A National Convention to Amend ¢ Constitution, bill, Senator Benton objected to it on the ground that it had too many stump speeches in its stomach. In the eume eense the present consti- tution of the United States had eeveral emali rebellions and a great civil wae in its stomach. We believe that our recent troubles have pretty thoroughly purged the constitution of such dis- orders; but others remain which ought to be attended to@senee. A national convention of all tates tosettio all disputed points would plex: + it parties, and give us firm ground to tress eon for the next century. It ought to be eaiicd without delay, and the civil business of this war could then be wound up as hand- somely as the military business has been. Nothing is to be gained by having a constitu- tion about any of the provisions of which there can be a reasonable doubt. Everything in the constitution should be perfectly clear and precise. The framers of the constitution were men wise in their generation; but they were not wise enough for this generation. They pro- vided for thirteen States, not for thirty-six. The powers sufficient to quell the Whiskey rebellion could not suffice for Jeff. Davis’ mam- moth rebellion. It followed, as a matter of course that the government had either to adopt extra-constitutional measures, or allow the Union to be dissolved. They chose the former course, and were gloriously sustained by the patriotic people. By the light of the dreadful civil cenflict through which we have passed we see that the constitution as it is does not come up to our ideas of the constitution as it ought to be. Fourth of July appeals to our forefathers are all very well; but it would be strange if, after all these eventful years, we did not know at least a little more than our worthy but old fogy ancestors. The mother and father of an interesting infant provide hi with elegant baby clothes, which fit his tiny figure admirably; but when the infant has grown to be a man it would be very absurd to insist upon his wearing those garments because his parents made them for him. Just as absurd is it to insist that this giant of a nation shall con- tinue to wear the constitution provided for its infancy, but which it has long since outgrown, President Buchanan professed to believe, at the beginning of our civil war, that it was his duty to give up the Union because there was no constitutional way of saving it. Many silly people entertained the same notion, and would not listen to the Heratn’s call for troops. When President Lincoln came into office he was perplexed as to the proper, constitutional method of putting down a rebellion which had never hesitated for a moment to try to put down the government by any possible method. We wasted a couple of years in talking about an insurrection; «nd a# soon as we got through talking and began to make war the rebellion began to give way. The constitution should be so amended that in case of any similar out- break the President would know just what to do and how to do it. The nation ought never again to be left at the mercy of a stupid, half- hearted blunderer like Buchanan, who was so befogged by the mysterious question of State rights that he could not make up his mind whether the capital of the United States was at Washington or Richmond until Grant opened his eyes a few weeks ago. The suspension of the habeas corpus, the plea of military necessity, the practice of political arrests without due form of law, the trial of civilians before mifitary tribunals and the thousand other vexed and vexing questions which have arisen during the late war, require attention, Here is an immense power which out to belong to somebody, and which every- body has claimed because the constitation does not say who shall possess it. We: have seen that some suc power, more or less anlimited, is indispensable in cases of emergency, and the people, who have submitted to its. exercise with extraordinary patience, are wililag to be- stow it upon seme braneh of the government, to be used when required. Bat it is important that such a power shonld he explicitly restricted to certain crises, and it is even more important that the people should know to whom tbat power belongs. We have often heardi the Secretary of Siaterand the eretary of War tinkling their little: bells at the same time most inlimemoniously, We have had the President pardoning those whom the Seeretaries have punished, and the Sceretaries punishing these whom the President has par- doned. At various times there have seemed to be quite serious-confticts of authority, and at other times only the: good nature and good sense of the: people: Have averted dangerons difficulties, All these:matiors, then, should be speedily setiled, definitely and satisixetorily, by an amendment of the constitution But not only do. the rights of the government, the rights of the people. ts of the courts and the rights of the army require: cevision— the rights of ered and adjusted. it haa deeited doctrines are iaadm more dowd th although slavery isp are in favor of an amendment | tion te bare the peculiarly obnoxious institu tion legally, finally and indubitably : and we | ave in faver of a constitutional amendment to bury State rights in the ss y. In life these two rebellions institutions have nearly always | been wnited, and in death they should not be Ifatlowed i above ground n their preseng state, they may, sooner or later, become