Virginia ratified the amendment last
week, but has not yet notified the State De
partment.
OF the above, Missouri, owing to a de-
fective telegraph despatch sent from Wash
ington by one Of the members of the House,
inadvertently omitted the second section Of
the amendment, and Kansas in her ratif-
cation changed the phraseology of the whole
amendment. It is not doubted that the
Legislatures Of those States win correct
these mistakes Immediately after their
meeting. That of Missouri meets on the
last Monday of December and that of Kan
sas on the second Thursday of January next.
The Legislature Of Missouri was elected for
two years in 1868, and an election for
another Legislature in Kansas viii take
place on the first Tuesday of November
When these two States correct the mis-
takes 10 the ratification, twenty States will
have sanctioned it. Eight more are needed.
Seven Of these are as follows
Legislature elected last Tuesday,
meets first Monday in January.
Alabama-Legislature elected in Nov,
1868, for two years, largely Republican,
meets second Monday in November.
IoWa-larRely Republican Legislature,
meets first Monday in January.
Minnesota-lsreeiy Republican Begis-
lature, meets first Tuesday in January.
Nebraska-Legislatur largely Bepubli-
can elected last week.
Eermout-Legislatur largely Republi-
can, elected first Thursday in September,
aud meets on Thursday next, the Dist Of
October
Rhode Island-Legislature largely Re
publican. The Senate ratified the amend
ment on the 9th of May iast, and the
House postponed action till January, 1870,
when the work will be finished, according
TO all cur advices.
These States make the number twenty
seven.
Texas and Mississippi, when admitted,
will give US twenty nine, one more than
necessary.
We see no possible obstacle in the way
Of the ratification, unless Ohio should not
prove to have Republican Legislature or
Rhode Island should obstinately refuse
cooperation; but we do not apprehend
either contingency The safety Of the
amendment is so assured that we look
rather for assistance from some of the
States heretofore most bitterly adverse to
it-Phia Press

TIE official returns Of the State give
Geary a majority of 1896 aud Williams
SOB The vote for Williams is really the
party vote and shows that the partv
strength has been fully retained, or in fact
increased over that of last year ia propor-
ton 70 the vote polled. Ia 1868 with $
vote Of G53,l55 Hartranft had a majority Of
96I7, now Williams has S703 maioritv in
vote Of 576,50S being a larger maiority by
l62 in proportion to the vote than that of
last year. Taking into account the fact that
a small poll is always against the maiority
party, in spite Of which we have increased
our majority, the cops are welcome to all
the comfort they can get out Of the election

gains We have no cause to complain. We
congratulate them on their skill in figuring

has eopperhead desperation come, that for
the sake Of power, they deliberately attempt
to bankrupt the country by causing fnan
clal crisis in which thousands of business
men would be broken up aud thousands of
honest, WORTHY and industrious poor, would
be thrown out Of labor at the beginning of

The Yerger Case.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %, lS69.-It has
been ascertained that the occasion of the
special Cabinet meeting, on Wednesday last,
was the consideration Of the notorious Yer
ger case. Attorney General Hoar had ex
pressed the opinion that, owing to the we'll
known defects of those sections of the recon
structiOn acts referring t0 the Jurisdiction OF
the 0iril 0uUTts, the Supreme Court viii IN
doubtedly render an opinion In the case ad-
verse to The powers Of the military tribunal
before which Yerger was tried aud convict.
ed The result Of the cons sulatiun was, Of
course, a decision to abide by the final action
Of the court. II is generally understood
that this final action will not be promulgat.d d
by the court until after Congress meets. No
one pretends to deny the TACT of Yerger 5
guilt, but both Democrats and Repu licans
admit that he ought 10 be tried by compe.
tent constitutional authority, aud conse-
queHtly the expected decision of the Su
preme Court will be received with satistac-
ton by all parties concerned. In this con-
necton 1t IS proper to add that the rumors
printed regarding President Grants inten
ton to disregard the mandates of the court,
are proved to be false by the fact that it has
been IN his power to execute Yerger's SEN
tence at any time since Vt was forwarded to
him for approval Instead of doing SO.
however, he has anxiously cnurted the In
tervention Of the judiciary for the purpose
Of being governed in bis actions BY the high
est authority which could possibly be inter
ested in the case. 1t Is there fore probable
that in due course Of time Yerger win be
turned over to the civil authorities for trial.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE IN France
Sunday has hitherto not been generally OBJ.
served il France by complete cessation
from labor Recently, however, a decided
movement has been made in that country
by mechanics, working men, and attendants
In stores, to obtain holiday on the first
day Of the week, and extensive strikes are
now threatened to secure this object. This
movement is warmly supported by the re-
ligious papers, who assert that the working
people desire to enjoy the privilege of al
lending church The first practical attempt
to obtain holiday on Sunday has Just been
made BY the newspaper compositors Of
Havre, who have signed an agreement not 10
work on the first day Of the week after the
end Of October. A general measure of this
kind, it is asserted, will be adopted By the
eompositors Of Paris and the other cities of
France, so that after November Ist news
papers will only be issued on six davs of the
week At present the French newspapers
appear on every day Of the year, except the
days succeeding New Years day, August
18th, or the Fete OF Napoleon, Easter Sun
day, and Whit Sunday.
