THE IIICCUWSTIIUCTIOM COMMITTEE
ON THE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
Tiie Washington correspondent ot' the
N.‘W York Herald, writing under date of the
30th nit., says: “A meeting of the Recon
struction Committee was held this morning,
which lasted for some time. The question
of restoring South Carolina and Arkansas
to their former relations with the other
States was considered at length, and the
Constitution of the first named State, which
is the only one here, was the subject of dis
cussion. No final conclusion was arrived
at, the whole matter being postponed until
the Constitutions of the other Southern
States arrive. The purpose of the Com
mittee is to have all the Southern Statos re
stored to the Uuion under Constitutions as
nearly alike as possible, and presenting a
positive uniformity on the subjects of edu
cation and suffrage. On Saturday next
another meeting will be held, at which time
it is expected that the Constitutions of Ar
kansas, North Carolina, Georgia and Loui:
iana will have arrived, and the Committee
be euabiod to adopt some definite plan of
restoration. It is believed, however, and
generally conceded, that all of the States
will be admitted to representation and to
their former positions in the Union, under
the bill reported on yesterday in the
House.”
The bill referred to requires, among other
conditions, that the Constitution shail never
be altered bo aa to deprive negroes of the
right of suffrage, or to enfranchise whites
who are disfranchised by the Reconstruction
laws.
CHATHAM’9 DISGRACE.
Commenting on the election of the convict
negro. Bradley, the Atlanta Intelligencer
says :
“Perhaps in the election of this depraved
individual to the State Senate, by the negro
Radicals of Chatham county, no stronger
evidence cou.d be adduced of their utter de-
momiizition, ignorance, and recklessness
A convicted felon, expelled irom the late
Radical Convention on that account, ne yet
had the audacity to become a candidate to
represent a county in which is located the
first city in the State, and, astoundiug ,£3 it
is, he has been elected. In the name of ah
that is decent and honest, we protest against
this outrage, this monstrous iniquity, aud we
appeal to the Northern Press that tney note
it, aud show to their readers what are the sad
consequences, as illustrated in this case oi
Bradley, of negro suffrage, and negroes hold
ing office. W e sicken at the thought of
wnat must be the condition of the Soutn
under negro Radical rule. Its contiuuauce
will necessarily impoverish and make it no
fit place forany other than the negro race to
dwell in; and deserted by all save them, who
cannot predict, with the history of the Brit
ish negro colonies fresh in their minds, what
is to be its sad fate ! To the Democracy of
xhe North, the Democracy of the South
makes appeal to blot out the foul spot which
negro Radicalism uas put npon her. To the
rescue, we beseech them to come !”

Tile Democratic Natfoaal Convention.
The Washington correspondent of the New
Tork Herald telegraphs to that journal that
the Congressional Democratic Executive
Committee have unanimously passed reso
lutions requesting the Democratic National
Committee to reconsider their previous ac
tion, and issue a call for the Presidential
Nominating Convention to meet in New
York early in June, instead of on the 4th
of J uly, as no w arranged for. This was done
because there was a general feeling that the
day of meeting previously fixed was too dis
tant, and that the political necessities of the
Democratic parly demand au earlier declara
tion of princjpels and nomination of candi
dates for President and Vice-President.
Marriage of Gen. Hood.—We find the
following pleasant announcement in the New
Orleans Picayune of Friday:
We have a pleasant surprise to give our
leaders. The gallant, brave and universally
beloved Gun. Hood was married yesterday
evening to Mma Anna Hennen, daughter of
the late Duncan N. Hennen, Ejq.
Loafers are to be shown but little mercy
in Chicago. The Councils have passed an
ordinance authorizing magistrates to fioe
them $25 for the first, $50 for the second,
and $ too for the third offence, and as much
as they may think proper to impose. A rigid
enforcement of such a law would fill some
city treasuries that we know of.
I: The Chicago loafers, being good Radicals
should emigrate to the dominions of General
Canby or Mayor Blodgett* where they would
be supported by public charity.
AWasbiogton dispatch says there is a
very strong feeling against any member of
Congress going into Mr. Wade’s cabinet,
should he become acting .President. This
sentiment is so powerful that it is believed
the Senate would reject each nomination if
made. ■ . 'J- . - -
■IONS OF A DEMOCRATIC REBELLION
IN THE WEST.
A bill has baen introduced into the Ohio
House of Representatives to take from the
Governor and Adjutant General the control
of the State Arsenal and other military pro
perty, and transfer the same to the House
and Senate Committees on Military Affairs.