troublesome again, ft is always better to clench these matters beyond all dispute. During «a great civil war, “a we tonst posh | without « pause, and hove neither time nor | inclination to stop to perform funeral + the dead bary the Stules are aldo tesbe consid- it this war has decided that the: old State State rights ‘y. Still, caliy dead, we to the constitu: righ ¢ o much to reme vdopt the Scriptural motio, their dead.” But when the conflict is over, then interment is in order. ‘I soldiers of the Army of the Potomac on their march te Wash- ingion halted at old battle fields to Wary the skeletons of former foes ; and ao we, marching victorionsly onward, afier so many successes, should halt long enongh to pub State rights out of sight aad mind by « conatl- | tutional amendment. But the question which is, perkapa, the moat pressing, we have reserved for the last, It is evident that the subject of negro suffrage is to De agitated fn the same spirtt ond by the same | persons ag the subject of abolitionism has been. | Megara. Phillips and Suimoecr have already gone some of their enonts wore only 900 | ay far aa to state that they are prepared to ad- vocate the repudiation of the war debt if negro anitrage be denied. Chiet Justice Chase is on & singolae lowe among the aggrgos and Ue canebrakes, diligently sowing the soeds of a | social war hetween the whites and blacks of upon President Johnson. to force bim to permit the newrnes ta vote. We have no fear that he will yield to thia attack; first, heewse he is not 1 man to he bullied, and, second, becanse he haa nothing fo surrender, He contd no’ give the negroea the right to vote, if he wished to do 80, withont violating the constitution and | his oath of office. The suffrage question ia | clearly reserved to the several States, But just at present it i# — nation- ally important that the whole question should be reconsidered; that all the Stites shonid be unanimous in regard to it; that the sudirage should be 30 extended as to represent, the taxes paid to aupport the government, and that there should be no auch differences in | regard to the qualifications of voters now exist between the several Statea. For these reasons a constitutional convention should be called to arrange this matier forthwith. We take it that the people of this country desire no more agitation, no more controversy, no more trouble. They have passed through fonr stormy years, and they wish and need rest, They are ready to concede almost anything in reason for the sake of quiet. Let those con- cerned improve the qavantages afforded them by the. present disposition of the people, and call a constitutional convention to remedy all defects and introduce all necessary amend- ments, 80 that we shall be able to live happily and prosperonsly under the constitution for another century. Y tae Assasstnation—THE Evinence AGarnst Tnopson, Tucker, Sanpgns, CLEARY AND CLAY.— The testimony of Sanford Conover, James B, Merritt and Richard Montgomery, for some time. suppressed, but now before the public, makes some remarkable revelations. It will be read with deep inierest by those fugitive rebel lead- ers who were so disgusted by the fact that President Johnson offered a reward for their capture. It is to be hoped that it will also be read with deep interest by that part of the London press which argues that all (hese men are entitled to an immediate pardon. President Johnson offered rewards for the capture of Jeff. Davis, Clement C. Clay, Jacob Thompson, Beverly Tucker, George N. Sanders and W. C. Cleary. Jeff. Davis was the only one of these who heard of the fact in silence, All the rest united to fill the papers with a horrified outcry of injured inno- cence. One declared it was an attempt to degrade his “Christian President”’—meaning Jeff. Davis, that superfine Cbristian who ran the prison. pen at Andersonville. They declared they had hardly heard of such a man as Bootb, and certainly had never seen much less known him, One man gave himself up to stand his trial, and the others declared that they would do so if they thought it pos- sible that they could be tried fairly; but ii the meantime they kept at a very safe distance, Now it is given as evidence on oath that all these men were actively engaged in the ar- rangement of this plan fo murder Mr. Lincola, If we could accept the stwiements of Thompson, Sanders and the rest as (o their innocence of w crime that they are charged with, and if they were not all before so deeply perjured as to be: out of the pale of credit, even then the straight- forward stories of these unimpeached witnesses must impress every one witl the truth of ihe accounts they give of their intercourse with the conspirators in Canada. Bat ‘os it is, with these conspirators telling their own stories on one side and the witnesses on the other, it is everything to nothing in favor of the veracity of the latier. It is impossible any longer to doubé the complicity of every one named in the President’s proclamation. Rumor or ay Exrra Skssion or Concress.