CANSICHTHINGS RE

We learn that some of the political
enemies of eX-President johnson are
strenuously urging that the Senate amend
ment should be adhered to without end,
because they say that if the House
proposition for one hundred dele
gates, or the proposition for seventy
five on the representative app0r-
tionment of 1852, should he adopted, then
Mr.. johnson would be sent to the Con-
vention from his county; but if the Sen
ate proposition to send fifty two from
each senatorial district be carried,
then Mr. Johnson's senatorial district
being overwhelmingly Radical, he could
not he elected In other words, according
to their argument, there are certain warm
advocates of the senatorial amendment
who are willing to see the Convention
defeated, or two Radicals elected from
Mr.. Johnson's senatorial district, rather
than permit the people of his county to
send him TO the convention. lhelr pa
triotism consists in hatred of Andrew
johnson. Rather than giveto the citizens
of Greene county the privilege of select
ing their own delegate to the convention,
they are willing to continue the present rule
over the State two years longer Their
doctrine il let the disfranchsed remain
disfranchised, rather than give 10 the PEG
pie Of his own county an opportunity 10
honor Andrew johnson. 10 the honor of
Mr.. Johnson be il said, he has favored
from the beginning the House hin, allow
ing delegate from each senatorial and
representative district,
Let the friends of the people stand firm.
They will triumph at last.

THE RAILROAD SUITS.

The matter of the Tennessee railroads,
against which the Federal Government
has been prosecuting claims, seems not to
be distinctly understood since the an
nounccment of compromise few days
since The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette gives in his letter
of the 18th inst this version of the com
promise
'The argument in the cases of the Uni
ted States against the Tennessee railroads,
was concluded to-day by a F. Perry,
after which, upon an intimation from
Judge Swayne as to the proper course 10
be taken, an order was made enjOlning the
companies from any misrepresentation of
rolling stock purchased from the govern
ment, and requiring them to enter a note
bond, with satisfactory personal security,
to account for and pay into the courts the
net proceeds of the roads, the payment of
running expenses and interest on their
bonded debt, and also TO deposit collate-
raj security for payment OF the amount
finally ascertained to be due from them of
United States bonds, of an amount equal
to the claim of the government, guaTan-
teed by the State of Tennessee. To finish
the latter, legislation by the State viii he
needed This arrangement furnishes I'M
doubted security for the ultimate payment
Of the debt TO the United States.
President Cole, of the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad, telegraphs from
Washington that the arrangement, what
ever it may be, is satisfactory to the
officers of the roads interested

A question OF JUSTICE.

In our editorial remarks yesterday on
"Senator Cooper, of Davidson and the
Convention Bill, after quoting in full the
amendments proposed in the Minority
Report" we said: at viii be seenfrom
these proposed amendments of Senators
Cooper, of Bedford, and Nelson, sustained
by Senator Cooper, of Davidson, there
was no proposal to change that provision
of the constitution which eXempts the
negro from the payment of the poll-tax,
and from the performance of military
duty in time of peace To thislanguage
the Senator from Bedford objects as I'M
Just to him and Senator Nelson, as he ex-
pressly favored the proposition to extend
the amendment to taxation and taxables.
We cheerfully give him the benefit OF this
statement; hut this is the first we have
heard of it, In the Minority Report, +"
the two articles quoted yesterday, were
recommended as amendments to the consti-
tuition. After they were defeated Senator
Cooper, of Bedford, offered an amend
ment TO the House Bill, restricting the
powers of the convention 10 certain sub
jects among which was that of "tax-
ahles' We quoted the recommended
amendments of the minority correctly,

THE CoNYENrI0N RnI

There seems to be apprehensions on the
part of some of the friends of a eonyen-
ton that as there cannot be time between
the passage Of the act and the day of
election, second Saturday in December,
for the Commissioners of Registration TO
give the requisite notice, the election win
fail There is no dificultuty upon that
point That portion of the act is only
decIdratOry of the duty of the Commits
sloner of Registration. If he were to fail
to publish the notice at all, it would not
affect the law in the slightest degree. The
election would be held just as well with
out his notice as with it, and would
be in every respect as leglti-
mate and binding. The object
of the publication of the Commissioner is
TO give as extensive notice as possible OF
the election which was to be held If he
does not comply with the law, that does
not defeat the law Such a construction
of the statute would place il in the power
of one man TO defeat law passed for the
benefit of a whole people.

