One Impediment to Reconstruction.
A Richmond correspondent' of the
New York. Tribune states that even
'Gen. Schofield has to encounter some
difficulties in his administration-dif?
ficulties that interpose a serions bar?
rier to reconstruction on the Con?
gressional basis. These difficulties
have been apparent from the begin?
ning, and if they continue t o exist,
it is stated will throw Virginia into
the bunda of persons notoriously in?
competent to manage public affairs.
'One of the.most sortons impedi?
ments to reconstruction in that State
is the "iron-clad" oath, which, but
few, except aliens and the colored
men? can take. The Commanding
General feels the baneful effect of
this restriction, and, it is stated, to
such an extent, os to forco him to re?
tain in office men disqualified, and
whom Ire would remove but for
the lack of competent parties capable
of toking^ the oath, to replace them.
Such is the ease, particularly in Rich?
mond, and it is conceded that the
State, under the iron-clad restriction,
must be governed either by the
blacks or Northern white men.
As in Virginia, so will it bo, we ap?
prehend, in all the other Southern
States. Either tho oath of 1862 will
have to be- modified, or all State of?
ficials must -be chosen from those
who know nothing of our former
local laws, or from those who, from
ignorance and former habits and po?
sition, are utterly incompetent to as?
sume any official duty. Congress,
whether intentionally or not, has
thrown a very serious obstacle to car?
rying out their own plan of recon?
struction all over the South.
What-the Leaders Say.'
Jenkins is abroad, and this time in
the form of a correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser. Ho has held con?
versation with some of the promi?
nent leaders 01 ibo Republican party.
According to this chronicler, Senator
Sumner, in speaking of Gen. Grant
as Secretary of. War, said, "there
could bo no military obligation on a
?.General to assume a civil office.
Grant might have refused, and thrill?
ed tho country, to tho confusion of
tho President and tho rebels." In
regard to Gen. Grant aiming for the
Presidenay, Mr. Sumner said, "he
did not knoTv. Things looked that
?way. His friend, Mr. Washburne,
who has just returned from Europe,
speuks of him as a candidate." But
Mr. S. had been iusisting on irrever?
sible guarantees. Our next President
must be in himself un "irreversible
guarantee." Grant was uncertain.
In regard to Mr. Johnson, Sumner
said: "With a person of ordinary
sense, and with a heart, reconstruc?
tion would bo easy. The President
is perverse. His talent, such as it
is, comes from pugnacity. The won?
der is that Congress did not act ac?
cordingly long ago. Congress bas
hesitated in its duty towards tho
President, as it has in everything
else. I have never doubted that the
President would bo impeached."
Senator Wilson said: "Tho great
mass of the Republican party believe
that tho President will bo impeach?
ed, and that ho deserves impeach?
ment." lu regard to Grant, Wilson
stated his opinion that ho had taken
the office of Secretary of War for the
sole purpose of trying todo what good
beean to the country. About tho Pre?
sident, ho said ho "would go by fits
and starts in carrying out any policy.
In my idea, he is a foolish mau, go?
verned by gusts of passion and tem?
per; and die is a disappointed man,
because ho really believed he was
going to succeed.. This has made
him vindictive."
Gen. Butler said Johnson lacks
courage and capacity, and that im?
peachment is sure to come.

