It secms hard to us that the Black Unionists should have to wait indefinitely before they can vote for Fedoral or any other officers. Sugpose, now, we atrike hands and agree that they shall all vote forthwith and ever- more ! M. Stevens yesterday sought to offer a resolution reciting the fact that the President has not answered the resolution of the House of March 5, inquiring as to the number of pardons granted and the amonnt of forfeited property restored to Rebel owners, and requesting him to communicate such information at his earliest convenience, it being needed for purposes of legislation. Objection was miade, but the reso- lution will doubtless be presented and passed at the first opportunity. —_——— There is much clamor in the Copperhead journals tion, whereof the sum and substance is this: “*If tho Rebels are not allowed to vote till 1570, how cana Copperiead be chosen President in 18631 Wereally The Senate having before it yesterday the Posi- Office Appropriation bill, Mr. Trumbull offered the + No pereon exercising or performing the duties of any ofl which by law 16 required {6 be filled by of the Senate, sball, before coufirmation by the Senate, receive any salary or compensation for his services, unleas he bo com wissioned by the President to fill up a vacauey which bas, dur ing the reccss of the Senate, and since its last acjournment, Dappened by death, resiguation, of expiratios of teri.” —The amendment has no other object than to give effect to the constitutional limitationin the appointing 1t was debated, but no vote ' | | following as an amendment : { | | wasvoashed. - _ . _...iguy Mr, Stevens presented yesterday to the House the report on reconstruction which was adopted on Satur- day by the Reconstruction Committee, and which we have already printed iu full. As it embraces & reso- lution for an awendment to the Constitution, a bill to restore the States, and & Lill declaring certain Rebels ineligible to office, Mr. Stevens moved to make the three measures special orders for Tue “ay, Wednes- day and Thursday of next week. Objection being wade, the rules were suspended by 107 to 20, and the motion agreed to. Meantime, the bills and testimony | are to be printed, and a written report in favor of the | joint propositons will be presented to the House. We presume the strong vote—more than four-fifths— by which the House suspended the rulas, may be taken s an indication of its purpose to aceept the re- port of its Committee, or sowething which shall ine | clude its main features. ‘The same report, was made by Mr. Fessenden in the FENTON AND THE RAILROADS. We do not kuow that Gov. Fenton will be a candi- date for reidlection, but we trust he may be, and that he will have no serious opposition in the ranks of his own party. If he were to decline, wo should not know in which direction to look for a successor. ‘We hear that some are disposed to base an opposition to him on Railroad questions, which would be most unwise. Gov. Fenton has acted, doubtless, in obedi- ence to his convictions, and to what he reasonably Lelieves to be public opinion, On this point, for forming o correct judgment superior. He Dbas takeu no positions we are inclined to dispute. But there are considegations, broader and perhaps less ob- vious than those on which he Las acted, which cou- vince us that amore liberal policy with regard to Railroads will have to be adopted by our State. In other words, we must let those who make aud run Railroads charge higher for transportation thereon, or have a heavy load of taxation for building more Rail- roads thrown upon our people generally. 1 we are right in this conclusion, then the true poli- cy will have to be adopted, no matter who may be Governor. Let us get back to Specie Payments so so0n as may be, and it is morally certain that the true policy to be pursued with regard to our Railroads, present and prospective, will be so plain that its adoption cannot be resisted are The Express x;o‘:);ll that the Supreme Court has pronounced the Missouri Test-Oath unconstitutional. We will thauk it for the proof. Gen. Frank Blair, it tells us, refused to take the oath last Fall, because he bad fought Claib. Jackson. Certainly he did; but, as Frauk is to be the next Copperhead candidate for Governor, aud can't be clected without the Rebel vote, Le is trying hard to ringit in. Heuce bis affected scruple.

