two dollar bills two threads, five dollar
bills three threads, four threads for tens,
five for twenties, six for ~fifties, seven Tor
one hundreds, eight for five hundreds, and
nine for thousands.

A FINE COUNTRY TO LIVE IN.-We make
the following extract from a letter, written
by a prominent and reliable gentleman of
Weston, Lewis county, West Virginia, to
q gentleman in this county, says the Staun-
ton Spectator. 1t depicts an awful condi-
tion of affairs in that section of country !:
off l could sell my little property l
would not stay in the id country forty
eight hours although our county is with us
by a large majority. We the Conserva-
tives) always out-vote them Uhe Radicals),
yet they always declare a sufficient num-
her of election precincts illegal to elect a
Rad. At the last election we elected all
the Conservatives, and when the supervi-
sors met they declared six election pre-
cincts void because one illegal vote, as
they say, was cast at each place, thus dis
franchising 600 legal voters because six IL
legal votes were cast.
"We are taxed most outrageouSly. Fol
instance-on property that we paid a tax
of $40 before the war, we now pay a tax of
500. We pay all kinds of taxes-school
tax, road tax, jury tax, bounty tax, &C.,
sc. We have 542 olfice-holders in this
county-all receive pay. 1t is this large
official body that makes the party SO
formidable"

extraordinary overflow of "~loyalty" were

doubtless be added to the half dozen
wretched portraits and shocking busts
in plaster of the same subject another
hideous caricature to dis6gure the nation
al capitol. There IL 40 public building In
the civilized world, and none has yet been
discovered In the exhumed ruins Of Aztec
cities In Mexico that presents such fright
full reflections upon national taste as does
the great mass Of the unsightly daubs and
f~rescoes that conceal the handsome walls
Of the interior Of the capitol at Washing
ton. The old " shin bone pieces" Of Trum-
bull In the rotunda have q quasi value in
the supposed portraiture OF the leading
figures in his fre-boards, and they are fast
coming to be considered creditable, even
as works of art, in comparison with the
latter and fresher efforts which have been
plastered, and stuck, and hung in their
vicinity. But if native artists are to be
employed on the simple ground of loyalty
to almost anything but art, We have .
right toprotest against the further disigure-
ment of the capitol interior by one Bru-
midi, an Italian, who, for some years past,
has been industriously throwing pals of
paint against the walls at a cost of hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars. His work
has transformed the lower halls into the
general appearance Of cheap concert sa-
looms and bar-rooms, while his brushes or
syringes, or hose, or whatever means he
employs to do his daubing have covered,
at q cost of $780, 900, the dome with a
group that is not nearly so allegorical as
it is diabolical. The tax paying public
may endure such expenditures; but we
mistake public taste if it will long submit
to such frightful figures as have been fas-
tened on those walls as "works of art"
There may be no limit to the Radical de-
signs on the Constitution, but there should
he a summary stop to such "designs" on
the Capitol.

Prominently mentioned in connection
with the new plan of restoration" are
Governor Orr, of South Carolina; Judge
Sharkey, of Mississippi; Governor Par
sons, of Alabama; and Governor Marvin,
of Florida. 1t is stated that the President
endorses the scheme.
The site for the California branch mint
in San Francisco has been purchased at
the corner of Fifth and Mission streets for
100000, gold. The contemplated build
ing will cost 100000.
Texas, through her attorney, has COM
menced a suit in the District Supreme
Court against the Secretary of the Trea-
sury to test the right of holders of certain
indemnity bonds, valned at 100000 in
gold. Texas alleges that the bonds were
improperly obtained from the State on I'M
fulfilled contracts and sold, and the suit
is to restrain Secretary McCulloch from
paying them.
The author Of the letter which led to the
correspondence which resulted in the re-
signation of Motley, Minister to Austria,
was George McKraken, of New York.
Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, is in bad
health. He will leave for the South as
soon as he is able. Governor Parsons
leaves tomorrow.
There is authority for saying that the
features of the new project for %reconstruc-
ton, as published North and South, are
garbled and unreliable, and gentlemen
prominent in the project regret its publ
cation. The true test Of the scheme will
be presented in the North Carolina Legisla-
ture in a few days, and will be given to
the public by that body. The scheme ORR
ginated with southern men without formal

THE NEW PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.

