British North America, to the United States, Qs an equivalent for the Alabama claims, he would have hit the nail on the head, even as “‘e remedy for the existing distress in London.” How? Readily enough, in some international ‘rrangement with the annexation providing homes, homesteads and temporary subsistence for the London poor in the New Dominion, a8 farmers, tradesmen, mechanics, laborers and house servants; not in scattering them about 4s chance may offer, but in locating them in new villages and towns, in self-supporting communities, Let the author of the aforesaid handbill act upon these hints in his proposed annexation movement, and he will be apt soon to raise a breeze in London which will be felt in Downing street.

Criticisms of New Bouks. Tas Fortier CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. By William H. Barnes. Portraits on Steel by George E. verine. Two volumes, New York: George E. Perine. We ‘doubt if many intelligent persons,.thongh they be as palpably partisan as Mr. Barnes, will place the same high estimate upon the Forticth Congress as he does. It certainly must ever occupy a very prom- fnent historical position, because of the great ques- tions 1¢ was calied upon to meet, and because 1t had the doubtful glory of being the first national legisia- ture that impeached and tried a President of the United States. But history must record ite fact that tn all tho misorable bickerings between the President and Cougress in their separate reconstruciion poll- oles the amount of true statesmausiip exhibited was lamontaoly small, There were no men of Great intellectual capacity im the Egriveth Gone gress. Men ot ability were not waptiig; bitter, ‘unrelenting partisans were numerous; but of clvar- ‘headed, practical and politic statesmen there were Rone. That asettioment was made of the recon- struction question is true, but the plan was only stum bled upon after more than one blunder uad been made. ven to-day we find that the plan was faulty and insuiticient.. Had it been conceived in the mind of @ statesman no necessity could have arisen for tue arbitrary measures which Congress 1s now imposing Upon Georsta at the present ume. ‘The restoration Of the Union was less a consideration than the per- pesenen of the power of the repubiican party. rhe ‘resident p.uoderea and fell; the democrats played Anto the hunds of the radicals, and thus entutied upon the South the most humiliating conditions, As for the republicans, pecuhar circumstances, which will hardly uappeu ugata within a century, 1avested Shem witli nore than autocratic power, Whi exercised i & most unscrupulous manner. far irom agreeing with Mr. Barnes in b inion of the Forvietl Congress, we rather beileve that it will be known to history as having possessed Jess states- manship and more audacious partisanship than any previous Congress. But if we canuot agree with Mr. barnes In hig views on the achievements of this Congress we can award him ihe liguest praise tor tue biographical sketches o! tty members, which comprise uearly tue whole contents of the two volumes.

Most educated persons feel an in- terest 1m the personal careers of promineut men; and Decause of the great events that transpired iu 1807 and 1868 it is probabie that biographies of the men who took active part in them will, lor many years to me, Possess more than the usual interest. oir. nes’ work futiy suppiles any demand tuat may wxist for sucu sketches, The February Magazines. Putnam's Magazine for February is hardly as in- teresting a3 was the January number, the contents bemg rather dull. There are, however, several arti- Cles in it of real merit, “American Railway Travel- .

Hours at Home opens with a capital paper by Rev. George B. Bacon, on “The Literature of Our Sunday Schools.” It 1s written in the same humor- Ous, satirical style that has distinguisned previous papers on tue same subject, and is Putertaining from beginning to end. “Hero” is continued. “Mary, Queen of Scots, and Queen Elizabetn” 1s an extract from Froude’s History of England. In spite of its Palpable injustice to the unfortunate Mary, it will be read with the deepest interest. Mr. Froude is one ef the most dramatic of writers, and in his account of the execution of Mary has given a vivid eax of the tragic event. “Something About Y and ‘I'he Ministry ol Beauty” are readable. “Yale Colicge One Hundred Years Ago” {s fuli of in- teres, “Compton Friars” is conciuded. “Curios. aes of Vision’ is well written, but the subject is Rardly fresi.

