Tri tlio United States Senate a reso uii >n lms been introduced to amend the Consti tution, eo as to exclude from the right of suffrage all person? bptting on elections. Hu tier for ilkv Cubiiuh It is insisted that Gen. Butler is to be Secre'arv of State when the Cabinet is remodeled. Would if not be in keeping to appoint hint Secretary of the Treasury, as he is known to be well posted in matters pertaining to the current coin of the realm. Oregon iiiid tin- Fifteenth Aiaeiulmritt. Oregon, through her senator, Mr. Will iams, has presented a resoln'ion of her S’ate legislature, rejecting the fifteenth amend ment to the Constitution. It charges that it was forced upon the States by the aid of Fede al bayonets and should be as null ar.d inoperative as a contract entered into by a man under duress. It says moreover, that each State should regulate suffrage for thy- ( self and not the general government. Tlie liutli-r Investigation. The New York Sun says a very interest- ■ ing investigation has been going on at Washington in relation to Gen. Butler’s management of the funds of the National 1 Asylum for Disabled Soldiers and Sailors. Precisely what the Committee have discov- j ored is not yet known ; hut i*t is a suspicions circumstance that G<;n. Butler, though accused of misusing the money in his charge, has succeeded in foiling the effort of the prosecution to bring bes ire the Com mittee his private accounts relating to the I suVject. Accordingly, it is probable that he will be thoroughly whitewashed by the report, and that the public will place very little confidence in it. A Statesman's Views. A grand supper was given a few days since, by the Young Men’s Jackson Associ ation, of Pittsburgh, Penn., which was attended by many prominent Democratic politicians of the State. Among the letters from invite I guests unable to attend, was one from the lion. George 11. Pendleton. j “If ever the industry of a country had cause to complain Jof an administration, it is now. Capital has full power, and con- I trols absolutely its financial policy. By a 1 rapid contraction of the currency it has brought ruin and bankruptcy on thousands of the best men in the land. Every farmer who voted to put it in power voted to reduce the price of his own corn, and wheat, and pork. Every mechanic, to reduce his wages ! and curtail his work. Every merchant, to diminish the value of his stock and to in crease his indebtedness. This was all fore told, but was not believed. It is now man ifest. * * Mr * * Mr Mr * # The government has been drawn away from the moorings in which it was anchor ed by our fathers in the past, and is now drifting toward dangerous rocks. Do we not need the virtues of Jackson to restore honesty and simplicity in admin istration ; economy and integrity in expen ditures ; equality in taxation ; appoint ment of good men to office, and an adherance to the fudamcntal maxim that the reserved rights of the States are as essential to our system as the delegated powers of the Fed* ! eral Government? This duty belongs to the Democratic par- j •y ; and to its performance by its organiza- j tion, its principles, and its traditions that party brings extraordinary capacity. Found ed in tho earliest days of the Republic ; led by great men who have given to it the purity and loftiness of their own characters, in spired by a love of country —it has survived ; the factions which have sprung up around it. Fixed in its principles, it adapts their expression to the changing condition of hu* man society ; constant in its aims and pur poses, it seeks to attain them by means best adapted to exigencies of public opinion and the shifting phases of affairs. About tbe Public Debt. Secretary Boutwell announces that on the Cth of March next he will begin making an attempt to fund the debt of the United States at a reduced rate of interest. As this is the great achievement for which he has been working since he took office, and to accomplish which be has been the steady advocate of maintaining the most oppressive and grinding taxation of the people, his desire to bold his office until h 9 shall have had the chance of reaping tbe fruits of his policy is out natural. His scheme is to exchange the outstanding six per cent, bonds of tne United States for bonds, $500,000,- 000 bearing interest at four per cent, per annum, having thirty years to run ; $500,- 00\000 four and a half per cent., having fifteen years to run ; and $500,000,000 five per cent., having ten years to run. He thinks that such an exchange will be readi ly if not Pftgerlv accepted by tho public creditors, but we fear he is mistaken. Per haps the national banks will avail themselves of his offer through fear of being compelled t) take worse terms as a condition of retain ing their circulation, and by some private capitalists, who prefer a low rate ot interest with a certainty of its continuance, to a higher one with tho liability of having their money returned on their hands at a time when they cannot profitably lend it out again. . It is so plainly for the advantage of the country to have the exchange made, that we wish Mr. Boutwell success, much as we differ from him as to views of finan cial policy in other respects.