The Reconstruction Question-.Im-
pOrtant Movements AfoOt.
Through our private advices from
Washington we are informed that the
constitutional amendment, as it has
passed the Senate, designed to cover
the reconstruction and readnisslon in
to Congress of the lately rebellioUs
States, will probably, without further
modification, be passed by the House
to-day under the previous question, in
order that this amendment may be
submitted without further loss of time
to the States for ratification.
We understand, further, that an ex-
ira session of our Legislature may be
looked for tol inaugurate the work OF
ratification and that it is supposed this
example will be followed by other
States The republicans in Congress,
we are also informed, are sanguine that
the required ratification of three
fourths of the State Legislatures can be
secured to this amendment in session
to restore to their places in Congress
most if not all the excluded States du-
ring the next session 1t is believed
that the bill which is to follow this
constitutional amendment, giving those
States ten years cIedit ON their share of
the national debt, will have decisive
influence over them, ready cash being
an article of which they are now sadly
deficient
We are not advised whether in those
movements the cooperation of Con-
gress and the President is expected
but as Congress has abandoned its main
issue with the President-negro suf-
frage-and has adopted his policy, he
will not, perhaps, think it worth whilel
TO push the war with the radicals to
extremities on the issue between Exec
utive and legislative usurpation. There
is some generalship in the idea of
special session of our State Legislature
and of others, to ratify this amend
ment, as it will clear the decks and give
the republicans the actual occupation
of the field in advance of the coming
fall elections. In this view we await
the action of the House upon the Sen
ate amendment as for the first step in
a very important programme.-M T.

We are informed by Mr.. Henderson,
of Winchester, that there is no foun-
dation whatever for the report men
toned in the UNION yesterday, assign
ing domestic difficulties" as the cause
Of Mrs. Estilrs unfortunate suicide
Temporary insanity WAS the cause. Mrs.
Estill was the wife of Dr. VIM. Bstill
and one of the mort respectable and
intelligent ladies of Winchester. No
one possessed more Of the esteem of the
community, or was more happy in her
domestic relations The deep sorrow
given her family aud friends by her
death, augmented by the manner Of it,
has, We are sure, aroused sentiments OF
sincere and profound sympathy in the
breasts of all who knew her or her re-
Vered husband.

With the view Of making close cOnnec
tions and quicker time between New York
and New Orleans by this arrangement, the
time between the two cities viii be reduced
to ninesy-twO 1927 hours, which is less than
by any other route.
The Convention agreed 20 make no change
in fares for the present, the ratess being
now the same as via other lines to compel
ing points, but held that it is the right Of
this line to reduce the fare to Grand juno
ton 10 meet any arbitrary rate fixed by
other lines.
Messrs. West, Branner, and Owen were
appointed by the Convention a committee 10

TO carry through mails by the Virginia and

The Convention decided against paying

The practice Of passengers carrying ex

AMONGST the many complimentary

" At a period like the present, when our
city is filed to OVERLOOKING with a transient
population, and diseases prevail to an ex-
tent hitherto undreamt Of, it is proper that
the means Of cure should be OF ready ae-

should have information which will lead
them to avail themselves Of competent
Medical advice. Men who have been edu-
Gated in the best schools of the profession
Of Medicine, and been successful in a prac-

confidence; If they have given their atten-

TO the day when could bring my bonnie
wife home, TO make music in my house"
Lizzie's face saddeued for a moment, as
she thought OF the last two years, and how
little music she had made for his loving
heart, gradually weaving it from it's alIegi-
ance, and then she said:
81 wonder if you love music as much as
you did then v'
"Of course do. often drop in a, Mrs.
Smiths for nothing else than to hear the
music"
''E can play and sing beiler than Mrs
Smith" }" said Lizzie poutiug.
"But you always say you are out of prac>
tice when ask you"
81 had the piano tuned this morning now
open it and we will see how il sounds"
William obeyed joyfully and tossing aside
her sewing, Lizzie took the piano STOOL
She had very sweet voice, no, powerful,
but most musical, and was fair performer
on the piano.
Ballads, Lizzie"
ooh yes know You dislike opera music
in parlor."
One song afier another, with a nociurns,
or lively instrumental piece. occasionally,
between them, filled uP another hour pleas
antIy.
The mantle clock struck eleven!
eleven | thought it was about nine
ought to apologize, Lizzie, as used TO do
for staying so long, and truly say, as did
then, that the time has passed so pleasantly
can scarcely believe il Is so laie"
The piano was closed. Lizzie's work put
into the basket, and William was ready TO
go mp stairs; but, glanciug back he saw his
wife near The fire place, her hands clasped,
her lead bent and large tears falling from
her eyes. He was beside her in an instant.
"Lizzie, darling, are you ilLl What is the
matter z"
"0h, William, I have been such a bad
wife heard you tell Mr.. Moore last eve
ming, how had disappointed you, but will
Try to make your home pleasant Indeed
will, if you will forgive and love me-
"LoVe you Why, Lizzie, you can't guess
how dearly | love you J"
As the little wife lay down tha, night she
thought, 81 have won him back again.
Better than that, have learned the way to
keep him.