—A rumor has been set afloat from Washington that President Johnson will probably before long issue a call for an extra session of Con- gress, and there may be somethtog in it. The | long interval of six months to the regular meeting of the two houses may be longer than the Executive will think ii expedient to wait, especially as each house upon the qnestion of admitting the members elected’ thereto from any State is the absolute judge or nay. Thus the concurrence of the two houses is Necesaary to the consummation of the work of reconstruction in cach and afl of the late rebellious States. In this view, and in order to deoure some uniform systenyin a law from yen Dongress, it is not improbable: that President Jobnsow may call an extra session, and lay before: the two houses not emty his general programme of reconstruction, but some import- ant suggestions in reference to: the relief and encoaragement to labor and trade of the impoverished white and the emancipated black population of the South, and im reference, also, to their rights of property, confiseations and Ife may likewise find it expedient to eail for some measures of legislation touck- ng our national finvnces and national debt, and’ ihe question of a general bankrupt law Upon all these things there is proper work for specint session of Congress: and yet it is possible that, looking to practical Andy Johnson may determine to do without the ae loxations. resulta, istance of the fussy aod impr Nortuera abolition radicals as long as » yssiisie. At a meeting of the rou coanties in Virg A Pam Bratwsine. farmers of half a de between Richmond and the Blue Ridge, the abolition of slavery was recognized, and & was agreed asa general vale thal their emancipated negroes, field hands, should ordinarily he paid dollars a month and, found ;” anéjin har- dollar a day and found. This Is fuir begiuning, coosidering the: present seareity and high prices of provisions in Vir ginia ; and the example thus set of recognizing and providing for the new ordee of things among them should at once be follawed up by the farmers and planters throughout the South. They went into the war for Jett Davis anda proslavery Sonthern confedorsey to, secure their “niggers,” and they come oat of the war with the low of Jef, their Seuthern coaled- eracy, “niggers” and all; bos they will soon find, # they goto work in the right way, thal they have made a good bargain in the ex- chaage. Mexioo—An — GxvLANATION TexAM AND Wanren—Having learned that a considerable force of Union soldiers—twenty or thirty thou- sand men—is to be detailed for the pacification and reorganization of the great State of Texas, the French Minieger at Washington, the Count Montholon, it & said, will demand an explana- tion of Yc. Seward, Mexico iv go very coa- witha Ce the river, aad give some tronble to to make an explanation. Very pa ai explain—be ia always ceady 6 expiring pu, still we apprehend that the climate of Mexico is getting unbealthy to Austriana and Preneb. men. j Oor Mmarary any Navan Acvnexms.—The time for the usual annual cxamination of the students ia our naval and military academies having now arrived, these interesting ceremn- nies are being proceeded with. The cadets of the naval school were reviewod last week by Admi- rala Farragut and Porter, at Newport, whither the Academy was temporarily transferred from Anuopolis during the war, The young men who are. destined to become the future officers of the navy had, therefore, an opportunity ot) seeing in their examiners the finest modeis of naval commanders which the world presents to-lay aa examples of heroism, patriotisia cod akill in their profeasion, demonstrated in the service of their country.. Such aa opportunity cannot be fost. It will make an impression upon the plastic minds of these youths, which will. cemain in after life aa a stimulus to great deeds—an incentive to imitate ond rival the career of men who have vefleeted honor upon themselves and their country. The military cadets of West Point also are now undergoing their annual examination under the supervision of our two greatest geu- erals. General Sherman went up there from this city yeaterday, and Genera Grant will follow on Thursday. The veteran General Scott is already there, Thus the fuiure soldiers of the republic will be presented to, and ex- horted by, men whose names will be forever historic. They will meet face to fave the living heroes fresh from the scenes of victory, and the great military hero of a generation which pre- ceded them, and will learn to look up to them with veneration as types of what they them- selves aspire to. The influence of such an event upon those who are graduaiing in the same school with Grant and Sherman will be deep and lasting. The deeds of ancient heroes, whom history has taught these young men to emulate, will be as nothing compared to the force with which this visit will impress itself upon their characters. ‘ In them they will recognize the value of the institation and the studies which have created these soldier children of the nation—once stu- dents like themselyes—and conducted them to the highest pinnacle of fame, The career of such men as Grant and Sherman enforces upon public.opinion the importance of our Military Academy, which was pretty well tested during the Mexiean war, and haa since proved of in- estimable value to the couniry, and should suggest to the government the oecessity of sus- taining the institution at West Point and the Nava? Academy by every possible meuns. This war las demonstrated a very prominent fact, that while all the politica! geaerals have proved failures, and have fallen ont of sight, the West Point officers have achieved eminence and success, The value te the conntry of maintain- ing the Military Academy is, therefore, practi- cally estrblisbed.
