THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEES AND THE VIZ
GINA LEGIsIAroRs.-It appears that on Satur-
day last as the deputation Of members from
the Virginia Legislature were emerging from
the White House, after their agreeable inter-
view and exchange Of Publications with the
President on reconstruction, they were met at
the threshold by the assistant sergeant-at-arms
Of the Senate, who presented each with .
subpoena to appear before the Reconstruction
Committee and testify in regard to the very
many inexplicable acts of their Assembly" 1t
further appears that the same evening all Of
these Virginia legislators but Judge Marshall
met the Reconstruction Committee, and threw
considerable light upon Virginia affairs; and
that they left next morning for Richmond,
perhaps to return again before the end of the
week, in order to satisfy the authorities at
Washington in regard to Virginia loyalty.
Now, Is Thaddeus Stevens is the head Of the
Reconstruction Committee, we guess that this
writ of habeas corpus upon these Virginia
legislators, as they emerged from the White
House, was one of cold Thad's" grim jokes.
He probably said to himself, "These Virginia
reconstructors are having good time with
the man at the other end Of the avenue. They
are making fine promises as to what they in
tend to do; but guess they will be astonished
in being called upon to explain what they have
been doing. We will try them, and send them
home each with flea in his ear; and we will
show the man at the other end of the avenue
that we too have word to say on this bust
ness of reconstruction" This proceeding, at
all events, is open to this Interpretation of
deliberate snubbing of the President at his
own door, and of q warning to other visiting
deputations of the same character. They must
look sharp, or in leaving the White House they
will be snapped up by Stevens who, as head
of the Reconstruction Committee, has "power
to send for persons and papers,"
Apart from the circumstance Of the arrest,
as we may call it, Of these Virginian legisla-
tors at the door of the Executive mansion, the
proceeding was well enough. The RecOnstruc-
lion Committee want information as to the ex
act condition of things in the excluded South
ern States. The members Of the Legislatures
Of those States can give much information Of
this sort, reliable and valuable, and we have
no doubt these Virginians with the single ex
ception named) were glad Of the opportunity Of
putting in their official testimony against that
of "reliablc refugees" observing travellers"
and "intelligent contrabands." AT the next
reception at the White House of one Of these
Southern Populations Thad Stevens ought to
be invited to attend; for if he could hear
from his own lips one Of these patriotic restora-
ton talks OF Andy Johnson 1t would probably
do the grim old Pennsylvania radical world
Of good.

Desperate Encounter with a Deer.

One OF the most daring encounters incident
to hunting lie-tuo0gh fortunately resulting
in nothing serious-that We have heard OF
for long time, occurred in The vicinity Of
Mud creek one dar last week. Mr.. Ed.
Nichols, formerly Of this place, started out
one morning with his dog, through piece
OF woods near his farm. Scarcely had he
entered the forest over mile from his hahl,
tation, when Suddenly up sprung large buck
from hts conceaiment, and confronting him
face - face Tor an Instant made aiearin. dash
at him. Nf. Nichois, though having no

tween the three was most fearful. Uue mos

4 CHATTER IN THE nIsroRY OF THE WAR;
The New ! ork Ereaing Post gives the de-
tails Of curious case which has lately come
mp in that city, aud to which reference has
already been made in our columns. ltseems
that memberof rebel vigilance committee
named George Fl. Goddard, has been arrest
ed in New York, aud placed in jail in default
OF $4,000 bail, charged 10y Mr.. Vim. New
man, of hot city, with having conspired.
with others, in depriying him oil $4,000
worth of goods. la the early days OF the
secession movement, both Goddard and
Newman were living in Chambers. Arkansas,
and it being known that Newman was o
Union man, he was waited upon BY the vigi
lance committee, who seized his goods, aud
notified him to leave the place, telling him
that he was to esteem himself fortunate i,
escaping with bis lie. Newman, according
ly, soon left. and in the course of a year ar
rived in New ork, where he at once entered
into business. Two weeks since, learning
that his former prosecutor. Goddard. was IN
New York, he procured papers Tor his arrest
and had him confined in Jail.
Steps have also been taken to bring this
case uefore the United States Court at Little
Rock, where all the members of the vigi-
lance committee and other secessionists liv-
ing in Arkansas who were concerted in
seizing Mr.. Newman property may be deal,
with
This suit in New York is only against God.
dard The final decision of the case will be
regarded with intense interest wherever dep
relations have been made by rebels upon the
property of Union men.
