to make money rarely offered. Any per

sold limited rights of this Patent for thous

ggFThc Radical vecoi struct ion Com

tion, proposing to so amend the Constitu
tion. that the Stairs formerly in rebellion
shall have on’.y their white population re
presented in t ‘ongress.
Fearing that they night ultimately fail
in their negro tuff rage bill, they have made
this shift as an alternative. Well, let them
have it so. They could not please us bet
ter. We don’t want Africa represented in
Congress. We knw it will have us in a
hopeless minority, but we were s before.
Better a thousand times, give us white re-
Cresentation alone in Congress, than negro
suffrage in the States. Let the Radical
negro worshipers do what they will at
Washington, only, deliver us (t’uo States)

Important Washington Items-
New York, .Jan. ’24. —A VY ashing
ton special to the Express says; The
Committee on reconstruction have
agreed to report in favor of a constitui
tional amendment, allowing Congress
to re ulate the electing franchise with
in the Stales.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The House
of Represc-datives to day resumed the
consideration of the constitutional
amendment regarding the basis of rep.
resentation. Mr. Hording, of ivy.
aid Mr. Wright, of New Jersey, spoke,
During the debate on the subject,
these gentlemen spoke in favor of the
admission of Southern .Representatives.
They could see no necessity for a
constitutional amendment, which, they
said, was designed as a piece of party
management by the Republicans to
secure the suffrage of the negroes.
The House will take a vote on the ques
tion to-day.
The Senate considered a joint reso
lution for the appointment of Pros
visional Govenors for the Southern
States Mr. Howof V isconsin, a!so<
made a speech iu advocacy of the
measure.
Washington, Jan. 28.--The Presi
dent, to-day sa : d to certain distin
guished Senators that the agitation of
the negro franchise question in the
District of Co'umbia, at this time, was
merely the entering wedge to the ag
itation of the question throughout the
States, and was ill-timed, uncalled lor
and calculated to do great harm.
He believed that it would engender
enmity, contention and strife between
the two races, and would lead to a war
between them which would result in
great injustice to both and certain de
struction to the negto population.
Precedence, he thought, should
be given to more important and ur
gent matters, legislation upon which
was essential for the restoration of the
Union, the peace us the country and
! prosperity of the peop e.
The foregoing may be implicitly re
lied upon as true.
Washington, Jan. 2B—The Senate
to-day discussed the Dili to provide for
the protection of all persons without
distinction of color or race, in their
civil rights.
Mr. Trumbull offered to amend by
inserting that all jrsons of Africa de
cent, born in the United States, are
eitizeus thereof, and ma ie a speech in
support of the bill.
Mr. Saulsbury replied, contending
that the liberties of the white man were
entitled to some consideration, and
that it was tune lo cease shedding tears
for the negroes.
A resolution jvas offered and referr
ed to the Committee on Naval Affairs,
tendering the thanks of Congress to
Reai-Admiral Farragut and his officers
for their gallant conduct in Mobile
Ray in Augusta, 1564.
In the Houses Mr. Raymond of New
York, refuted the positions of those
who maintained that the Southern
States were out of the Union. This he
denied, and maintained that Congress
has no more pdwer to do anything
against them than against the other
States. The Southern States having
reorganized, the only question was as
to the admission ot their representa
tives iu Congress. Congress should
act separately on the cases from each
district and admit those who could
take the oath.
We shall have to live with the
South, and good policy as well as pa
triotism shonld induce them to recon
ciliation.
He said the House owed it to their
dignity to repudiate the Select Com
mittee ou iieconstruetio n All the pa
per constitutions would not save the>
country unless theie was sufficient pa<
triotism among the people.
\\ ashinjrton, Jan. 30.—Thereport

Washington, Jau. 30. — The Senate
O f t
was engaged to-daj in d-seusamg the
bill to protect all persons in their
rights.
In the House, Mr. Stevens, from
the reconstruction Committee, report*
ed back the constitutional amendment
referred to them yesterday; the Coin?-
mittee refusing to amend by striking
ouc the direct taxatioif clause.
Mr. Stevens made a speech alluding
to the President in most caustic terms,
lie-said he had vetoed the privilege of
the House bv making a command
whilst the House was engaged in the
considerat ion of an important question.
Such an aet, centuries ago, would have
cost the British King his head, but we
are tolerant of usurpation and abuse
of power.
At the conclusion, of his remarks,
the vote was taken on the Constiiu*
tioiial Aniendu ent, which was pased.
Washington, Jan. 30. —Sixty-nine
members of the House of Ilepressnta
tives have made preparations for the
dolivery of speeches on the subject of
reconstruction. 1 heir names have all
been entered for that purpose, and they
will speak in rotation.

