)MS IS OF KF.PKESBNTATION.
Th . diversity of the views expressed in
rt , ss regarding the basis of representa-
. = sh „w S bow indigested is the subject in
TmindsDfcits members. The variety of
,, ...(.positions offered in relation to the
kind and extent of suffrage to be allowed
,1 . ireedmeii of I he District of Columbia,
.vinees the difficulty of reconciling princi
ples of umv
, eri al acceptance with certain ab
stract notions of liberty- To confer tb e
franchise without restriction or limitation.
w „uld be such a departure from all sound
legislation.
that those who are in favor of the
largest liberty
to the freedmen, are startled
at their own proposition. Universal suffrage,
without either pecuniary qualification or ed
ucation^ prerequisite, would be such a pre-
c.dent as do government should set, that
makes any pretence to civilization-
Yet so confused and muddled are the no-
tious of the radical portion of Congress, that,
between their ideas of universal ireedora and
that share of liberty that is proper for those
recently liberated from bondage, that they
cun strike no middle grouud that is practical.
Tueir minds are in a sea of doubt. Unable
to find a resting place between natural and
political right, there ‘ is nothing definite in
their conclusions. It asked, why not, in
conformity with their abstractions, extend
the suffrage to women and children, they ot.
fer no good reason why the privilege of vot
ing should be extended to only a part of those
who should he equal in the eye of the law,
and not to the whole—why the persons and
properly of all should not be represented.—
If the prayer of that petition should be grant
ed that has emanated from those strong-
minded females, who claim tbe exercise of
tin. suffrage for their sex without limitation,
why not also give them the privilege of
sitting in Legislatures, in courts of justice,
and commanding armies ? Can an intelligi
ble Hue he drawu between those who arc to
make the laws valid by their suffrages, and
the law-makeis themselves, between those
who are to frame and those who are to ad
minister them ? • \
The uni vasal suffrage advocates in Eng
land have not yet ptoceeded as far as to con
tend for the extension of civil privileges to
both sexes, and although some of the most
intelligent of that class, such as John Stuart
Mill, have urged the admission of females to
the rights of suffrage, their good sense has
suggested the distinction between the right
of protection to person and property, and the
privilege of making and administering the law,
as well as the policy of imposing restric ions
on the right of suffrage.
There are evidently two parties in Con
gress—one the radical* that is opposed to
limitation of every kind, whether ot civil or
political privileges ; the other consulting the
lights of history and experience, are favor
able lo such restrictions as will place the ne
gro under similar probation that they would
all other classes who claim the privilege of
citizens. The government has arrived at that
stage which shows the presence ofa struggle
betweeu the conservative and destructive
elements of the government. This question
of the suffrage brings the two antagonistic
powers of our political system into conflict.
The success of the radicals on this question
of the suffrage would be followed by other
triumphs. The character of our institutions
would be changed- They would assume tbe
features of ultiaisru in all respects. We arc,
however, in no apprclieusion as regards the
results. Wc will not anticipate the possi
bility that a dominant taction, red-republi
can in aims and aspirations will obtain a ma
jority iu both Houses of Congress, and so
shape the policy of the government as to
lead to a change in the character of the gov
ernment itself.
TIIE LATEST .NORTHERN NEWS.
The following is the news contained in the
New York papers of the 2Cth inst., received
last evening, which as will be seen is highly
important:
It is announced from Washington that
Generals Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan and
Meade, the commanders of four of the five
grand military divisions into which the coun
try is now partitioned, will assemble in
Washington next week for consultation with
General Grant and the government authori
ties relative to the condition of affairs in their
respective departments.
Gen. Crawford, who has lately figured
■somewhat conspicuously in despatches from
the Rio Grande border as an American of
ficer eudeavoring to raise in Texas a division
of troops for the Mexican republican service,
has been arrested at New Orleans by order
of General Sheridan, and committed to Fort
Jackson.
