The Three wayward Sisters.

From the Cnlcago Ilmes.J
Radical newspapers predict that Con-
gress will make the ratification of the
Fifteenth amendment condition pre-
cedeut to the admission of Virginia, Mis-
sissippi and Texas. One of them says
"The right to enforce such a require
ment is as valid IS that which dictated
the other features of reconstruction.
There is nothing about the reconstruc-
ton infsmy that is valid. The author,
Thaddeus Stevens, said it was wholly
outside of and unknown to the Constitu-
ton" The infamy is the creature OF
Congressional usurpation. Other usurpa-
tious have grown out of il. Now an at
tempt is made to sustain the validity Of
the latter by saying they are as lawful as
the infamy itself. The newspaper from
which we have quoted knows that Con-
gress does not itself believe that the in
fanny was lawful 1t passed bill to take
the McCardle case out of the Supreme
Court, and thus prevent the military bills
from being declared unconstitutional by
competent authority.
What nonsense it is to say that State
outside of the Union can ratify o constr
tutional amendment.

Beauty will Tell" - The influence Of
Pretty Women IN Warrington.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Republicans writes as foliews:
But just so long as women are weak
and men are powerful, some of the evils
of the departments never will be reme-
died. II is so much more comfortable to
a faded man, worn out in the arduous
duties as head of a bureau, to ses fresh,
young, pretty-faced woman at an adjoin-
ing desk, rather than one with all the
sweet juice of life squeezed out of her,
whether by age or misfortune, IL matters
not which. The first one is the oil of the
machinery of every day life; the latter
is the adhesive gum which needs cleans
ing awsy. Women, who look with long
ing eyes to an active life in the Depart
partment at Washington, had better con-
suit their mirrors first, unless Secretary
Boutwell, makes new laws to meet indi-
vidual cases. 1t is true, few crones =
NAV be found in the basement of the
building, but as you ascend to the upper
realms of the castle, new visions OF beauty
greet the eye, until the spectator is lost
in dazzling dream of enchantment as
glorious in its bewilderment as Turkish
harem. In many cases these handsome
Young women belong to Washington fam
lilies. They have good homes, with
the comforts of life, without paying
for them. This enables them to
spend their wages in the adornment Of
their persons. These are the girls whose
lives Mrs. Swisshelm so bitterly deplored.
These are the women who practice the
Grecian bend and who dot our avenues
of brilliant afternoon as the butterflies
do the clover heath. Petted darlings at
home, petted darlings at the Treasury,
no wonder they are spared their duties If
they have headache, or q new dress to
make. No soldiers widow or starving
daughter of the Republic can drive them
from their warm nests, for the reason
that thing of beauty is a JOY forever:
General Schenck says he has tried in
vain to geta place for o young girl who
had two brothers killed in the army, and
who lost her father also in the army.
There are other beautiful women there,
the mention of whose names is enough
to bring the blush to every honest
woman's cheek, some public mans
pretty plaything, and yet for such as
those the widows and daughters of our
noble soldiers must stand aside and sing
the "song of the shirt, or another quite
as sad. Has the sun of another day
risen ? With trembling form and bowed
head we shall wait and see. Ho.t

shsrnan's Last 0rdsr-The Army to be
Marching all Over the Country.
From the New York World
Why is this2 Wherefore is the whole
United States army thus sent trapezing
all over the country from one extreme
end of it to the other2 What is the rea-
son of this great expense to transport so
many thousand men so far; and where
fore is it that, at the oncoming Of q
Southern summer, acclimated troops are
Withdrawn from its influences and unac-
climated nent in their stead 2 sI
We will tell you. 1t is because the
army will not do the dirty work of recon-
struction as soon as it sees how very
dirty that work is. There is no aisobe-
dience. no revolt, no mutiny; but they
see and feel that they are white men, put
there to exalt the negro above the white
man, and they cannot be relied on to do
it. Here and there, some officer who dis
greces an honorable calling, enters into
this filthy business con onore, but for
the great part, there is mere stiff COM
piiance with the exact letter of the order,
and no more.
Hence all this marching aud counter
marching and skurrying this regiment
off to Dakota and t'other one back to
Texas. 1t is the same stale old game to
be found in any good history which
treats the little lodges of despotism. 1t
was part. Of the Roman policy to send
the Syrian levies to Cappsdocia and the
Cappadocians to Syria-but never let
thena stay with friendship, and always
keep moving your troops. In the corrupt
days OF the French monarchy, just before
Louis XVI was pulled down out Of his
throne and beheaded, it was chief func-
ton of the Minister of War to change
the troops. Prior to this day, it was
James IFS device to put his English
regiments in Ireland aud his Irish troops
on English soil. And just so now. Some
thing is due no doubt to army likes and
dislikes, but the main point in this
general order is as stated. There is
work to be done in the South. Eight
rogue Senators are TO DO lugged in /;
thirty-three reliable Representatives are
TO be selected; the screws are to be
frightened in the sacred name of peace;
and to do this dirty work men must be
had who will not find out what they are
doing till too late. What testimony to
the unutterable scoundrclsm of this vile
thing. Army officers, proverbially the
most careless and Indifferent men in civil
affairs, cannot bat revolt at this botch
upon statecraft; and army privates,
drilled into machines, are yet not 80 far
drilled but that the blood in their veins
rebels at the unnatural work they are set
to do.

The Palestine Exploration.

In a recent letter to the London Times,
on the subject of the explorations in
Palestine, Lieutenant Warren describes
an underground cistern, which he has
discovered beneath the Haram inclosure
at Jerusalem, measuring ffty.seveH feet
by sixty three feet, covered by groin
vaulted roof supported by columns the
vault having transverse ribs of cut stone
with the spandrils between filled in with
coursed ruble. and he adds that "he
cannot believe that such structure as
this was built merely for tank a 4
Mr.. Henry Conybeare writes to the
Times that the design of this tank ex-
acty corresponds with that Of many sub
terranean vaulted reservoirs that were
constructed in Roman times, unques-
tionahly as tanks only, and adds:
"Of these the best known are the
Piscena, of the Villa Cardito, near
Naples, and the Piscena Mirabile, near
Bsja in the latter the vault has tran
verse ribs of cut stone, with the spandrils
between filled in with rubls exactly as in
the example discovered by Lieutenant
Warren, the only difference being that in
the latter case the vault is pointed in
stead of semi-circular. te
