RECONSTRUCTION AT TIE NoRrn.-While
from the total Reorganization which the re-
belion has brought upon tho South, society
must be reconstructed upon better and more
enduring basis. commencing from the found
alton and rebuilding moro perfect structure,
we at the North should not let the opportu.
nifty slip OF improving upon our condition
and profting by our experience. We would
like to see our politics assume what VIC con-
ccive better phraso-lcss animosty between
individuals holding different opinions, and
more faith and credit to the good intentions
Of party. We do not expect or desire that
those holding opinions Of right should be
less earnest in presenting or enforcing them
but VIC can greatly improve our discussions in
many respects. While wo present the sug-
ges,on to othcrs, we equally remind ourselves
Let us live up to the fact that slavery and
the evils growing out OF the system shall
die, and shall no more disturb our politics,
and then, untramellcd, we can devote our en-
ergios to make our government the strongest
us it is tho best, Of oil governments the sun
shines on. And the situation OF the coun-
try now, more than in state Of war, re-
quires the highest patriotism and statesman
ship to properly support and direct.

years ago this very month, Mrs. Grant lived
In her quiet homo in Galcna. Her husband

modest. reliable man, without much appar.

any way. The war had commenced. The

away ut Sumter, and shot out of rebel can.
non at Memphis. One morning Mr.. Grant
called on Congressman Washburne, who re-
sides in Galena. He told Mr.. w. that he
did not feel right, that ho could not sleep
nichts-that he felt that no was not doing
his duty. Washburne asked him what was
the matter. Mr.. Grant replied, I'll am doing
nothing for my country. have been edn-
Gated a, the nations expense but here am
at home doing nothing. don't know what
to do. am no politician. | don't seem to
be wanted any where. yet feel as IL I was
fit for something IL could only find my
place." Mr.. Washburne invited his neigh
Dor to accompany him to Springfield, where
an Important consultation was to be held at
the request Of Gov. Yates. On tho morning
of the fourth day Mr.. Grant called at Mr..
Washburne's rooms. and said to him, "NO.
body knows me here-thero is nothing for
me to dol am going home." "IIold on u
day longer" said Washburne. The next
day an important discussion was held in the
council chamber. At Mr. Washburne's TO.
quest Mr.. Grant was called in. He held an
interview with the State authorities for thir.
ty minutes, and then went out. As the door
closed. Gov. Yates cried out, "Good God,
Washburne, who is this man? / have learnt
moro about troops in these thirty minutes
than ever knew in oil my life. All can
do for him now is to put him on my staff.
You 90 homo and raise regiment and I'll

Among the rebels now suing for pardon
are said to be Gen. Il. Z, Lee and A. II. Ste
phens. Vice President of the Southern Con-
icderacy. 1t is said that Stephens petition
to the President occupies seventy pages. He
regrets ever having been connected with the
Confcderacy. and points to the position TAX
en- by the New York Tribuas ut the CON-
meucement OF tho war, as an excuse Tor his
own course. Tho Tribune acknowledged tho
right Of the South to Secede and advocated
letting the rebels 60; and Stephens, not
without some force Of argument, shields HIM
self behind the course taken BY the leading
Administration journal Of the country.

some weeks since Gen. Leo wrote the Secre-
tary Of War that IL he would give him bis
Arlington estate he would come back here to
