal
parties, which has so often led to revo-
luton.
While the United States Government
is thus, at last, about to be we'll repre-
sented in Mexico, the Government Of
Great Britain refuses to send a minister
there. The difficulty seems to be one of
punctilio aud etiquette. England was
unnecessarily eager to recognize MAXI
milian's so-called Empire, thus affirming
her faith that the Republic was dead.
When Juarez assumed power as head
Of the Republic, in the Capital, Mr..
Scarlet, the British Minister accredited
to the Empire, was not acceptable to the
Republic, and all intercourse was
broken of. According to u minists'
rial statement in the House Of Com
mons, England will not ask fer
o renewal Of official intercourse.
She will wait for overtures from Mexico,
and these are not likely to come very
soon. In the meantime difficulties must
arise between the two countries, to set.
tie which fairly there can be no compe
tent authority. One of these led to
the recent blockade OF MazatlAn by II
British cruiser. 1t may be suggested
that Minister Rosecrans may do q valu-
able service 10 Mexico as well as 10
Great Britain, by offering his good
offices to bring about a re-establishment
Of friendly official relations between
them. Mexico, in setting out afresh rs
q liberal Government, oughtto have the
good feeling of all other liberal powers,
and there is no power in Europe whose
friendship can be Of more value to her
than Great Britain.