The thirty-fifth aunual assemblage of the
Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was held
Ju Boston, the 25th instant. A resolution
was proposed to dissolve the society, on the
grouud that slavery having ceased to exist
in the eouutry, the work of the organization
is at au end. Lloyd Garrison supported and
Wenuell Phillips opposed tbe resolution, and
the society finally agreed to continue its ex
istence, and officers for the ensuing year
were therefore elected. -,
A report was in circulation two weeks ago
that the President would speedily issue a
.proclamation declaring the rebellion at au end
and civil 1^ restored throughout the lale
insurrectionary States. His delay in so do
ing is now attributed to the non-arrival of
expected official correspondence from Pro
visional Governor Hamilton, of Texa^.
The Senate Postoffice Committee have au
thorized their chairman to report in favor of
the recommendation made by the Postmas
ter General to allow the Southern Postmas
ters to procure postage stamps on time, by
giving the requisite security! This will be a
great relief to the South, as the Postmasters
At present are entirely unable to pay for the
stamps in advauce.
A discharged negro soldier shot and killed
a Mr. Tillman and severely wounded a Mr.
Cohen, at Colftersville, Tenn., recently. The
citizens became so enraged that the negro
was immediately shot and the head of the
wretched man severed from bis body.
THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.
Statement of tile President’s Views in
Regard to Reconstruction and
Party Politics.
Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette :
Washington, Friday, Jan. 11, 18GC.
I have not been swift to rush into print
with garbled statements of what tbe Presi
dent said to Senator Smith and Representa
tive Jones, (as retailed by them on the ave
nues,) concerning his relations to Congress,
and the existing differences of policy. I
have thought it more respectful at once to
the President and to my readers to say noth
ing till I could speak advised)}’.
But it is wejl that the countiy should un
derstand precisely how the President does
talk, and how the representatives of the
people talk to him. If a breach between
them is widening, the country should know
who widens it; if a disposition to conciliate
is shown—who shows it; if an indifference to
consequences—who manifests that. I have
therefore takeu pains to procure correct ac
counts of several recent interviews with the
President. Careful minutes of some were
made at the time, and I am writing with
these before me.
WHAT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN
SUGGESTED. •
In one case, several members, popularly
knowu as Radicals, said to the President that
if he would be satisfied with constitutional
amendments, basing representation on voters,
making all men equal before the law, except
ing iu the matter of suffrage, repudiating
rebel debt, and guaranteeing national obli
gations, they would make an effort to bring
the party iu Concress lo an adjustment of
the reconstruction question on that basis, and
would even go to the length ot admitting
Tennessee iu advance of all the other States,
and of the general adoption of this policy by
the South, if she would individually agree to
these amendments.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS OF CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.
Without entering into any serious coosid •
eration ot their subject matter, the President
said that he had objections on general grouud*
to aDy constitutional amendments. He had
once been iu favor of some himself, and was
on the record in their favor: hut these were
changed times, and the tendency was too
great toward unsettling the foundation of
things. These frequent amendments were
calculated to weaken the force and siolemn
sanction of the constitution, and make its
provisions like the work of town meetings.
As to any propositions for making the pay
ment ot the rebel debt unconstitutional, he
considered them unnecessary and doubted
their propriety. The Southern people were
in no danger of ever wanting to pay those
debts. Tiie objections in the South to their
payment would every year grow stronger
and stronger. •- How would it look to provide
by a constitutional amendment that tbe
United Stales debt should not be repudiated?
Yet this would he no lamp improper than
the other. Furthermore, there was gross iu-
consisteucy in the proposed mode of secur
ing these constitutional amendments. They
were to be proposed by a Congress from
which tbe South was excluded. Then the
rebel States, who were unfit to be represent
ed iu Congress, were to be considered lit to
ratify a constitutional amendment. If they
were cxpectecHm States to act upon the
question of ratifying them, they should he
permitted, through their representatives in
Congress, to act also in proposing them • In
effect, he did not think it right to demaud
the adoption of any constitutional amend
ment as a condition of admitting Southern
members to Congress, because tiios.e States
were in now and entitled to all the rights of
States.
LEGAL GUARANTEES SUGGESTED.
