COLUMBUS MOM 1 ADDKESN or the National Union Committee, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Fkllow-CitizSns : Very grate differ ' enoes hating arisen between your immedi ate RnpreseDtatWei in Congress and the President who owes his position to' your voles, we are compelled to ask your alien ' lion thereto, and to suggest the duties to your country which they render imperative We shall avoid the use of hard words Of these, there hate already been too many And, that the matters in- issne may be brought in the narrowest compass, let us first elimiuate from the controversy all that has already been been settled or has never been in dispute. The liepublio baa been desperately as- ' sailed from within, and its very existence seriously imperiled. Thirteen States were 'claimed as having withdrawn from the Union, and were represented for years in a . hostile Congress meeting at Richmond. Ten of these States were, for a time, wholly in the power of a hostile confederacy;; the other three partially go. The undoubtedly loyal 8tates were repeatedly and formidably ' invaded by Kebel armies, wmcn were only expelled after obstinate and bloody battles. Through four years of arduous, desperate - civil strife, the hosts of the Rebel Confede racy withstood those of the Union. Agents of that Confederacy traversed the civilized world, seeking allies in their war against the Republic, and inciting the rapaoious and unprincipled to fit out armed corsairs to prey upon her commerce. By State authority, and in the perverted names of pat riotism and loyalty, hundreds of thousands of our countrymen were conscripted into Rebel armies and made to fight desperately " for our national disruption and ruin. And though, by the blessing of God and j the valor and constancy of our loyat people; the Rebellion was finally and utterly crushed, it did cot suooumb until it had caused ' the destrnction of more than Half a Million of preoious human lives, not to speak of property to the value of at least Five .Billions of Dollars. ' . At length, the Rebel armies surrendered aud the Rebel power utterly collapsed and vanished. What then? The claim of the insurgents that they either now reacquired or had never forfeited their constitutional rights in the . Union, inoluding that of representation in Congress, stands in pointed antagonism alike to the requirements of Congress and to those of the acting President. It was the Executive alone who, after the Rebellion was no more, appointed Provisional : Governor for the now submissive, unarmed - Southern States, on the assumption that the Rebellion had been "revolutionary," and !' h J ilo tt varl tha nannla nnftav lie awav nff r-. . - wv - . j all oivil government, and who required the assembling of ''a Convention, composed of delegates to be chosen by that portion of the people of said 8tate who are loyal to the United States, and no other; for the pvrrpose of altering and amending the Constitution of said State." ' It was President Johnson who, so late as October last when ' all shadow of overt resistance to the Union una long BiQDQ uiBBtipowrvu lnBiBioo. that it was not enough that a State ,which had revolted must recognize her Ordinance of Seoession as null and void from - the beginning, and ratify the Constitutional Amendment prohibiting Slavery evermore, but she muBt also repudiate "every dollar of indebtedness created to aid in carrying on the Rebellion." It was he who ordered the dispersion by military force of any legislature chosen under the Rebellion which should assume power to make laws after that rebellion had , fallen. It was he who referred to Uongress all inquiries as to the probability of Repre- ikn Oi.,.. latalv in vnwnlr. being admitted to seats in either House, and suggested that they should present their credentials, not at the organization of Congress, but afterward. And finally, it was he, and not Congress, who suggested to iiis Gov. Sharkey of Mississippi, that "If you conld extend the elective franchise to all persons of oolor who can read the Constitution of the United States in English and write their names, and to all persons of color who own real estate valued at not less than 250 and pay taxes thereon, vou would completely disarm the ad versary, and set an example that other States will follow." If, then, there be any controversy as to the right of the loyal States to exaot conditions and requiro guarantees of those which plunged madly into Secession and Rebellion, the supporters respectively of Andrew Johnson and of Congress oannot be antagonistic parties to that contest, since their record places them on the same side. It being thus agreed that conditions of restoration and guaranties against future ' rebellion may be exacted of the Blates lately in revolt, the right of Congress to a voice in prescribing those conditions and in shap ing those guarantees is plainly incontestable. Whether it take the Bhape of law or of constitutional amendment, the action of Congress is vital, isven u iney were to db settled by treaty, the ratification of the Senate, by a two-thirds vote, would be indispensable. There is nothing in the Federal ! .. S Ik. nnliira f.f Ilia MfLOA that countenances an Executive monopoly ' f this rmwar ' What, then, is the ground of complaint against Congress? . It is obareed that the action of the two Houses was tardy and hesitating? Con- aider how momentous were the questions in volved. the issues depending. Consider how novel and extraordinary was the situation - Consider how utterly silent and blank is the Federal Constitution touching the treat ment of insurgent States, whether during their flagrant hostility to the Union or after thai ' d aeomfltnre. Consider with now ..J diffianiriaa ' ... . , . problem is beset, and you will not wonder that months were required to devise, per-fant. and nass, by a two-thirds vote in either House, a just and safe plan of recgn atmstion. Tet that plan has been matured. It has passed the Senate by 33 to 11, and the House by 138 to 36. It is now fairly be fore the oountry, having already been ratified by the Legislatures of several States and rejeoted by none. Under it the State of Tennessee has been formally restored to all the privileges she forfeited by Rebellion, including representation in either House of Congress. And the door thus passed ' Ihrough stands invitingly open to all who still linger without, Are the conditions thus prescribed in tolerable, or even humiliating? They are in substance these L That all persons bom or naturalized in this oountry are henoeforth citizens of the United States, and shall enjoy all the rights of citizens evermore; and no State ' shall have power to Aontraveae this most richteoas and neotssary provision. IL While the States olaim and exercise the power of denying the eleotive franchise to a part of their people, the weight of each State in the Union shall be measured by and based upon its enfranchised population. If any State shall choose, for no crime, to deny