— N. Y. Sun. Mr. Peyton, ot the Tennessee Legisla ture, from the Committee on Federal Rela tions, reported in favor of the rejection of the resolution favoring the removal of the National Capitol to the Mississippi Valley, and the Senate therefore voted to reject said resolution. Keeping Up the Fire* “The war for the Union,” we see by a resolution adopted in the United States Senate, is not yet over, and to prove it, a committee is to investigate events which transpired far hick into the Johnson ad ministration. The old record* of the De partments are ran* ack to find material to tiie she Nor’hern heart, and in some new way to reconstruct ree instruction. The Gov ernors— Holden, Bullock, Davis, Scott, and others—are to he evoked, even against their own messages, to turn out the contents of the party pigeor.-boles in their State Ex ecutive Departments, to prove what rogues the people of the South are. and the saintly characters of the carpet-baggers and inter lopers who Continue to keep the people of the South by the ears. Many outrages, no doubt.«havew been conimitted at the South ; but for every reaT one", ten have been fabri cated, and of those committed, the Radicals are in part responsible. Senator Wilson declares that there is before that body now “such an official record of* crime a? no Christian or civilized land during the last five years could present.” There may fie such a record—but is it a true or false record ? The Radicals have had almost supreme power at the South through the past five years. They have had the civil offices, the army and navy, the patronage and sympathy of the Federal administration and both Houses of Congress. What has been officially done has equally been done in the worst spirit and the wofist manner. Even when Conservative people have sent Conservative Senators and Representatives to Congress, they have not been received. This scheme is sim-ply a revenge, because, in spite of all the onpressions, outrages, and robberies which they had to endure at the hands of Radical power, the people of the South had repudiated the administra tion. This is the whole secret, and bo so understood by the people. Mr. Thurman, in the debate, held up to view the violence and proscription of Republicans in the Southern States, especialiv towards negroes who were independent enough to vote against them, and showed how gross and flagrant were the frauds in Florida, where eight counties were thrown nut to consummate a Radical fraud ; how in Texas the whole power was concentrated in the hands of a Radical Governor, and the people excluded from all their political rights. lie cited the outrages c minuted by the Radicals in South Carolina on Con servative meetings, and alluded to the fact how a colored man was pursued and his life threatened, right under the eyes of Congress, for voting the Democratic ticket. These and worse outrages pass in silence hy .the Radical majority. Even the mur ders and cruelties of Kirk and his ruffians under Holden excited not the least atten tion, though without parallel in our history. We deprecate all outrages, and especially that now proposed to fabricate an excite ment in the interests of a party and against the peace of the country. — New York Ex press, Jan. 20. The Senatorial Question in the Senate. Georgia is ptill but half way into the Senate ; Senator Miller yet standing upon the threshhold. The indications are favor able, however, for his admission. When the bill repealing the test oath had passed Congress, it was conceded by many leading Republicans that it removed all objections to Mr. Miller. I heard no one interpret the bill otherwise. But now comes forward the Washington correspondent of the New York Times, who is never happy unless contradicting someone and says the bill only applies to persons elected after its passage. He says, however, that the spirit of the bill and its title clearly include Mr. Miller's case ; and he thinks that in any event the Senate will raise technicalities. The Republican papers generally urge Mr. Miller’s admission, not alone upon the ground of justice, but because they consider him “thoroughly reconstructed.” * You will doubtless he pleasantly disap pointed to learn that Senator Stewart con cedes Blodgett to be a hopeless case, lie is at least reported to have said that Blodgett would not be seated. This is almost too good news to he true. lie may, however, be appointed hy Bullock to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of Mr. Miller’s term on the 4th of March ; but the Legisla ture will meet in time to elect a Senator to take his seat when Congress re-assembles in December. If Blodgett thus gets two months in the Senate, it will he a consola tion to know that it was simply and solely through Bollock’s agency, without the fare* of an election by the pretended representa tives of the people of the State. Blodgett’s personal character is a great bar to his admission to the Senate, even among the Radicals, who are no', supposed to be very particular in that respect. Even if his claims were far better than they are, he would find few to advocate them. The odium which clings to Bullock, Blodgett and others, of the “Georgia lobby” of last session, is much greater than may have been supposed ; nor does it come from the Democrats in Congress alone. Ti»e Test Oath. Grant is reported to have stated on Sat urday that he would sign the bill to repeal the test oath. The Washington Patriot states