Perhaps the most generally accepted plan
of reorganization involves constitutional
amendments- But there are others in Con
gress who prefer to regulate Jhe whole sub
ject by law Airfoug these are the most who
wish to meet squarely the rugged issue of
negro suffrage. In the last Congress Mr.
Winter Davis came very near carrying
through such a law. Substantially tbe same
remeasure is now before Congress again, and
is known as Ashley’s hill. Numerous Con
gressmen have urged this upon the Presi
dent's attention, and more have pressed the
general policy ot providing by law than by
constitutional amendment the guaranties
which the entire Uniou party (with excep
tions too insignificant to mention; agree in
considering essential to any safe organiza
tion.
To such suggestions the President has re
plied that he considered Mr. Ashley's mea
sure simply a bill for the dissolution of the
Union. He had risked bis own life and pro
perty to preserve the Union. The people of
the country stood and bad stood upon the
position that tiie rebellion was to be put
down, and the States thereby kept in the
Union. Mr. Ashley’s bill how proposed to
turn them out and prescribe conditions for
their return.
He thought the true course for the Union
party to pursue was “with open arms and
cordial hands’’ to welcome these Slates into
a participation in the government. Thus we
would have them as the friends ot the Union
party, and not make them its enemies by
blamming the door in their faces.
THE PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT OF HIS OWN
THEORY OF RECONSTRUCTION.
In such connections, the President has
more than once stated his own theory of re
construction in words much more explicit
than haye found their way into tbe public
doc n meats.
During the rebellion the loyal government
bad in a sense been overthrown. It was,
therefore, the fluty of the United States, and
of the President, during this time, to do all
in their power to secure to these States re
publican governments. This became espe
cially his own duty, as one charged with
seeing that the laws were executed. His own
action in prescribing terms upon which these
States should be recognized, in so far us he
had prescribed any, not >u harmony with
their forms of State government, or in so far
as it seamed to apply that they would not
be recognized as States unless they complied
with his conditions, was in reality and was
meaut onlv to be sdyisorv. fie had not in
tended that his own requirements should be
considered as conditions precedent, which
the Executive, or any branch, or all branch
es of tbe government had any right to exact,
before these States should be entitled to re
cognition as States of the pinion.
In fact these States were entitled to be
represented in Congress all through the re
bellion. Indeed, there was greater reason
for their being then represented than there
was at other times. Congress had repeated
ly dealt with them as States during the re
bellion. Members from Virginia, lor exam
ple, were admitted. Direct taxes were ap
portioned among them just as among tbe
other Stales. The ninth section of the act
of the 7th of June, 1862, in its latter clauses
recognized the same-principle’
The rebel States are, therefore, now in tbe
Union. Indeed, their governments are more
republican, more democratic, more in har
mony with the spirit of our institutions than
they ever were before. If Congress would
only look out there noiy» it would see legis
lators. Governors, State officers of all grades,
members of Congress, all elected by the peo
ple : courts iu session, taxes being collected,
mails being carried- Surely tnese made
Slates in the Union, if they were ever unt
OF THE ADMISSION OF SOUTHERN MEMBERS Of
CONGRESS.
In numerous interviews the President has
stated to different gentlemen, in substantially
the. same language, bis views concerning the
admission of rebel Congressmen. In one of
tiie minutes before me I find a memorandum
to this effect:
He repeatedly alluded to its being the pre
rogative and constitutional duty of each
House to judge of the merits of each claim
ant’s election by itself. This also was the
wise way of keeping bad men out of Con
gress, who might not, through personal dis
qualification, he entitled to seats. -But it
was grossly wrong to exclude States because
of objections to individuals. Each claimant’s
case should rest on and be decided according
lo his individual merits. ,
Representation in Congress was but one of
the rights of States under the Constitution.
Exclusion from Congress does not, therefore,
preveut these retiel States from enjoying and
exercising other constitutional rights over
which Congress, in spite of its denial qf their
rights, lias no control.
THE PRESIDENT ON PARTY POLICY.
