Grant F purchased and paid for his dweUing-house I m Washington last month, for which he gave $30,000. The statement that it was given him is untrue. Gov. Sharkey, of Mississippi, has just arrived here. He reports favorably re? specting the condition of affairs through? out tho South. Unless the test oath is repealed, not more than four of the South? ern representatives can be admitted to Congress. Two English detectives have arrived here for the purpose of procuring infor? mation of Femar, movements. . The adjournment of the Legislature of j Louisiana is said to have been hastened by the uncertainty which prevailed upon tho . whole subject of restoration. Newlv "Ir^^aiWSIrritnr" understood, would ftpfinitA with Juiown. Oso great Bubjects of comment here ?rei j since Uley were delivered. It is conceded that Ur. Raymond completely demolished Bvery argument ever advanced by Mr. Stevens. But on the other hand, the friends of* the latter gentleman, and the radicals generally, do not deny or seek to evade tho consequences that would arise (rom the adoption by the Government of ] tho theory of Mr. Stevens. They boldly avow their willingness to meet those con? sequences; they are willing, they say, to admit the right of secession; they ?re wil? ling to admit that wo cannot try or convict Jefferson Davis for treason, because he was the head of an acknowledged belligerent power; they are willing to admit the doc? trine of State sovereignty; they are willing to admit that the Confederacy was an in? dependent power, a separate nation, having the right to contract debts, and that we, their conquerors and successors, must as? sume and pay all those debts. All these admissions they are willing to make for this reason: They wish, as the conquerors, to have unlimited control over tho South? ern States. They arc aware of tho vast wealth, of thc boundless resources, of those States: this wealth and those resources they wish to control. Much as they hate Jeffer? son Davis, they hato the whole Southern people more. They would gladly let him go free if they could enjoy the pleasure of punishing and grinding the Southern peo? ple for twentjuor thirty yearn. They would fladly assumemnd pay thw?oufkern debt^ ccaiiso it would be only a "drop in a bucket compared with the boundless riches that they could draw from tho South during a period of twenty or thirty years. The public have cause to look to the proceed? ings of Congress, when it re-asscmbles, with great interest. It is impossible to j say now whether the programme of Mr. Stevens will be carried out of not. That it will be ably opposed by several Republi? cans, is certain. But the radical majority in both Houses ls large, and their determi? nation is bitter and unrelenting. The Post Office Department to-day awarded contracts for services on forty routes in Virginia and West Virginia. These routes, for which offers herve been made since the regular biddings, two months ago, will cover nearly the whole of j these States, not then.awarded with imme? diate postal facilities. Mail service in North Carolina is in greatly increased de? mand, and a number of offices are being made. To-day, upwards of thirty routes wore let. All these services will go into operation on New Year's day. Contracts for services in South Carolina, Georgia and other States are also being fully disposed of, in the appointment office, with a corresponding re-opening of post offices in every Southern and South-west? ern State. The number of such distribu? tion may be set down at 200 per week. Yesterday, Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Texas and Tennessee shared largely. History of Amendments to the Con? stitution. The amendment to th9 Constitution "of the United States, which the Secretary of State has just announced to the Governor of Alabama as having boen, finally ratified, the vote of that State completing the Con? stitutional number, forms Article XIII, of amendments. There has been no general proclamation or notice of that fact. The Secretary's notice is only incidental and complimen? tary to Alabama. We have looked for the history of the adoption of former amend? ments for tho form of makii^. public an? nouncement of the result. There appears to be no rule on the subject, a?d tho prac? tice has not been uniform. There havo been, previot throo suecoeeful efforte to a 8titution. There have been j tempts, but no others got greas. There have been twelv adopted; but of these ten together by tho first I supplements to the _. submitted in comphan? the preamble, with I conventions of a nun theiix adonti That ramification was promrdgrated by a simple notice from the Secretary of State. There has been so amendment rdnce, until the present time, ft period cf sixty one yetare, without any alteration in the toxt"Of"ffife instrument, in all the old inter? pretations of which civil war and political passions are making such sad havoc now.