that every effort has been made by the extreme wing of the Radicals to induce him not to sign the bill. Members individ ually and delegations have visited the White llsuse for that purpose, and Grant, who is a mere nose of wax in the hands of reckless politicians, would consent to obey their dictation, if he was not adv sed from other quarters in the same party that such a course might be ruinous to his interests. Personally be has no feeling on the subject, and cares nothing about the principle'in volved or the policy of coneiliat od. lie looks solely to its influence upon himself, or those who direct his councils. Consequently, if he should sign the law, his signature would express no sentiment, while if he should veto it, the signification would be that he had simply obeyed the orders of the cabal which controls him. That is the sort of President with which this great nation is afflicted. Desperate demagogues on the one hand, and military subservients on the other, shape the action of an Executive who presides over the destinies of forty millions of people, and who only cares for his own selfish interests and those of his immediate surroundings. llad he felt the least concern for the people of the South who are relieved by the bill in question, he would have returned it promptly with his signature. But Butler and his fellow-con spirators said “no,” and he refused to per form that plain duty, while he listened to suggestions of hostility to any form of conciliation. ~ "■ - The West ami the Income Tax. The West is opposed to the repeal of the income tax. The Wisconsin Assembly—73 to 9—hasju?t voted for the continuance of the tax, and this will explain the vote of Frank Blair, of Missouri, against the repeal ing bill in the United States Senate, Synopsis of Telegraphic News. DOMESTIC. Washington, Feb. 10.— The lower House of the Kansas Legislature passed a bill allowing criminals to testify in their own behalf, and allowing husband and wife to testify in each other’s behalf in criminal ! prosecutions. Frankfort, Kt., Jan. Id.—T*he Com missioners, appointed by Governor Bullock to visit the Legislature of Kentucky in be haif of the Southern railway, arrived here to-day. The pending bill was defend yesterday in the Senate of this State amid mueh excitement. The delegation has been very cordially received by the Oovernor, members of the Legislature, and the citizens generally. They are to attend a reception this even ng at the Executive Mansion upun special in vitation of the Governor. Washington. Feb. 13 Senate. — Mr. Sherman presented memorials asking au thority for the Cincinnati and Southern Railroad to pass through Kentuokv. Mr. Sherman said be heartily concurred in the prayers of these petitioners, and thought if there was any occasion when the legislation and authority of the Federal Government might be properly exercised in the matter of railroads, it was when one State obstin ately placed itself in the way and refused permission to the Northern and Southern people to place themselves in connection by a railroad across its territory. The resolution seatirg Mdleron the mod ified oath was taken up and debated aliday. The joint resolution allowing Miller to take the modified oath goes to the If -use for concurrence and then to the President. Navs on the bill modifying Miller’s oath : Abbott, Ames, Bmwnlow, Buckingham, Chandler, Oragin, Edmonds, Gilbert, How ell, Morrill, Stearns, Stewart, Sumner and Warner. Senators Bayard, Carpenter, Sherman and Willey in the affirmative, paired with Conkling, Hamilton id' Texas, and Cameron and Pool in th» negative. FOREIGN. Lond in, Feb. 10. — A dispatch from Beriii) says the contribution •*f two hun dred millions of francs exacted from Paris, have apportioned one hundred and fifty mi'lions to North Germany and fifty mil lions to South Germany. Brest. Feb. 11.—The veritable cattle plague has appeared among immense herds of cattle going to Paris. It is impossible to bury the dead cattle, and the carcasses are loaded on war vessels and taken to aca and sunk. London, Feb. 12.—Napoleon has issued a proclamation to the electors of France in which he says substantially, that during hostilities he abstained from any word which might have caused party dissensions, and did not protest against any violation of his rights when the Empire, which had been three times acclaimed, was over thrown and abandoned. He had hoped for a successful defense ; but now, when the struggle is suspended, and all reasonable chances of victory gone, it is time to call to account the usurpers for bloodshed and ruin and squandered resources, lie says a solid peace is only reasonable when the people are consulted respecting the govern ment most capable of repairing the disas ters to the country. For himself, he does not claim the confirmed right, but till the people are regularly assembled to express their will, there is only one government in which resides the national sovereignty capable to heal the wounds, to bring hope to firesides, to re-open the profaned churches for prayers, and to restore indus try, concord and peace. Berlin, Feb. 13.—The Prussian Cross Gazette judges from the results of the French elections that the resumption of the war is improbable, and scarcely doubts that the armistice will be prolonged. Florence, Feb. 13.