It ks folly to suppose their usual enjoy- woats at the bidding of any commission, however respectabic.” 1: And ag: 'he Tentonio population are very wrathfu! at the threat. ened deprivation of their favorite bavérage on Syitag. Many {housands of poor workmon and mechanics who are employed at their avocations during the week genoraliy spend tho Sab- buth in some of the Zartens on the outskirts of the city, drink- ager with the fraw und der kinder, and listening to the “sic in & quiet and inoffensive mannor. ‘This pleasuro is to be tal ay from them no; aud the consequent bad fecling i easily accounted for among these people, now that thers isa fiat goiie forth that there shall be no more bager on Sunday.” —You can generally tell whether a measure is right or wrong, by noting how its adversaries make war upon it. If they can afford to teil the naked truth about it, there is a fair presumption that it is faulty or mistaken. If thoy have to misrepresent it in order to oppose it with effect, you may be sure that it is essentially right. Day after day has the grogshop press of our City assailed the new Excise law a3 dictating to our people “their vietuals and drink"—as soeking to deprive them of intoxicating drinks. There is not a word of this in the law. There will be liquor enough sold in our City under the new law; and those who want, and have the wherewithal to buy it, will find it easily enough. If we have only one grogshop to & block whereon we now have a dozon, wo shall still be ablo to buy all the liquor we want, and quite as cheaply as now; since the $250 paid for a license will represent several groggeries closod, thereby enabling those who atill sell to seil far more than at present. As to Sunday sales, The World is perfectly awaro that they wore nerer legal in our City—that the new law makes no essential change with regard to them. What it does is to attempt enforcing what has always Leen the law of oar State—law which those now so clamorous for Freo Trade in Lager have nover asked the Legislature to repeal. They have tacitly admitted the justice and propriety of that law until an attempt is made to enfore when they clamor as though it had been freshly enacted. But it is utterly false that the law forhids the driuk- ing of Beer, or of any thing else, on Sunday. Every one is and will be at liberty to drink whatsoever he Gatheringsto drink in public are forbidden, and sales on Sunday; aud so they always Lave been. There are a good many Germans in our Lity who are free-thinkers or infidels, and who of course do not like that conception of Sunday which is embodied in our laws. But these generally aim to be good citi- zens; and we urge them to take a reasonable view of the matter, If they were living in Aleppo or Damas- cus, we are sure they would not undertake to unhallow the Mahomedan Sabbath as a day of special frolic and riot—of sensual indulgencd in public and boisterous merriment. Is it too much to ask them to pay like re- spect in New-York to the Christian Sunday? Nobody cares nor is authorized to inquire what they eat or drink in the privacy of their own (or each other's) homes. If they are reasonable, why should not this satisfy them ? If an issue is foreed on this point, it will be found that there are a good many Germans, as well as of others, who prefer a quiet Sabbath, such as the law of the land contemplates. We do not fear such an issue; but we do not court it. We most earnestly counsel srmans and others to obey the laws implicitly making up & square, frauk issue, if they choose, at our st State Election, in faver of their modification or We do not beli however, that they can make anything by such appeal.

And there everything rests, under lock and key, and the injunction of secresy, to this bour.” “The Speaker's ruling” on these questions hap- pensto be in exact accordance with the resolution raising that Committee, which was first reported to the caucus of Union Congressmen, held on the Satur- day before the organization of the House, by a Com- mittee of which Mr. Raymond was a member, and subsequently adopted in the House by the aid of Mr, Raymond's vote, It reads as follows: Resoleed by the Senate and House of Representative «embled, Lhat o joint commitieo of fifteen merml poisted, uine of whom sbail be wembers of the Hous ‘members of the Senate, who aball inquire into the condition o States which formed the so-called Confederate States of ‘Amcrica, and report whether they, ot any of them, are entitled 10 be represented in either honse of Congreas, with leave to ro- port at any ttme by bill or otherwise ; and, until such report “hall have bien made and finally acted on' by Congress, o member Whall be received into cither House from any of the said so-calicd Confederate Staren ; and all papers relating 10 the representation said States shall be referred to the said committee wichout debate, This was agreed to by the Honse when offered by Mr. Stevens, Dec. 4, 1 exactly in the same lan- gua, the Union caucns.

Iu its editorial on the Tenuessce question of Tuesday, April 24th, it says (note of exclamation aud all): “Mr. Latbaw, & Union member from West Virginia, yes- {orday offered ome resolutions for the action of Congre upon this subject.

