THE SIrUATIoN.-The Washington Star of
the Goth says:
THE Republican Senators held a caucus of
some hours yesterday. in which the question of
reconstruction and the time for adjournment
of Congress discussed. The sentiment of
the caucus was unanimously against the third
section of the reconstruction measures, at least
voice raised in its behalf.
Various substitutes for the third section were
discussed; but the proposition most favored was
one excluding from holding Federal Office those
who deserted the United States Congress and ar
my and navy to take part in the rebellion; also.
the members of the Confederate Congress. the
Confederate Cabinet, Confederate diplomatic
agents. Confederate military officers of the rank
of Major General and Brigader General, and
Confederate naval officers of the higher grade. &C.
1t was claimed that the reconstruction meas
ures modified in some such manner. could be
passed in the Senate by the requisite two-thirds
vote, and something to spare.
THE Sd section has been passed in the above
shape.
Concerning the adjournment. the current feel
ing seemed to be in favor of remaining in session
"ntil the middle of July. unless the leading bust
mess of Congress is sooner disposed of.

AN EXCELLENT PRoposrrros.-Tbe ord;-

AN EXCELLENT Proposition Ordi-
nsrce introduced into the Convention by Mr. Nc
Corkle. of Stanly county. to prohibit the Legis-
aafure from electing its own members to Office. is
mitch needed measure, and its adoption would
result in remedying great evil. 1t has been the
practice of our Legislatures to fill nearly all the
offices with its own members. If a Judge or
Solicitor is to be elected. member is given the
place, because he is on the ground and can clog
roll electioneer and pull the wires successfully.
Ut an important Commission is to be appointed,
members of the Legislature combine and elect
themselves. And to such an extent has this
practice been carried. that persons who aspire to
certain offices first secure their election to the
Legislature in order to secure the Office they
want.
1t is frequently the case that the fate of impor-
tent public measures are made to depend on.the
~hims or combinations of members who desire to
appropriate the Offices. Let such evil and Cor
rupting practices be prevented by an Ordinance
of the Convention, and let it be the law that no
man shall be elected to an office by the Legisla-
ture while he is a member of the Legislature.
Some one may raise the objection that such a
law would deprive the State. sometimes. of the
services of some Of the best men, but let it be re-
membered that the best talent is not always to be
found in the Legislature or in Congress. There
are as good fish in the was taken out

THE CHARLOTTE & S. @. RA1LRoAD.-The high
freight and tariff rates exacted by the Directory
of this road from those whose necessities and 10.
cation compel them to patronize it, has become a
matter of serious concern and general regret. So
liberal is the policy pursued by it, that the gen.
eral verdict now is, that the road has failed to
meet the objects for which it was incorporated
and built. Railroad Charters have been granted
by the Legislature of this State in order to confer
substantial benefits upon the communities inter-
ested and never with view of enriclIing stock
holders at the expense of those communities. For
this reason, the passenger fare over the C. &. S.
c. road was established by the original charter at
mot over six cents per mile,' and freight at not
dred miles" How far the road is meeting the
requirements of this charter those who have oc-
casion to use it, can determine for themselves
We know that the company recently advertised
to carry freight from Charlotte to Columbia, a
distance of ITO miles, at $3.50 per hundred
pounds; nearly three times the charter rates.
These charges may have received some modifica-
ton in the past few weeks, though We are not
informed of any having been made.
The State of South Carolina is large stock
holder in this Road, and the tax money paid to
establish it, was not for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of
the special shareholders, but Intended to result in
beneht to the people OF the State. 1t was 10
tended that this and all roads established
should be restricted in the rate of charge that
they would supercede the old system of wagoning
produce to market, at great distances. In this 1t
has sgnaly failed, far as this locality IS con-
cerned.
The Legislature intended, also, by encouraging
the building of railroads, to establish her own
seaport, Charleston, upon substantial basis, so
that her prosperity would improve aud enrich the
interior. Among the feeders to that city, the
Charlotte and S. G. Railroad is one of much i'm
portance. Yet so high rate of freight has been
established that shippers from this section prefer
to wagon their produce to Charlotte, n. e., and
there ship by the North Carolina Railroads to
Portsmouth or Newberne. Charleston and the
upper Districts thus deprived of all the bene-
fits of this road, and likewise are the communities
formerly dependent upon it as shipping medium

that the planters are much gratifed with the

sons who oppose it are the politicians: With
all due Difference to Gen. Scott think this an
incorrect statement. Facts speak louder than
words or letters, and the universal opinion Of the
whole country is that the Bureau is an intolerabe
