WEEKLY ENQUIRER. JOHN II. MAKTIN, ... Kit 11 or COLUMBUS: TUESDAY, APRIL A, 1870. TKItMN OF Ml'HNC'ltlPTION « One Year (in advance). •** ,, ‘ l THE PROCLAMATION—MOKE JF<» GLING. There in btit littlo if any doubt Hint President Grant hud repeatedly declared, up to tin* week, that ho could not issue the proclamation of the adoption of the 1 .Mli Amendment until Georgia and T«*» h should be admitted and their ratillcationa counted. He doubted the validity of the ratification by tho Legislature of Indiana, and tho revocation of tho ratification of New York made it tnoro than doubtful whether flint State could be countod. Yet we see both of them counted in the proc lamation. and by including them there is an enumeration of only one State more thnii tin* requiaitoThroo-fourtba. It ap pears. therefore, that Home great, pressure must have brought about a proclamation which a large portion of the people, of all classes, will consider premature. And n Washington dispatch of Saturday last no doubt reveals what that pressure was. It said: “A delegation of Connecticut rep- resentalivea are hero to hco if Oourgia and Texas cannot ponaibly bo admitted, and the l‘.th Amendment proclamation issued next week, ao that the 1500 rylored voters can participate in th« election one week from Monday. If this in not done they will lose the State, as the Democrats estimate now that it will do carried by Ms»o anti Radical majority. The Prom dent lias been implored to do Hoiiiolliing, but be says that lie cannot legally issue the proclamation till Goorgin and Tt are admitted. The Connecticut negroes have been previously registered." (icorgia has not been “admitloti”— ban not been countod. Hut the Senate, in a most extraordinary uiauner, took the of Tcxhh from the connideratiou of Judiciary Committee, two or three days ago, and hurriedly pawned the bill admit ting that Slate. There had evidently been an agreement with the President that In would issue the proclamation an noon a* Texan should be admitted, and not wait for Georgia to be taken in. The Conner Iicut ItudicalN were in a desperate strait they must have the Amendment befort their April election, or lose the State I’ut there was so much Itadical disagree meat in Congress concerning (inorgia a to preclude the hope that she, too, eoitk Ini admitted and her ratification counted before tho Connecticut election: there fore a majority of three-fourths must >”.nth ,r, |i,i made up without In r.

IN A RAD FIX. A private letter from Washington gives the following illustration of the estimate which won'd-bc Republican** hold their lenders—the Radical bummers. venerable *•/’»«I'-iibt "nder oil c,r- nnn*tetnce* % " chancing lately to Hojotirn for n day «»r two in Wnslungton, an “in duty bound called to p*y his ru-pocts to the*l’resident.

We noticed this morning the arrest and onfinemeut in prison of John Steven*-, .imp, a worthy citizen and upright mer chant, charged with no crime, but simply to extort from him supposed knowledge of uffenso committed by other parties. Thig outrage is totally unnecessary arid uncalled for. If he is possessed of any in formation, and is placed on the witness stand, none who know him hut will vouch thut he will tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Do the powers that be require more ? Tho United States District Court is now session ; it had a Grand Jury regularly sworn in. Why not summon him before that body to elicit tho facts wanted, if he knew them. One week ago, last night, Mr. Fred. S. Lamb, the venerable bridge-keeper at (oswell bridge, Mr. Adam Legg, who re- ides some four miles beyond the bridge across the river;, Mr. John Adams, who i ves one mile, and J. L. Wing, who lives wo miles this side of tho bridge, wero ar rested by tho military, and have been sept in imprisonment ever since. The umd of their arrest seems to be simply this : A negro woman, living about four miles thi-* side «.f the bridge, was killed several weeks ago, supposed by a baud of three disguised mm. as three men. disguised ,ind mounted, crossed and rccrossed th* bridge that night. The bridge-keeper. Mr. I nmb. was released yesterday, a* no in formation could be extracted from him. I lie others are suspected to know some thing about the murder or the murderer**. M-. Wing is well known in this city, as a quiet, inoffensive man. ‘ A negro man named Joe. reputed to bo a notorious thief, is said to have been Dm hu -bund of the murdered woman. A few weeks previous to the murd - r . Mr. Wing had the negro Joe arre-di d for stealing oats from his bam.