political rights to any race or caste, it must no longer oount that race or caste as a basis of political power in the Union. III. He who has onoe held office on the strength of bis solemn oath to support the Federal Constitution, and has nevertheless foresworn himself and treasonably plotted to subvert that Constitution, shall hence forth hold no political office till Congress, by a two-thirds vote, shall remove or modify tha disability, IV. The National Debt shall be nowise repudiated .nor invalidated ; and no debt incurred in support of the rebellion shall ever be assumed or paid by any State ; bor shall payment be made for the loss' or emancipation of any slave. j V. Congress shall have power to enfooroe these guarantees by appropriate legislation' Such, Fellow-Citizens, are the conditions. of reconstruction proposed by Congress and already accepted by the loyal Legislature of Tennessee. Are they harsh or degrading? Do you discern therein a disposition to trample on the prostrate or push an advan tage to the uttermost? Do they -embody aught of vengeance, or any confiscation but that of Slavery? We solicit your eandid, impartial judgment. ' j What is intended by the third aeotiou is simply to give Loyalty a fair start in the reconstructed States. Under the Johnson polioy, the rebels monopolize power and place even in communities where they are deoidedly outnumbered. Their . General! are Governors and Members elect of Congress; their Colonels and Majors fill -the' Legislatures, and officiate as Sheriffs. Not only are the steadfastly loyal proscribed, but even stay-at-home rebels have little ohance in competition with those who fought subvert the Union. When this rebel monopoly of office shall have been broken np, and loyalty to the Union shall have become general and hearty, Congress may re move the disability, and will doubtless make haste-to do so. ' " V'' We do not perceive that the justioe or fit ness of the fourth section prescribing that the Union Publio Debt shall be promptly met, but of the Rebel Confederacy never is seriously contested. There remains-, then, but the second sec tion, which prescribes -in snbstanoe that politioal power in the Union shall hence-forth be based only on that portion of the people of. each Slate who are deemed by its constitution fit depositories of such power. In other words: A State which ohooses to hold part of its population' in ignoranoe and vassalage powerless, uneducated, unfranchised shall not oount that: portion balance the educated, intelligent en franchised citizens of other States. . - We do not purpose to argue the justice of this provision.. As well argue the shape of a cube or the correctness of the Multiplication Table. He who does not feel that this is simply and mildly just, would np be per-1 sunded though one rose from the dead: to eonvince hint That there Tef those among ns who would not have it ratified', sadly demonstrates that the good work of Emancipation is not yet complete. ,; j j j "But," say some, "this section is designed to coerce the South into 'according Suffrage to her Blaoks." Not so, we reply; but oaly to notify her ruling caste .that we . will no longer bribe them to keep their, Blacks in serfdom. An ariatociaoy rarely surrenders its privileges, no matter how oppressive, from abstract devotion to justice and right. must have cogent, palpable- reasons for so doing. We say, therefore, to South Carolina, "If you persistently restriot all: power to your 300,000 Whites, we must insist that these no longer balance in Congress and the choice of President, 700,00(5 Northern White freemen, but only 800,000. If you keep your Blacks evermore in serfdom, it must not be beoause we tempted you so to do, and rewarded you for so doing' a... f , Fellow citizens Of every -State, but especially of those soon to hold'electione! we entreat your earnest, constant heed to the grave questions now at issue. If those who so wantonly plunged the Union into Civil War . shall be allowed by you to dictate the terms of Reconstruction, yon. will have heedlessly sown the bitter seeds of future rebellions, and bloody, strife. Al ready you are threatened with a recognition by the President of a sham. Congress, made np of the factions which recently ooaleeoed at Philadelphia -on a platform of Johnson ism a ' Congress constituted . by nullifying and overriding- plain law of the land a Congress wholly inspired .from the White House, and appealing; to the sword for support. So glaring an attempt at usurpation would be even more orimmal than absurd. Happily, the People, by electing an overwhelming majority of thoroughly loyal representatives,. are rendering its initiation impossible. '' ' j . , We cannot elose without a most deserved tribute to the general fidelity, wherewith, in view of .the President's defection,, the great body of the People, and even of the Federal office-holders, stand fast by their oonvictipns and their principles. The bound- V VwM most unscrupulously wielded against those lded ainst those to whose votes he ewes iti has, corrupted I very few, either of those who shared or "wf those who would gladly share in' its enjoy ment. Not one of the 22 States which voted to re-eleot Abraham" Lincoln- has given in its adhesion to the President's polioy; while New Jersey the only Free State that voted against him has added herself to their number. . . , , - Our great war has taught .impressively the peril of injustice; and the, lesson 'has sunk deep into millions..of., Jveaxts.

The Soldiers of Franklin County who served in the Uniqn; Army during the late war against rebellion are invited to as semble in Mass Convention in Columbus, Ohio, Sept, 22d, 1866, to oonsider the pro priety of organizing a Soldiers' League, to act in conjunction . with the State and County Leagues, and for the farther pur pose of making arrangements to attend the Soldiers' National Convention and Re union at Pitts! urgh, September 26tb, 1866. ' Among the objects of a Soldiers' League are the following: ' 1. The preservation of those kind and fraternaltfeelings which have bound us to gether as comrades. 2. To make these ties available in works of kindness ; in the assistance of disabled and needy soldiers; and in the mainten ance of the widows and orphans of deoeased soldiers. 8. The erection o Soldiers' Monuments, or the commemoration by other means, ! of nnr fallen comrades. t . I - To obtain from the Government aywt equalization of bounties. , : i 5. For the establishment and defense of the late soldiery of the United States, mor ally, socially and politically, with a view to inoulcate a proper appreciation of their ser vices to the country and to a recognition of such services by the American people. The recent action of the Administration in postponing the payment of bounties an der the late law, for the purpose of making political capital against Congress, admon ishes us of the necessity of organization and co-operation to secure the rights and interests of soldiers.