—The Italian Parlia ment has adopted a resolution declaring the libraries and galleries of the Vatican to be public property. This measure pass ed in spite of strong ministerial opposition. Improvnncut. Gradually, hut with a healthy progress, is popular sentiment preparing for a vigor ous assertion of the public libert es. The party of despotism, diminished in numeri cal strength, is yet more impaired in its moral tone. In proportion as Radicalism, under the stress of constantly growing difficulties, lowers its the party of the Constitution and popular rights be come bold and self-asserting. The result of the Missouri election, and the elevation of Frank B air to the Senate ’ of the United States, bv a ni jority so com manding, are most hopelul signs of the times. In vindicating the fundamental principles ot free popular government, Gen eral Blair has shown himself to he a good and a brave man. While a man, such as he seems to be, can stand for the cause of lib erty, right where its worst assailants are using power, there must still he some hope that right and justice may once again pre<* vail. When we add to indication!? like this, other strong demonstrations of revived hope and renewed vigor and purpose, we may well hope that liberty will really be restor ed once more to her ancient influence in the United States. We may even hope to see a free people once more occupying the op pressed States of the South. There has rarely been such a political change as that which has occurred recently in the United States. The recent elections have shown it. If neither eowaidice nor folly arrest the result, we shall yet have a restoration, and upon a secure basis, of free government.— Carolina Weekly Star. Centralization in Another Phase. Not satisfied, says a Washington special, with putting the whole system of state and municipal elections under general suDer vision and control, Mr. Edward-, of Ver mont, proposes for the United States to take charge of the immigrants who land in the United States, to determine their destination and mode of travel, and from whom they are to buy their lands. The machinery is a bureau at Washington City, to be held in the War Department, and known as the United States Immigration Bureau, with a branch at New York. The officers of the bureau are to make contracts with railroad companies, furnish information and facili ties immigrants, to act as agents for parties who desire to settle upon public or private lands in large tracts. The bill gives the government nearly complete control over immigrants, and large opportunities to agents for jobs and money making, hut it solemnly declares everything shall he done in the most virtuous manner.— Mahcmina Vindicator. It isclaimed, says the DotmitFree Press that Grant did not invite Greeley to the White House, with a view to a pence alli ance between him and Senator Fenton. He wanted a man to swear over the Georgia election, and ho knew that Greeley wue adequate to the occasion. Legislative Per Diem. The Constitution of the State of New York limits the per diem of members of the General Assembly to three dollars A movement has been made by a member ot the II use to amend the Oonstrution. so as to give Legislators a salary of one thous and dollars each. The Now York Commer cial Advertiser remarks that even upon the existing per diem, the anxiety to occupy one of the ItX) seats in the General Assembly, is so intense that men will go down into their pockets and into the gutters to secure a re-election. But :he bestforensic talent and the high est social standing in the State are usually represented in the New York Legislature. New York State pavs her 160 Legislators an aggregate per diem of §4BO. Georgia pays her 219 Logislat 'rs at §9,0 ) per day an aggregate of $1 971 The Legislators of New York are her active and incellipent minds at the bar, in the marts of commerce —at her seats of learning and the foremost representatives of agriculture and manufac tures. In the last Legislature of Georgia about forty of her Legislators were tie Id hands, whose services would have been dear at twelve dollars a month, with a moiety of other chaps whose services would have been dear at nothing at all. Every hundred days’ servi *,e of the Georgia e cost §197,100 and of the New York Legislatrue §48,000. But it is worthy of remark that the mem ber who is, as we think, rightly dissatisfied with the inadequate per diem in New York, d<es not propose to amend by increasing the per diem. He would establish a salary, and thus avoid the demoralizing result of holding out a temptation to extend legisla tive sessions. The system established by the Radicals of Georgia of nine dollars a day and unlimited session, has now, or ought to have, some check in that portion of our Constitution which limits all sessions, after the second, to forty days, unless prolonged by a vote of two-thirds of each branch. This gives a patriotic minor ity a veto power upon outrageous spoliation. But we look to the Democracy to set a wholesome limitation upon the per diem, as well as tL>e length of the session and the excess of legislation. Let them fix, say, five dollars a day, and that in a session of forty days would make the gross per diem $43,800. — Telegraph and Mesengcr. Cotton. Liverpool. —“Cotton dull, with down tendency.” wiEir York.