the Governor says we shall know when he
saws it. and further than to say that we
have faith In the man for his fealty to Viz
GINA and the public welfare, rs well as Tor
his integrity and the purity and honor OF
his public devotion, we shall not venture TO
anticipate word or sentiment of his pub
lie declarations. We welcome him to the
seat of government, and il we are not more
at fault than we ever were in Judging men
we may congratulate the people upon eject
ING such gentleman TO administer the State
government.
Governor KENPER retires after term oil
service that has been marked for the earnest
and conscientious manner in which he DIS
charged his duties. No man who ever hiled
the exalted position OF Governor OF Flr-
ginia could have striyen more sincerely
than Governor KEMPER has done to admin
lister the government with the earnest de-
sire for the public good. His last message
to the Legislature afforded ample proof OF
this. That message was brilliant concll-
sion Of his State papers, and won for him
wreath Of honor that will not fade while
his name is remembered.
To Governor KEMPER we but speak the
sentiment of multitudes when we tender to
him our cordial wishes that he pay enjoy
long and happy life.

A PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
TO PROHIBIT PAYMENT OF PENSIONS OR FRO
PERTY CLAIMS TO REBELs.-The Democrats
in both houses OF Congress have been con-
sidering for some time previous to the re-
cess the propriety OF Offering resolution
in the shape OF an amendment to the Con-
stitution prohibiting the payment OF pen
sions to rebel soldiers, or the payment OF
any claims for property belonging to rebels
lost or destroyed during the late war.
1t can now be stated that resolution OF
this character has been prepared and will
be offered Immediately upon the reasscm-
bling OF Congress. The object OF the re-
solution Is to settle forever these questions,
which have been brought forward IN every
political contest since the war, and used to
the disadvantage of the Democratic party.
1t is alleged that it will be sustained by the
entire southern Philadelphia 1sle-
