more than probable that the I' S

MvgTKRiot a Death - Janes Per
rrman of this county left Sherman
Tuesday evening last with a two
horse aagon to go to his hone about
five miles from town. Sonatina af
ter dark the horse* cane bona with-
out the driver—the night waa intense
ly cold with a strong wind fron the
north—ineffectual search waa made
during the night the next morning
search was continued and the miss
ini; man found dead within a .half
wile of home. No visible narks of
violence aero found upon the body
snd as he left town sober it is hardly
supposable that he was frozen to
death altogether the affair ia rather
mysterious. Theae are the facta in
the case as we have received them
Investigation juay devalope the cau«c
of death no inquest has been held.—

The 1'aria Vindicator states that
we are half right in surmising that
the indebtedness of Latnar county
has been to a great extent produced
by "jail birds." but nays they have
been mostly of the " plain person
sion. meaning irhii> All of them
he say« were Demo rat* Being a
" one horse poney lawyer he had
unmet bin. to do with the gentry and
was curious to tind out their politics.
I'pon inquiry he ascertained they
always wanted democratic papers for
perusal Thin to our m»nd shows
that they had some decency left or
wanted to put on a show of honesty
Occasionally lie found a mongrel
who asked for the Vindicator or the
I New Testament. We infer from thin
thai if he cnllcd Cor one he had no
use for the other . he was preparing
to sink deeper in infamy or repent
Or it may be ho thought that the
Vindicator man. although a "one
j horse poney lawyer. was powerful
at headquarters when? the greater
the rascnl the more certain of safety.

in Marshall on the 27th ult. in
which Caldwell. Norton Flanagan
and Whitmore figured. If she had
been hero herself and had seen how
mean th>y looked she would have
imagined she waa sitting for her own
photograph. In other words she
would have seen herself as others see
her. If the photographs of these
men had been taken as they up
pcsied that lay and Mint North
they would create a revolution in

picturus with tho negro aseemblege

W. J. (tauter of Wood county

have satisfied him that he is not the

midnight assassins ami his house
shot into (not in two.) He aaya :
" My life would be in danger if I
continued to run for the Convention
and I believe any other mnn endan-
gers his life by running as a candi-
date for the Convention who favora
reconstruction under tkc Military 1

The extraordinary character of your
letter of the third would seem to pre-
clude it reply hut the manner in which
publicity is given to the correspondence
whereof that letter forum p.r. and the
grave questions which nre involved in-
duces this mode of giving the proper se-
quel to the communication which have
passed between us. After quoting from
Grant's letter the Presidentsays When
a controversy upon a matter of fact
reaches the point to which this has
; been brought further aaaertion or deni-
al between the immediate pnrtiea should
! cease especially where the other side
| of it loses that char>."'.«r of resnectful
: discussion which is required by tlie re-
lations in which the parties stand to
each other After quoting fromOmnt's
| letter again the President says. The
j 7H>int is that before you changed your
| view* you had secretly determined to
| do the very thing which you at last did
j surrender the office to Mr. HUnlwn
[ You may have changed vour viev-s aa to
! the law'but did certainly change your
views a* to the course you had marked
j out for yourself from the beginning.
The President argues at tome length
upon the legality of hie order to Grant
to disregard any order coming from
1 n...t makinif tha »l ft til*
government will not obey tits direct or-
dei's but will obey his orders The
i President concludes Without further
comment ujK>n the insubordinate atti-
tude which ynu have aseumed 1 am at
a l<>»* to know how you can relieve
yourself from ol>odience to the order of
the Presided who is made by ih« Con-
stitution the commander in chief of the
army and the imvy and is therefore the
official superior as well of the general
of the army as of the secretary of War
The following is the President's lettei
to the secretary present at the conver-
sation on the 14th ot January This
morning s Chronical contains a corres-
pondence between the President and
Grant as reported from the War I>e-
pertinent in answer to a call from the
House it calls attention to the corres-
pondence especially that part relating
to the conversation l«etweeu Grant and
the President ami request* a statement
of what was said on that occasion
8«e. Wells says my recollection of the
conversation corresponds with your
statement vif it in your letter of tlie
31st of Januarv. The three points
specified in that fetter giving your rec-
ollection of the conversation are cor-
rectly stated. Secretary MoCulloch
says i cannot undertake to state the
1 tree me language useu out i navs no
testation in saying that your account
1 of that conversation ia given in vonr
j letter of the 31 »t to Urant substantially 1
find in nil important particular* accords
; with ror recollection of it* Secretary
j Kendall suys 1 have read carefully the
j correspondence in question sad partic- I
u'.Hrly the letter of the Preeideut to
j Oeneral Urant of the 3let The follow-
ing extract froia that letter if according
to my recollection a correct statement
of the conversation that took place be-
tween the President and He* Urant
at the eahinet meeting on the i-Uh of
January. Seward* letter is quite loag
giving a detailed account of hie iia-
preeeion of what ooeurred ouoting the
substance of what the President Maid
Seward says 1 did not understand Urant I
a* denying nor as explicitly admitting |
this statement in the form and full
extent to which you made them Hi* j
admission of them wss rather indirect {
and circumstantial though I did not
uuderstand it to be an evssive one ;
After further details Seward continue*
Certainly (ion. Urant did not at any
time in the cabinet meeting insist that |
he had in the Snturdar's conversation |
sitlier distinctly or finally advised you
of his determination to retain from the
eharfas of the war debt otherwise than
under your own direction lis ae^ui-
eseed in your statement that the Satur-
day eonvereatioa ended with an expee-
tation that there would be a subeeauent
conference of the subject which he as
well as yourself supposed sou id reason
ably take placs on Monday. Oen. Mrast
admitted that it was his expectation or
purpoee to call on you on Monday
Oen Urant assigned reasons for the
omission f swards letter canoed shouts
of aits mate derision and ineredality