A Qneor Lelier- J. Wilke* Booth Re
vived.
The Norfolk Post of Saturday con
tain? the following singular letter:
Morkiikad City, Jan. 5, ISCG
Editor Norfolk Fast:
Sir: L have just arrived in this place
from .where I saw and talked with
: John Wilkes Booth, the supposed as
sassin of your late President That he
! would be alive after what Occurred at
your capitol may seem strange, but it
is true nevertheless.
1 saw him and B Harris, who left
with him, not four week a ago, and
learned from him all tl e hardships that
he underwent in leaving this country,
lie says that no one who has the least
recant for truth will say that he was in
Ford’s Theatre on the night of the
1 14th of April last, and wonders why
no one present on that occasion did
not pretend to recognize the man that
shot Lincoln until they were told that
; it was him, by Lory Keen, his bitter
i enemv. He did not however, to me
deny “or admit t hat he had done the
deed; but stated that no one could
t.uthfully say, of their own knowledge,
* that it was him.
He declares that Mrs. Surratt was
innocent, and wonders how the man
that was killed in the barn looked. He
learned from the papers that lie had a
heavy beard, and had sheared or cut
it in such an awkward manner that bis
Booth's most intimate friends would
, not recognize him as Booth, lie thinks
not. He be ieved, innocent or guilty,
that if found he wou and have been suc
vificeil to their fury, and concluded (o
leave, which lie did. And as there
can now be no in telling, I will
state what he told uic —omitting names
He crossed the river at Georgetown ;
stopped the next day near Fairfax
Courthouse ; the next night lie was ta
ken near Middleburg, &c., and from
there near Gum Springs, where he re
mained two days; and after more than
three weeks traveling—mostly by
■ night, and suffering severely—-he
reached Florida, where he was detain
ed for son e time, until Harris, who
I was not mentioned in the affair, and
who could appear publicly, procured
a boat, which they ventured to .sea in,
and made land safe. Booth was im.-
mediately taken sick, anil has been
most of the time since.”
In October he was much better, so
much so that he took some exercise in
the open air, but relapsed, and was
eomfined to his room intil about four
weeks ag°. His constitution, in my
judgment, is ruined, and 1 dont believe
lie will live long. He was preparing
for a change of climate, and if no re*
lapse lias taken place, is probably now
; in another country, where lie will meet,
with'more of his own people or people
from the same country.
Mr. Editor, l write such poor Eng
lish that 1 fear you will not be able to
make it out; but it is the truth, the
whole truth and if yon wish, you may
publ'sh it. L shall not be in the coum
try to read it. J. F.