Al- though written in an impartial spirit and quite rea able, we repeat our conviction that 1% would bave been better never to have published it. ‘The beat article in tis number is one entitled “Shall Ameri- ean Wives be Childiess?” and writven by Howard Glyndon. The subject is discussed with great delt- cacy and in a tnorcughly sensible manner. It is a great pity that the tendency of the age gives so Much pertinence to the question. A considerabie art of the magazine 1s occupied by subjects relating the lower clavses of this metropollz, “What 1 Saw Heard at the Tombs,” leanor Kirk the Working Women” and “The Destitute and Outcast Children of New York’? are the titles of the various articles devoted to these people. “The Man Who Laughs” is a very unjust attack upon ‘Victor Hugo’s late work, which, in spite of its ex- sravagances, is one of the few fictions of the age des- fined to live. The remainder of the contents, ex- cepting the poetry, which is very ordinary, fairly susteins the reputation of the magazine.

Communication from General Terry to Presi- dent Grant-Right of Military Commander to Unseat Members of the Legislature for Disqualification Under the Fourteenth Amendment—The Admiliilstration to Support General Terry in Reoryanizing the Legis lature. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 1870. The communication from General Terry to Preat- dent Grant about Georgia matters covers twenty- five pages of manuscript and is said to be a very able argument. General Terry, who 1s a lawyer, reviews in his communication the whole subject of reconstruction, analyzing the powers and duties of military commanders under the various laws and arriving by a long tain of argument to two very Important conclusions, as follows:—First, that as military commander he 1s vested with full power to unseat all members of the Legislature who are dis- qualified from holdiag office by reason of the restric- tive provisions of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution; second, that as a necessary sequence of the above he has the right to award seats as members of the Legisiature vo such parties as may have received the highest number of votes next to those unseated by reason of disqualification. General Terry sustains the first point by the argument that the intent of the law should always be taken into consideration, and that there can be no question that the object of the framers of reconstruction legisiation and of the fourteenth amend ent was to exclude from holding office all persons who, having sworn to support the Untied States constitution and having held ofice under that constitution, subse- quently took arms against ont goveihhight 6F 46 ald dud comfort to” the enemy. if the military commander entrusted with the duty of reconstruction 1s denied the power of excluding rebels from participating in reorganizing the States when such rebels are by the constitution forbidden, unicas relieved of their dis- abilities, then, in the opinion of General Terry, the fourteenth amendment must be inoperative and the reconstruction legislation become @ dead letter. General Terry goes still further and holds that, as to the exercise of his power of excluding disqualified members, it makes no difference whether such mem- bers have taken the required oath or not. Ifthey took the oath fulsely, then, surely, that couid not make them any better entitled to neld office than before the act of perjury. As to the second point, to wit, that he has full power to award seats to such persons as received the next high- est number of votes, General Terry contends that tt 13 an absurd Interpretation of the law to deny it, All persons who were in fact disqualified under the fourteenth amendment, and received votes for office could not be swora tn legaily; the votes cast for them were entirely void; no amount of swearing could make them valid afterwards. A disqualified candidate under the fourcveenth amend- ment, he considered, could not be elected legally any more than an idiot, a non-resident, @ duellist or any member of any other class in the lust of dis- qualified, Votes ior auy such persons might be counted, but they should afterwards be thrown out as bianks and only the legal votes considered. For these and other reasons the General contends that he has full powers, but, nevertheless, he writes§ to the Presi- dent to ask Whether im case these views are put in force he will be sustained by the administration. Senators Thayer and Morton, together with Ben Butler, being apprised of the nature of General ‘Terry’s communication, waited upon the President this morning to ascertain his decision. The Presi- dent received them warmly, and very trankly stated that he had very recently said to both Secretary Beiknap and General Sherman that his own opmion ‘was that General Terry should be allowed to manage the reconstruction of Georgia in whatever way bis judgment and discretion might suggest. He be- teved General Terry to be a sound lawyer, and that he was better caiculated to understand the real position of affuirs in Georgia and to Know what conrse ougit to be pursued than any- body else. Unless General Terry should do some- thing Nagrantly in violation of law he ought not to be interfered with, He, the President, would have been betver pleased had General terry pot asked at ‘all for instructions, as he (Terry) was invested to a great extent with absolute power a8 military com- mander and should act on his own judgment, but as he had asked for instructions he, the Presideal, telt that he was bound to send an answer to the commu- nication. In reply to a question from one of the trio as to woat would be his answer to Terry’s commu- nication, thesPresident was understood to say that he would telegraph ‘lerry that the adminisiration would sustain him in the views contained in the communication. ‘Tue President further said that he would see Belknap and Sherman and have the answer sent to-day. It ig unaerstood that Secretary Belknap to-night telegraphed ‘ferry that he migat go ahead with the assurance that the aduilaistraion would sustain bin, The Inyestigntion Beiore the Board of OMicers—The Question of Eligibility of the Members of the HonseGeneral Terry Dee clines to Submit it to the State Courts.