The SPEAKER sustuined the point of order. Mr. Prick irquired whetber tne subject had not been recom- mitted to the Recoustruction Committee. The SFEAKER replied that it bad been, but that tiere waem motion to reconsider pending. The ¢ o8 of the admission of Tennessee was not before the Committce on Reconatruction, and therefore the resolutions were not iu order. . The Speaker, as will be seen, decided exactly the reverse of what The Times asserted editorially that he did. The Daily Globe of the same day gives the Speaker's responses, in full, to the points of order arising out of tbis question, as follows: Mr, FINCE~g] rise to a point of order.

Of course, theworld inter- prets this as a defcat of Bismark, who, it is said, has alroady deemed it most expedient to offer his resigna- tion. Tho oppositionto the Prussian project of aggrandize- ment had, of late, assumed formidable dimensions. None of the minor Governments seem to have de- fined their position as regarda the confliot to the satis- faction of Prussia, and one of the latest regorts says that Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtemberg, Baden and Hesse- Darmstadt would all, in case of war, be on the side of Austris. A still greator impression Las been made in Berlin, by the detormined aititude of the Prussian people,who, with an unparalleled unanimity, and with a boldness which has taken all Germany by surprise, deelared their opposition to a civil war and to the annexation of Schleswig-Holstein against the will of the inhabitants. % “The Peus<ian proposal for the convocation of a Ger- man Parliament is favorably reccived by many Liber- | als, without, however, diminishing their detestatio of Bismark aud their opposition to a civil war. Th bid for the good will of the Liberal party, which Bismark intended in appealing to universal suffrage— to the dismay of most of his adherents—has induced the Austrian Gorernmont to make ar important con- cession to the Liberal party of Germany. It no longer claims for the Federal Diet the exclusive right %0 decide the question of succession in the Duchies, but it proposes thint the Austrian and Prussian troops shall both be withdrawn and the peopls of Schleswig- Holstein chovse & Government by universal suffrage. As this proposition grants the chief demand of the Liberal party of Germany, and will probably obtain tha assent of tho minor Germau Governmentsand of the other Enropean Powers, it stands a good chance of success. If carried, it will be an important victory of Austrian diplomacy and a mortifying aud humili- ating defeat of Pru s THE FIRNT OF MAY, This is the day when all New-York is supposed to be turned out of house and home, memorabie day for common carriers and bad dinners, when the most amiablo of men are justified in demonstrations of do- mestic sp Overworked merchants and weary | housewives begin to long for the mountain air, and damsels who have failed towin a hasband at the opera or the fancy ball, are busy arranging their baits for o Summer's campaign by the seaside.

THE CITY MEMBEES OF THE LEG- ISLATURE. Oue lamentable fact connected with the members,as a body, who are sent to tho Senate and the Assembly from the City of New-York, is that, for various reasons, thay cannot be induced to advocate the moeas- ures caleulated to produce reform in our Municipal Government. Some of our representatives are the heads or clerks of departments whose mavagement is a disgrace to our City, sud these hoads and clerks are sent to Albanggnot to legislate for the benefit of the State, bt to wateh closely and to protect, no matter how, the interests of the departmonts in which they are emploged at largs salaries. Of course he wonld be a madmaa who should look to such persons to ad- vocate reforms thit would aweep their own gains out of existy,op, Nest we find some persous sent to Al- Hauy Wiy, 0003 to be honest—who hold themselves out to the people as friends of reform and as opposed to corruption—but yet, whon these men are ap- proached to introduce measures that wonld be pro- ductive of great good to all olasses of our citizens, they hold habk, they hesitate, and cannot be either pushed o pulled up to the advocacy of the very measures in whick their whole souls wers wrapped, ahd for the succest of which they were so blatant before their election. They ars on tho lookout for themselves. To suek representatives, it would bo idle to look for reform. And, again, we others representing the City at Albany, who, having an eye to their political advance- ment, are so afraid of offending the mighty rogues who control the packing of nominating conventions, that they disregard all their natural inclinations to- ward honesty, and sit listless and dumb, looking on without care and in silence at the schemes which out corrupt municipal officials manage Lo have passed fon the purpose of plundering our taxpayers, The City membess are (or should be) thoroughly posted iu all matters appestaining to their local government, and one would expect to Lear the Senate and Assembly chambers echoing and reéchoing to their voices as they denounce the corrupt sshemes yearly introdaced, and as they advoeate the great meastres intended to produce a radical reform; for tho better, in our municipal rule. But not so; the Lalls of the Lagis- Jature seldom echo to their voices save when they ad- | vocate the measures of the * Ring,” and endeavor to | perpetuate aud extend the rule of the foul aud mon- strous conspiracy that governs the City of New-York. It should bring the blush of sbame to’ the cheek of every honest man among us to kuow that, when the City of New-York needs protection against the officiale hoare fastened upon it, the City representativee must be passed by, and recourse must be had to the members from the country, where corruption has not yet gained a foothold. 