A New s'WHITE HOUSE" Grounds
have been selected for a new Presi-
dental mansion. They are just west
of the Columbian Colleges in the
northern suburbs near Fourteenth
street. The grounds are very extern
siye and overlook the entire city,
which will enable future Presidents
with the aid of telescope to watch
Congress, or, at least, the Capitol, to
his hearts content With the White
House there located, the Presidency
would be far more desirable. But ap-
preparations must be. made before
costly buildings can be erected. The
West, with dim hope of some time
removing the Capitol to some of its
own broad prairies, may feel called
upon to object to any further action
which shall serve to fix more indissolu-
bly, its present location. Some sug-
gest both an Eastern and Western
Capitol, the government authorities
vibrating between the two, but this
would cause confusion and engendel
strife between sections.-Troy N. Y

From the N. z. World.
The Union Leagues and the
Penitenffary

No sooner has one sstroolv-lo;ln
person holding Office in New York been
despatched for abuse of his trust. to
the Penitentiary, than another of the
same sort in Virginia undergoes like
fate. Mr.. CaIlicott was a particular
friend and favorite of that eminent
Union Lacquer, Mr.. Horace Greeley !:
and Mr.. Anderson, who has been SEN
fenced by Chief-Justice Chase in Rich
mond to pay fine of $40, 900 and to
take up his residence for two years in
the Virginia Penitentiary, is nephew
of Mr.. John Minor Bolts, whom all
the Union Leagues in the land have
delighted to honor. Is it not worth
while to investigate the nature of the
mysterious connection which, as thus
seems to be shown, must exist be-
tween extreme loyalty in politics
and extreme looseness in finance? If
things 90 on at this rate it will soon
be difficult to secure quorum of
members in any leading Union League
Club without applying to Governor
Fenton for ticket of leave from the
Penitentiary And what satisfac
ton it must be to President Johnson
to reflect that his name has been re-
moved from the rolls of membership
on which such patronymics as those OF
Callicott and Anderson have long re-
flected lustre!

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES.
At the late session Of the Old School
Presbyterian General Assembly, held
at Albany, the following preamble and
resolutions in relation to the Synods
that separated from said Assembly du-
ring the war, were adopted
Whereas, 1.-THE Synods Of Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Memphis, Missis-
slppi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Texas and Virginia, with the several
Presbyteries under their care, have,
with the exception Of the Presbytery
of New Orleans, in the Synod of Mis-
sissippi, voluntarily withdrawn from
our connection, and organized them
selves into separate church, there
fore.
Resolved, That the permanent clerk
is directed to drop their names from
the list of our Synods and Presbyte-
ries, and they are no longer to be re-
garded as a part of the Presbyterian
Church under the care of this Assem-
bly,, with the exception of the Presby-
terry of New Orleans, which is hereby
attached to the Synod of Nashville.
Resolved, That the Assembly does
hereby recognize the organization into
which these Synods have formed them
selves as separate and independent
church, sustaining to us the same re-
lation which we accord to other
branches of the Presbyterian Church.
and hereafter it is to be treated &C
cordingly by all the courts under oul
! care.
Resolved, That the Assembly also
take this occasion to say that while il
cannot justify these brethren in sepa
rating themselves from the Church Of
the fathers, itregrets their withdrawal
and expresses the earnest hope thai
they may see their way clear to return
| to their former relations.