Correspondence Morning Journal. - Ashland, Sept. 18, 1866. Upon last Saturdav the Democracy of this county held a jubilee, with the great (?) Vallandigham for their orator. We think he was a little disappointed at his recep tion, no great orowd assembled to hear him, and applaud his heresies; on the oontrary, but a few listened, and fewer applauded. Dr. Crane introduced him as the " despised Vallandigham." He made a happy hit there, though quite unconscious of it, for we know of no more despised, forsaken wretch, a traitor, banished from his oountry, kick ed, yes, literally kicked out of the Phila delphia Convention, and shunned by all deoent. men. We never looked upon his face before, "and we hope we never shall again. There is embodied in its expres sion all that is mean, vile and contempti ble. He eat upon a platform erected lor the speakers, with his hat pulled over his eyes, and his .head down, as if he feared to look honest, men in the face. The voluble Kinney entertained the audieaoe for a few minutes with bitter' denunciations of the Radical Congress. He is Val- landigham's shadow, his pet spaniel.' The Democrats had a good time drinking bad whisky and quarreling among themselves. There will be a grand Union mass meeting upon Friday of this week. Distinguished speakers will be present, and liberty-loving Union men will stand, forth - and say, "So sure as Ged rules this nation, this shall not be." They will show by their presence that the flimsy Democratic policy is eoon to be torn to pieces. To-morrow night we are to enjoy the rare treat of hearing Gen. Garfield. ' We predict, a orowded house for a man who at all times fearlessly and boldly stood up in Congress and denounced Copperheads. - - A reunion of the soldiers of the 14th Con gressional dislriot will fie held at Seville on the 1st. Gens. Cox, Hayes, Sohenok and Garfield are advertised to be present.: rolitios is the only thing thought of. the only topio discussed, and so it will be until after the eleotions, then after we have (rain ed a great victory and fought' a great bat tle at the ballot box, we will be able to turn our attention to other things. United States Supreme Court Common Carrlera Tbelr Sight to Un it Responsibility by Special Contract hai long been tUe Sktttle'd Law 'of Engrloml, and there la no dood Reason why they Should not be Permitted to do ao- By Special Agreement the Carrier Bceames', with Reference to the Particular Transaction, an Ordinary Bailee and Private Carrier for Hire His Common Law jUabltty. The New York Manufacturing : Company, plain'iff in error, vt. The Illinoit Central Roil road Company. Error to the Cirouit Court for the Eighth Circuit and Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiff is a corpora tion created by the State of Maine, and the defendant a common carrier from Cairo to Chioago. The aotion is "on the case" for for the loss of two hundred and one bales of cotton delivered to the defendant for transportation from Cairo to Chicago on the 11th of .November, 186b. So contract is alleged by the plaintiff, but its aotion: is based bir the Common law liability of the defendant as a common carrier for hire. The general issue alone is pleaded. On the trial, proof was made of the delivery of the cotton at Cairo by the steamer Adriatic to the regular agent of the defendant's company" at that place. It was discharged by the steamer upon a barge owned by such agents, wbioh was afterward moved by them to the levee of the Railroad Company, when the cotton was Durnea at mid-day. The defendant was oharged with negligence in not properly guarding and protecting the ootton. .......... 4 The defendant set up by way of defense a special contract, alleged to have been made at Memphis for the carriage of the cotton, by which the plaintiff assumed the risk of loss by hre. In proof of this contract, the deposition of one Thomas Trout was of fered, to the effect that he made a contraot with Harris, Hunt & Co., as agents of the defendant, and signed by that firm as such agents, two copies of which were delivered. one retained by Thomas Trout & Uo- and the other sent .to the plaintiffs, of which the following is a copy : "Shipped by Thomas Trout & Son, in good order and condition, on board the good steamboat Adriatic, whereof is mster for the present voyage, now lying at Alempnis, ana bound for Cairo, being marked and num bered as below, and are to be delivered without delay in the like, good order and condition at the aforesaid port of Boston, Massachusetts, (fire and the unavoidable dangers of the river only excepted,) unto Samael Batchelder, reoeiver, or to his as signs, he or they paying fare at the rate of M 76 per bale trom Plempms to Boston, all rail from Uairo. In witness whereof, the master or clerk of said steamboat hath affirmed to four bills of lading, ' all of 'this tenor and date, one of which being accomplished the others to stand void. Y. M. C. $1201 (two hundred and one) bales of cotton. (Sigaed) Harris, Hunt S Co- Illi nois Central Railroad." ' ' s - "- : daThe plaintiff objeoted to the introduction of this evidence on the. following grounds: That it appeared that several originals were shown to be in existence,' and no foundation was laid for the introduction of secondary evidenoe of their contents; that it appeared that the copy offered was attached to the cross interrogatory and com mission by the attorneys of the defendant before it issued, and that such question and copy suggested to the witness material mat ter to which he had not been examined in chief1. The copy was admitted in evidence and exception taken. The validity of the contract, if made, waB denied upon the trial, because it appeared that Thomas Trout was a speoial agent of the plaintiff only for the purchase and shipment of the cotton, and had no authori ty to make an unusual contract exempting the defendant from its oommon law liabili ty, and that the defendant had never as sented to the terms of it, because it did not appear 'that any consideration existed to support a speoial contract releasing the defendant from its common law liability as an insurer, because the defendant had no power to contract to carry from Memphis to Boston, and as the plaintiff did not ob tain the engagement of the defendant it was not bound by the restriction: because the alleged contract was an ordinary steam boat bill of lading, and on the face of it showed that tbe parties had referenoe only to nver navigation and that the sir- nature of Harris,. Hunt $ Co. was obtained only to bind the Railroad Company upon its delivery at Uairo. Tbe plamtifi requested " the ' Court the ' instruct he jury. 1st. ir tbe jury snail believe rom the evidenoe that the ootton was de livered by the steamer Adriatic, at Cairo, according to the usual course of business in like eiroumstanoes at that place with the Illinois Central Railroad Company, then such delivery was sufficient to charge the company with its receipt for carriage. 2d. The burden of proving a speoial oontraot limiting its common law liability lies on the earner, and nothingshort oi an express stipulation by parol or in writing, oan dis - charge it from its duties wnion the law Has annexed to its employment The exemp tlon from these duties Bhould not depend spon implication or inference, founded on doubtful or eonflioting evidenee, bnt Bhould be speoified and oertam, leaving no room for controversy between tne parties, aa, The burden lies upon the carrier of prov ing tne assent of some authorised agent of the plaintiff to the terms of the speoial contraot, limiting the oommon law liability of the defendant. 4th. The burden lies upon the carrier front its oommon law liability 'or logs by fire, and without such considera tion, the contraot has no . legal validity- 6th. The mere reoeipt of the ootton for car riage, aocordini to the usual course of busi ness for the defendant, is not" a sufficient consideration to support the special con tract. 