Another bill was also introduced to repeal
the act which prohibits the carrying con
cealed weapons. Commenting on the intro
duction of ^hese extraordinary measures, the
Ohio State Journal sayiiT
We are not an alarmist,but it seem9 impos
sible to regard these movements in any outer
light than as the first step toward the inau-
5 illation of another Democratic rebellion.
_ - nliV.l.j at Waah i nr..
In view of the aspect of affairs at Washing
ton, this attempt to place the military power
of the Stale in the hands of a couple of
Democratic members ot the Legislature is
nothing less than au attempt to place Ohio
in rebellion against the Government of the
United States, in case the United Slates Sen
ate in the execution of its constitutional aud
rightful authority should remove Andrew
Johnson from the office which he has dis
graced.
We should regard this extraordinary move-
mem as startling and alarming if it wore
within the constitutional power of the Legis
lature to take from the Governor, aud com
mander-in-chief, aud other executive officers,
the authority which belongs to them as such
chief executive officers, and by au act trims -
fer that authority to members of their own
legislative body. Tne idea is preposterous.
But loyal men must be on the alert. Let ali
friends of good government and order sound
.'.Ha alarm Tliia T. -•rnfilflt’.ilPft is lit lOf ‘*Lfen*
the alarm. This Legislature is fit for “trea
son, stratr.gtms, and spoils.
The editor feels secure under the protec
tion of the constitution which limits the
powers of the Legislature, prohibiting its
usurpation of the authority of the Governor
aud other chief executive officers of the State.
If, as the old adage says, “curses, likeyouug
chickens, come home to roost,’’ audpoli.ical
unscrupulous and villainies like other
crimes, “return to plague the inventors.”
May they not be some just ground to appre
hend that the Democrats—driven to the ne
cessity of self-defence—will follow the ex
ample of the Radicals in disregarding Con
stitutions and laws. The Democracy have
yet a State Government of which they have
the control. By trampliDg the Constitution
underfoot, by the destruction of the Su
preme Court, and the usurpation of the
powers of the President, the Radicals are
seeking to perpetuate their lawless rule, in
defiance of the rights of the States, and the
will of the white race. In utter disregard
of the Constitution and laws, and in open
violation of the spirit of the Federal com
pact, the Radicals are fast consummating a
sbheme of centralized despotism designed to
secure their party in absolute, irrepressible
and perpetual power. They have achieved
their success by violence. They are fools if
they suppose the Democracy of the country
will quietly submit rather than follow their
bad example. Violence begets violence.
A Singular Romance.
M. De Pene narrates in the Irjdependen
Beige the following extraordinary story:
I know a young gentleman named (I will say
Charles), who has been the hero of a singular
romance. On coming of age he entered on a
Parisian life with 25,000 francs a year. Fort;
years ago the young mirhflors in Paul DeKock's
romances played Satanically ou six thousand
francs, rolled in cabriolets, acd kept danseuses.
Times are changed since then, and Charles
could not keep a carriage nor a stylish dan-
seuse, aud no one ever spoke of his losin;
money at the club. But lie contrived to ruin
himself, though. He went iuto the world, he
went to the club, and kept a mistress, but
did all this witliiu bis means. His weakness
was that of lending to any friend who asked.
He was never repaid, and when he found
bia fortune more than half gone, instead of
economizing, he tried speculating in stocks, a!
which be lost continually.
Nearly ruined, he had, however, nothing of
the air of an unlucky fellow. He went to the
first ball of the carnival. There a lady in a
black satin domino and mask showed marked
preference for his society. Through her mask
it was evident that her eyes and teeth were
magnificent, an,d her figure was tali aud stri
kingly elegant, while a little hand, neatly
gloved, waved in graceful gesures. For two
hours the pair passed the time delightfully.
“Let us go to supper,*’ said Charles.
The lady unmasked and displayed a face
which stops growing old at thirty, though its
possessor may be forty. Its lines were pei-
fectly statuesque, and the young man thought
he had never seen a more enchanting woman.
Suddenly she astonished him by saying:
“ 1 have a son of your age.”
This was startling, nay incredible. The
lady continued:
“lama widow, and for reasons which I will
explain, I have had occasion to make the strict
est inquiries as to your life. I find that you
have been ruined, not by vice, but by gene
rosity, and that you have rare talents, and are in
every respect, save your recklessness, a man to
be loved and esteemed. My husband ; eft me
two millions of francs, and I have a charming
daughter. There are family reasons, unknown
to you, which give you a right to our intimacy
and a share in our fortune.”