The New York Express shows in q
very striking light the enormously ex-
travagant government we have under
Radical rule, and which is to be per-
petuated in the election of Gen. Grant.
The Express says:
The United States Government is
the most expensive in the world.
Great Britain, with an army three
times as numerous as our own, an i'm
mense navy, a royal family to take care
of, and with many other expenditures
of which we have no counterparts,
spends less money for the support of
her government than we do. Interest
on British debt for 1867, 1928, S07 ,27O.
Interest on United States debt for
1867, 143,7S1, sol. The United States
debt is almost one half less than that
of Great Britain, yet we paid as inter
est $14, 974, 321 more than she did
The same year Great Britain's civil
service expenses were $41, 098, 095, land
our civil service bill, same year, was
S51,11O,027. The army expenses of
England in 1867 (for 3,4OO men
was S74, 1888, 946, and the expenses OF
our gu. S. Az same year, 10000 men
on paper), ss3, S31,555, or 1851 sos
more than it cost Great Britain for an
army three times the number of ours.
If we adopt the British plan OF CLASH
fication, and place the expenditures
for pensions and bounties in the items
of"Army Expenses" the sum is $116,-
$50, 965, which is Sd, III, O19 more than
the whole military expenditures OF
Great Britain for the year named
Passing other items, the total cost OF
the British Government for 1867 was
1885, 1903 AIS. Total cost of the
United States government, same year,
S346, 729,125. The United States
Government which should be much
the cheaper, was 11,426,7 FOG the
dearer.

The Way the 1Radfcaf Kmaves
have Attempted 10 Cheat
the Freedmen of their

AS much as we expected in the way
of fraud upon the credulous freedmen
by the Radical knaves who adopted
the proposed Constitution to create
vast Plumber Monopoly for their own
exclusive benefit at the cost of both
races, we have been amazed at the ex-
tent to which these despicable practi-
ces have been carried.
Our readers have seen the HORRI-
BILE AND UNGODLY OATHS by
which these desperate conspirators
have attempted to bind the conscien-
ces and control the votes of freedmen.
Besides these appliances, they have
industriously attempted to make them
believe that if they voted against the
| Constitution, or refused to vote at all
under the influence OF a doubt as to
what they should do, they would be
punished by the military authorities.
The cunning Radical knaves, we hap
| pen to know, have circulated this base
falsehood among the credulous freed
men and in many instances, they have
controlled their votes with it. In 9TH
er instances, we have known them to
circulate reports that if they did not
vote for the infamous Constitution
with all it's oppressive schemes of tax
alton, and it's blasphemous oaths, the
Democrats would reduce them to sla-
very. And these lies, whispered in the
secret conventicles of the conspirators
and busily circulated among the freed
men, have in many instances, con-
trolled their votes for the miscalled
CONSTITUTION" to the prejudice Of the
interests and the peril of the liberties
of both races.

SUBORNERs or PERJURY I!
LOOK OUT FOR THEM!

Our people must be aware that the
authors of the League conspiracies,
who have administered blasphemous
oaths to the freedmen, to fetter their
consciences and to mislead them, will
not scruple, when they are fairly beat
en- at the polls, to tempt by threat or
promise, ignorant or base persons to
swear falsely, in order to vitiate the
elections. Let our citizens, every
where, conscious of the rectitude of
their course, be prepared to meet this
last resort of the defeated and disap-
pointed spoilsmen. They can easily
get upon their tracks; trace them to
their dens of iniquity, and drag them
to the punishment which guilt like
theirs deserves. The full weight of
the Jaw provided in such cases, will
be laid upon these base men. Mean
time, we invite freedmen, and others,
who are approached by the Loyal
League agents to entice them to COM
nit perjury aboutthe elections,to come
forward and expose them. They will
be amply protected by the whole civil
and military power in the State.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1868-06-24

Don't believe the false reports which
the Loyal League conspirators have
circulated, that the army intends to
interfere with your right to vote
against the constitution, if you SO pre-
fer. The federal Army is stationed
here to protect you in your right to
vote as you please; and to protect you
against the threats of violence which
are made by those, who in the interest
of the Leagues, are striving to intimi
date freedmen who have joined the
Democratic party, in the attempt to
rescue Mississippi from the terrible
bondage to both races that awaits,
should the constitution be ratified.

Weeping-Wailin and Gnash
p ega 50 ing OF Teeth.

There is furious bowling among
the Radical cormorants. They are
disappointed in their scheme of ratify-
ing the yilianous Constitution which
with rare cunning, they had framed for
impoverishing and expressing the
people, that they might feed fat their
lust of power and of pelf. The knaves
have been deserted by the freed
men whom they had hoped to work as
so many dumb brutes, for their own
,behoof. They have been beaten fairly
at the polls, and now they win attempt
to lie away, by bold assertions, and by
subornation of perjury, the fruits Of
the glorious Democratic victory But
these desperate expedients, like all
the rest, will fail.