Iu the ,ame line of conversation, the Pre
sident, a few days ago, said to certain Repre
sentatives, that' the South had traveled a
great way in a short lime. They had freed
the slaves. They had provided that no fu
ture legislation should enslave them. They
had recognized certain civil rights ot the late
slaves They had adopted the constitutional
amendment prohibitifig slavery.
Under such cucumstances tbe public sen
timent of the countiy would sooner or later
insure their recognition by Congress. For
himself, he would feel a peisonal pride in
having tliis accomplished by tbe same Union
party which bad carried the country through
the war. Such a party, with such a history,
ought to finish its work by bringing back all
these States into their true relations in a fully
restored Union.
Recently certain prominent men of Massa
chusetts. in a conversation with him, had
disclosed a fear that our party ascendancy
might be endangered if tbe South should
come in, and should act (as it always used to
aci) as a unit. Yet how many members
were there to be let in from the rebel States ?
Only fifty eight: But the House has now
over two hundred. (In this the President
made a mistake. The House has but one
hundred and eighty-two. j It argued a large
amount of distrust of the North, aud a large
estimate of ibe power of these fifty-eight, to
suppose that tbey could ruin the Government
or obtain the ascendancy in Congress.
FEELING AND BEARING OF THE PRESIDENT.
Throughout all these interviews the Presi
dent's manner lias been kind aud considerate.
No lack of respect has been shown for Con
gressmen; no disposition to attempt any co
ercive measures. On the other hand, he has
exhibited no sense of dependence on Con
gress, aud no feeling of even tiie slightest ap
prehension as to the result. He constantly
refers to “the people,” with a manifest con
viction that public sentiment is overwhelm
ingly on his side, and that in the event of
any difference between himself and Congress
on these points, the party and the country
will be sure to sustain him.
I do not believe there i* any evidence
whatever that the President has made a sin
gle step toward the employipept of his pat
ronage as a means of enforcing bis views.—
Members of the Cabinet expressly deny that
anything of the sort has ever beeq suggested
to them, and the only cases I have been abl^,
to discover, opt of which tbp rumors have
grown, have been those in which' ambitious
and super-serviceable assistant Secretaries
have undertaken to lay down rules for which
they had no authority.
Whatever may be the possibilities of a
breach between the President and bis party,
frankness and fair dealing arc not likely to
increuse them. It is in tnis spirit he has dis
cussed with members of Congress, and it is
for the reason that the country deserves the
same treatment that I have written.

Important to Planters and Capitalist*.
Tiie present disorganized state of planta
tion labor rendering, it very difficult, and on
many plantations utterly impossible lo culti
vate cotton to the same extent as formerly,
the question naturally suggested, “can any
other crop be raised during the present year,
(at least) instead of cotton, so as to yield an
equal or greater value, with the labor now
available ?” A solution of the question will
be found in the following statement of facts:
Being interested in the growth of the Castor
Bean Seed, and having many years ago ob
served its growth as a weed in the vicinity of
Savannah, where it still grows spontaneous
ly, on the 24th of Jan. last 1 invited Dr. J.
J. Graves, an eminent scientific gentleman
of Maryland, to accompany me ana examine
a li.rge number of uncultivated plants then
standing on tbe common lands and loaded
with seed. We found by counting, from ten
to thirty bunches on each plant. Assuming
the lesser number as a base of calculation,
and taking one Lunch, and carefully count
ing it, we found it contajped <591 seeds, aud
that 176 of these seeds weighed one once,
and that consequently the plant bad on it
about 40 ounces, or 2 1 2 pbunds of the clean
seed.
Assuming reasonably that with system and
cultivation'll will yielu at least as much as it
does in the wild slate, and to obviate all
doubts thereon, we will assume the very low
estimate of one pound only lo each plant,
and giving twenty-five square feet to each—
that is, planting them fife feet apart each way,
gives 1,760 plants, apd CRnseqpeotly that
number of pounds of clean seed to each acre.
