THE latest report from Georgia runs that
the Constitution and the Republican State
ticket have each 10,000 majority, but that
the Legislature has a majority of Demo
crats, many of whom are ex-rebels, and can
not take the oath. -
Aitit-Lums has ratified the laVth Amend
atury Article of the Consfitution. Lou qinna
and the two Carolinas will very speedily do
the same, thus affording the requisite three
fourths number of the several States legal
izing its adoption as an organic law of the
Union. .
MR. Evens continued his very able po
litical speech before , the Senate yesterday.
It is generally regarded, in Republican cir
cles at Washington, as made in part for the
special advancement and glory of the orator
binicugf, and in part under, the inspirations
of Secretary Seward.
'l'icsaz is no longer 4 possibility of, the
submission of the impeachment to the
Judgment of the Senate this week. Mr.
*:Siarts has occupied its attention for the best
part of three days. Some four hours are to
be consumed in the reading of Mr. Stan
_ ,b_ery!s argument, and it is probable that Mr.
'BiWkilm will not address the SCnate at all

days more. Let us all possess our souls in

remarks, as to the gratuitous rumor from

IT is FrATED by the Cincinnati Chronicle
that the business . men of that city'are divided
in opinion upon the question of wide or
narrow bridge-spans, and that the -diviiion
enured to the advantage of the narrow-span
thTates, who regard the - latest salon of
Ohio Legislature as settling the question
of width at three hundred feet. We regard
this result as most unfortunate for the
growing interests of Cincinnati. Among
river men there is a general and just belief
that it will be seriously detrimental to the
safety of navigation. A well organized,
active and energetic combination has thus
enabled a special interest to, triumph at the
expense of the general welfare. It is in this
way that the great, Clumsy, awkward, slow
; footed public permits itself again and again
:to" be plundered of its rights by the wide
l'aivake aggressions of private aiterprise'
DEMOCRATIC F.MRARRASSMENTS.
The opposition to the Republican party
will find the question of a platform as full
• of embarrassments at New York as the se
, lection of a Presidential nominee. , .Nor are
the two difficulties entirely indepe.ndent "of
each other. . In fact the first well-marked
'line to be 'drawn by the Convention,
whether upon candidates or principles, will
be practically a settlement upon both
points :
•
Tho previous exPerience of the party has
with a single exception shown that 'princi
- plea, are of no consequence ' and the per
. sonal'availsbility of men has been the de
oldie !consideration. The Convention of
.1888 introdaM the Democracy to a test
upon principles entirely Flthouttme ce d ent .

to the
p ar ty s o many. of its triumphs,mphtriumphs,the
test was fatal, a schism resulted, and,
while one fragmeni: of the 'party nVowed
their objectionable dogma with a
bold sincerity.
,which was du . !-tiine,
illustrated Upon' '• 'Marry' sanguinary
battle-fleld, the other 1 and Arger wing of
ihe Democracy attenipied,: the, .old game
of evasion and duplicity; to recover the lost
confidence of the 'people. The crisis proved
too dangerous and its peril reached too near
the lifeof the Reirriblie -for ainere . E.trici of

defenders, and,becaine not only the faithful
and trusted allies of the Repubifeim organi:
zation, but, from that day to this, consti
tute an honored and influential portion of
the party of Popidar Rights. ' :
In .1864. 'when. the remnants of the old
Democracy met at Chicago, Copperheadism,
pure and'simple, ruled its deliberations, and
the party again went to -the - people upon a
thinly veiled, admission of its disloyalty to
the Union. Had the" party then no reliance
except upon such remnants of its old. or
ganizations as had withstood the temptations
of armed secession on the one hand' and the.
sacred claims of imperilled liberty, on the
other, a mere handful only "of followers
would ..have rallied lout its. dishon

