Southern Enterprise.

Many who were familiar with the
Southern newspaper press before the
war, and have become acquainted with
it since, are astonished at its vast i'm
provement in size, mechanical execution
and editorial ability. But they are
amazed, above all, at the quantity of ad-
vertisements Selecting from a few ex-
changes at random, one of our contempo-
raries lately counted in the Mobile 1ri-
btine. of 80 columns, q of advertisements;
in the Memphis Commercial, 81 of its AZ
columns devoted to advertising, and In
the New Orleans Crescent, 80 out OF 90,
The same extraordinary activity in all
the Southern newspapers. The smaller
towns have each their two or three dal-
lies, running over with the wants, etc,
of the business community; and the char
acter Of these advertisements IS no less
suggestive than their number
In fine, the business columns of the
Southern newspapers indicate that the
entire material interest OF the South is In
a transition state, undergoing reconstruc-
ton. White labor is being introduced !
plantations by the thousands are seeking
new owners or tenants; capital is imper-
atively needed; and the old manual sys-
tenn of industry is about to be replaced,
to considerable extent, by machinery
When the South does become settled;
when its rich plantations all find owners
or tenants; when white labor and I'M
proved machinery succeed the indolent
gangs of negro laborers, the South Will
develop resources that will astonish the
world nv their magnitude.

New ORLEANS, March 5.-The Fire

finest one we ever witnessed in this city.
The engines were beautifully and taste
fully decorated, and the day passed off
pleasantly, with the exception of the ar
rest by the military of the band of No

and other Southern airs.
The steamer Mary Helm, from Shreve-
port for this city, was burned on the 18th
ult, in Red river, with GOO bales of cot
ton. One Federal soldier was lost.
The schooner Wood, from Havana, and
for New Orleans, put into Cedar Keys,
leaking badly, with her center split and
spars carried away. She was condemned.
Brownsville dates to the 28th ult have
been received Gen. Getty had assumed
command of the Rio Grande District,

above Matamoros, on the Mexican side.
The death of the Liberal chief, Men
dez, from wounds received in taking the
Rancho de Fanquita, is confirmed.
An imperial decree has been issued
which seems to do away with that which
made the Rio Grande ports free ports of
entry, the duties being paid only when
the goods went into the interior
Reports of murders and robberies on the
Rio Grande still continue.

Chief Justice Chase.


The Boston Commercial, Republican
print, says:
Yet Chief Justice Chase seems to feel
very uncomfortable and restless In his
exalted seat In fact, he evidently re-
CARDS it as sort of quarantine ground,
or, to use nautical phrase, the DOL
drums, in which he lies becalmed, when
he should be running ten knots an hour
with believing canvas filled with the gem
uine popular aura, his port OF destlna-
ton, of course being the White House.
The ermine is not to his taste. He en-
Joys the popular assembly and the ap-
plause of the multitude more than the
quiet of the courtroom, and calm delloer-
alton and unimpassioned exercise OF his
reason. He has perambulated the whole
country since his appointment to his pres
ent position. he is constantly showing
himself on platforms, before miscellane-
GUS adiences. We do not wish to be cap
tious, or to assert that it is not perfectly
proper for him to take upon himself the
entire supervision of the freedmen OF the
South, and to act as usher at Washington
and elsewhere for Mr. Frederick Douglass.
Certainly his course finds no sanction in
the examples of his distinguished pre-.
decessors in Office The truth is Chief
Justice Chase made up his mind some
time ago to be President of the United
States, and when a man has done that he
is likely to be altogether too restless and
nervous, too much on the look out for
favorable breezes, to give that calm con-
sideration to legal questions which great
judicial magistrate should. We are sorry
for Judge Chase. He ought TO be con-
tented and happy, but he is not

"a likeness of Louis XVI, set IN u cluster
of thirty-four diamonds, whilst the edge
is surrounded by txenty-four diamonds.
This valuable relic Of the revolution has
been in the family Of the defendants of
Col Laurens since the death Of that gen

WASHINGTON, March 2-The Senate
to-day was the scene of a protracted de-
bate on the House concurrent resolution,
relative to the Southern Representatives,
which ended by the passage of the reso-
luton by-ayes 29, noes lS.
The Republican Senators who voted
against it with the Democrats were
Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle, Lane, of Kan
sas, Morgan, Norton and Van Winkle.
The resolution as it passed both Houses
is as follows--being a concurrent resolu-
ton it does not reqnire the signature Of
the President
Be IL ResOlUed, By the House of Rep
resentatives, the Senate concurring, that
in order to close the question which seems
likely TO disturb the action of the Govern
ment, as well as to quiet the uncertainty
which is agitating the minds Of the people
of the eleven States which have been de-
clared to be in insurrection, no Senator
or Representative shall be admitted into
either branch of Congress from any of the
said States until Congress shall have de-
clared such State entitled TO such repre-
sentation.
Senator Cowan spoke for two hours
against the resolution in strong con-
servative strain, fully indorsing the
President and MS policy of rccUnsiruc-
ton. and urging upon Congress the i'm
mediate admission Of loyal Southern
Representatives
Senator Wilson spoke an hour against
conservatism, declaring that It was the.

ism was progressive, as the experience
Of the last thirty years had clearly
proven.