II NEW PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.
The Governors Of southern States-Go-
vernon Orr, Of South Carolina Sharkey, of
Mississippi, and others-who have been In
consultation in Washington, have gone
home TO carry out q plan agreed upon.
This Is to get the different Legislatures of
the southern States to endorse a project of
impartial suffrage with property qualifica-
tons Of $3.50, and ability to read and write.
This done, they propose to present the pro-
Ject to Congress as the base OF a plan OF
reconstruction upon which Congress, the
President, and the southern people can be
likely to agree. :,
Ii is stated that this plan will be much
less Objectionable to the South than the
amendment to the Constitution. The diff
ferent Legislatures Of the South now in
session have beer telegraphed to not to
adjourn until the matter can be laid before
them. 1t is probable that North Carolina
will be the first State to act upon the ques-
tion.-Stdr.

cr So callcd-Thai. Stevens:
\ tall. slim man, with q high and pro-
.eating, though narrow, forehead. His eye
..oys are buShv, and oyerhang a pair OF

v.ry piercing in glance. His hair is a soft
Town auburn, and il is plainly evident
J..t il has belonged 10 somebody else
mciime OF another, although ii is now
j.. miuuly arranged on the head of Thad.
Stevens, the great cOmmoner" from
PENNSYLVANIA. His cheek bones are promi-
lrlt aud sharp, like those of a ScOtchman
OF q Navaige Indian, while the flesh of his
checks is sunkcn and narrOwS down TO a
square, decided chin. There is a deep line
running down from the expanSe OF each OF
I've ~np,tIils, and the muscles of the upper
lip Immediately in front of the nose are
y.umiuent. The upper lip is closely set
and thin, while the lower one is a little
thicker, and protrudes slightly beyond its
companion with a sour, pouting expression.
Tie nose is purely Roman, with a slight
>ru,ual indication in the OF the
uo,trilS. The ears are large, indicating a
stubborn DISPOSITION and a generous heart,
bun are covered up by the gentle and
graceful waves Of his wig, which also fall
over the right temple and conceal a part
Of the forehead. This last feature OF his
facial appearance may account for the APP
parent narrowness of the forehead, as it is
a. broad at the base as at the eyebrows,
but seems 10 grow narrow as II goes up
ward, and finally hides itself with a heavy
frontal projection in the hair. His dress is
rather "slipShod," generally consisting ola
black cloth coat and vest, pants Of the
same color, and abiack silk neck handker-

loose sailor.kuot fashion, torcibly calling

lie sloOps not a little, and does not look
graceful when he stands up to address the
House, which fact is s~uperinduced, | sup
pose, by an inllrmity in one of his pedal
oZtrrmities. On his sound leg and foot he
seems TO rest his weight, and swings easily
IRON right TO left, half way round the circle,
as If standing on a pivot. His gestures are
made almost entirely with his right hand,
never with the left alone, but sometimes
with both together. His voice is weak, and
somewhat shrill and ~squeakish, with mo-
AgtonOus tones, which never would attract
attention from the galleries if they were
not known 10 express the ~ground-down bit
terness and sarcasm Of congressional oppo-.
sit,on to the President. His manner OF
delivery is commonplace; but perhaps
owing TO his exalted prominence:as a great
Radical leader, it is convincing, and every
word that he utters seems to find the spot
Ia The mind Of his hearers that he intended
It should find. His sarcasm readX sharper
than it sounds as he speaks it for1si it falls
from bis lips in bis weak voice, it seems TO
be struggling for an existence.