at first refWd to vacate but a mild
! application of military authority had

Two of the new appointees are now

I PlOFOtfBD RkUIMT IATION IN
Lot ihiana.—We copy m follows
I from a iptoikl Washington dispatch
| to ike St. Louis Republican :
An effort i» being rosdc to get
(ion. 11 uncock to reopen the registry
in Louisiana. It appears that under
the impression that by not register -
: ing or not voting they eould defeat
the reconstruction of tbe Stole a
| large nuuber of whitee declined to
register. The preeent Congreee
however proposes to enact that a
majority of the votee eaat shsll be
| nufficient for the ratification of the
| recouatruetiou of the constitution
and nothing can be accomplished
l therefore by staying away from the
polls. The conservatives wish to get
the registry reopened to allow the
registration of thoee who staved away
when the books wore opened. Pres-
ident Johnson through his fit'nds
has made the rcuuest of Gen. Han-
cock but the Ueneral has thus fsr
given no indication of compliance.
Tmr Ciiammli Co*vemtio*—
The telegraph informs us that the
charcole convention now in seeeion
at New Orleans hsve adopted an or-
dinance providing for an election to

The aBrmaace wnien iniiuwww
that this tvesly-Mi ia Am fwrthi
of all the States kiwwi to |he con-
ititatioa. it ia a deelarAtfea that
the ten Soathera 84a tee mo out of
Ilia leion ia «M reepeete and that
the I'aion in fiset coasiate at thia
time of oily tweaty torau iastead of
thirty-aeven State*.
According to Uits theory the se
ceaaioniste did succeed in gcttiag out
of the t'aien and carrying oat of
existence wore thaa a fourth in nuni-
ber of the Statea ; which aaverthe-
Ifsaas continue to be represented in
stars on the national beaaer—-aot to
make invidious mention of the strip***
which they feel as well as aee em-
blematically displayed there; are
divided into cuagreaeional diatrieta
and judicial diatrieta and internal
revenue diatrieta and are filed with
swarms of ofleers who here no title
to any authority whatever ever per-
soaa or property exeept ae derived
from a constitution which Mr. Sum-
ner officially declares ia abolished as
to them totally.
We think there aheuld be twenty
two in the list of the ratifying States
aUfcaagt oily twenty.® aa mm enU'
tuerated in the oepiea we have seen.
The omitted name ia that of Maine
whieh we are very sure haa ratiled it.
While this motioa is peadiag at
Washiagton we aee that tw* of tho
ratifying Statea are taking ateps to
revoke their conseat. The Demo-
crat* h&re majoritiee ia the I«egieU-
tare of Ohio aad New Jeraey and ia
eaeh of their reeolatioae era trying
to reaeiad the ratification reeolutions
of the Vreceding Legietature and to
withdraw their aeaeat. It is aa legit
imate to withdraw a consent before
the act is oompl*Ced as it woald be to
ehaage any other vote before the
result is declared. One Honae of
the Ohio Legislature hae adopted the
rusolutioa.
Of the twenty-seven States of the
Sumner fTnion twenty-two have
I voted for ratification; three have
I voted agaiaatH; Califbrwi*aad Iowa
| are yet to vote.
| If the two States of Ohio and
I New Jeraey reeall their ooneeat the
j vote will atand 20 for ratification 2
! for rejection and 2 to vote one of
whieh California will in conse-
quence of the difference of politica
between the two Houaes not be able
to give a deciaion either way.
Twenty votee ia not three-foartha
of 27 and therefore the amendment
will not be ratified withoat tile votc.<
of Ohto and New Jersey even oa
the Sumner baa in of a shrunken
Union. One new vote muet eoaae in
n*Amm «n R»V#> Kin A MM for )li« prrtf
oaition.
j It ifl evidently of the utmost im-
portance to hit faction to hare i de-
' ciaion that thia amendment be de-
clared adopted by the omiaaioa to
count the southern 8U a. If tlicy
are to he counted the rMifcation i*
liopeleee fhr a long time. In a full
Union of thirty-seven State* three-
fourths will require twenty-eight
State* which ia one more than the
whole number Mr. Sumner a How* to
be in the Uniou at all. A unant-
moua vote of all the represented
States would farther require the rote
of one at leaat of the Southern dis-
franchised State* in order to give
validity to the ratifleation. Five at
leaat of the repreaeated Statea are
opposed and it therefore aeeda sit
of the expelled Southern States to
make a constitutional ameudmeut
valid.