6 th. If the Jury shall find from the evidenee that there was a speoial contract between the parties, by Whioh the defend ant was released from its common law liability for lots from fire, yet the defend ant is uaoie, it it did not take the same oare to protect and seoure the cotton that a prudent man would have taken of his own property under like circumstances, and the loss resulted from the want of such care. ,The Court refused each of these instruc tions, and to such refusal exception was taken. The Court thereupon charged the jury in substance, as averred by plaintiff's counsel, let. That the authority of Thomas Trout & Son to make snch contraot was immaterial to the issue. 2d. That the assent of the owner to the terms of the oontract was also immaterial. 3d. That it is Incom petent for the carrier alone, to limit its liability without the encasement of the owner. 4th. The jury were led to infer from the whole charge that the question whether such oontraot, was made, was not for them to determine, but was to be assumed in their deliberations. By the Court Mr. Justice Field deliver ing the opinion. This is an action to re- -jover damages for the loss of two hundred and one bales of ootton. received at Mem phis, Tenn, by agents ef the Illinois Central Railroad .Company at that place for transportation, to Boston, Mass. The ootton was ehipped, on. Uie steamer Adriatio at Memphis, and was delivered to the defend ant at Cairo, in November, 1859, and, while in its possession, was destroyed by firo. The oontraot for the transportation was in the form of a bill of lading, containing a clause exempting the defendant from re sponsibility for losses by fire; and it- is upon this exemption that the defendant rests its defense. The right of a common carrier to limit bis responsibility by special contract has long been the settled law in England. It was the subject of frequent adjudication in her courts, and had there ceased to be a controverted point before the passage of the carriers Aot of 183U. In this country -it was at one time a subject of much contro versy whether any such limitation could be permitted. It was insisted that, exercising a public employment, the carrier owed duties at common law from whioh publio poli oy demanded that he ahould not be discharged even by express agreement with the owner of the goods delivered to him for transportation. This was the ground taken by Mr. Justioe Cowan, of the Supreme Court of New York, in Cole vs. Goodwin, (19 Wend., 261,) and, although what that learned Judge said on this point was mere obiter, as the question presented was not upon the effect of a special agreement, but of a general notioe, it appears to have been adopted bv a mnjority of the Court in the subsequent case of Gould vs. Hill, (2 Hill, 623). But from this dootrine that Court has since receded; and, in a recent decision, the Court of Appeals of that State has affirmed the right of the carrier to stipulate for a limitation of his responsibility, (Parsons vs. Monteatb, 13 Barb , 353; Moore vs. Evans, 14 la- oz4; Dorr vs. The New Jersey Navi gation Company, 11 N. Y., 466.) The same rule prevails in Pennsylvania; it has been asserted in Ohio and in Illinois, and, it is believed, in a majority of the other States; and in the New Jersey Steam Navigation Company vs. The Merchants' Bank, it' received the sanction of this Court, (6 How., 382; Atwood vs. Delaware Transportation Co, 9 Watts, 89, Camden and Amboy Railroad Co. vs. Baldauf, 16 Penn. St., 67; Verner vs. Sweitier, 32 Penn. St., M?: tutsmiller vs. Van Renselaer, 10 Ohio, 64; Illinois Cent. R. R. Co. vs. Morri son, 19 111., 136; The Western Trans. Co. vs. Newhall, 20 Id., 466.) Nor do we peroeive any good reason, on principle, why parties should not be permitted to contract for a limited responsibility. - The transaction concerns' them only; it involves, simply, rights of property; and the publio can hava no interest in requiring the responsibility of insurance to accompany the service of transportation in face of a special agree ment for its relinquishment. By the special agreement the carrier becomes, with referenoe to the particular transaction, an ordinary bailee and private carrier for hire. , . The law prescribes the duties and responsibilities of the common carrier. He exercises, in one sense, a public employ ment, and has duties to the public to perform. Though he may limit his services to the carriage of . particular kinds of goods, and may prescribe regulations to protect himself against imposition and fraud, and fix a rate of charges proportionate to the magnitude of tha risks he may have to encounter, he can make no discrimination between, persons, or vary his charges from their oondiuon or character, lie is bound to accept all goods offered within the course of his employment, and is liable to an aotion in case of refusal. He is ohargable for all losses exoeptsuch as may be occasioned by the act of God or tbe public enemy. He in sures against "all accidents which result from human agency; although occurring without any fault or negleot on his part, and he cannot by any mere act of his own, avoid tne TeBponsiDinty wnion tbe law imposes, lie cannot screen himself from liability by any general or special notice, nor oan he coerce the owner to yield assent to a limitation of responsibility by making exorbitant charges when suoh assent is refused. The owner of the goods may rely upon' this responsibility imposed by . the common law, whioh can only be restrioted and qualified when he expresesly stipulates for the restriction and qualification. But when Buch stipulation is made, and it does not cover losaes from negligence or misconduct, we oan perceive no just reason for refusing its recognition and enforce ment. We do not understand that the oounsel of the plaintiff in error questions fiat the law is as we have s atcd it to be. His positions are, the agents of the plain tiff at Memphis, who made the contract with the Illinois Central R. R. Company, were not authorize 1 to stipulate for any limitation of : responsibility on the part of that Company and that no consideration was given for the stipulation made. The first of these positions is answereJ by the fact that it nowhere appears that the agents disclosed that agency when contracting for the transportation of cotton. So far as the defendant could see, they were themselves the owners. The seoond position is answered by the fact that there is no evidence that a consideration was not given for the stipulation. -The Company, probably, had rates of charges proportioned to the risks they aesnmed from the nature of the goods carried, and the exception of losses by fire must necessarily nave affected the compen sation demanded. . Be this as it may, the consideration expressed was sufficient to support the entire oontract made. The ob jection urged to the introduction of the copy of the bill of lading annexed to the deposi tion of the witness, Trout, was properly overruled. The deposition was taken upon a commission, and in suoh cases the aener- al rule is mat auooieotion or a formal character, and suoh as might have been obvia ted if nrged on the examination of the witness, must be raised at such examination. or upon motion to suppress the deposition. The rule may be different in some State Courts, but this rule is more likely than any other to prevent surprise and seoure the ends of justice. There may be oases where the rule should be relaxed, as where the deposition is returned at so brief a pes riod, before the trial as to preclude a proper examination, and prevent a motion to suppress. In this case there was no occasion for any suoh relaxation of tne rule, and had the obieotion been taken before the trial I eitner at tne examination oi tne witness or I on a motion to suppress to the proof of I tne oopy without produoing tne original, or 1 showing its loss, the opposite party would I unaouoteaiy nave secured tne production I of the original, if in existence or, if it be lost or destroyed, been prepared to account for its absenoe. The judgment must be affirmed, and it is so ordered. Jx. X. Timet, Sept. dd. Thk Police and the Fbeedmen in New Obxeass.

