General Grant admitted that il was his expac-

Gene raj Grant assigned reasons for the omis-

Gen. Sherman, and he expected that Geueral

NEw YORK, Feb. 1.-THE World has the fol-
lowing special from Montgomery Alabama:
The defeat Of the constitution is admitted by
the Radical candidates. The vote less than the
required half is variously estimated from ten
TO twenty three thousand. The white vote so
far, does not exceed one 10 every one hundred
and nifty negroes.
The Herald says that Congress will not let

Roard on account of the hasco in Alabama In
considers that the result I'm Alabama Is n fore.
runner of what will follow i'm the other pro-
scribed States.
The Tribune awaits more definite information
and reserves comments
The Times in commenting upon the defeat of
the Alabama Constitution says that il has been
suggested thai Congress should now pass a spe-
cial enactment To admit that Statp. and tha,
there is no cause why all Of the unreconstruct-
ed States should not be admitted upon the same
basis. This scheme of admitting Alabama
means the opening OF the whole question of re.
construction. The Times in favor of keeping
the ten rebellious States ont Of the Union un iii
they return with the consent OF their own peo-
pie.
The World says that il these sham proceedings
are continued much longer the North will riss
and protest against them that the measure was
defeated by the whites who refused TO take part
in The proceedings. .|."