— “ Cotton dull and lower.” are the gloomy reports telegraphed to us yesterday. They come simultaneously with assurances that the war in Europe will not be renewed at the expiration of the armistice, and that we may now look for peace and the full resumption of trade. They come, also, under dates advising us of a rise in gold at New York, and when we have mail accounts predicting a further de cline in tne currency—a turn that ought to produce a corresponding (though small) advance in cotton. The opinion of many financiers is that gold will continue to ad vance, unless checked by Government ac tion, until the near approach of the time tor the next heavy payment of coin interest, which occurs in May. What can cause such a depression in the cotton market under these conditions? Obviously the continued heavy receipts, and the control of the market which speculators have acquired. Planters are now about to “pitch” for their crops, and it behooves them to decide at this time whether they will next winter continue to crowd an over supplied market, or make a small crop and get a better price for it. As to the wresting of the control of the market from Northern speculators, that is more difficult matter, but we believe that direct trade with Europe and the demand of gold or a specie-paying currency for cotton will effectually flank even the speculators and their “corners.” Military Law vs. Civil Law. The case of Wetmore against Rors was decided in the Superior Court at Savannah, on the 27th nit. Capt. 11. S. Wetmore was elected Ordinary of Chatham county, but Gen. Terry forcibly ejected him from his office and appointed Amherst W. Stone as Ordinary. This occurred ovoi- a year ago. Capt> Wetmore appealed to the courts for redress, and on the 27th ult. Judge Schley, of the Superior Court, rendered an elabor ate decision affirming the right .of Capt. Wetmore to occupy the position of Ordinary of Chatham county, and in that decision quoted at length from the Reconstruction acts, and proved conc'u-ively that the ac s ‘of Gen. Alfred Terry, in placing Stone into the position of Ordinary was unwarrantable, illegal and uniust. Judge Schley showed most conclusively that civil law was in all cases paramount, and that military law in the State of Georgia was unauthorized, so long as the people of the State upheld and respected the laws. Thus has right tri umphed over might. “Ways that arc Dark.” A Washington special says: “The out rage committee will make a partial report ere long, for electioneering purposes. A senator went up the other day, on business, into one of the committee rooms ; he found there a negro giving his testimony on North Carolina, and two men engaged in taking it down. O her persons were in the room, and he inquired what was the object, and was told the negro’s testimony was taken for the purpose of being used before the select committee on outrage. The senator states that there was not a single member of the committee present. It is understood that witnesses are sifted and drilled before hand, to see if they can stand fire and tell a straight story before going to the committee. Senators Pool and Abbot are supposed to be at the bottom of this business, and it looks as if the object was to make out a case for keeping Abbot in the Senate six years more to represent North Carolina. W r hitcly v». Tift. Whitely has received his certificate from Governor Bullock. The Committee on Elections have taken no action on the papers and resolutions before them in reference to Mr. Tift’s claims to the seat. This delay was intended to give Whitely time to got the certificate, that he might be sworn in. It is certainly an anomaly in the legislative history «f this country, that a man should hold a certificate to a seat in both the Sen ate and House, and one day endeavor to get into the Senate and the next to get into the House. But one need hardly be surprised at uriything now-a-days in which Radical ism is concerned. It is expected Whitely’s credentials will be presented to morrow, and that he will ho sworn in. General Young intends to make a fight on the case, however. Schenok has had the carbuncle on his head sand-papered down so it isn't much largor than a wash-bowl. He says ho is going to making those English people be» lieve that concern is lull of brains. There is no doubt that it contains a bettor quality of brains than his head will average.

It appears from the census of 1870 that in 503 counties in Kentuekv, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee. Virginia and West Virginia—designated as old slave breeding States—the colored population is 1,270,474, or near 11,000 more than in 1860 The gains io percentage are only in North Carolina and Tennessee. In Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas designated old slave-consuming States —in 417 counties, the colored populatiou in 1870 was 1,775.402, or 91,572 more than in 1860. There were losses in Louisiana, South Caro lina and Texas. A New Party. A pamphlet bas been circulated in Washington, setting forth the ohjects and purposes of the National Labor party. Delegates fmm all the States are to meet at Columbus, Ohio, on the third Wednesday of October next for the purpose of nomina ting candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States It is the purpose of this party to take the start in the presidential canvass.
