THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial RADICAL has dis
covered a new political move. 1t may at
least amuse some of the readers of this
paper, and we therefore reprint it as fol-
lows:
''The importance of ratifying the fif-
teenth amendment has appeared to the
Democratic friends of Chief Justice Chase
in a novel and interesting form, lately.
1t is asserted by influential Democrats,
who favor the nomination of Judge Chase
by the Democratic Convention in 1872,
for President, that the ratification of the
amendment will be of infinite service to
the Democratic partisans of the Chief
Justice, inasmuch as he can bring
to his support an immense negro
vote, which no bona ,fde mem
Der of the party can do. Pendle-
ton, Hendricks, Hoffman, Gen. Han
cock and others, being all on record as
against negro suffrage, can not, it is
urged, receive the nomination in case the
fifteenth amendment is adopted by the
required number of States, and it is fur
ther urged by those friends of Mr.. Chase
that the Democrats can not hope TO beat
the Republicans, except with the aid of
the negro vote. The Chief Justice hav-
ing always been on the side of the
colored man, it is claimed that he has
their sympathy and confidence to greater
extent than any man in the country. In
this view Of the case, it is not impossible
that many of the Democrats will not re-
greet to see the amendment become part
of the constitution. -

GRANTS VARIABLENESS

A correspondent of the World says
the late message of Grant is directly in
the teeth of the views of Gen. George
Meade, expressed in his dispatch of 18th
July, 1868, to Gen. Grant, which was
approved by the latter without reservation.
In that dispatch Gen. Meade says that
the two branches of the Georgia Legisla-
ture made an examination of the persons
objected to, as disqualified by the four
tecnth amendment and reported all
eligible; thathe had 20 authority to over
ride their action, and that there was a de
cided Republican majority in the body.
Also that he agreed in the opinion of
Senators Wilson, Boutwell,, Farnsworth
and Paine that the iron-clad test oath was
not applicable 10 the Legislature. These
views were approved by Gen. Grant on
the 2lst of July, 1868, and on the 29th of
April, 1868, he had already indicated the
same opinion, declaring that the Legisla-
ture were not required to take the oath
prescribed in section nine, act of July 10,
1867. Again, in the case of Virginia, At
Hoar gave a similar decf-
sion, overriding Gen. Candy. 1t isthought
by some that these decisions will not be
reversed in order TO make Georgia a Radi-
cal State, and that the bill will not be
passed before January, when the Georgia
Legislature viii meet and carry out the de-
cisiOn Of the Supreme Court.

arc forty counties to be heard from. The

THE nncovsrRUCTIoNoFGEon-

6gAAs
1t viii be remembered that the State OF
Georgia has since the war squared her
constitution according to the Radical re-
quirements. But after doing so, her Leg
islature expelled the negro members. This
greatly incensed the Radicals, not only of
Georgia, but of the whole Union. Georgia
felt that, as a sovereign State, she
had the right to regulate her
local affairs In the manner which APP
peared to her most advisable. In this she
is about to find herself grayely in error.
President Grant gave the cue in his mes
sage and it is being vigorously followed
by all the Radical powers. Gen. Butler
said few days since: Congress viii
compel Georgia to keep her plighted
faith The power assumed by Congress
In this matter is found, as insisted by
Radical authorities, in the following
paragraphs of the 18th Amendment;
scNo State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or i'm
munities of citizens of the United States.
: TT Congress shall have power to
enforce by appropriate legislation the pro
visions of this article.
The Radicals claim and are preparing
to enforce the doctrine that the ratifca-
ton of this Amendment yielded to Con-
gress the power 'by appropriate legisla-
ton" to interfere in the local administra-
ton of any State which abridges the
privileges or immunities of the negro pop
ulation, they being, as insisted, citizens of
the United States. A Washington letter
written for the New York Tribune, in
the following extract, gives the Georgia
situation in Congress:
The Judiciary Committee of the Senate
held a session of several hours duration
to-day, the whole time of which was oc-
cupied in the consideration of the question
of the reconstruction of Georgia. During
Inc ItSI SSSSlOH VI SOuSISHo bilC SOHiiiiiJbtC
fully investigated the situation of affairs
in that State, but failed to complete a
remedy. To-day the committee agreed
upon bill, which will be presented to the
Senate on Monday next. 1t cmbodies
the view of the case set forth
by the President in his annual message
The Governor of the State will be empow-
cred to convene the members originally
elected to the Legislature, and have that
body organize, compelling all the members
elect to take the oath prescribed
by the reconstruction laws, and allow
ing no one to take a seat who is not eligi-
BILE under the third clause of the Four
teenth Amendment. This will give to the
colored people all the rights belonging to
them under the Civil Rights bill, and in all
future elections in the State, will compel
the ex-Rebels either to elect men who are
eligible for Office, or forfeit their right to
The course pursued by
the Democracy of Georgia and the bad
faith since shown by the Democracy of
Tennessee, have had profound effect on
the dominant party in Congress, and there
is a determination to act with Georgia,
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, in such a
manner that equal rights to all will be Sc
cured beyond the slightest shadow of q
doubt. The Committee will accordingly
their bill with provisions to
meet such an end.

JUDGE YEAmAN

There appears to be some doubt about
the confirmation of Judge Yeaman. The
Herald reporter states that a prominent
Senator, who canvassedth the Senate, says he
did not find more than two Republicans
who were in favor of Yeaman's confrma-
ton. The Radicals say that in the cir
cult in which Kentucky is included, or in
deed any of the Southern States, it is i'm
portant that there should be Judge whose
statusduringthe war and upon all questions
arising out Of it is mequivocal. 1t is al
legged that Yeaman does not come up to
this standard, and even if he did, he does
not possess the ability for the position TO
which he has been nominated. In view
Of these facts, which it is understood
have been brought to the attention of the
President, it is probable that the name of
Mr. Ncaman will be Withdrawn.

Tue Cincinnati Enquirer says of VIM.
B. Woods, who has been appointed by
Grant United States Judge for the fifth
circuit, that he is from Licking county.
Ohio. He was Speaker of the Democrat
ic House Of Representatives, at Columbus,
Ohio, which met in January, 1858.
When the war commenced he had real
ling sense of where office and honors
were to go, and turned Republican in
order to share them. At its conclusion
he remained in Alabama, and now turns
up with one Of the highest offices of that
section-that of United States Circuit
Judge. The Enquirer says he was never
suspected in Ohio of being lawyer of
any but the most slender attachments. and
that to select him in a State where he is
a mere adyenturer-a lawyer with q pau
city Of clients-over a crowd of eminent
and leading attorneys, is simply a scan
dalous outrage. The Enquirer seems to
forget that men of Woods calibre are ia
vorites with Grant. Little minds in au-
hority do not often confer favors upon
great ones.

The report of Commissioner Wells, to
be submitted to Congress in a few days,
places the cost Of the war, down to June
80, 1869, at over $Bl7L,9Ib49S. This
vast amount includes the war expenses
and expenses growing out of the war.
To this be adds estimated losses, and
State, county, and town expenses, and
foots the whole at the enormous amount
ofnine thousand millions of dollars. When
the cost to the losing side is added to the
foregoing, the sum viii indeed be fabu-
lous, and yet the country, especially the
South, is rapidly recovering from this
costly ''unpleaSantness.