FORNEY'S CnnoNierjE.-Tho New
York Tribune pays its respects to
Forney and his Chronicle:
"We aro informed that among the
.documents' sent out by tho Repub?
lican Committee of Congress to en?
lighten the South aro many gorge?
ously illuminated posters of Forney's
Washington Chronicle. Wo dare say
it would do tho Southerners some
good to road tho Chronicle, though it
may not help them much to read tho
posters; but wo suggest that this is
not exactly tho sort of documents
which wo contribute our money to
circulate. Col. Forney, lind better
pay for bis advertising out of his own
pocket."
Beginning of thc lie-action.
The entire Domocratio tioket has
been elected in California by u majori?
ty of D.OOO^otes; In 1865, the iRopab
liean candidato had a majority of
6,000, ?nd in 18G_ tho majority for
Lincoln was 18,000. Thora were*
three parties at tho elections which
are now decided-the Republican,
the Democratic, the Independent
Union. But tho issue has been fairly
made betwoen conservatism and re?
volution; between the advocates of
the constitution .aud the advocates,
of anarchial confusion; and the result
is that radicalism in California has
received a staggering blow.
Oddly enough, of the two princi?
pal candidate? for Governor, Haight,
now a Democrat, was originally a
Republican; and Gorham, now a
Republican, was originally a Demo?
crat. The radicals were .certain that
they would oarry California, and
their dismay will be in proportion to
their former confidence.
California was not represente*! in
the session of the Fortieth Congress
in July; but at the session in De?
cember, her whole strength will now
be thrown on the Democratic side.
? Th? New York Tribune does not
attempt to conceal its chagrin; and
on Friday, when the whole truth was
not known, it said editorially:
"It is Tory poor satisfaction lo be
told in despatches . from California
that the Republicans might have
elected, their Governor. A great
many good things 'might have
been.' There is eoarcely a doubt
that Haight is elected Governor, and
that Phelps is defeated for Congress
in the San Francisco District. More
than this, tho disaffection in our
ranks imperils the Legislature, and
threatens a Democrat in the place of
United States Senator Conness. Tho
defeat in itself is not of vital impor?
tance; but tho manner in which it
was brought about, and the elation
it will produce in the ranks of the
enemy, are not tho most pleasant
matters for reflection. Large Domo?
cratio gains in the popular voto are
reported, but they are probably of
the negative sort, the result of tho
non-voting on the part of disaffected
Republicans."
? ?
ANOTHER CONVULSION.-The New
York Times says:
"It is a pity that our English
cousins are so exercised in our be?
half, as to feel it necessary to depre?
cate a renewal of the bloody scenes
of the rebellion. But so it is, or
appears to be. A writer in the iron
don Morning Post says: 'While it can
scarcely be believed that another war
is on tue point of breaking out in
the United States, the observer of
events is strongly impressed with the
fact that the same symptoms of dis?
content, anger and hatred which
foretold tho convulsion of 1861 are
presenting themselves in 1867;' and
tho editorial article on American
affairs in the same journal speaks of
the possibility of 'a simultaneous
change for tho worse in the Generals
who rule' nt the South, resulting in 'a
desperate renewal of the civil war.'
This is puerile. Whatever moy be
the state of tho Southern morale
under the unfortunate alternations
and vascillatiou.s of policy which
have been imposed upon them, they
are as unequal as they are unwilling
to take part in n renewed revolt of
arms. While, therefore, we set aside
all Buch forebodings, we turn with
pleasure to tho remark of the writer
first quoted, who, keenly observing,
but somewhat too believiugly trust?
ing, the signs of trouble that still
exist, says: 'Notwithstanding all this,
I do not despair of the republic.'
Undoubtedly, we havo much yet to
do before wo aro safo from disturb?
ance. Patience, and justice, and
common sense have a hard road and
a long one yet before them, but the
republic has weathered too great a
gale to founder in the after swell."
THE TAX ON COTTON.-It is credi?
bly stated that Senator Wilson is in
favor of the repeal of the tux on cot?
ton. This tax, ho says, is wrong iu
principle, and extremely unwise, and
injurious to tho spread of loyalty and
liberal sentiments in the cotton-grow?
ing States.
A STATE FOB THE FKEEDMEN.-Wo
seo it stated iu the Pittsburg Com?
mercial, that in "Williamsville, Cass
County, Michigan, there is a commu?
nity of colored people who left their
masters at the South, in tho days of
slavery, and sought a homo in tho
North. They number about 2,000.
M".uy of them own good fdrms; thoy
havo three good churches; they sup?
port good schools, and some of their
young people aro seeking an educa?
tion in higher seminaries and col?
leges. During tho war, the settle?
ment furnished a full proportion of
soldiers for the army of tho Repub?
lic."
If this statement be correct, wo
commend Michigan ns a Stato into
which tho freedmen of tho South
should emigrate with ns little delay
ns possible.
Th? President or* the IV ur Put h. \
The usually well-informed corres?
pondent of the Boston Post -writes
from-Washington: ...
I have every reason to believe that
President Johnson is about inaugu?
rating a new policy. He has deter?
mined to be "master of the situa?
tion, and redeem his administration
from tho charge of Weakness and in?
decision. He tried too long the tem?
porizing policy; bo exhausted every
effort at harmony and conciliation,
and be has now determined to stand
upon his constitutional rights as the
Executive of the nation? und resist to
the utmost tho dark wave of fanati?
cism which now threatens to engulf