the man ratizht be himself or thndollar his.
.owri--these were the new 'recruits whom.
the Deniocracy were so lucky as to drtun tip
to their support,t and in such numbers
as to give them once more a tolerable
show as a niinbrity at the polls.' ''
Such is substantially the character of the
Democracy of 1868. A very few additions
have been made to them from those weak
brethren in whose' breasts country had ob-.
tamed a temporary sway over party, but
whose partizan proclivities returned when
the dead-point of danger had been passed.
But the number of these "war Democrats,"
who, fainting by"the way-side, have strag
gled out of the ranks of the Union, to be
picked up.by. the Democratic ambulances,
keeping step hereafter to the music of Dixie;
is; let us be thankful, very small and their_
influence extends no further than their
votes. It is the party composed of such ele
ments, animated by "such sentiments„ and
led by the same old Copperhead leaders,
which calls itself still the Derdocracy and
meets at New York in a few weeks in Na
tional Convention. - •
One leading question will decide the choice
of candidates, RS it will contrOrthe autliri
tative utterances of the platform. It will
govern theorganization Of the body in the
election of its presiding officer, and of all
its committees. A prominent western candi
&Ste has forced this questionupon the party,
and he will stand or fall in its official coun
cils upon , the issue he- leur made. He will
'bricotmter a determined and bitter opposi—
tion. It is a question of the pocket , quite as
much as of principle, with 'the Democratic
leaders, and questions of the pocket are as
potential with , these gentlemen as with the
most of - men. Mr. Pendleton's anti-war
record especially , commends him to the in
fluential, Copperheads,to the mass of the
party, in fact, excepting the small
percentage in whose ears the old
and sweet music of the Union,fife and drum
still echoes,. but his financial theory, if en
dorsed by a noinination, and successful be
fore the people, is, to many of the magnafes •
of the Democracy, - the next thing to finan
cial ruin. They will, if they can, defeat
his aspirations by any means, fair or foul,
and the prospect jus; now seems favorable
to the success of their combinations against
him. His own friends, on the other hand,
have committed themselves to his proposi:
tions beyond the possibilty of withdrawal.
A- Democratic election:campaign this year
in the west, 'without "PENDLETON and
greenbacks" would .be like the, play of
Hamlet, omitting the Prince from the cast.
The 'emasculated -programme would' leave
them absolutely nothing to say.
This is the question which causes our
Democratic brethren most 'serious concern.
It is critical to this degree that -It involies
either the peril of a "bolt" or such a dis
couragement of a large minority of the par
ty .
as to put success in November com
pletely beyond possibility. This question
must be met at New York; it cannot be
evaded, and the party is fully aware of the
dangers Involved. A single consideration
may have :decisive weight in its solution.
With "PENDLETON and greenbacks," the
party may reasonably make pretensions to
some sort of platform Without that issue,
they haft no platform at all. The question of
taxation is being rapidly adjusted to meet
the views of the people and the needs of the.
Government. Reconstruction, half com
pleted, will, in sixty days more, be , an ab
solute. and irreversible finality . Neither
upon a protective tariff nor upon universal
suffrage is the Chicago: Convention likely
to-give them any bhow. , They have nething
but PENDLETON and rag-money to fall back
upon, and that, such as it is, they will re
gard as better than. nothing, and so, for the
hope of making a respectable fight; the Ohio
politician and his theories will stand a chance
to beaccepted as a inatter,Ofirecessipy:-

The Advance, of Chicago, a Congrega
tional paper, edited with signal ability,
favors the classifying of the members in its
churches, something-like the Class arrange
ment in the Methodist Episcopal .Church,
and it thinks they will never be thoroughly
organized till they adopt some such plan..
The Advance also advises the use of local
preachers-to do certain kinds of missionary
work, and co-operate with the pastor in
various ways.
It is surprising the expansion of the Ger
man mission work of the M. E. Church
since 1835, when Rev. Dr. Nast, the dis
tinguished Biblical author, stood alone• of
this. German element in that Church. In
1867, statistics show 32,072 members, 346
traveling ministers, 324 local preachers, 447
churches, 177 parsonages, 2 orphan asylums,
2 colleges, and one imigrant home. This
property valued in the aggregate will
amount to $1,656,386.. The same year the
church collections reached $65,165,66.

Recent information represents that the
Baptists of Chicago are vigorously at work
in promoting the erection and endowing of
a Theological Seminary-at Chicago. At the
First Baptist Church, Sunday week, ten
thousand diollars was subscribed toward the
enterprise. _ -
A Roman Catholic revival, or mission.
says the Independent, has occurred in Nor
wich, Conn. The Church wasthronged for
weeks, the . confessional I was crowded day
and evening, and the results, according to
representation, were "Three. thousand five,
hundred conversions, hundreds of Itrayed
sheep were brought back to the fold, the es
tablishment of the - confraternities of the
Holy Rosary and of the Angelic Warfare,
and many other heavenly graces."
The American Missionary Association is
doing incalculable good in the South. It
supported last year, in connection with
other auxiliary societies that labor with it,
four hundred and seventy-five preachers and
teachers. Of these but thirty were ordained
clergymen..
