fcai?"A gentleman from this section i
recently visited the Shenandoah Val
ley, Virginia, with some views of pur
chasing, but. has returned satisfied that
even there, within a few dat's travel
of the National Capital, there is no
safety for a northern man, cither for
life or property —that away from na
tional troops the expression of Union
siiitiineiits is dangerous —and that a •
man might as well locate on the wes-
tern borilors near savages AS simony
the guerrillas of the Shenandoah. who
daring the war, wer e farmers in day
time and thieves and murderers at
night, ,
VffiuAn important conversation is '
said to liuve taken place recently be
tween the President and a distingue-li
ed Senator, in which the former is ro-
V>orted as having expressed a doubt a*
to the propriety of'-further amending
tue Constitution at this time. One
great amendment had been made. I
It the basis of representation was to
be changed it could be done by appor
tioning representatives according to
the number of voters, and taxation
ace >rdii.-g to the value of the property j
in each Stale. This would, lie thought, I
place the basis of representation upon
correct principles. It would remove j
discussions as to the political equality
ot the races from Congress, and leave
States to determine the qualifications
of their voters The agitation of the
negro-franchise question in the Dis
trict of Columbia, he thought, was ill
timed, and a mere entering wedge to
its agitation throughout the States.
Proceedings of Congress
Mr Stevens, from the Committee on
Reconstruction, reported an amend
ment to the Constitution, providing
that represeniaion and taxation shall
be based on the whole number of per
sons, provided in tio States where the
elective franchises is denied or abrid"- :
od OH account of race or color, ail
such persons shall be excluded from !
the basis of representation.
In the House, Mr. Upson, (Mich. ,
from the Committee on Elections
made report that Alexander 11. Cof
froth, who has the certificate of elec
tion from the Sixteenth Congressional
District of Pennsylvania, has prima
facia the right to the seat from that :
district, and is entitled to take the
oath of office and occupy the said seat
without prejudice to the contestant,
Wm. H. Koontz.
Mr. Paine (Wis.), from the minority
of the committee, made a report that i
Wm. If. Kooutz is prima facie entitled
to the seat.
Both roports propose that the con-!
testants serve on Mr. Coffroth, within
fifteen days after the passage ot the j
resolution, a particular statement of
the grounds of said contest, and that
Mr. Coffroth sorve on Mr. Koontz, an '
answer thereto, within fifteen days
thereafter, and that both parties have ,
sixty days to take testimony in sup
port of their several allegations.
The reports lie over for future con
sideration.
A Vital Question.
Article tirst, section second, para
graph third of the Constitution of the
Union provides that "representatives
" and direct taxes shall be apportioned
'• among the several States which 'nay
" be included within this Union, accord
•' ing to their respective numbers.which
"shall he determined by adding to the
" whole number of free persons, inclu
" ding those bound to service tor a term
"of years, and excluding Indians, nut
" taxed, three-fitths of all other per
'* sons."
We intended to make some remarks
on the above quotation, but find the
following article from the Johnstown
Tribune pretty near what we desired
to say, except some illustrations from
the census returns to which we may
refer hereafter.
Under the apportionment of mem
bers ol Congress based upon the cen
sus of IsUU the South was entitled be
fore the war to nineteen members
whose constituency were of the class
denominated in the constitutional
phrase "three fifths of ail oilier per
sons," — that is. slaves. If the theory
that the late rebel Cjtales were never
out of the I'liion is accepted by Con
gress, and the policy advocated by
some of'-reconstructing" those States
is permitted to prevail, of course the
South will still lie entitled, under the
present apportionment, to those same
nineteen representatives. That is to
say, the late rebels of the South, in ad-
dition to sending representatives to
Congress for all their white population
and all their negroes heretofore free,
will send nuieteen representatives lor
three-tilths of their late slaves,—all ot
which slaves were loyal to the flag, and
not one of whom will be permitted to
vote by their late masters if they can
help it.