Political ITEMS known Dem
ocratic gains in Indiana have been so
great, that if there is like ratio of in
crease hereafter, the Democrats say
they can carry the State by $4,000
majority in November next. The
Radicals in their estimates, class the
State as sdoubtful" A change of an
aggregate of only 1890 votes in the
districts of the State, will give the
Democrats control of the Senate and
House of Representatives.
- The San Francisco Examiner says
that the three States of California,
Oregon and Nevada, may be set down
as sure for the Democratic candidates
in November. California will give
10000 Democratic majority.

VIEWS OF Hon. B. Ell. HILL ON THE
PROPER ATTITUDE OF THE GEORGIA
DELEGATION IN THE NATIONAL Con
vENTIoN-On Monday afternoon, last,
in conversation with US, Hon. B. H.
Hill, whose opinions are entitled to
consideration by his many admirers,
stated that in his judgment the South
ern Delegations should have but little
to do in determining the nominee on
the platform of the Democratic party
in the approaching Convention-that
the platform should be a short and
simple one-if it said anything at all
upon the suffrage question, it should
simply declare that the settlement of
that question belonged to the States
that the Southern delegates should
cheerfully cooperate with the North
ern delegates in whatever their judg-
ment deemed proper to be done-that
harmony should and would prevail,
and whoever should be considered by
the North as the most available and
sure candidate { whether Judge Chase
o. any other person) to defeat the
schemes of the Radical party, should
have the cordial support of delegate
and people. Macon Telegraph. III
We desire emphatioally to declare
our approval of these views of Mr.
Hill.

The Application of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee for
the POsaponement of the Elec-
ton.
1t may not be known that the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, through
their chairman, G en- Freeman, made an
earnest application to Gen. Mcdowell
for postponement of the election, in
order to allow more time for the ex-
animation and discussion of the pro-
posed Constitution. 1t was a shame
that so little time was allowed for the
examination of a measure, involving
consequences so vital to the people,
on whom it was designed to operate.
The case is stronger when it is
coupled with the fact that probably a
majority of those who were to decide
| the question could not read, and were
enabled to form their opinions only by
the representations of others. The
Democrats had but gotten fairly into
the work of exposing the scheme when
the election was held. AS it is, we
believe the State has gone against the
Constitution by twenty. thousand ma
jority. Two weeks more and it would
have been FIFTY THOUSAND. The Mil
itary Commander did not deem it ex-
pedient to conform to the request of
the Committee, very greatly to their
regret. Fighting with the weapons of
truth, reason and justice, we asked
nothing but an opportunity of being
heard and understood

RANKIN COUNTY.

When so many have done well, it
would seem invidious to discriminate,
and at this writing it is not possible
to determine which of the counties
have done best. But we know what
Rankin God bless her) has done
Her colored and whitelf egistered vote
is nearly equal, and she will give a
majority of not less, and probably
more, than one thousand against the in
iquitous Constitution. We now see
the effect of tree and open discussion
and full and unreseryed interchange
of opinion concerning the issues of the
day, between the men of the two races.
From the beginning our friends have
made it their especial business to en-
tighten the colored voters in reference
to these matters, "nothing extenuating
nor setting down aught in malice, ''and
the fruits oftheir patient toll and I'M
wearying effortsare seen in the result of
the election Thecharges Of fraud, and
violence, which of course every body
expected the disconnected and disap-
pointed Convention knaves to make,
are lies out of the whole cloth, and the
patriotic freemen of Rankin, white
and colored, who have contributed to
this glorious triumph, stand ready to
meet any charge of the sort that these
bowling fellows may, in their blind
fury, think proper to make. The only
regret of the colored, as well as white
champions of Democracy, is that they
did not have two or three weeks more
for labor before the election. If they
had had time, in which fully to expose
the enormities of the Constitution and
the iniquities of the plumber schemes
of the Radicals, we verify believe that
the Democracy would not have lost
one hundred votes in the county.