The simplicity of its culture, requiring only
once plowing and barrowing betore planting,
and afterwards only once with the cultivator,
aud thinning out to a single plant, would en
able a .prime band and team to work from
25 to 35’ acres, according to condition and
quality of the land. The same hand and
team would be available for any other pur
pose, alter the plants had fairly started grow-
fng—say ffom May 1st to about July 1st, when
the gathering of the crop commences, and
continues at intervals of about 10 days uuti)
all is gathered, or interrupted by frost.
Taking the lower figure as to number of
acres to each hand (say 25 acres), the yield
w.onld leach (44,000 lbs.) say forty-four thou
sand pounds, which, at three cents per
poppd, will give thirteen hundred and twen
ty dollars to the single hand.
The absence ot fences peed 'pot fletpr or
prevent the cultivation of this crop, as no
live stock or vermin are known to tooch it,
and Its rapid growth will enable the planter
to realize cash therefor earlier than any other
known crop.
To enabje those who may desire to give
this crop a full and fair trial, on and after
February 12th I shall be prepared to turoisb
the best Virginia Castor Seed, and contract
for the entire crop of any party who may
choose to engage in it, and, as an additional
and important inducement, it is only required
to deliver tbe article in bulk at Savannah, or,
if more convenient for transportation, I will
furnish hags in season lor its conveyance,
thus saving all costs for the' some to the
planter. Cash at the above rates will be
paid on delivery at Savannah. For further
particulars address J W- 9“ E ^2 B T>

Death of Miss Bremer.—The Stockholm
papers announce the death of Miss Frederica
Bremer, the celebrated. Swedish novelist.
Miss Bremer was born in Abo, in Finland,
in 1802. After spending several years in
Norway and Stockholm as a teacher^she de
voted herself entirely to literary pursuits.
Her first novels, The President's Daughters’
and the ‘Neighbors,’ had a great success, and
were translated into most European lan
guages. Miss Bremer traveled a good deal,
and visited Germany, France, 'England,.
America, Italy, and tbe East.
The Money Market.
Assuming there is no unsoundness of trade,
the present further advance in the rate for
money is of course only to be taken as evi
dence of great prosperity, since wc are to
suppose that people would uot apply tor
money at eight per ceut. unless tbey were
sure tbey conld employ it upon terms to
render it worth while. It, then, it is simply
an indication of the gain to be made by
those who are fortunate enough to get tbe
use of it at that rate, no one can 'complain of
tbe rise. On tbe other band, if there, be
anything unsound iu tbe existing course of
operations, it is plain that unsouodness could
but tie encouraged by any, continuance or
increase of exisiiug” facilities, and that tbe
severe movement must be endured aud wel
comed by all respectable traders as the only
means of cure. Few persons now
doubt that tbe main cause of the condition
of our money market is to be found in a se
ries qt unlimited consignments of good upon
credit to America. Tbe latest Board of
Trade returns have shown tbe nature of
those consignments, and there can be no
question that the figures for December will
involve still more extraordinary totals. On
the other hand, we get no proportionate re
turns, cither in the shape of bullion, cotton,
wheat, or other products, tbe receipts being
far below instead of above the usual quanti
ties. If our Manchester and Birininghau,
firms feel sufficiently safe in these transac
tions to afford to lie out of their money and
to pay eight per cent for temporary accom
modation* they are quite right to carry them
on; but they must not do so aud at
the same time grumble at the results. While
they are congratulating themselves on
their wonderful profits, they should
look with complacency on the mode
rate extent to which such profits
are shared by tlig bankers aud capitalists
who assist them in their proceedings. With
regard to the future prospects of the market,
even if the present rise should induce a pause
in the eager transmission of capital and goods
to the other side ol the Atlantic, it is impos
sible to anticipate any very early permanent
reaction. The difference of three per cent,
between tbe Paris and London rates will
doubtless, continue to draw French capital
to our .relief, but the amount thus drawn al
ready is believed to be excessively large,
and whatever may be its extent it consti
tutes a debt that must be provided for when
ever France shall require repayment.—j Lon
