Xhe Aehel Debt

The persistence with which the Grant
papers attempt TO make their oredulous
readers believe there is the remotest posi-
bility that the rebel debt will be paid By the
General Government, should Mr.. Greeley be
elscted President of the United States, can
have no other explanation except the des-
perAtion of the cause In which they are en-
listed. These editors cannot certainly piey
ignorance of the amendment of the Con
stitutioB, which prevents the possibility Of
such payment; for its provisions are fami,
liar TO the most ordinary reader. We pub
lish below the amendment, so that if there
be any who are ignorant of its provis-
/ ions, they shall not have that excuse any
4 longer:
But neither the United States, nor any
State, shall assume or pay any debt or obi.
cation incurred an aid Of Instruction, o.
rebellion against the United States or any
claim for the loss or emancipation Of ana
Stare, but all such debts, obligations ana
claims shall be held illegal and Uoid.'
If anything further were needed TO prove
that the GRANTEES do not intend to conc q :
this campaign fairly and honestly, the Al
tempt TO make their readers believe "that j
Greeley is elected, the rebel debt will b,
paid, and the owners of slaves oupenss
ted" would furnish the evidence. Tue
above extract is from section of article
of The Constitution of the United States
proposed and ratified under date OF July 20
1868, and sets the matter al rest forever.
!, Besides this, the aforesaid veracious ed
tors know perfectly well that rebel debt
has no existence. Every Union soldier VII

There being no doubt of the denomination OF
Grant, the interest here concentrated in the
vice presidency. News of the result was com
municated to Mr.. Wilson by Senator Anthony
The first man to congratulate Wilson was Col
fax.
PRESIDENT GRANT is NOT SURPRISED
The president remarked this evening that the
announcement his denomination Occasioned
him no surprise, as the delegates had been in
structed to vote for him. and the proceedings of
Yesterday showed that this would be the result;
nevertheless he was highly gratiHed that the
nomination was unanimous, and felt under obi
cation 10 his c0untrymen, who, through their
deegates,I had SO emphatically endorsed him
both in their speeches and by their votes, which
showed that the vile ISLANDERS uttered against
him found no believers among his friends.
oREGoNE REPUBLICAN.
An official telegram, dated Portland, Oregon,
to-day, says the republicans have wiped oui the
democrats, Greeleyites and all, electing their
representative and majority in both branches
OF the Legislature.
SECRETARY FISH HAS NOT RESIGNED.
On inquiry at the executive mansion, 1t is as
certained that Mr.. Fish has not rendered his
resignation as secretary OF state.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH iTo THE DAILY sPY.l

SPECIAL DISPATCH fro THE DAILY sPY.l
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 6.
WILSON'S NOMINATION SATISFACTORY
The nomination of Henry Wilson for vice
president gives general satisfaction here. There
are some exceptions, however, for Mr.. Colfax
had some warm friends in Washington.
QUIET DAY IN THE SENATE.
The day has passed very quietly in the senate,
and no illusions were made to the Philadelphia
convention.
RECEPTION OF THE NEWS.
Mr. Wilson got his first news of the vote from
the newspaper gallery, dispatch having
been dropped down to him; but he failed
TO catch its meaning. He handed the
dispatch to Senator Howe, who sat next to
him, and he TOO failed to notice that Wilson
had got a majority on the first ballot. Mr.
Upton came up, and looking over the figures
saw that they gave clean majority TO Wilson,
and informed him of the fact; whereupon there
was a general time of congratulations. Mr..
Conking, who sat near from first to last, did
not notice the Massachusetts, senator Mr..
ColaX was prompt to come from the vice
presidents room and 90 TO Mr.. Wilson's
seat and shake hands with him. He sat down
for a short time in the senate chamber, and it
was impossible for him to conceal look ofpain
and sorrow. Though very few speak against
the selection of the convention, great deal of
sympathy is expressed for Mr.. Colfax.
II is u curious fact that most of the senators
who were engaged in the attempt 10 degrade
Mr.. Sumner were strong partisans Of Mr..
C0llax, while Mr.. Wilson has stood
aloof from all these rings. While sup
porting General Grant cordially for presi-
dent, he has been entirely independent in his
conduct as senator 1t is only day or two
since that he gave his advice to the senate to
hasten its work and adjourn on Monday. He
does not believe in remaining here TO indulge in
political debate MIR. Wilson was heartily con-
graduated by Messrs. Trumbul, Upton, Schurz
and Fenton. The Greeley republicans look upon
him as less of a partlzan than Mr.. Colfax is.

ground OF eXpcdency for the high favor in which

TALLY expressed for him by the workinomen oF

England, and his general popularity. Nothing
put an opposition coalition, democrats included
will suffice to make an impression against Grant