E. Bryant, Chairman, Sir—‘‘Alter giving to your letter of the 17th inst, @ careful consideration, | have decided thai | ought not to submit the questions of law which have arisea in regard to the qualiiications of certain members elect of the Legislature to the Justices of the Supreme Court of Georgia, I have the highest re- spect for the character and attatnments of the gentiemen who compose the Court, and bave no doubt that they would endeavor to give me an tin- partial opinion; but I have jea:ned from several sources that they, or at ieast some of them, have been consulted individuaily as to the eligibulty of several of those wiose cases have been investi gated, and have given an opinion of the facts suo” tnitted tothem.

Word was given to be- gin the battle, and there, before the whole American army, formed in hoilow square, the two men stripped to the waist and engaged in combat; but, in less time than it takes to tell tt, Eaton ilfted his Hercu- lean opponent from the ground, and. twirling him over with apparently a4 much ease as a dandy would @ cane, held him up before the whole army tu this inverted position, until the giant Peunsyivanian begged for quarter.

Gould and Fisk Before the Congressional Gold Investigation Committee—Gould Acquits the President and Secretary Boutwell of All Knowledge of the Ring—Fisk Says That Corbin Assured Him of ‘ Grant’s Complicity. WasuIncTon, Jan, 22, 1870. The Gold Investigating Committee resumed their wession to-day. There was a full attendance in an- ticipation of the examination of Jim Fisk, Jr., and Jay Gould. At ten o’clock Gould appeared before the committee, His testimony was carefully con- sidered and deliverea with the force of one who deeply studies what-he has to say. The only point in Gould’s testimony was a very de- cided declaration that he considered that all efforts to link the name of the President or the Secretary of the Treasury with the transactions incident to the gold panic of September were mah- cious fabrications; that he believed that neither of those officers knew what was going on in Wall street, It was two o'clock before Fisk was sent for. The Prince of Erie made his appearance with that alr of confidence which indicated that he knew his part and would give isto the committee without much coaxing in the way of inéerrogation, gia Manner a wal diroony the Teverse of Gould's," Eek wept rectly on to say that the beginning of the com- bination with a view to a@ large specu: | lation was the embarrassed condition of the Erie road, the necessity of large amounts of Money and the desire to @o a large fall trade in bringing the crops of the West to market. The road was out of everything and was losing money. He saw a chance of making @ raise out of gold, as he haa made up bis mind that no gold would come from the government and it would be safe to go in, In making up his mind he was Supported by Gould, who had assured him that he had investigated the theories about the President, as related by Corbin. Gou!d then Gave Fisk a letter to Corbin, so that he could meet film and have a talk with him. The particular de- sire was to get early intormation. Corbin made a variety of statements, observing that he thought in this he was doing @ great national good. Corbin also said he could sce in this more money than he had ever seen or heard of before. Corbin assured Fisk that he was all rigut behind the throne. Up to the Monday belore ihe ‘Black Friday’? Fisk had seen Corbin several times. He remarked that while talking to him he felt all right, but as soon as he was away from him he did not feel so brave and found himself getting shaky. Matters did not look exactly right, and it was determined to test Corbin by sending aspecial messenger to the Presiaent, who was then visiting Washington, Pa. Corbin agreed to furnish a letver to this