the nation. He thinks that "another
four years like the past would not
leave a semblance of the Constitu?
tion, and says that the only hope of
tho nation is in arousing the people
from their fearful lethargy and teach?
ing them, in the coming elections, to
look to principles and not to men.
When Andrew Johnson was Mili?
tary Governor of Tennessee, his
position was one of great responsi?
bility, and trying in tho extreme to
one who had been educated to a
strict construction of the Constitu?
tion-who had over favored tho
masses, from which he had risen,
and who was now to see, for the first
time, his neighbors and friends
borne down by the military, and
stripped of all their civil rights. In
speaking of his observation and ex?
perience at this period of his life, the
President remarked to a friend, to?
day, that his heart bad almost bled
to witness with what facility men
could lay aside their civil rights with?
out complaint and adapt themselves
to military rule. He argued from
this of man's readiness to catoh at
any form of government in order to
quiet internal strife, and wondered
how far we Were from that state of
confusion, which was so well calcu?
lated to drive tho country into a
military despotism. His great objec?
tion to a longer continuation of Gen.
Sheridan in the command of tho 5th
Military Department was the fact
that he was habituating the pcoplo to
the tyranny of a despotic govern?
ment.
I have already telegraphed you the
true position of affairs as regards tho
Cabinet. The President informs me
that each member of bis Cabinet bas
said ho was ready te retire whenever,
in Mr. Johnson's opinion, the public
interests should demand it. Yet be
hos not determined on any change
up to the present moment, nor does
he know that a 'chango will actually
occur. At the same time, he remark?
ed that such were the peculiar cir?
cumstances surrounding his adminis?
tration, that there might be, at any
moment, a partial or an entire
change of his wholo Cabinet. Every?
thing now depended upon develop?
ments from day to day. Matters
were in that unsatisfactory and un?
settled condition that it was impossi?
ble to tell what a day might bring
forth.
The same correspondent telegraph?
ed the following on Friday night:
Mr. Johnson has electrified the
country by an exhibition of firmness
and decision, and I feel authorized
to say that the policy inaugurated
w.dl be closely followed up. Those
who oppose the Administration will
have to stand aside, regardless of
.personul considerations. Tho blow
struck at tho late Secretary of War
will bo followed by others wheuever
events may justify; and the examplo
made of Sheridan and Sickles had
better be heeded by others similarly
situated. Mr. Johnson declared to a
party of friends to-day, that having
exhausted every -effort at conciliation,
he should now unflinchingly enforce
every constitutional power to savo
the country from impending ruin;
that the simple issue was constitu?
tional government or military des?
potism, and he had fully resolved
upon the conrse ho should adopt
to fulfil the plain requirements of his
oflije. Letters are pouring in upon
tho President, from prominent men
of all parties, North and West, urg?
ing him to stand by the Constitution,
and resist those who would inaugu?
rate military rule. The President has
taken the "war path" in earnest,
and we may witness a return of the
days of "Old Hickory," and tho
"Constitution must and shall be pre?
served."
A WAY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT.
Tho Detroit Free Press recommends
the following as tho best way to pay
tho national debt and bring about
restoration and peace to tho wholo
country:
"Put the thieves out of office, nnd
put honest men in. Retrench the
expenditures of tho Government to
$100,000,000. Cut tho Freedmen's
Bureau swindle from the Treasu.y,
and thus savo millions to the people.
If the negroes are fit to vote, they
are competent to sustain them?
selves. Take the military forces
from tho South, and muster them
out of service, and leave tho peoplo
there to 'reconstruct' themselves, as
thoy were doing before Congross in?
terfered, and put them further from
tho Union than thoy wore over be?
fore. Cut off the myriads of para?
sites now hanging upon tho Treasury.
Retrench expenditures until the in?
come largely exceeds tho out-go. Ap?
ply tho surplus to thc payment of
tho national debt, and tho whole
I 'question' will bo answered."

produced any affect upon him. He

the last few days has lived on milk

Vallandigham, in a speech at Rip?
ley, Ohio, declared that tho time had
never been where there was too much
currency. Wasn't ho in the Confede?
racy duriug the war', when an elephant
couldn't have carried the price in
notes of a diamond ring?
A Methodist brother recently had
occasion to preach a discourse against
tho doctrines of immersion, but
couldn't find the text until, with
great shrewdness and good sense,
he hit upon this: "Beware of divers!
and st ran go doctrines."
The Mobile Tribune says, with a
deal of soap, that "were the devil to
come on earth in propria persona,
there would be found fools to burnish
up the pro u gs of his'tail and adorn
them with ribbons."

memory travels back fully a quarter
of a century, when, os "Miss Boonun,"
she fully organized and successfully
carried on a school of the same
character. Time passed; the mother
of the school married, and finally,
when home cares and duties required
her attention, turned over the direc?
tion of the school to another. And
now, after the lapse of so many
years, this lady, as a venerated-but,
be it remembered, not venerable
grand-mother, returns to her former
labor of love and usefulness, and is
now earnestly engaged in re-organiz?
ing and bringing the school up to its
former height of excellence. Old
friend, moy you be spared many
