From New York.

..---. NEW YORK, January 8.
The Posts Washington special says the
Joint Committee on Reconstruction will
meet tomorrow morning for business.
Judge Spaulding Is making radical
speech in the House to-day, in committee Of
the whole, on the subject of reconstruction.
An important resolution was offered in
the House this morning, providing that all
the public lands In the Southern States be
thrown open to actual settlers according to
the decision of the Land Commissioners.
They are now open to settlement for black
as well as white men. tIu
Edward B. Kctchum, who was sentenced
on Saturday in the Court of General Ses-
sions, to be confined in the State Prison for
four years and six months, was taken yes
terday from the Tombs to Sing-Sing Prison

companied from the City Prison by his
father and one of his brothers.

Hudson street, Jersey City, well supplied
with arms and stocked with munitions of
war, and is supposed to be Fenian arsenal.

rS-DR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PuLs

E%-DR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER Pulls
are constantly becoming more and more
popular. They are acknowledged to have
no rival in the cure of such diseases as
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Fever of all
kinds, Jaundice, COstiveness, Pain in the
Stomach, Side, Head, Back, and Bowels,
Bilious Complaints, Loss OF Appetite, Sick
Headache, Scroftlla, Scald Head, Rheuma-
tism, Collie, Pleurisy, Pimples and Sores on
the Skin, Palpitation of the Heart, Lowness
of Spirits, Pain or Weakness of the Breast,
Diseases of Spine and Ksdneys, Sore Eyes,
Diarrhea or Dysentery, Cold, etc.
Most of the above-named diseases may be
prevented by taking DIR. Morris VEGE-
TABLE LIVER PILLS in season, or when the
liver becomes first deranged, which carry
off, through the bowles and the secretions
of the skin and kidneys, those poisonous
humors that clog the stomach, bowels, and
skin, and become accumulated in the blood.
There has been as great q progress In sci
ence, and especially in that of medicine,
within the past few years, as there has in
the arts. To such perfection have they
brought this science, that the medicinal
properties are condensed and concentrated
into the resins or salts of the plant, which
they extract from it, and leave the inert or
woody matter. The old mode of extracting
these medicinal properties-by boiling for
n long time in water-is found, III most
eases, to render the medicinal qualities
wholly inert, or even decomposing them.
DIR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS are
composed of chemical vegetable extracts,
mostly from plants growing in our own
country some Of these plants have direct
action on the liver, others upon the skin,
others on the kidneys, and others upon the
bowels and lungs. 1t is by a peculiar
chemical combination of all these extracts
that these Pills are made, possessing the
most extraordinary efficacy for curing the
above-named diseases. g..

NEW ORLEANS, January D.
The Times Brownsville correspondent
says that on the Both General II. Clay Craw-
ford arrived at Brownsville with the ap-
pOintment OF General in the Mexican Re
publican Army, and authority to recruit an
American division for Republican service
under his command.
Crawford established recruiting Office
at Brownsville and other places in Texas,
and enlistment is already progressing rap
idly.
Il is reported that Generals Lew Wallace
and Logan are connected with the move
ment, and are soon expected. Caravajal,
the famous Mexican tillibuster, is also eX-
pected with large sum of money to assist
In defraying expenses.
The Imperiallsts In Matamoras are having
considerable trouble.
General Mejia commenced barrcading
the streets, fearing an attack from Craw-
forl's American division at any time.
1t is thought Crawford will Join Escobedo
aud move on Montery, establishing their
base at that point. f.

milton, consigned to purveyor at the
Headquarters Twenty-fifth Army Corps,

Mejia has levied loan of 100000 on the
merchants of Matamoras.
The military railroad from Brazos is
completed 10 White Rancho. Travel from
Brownsville to Brazos is now only four
hours. .r.Hf. .r#F-
Later news says that American families
are leaving Matamoras and coming TO the
American side, fearing an attack from the
Liberal forces, numbering about 2 400, scat
tered along the river.

