BUFFALO, April 27-Erroneous statements
made In the press render 1t necessary to say,
on the authority of the embalmer and under
taker, that no particular change has taken
place in the body OF the late President since
leaving Washington,


Washington physicians removed part OF the
brain only for autopsy, but this was replaced,
SO that no part Of the body whatever is now
deficient.


The rem aims were visited through the day
from half past nine this morning until eight
O'Clock this evening by immense numbers Of
persons. The arrangements generally are
pronounced better than elsewhere on the route.


The procession with the remains left st.

crowd. The depot was surrounded by per-
sons anxious to get a last view of the coffin.

WHAT ARE WOMEN To Do Men are
educated to trades, crafts. or professions :;
men are taught to rely on themselves sole

that adapts itself TO almost any form or

trying cases before the bar, Jones can at
least be carpenter, or invent a machine
for the furtherance of perpetual motion
He is never at loss. But all this, which
is regularly taught to men, women have
to find out for themselves. The pressure
is so great that the escape valveimust spring

1t is said that Matthias never gave q sin

made was that he should be allowed to 90

Meanwhile the Governor of Tarsus
heard what had happened to Matthias,
and was stricken with rage, and caused
his mule to be saddled and his guards to
be mounted, and set forth to the monas

It fell out, therefore, that after month

He argued that the reconstruction
adopted so promptly was the most wise
course to be pursued. The plan, he said
giTes two great national advances in the
progress of moral and political elevation,
which are row to be made fast and firmly
fixed FIRST, it secures voluntary Gboli~
ton of slavery by the insurrectionarv
states; and. secondly, an efFectual adoption
by the late slave states themselves of the
amendment to the federal constitution
prohibiting slavery forever in any part of
the Union


To hasten the work of reconstruction,
he urged in the language of the President





Of too much leniency on the part of the
President, he said except those who have
been MANNED or bereaved, none have suf-
fcred more of wrong insult and idso!ence
at the hands of the leaders of the rebel
lion, than ihe President and cannot we
forget, where he cannot forgive? His
terms Of amnesty are far more rigorous
than those offered by Abraham Lincoln

Other nations have presented claims
against this government for alleged injur-
les to them or their subjects He believed
the President would cocduct these affairs
in such a manner as to yield and recover
iniemnities justly due, without any com
promise Of the national dignity and
honor


With whatever jealousy we may adhere
to our inherited principles Of freedom
without entanglinG alliances with foreign
nations, we must continue to exercise
just and benifcent influence in the inter
national conduct of orr foreign states

NeW ork, Oct. y, %.


Secretary Seward yesterday delivered
an address to- the citizens of Auburn
After congratulating the country upon the
retnrn Of peace, he referred to Andrew
Johnson, saying that in the opening of
the rebellion it was necessary that pop
ular i Ter should arise on behalf Of the
country, man from hcsitating bordor
State, a stakeholder in practice though
not in principle and yet in principle and
association Democrat


Andrew johnson with the consent of
the whole American people, assumed the
great possibility. President Lincoln
announced .hat slavery should be treated
as public enemy. Andrew johnson en-
dorsed the announcements The attempts
ed revolution eliminated when our ma
tional banners was successfully replanted
in Tennessee. From that time, though it
was necessary to prosecute the war with
such energies as human nature had never
before exerted, it was equally needfnl to
prosecute the benificent work of restoring
the Union


The abolition Of slavery was thence
forth equally an element of persistent
war, and of returning peace.


Andrew johnson was ftly appointed
the first Of the Provisional Governors for
the prosecution Of these double and di-
verse purposes Of war and peace, ana was
subsequently elected Vice President, and
in the end constitutionalIy inaugurated
President of the United States


We are continually hearing debates
concerning the origin and authority Of the
plan Of reconstruction New converts
north and south call it the Presidents
plan All speak Of it as if it was a new
and recent Development On the CONTRARY,
we now see that it IS not specially Pres
ident Johnson's plan in any respect. 1t
is the plan which abruptly yet distinctly
offered itself to the last administration at
the moment when the work of restoration
was TO begin. 1t is essential that the in
surrectionary States shall accept this pl II.
This IS what I meant when ] said to Mr.
Adams that IN the sense in which the
word subiugatior was used by our ene-
mics it was not the expectation or pur-
pose Of this government that the Southern
States shuld be subjugated, but that, by
the plan adopted, they could be brought
to voluntary return to their allegiance.
The plan therefore recognizes not their
destruction but their active existence -
The absolute existence of States which
constitute the Republic is the most pal
pable Of all the fact with which the Am
erican statesman has to deal


He spoke of the American Union as a
system TO which states are attached as
limbs, and said if a limb is broken off 1t

The results which are destined to flow

The new era of sugar manufacture will, to
a great extent, derange the old currents of

compacted both in bulk and value, for the

by escaping eastward freight on the corn

The Board Of Registry Of this town at

in making list Of those entitled to vote,
we're governed by the act Of congress Of
March 81, the Presidents proclamation in
relation to that act, and the Attorney
Generals Opinion as to the legality Of the
action Of congress The act referred to
dclsres the following classes to have for
feitcd the rights Of citizenship:

on o. 54jore the 10th day Of May 1865.

have gone beyond the lines Of the United
States, to avo5d aay draft into the military
or naval service of the United States.


Ia regard to those named as the first
and second classes, there can be 10 doubt,
and it is clearly the duty Of the Board Of
Registry to omit their names in making
the list But it is rather difficult task
to ascertain beyond a doubt, who actually
did depart the district in which they were
enrolled, for the sole purpose Of a0oidjaq

Of Dodgeville, which will be found else
where in this issue, will probably contain

the names ofsome who come under the
structures Of this law, and if so, they should
be stricken off.


This can be done, by the affidavit Of two
persons, proving to the satisfaction Of the
Board that such persons, have been dis
franchised, by act Of congress, or are in
any other way unqualified to vote at the
coming election. Any names Of qualified
voters which may have been omitted from