COLUMBUS MOM 1 ADDKESN or the National Union Committee, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Fkllow-CitizSns : Very grate differ ' enoes hating arisen between your immedi ate RnpreseDtatWei in Congress and the President who owes his position to' your voles, we are compelled to ask your alien ' lion thereto, and to suggest the duties to your country which they render imperative We shall avoid the use of hard words Of these, there hate already been too many And, that the matters in- issne may be brought in the narrowest compass, let us first elimiuate from the controversy all that has already been been settled or has never been in dispute. The liepublio baa been desperately as- ' sailed from within, and its very existence seriously imperiled. Thirteen States were 'claimed as having withdrawn from the Union, and were represented for years in a . hostile Congress meeting at Richmond. Ten of these States were, for a time, wholly in the power of a hostile confederacy;; the other three partially go. The undoubtedly loyal 8tates were repeatedly and formidably ' invaded by Kebel armies, wmcn were only expelled after obstinate and bloody battles. Through four years of arduous, desperate - civil strife, the hosts of the Rebel Confede racy withstood those of the Union. Agents of that Confederacy traversed the civilized world, seeking allies in their war against the Republic, and inciting the rapaoious and unprincipled to fit out armed corsairs to prey upon her commerce. By State authority, and in the perverted names of pat riotism and loyalty, hundreds of thousands of our countrymen were conscripted into Rebel armies and made to fight desperately " for our national disruption and ruin. And though, by the blessing of God and j the valor and constancy of our loyat people; the Rebellion was finally and utterly crushed, it did cot suooumb until it had caused ' the destrnction of more than Half a Million of preoious human lives, not to speak of property to the value of at least Five .Billions of Dollars. ' . At length, the Rebel armies surrendered aud the Rebel power utterly collapsed and vanished. What then? The claim of the insurgents that they either now reacquired or had never forfeited their constitutional rights in the . Union, inoluding that of representation in Congress, stands in pointed antagonism alike to the requirements of Congress and to those of the acting President. It was the Executive alone who, after the Rebellion was no more, appointed Provisional : Governor for the now submissive, unarmed - Southern States, on the assumption that the Rebellion had been "revolutionary," and !' h J ilo tt varl tha nannla nnftav lie awav nff r-. . - wv - . j all oivil government, and who required the assembling of ''a Convention, composed of delegates to be chosen by that portion of the people of said 8tate who are loyal to the United States, and no other; for the pvrrpose of altering and amending the Constitution of said State." ' It was President Johnson who, so late as October last when ' all shadow of overt resistance to the Union una long BiQDQ uiBBtipowrvu lnBiBioo. that it was not enough that a State ,which had revolted must recognize her Ordinance of Seoession as null and void from - the beginning, and ratify the Constitutional Amendment prohibiting Slavery evermore, but she muBt also repudiate "every dollar of indebtedness created to aid in carrying on the Rebellion." It was he who ordered the dispersion by military force of any legislature chosen under the Rebellion which should assume power to make laws after that rebellion had , fallen. It was he who referred to Uongress all inquiries as to the probability of Repre- ikn Oi.,.. latalv in vnwnlr. being admitted to seats in either House, and suggested that they should present their credentials, not at the organization of Congress, but afterward. And finally, it was he, and not Congress, who suggested to iiis Gov. Sharkey of Mississippi, that "If you conld extend the elective franchise to all persons of oolor who can read the Constitution of the United States in English and write their names, and to all persons of color who own real estate valued at not less than 250 and pay taxes thereon, vou would completely disarm the ad versary, and set an example that other States will follow." If, then, there be any controversy as to the right of the loyal States to exaot conditions and requiro guarantees of those which plunged madly into Secession and Rebellion, the supporters respectively of Andrew Johnson and of Congress oannot be antagonistic parties to that contest, since their record places them on the same side. It being thus agreed that conditions of restoration and guaranties against future ' rebellion may be exacted of the Blates lately in revolt, the right of Congress to a voice in prescribing those conditions and in shap ing those guarantees is plainly incontestable. Whether it take the Bhape of law or of constitutional amendment, the action of Congress is vital, isven u iney were to db settled by treaty, the ratification of the Senate, by a two-thirds vote, would be indispensable. There is nothing in the Federal ! .. S Ik. nnliira f.f Ilia MfLOA that countenances an Executive monopoly ' f this rmwar ' What, then, is the ground of complaint against Congress? . It is obareed that the action of the two Houses was tardy and hesitating? Con- aider how momentous were the questions in volved. the issues depending. Consider how novel and extraordinary was the situation - Consider how utterly silent and blank is the Federal Constitution touching the treat ment of insurgent States, whether during their flagrant hostility to the Union or after thai ' d aeomfltnre. Consider with now ..J diffianiriaa ' ... . , . problem is beset, and you will not wonder that months were required to devise, per-fant. and nass, by a two-thirds vote in either House, a just and safe plan of recgn atmstion. Tet that plan has been matured. It has passed the Senate by 33 to 11, and the House by 138 to 36. It is now fairly be fore the oountry, having already been ratified by the Legislatures of several States and rejeoted by none. Under it the State of Tennessee has been formally restored to all the privileges she forfeited by Rebellion, including representation in either House of Congress. And the door thus passed ' Ihrough stands invitingly open to all who still linger without, Are the conditions thus prescribed in tolerable, or even humiliating? They are in substance these L That all persons bom or naturalized in this oountry are henoeforth citizens of the United States, and shall enjoy all the rights of citizens evermore; and no State ' shall have power to Aontraveae this most richteoas and neotssary provision. IL While the States olaim and exercise the power of denying the eleotive franchise to a part of their people, the weight of each State in the Union shall be measured by and based upon its enfranchised population. If any State shall choose, for no crime, to