Mr. G- B. Lamar’s defence against
the charge of cotton theft, written by
himself,Explains tbe alleged theft as
follows:
let me call your attention to the
condition of affairs in Southern Geor
gia, asd : s. dosed by the evidence. There
were thousands and tens of thousands
of bales of cotton stored all over the
country, in the towns along the line ot
the railroad and on the plantations.
This cotton belonged to tbe different
States, and some to the Importing and
Exporting Company of Georgia. Jhe
Treasury Department was taking pos
session ofcertain classes ot this Cotton,
and among others portions of that be
longing to the Importing and Export
ing 3 Company. They did not pretend
to take the cotton of individuals, with
small exceptions, nor all ot that belong,
ing to the Importing and Exporting
Company, as the orders so often re fern
ed to disclose Its agents were all
over the country seeking Jor cotton to
seize. Their reward was to be a por
tion of what they got —sometimes as
much as one-fourth or one-third. Un
der these circumstances/ is it strange
that in some instances the-e agents
took cotton they hud no right to take?
cotton of individuals o ci tiling under
the class of company cotton whic! they
were prohibited from taking? Is it
strange, eithei, that their invanab'e
reply should he to the party seeking,
redress, “You must go to Washington
with your cla m? 0 ! course they put
every obstacle in the way of parties
j seeking to obtain their rightful cotton,
j or at least afforded them no facilities
for doing so. My individual cotton
had been turned over to me by the
Government, the permits and orders
■read prove this.. But still these agents
hud taken possessi- nos some cf.it, and
were seeking tor it through the coun
try. So with the cotton oi‘ the Import
ing and Exporting Company; they had
seized lots which they, had no rignt to
take under their order, and were seek,
ing for and hunting up others.
Under these circumstances my neph
ew and myself acted in endeavoring to
secure my own cotton and that of the
company, which was being illegally
seized. It was on the account of the
course pursued by these agents that he
was compelled to conceal as much as
possible his intentions and his actions.
The whole correspondence between us
1 establishes these facts.
A Touching Ippcal.
A number of freed men in Selma,
Ala., have published an appeal to their
former masters, concluding >n -the fol
lowing, earnest but respectful terms :
Dear Friends and Former Masters:
\\ e know theie is a large number of
widows and crpplcd men, who arc weli
educated, and have no employment by
which to make a living TtV'se person,-
we would be pleased to see taking an
interest in teaching our children, and
training them up in the way limy
should go. We arc greatly in want of
schools, and to persons who will estab
lish them we will guarantee our undi
vided support. Our own people are
the proper ones to teach us, and wc
sincerely wish them to do so-. And
why should they refuse ? They raised
and taught us all that we know, as car
penters, blacksmith, stone and brick
masons, painters, etc., including work
ing on the farm, driving, etc , and were
not ashamed or backward in perfbr
ming this servico. And why shouM
it be considered a disgrace to make a
living Jtt this business in the South?
\\ r c make our living out of the people
here, and, thcrcLre, we think it our
duty to spend our money with those
who sustained and took care of us.
The United States Government and
your State Convention gave us our
freedom, and we prefer you to any o b
er to have the money derived from our
daily lal-cr .for teaching our children.
Ls you all stand back, strangers will
come in and take the money from un -
der your hands and carry it away to
build up the r own country. They are
not ashamed tu make money irorn any
class of men.

Cornirdire of Ihc Radicals.
A Washington .correspondent, speak
ing of interviews between tne Uresis
d*nl and the Radicals, says;
llecfhtly, certain prmrncnt un nos
Massachusetts, in a conversation with
him had di.-clused a tear that our par
ty ascendency might be endangered if.
the South should conic in, and should
act as it always use to act as . a unit.
Yet, how rimy members were there to
be let in from the rebel 8 at.es? Only
58. But tiio IF use has now 200. it
argued a large amount of distrust of
the North and a arge estimate of the
power of tltsse 58, to suppo-c that they
could :uint he Government or obtain
tne ascendency in Congress.
The circumstance shows not only the
motives of the Radicals in keeping the
feouth out of Congress---her exclusion
until they ean secure suffrage to the
negro, and thus get Black Republican
members from the Southern States to
hold up their sinking fortunes —but it
likewise proves the fear the}’ have of
meeting honest Southern men in de
bate. Perhaps they are wise in this,
as the South has never needtd a near
er approach to equality than that set
forth in the figures above to carry her
point. Truth prowess make up for her
lack of members.

Divorce- bf Wh#lM*lv*
We have noticed in some of our ex
changes lately advertisements oi “Di
vorces legally procured without trial,
U‘,rivatc consultations cn divorces,”
Ac Western papers give some exlpu
nation of these notices.
The Fort Wayne Indiana Gazette re
marks that tlie annulling of marriages
has become an immense business iu
that State, and asserts that “associa
-1 tions have been formed in the larger
cities, with agencies throughout the
Western States, especially in Indiana,
to procure divorces for all imaginable ;
persons, and for all imaginable causes ;
nd for no cause whatever.” , |
The Bt. Louis Dispatch thus de>
scribes the method of procedure: “It
is done in this wie. A -man in New
York gets tired of his wife, and
wishes a divorce, calls on the agency in
that city and arranges simply tlie fee •
he is to pav. All- else is left to the
agency in that city. The case is sent
to an Indiana lawyer, commences pro
ceeding', alleging in the complaint a .
half a dozen sufficient causes, not one
of which is true; the case referred to |
another of the same class of lawyers,
who reports with >ut. hearing a word.ot
evidence, in favor of’ the divorce; the
court see it all right on the r< cord,
and unsuspectingly confirms the pro*
ceedings and decrees the divorce - A
copy of the record is_ forwarded to the
New York agency, and the injured,
husband, who has been living at hon e ,
with'his unsuspicious wife, coolly in
forms her he lias procured-a divorce,
and desires her to find another home
