Tae Suorrest axp Best Way.—The
‘ern States to their places in the Union,
compeuitip with the safety ef the country,
is the way. This uo“ one will deny,
and ifthe plan adopted by Congress is better
calculated ‘to secure these ende, then it
try. The ingenious address of the Philadelphia Convention; and the speech of the
President, im which he reiterates the charges
made in tis’ épeech on the 22d, against Con‘Bross, evade the real issue between that
body and the President. The Constitution.
al Amendments aré entirely. ignored, and
‘except the general assertion_of oppomtion
to any amendment until the Southern States
ure represented, not the slightest allusion
has been made. to these ainendments upon
which Congress comes before the people.
They constitute the platform of Congress,
and the simple question presented is, whether they should be adopted by the States or
rejected. ;The issue is plainly stated, and
he that “rans may read,” and comprehend.
The plan of the President ig on the contrary Very difficult to anderstand, and be and .
hia friends have been led into innutnerable
thickets in their efforts to clear away the
fog in which *‘my policy” involves them.
The Presiient, after. totally ignoring the
rights, which be now claime for the rebel
States by appointing officers without war' Fant by the Constitution ; assuming legis‘fative authority, and making laws for their
government after they had laid down their
arms, now claims that Congress, the only
branch of the Government clothed with
legislative authority, has no right to make
laws for the regulation of affuirs in the
Southern States. Congress is declared an
illegal body because the, Representatives
were chosen vnly by the people of one section, By the same argument, if it is sound,
' Johnsda might be deprive of his seat as
President, for certainly the Southern States
had no more todo with his election than
they-bad in taming Congressmen. Every
time the President or. his friends reiterate
this charge, they strike at Johnson as well
as at Congress. In the early part of his
administtation, Johnsen told the people of
. the South, as did Lincoln, that their-State
constitutions must be brought to Congress
fut approval, He now claims that Congress bus nothing‘to do with the matter.—
Again, by signing the joint resulution of
Congréss admitting the Representatives of
Tennessee to seats, Johnson virtually indorsed the pulicy of Congress. These actions aud declarations of the President's
party do not speak well for their consistency. The results of the» President's course
show that. instead of recunstructing the
rebel States he has increased the obstacles
in the way of reconstruction. By reatoring
uorepentant rebels to power he hus made
treason, which was well nigh crushed at the
6nd of the war, strong and defiant, and the
rebel leaders, instead of. being -supplicants
for pardon. are beginving to dictate terms
te loyal men. Loyalty bas been trampled
urider fwot in the South, and ‘the friends of
the Unieu are compelled to go to the North
for the.purpose of hulding a Cvaventioa, to
escspe violence at the hands of the rebel.
ligus frievds vf Johasen’s pilav at hame.—
The murder of loyal men at New Orleans
isenough to damn the President's poliey in
the eyes of all true men. The President's
foad to. reconstructiun ‘is a lung one, and it
will be reddened by the bleod efmen who
dare to stand up fur their rights in the
Seuth, Ou. the: other hand, .the pian of
Congress conteniplates keeping treasonable
ite of the South out of power uatil they
cad be safely trusted, and giving the cuntrol
vt theee States to loyal men. It proposes
tw equalize representation throughout the
lag. “In, fine, it is set forth in the proposed Amendments, which if adopted, will
make it 4'part of the fuiidumental law, not
subject to be overthrown al every recurring
elvetiog, , It may be adopted, and the rrbel
States may be restored under it before the
day, of March nest, while Juhneants Furth d t
plan will on comp heate the difficulties
the South. The true friends of the Sou
add 'the Noith will stand by ‘the pian
Congress, The. proposed. Amendments are

The votes cast ia Sierra couttty last election-were 2,426..Only.1,400 were earolied

robbery in Stockton, by a watchman, on
‘the night of the 18th of August..Gen.

Goop Pay.—The Whigham ledge is
yielding some excellent reck which is being
worked at the French mill, and is paying
between $130 and $150 per ton.’ The mill
is crudhing from five to seven tons a day.’
Lost.—A memorandum book containing
papers valuable only to the owner, was lost
between this city and Grass Valley. The
finder will confer a favor and be suitably rewardéd, on leaving on sending the bovk to
this office. See advertisement in to-day's
paper.
A Boquet.—We are indebted to Mrs.
Curtis for eplendid boquet of flowers, gathered from her garden at Gold Flat. They
are quite a rarity at this season of the
year.
Tue SUPERVisoxs.—The Board of Supervisors completed their work yesterday
and adjourned forthe térm. They will meet

to canvas the teturns.
-Pawmary Meerincs.—The Union men

‘SPUE repairs on the Suspension bridge
are about completed, and the bridge will be
open for teams to-day.
THE coffin which inclosed the remains
of Gustave III, of Stockhulm. has been so
corroded by time as to render its reparation necéssary. It was therefore opened,
and the authorities were astonished to find
the head and face of the ancient sovereign
in & perfect state of preservation, while the
rest of the body was completely decomthe 16th of March, 1792.

CoNSISTENT.—The rebels of Missouri,
disfranchised by State law, have appealed
to the President to protect them and he has.
promised todoso. He can find warrant
tur military interferance to protect rebels
in Missouri, which never seceded, but it is
“unconstitutional, te protect loyalty in
Lovwisiana, whieh ‘Wid Sécede. Hew cunsistent ‘‘my policy” is.
Tne President bas decided to make a
“clean sweep" of Radicals from office —
This raid may properly be designated as
the charge af the ‘Bread & Butter Brigade.»
This promwe of Jubnson’s was made to
Philadelphia delegates whe are “out of
meat” P
JOUNSON says he is delighted With t
Philudetphia Convention. We dvn’t doubt
it, says the Fing, aud more, we believe that
if he could have heard cheers for Lee,
Stonewall Jackson and Vallandighbam in
Washington, fifteen minutes after the assasgination of Lineoln, bis eécret heart
would have bounded with joy.