deny political rights to any race or caste, it must no longer oount that race or caste as a basis of political power in the Union. III. He who has onoe held office on the strength of bis solemn oath to support the Federal Constitution, and has nevertheless foresworn himself and treasonably plotted to subvert that Constitution, shall hence forth hold no political office till Congress, by a two-thirds vote, shall remove or modify tha disability, IV. The National Debt shall be nowise repudiated .nor invalidated ; and no debt incurred in support of the rebellion shall ever be assumed or paid by any State ; bor shall payment be made for the loss' or emancipation of any slave. j V. Congress shall have power to enfooroe these guarantees by appropriate legislation' Such, Fellow-Citizens, are the conditions. of reconstruction proposed by Congress and already accepted by the loyal Legislature of Tennessee. Are they harsh or degrading? Do you discern therein a disposition to trample on the prostrate or push an advan tage to the uttermost? Do they -embody aught of vengeance, or any confiscation but that of Slavery? We solicit your eandid, impartial judgment. ' j What is intended by the third aeotiou is simply to give Loyalty a fair start in the reconstructed States. Under the Johnson polioy, the rebels monopolize power and place even in communities where they are deoidedly outnumbered. Their . General! are Governors and Members elect of Congress; their Colonels and Majors fill -the' Legislatures, and officiate as Sheriffs. Not only are the steadfastly loyal proscribed, but even stay-at-home rebels have little ohance in competition with those who fought subvert the Union. When this rebel monopoly of office shall have been broken np, and loyalty to the Union shall have become general and hearty, Congress may re move the disability, and will doubtless make haste-to do so. ' " V'' We do not perceive that the justioe or fit ness of the fourth section prescribing that the Union Publio Debt shall be promptly met, but of the Rebel Confederacy never is seriously contested. There remains-, then, but the second sec tion, which prescribes -in snbstanoe that politioal power in the Union shall hence-forth be based only on that portion of the people of. each Slate who are deemed by its constitution fit depositories of such power. In other words: A State which ohooses to hold part of its population' in ignoranoe and vassalage powerless, uneducated, unfranchised shall not oount that: portion balance the educated, intelligent en franchised citizens of other States. . - We do not purpose to argue the justice of this provision.. As well argue the shape of a cube or the correctness of the Multiplication Table. He who does not feel that this is simply and mildly just, would np be per-1 sunded though one rose from the dead: to eonvince hint That there Tef those among ns who would not have it ratified', sadly demonstrates that the good work of Emancipation is not yet complete. ,; j j j "But," say some, "this section is designed to coerce the South into 'according Suffrage to her Blaoks." Not so, we reply; but oaly to notify her ruling caste .that we . will no longer bribe them to keep their, Blacks in serfdom. An ariatociaoy rarely surrenders its privileges, no matter how oppressive, from abstract devotion to justice and right. must have cogent, palpable- reasons for so doing. We say, therefore, to South Carolina, "If you persistently restriot all: power to your 300,000 Whites, we must insist that these no longer balance in Congress and the choice of President, 700,00(5 Northern White freemen, but only 800,000. If you keep your Blacks evermore in serfdom, it must not be beoause we tempted you so to do, and rewarded you for so doing' a... f , Fellow citizens Of every -State, but especially of those soon to hold'electione! we entreat your earnest, constant heed to the grave questions now at issue. If those who so wantonly plunged the Union into Civil War . shall be allowed by you to dictate the terms of Reconstruction, yon. will have heedlessly sown the bitter seeds of future rebellions, and bloody, strife. Al ready you are threatened with a recognition by the President of a sham. Congress, made np of the factions which recently ooaleeoed at Philadelphia -on a platform of Johnson ism a ' Congress constituted . by nullifying and overriding- plain law of the land a Congress wholly inspired .from the White House, and appealing; to the sword for support. So glaring an attempt at usurpation would be even more orimmal than absurd. Happily, the People, by electing an overwhelming majority of thoroughly loyal representatives,. are rendering its initiation impossible. '' ' j . , We cannot elose without a most deserved tribute to the general fidelity, wherewith, in view of .the President's defection,, the great body of the People, and even of the Federal office-holders, stand fast by their oonvictipns and their principles. The bound- V VwM most unscrupulously wielded against those lded ainst those to whose votes he ewes iti has, corrupted I very few, either of those who shared or "wf those who would gladly share in' its enjoy ment. Not one of the 22 States which voted to re-eleot Abraham" Lincoln- has given in its adhesion to the President's polioy; while New Jersey the only Free State that voted against him has added herself to their number. . . , , - Our great war has taught .impressively the peril of injustice; and the, lesson 'has sunk deep into millions..of., Jveaxts.

The Soldiers of Franklin County who served in the Uniqn; Army during the late war against rebellion are invited to as semble in Mass Convention in Columbus, Ohio, Sept, 22d, 1866, to oonsider the pro priety of organizing a Soldiers' League, to act in conjunction . with the State and County Leagues, and for the farther pur pose of making arrangements to attend the Soldiers' National Convention and Re union at Pitts! urgh, September 26tb, 1866. ' Among the objects of a Soldiers' League are the following: ' 1. The preservation of those kind and fraternaltfeelings which have bound us to gether as comrades. 2. To make these ties available in works of kindness ; in the assistance of disabled and needy soldiers; and in the mainten ance of the widows and orphans of deoeased soldiers. 8. The erection o Soldiers' Monuments, or the commemoration by other means, ! of nnr fallen comrades. t . I - To obtain from the Government aywt equalization of bounties. , : i 5. For the establishment and defense of the late soldiery of the United States, mor ally, socially and politically, with a view to inoulcate a proper appreciation of their ser vices to the country and to a recognition of such services by the American people. The recent action of the Administration in postponing the payment of bounties an der the late law, for the purpose of making political capital against Congress, admon ishes us of the necessity of organization and co-operation to secure the rights and interests of soldiers.

