The Fourteenth Amendment Of
its Ratification.
From The ". Y. Herald.

From The ". Y, Herald
The opponents of reconstruction are discuss
ing, with a good deal of evident anxiety, the
validity of the ratification of the Fourteenth
Amendment. Mr.. Stewards official notice, con-
ceived in terms suggestive of doubt, gives
color and cogency to denial OF the suthciency
of the ratification. Its 'ils' made hypOtheti-
cal the PRONUNCIATION of fact with which the
State Department has no proper concern, aud
probably gave rise to the final and decisive
resolution of Congress.
The point most urgently pressed by the
Democratic journals relates to the action of
New Jersey and Ohio, whose present Lsgisla-
lures revoked acts of ratification passed by
their predecessors. The Congressional resO
luton embraces both in its enumeration of
the States composing "three-fourths and more
of the several States of the Union" With
these included, twenty-nine States are speci-
fed in favor of the amendment-belng one
more than the number cOnstitutonally re-
quiTed. The question debated is, then, whether
New Jersey and Ohio were entitled to cancel
the covenant into which they, with other
States, had previously entered. Mr.. Seward
puts it as a matter Of doubt and uncertainty
whether the resolutions of withdrawal "are
not irregular and invalid, and therefore in-

prisoners-at least 1000 more than Lee.
There are no other data on which TO form
estimates of Lees losses, except that In the
Wilderness he was as much exposed as Grant,
attacking and being repslled; at Spottsylva-
MIA, each attacked in turn, aud each was
repelled; at Cold Harbor, Grant attacked, but
without success. 1t is, therefore, fair to sup
pose that Lees losses were equal to those OF
Grant. At any rate, Lee suffered so much
that he never again assaulted Grant in force
during the nine months longer that the war
continued.
1t has been repeatedly asserted that Lees
army was not recruited TO any extent during
the last six months of the war, and that he
had but handful of men opposed to Grant in
the final campaign from Petersburg to the
AppomattoX. But Lees own field returns
show that on the 2Sth of February 1865, he
had 73,349 men present 80, 094 present for
duty. This was exclusive of the local militia
of Richmond, always put into the trenches in
a fight, and several thousand strong, as we'll
as the gunboat crews in the James, who were
also put into land fights. Out of these 81 4l6
were surrendered and paroled at Appomattox
Court House, and 1909 captured in battle,
besides about 5000 more in the assault on Fort
Sedgwick AT least 10, 600 men were killed or
wounded, and 10000 more deserted on the
road from Richmond to AppomattOx. These
two last numbers, however, cannot be verified,
as no report vas ever made of the final move
ments by Lee.
Thus it will be seen that Grant began the
campaign with 9S,0l9 effective men, and Lee
with ~, 27S, and that consequently Lee, hav-
ing all the advantages of position, breast
works, friendly country, and a short and
constantly shortening line of supplies in his
favor, was virtually the stronger of the two.
The losses during the Wilderness campaign
were about equal, not more than 10000 on
each side. And finally, when Lee reached
Petersburg, he had more men than were with
him at the beginning Of the campaign, show
ing that he had bsen heavily reinforced. 1t
seems to us this settles the question of Grants
generalship.

The w Gather.

A trite subject; and why shouldn't it be when
we hear it every day of our lives-cold or hot
pleasant or unpleasant-wet or dry-freez-
ing or thawing-windy or muddy. We talk
about it more than we do about impeachme Mt,
and who is there that has not heard of this at
we have queried ourselves in regard to how
IN the world every one ariu remark about the
ather hen he meets a friend We have
often been tempted to knock man down for
insulting our common sense by telling us it
was rainy day, when we knew it, and every
body else that was not asleep or an idiot. But
then these galutations of common life are mean
lnglesS, save about one of million: We say
ssgood morning" OR sgood evening" or chow
do you do and close up with the: weather, Or
it may be reverse the order. There is general
Iy about as much thought or meaning in these
remarks as in the conversation of prattling
Miss of sixteen. How many times have we
, heard persons in conversation, say "a pleasant
day" when it was just the reverse. We have
generally passed along uluttering "big fool p
l won der if he has lost his sense, or does be
think that have? We have seen some young
men, not to mention young ladies, who never
enter into conversation at a party, or of an
evening call without prefacing it by,more or
less talk about this all engrossng, all impor-
tant subject, ending perhaps with remarks
about instructions to the clerk of the weather.
We made resolve long ago if we couldn t
find anything else to talk about we would put
our hands in our pockets, and like Johnathan
Slick talk about Wetherfeld onions, or become
more visionary and dwell npon the beauteous
beauties of the beautiful moon or even descend
to the practical, and convince our friend how
many times a wheel turns around in dozen re
volutiOns- -t....- "s @.5
1t does very well to keep meteorological
record, especially if you are inclined to scien-
tific studies We would suggest that if you
have any friends who are continually boring
you by their conversation on this subject, you
keep such a record, and when they commence
YOU take it out and furnish them a complete
history of the weather for the past month If
they are not too blind in their sensibilities
they may take the hint that the weather is a
rather trite subject, and endeaYor to rack their
brain fer some rev theme of conversation.

THE ELECTION,

Peace for the Ist I'd and 7th wards, and City
Treasurer, were defeated, surprising nearly ey-
cry one, as a nomination in this intensely DEM
ocratic city has heretofore generally been
equivalent to success.
There is quite a row in the Democratic camp
over the defeat of their candidate for Treasurer

able nominee. Although young man., Mr.
Malloy is one of our oldest citizens, and his

be seen. The verdict of many is, ''served them
