it will require only a majority of the

ther, Judge Sharkey states that in

Citizens of Virginia, just arrived

They have no resource fer 1t except
by dividing the Radical negro inter-

to defeat the constitution, they will
give up the Congressional represen-
tation to the freedmen.
1t is apprehended, however, that
there are so many white Radicals in
each of the ten States who aspire TO

for the election of negroes can sue

Senator TrumbulL appeared for the

that this was not fnlanyssense a poll t.

little curious that Democrats are the only
ones who formally celebrate the two great

9th of January pow-wows this year, were
principally occupied in organizing raid
that is soon to be made on the public crib
and treasury, under the leadership of thoir
grsenback guerrilla, Pendleton.
And it is yet fresh in our memory how
the copperheads celebrated the Fourth of
July during the war. Their orators gen
orally took for their text, shat portion of
the Declaration Of Independence relating
to King George quartering troops among
u without our consent, and they would
go and charge the "tyrant Lincoln" with
the same crime, in connection with the
greater one Of sending the troops south to
fire upon Jour dear BRETHREN" who were
engaged in the "holy cause of eadeavor.

DISTRESS IN GNGLAND.-There is
extraordinary distress in all branches of
trade and industry in England, accom-
panied by a marked diminution of the
public revenues yet there is no financial
distress as that phrase is generally under
stood. Money Was never more abundant,
and there never was season when so
much capital was lying unemp loyed and
unproductive. With the exception of
Fenian scares there is no actual cause Of
alarm, yet the industry Of England is
more paralyzed than if the nation were
actually at war. This state Of thin g is
doubtless the result of previous over-pro-
duction, caused by thewar in this country.
Skilled laborers and their families are
actually Suffering for want of bread A
meeting was held about Christmas in
London, Of seven thousand shipwrights
of whom were then out of work, and
many had been so for six months. At
this meeting there were many touching

able to obtain work Chicago Tribune.

opinion is in all cases accompanied by an

ton that the right of an American citizen