Correspondence Morning Journal. - Ashland, Sept. 18, 1866. Upon last Saturdav the Democracy of this county held a jubilee, with the great (?) Vallandigham for their orator. We think he was a little disappointed at his recep tion, no great orowd assembled to hear him, and applaud his heresies; on the oontrary, but a few listened, and fewer applauded. Dr. Crane introduced him as the " despised Vallandigham." He made a happy hit there, though quite unconscious of it, for we know of no more despised, forsaken wretch, a traitor, banished from his oountry, kick ed, yes, literally kicked out of the Phila delphia Convention, and shunned by all deoent. men. We never looked upon his face before, "and we hope we never shall again. There is embodied in its expres sion all that is mean, vile and contempti ble. He eat upon a platform erected lor the speakers, with his hat pulled over his eyes, and his .head down, as if he feared to look honest, men in the face. The voluble Kinney entertained the audieaoe for a few minutes with bitter' denunciations of the Radical Congress. He is Val- landigham's shadow, his pet spaniel.' The Democrats had a good time drinking bad whisky and quarreling among themselves. There will be a grand Union mass meeting upon Friday of this week. Distinguished speakers will be present, and liberty-loving Union men will stand, forth - and say, "So sure as Ged rules this nation, this shall not be." They will show by their presence that the flimsy Democratic policy is eoon to be torn to pieces. To-morrow night we are to enjoy the rare treat of hearing Gen. Garfield. ' We predict, a orowded house for a man who at all times fearlessly and boldly stood up in Congress and denounced Copperheads. - - A reunion of the soldiers of the 14th Con gressional dislriot will fie held at Seville on the 1st. Gens. Cox, Hayes, Sohenok and Garfield are advertised to be present.: rolitios is the only thing thought of. the only topio discussed, and so it will be until after the eleotions, then after we have (rain ed a great victory and fought' a great bat tle at the ballot box, we will be able to turn our attention to other things. United States Supreme Court Common Carrlera Tbelr Sight to Un it Responsibility by Special Contract hai long been tUe Sktttle'd Law 'of Engrloml, and there la no dood Reason why they Should not be Permitted to do ao- By Special Agreement the Carrier Bceames', with Reference to the Particular Transaction, an Ordinary Bailee and Private Carrier for Hire His Common Law jUabltty. The New York Manufacturing : Company, plain'iff in error, vt. The Illinoit Central Roil road Company. Error to the Cirouit Court for the Eighth Circuit and Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiff is a corpora tion created by the State of Maine, and the defendant a common carrier from Cairo to Chioago. The aotion is "on the case" for for the loss of two hundred and one bales of cotton delivered to the defendant for transportation from Cairo to Chicago on the 11th of .November, 186b. So contract is alleged by the plaintiff, but its aotion: is based bir the Common law liability of the defendant as a common carrier for hire. The general issue alone is pleaded. On the trial, proof was made of the delivery of the cotton at Cairo by the steamer Adriatic to the regular agent of the defendant's company" at that place. It was discharged by the steamer upon a barge owned by such agents, wbioh was afterward moved by them to the levee of the Railroad Company, when the cotton was Durnea at mid-day. The defendant was oharged with negligence in not properly guarding and protecting the ootton. .......... 4 The defendant set up by way of defense a special contract, alleged to have been made at Memphis for the carriage of the cotton, by which the plaintiff assumed the risk of loss by hre. In proof of this contract, the deposition of one Thomas Trout was of fered, to the effect that he made a contraot with Harris, Hunt & Co., as agents of the defendant, and signed by that firm as such agents, two copies of which were delivered. one retained by Thomas Trout & Uo- and the other sent .to the plaintiffs, of which the following is a copy : "Shipped by Thomas Trout & Son, in good order and condition, on board the good steamboat Adriatic, whereof is mster for the present voyage, now lying at Alempnis, ana bound for Cairo, being marked and num bered as below, and are to be delivered without delay in the like, good order and condition at the aforesaid port of Boston, Massachusetts, (fire and the unavoidable dangers of the river only excepted,) unto Samael Batchelder, reoeiver, or to his as signs, he or they paying fare at the rate of M 76 per bale trom Plempms to Boston, all rail from Uairo. In witness whereof, the master or clerk of said steamboat hath affirmed to four bills of lading, ' all of 'this tenor and date, one of which being accomplished the others to stand void. Y. M. C. $1201 (two hundred and one) bales of cotton. (Sigaed) Harris, Hunt S Co- Illi nois Central Railroad." ' ' s - "- : daThe plaintiff objeoted to the introduction of this evidence on the. following grounds: That it appeared that several originals were shown to be in existence,' and no foundation was laid for the introduction of secondary evidenoe of their contents; that it appeared that the copy offered was attached to the cross interrogatory and com mission by the attorneys of the defendant before it issued, and that such question and copy suggested to the witness material mat ter to which he had not been examined in chief1. The copy was admitted in evidence and exception taken. The validity of the contract, if made, waB denied upon the trial, because it appeared that Thomas Trout was a speoial agent of the plaintiff only for the purchase and shipment of the cotton, and had no authori ty to make an unusual contract exempting the defendant from its oommon law liabili ty, and that the defendant had never as sented to the terms of it, because it did not appear 'that any consideration existed to support a speoial contract releasing the defendant from its common law liability as an insurer, because the defendant had no power to contract to carry from Memphis to Boston, and as the plaintiff did not ob tain the engagement of the defendant it was not bound by the restriction: because the alleged contract was an ordinary steam boat bill of lading, and on the face of it showed that tbe parties had referenoe only to nver navigation and that the sir- nature of Harris,. Hunt $ Co. was obtained only to bind the Railroad Company upon its delivery at Uairo. Tbe plamtifi requested " the ' Court the ' instruct he jury. 1st. ir tbe jury snail believe rom the evidenoe that the ootton was de livered by the steamer Adriatic, at Cairo, according to the usual course of business in like eiroumstanoes at that place with the Illinois Central Railroad Company, then such delivery was sufficient to charge the company with its receipt for carriage. 2d. The burden of proving a speoial oontraot limiting its common law liability lies on the earner, and nothingshort oi an express stipulation by parol or in writing, oan dis - charge it from its duties wnion the law Has annexed to its employment The exemp tlon from these duties Bhould not depend spon implication or inference, founded on doubtful or eonflioting evidenee, bnt Bhould be speoified and oertam, leaving no room for controversy between tne parties, aa, The burden lies upon the carrier of prov ing tne assent of some authorised agent of the plaintiff to the terms of the speoial contraot, limiting the oommon law liability of the defendant. 4th. The burden lies upon the carrier front its oommon law liability 'or logs by fire, and without such considera tion, the contraot has no . legal validity- 6th. The mere reoeipt of the ootton for car riage, aocordini to the usual course of busi ness for the defendant, is not" a sufficient consideration to support the special con tract. 