THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND.


BY the repOrto Secretary Seward, sent
to Congress Friday, it appears That
twenty~one States have given official no
tice of the ratification of the fourteenth
constitutional amendment. Maine has
ratified the amendment, but has neglect
ed to give official notification to the State
Department Iowa will soon ratify it
making twenty.three States. 1t will be
seen from our dispatches that the Ohio
House of Representatives on Saturday
rescinded the resolution ratifying the
amendment. As the Democrats have
majority in the Senate, it is probable this
resolution will be adopted by that body,
and thus will 0hio's sanction of the pro-
posed amendment be Withdrawn. 1t is
thought that New Jersey, whose Legis-
lature is Democratic, will also reseind its
ratification of the amendment
Mr.. Sumner offered a Joint resolution
in the Senate Saturday, declaring the
fourteenth amendment ratified, and a
part of the constitution. This assump-
ton will be pressed upon the ground that
the Southern States are not States.

vention to-day a resolution appointing a
committee to inquire into the propriety of
relieving Virginia from debt Incurred prior
or during the war was introduced and laid
over The amendment embodying the re-
cognition of dury in the bill of rights was

GINA shall ever remain one of the United
States, and substitute to the effect that
the government of the United States can
only be dissolved by consent Of majority,
or by armed revolution. Both were intro

THE RADICALS AND RECONsTRUC-
TON


The Washington Star states that an
informal caucus of several Senators was
held on the Sth inst to decide upon some
definite amendment to the reconstruction
law. The most extreme Senators advo-
Gated passing simple bill abolishing all
civil State government in the South, and
commence the entire work of reconstruct
ton over again, but putting the new plan
in such shape that it would not be in the
power Of the President to interfere with
the work This, however, was not agreed
to, and the meeting broke up without
coming to any definite conclusion In
regard to the efforts of the Radicals in
this direction, the Cincinnati CONNER
cial says
Congress is still tinkering the recon-
struction law, snd sdaily doing something
to show the Southern people that it is
without clearly understood and settled
policy. Several schemes are afioat TO con-
fer additional power upon General Grant,
but DO law of Congress can make the Gen
eral Of the army any thing but a subordi
nate of the President Of the United States.
Congress must 90 back to the constitutional
amendment Of the thirty ninth Congress,
which received the Endorsement Of the
people, or associate with impartial suf-
frage universal amnesty. An attempt to

DURING the siege of Petersburg, Bowden,
a negro soldier, was missing and supposed
to have been killed. Recently he turned
up alive and claims Communication money
for rations for the whole time up to the
period his regiment was discharged. The
Second Controller and Adiutant General
Townsend decided he had no claims on the
government, he having been a slave after
his capture at Petersburg, until the Con-
federate army surrendered. Bowden has
asked for a reconsideration of his case,
which has been referred to the Adiutant
Generals Office by order of Gen. Grant.

POLITICAL. sPECULATIONs.

The New York Herald of the 10th. in
reviewing the action of the late Demo-
cratic Conventions in the Western States,
gives general glance at the issues which
are foreshadowed, and the men whose
names are being discussed in connection
with the Presidential contest of this year.
1t concludes as follows
Andrew Johnson, on the other hand, has
a record against the rebellion, from its in
ception to its collapse, which places him
among the first, the most Jealous and the
most efficient leaders of the Union party
of the war. The Indiana Democrats,
therefore, in putting johnson first and
Hancock second in their resolutions. evil
IDENTIFY intend to throw out the hint that
for the national Democracy and all the
other political elements of the country op-
posed to the perpetuation of the Radicals
in power, the true Union Conservative
ticket is this:
For RreSident-Andrew johnson, of Ten
nessee.
For Vice President Winfield Scott Han
cock, of Pennsylvania.
A resolution of half dozen lines from
our Assembly at Albany, looking in this
direction, would settle the question at once
and why not Seymour and Pendleton,
pitted against each other in the national
party convention, will both be knocked on
the head, and at last some obscurity who
has no record, or Andrew Johnson, an old
jackson Democrat whose record will stand
the fire, will have to be nominated. If the
Democrats of New York, therefore, desire
the honor of naming their party ticket for
the Presidency, they have only, in the
Legislature now in session, to proclaim the
ticket of johnson and Hancock, on the
platform of the outspoken Democracy of
the West. John Van Buren's nomination
of johnson, in 1865 now stands proved by
recent and passing events as the inspira-
ton of prophet.

HUME, Che historian, said there is an
ultimate point of elevation and depres-
sion in human affairs, beyond which a
people cannot go. We are rapidly APP
preaching the nadir of depression; and
and when the people of the Union enter
upon the rebound, it will be to Radical
spouting in Congress about reconstruc-
ton, like the spouting of the vexed ard
wounded whale under the fragile ships

reconstruction, cotton~taxes, tariffs, me-

lr was stated a few days ago that the
President had nominated c. G. Green, of
the Boston Post to be Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. This is probably
a mistake. A Washington special of the
10th inst to the Cincinnati Gazette says
THE vote by which Edmund Cooper
was rejected as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, leaves no hope that he can Sc
cure a reconsideration. The manner in
which be was appointed impresses Sena-
tors with theidea that the President means
TO force him into Office against the will of
the Senate. If be persists, it is thought be
may be trying to keep the place under the
statute Of 1898. Congress will abolish the

REMOVAL OF GOV. JENKINS-RE-
PORTED INTERFERENCE OF THE
PRESIDENT.

Gen. Meade removed Gov. Jenkins, Of
Georgia, on Saturday, and designated
Brig. Gen Dunn, Adjutant General under
Pope, as his successor. The removal
was made because the Governor would
not pay the expenses of the Georgia Re-
construction Convention. There is no
law, State or national, requiring him to
pay the expenses of the convention; On
the contrary the reconstruction law
authorizes the convention to levy a tax
for such purpose 1t is stated that Gov
Jenkins declared that he would not subs
NIT to the order, and had telegraphed the
President for protection against any at
tempt to forcibly dispossess him. 1t was
further said, he intended to test the
legality of the removal by aqao aoarranto.
The removal created intense excitement
in Atlanta and Augusta, though the At
lanta papers of Sunday morning are as
silent as the grave upon the subject
It will be seen from our dispatches
this morning, that Atlanta reports gave
out that the President has directed Gen.
Meade to suspend his order removing
Gov Jenkins The next best thing the
President can do is to suspend Meade, if
he continues to rule in that style. The
dispatches also state that Gen Grant has
sanctioned the removal of the State
Treasurer of Georgia. 1t is to be hoped
the President will Immediately possess
himself of all the facts, and if he has the
authority, arrest these high-handed pro-
ceedings at once. One vigorous blow for
State rights now, would thrill the nation
till November.
