committees of the recently admitted
members, stating that at the present 1t

CITIZENS UNION No. 2 seems to have

1t has quietly collapsed. Born in Sc

that was too much fer it. And agony il

THE Philadelphia Age, Gays the row
in Congress between the two Houses
may leopard the passage Of the proposed
amendment. There was before sufficient
discord on the subject. The House form
of it says the negro shall vote; but his
worshippers in the Senate added that he
should also hold Office in sll the States.
All we ask Of them, with either form, is
not to swindle the people. Refer the
proposed amendment to conventions to
be elected, and we care very little how
il is phrased. The will of the people OF
Pennsylvania is already spoken in the
Constitution of that State. Bat the plot
is to refer the matter to Legislatures al
ready elected, and elected, too, on the
Chicago platform pledge against " negro
suffrage" in the loyal States. 1t shows
the profound immortality Of the Radicals,
hat this is no objection. An honest
party would say cur Legislators, pledged
against the measure, will not, ought not
to vote for il. But the Radical thinks it

not to do s thing-spd then instantly

LONDON, February 2O.-The Standard
advises the rejection of a convention in
relation to the settlement of the Ala
bama claims. Advances for a new treaty
must come from the United States.
England is now unfettered from conces
sions, and will only treat hereafter on
terms of absolute equality.
The Times says the present treaty tes-
titles amity OF England. Its failure
does not endangsr the friendliness Of the
two countries, but rather serves as a
warning in arranging the points Of the
new convention.
The Post regrets the rejection OF The
treaty on account Of the delay it Will
occasion in the restoration Of the friendly
relations between Great Britain and the
United States.

TIE CUBAN revolution prospers. The
several cliques into which the patriots
have heretofore been divided have unit
ed. All recognise a Provisional Govern
ment recently organized by a popular
vote Of the patriots in the Eastern De-
pRrtment. The several Juntss Of Ha-
Vsna, New York and the East have thus
united and pledged their efforts to sus-
tain in 3 sensible and patriotic way the
common cause. OF this spirit the Junta
Of Havana has already given earnest in
the advancement to the Provisional Gov
eminent Of drsfts for large amounts upon
New York, promising to make the total
q million dollars within a few days.
General QUEsADA is in supreme COM
msnd, and, with CEsPEDEs as Sec
rotary Of War, is fact bring
ing order out Of chaos. From q dispatch
from Washington we learn that this
Government, Of which the Patriot
movement has all the time stood in so
much need, has agreed upon q political
basis that comments itself 10 all the
members. 1t proposes equal rights for al!
cOiors, suffrage TO be based upon q mixed
property and educational qualification.
Anticipating the adoption of this course,
many Of the wealthy planters have man
united their slaves, and sent them into
the field armed soldiers for the cause
that in every part Of the island is gain
ing ground rapidly. The revolution oe-
cupies at least one-half Of the island, and
Increases daily ia strength. New COM
mands are organizing IS fast as
arms reach them, eargoes Of which
are landed from time to time; the
coast being very favorable for such
operations. No propositions from the
hpAniards will now be listened to. Moth
ing short Of Independence is desired.
When that is established the Cubans
hope to obtain the protection OF this
Government, with a view Of eventually
becoming q member Of the American
Union. Many are DESTROYS OF Anuexs-
ton, but open discussion Of that ques.
tion now might create dissensions. Un-
easiness still pervsdes the Spanish cir
Giles Of Havana, and the flight Of DULCE
and his troops is among the possibilities.
The least indication OF favor from the
United States, ct this time, would be
hailed by the patriots as the one thing
only wanting to encourage them beyond
hope 10 a realization Of their desires.

Ia other words, he is in favor
Of q working and not a talk
ing Congress. OF the tenure Of
office bill, he said, "that 50 far as he
knew, every thief in the Government
" employ, and every ring which is
engaged in debeuching legislation,
" wanted the law to stand as it is." This
is Just the language used by President
JOHNSON, to whom Congress refused the
justice the House has with alscrity ae-
coldsd TO GRANT. If the General had
gone y little farther and displayed his
magnRnimity by as heartily condemn
ing this tenure-of-office bill-so far as it
oppressed the Administration he is to
sueeeed-We could find occasion for q bet
ter opinion Of him than under the cir
I cumstances we ri entertain. This
! correspondent tells us THAT upon
% reference being made to the OBJ
Elections by some, that to repeal
b law o would amount to
"a confession that it was passed solely
" TO embaTrsss Mr.. JOHNSON, 6sDeral
" GRANT remarked that this was, IN
d" doubtedly, the object Congress had in
" view-the preservation of the purity OF
4" the public service against the inroads
/" of ~rasoaiity and iRcompstency, and ne
q saw nothing in that fact Of which sny
L" need to be ashamed" This attempt
to whitewash Congress is the Radical
sign whereby the Gnersl is to be readily
recognised as one OF that party. What
would be a great wrong Inflicted upon
him was simple justice inflicted upon
III. JOHNSON. The inuendo against the
President conveyed In this exculpstion
Of Congress is as unjust 9 it is unde-
served from GRANT.