TINS New York San has discovered
something out of which TO manufacture
a sensation That paper says, editorially,
in its issue of the 18th inst, that the eX-
traordinary preparations now going on in
the navy yards are not in expectation Of
war with Spain about Cuba, but simply to
keep guarI over the annexation of the
Dominican Republic to the United States,
The conditions Of annexation have been
fully settled between Gen. Babcock, con
fidential officer of Grants staff, and the
authorities of San Domingo The treaty
is similar to that for the annexation of
Texas, and viii be laid before
the Senate when Congress opens.
All members of the Dominican govern
nlent and leading men among the people
are anxious for annexation, and the ap-
proyal of the Senate is confidently ex-
pected. The ships of war now going TO
the West Indies are sent at the request of
President Baez and his advisers, SO that
there may be one or more in each port
when the United States flag is hoisted.
No trouble is expected from the people
generally, and the only opposition would
be from a revolutionary faction aided by
Gabral This may be something more
than a mere sensation.

TnE battle of the Admirals IS one of the
sensations OF Washington. FarTagut and
Porter are having a tit concerning their
claims for prize money. Farragut says

at Mobile for seven days, without any
damage being done on the other hand,
Porter claims TO have suggested the al
tack, and worked eight days in getting
Fauagut's fleet over The bar lie further

foundation in fact. The Cincinnati Conn
Htcrci0l is irreverent enough, although q

he took in the capture of New Orleans,

rnr CnNvENrIoN Bill.

Our readers viii learn with regret ihai
the Convention Bill has not yct'bccofne
The law. we give as fully as our space
win permit the proceedings of the two
Houses, so that our readers may know cS-
actly where the responsibility of delay be-
longs. WeaEe informed that the Commit
tee of Conference met yesterday morning
and a proposition was made torecommend
the adoption Of proposition, fixing the
number of delegates at seventy-five, one
from each representative district, under
The apportionment Of 1852. This
meiioa, as we learn, was ruled out
of order by Senator Cooper Of Davidson,
the chairman of The committee, he in
sisting thatthe committee could donothing
without Instructions but recommend one
or the other Of the two propositions upon
which they. disagreed, to-wit the House
proposition for one hundred delegates or
the Senate amendment for fifty. As there
could be nc agreement upon either of
those two propositions, and the compro-
misc proposition of the House being ruled
out of order, disagreement was reported
TO the two houses. We have no doubt
that if the compromise proposition had
been entertained by the COMMITTEES,
the bill'would now be law. Was the
ruling of Senator Cooper correct
we think not. Wilson in his digests
OF Parliamentary law, speaking of com
mittees of conference, says 'grheif pro-
vince is not only to reconsider existing
differences, but also to propose s,tbsti-
tetes and additions to measures in
issue betDecn the hOo houses. - Indeed
we have always thought that the main OBJ
ject of committeesof conference, especial
ly after an adherence on the part OF
either house, was TO propose substitutes
or additions to the measures in issue be
tween The two houses for the purpose of
procuring an agreement.
Yesterday afternoon the House in
structed their Committee TO offer, as a
compromise, delegation of 70 to be
elected from the representative districts
as apportioned under the act of 1859
There win doubtless be efforts made OF

sincerely hope that they viii not succeed.

THE RADICALS ANDTHE SOUTH.

The Hon. II. W. billiard, of Georgia,
has been to Washington as a member of
the committee appointed by the Louisville
Commercial Convention, to lay the pro-
eeedings of that body before the Presi-
dent. While there he mingled freely with
some of the most prominent members OF
the Republican party, and had excellent
opportunities of ascertaining public opin-
ion on a most important question. The
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says:
'tFrom what he saw and heard he thinks
that the policy of the adnlinistra-
ton in relation to the South has
undergone-or is undergoing very
material change for the better. The
President and many members of his cab
met intend TO use no more harsh meas
ures toward the South and milder Goun-
sells will prevail" Mr.. Hilliard ought TO
know that Grant and other Radicals about
Washington are good at making promises
to the people of the South, but decidedly
poor in performing. The Chronicle and
Sentinel adds:
'But the most remarkable thing that
took place during his visit was a CONVEX
sation between himself, Gen. Garfield,
the great Ohio Radical and very prom
inent member of Congress, and Chief
Justice Chase. OF course the topic
selected for discussion was the condition
of affairs in this section, and Mr.. billiard,
in enumerating the grievances of the
Southern people, spoke of the swarm of
hungry carpet -baggers which had over
run the country since the surrender.
Replying to this, Gen. Garfield agreed
with Mr. billiard in his remarks on this
pest, and said that he himself would
rather repentant Rebels should hold the
offices than carpet -baggers.
Repentant Rebels, interrupted the
Chief Justice. why do you wish re-
pentant Rebels, Gen. Garfield? What
have the Rebels done that they should
repent! Were they not equally as con-
scientiOus in their support of the South
ern cause as we of the North were in
our advocacy Of the cause of the
Union!
The Chronicle and Sentinel argues
from this defense of the South that the
Chief Justice is looking forward to a
nomination for President, and that he is
endearOring to propitiate the people of the
South, whose votes he will very much
mood po,.bo,,e on
