missioner of freedmen for the State of South
Carolina informs Major General Howard
that the people in that State are very jubi-
liant over the veto, and are becoming more
bitter and outspoken every day. Many north.

policy to be pursued. The assistant commits.

MARCH.-The month of wind and
rain, and often snow,-has thus far this
year been very pleasant. Several DAYS this
week have been quite warm. The birds were
singing in the tree-tops, the naples put forth
their buds, and visions of gardening passed
before the minds Of the matrons-mvsteri.
GUS bags which have lain away since last
fall, were looked after, and a note made of
the seeds on hand and of those to be pur.
chased; the repose Of sundry spades, hoes
and rakes was disturbed but beyond this
little was done. Our matrons are not to be
deceived by a few fair days IN March-they
know the tricks of the old month too we'll.
But we are thankful for even these pleasant
days-few though they may be- We realize
the truth of Thomson's lines when he saws,
Life flows afrcsh: and young-eyd health cxalts
H." Whole creation round"
After the sadness and gloom of the long and
dreary winter, these days Of sunshine, birds
and budding trees give US new heart for the
performance of the duties of life however
irksome they may be. They are bright har.
bingers of what is to come. Storms of rain.
wind, snow and sleet, we expect but the
day is not distant when we shall have the
''merry Spring time in all its beauty and
loneliness.

invasion. Secretary McCulloch received a
telegram on Tuesday from the Canadian
Minister of Finance, requesting that the pro-
vincial authorities be permitted to station
officers along the railroads on the American
side of the border to examine baggage and
freight destined for Canada. The Secretary
in reply, sent the following telegram to the
Collectors of Customs on the Northern from
tier: "Allow the Canadian authorities to
place officers at railroad points on our side

A curious story with regard to the Fe.
mans is telegraphed from New York, that
the present excitement in Canada is merely
to attract attention there and away from Ire
land, and thus to hasten the union of the
British provinces, with Prince Albert for a
king. 1t adds that the Fenians perfectly
understand the little game, and have made
arrangements to prevent it. Fenians are
reported everywhere, even at the table OF
Sir Frederick Bruce, at Washington, while
the bearer of the Queens dispatches is also
said to belong to the organization.

A Working CONGRESS.

Under this caption the Press special writes
from Washington to that paper:
Now that Congress has determined upoD
Its policy of reconstruction, you may look for
rapid and continuous work. The night ses-
slons of the House indicate that pothing will
be delayed, and am not without hope that
in the course of a very short time the friends
OF tie country will have every reason to CON
graduate themselves upon having real poll.
cy, around which they can gather, showing
to the people that their Senators and Repre-
sentatives have been equal to all the demands
OF the crisis. Among the measures sure to
be put through at an early day is the tariff
bill. 1t will not be bill to protect capital,
but Labor; and as such, will be presented to
the President for his 81 nature. Coming at
time when paralysis in trade is predicted,
it will do everything to relieve American IN.
dustry, North and South That Tennessee
will be admitted, so far as Congress is CON
cerned, at an early day, does not seem to be
doubted. The Democrats themselves find it
is useless to raise antagonism to the report
of the Reconstruction Committee. accom-
panied as it is by such formidable array of
evidence.
Then will come the admission of the ten
other States and the basis of their restora
ton will be, think, something like the
following:
That the rebel debt be repndiated that all
black codes and class legislation be repealed :;
that all colored men who fought for the
Union and were honorable discharged. and
all who read and write, shall vote at all cleo
tons for President, Congress, Governors and
Legislatures.
These, with the essential amendments of
the Constitution, which, however they NAV
be delayed by differences in the Senate are
sure to pass, in some good shape, at an early
day, will pretty effectualy close up the work
of the session. Meanwhile you will note
that the people are paying their taxes with
the greatest comparative cordiality and that
the revenue, internal and foreign, is enorm-
GUS beyond example. Importations will be
checked, the local burdens greatly reduced,
and a system of national legislation for the
benefit and care of the widows and children
of the deceased soldiers ofthe Republic, and
for the living wounded and disabled heroes,
will be agreed upon. Then the great Union
party may 60 before the people so strong
that opposition will be useless

tion Of ssl7,3sl to M ,aet the increased pay Of

There is section in the Excise law which pro-
vidss that all licenses and penalties accruing
under the law shall be appropriated, after pay

the Police Department imposes upon the public
1t seems perfectly consistent that the money
thus acquired by the Excise Board, which
already amounts to over a million of dollars,
should be appropriated to the expenses of the
police, who are the active agents in carrying
out the provisions OF the Excise law. There
are many other sources, also, from which ma

Of the people but this suggestion Of the Super