These reasons were very singular. The
lady’s father had been a steward to the grand
father of Charles, and not a very faithful stew
ard, since he had, by abusing his trust, made a
fortune and run away to Poland. Here he in
creased his ill-gotten capital, and married into
a rich and noble family. Here he died, leaving
the two millions, the widow and children.
The widow, who knew his history, employed
a secret agent to ascertain if Charles was a
deserving young man, and found that he was
something more. The young man mariied her
daughter, and now’all goes well.
Clerical Carpet-Baggers.—The dele
gates from the South in the General Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church now
in session at Cnicago are doubtless just such
representatives of the Southern people as
those elected to the various State Conven
tions by the negroes, and perhaps such as
the new Senators and Governor of Arkan
sas-clerical carpet-baggers, in short. The
political history of this Northern Methodist
Church, its greed for office, its bad influence
upon the minds of the classes it reaches, and
its avowed determination of becoming a par
tisan power in the land, are well calculated
to satisfy all reflecting men that it is fortu
nate for the liberties of our people and the
welfare of our country that there are so many
denominations in the United States. If this
were the only Church, the South would be
ground under the heels of such a tynanny
as neither Pope nor Sheridan attempted to
establish.—Richmond Dispatch.
Suicides in London.—The London Morn
ing Star sa y§ : “The number of suicides by
drowning has increased to an alarming ex
tent of late. We are afraid to enumerate
those that have taken place only within the
lpst fortnight. How is it that one can
hardly take up a newspaper without seeing
an account of one or two of these melan
choly occurrences ? Is it that the average
of misery is higher among us than among
other peoples, or, simply, that we do our
reporting better ? The last suicide to be
added to the list is that of a respectable
yonng girl, who yesterday morning jumped
off London Bridge after a quarrel with her
lover.” TV
Mb. Johnson after Conviction.—Rumors
are afloat that a canvass for him is being
shaped out that will present him in one of his old
characters, but upon a much enlarged theatre.
He will take the stump against the destruction-
ists, and canvass every Southern State, occu
pying his whole time in the labor of arousing
and organizing an opposition to Radicalism and
negro equality. The fear of this has been .the
subject of -much consideration among the de-
strnctionists in Congress.—-Baft Gazette.
A The ritualistic contest in EpffLnd waxes
warmer, and questions of candlesticks and
incense are giying place to questions of doc
trine. An application has just been made
in the Court of Queen’s Dench to oblige the

Rev. J. W. Bennett, vicar of Frome, for

NOON DISPATCHES. v ;
IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.
Resignation of the D'lsmelt Mlniatrjr-
The P«*emi r’a ‘ ounii Denounced »a
L iiconsti tu t tonal.
London, May 4.—The Ministry have re
signed. Disraeli proposed a compromise
until after the election on the reform bilis,
but Lord Stanley and Earl Malmesbury re
fused to servo uader DTsraeli.
The Queen sent for Mr. Gladstone.
Mr. Gladstone said iu the House that it
was unprecedented for a ministry beaten by
seventy-five majority to think of dissolving
Parliament. Tne Premier’s course was un
constitutional. The House was hostile to
the Ministry, and the duty of the Liberals
was clearly to follow up their resolves by
action. They must go on. (Cheers.) They
had no bargains to make.
Jonn Bright said that D’Israeli asked tfie
House to reverse the constitutional usage
that he might keep au office got by arts not
the most worthy.
D israeli asked why the House had not
posted a vote of want of confidence.
The debate or the Irish Church question is
fixed for May 7th.
The new Ministry has not yet been formed.
EVENING DISPATCHES.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Tilts I npeachment— Bingham’* Speech.
Washington, May 5.— House.—The
Speaker i*am*d Messrs. Banks, Thomas,
Griswold, Blair, Woodward, and Beck, a
committee to investigate Washburne’s
charges againct Dmnelly; and Mr. Brook’s
charge that Brooks made Butler disgorge
sixty thonsaud dollars which Butler had
btolnn in New Orleans, was referred to the
same committee.
The question from Beyer whether gold
covered plate aud bpoons was answered by
the Speaker u gatively, and a proposition
that the oommittee extend their investigation
over Butkr’s entire administration at New
Orleaus was rejected.
Mr Cary moved the withdrawal of the
tenth at tide as untenable under the House
proceedings of Saturday. The Speaker de
cided it a privileged motion, and pending g
vote on its rectpiion the House adjourned.
