EM1eRArroSs OF WOVEN TO THE PAclF1

EMIGRATIoNs OF WOMEN TO THE PACIFIC
CoAsr-The San Francisco Commercial
Bulletin, of late date, says :"For month
past every steamer from the East has
brought unusually large numbers of women.
Over one.thiW Of all the cabin passengers
have been of tho female gender. The
matrimonial market of the Pacific coast,
although not in the line Of our legitimate
remarks, is becoming quite an object Of
attention at the East. The war consum
ed over 100000 men, and in some States
the excess of women over the sterner sex
is almost seven or eight to one. The Pa
ci6c States and territories contain nearly
thirty times more men than women, and if
the right sort Of the latter seek this mark
ct in quiet way, the probabilities are
greatly in favor Of changing their names
soon after their arrival. This would result
in building up thousands Of homesteads,
rendering our population more stable and
moral, increasing respect and obedience
to the laws improving and unfolding our
resources, stitfening the market generally
and lettering our condition in all other
respect"

WASHINGTON. Jan. l0-The Reconstruc.
tion Committee had three meetings this
week. They are tolerably sure to report
a new bill at all early day in accordance
with directions of the resolutions introduc
ell ON Monday by Epson and Boutwell,.
The Judgment Of the committee is fully
settled that the work of reconstruction
must be put more directly under control of
Gen. Grant. This is regarded as certain.
They are also considering the proposition
of Epson to allow the removal Of tho pre-
sent State officers, and the appointment Of
their successors by the Reconstruction
Conventions. 1t is not yet certain that
they will adopt this scheme, though it il
strongly favored by some members.
It is confidently stated that the radicals
have agreed upon bill requiring two
thirds Of the Supreme Court to concur be.
fore pronouncing any act of Congress I'M.
constitutional. In this connection it ie
stated with equal confidence that the pen.
drng questions involving the constitution
atty of the reconstruction acts will be
postponed until Congress takes the pro
posed action.
An official letter from Gen. Howard
states that the Bureau disbursements fron

Stanton's Endorsement.

Stanton, whose crooked ways have
brought down upon him the indigna-
ton of every honest man throughout
the land, thus endorsed the President
on one occasion:
War DEPT. WASHINGTON CRY,
March 3, 1865.
His Excellency Andrew Johnson, Vice.
President elect:
Sir-This Department has accepted
your resignation as Brigadier General
and Military Governor Of Tennessee.
Permit me on this occasion to tender
to you the sincere thanks Of this De-
partment for your patriotic and able
services during the eventful period
through which you have exercised the
highest trust committed toyour charge.
In one Of the darkest hours Of the
great struggle for national existence
against rebellious foes, the Government
called you from the comparatively safe
and easy duties of civil life, to q place
in front Of the enemy, and in a position
of personal toll and danger, perhaps
more hazardous than was unteredenco
by any other citizen or officer of the
United States. With patriotic prompt,
ness you assumed the post, and main
tanned it under circumstances Of I'M
|parallelel trials until recent eyent'
have brought safety and .deliveranc'
to your State and to the integrity 0
tile Constitutional Union, for which yol
so long and so CALAMITY periled al
that, is dear to man on earth. Tha
you may be spared to enjoy the new
! honors and perform the high duties t
which you have been called by the PEG
pie Of the United States, is the SINGER
wish Of one who, in every official an
]. personal relation, hasfound you worth,
Of the confidence Of the Government
and the honor and esteem Of your fel
| low citizens. Your obedient servant
] EDWIN M. STANTON.
