OChACNNA NAAA VII
General Banks is reported to have ex-
pressed his views on reconstruction as fol-
lows, in a recent speech:
In speaking of the guarantees which
should be required of the rebel States,
General Banks said they should not be
paper guarantees, such as oaths of allie
glance, proclamations aud resolutions !;
but practical guarantees, growing out of
the nature of things, and reforming the
political conditions of their society. First,
as to the admission Of States, the conse-
9uences were too grave to receive all of
them at one time. The border States
might be admitted first, and the others al
lowed to follow when disposed to conform
to the required conditions. 1t was the du-
ty of the government to secure the politi-
cal control of the rebel States to the loyal
people, no matter how small that element
might he. Suffrage should be given with
out delay to the colored men in those
States and elsewhere. This was a ques-
could not long be denied by the South,
dependent as they must be on the labor of
four millions of freedmen. While he
would not admit the rebel States without
their bestowal of this privilege, he would
not admit them solely because they might
grant it, because it alone was not enough
to guarantee safety. To make it valuable
to the freedmen it must be accompanied
by other measures. Another guarantee to
be required was the exclusion of paroled
prisoners from all political rights until by
the personal investigation of the Presi-
dent in each case it should be found that
they could be trusted. Preparations
should also be made to extinguish the ma
tional debt, and to this end a constitutional
amendment should be adopted, giving
power to lay a duty on Southern exports,
the revenue to be applied solely to the
payment of the debt.

Killed his own Hens.

Old Col. Higgins owned a flock of h9ns,
which he was very careful to keep shut up
during the plating season, and his wife
would let them out occasionly to enjoy
= themselves in the garden. The Colonel
seeing them in the garden one day, sup
posed, of course, they belonged to his
neighbor; and greatly enraged at the des-
truction- OF, his property, he seized his old
musket and bIazed away at them, and sent
a lad with the dead chickens to his neigh
boris house, with a message couched in
language rather more forcible than polite.
The next day the operation was repeated,
and SO on for several days, and the Colo-
mel was greatly astonished at his neigh
bors Silence and good nature, as he never
sent back any more thanvery polite thanks
for the agift," as he expressed it. Well, it
so happened that the Colonel went to look
after his hens one day and found very few
in the pen. After looking and wondering
for awhile, the reason, for his n%eighbor's
good nature dawned upon him, andh he was
heard to say; 2T g~7FrNfyTT Z
81 have been killing my own hens, and
that old rascal has eaten them allp' M
The old fellow never heard the last of
those hens, and wascnever known to shoot
another.

The spot ON the Sum.

[London Correspondence Chicago Tribune.l
Very important in connection with the
blight which the dry burning September
has cast upon man and beast, may be the
big spot on the sun, now visible to the
naked eye at sunset, which had, on Sep
TENDER 18th, a black nucleus 5000 miles
in length, and apenumbra of $4,000 miles,
and which between September 18th and
October I'd, according to the Rev. Astron-
omer, w. R. Dawes, rotated on its centre
80 degrees. Sir Frederick Brodie, F. r.
A. S., writes that during the great mag
netic storm which occurred during the
laying down of the Atlantic telegraph
cable IA very remarkable group of spots
broke out in the suns photosphere, and
the termination of this storm about coin
cided with the disappearance of this group
from the suns disc. 1t is well known that
the disturbances on the sun are intimately
connected with the magnetic forces on the
earth. On this occasion the group con-
sisted of about fourteen spots or umbra,
all included in one %penumbra; the great
est length of this penumbra was rather
more than so, 900 miles"

The Mississfppi senators.

We are sorry for the sake of Mississippi
that her Legislature neutralized whatever
good impression they may have produced
at the North by electing Governor Sharkey
to the United States Senate, by choosing
Us, Aleorn as his colleague. If the sim
lie we're not worn out, we should liken
Governor Sharkey to the living man
chained to the dead corpse, of which Taci-
tus tells us-but we forbear. The only
thing that this new-hedged Senator has
done to secure him 1eminence was to COM
mand a brigade in the rebel army, and the
only political opinion which has given
him prominence is his opposition to negro
testimony in the courts. The action of the
legislature in eleeting him, shows its dis
position, and proves that THAR choice
of Sharkey was rather the result of his
personal popularity than an endorsement
of his position. on the subject of negro tes-
timonS. With such a companion even
Williem S. Sharkey will find it no easy
matter to pass the doors of the United
States Senate. %. 77iH'nN 10 d#.l a' p

elected by a popular vote. Colonel Orr,
like Provisional Governor Perry, halls
from the upland portion of the State, and
did good service against Secession in
1881. He was a moderate in 1850, but
finally yielded to the current. Born in
1902, he was first chosen to the State Leg
i%slature in 1874, to Congress in ls4S, and
in 1857 was elected -Speaker-the last
ever elevated to that post by the Demo
cratic vote. Colonel Orr is an able, fair
minded man, and we trust) will honestly
labor to restore peace and prosperity to
our whole country.

The Virginia Congressional Election.
The latest returns from the Virginia
election, as reported in the New York
papers, confirm the predictions of the
LEADER of Saturday in regard to the sue
cesful candidates. In the 10th District, in
which reports have been received from all
the, counties except Fluvanna, Ridgeway's
majority is 1925. In the LIST District,
William H. B. GUSTS of Aecomac is re-
ported to have a large majo' lty. In the
lid District, Chandler was, according to
the latest accounts, 534 ahead of Millson,
and is said to have been elected beyond a
doubt. In the With District, in which five
counties are not yet reported, Stuart's ma
iority is thus far l,757. The With Dis
.trict, in (which Fairfax, Fauquier and War
rem still remain to be heard from, gives
Conrad a majority SO far of 1900. The
result in the With District is still in
doubt. The six counties from which off
cial majorities have been received give DR..
StovalI 81 majority; but of the two coun-
ties not fully heard from, Patrick is report
ed to have given a majority for Davis,
who may yet be elected. Gusts, Chand-
Ter and Ridgeway can take the Congress
sional oath; Conrad cannot, and Davis is
likely to be in the same condition, as he is
Il Southern Methodist minister. Altogether
it seems now to be certain that Virginia
sends to Congress five members who can,
and three who cannot, take the oath.

Charles Reade's Drama of Never too
Late to Mend" is not as popular as his
novel of that name. At the Princess
Theatre in London, it received most en-
phatic denunciation. The Tribune's cor
respondent thus gives the history of the
play and a description of the scene on its
first presentation
"The history of the play is curious. 1t

ago, at Drury Lane, under the name of
"Gold," then turned into a novel, then re-

dull and in~offensive; the second imperiled
the whole piece. The scene was simply Il

couldn't stand it. They Missed and groan-

Milo Boswerth, also of Cleveland is build
ing another across to the Shaffer Farm on
the Oil Creek railroad, which will soon be
completed. Three lines ofrailwayto Pithole
are building or projected. The first is from
the mouth of the creek to the city, most of
the way graded, and ties and rails going
down. In a few weeks trains will run
from Oleopolis to Pithole, and the road
will be continued to Oil City-next season.
A railway to Titusville is not only pro-
iected, but preliminary steps have been
taken to put the work through.
A third line is to connect Pitbole and
Reno, Mr.. Culver's new town on the AL

the enterprise, and the road will be built
by Gen. Burnside. Some three hundred
men have begun work on the route, and
