ALABAMA sEMT-RECONsTRUCTED

A week ago to-day the House of Rep
resentatives passed bill modifying the
requirements Of the reconstruction legiss
lation, and authorizing a provisional
government in the State of Alabama.
with power to resubmit the rejected Con-
stitution to the registered voters of that
State. The New York Herald saws. du-
ring the debate General Meade's report
on the election was presented and read.
In this document the commander of the
third military district shows that only
five thousand whites voted for the ratifis
cation Of the Constitution, and that after
making every possible deduction the
Constitution itself was beaten by over
eight thousand majority. General Meade
states that he received several letters
(Which he forwards with the report)
from Radicals of Alabama, urging him
to recommend the admission of the State
despite the vote, but that he felt CONS
PEELED to decline so doing. After stating
his reasons for this course, the General
recommends that the convention be
called together again for the purpose of
revising the Constitution, and closes his
report by saying beg leave to call
your attention to the difficulty of carry
ing on a government in State where so
small a proportion of those qualified to
take part in the government are in favor
of the organic law; and to insure a lar-
ger proportion of what must be the gov
erning class a more acceptable Constr
tuition should be presented to them for
adoption"
The bill as passed is different from that
originally reported 1t declares the new
Constitution the organic law for a pro-
visional government of the State; pros
vides that the officers elected by minors
ty vote shall qualify that the Governor
may convene the Legislature and that |
1t (the Legislature shall again submit |
the once rejected Constitution to the |
voters, with such amendments as it NAV
see tit to make Cor no amendments at all |
If it thinks best); that the amendments
shall be submitted separately, and that if |
the Constitution be adopted by majority
of those voting on the question, and after
the adoption of the constitutional amend |
ment known as article fourteen by the
Legislature, then "the Constitution of |
Alabama may be presented to Congress
for its approval"
Such are the salient features of the
bill IL does not admit the State to repre-.
sentation, but places it in the hands of
men who were elected by a decided
minority of the voters Ii also enables
these men TO compel ratification of the
once rejected Constitution, which General
Meade himself cannot approve Of TAX
ing altogether, a more inquitous scheme
to force upon the people Of Alabama a
measure which they protest-to compel
them 10 accept fundamental law which
demands each voter to take the oath of
fealty to the Radical party, and which

Gen. Grants Opinion OfImpeachmenI

New YORK, April 3.-The Tribune's
editorial says we have assurances from
Washington that General Grant finds that
it is not inconsistent with his duty as a
soldier to announce it as his opinion that
the only hope for the peace of the country
is the success of the pending impeachment
trial. He feels that national security de-
mands the removal of the President.

THE DEAD ALIVE.
A Case Of Suspended Animation The
Dead Restored to Life Again.

From the Detroit Tribune.
A week or SO ago, the wife of a very
respectable mechanic residing on Twelfth
street, in this city, died after a short ill
ness, and the usual arrangements were
made for the funeral services. One of
the city undertakers, at the request of the
husband, provided very handsome coffin
for the deceased, into which the lifeless
remains were placed, and they were per-
mitted to remain in a room. During the
ensuing night, however, one of the watch
ers, who had heard and read of reports of
cases of suspended animation, and being
imbue with curiosity in the premises,
decided to ascertain for herself whether
there was any probability Of truth in such
reports.
A favorable opportunity presented it
self for the fulfillment of her schemes.
and having satisfied herself that she was
really alone with the corpse, she obtained
a small looking-gla aud laid it upon the
face of the deceased. To her great sur
prise there appeared evidences Of breath
ings upon the face of the glass, and she
resolved, for fear OF deception, to make
another test, with another glass. The
operation being repeated, the same signs
we're manifested, and she revealed her dis
coveries to the other watchers. Each in
turn tried the glass, aud each had the sat
isfaction of observing precisely what the
first had.
OF course, in the morning the whole af-
fair was discussed with the family Of the
deceased, and it then occurred that long
Ttime ago young man, member OF the
womah's family, had died, and previous
to the burial of the corpse had actually
rolled over upon one side, showed signs
Of life, and the ease was declared 10 have
been one ofsuspended animation by the besi
medical testimony that could be procured.
Under all these circumstances it was, By
tho husband, deemed advisable to defer
the funeral ceremonies, and accordingly
aotice was given that the interment would

Grants Habits.

From the New York Sun.
Gen. Grant has been accused of intem.
perance. The Copperhe ads fight him with
talk about this alleged bad habit, just as
the rebels fought him with powder and
ball in the war; but the case is set right
in little speech which the Hon. w. H.
Dodge made on Thursday evening. Mr.
Dodge said that he had just been in Wash
ington, and had had long interview with
Gen. Grant, and, continued he, 81 left
him with the conviction that neither We
nor the friends of temperance have any
cause for anxiety in this respect" Mr..
Dodge is President Of the National Tem-
perance Society, and no one can be more
hostile to everything approaching intem-
perate habits in public man. The truth
is, that the practice of Gen. Grant is total
abstinence. In camp he-almost alone,
among all the prominent officers of the
army-never tolerated liquor or wine at
his table or about his tent. Fatiguing
marches and the excitement and exhaus-
tion of battles did not make him break
over his rule, not to touch or taste any
thing alcoholic. Again and again we have
seen wine offered him at public and pri-
yate dinners, only to be steadily refused.
We arc assured that now, in time Of peace
and in the society of Washington. he still
maintains the same custom. His epemies
must invent some other story. The peo-
pie will never believe that Gen. Grant is a
drunkard; and if, from not personally
knowing Grant, they are not sure of the
facts, they will answer as President Lin
coin did: "Let me know what kind of
whisky Grant drinks, and will send a
barrel to every one Of our Generals"