1t was the salvation of the City of New-York the last Winter, that there were representatives seut from | the country districts who were above reproach, aad who were ever ready to protect the people of this City” against their oppressors. We cannot close this artiolo without retutning the thanks of this community to the Hon. Henry R. Low, Senator frucx Sullivan Cou: for his able, earnest and persistent efforts in the canse of reforming our Local Government. Judge Low has always stood high among his constituents as a man of honor, kon- esty and ability, and we assure him that his course i | reference to the City and County Taz-Levies, and the other measures introluced to reform our City Gov- ernment, has won the heartfelt gratitude of our good citizens, and has entitled him to the kindly regard of usall. Tho people here have felt that in bim they had a champion possessing the ability aud zeal re- quired to protect their rights, aul that Le spared neither the one nor the other is evident from the City Tax-Levy as it finally passed. Ho was ever onthe alert, ever willing to raise his voice and record hig vote to check the schemes of corruption introduced by our City Fatlers. He never held back; he was nevet reluctant in the cause of right; he needed no prompt- i but of his own nature, of his own free will, did all that lay in his power to protect the people of this City and to give them a good government. | He hos made troops of friends here by his able and | zealous conrse; and we feel that, if the majority of the Sepate had been such a8 Le, and the majority of the Assembly such as Mr. Pitts, the Governmeut of the City of New-York would have been made a model instead of a disgrace; the corrupt officials who now rule us but to ruin would have heen swept away, and | au era of capacity, honor, and honesty would have boea inangurated, to the great relief and joy of owr plundered, long-suffering tax-payers. —_— SENATOR LFNT AND THE COUNTY COURT-HOUSE. . February last, one of the Supervisors presented wrges against the Committee who are building the ew Court-House, and asked the appointment of 8 | Committee, of which he should be a member. This latter request was disregarded, and the Comumittee which was appointed was composed execlusively o! such frisndly material as to preclude the probability | of any unpleasant developments. In spite of all pre- | cautions, howevor, certain ugly facts leaked out; aad, althongh the so-called investigation closedon the 19tk of March, the Committee have as yet made no report. me of the points which the Committee could not suppress, and of which Senator Lent must have had full knowledge when he appeared as the champion o! the Court-Iouse job, are as follows: 1. That Mayor Gunther, in 1564, made a private examination of the iron contract, and communicated the facts to the Board of Supervisors, stating that | *the circumstances strongly indicate the perpetration of gross frand,” and requesting that they might be in- | vestigated. It was shown that this communication was not read in the Board nor printed in their minutes, but was referred to the Court-House Comuittee, and quietly pigeou-heled by them until it was produced {on the recent investigation. Was not this a taeit acknowledgment of the truth of the Mayor's charges ! 2, That the marble, which responsible coutractors had offered to furnish for less than $150,000, has been 50 purchiased ns to cost (thus far) about $350,000, with a large amount still to be dppplied and paid for. 3. That one of the employés receives five per o and another three per cent., on all expendituros: the earnings of these two gentlemen amounting to $36,000 for the seven months next preceding Jan. ) ! last. It was also shown that one of them had paid & Supervisor $10,000; but the object or purpose of the payment they did not trouble themselves to explain. 4. It being asserted that more materials had boen paid for than had been used in the building, the Com- mittee directed the architect to make certain nveasure- ments, in order to ascertain whether such deficiencies existed; but, afterward, refused to permit him to state the resalt of his computations—a viftual adinis- sion that such a deficiency did exist. 4 5. That the Board of Supervisors, in order to se- cure themsolves against any adverse action of the Legislature, executed a contract, under seal, biuding the County of New-York to continue the Court-House in the control of the present Superintendent until it is finally completed and fitted np. When that period will probably arrive, no one can safely prediet.