But the iniquity will not end here.
After the census of IS7O there will be
a new apportionment of political pow
er. According to the clause < f the
Constitution above quoted, five fifths of
the negroes of the South lately slaves
will be represented in Cong ess —live
fifths instead of three-fifths, for. the
adoption of tie constitutional amend
ment abolishing slavery consolidates
"all other persons" with the "free per
sons " This will give twelve more
representatives to the Mouth—in all.
thirty-one whose constituents are non
voting blacks.
I bese figures at e startling. Are the
loyal people of the country ready to
accept the results of ./*•// "reconstruc
tion.'' Are they ready to give to dis
loyal men so great a political advan
tage in the councils of the nation?—
\ea, and in the r-leetorai College, too?
for every member of Congress counts
one vote in the choice of a President
and ice President. Arc they ready
to surrender the Government of the
country into the hands of Southern
rebels and their sympathizers in the
.Noitio for, who needs to be convinced
that, without an amendment to the
Constitution which will base represen
t.itien on voters instead of numbers,
the Democratic party, so culled, will
soon be reinstated in power, to restore
slavery in f.-tot. repudiate the Federal
debt, and j lace Hubert E. J.ee and
others like him in high places at Wash
ington?
It was not for this that the lato War
for the Union was prosecuted for lour
long not for this. It cannot be
that Congress will permit so anti ro
publican, so unjust, and so dangerous
a plan of "reconstruction" to be adopt
ed. i here must be security for the
future— security against rebel domina
tion in the halls of Congress and at
the White House. We have "an abi
ding faith that the present Congress
will give us such security, before a sin
gle rebel is ever suffered to legislate
lor the whole country.

Susquehanna Fisheries' Restoration Bill.
The committee, of which Col. James
Worrall is chairman, have finished their
labors, and a comprehensive hill has
been prepared, which was read in the
House on Friday. We copy the fol
lowing summary of its provisions from
the Telegraph :
It provides that it shail he the dutv
ot any persons or corporations owning
dams in the .Susquehanna river and its
principal tributaries to construct there
in such sluices or other devices as to
permit the passage ot fish—directs the
appointment by tne Governor of a com
missioner, who shall, before the first
of next June, designate the location ot
such sluices, having m view the best
, sites for the tree passage of ti-h, &c.,
and fixing the length thereof, his de'
cision on the subject to he final The
pay of the commissioner is fixed at 810
per day with tiie same additional per
diem allowance tor one <>r more assis
tants. it t lie sluices are not construe
ted by the first of November, it i> made
the duty ot the c oiimissionet* to report
the same to the disti ict attornev of the
county in which said dam is located,
who is required to prefer a hill of in
dictnient loi maintaining and keeping
up a public nuisance. fhe offence is
mad.; a misdemeanor, and upon con
viction, the persons or corporations
owning said dams shall he fined in anv
sum not less than five thousand dollars,
nor more than twenty thousand dol
lars; and if the sluice shall not he per
fected within thirty day* after lite con
viotion, it is in ide the duty of the court
to issue a rit to the sheriff of the
proper county, commanding him to
abate said dam at the cost of the per
sons or corporations owning the same.
It makes it unlawful for any person to
fish with some or net within one half
mile below the aforesaid sluices, under
a penalty of not less than three hun
dred and not more than one thousun i
dollars. Eel or fish baskets are pro
hi hi ted also, under a penalty of not
iess than five hundred dollars. It
makes it unlawful, under a penalty ot
not less than twenty thousand dollars,
and an imprisonment of not less than
twelve months, for any person to ob
struct or to close temporarily anv <>t
the sluices provided for. The"hill also
repeals the joint resolution of the 19th
of March, relative to the darn of
the Susquehanna Canal Company at
Columbia. One-half tiie fir.es provid
ed lor in the bill goes to the informer,
and the other halt to the common
schools.
The returns of the official vote of
the last election in this state, were