The Chicago Times, referring to that por-
ton of the message of Governor Fenton, of
New York, in which he prescrlbes rules for
the treatment of our misguided country
mem of the South, eharacterizes it as lone
Ofthe finest two-horse specimens of polite
al equestrianship exhibited in long time.
Itmeans anything and it means nothing. 1t
cah be interpreted as the strongest possible
argument in favor of the radicals; and it is
equally conclusive on the side of conserva-

Down on our Governor.

Are there no brave "Provoke" Marshals
in or about GAINESVILLE and Cleveland, to stop
the ''disloyaln utterances against our patri-
otic Governor? Just hear them, and at the
same time bear in mind that the Courier and
Leader are of the strictest Republican
shoddy sect. The GAINESVILLE Courier says +,
"we confess TO great disappointment in
the Governors Message. We had been led
to the belief that he was a man of culture
and caliber. In style his Message is a So
phomoric production, that would do no
credit to a school boy just entering his
teens. He attempts the hippancy of Car
lyle, with none of Carlyle's sense or wit. In
tone and spirit, 1t is disgustingly pompous
and presumptuous. In matter, it Is common
place, often puerile, and in some instances,
false. There are butvery few ideas, and no
sentences in the whole Message, worthy of
the Governor Of the great State of Ohio.
The only reason we eau discover for its
covering so much paper is its extreme
fdtRess. On the whole, we regard the doc
ument as one of the, most ill-timed and
undignified Messages ever presented to the
Legislature of our State"
The Cleveland Leader is quite as abusive
1t says: 'rW
'SThe message is copious enough to sat
tSfy the most VOraclOuS appetite for Official
literature. 1t is exhausting, If not exhaust
i've. Itcovers forty duodecino pages, while
twenty would have been infinitely better.
The verbose style of the Governor is actu-
ally oppressive, and suffers much in COM
parison with the calm, dignifed utterances
of his predecessor. A vein of egotism per-
vades the entire document, and Is especially
noticeable in the lengthy report of the eX-
pulsion of Doctor Dorsey from the State
Treasury, in which Charles Anderson fig
ures as the most sagacious of men! We do
not object to the policy pursued by Cover
nor Anderson in that matter; on the con-.
trary, think it eminently proper; but he
has devoted too much space to it in his mes
sage, especially when it is remembered
that the question of Doctor Dorsey's Grim
inality is yet to be determined in the Courts.
"Viewed rs a literary production, the
message falls far below what might reason
ably have been expected from one whom
the people had learned to hold in high es-
TEEN as popular orator. Some passages
are not only unworthy place in State
paper, but are absolutely inadmissible in
any composition"
This is monstrousl Why, good many
men were hung or banished during the
last five years for much less plain express
sions of the truth.

addition to his list of Humphreys Specific

and convenient. An extended advertise

THE holiday season is over; and the an
ticipations Of many people, OF an insurrec-
ton amoug the Southern blacks, have not
been realized. That these anticipations did
not become facts, is owing, perha, less tops
the hopes of the radical friends Of the
freedmen in the North, and to the d0ires
Of the freedmen themselves, than TO other
causes. Among these causes are the pres
ence of Federal troops in the South, and the
imposstbility of the freedmens uniting for
combined effort. ..,....t

COMPOUND INTEREST NorEs.--As every
body may not know whats compound inter
est note is, and as a good many of these
notes are in the hands of individuals, we
copy. the following description for the
benefit of "whom it may concern"
1t is note having three years to run, as
they say, or payable at the end of three
years, on which no interest whatever is paid
until the principal becomes due, but on
which the accruing interest is compounded
every six months. 1t is legal tender for
the principal only. A ten-dollar note,
therefore, is worth at maturity, by com
pounding the interest, about eleven dollars
and ninety five cents, or nearly twelve dol
lars. The holder is entitled to present at
the Treasury, and to receive in lawful
money, in round numbers, twelve dollars.
BY the law, as itnow stands the note is at
no period TO be a legal tender for more than
ten dollars, and so much is expressed on
the face of note itself. 'i.HtH Do ''

The Republicans of the North, embracing
but little more than half of that section,
rule the other half of the North and the
South with rod of iron. Two-flfths with
