On the postponement to December
rext, of Buffers Mississippi reconstruc-
ton bill, the vote in the House of Rep
resentatives ways 103 yeas to 60 nays.
The nays were all Radicals, but fifty
four Of the same party voted with forty
nine Democrats, to defeat Butler.
On the tenure Of office compromise,
in which Grant was so completely cir
cumvented by the partiaans Of the Sen
ate, eighteen Radicals voted with the
whole Democratic strength to maintain
Gen. Grants position (which he had not
the nerve to adhere to, himself, against
the naughty supremacy Of the Senate.
The President, who only month ago
came into power with the deliberately de-
clared purpose Of having an administra-
ton of men of his own selection, inde-
pendent Of political cliques, and threw
out a defiance to the Senate, has sub
sided into the meekest Of its followers,
and gives up to them, for the sake OF
keeping on good terms with them, the
principle he had proclaimed to be es-
sential to enable him to give the pro-
per administration to the government.
The annals of politics have no example
of a more sudden collapse of the preten-
sions of a self-eonffdent leader into the
-tnS'st accommodating meeknesz He
would not for the world give any un-
easiness 10 good friends by further
struggling to unite the knots with which
they have bound him; aud the loud
note of defiance dies away into the gen
tie request to them to take what they
want and let him have peace.

PRESIDENT Gen. Grant-ps Bismarck

termined to leave the three States in
question ''out in the cold" for another
year at least, for we're they not source
ot continuous capital and a pretext for
Congressional Interference in local ques-
tions which belong alone to the States
concerned? But the President General
told them very emplatically that they
had played that samequite long enough
and would not be permitted to continue
it Thus prompted, the House conelud-
cd that to beard the lion in MS den would
be unsafe, and so bill was passed in
accordance with the Presidents sugges-
tons, though enough of the old leaven
Congressional agoressiveness and-seetion-
al hostility was left, to show the animus
OF the legislative department of the

which Presidential suggestions were re-

clpalIty or corporAi1ons
Vow it follows, as the bonds Of the
State are the promises of the State TO
pay, and not money, and only valuable
because they carry with them the credit
of the Commonwealth, they, therefore,
cannot be loaned TO railroad company,
unless it be held that railroad company
is neither "a person, association, muni-
cipality or corporation" and we presume
10 advocate of this q great measure" will
hold to any such definition as this.
But waving the constitutional OBJ
jection-and we confess in these days
sucn objections are regarded by very
many persons as trivial and technical
We cannot agree with the Herald that
the adoption of this measure will force
the wealthy districts of the State to con
tribute to the improvement of the poorer
ones. IF it be so arranged that 90 No
road can ever get the State aid until its
road bed is completed and the cross-ties
laid down." (and this is the plan propos-
ed by the Herald) then it will be so
arranged that whilst the poorer portions
of the State will be compelled to pay
their portion of the taxes levied under
the proposed measure, not one cent of
money will ever be expended in their
interest; unless it shall happen that the
interest of the richer portions will be
subserved by building railroads for them.
The richer counties or sections, can
raise money and complete road beds and
put down the s-ties-and thereby get
State aid-but who is to complete the
road beds and put down the orossties for
the poorer counties or sections, and until
this is done they get no State aid, al
though the tax gatherer is regularly re-
quiriDg them out Of their scanty stores
to assist their rich neighbors in making
themselves richer. When the Elizabeth
town road is completed to Paducah and
that city is put in direct communication
with the seaboard at Norfolk-it viii
certainly be very desirable to connect
Columbus or Hickman, or both of them
to Padueah by road or roads through
Ballard, Hickman and Fulton counties.
but if these counties cannot complete the
road bed, and put down the eross-ties,
what advantage viii State aid be to them
or to the proposed enterprise? And if
Marshall and Galloway are equally un-
fortunate with Ballard, Hickman and
Fulton counties in being unable to CON-
ply with the condition precedent, Of com
pleting the road bed and putting down
the cross-ties on the proposed road from
from Paducah to central Alabama. it is
difficult to see in what manner their in
teress is to be advanced by the aid the
State compels them to give to those who
don't need it.

country, demonstrates this fact That
