Reconstruction.

The Gallipolis Journal, in an able
article, maintains TINT political power
cannot now be restored to the Southern
States With safety, either to the negro
or to the loyal man, nor the franchise be
extended to the negro without producing
at least conflict Of races. We believe
the Journal correct in the opinion that
suffrage ,rou!l not prove a blessing to the
colored men in the South if granted now,
and that what he needs fur more, and
should hare through the direct interior
encs of the general Government, if no.
ccssary, is protection in life, liberty, and
the benefits of their labor. And another
matter that should be secured at all
hazards is the general and thorough cd.
ucation which should be made qualif
cation Of suffrage. We leave it for the
superior wisdom Of Congress to decide
how these can be best effected. IF the
Frecdmen's Bureau, together with the
Civil Rights amendment to the Constitu'
ton, is sufficient to insure this-and wc
confess VIC have doubts on the subject

Congressional Proceedings.

During the past week there has been
4 great deal of excitement in Congress,
occasioncd by the unexpected introduce
ton of the Presidents veto Of the Bill
to enlarge the powers and continue the
existence of the Frecdmcn's Bureau
The FIRST attempt in the Senate to pass
it over the Presidents veto proved
failure, the Bill not receiving the requI'
site two, thirds vote.
In the House another Freedmen 2
Bureau Bill vas Introduced, which, it
is supposed, will obViats many Of the
president's objections to that measure.
Mr.. Wade, in the Senate, introduced
amendment to the Constitution lin
ting the President Of the United States
to one term, aud made an able argument
in its favor.
In the Senate Mr.. Trumbull, of Hi.
nois, made an able defense Of the Freed
mems Bureau Bill of which be was the
author.
The veto of this Bill, and the excite.
ment which it has caused, seems almost
certain to cause a rupture between the
President and Congress. The Presi'
dent has allowed himself to become ez.
cited by the speeches, &c. of the Radi'
cal opposition in Congress, and has, We
think, gone little too far, but We do
not feel disposed to give him entirely up

CovISGroy & ONO K. R.-A bill i:
before the Virginia Legislature, grant
ing all the rights of Virginia 10 the Gov.
ington and Ohio Railroad, to a party Of
gentlemen who propose to finish the
road to the Ohio river. The conditions
Of this grant are, that unless the road is
not vigorously commenced 10 sixty days
and completed within five years, it will
revert to the State. The gentlemen
composing this company are from the
North, and their position in fuan cial
circles indicate tho success of the enter.
prise. The section Of the road between
Covinstou and White Sulphur Springs,
is to be completed within one year
The rest Of the roud is divided into four
parts of fifty miles each, one of which is
to be finished every year. There is
great part Of the route graded, and as
for as White Sulphur, it il nearly ready
for the rail.