Senate—In the Impeachment Court Bing
ham argued that evidtnec wan not necessary
to conviction; that the counsels’ argument
on this subject was puerile, and not fit for
the ears ot the Senate. He maintained the
oneness of the appointing aud removal
power. Undue weight was given to the de
bates of ’96. He also maintained that mal
administration was impeachable. General
Sherman’s remarks regarding Cabinet offi
cers was not applicable, because when a bill
passed, the malignity and danger of the
President was not then developed. Re de
fended Stanton as a calumniated and slan
dered officer, who had proven faitblul
am mg the laitliless, and as one who in all
the qualities which adorn and eooble human
nature, was unexcelled iu any age or country.
He characterized quo warranto arguments as
mere babble in the ears of the Senate, aa re
gards the constitntionality of the teoure-of-
office act as a closed question. After read
ing of it three times, the Senators who ques
tiomd its constitutionality were themselves
impeachable.
Bingham concludes to-morrow. The Re
construction Committee met but did noth
ing. The debt statement shows that the
debt bearing coin interest ha9 increased $19,-
000,000, and that currency interest has de
creased $21,250,000 The tqtal debt has
decreastd $2,100,000. The debt, less pash
ia the treasury lias decreased $18,500,000.
Senators Fessenden, Henderson and
Gr.raes have each prepared opinions looking
to acquittal.
Acquittal is improbable, but betters on
onviciion are holding off.
Nothing has trun.-pired regarding the rou
tine to morrow alter Bingham close3. He
will close about two o'clock.
This evening’s Express says the feeling
to-day among the Radical-*, as well as Dem
ocrats, is that the chances are decidedly in
l'uvor of the acquittal of the President
Tne Evening ‘Scar says the bears have it
in tiie impeachment stock market to-day.
Bets are three to one for acquittal, apd why
nobody knows.
The majority of the Reconstruction Com
mittee iavor the admission of the Arkansas
delegation.
On completion of impeachment proceed
ings to-day, the President transmitted the
South Carolina and Arkansas constitutions
to the Hou*e. They were referred to the
Reconstruction Committee-
FROM ENGLAND.
Tbe queen Refuses to Accept Disraeli's
Resignation.
London, May 5.—The Queen refused to
accept Disraeli’s resignation : the dissenting
members of the ministry agreed, tinder the
circumstances, to continue .in office. The
Parliament will be dissolved in autumn,
when the new franchise bill comes into oper
ation.
From New York.
New York, May 5.—An engine went
through a tressel work near Jersey City to-day.
The engineer and fireman were drowned.
Three thousand emigrants arrived yesterday.
From Texas.
Galveston, May 5.—Judge Watrous opened
the District Court this morning, and delivered
a charge sustaining the constitutionality of the
civil rights bill He held that freedmen were
citizens, not by virtue of Congressional enact
ment, but by Constitutional law, being bom ou
the soil.
In New Orleans.
Poisoning
New Orleans, May 5.—Eighteen persons
were poisoned by arsenic at a boarding-house
on Sunday. None are dead. They were saved
by an overdose.
Death of Commodore Ridgeway.
Philadelphia, May 6.—Commodore Ridge
way is dead.
Arrest of Citizens fob Discharging
Negroes.—The Macon Messenger of yes
terday says it was reported on the street
on Monday afternoon that Col. Crofton,
commanding that post, bad received orders
to arrest ten or a dozen prominent citizens
for the alleged offense of discharging Radical
negroes, and that they are to be taken to
Atlanta to bo tried by military commission.
The same- paper says :
The commissary and house used for other
military purposes at the corner of Second
and Poplar streets, was fired at 10 o'clock
Saturday night by a negro. The guard on
duty saw him in the very act and firad bis
gun at him. The soldier says he would
have killed him bad the incendiary not
been in a direct line with a private bouse,
which made him fearful that he might miss
and injure some one in the residence. Bat hi
thinks ne scAied him out of several years’
growth.
The Boldier should be immediately ar
rested and tent to Atlanta for trial. True he
didn’t discharge an incendiary negro, but
he discharged his musket at one which is al
most as bad.
It seems necessary, says the London Court
Journal, to inform those whe attend at Court,
of a point of etiquette to which their at
tention has apparently tot been called,
namely, that gloves should not be worn in
pres nee of the sovereign. That is the pre
cise rule, but usually the left glove is worn.
The right hand glove should on no aooonnt
be worn by those who are presented.
—It i9 said that about $50,000 are annual
ly expended in Boston lor music in tne

—The merchants oi Bangor, Maine, are
about to do away with the ayatem ot com