6 th. If the Jury shall find from the evidenee that there was a speoial contract between the parties, by Whioh the defend ant was released from its common law liability for lots from fire, yet the defend ant is uaoie, it it did not take the same oare to protect and seoure the cotton that a prudent man would have taken of his own property under like circumstances, and the loss resulted from the want of such care. ,The Court refused each of these instruc tions, and to such refusal exception was taken. The Court thereupon charged the jury in substance, as averred by plaintiff's counsel, let. That the authority of Thomas Trout & Son to make snch contraot was immaterial to the issue. 2d. That the assent of the owner to the terms of the oontract was also immaterial. 3d. That it is Incom petent for the carrier alone, to limit its liability without the encasement of the owner. 4th. The jury were led to infer from the whole charge that the question whether such oontraot, was made, was not for them to determine, but was to be assumed in their deliberations. By the Court Mr. Justice Field deliver ing the opinion. This is an action to re- -jover damages for the loss of two hundred and one bales of ootton. received at Mem phis, Tenn, by agents ef the Illinois Central Railroad .Company at that place for transportation, to Boston, Mass. The ootton was ehipped, on. Uie steamer Adriatio at Memphis, and was delivered to the defend ant at Cairo, in November, 1859, and, while in its possession, was destroyed by firo. The oontraot for the transportation was in the form of a bill of lading, containing a clause exempting the defendant from re sponsibility for losses by fire; and it- is upon this exemption that the defendant rests its defense. The right of a common carrier to limit bis responsibility by special contract has long been the settled law in England. It was the subject of frequent adjudication in her courts, and had there ceased to be a controverted point before the passage of the carriers Aot of 183U. In this country -it was at one time a subject of much contro versy whether any such limitation could be permitted. It was insisted that, exercising a public employment, the carrier owed duties at common law from whioh publio poli oy demanded that he ahould not be discharged even by express agreement with the owner of the goods delivered to him for transportation. This was the ground taken by Mr. Justioe Cowan, of the Supreme Court of New York, in Cole vs. Goodwin, (19 Wend., 261,) and, although what that learned Judge said on this point was mere obiter, as the question presented was not upon the effect of a special agreement, but of a general notioe, it appears to have been adopted bv a mnjority of the Court in the subsequent case of Gould vs. Hill, (2 Hill, 623). But from this dootrine that Court has since receded; and, in a recent decision, the Court of Appeals of that State has affirmed the right of the carrier to stipulate for a limitation of his responsibility, (Parsons vs. Monteatb, 13 Barb , 353; Moore vs. Evans, 14 la- oz4; Dorr vs. The New Jersey Navi gation Company, 11 N. Y., 466.) The same rule prevails in Pennsylvania; it has been asserted in Ohio and in Illinois, and, it is believed, in a majority of the other States; and in the New Jersey Steam Navigation Company vs. The Merchants' Bank, it' received the sanction of this Court, (6 How., 382; Atwood vs. Delaware Transportation Co, 9 Watts, 89, Camden and Amboy Railroad Co. vs. Baldauf, 16 Penn. St., 67; Verner vs. Sweitier, 32 Penn. St., M?: tutsmiller vs. Van Renselaer, 10 Ohio, 64; Illinois Cent. R. R. Co. vs. Morri son, 19 111., 136; The Western Trans. Co. vs. Newhall, 20 Id., 466.) Nor do we peroeive any good reason, on principle, why parties should not be permitted to contract for a limited responsibility. - The transaction concerns' them only; it involves, simply, rights of property; and the publio can hava no interest in requiring the responsibility of insurance to accompany the service of transportation in face of a special agree ment for its relinquishment. By the special agreement the carrier becomes, with referenoe to the particular transaction, an ordinary bailee and private carrier for hire. , . The law prescribes the duties and responsibilities of the common carrier. He exercises, in one sense, a public employ ment, and has duties to the public to perform. Though he may limit his services to the carriage of . particular kinds of goods, and may prescribe regulations to protect himself against imposition and fraud, and fix a rate of charges proportionate to the magnitude of tha risks he may have to encounter, he can make no discrimination between, persons, or vary his charges from their oondiuon or character, lie is bound to accept all goods offered within the course of his employment, and is liable to an aotion in case of refusal. He is ohargable for all losses exoeptsuch as may be occasioned by the act of God or tbe public enemy. He in sures against "all accidents which result from human agency; although occurring without any fault or negleot on his part, and he cannot by any mere act of his own, avoid tne TeBponsiDinty wnion tbe law imposes, lie cannot screen himself from liability by any general or special notice, nor oan he coerce the owner to yield assent to a limitation of responsibility by making exorbitant charges when suoh assent is refused. The owner of the goods may rely upon' this responsibility imposed by . the common law, whioh can only be restrioted and qualified when he expresesly stipulates for the restriction and qualification. But when Buch stipulation is made, and it does not cover losaes from negligence or misconduct, we oan perceive no just reason for refusing its recognition and enforce ment. We do not understand that the oounsel of the plaintiff in error questions fiat the law is as we have s atcd it to be. His positions are, the agents of the plain tiff at Memphis, who made the contract with the Illinois Central R. R. Company, were not authorize 1 to stipulate for any limitation of : responsibility on the part of that Company and that no consideration was given for the stipulation made. The first of these positions is answereJ by the fact that it nowhere appears that the agents disclosed that agency when contracting for the transportation of cotton. So far as the defendant could see, they were themselves the owners. The seoond position is answered by the fact that there is no evidence that a consideration was not given for the stipulation. -The Company, probably, had rates of charges proportioned to the risks they aesnmed from the nature of the goods carried, and the exception of losses by fire must necessarily nave affected the compen sation demanded. . Be this as it may, the consideration expressed was sufficient to support the entire oontract made. The ob jection urged to the introduction of the copy of the bill of lading annexed to the deposi tion of the witness, Trout, was properly overruled. The deposition was taken upon a commission, and in suoh cases the aener- al rule is mat auooieotion or a formal character, and suoh as might have been obvia ted if nrged on the examination of the witness, must be raised at such examination. or upon motion to suppress the deposition. The rule may be different in some State Courts, but this rule is more likely than any other to prevent surprise and seoure the ends of justice. There may be oases where the rule should be relaxed, as where the deposition is returned at so brief a pes riod, before the trial as to preclude a proper examination, and prevent a motion to suppress. In this case there was no occasion for any suoh relaxation of tne rule, and had the obieotion been taken before the trial I eitner at tne examination oi tne witness or I on a motion to suppress to the proof of I tne oopy without produoing tne original, or 1 showing its loss, the opposite party would I unaouoteaiy nave secured tne production I of the original, if in existence or, if it be lost or destroyed, been prepared to account for its absenoe. The judgment must be affirmed, and it is so ordered. Jx. X. Timet, Sept. dd. Thk Police and the Fbeedmen in New Obxeass.

She started about nine o'olock in the evening, and went about nine miles in twenty min utes, when she descended in an open field.
