"Mr. bingham had proposition that

did not bring before the House, although
he announced his purpose Of doing so AS

Alabama Constitution has been lost, il
was TO admit Representatives from that
State as soon as the Legislature just cho-

conditions, viz: Ratify the pending
fourteenth amendment TO the Federal Con-

Gen. Meade telegraphcd to the army
headquarters that be is not certain whoth
or the Constitution has been ratified or
rejected F.; he says that half those origin
ally registered have probably voted, but
a considerable number Of names were
added to the registry lists on their rcvis-
ion, and he has a doubt it half the aggrc-
gate number have cast their ballots. lie
also says that it is reported to him that
in many counties the polls were not
opened on the fourth day Of the election,
and that in some they were not opened
at all on either day, lie is investigating
these reports and if he finds them true
will order special elections in those coun-
ties, so that all persons entitled TO do so
can have Il chance TO vote.

which any regiment participated it would

correctly. The l7,h W. Regiment left

has two articles which are OF immediate
interest One of these is entitled "Or.

there is II call i'll the counir for the es-
adjustment Cfa Board Of National Cen
sors, who shall be to the country what
the Citizens Committee is to New York
City. The ;uggesIion is quite novel, and
will probably cali out a very considerable
discussion. The other paper is upon the
Episcopal Clergy of New York, AMI is a
singularly fair exposition of the Rituals
tic movement. Mrs Prescott Spoifjri's
powerful story, 'The Thief in the Night"
is also continued, and increases decidedly
in interest. A beautiful little song j.
woven into the texture Of Chapter VI -

1t consists, in part, of II vivid description