messenger, and & trusty person named Chapin was selected, and, to be sure that he got off on the first train, Fisk's brother- in-law went carly tn the morning, met Chapin, and rode with him to Corbin’s house, the house, while Fisk’s brother-in-law waitea in the carriage. Corbin delivered to Chapin a sealed letter, the contents of which were not knowa, as Fisk states, to either himself or Gould. It was understood as soon as he saw the President he sould tele- graph the result, The messenger left as directed, Upon his return the messenger stated tnat he called atthe residence at which tire President was stop- ping, in Washington, Pa., early in the evening, rang the betL and presented a card, marked ‘*W. O, Cha- pin, with a letter irom Mr, Corbin.” After a few minutes’ delay the President came tnto the parlor. The messenger presented the letter. The President openca the letter and read it but party through. He left the room apparently surprised. He was fone fitteen minutes, when he returned, merely re- marking “Ail right.’ The messenger went to the telegraph office and telegraphed these words, Nothing more was said, and without knowing the contents of the letter Fisk was sattstfled, trusting Corbin's sinicerit ‘This nad ctinchea the matter, and Fisk's col established, Corbin, however, Fisk stated, appeared more excited than usual, but this could be accounted for from natural causes. the crash goid was 1367 aud closed at 41. ail this was going on Secretary Loutweil arrived im te city, and a grand entertamment gotten up by the bears and the Union the bears anda tue Leaguers were in igo feather, dravk to the healih ‘of the secre. tary, toasted him and made speeches vurdencd with iulsome flattery.

The evenmy betore tue break the tra of Bewen & Co. sent Word to Fisk that if be had got ail the gold he wanted that they would like to go in, On Friday morntag Speyer turned up. Here Fisk narrated the sceues iu the Gold Room.

Fisk stated thar Secrewry Boutwell received a despatch on the sub- Ject and rushed over to the Executive Mansion, ana in a few minutes returned aud sent the dispatch vo the Asaisiant Treasurer to sell four militons. Then fonowed @ statemeat of the effect of this despatch in the Gold Kooi, When this occurred Fisk told the committee tuas he thought he would go around and sve the “damned oid fool”? Corvin. told Corbin wuat had happened, ed him of having deceived him. pued he had just beard what place. ‘She musk had = fatien.

Ue says Mrs, Corbin Was also present and produced, it 18 alleged, a ievter Irom Mrs. Graut stating tuat she hoped the matier would svon be over. Fisk says ho Was moliificd at wis state of the case, and it ws again ueterimined that Corvin and his wife should go to Washington. On Saturday Corbis packed up aud stdted that ue would telegraph that he would preak- fast ut the Waite ftouse the following morning. Fisk stated that this was the last he saw of Corvin. ‘The committee then asked the question whether he Knew that any of tue government officers were lnplicated. isk replied that what he had stated Was ail he knew, and that he could not auswer any more definitely. in regard to #utterfield he stated wnat he bad understood wnat that oficer admitted that he was in sume speculaiious, He thought tue Whole diificulty arose out of the policy pursued tu Washington. “He then asked tne coumitiee to ex- amine Corbin, Mra, Corota, Mra. Grant and Vollard, Fisk's secretary. ‘To this the Committee replied that tuey Were conuucting tae examination aad did not need any suggestions, Fisk staiea he was in direct communicauon with Buctertielu, and messengers were continually golug and coming until the crasa came. When the fatal despatch was received but- terficid was mot to be ound for some time. When found and interrogated he pointed to a wan near by reading wae despaiwh of the Secretary.
