IN the debate in the Virginia Legis-
laturc over Governor Peirpoint's mes
sage urging prompt compliance with
the reconstruction plan of Congress,
Mr.. White stated that all the papers in
the State had published the Military
Reconstruction bill. Mr.. Clark said
that not one man in I'VE hundred peo-
Pile had seen the bill. Mr.. StrauShan
wanted ten thousand copies of the mes
sage and bill printed for gratuitous
distribution. He said that not one
man " n hundred u, Ne State Of Pr
giid takes newspaper" This state
ment was not disputed by any member;
while the statement of Mr.. White, that
every newspaper in the Stale had pub
lished the bill, and of Mr.. Clark that,
Notwithstanding this, not one man in
five hundred people had seen the bill,
corroborates the extraordinary asser-
ton of Mr.. Straughau. No wonder the
politicians of the South are SO blindIy
followed by their ignorant people!

THF,f3s are dull aud I"presseu up AT
Pittsburgh in an iron way. Eastern
manufacturers have invaded even that
market with nails and other staple pro-
ducts, and are undeTseiling the home
houses at their own doors. This is
owing to the difference in the price of
labor East and West. Nails are being
shipped from Boston by steamers To
Baltimore and thence to Cincinnati for
81 cents per keg, and sold for the same
or less than Pittsburgh nails, and al
profit too. In this way the spring
trade is being in part supplied, ana the
the season is now getting so Tar along
that the Pittsburgh men are growing
more Indifferent about effecting an adj
justment with the puddlers. The lat
ter are asking nine dollars as against
seven offered. The manufacturers,
owing TO the lateDess of the season, are
talking OF reducing their offer to six.
They have project also on hand
which will go into operation this week,
that OF sending agents to Belgium to
bring in a thousand Puddlers. We are
informed that the agents will start this
week. The assessments aud cuntribu-
tions on the different establishments
have been levied TOR that purpose.
We regret to hear of this state OF
things for Wheeling is in the same
boat with Pittsburgh in this undersold
and depressed condition OF the mar
ket We had hoped that some under
standing between the iron men and
the puddlers would speedily be arrived
at, but the prospect seems remote as
ever. If things go on as they are going
of course the Eastern men will have the
spring trade largely in their own hands,
and in that event We may look for a
wider instead OF narrow margin OF
difference between the manufacturers
and the puddlers. 1t would seem to be
the part OF sound policy for both sides
to try and arrange their difficulties be-
fore the spring demand is otherwise
supplied.

DURING the months Of January and
February there were manufactured in
this city, each month, about seventeen
hundred thousand cigars, and it is esti-
mated that this month the number will
run to twenty hundred thousand.
Wheeling is the centre of the stogy
trade Of the country, and no cigars Of
that class can compete with hers in the
market Like Wheeling nails, they
are wanted in preference to any other
make. II is II business that il almost
peculiar to Wheeling. Somehow, she
got the start in it, and has kept it to
such an extent rs to virtually render
competition impossible. \ limited
business is done at some few other
places, as ut Pittsburgh and Steuben-
vile, but their supplies are not wanted
where the Wheeling article can be had.
In process of time, the cigar trade
must become very large item in
our constantly increasing and spread
ing city Industries. II yields revenue
already to the General Government
larger in proportion than any other
branch of manufacture. The commits.
sions alone OF the Inspector amount to
u very snug salary. The new tax oil
81 per thousand, shortly to go ON under
the late law of Congress, will, it is
feared, haye tendency to trench lit
lie at the outset upon the demand, but
rs with whisky, the people will hav,
something of the kind, and stogies ar,
so much cheaper than any other cigar
that they will always lind Il market.

y MEETING OF master mechanics,
architects and capitalists, was held in
Boston, Friday, at which the labor
question was considered from the en-
ployer's standpoint. The series of
resolutions adopted, state that the mas
ter mechanics feel justified in uniting to
resist any further attempts which their
employees may make to dictate terms of
wages detrimental and perpIexing to
their business that ten hours OF faith
full labor can be no severe tax upon the
energies OF any class of men, and that
they shall persist in exacting that
amount for days work that in case
any class Of employees shall organize a
strike, they will stand together to resist
such aggression, and suspend all opera
tons until the employees shall return to
their work upon equitable terms, and
that in all future contracts they will
insert clause relieving them from
liability for damages in case OF delays
resulting from strikes. An executive
eommittes was appointed in which en-
ployers In the several branches OF me.
chanical industry were represented.

WE are pleased to announce that
Frederick Douglass, the celebrated col
ored gentleman OF that name, will de-
liver his address on "The Dangers of
the Republic" at Washington Hall on
the evening of the sth OF April. Mr..
Douglass ia one of the best informed
men or the country, white or colored.
and has travelled. written, and spoken
extensively in this country and in
Europe. This address is instructive
and interesting. not less from its sub.
ject matter and manner OF treatment
than from the native. powers OF its au-
thor a. an orator. We know that there
are some conservative" people who
will turn up their noses at the idea OF
such II man speaking in our midst, sim
ply because his Maker did not give him
i, white skin. That is II matter which
he could not control and for which it i,
both useless and unbecoming to apollo
Rize. Such as he is, ne will speak for
us, and we nre glad to announce til,
fact, and also TO assure him that he will
be civilly received and respectfully

to take part in ratiiying an amendment Co the Constitution, and every other right whatever pertaining to a sovereign State, For the rc- cogniuon of one right of state power, we maintain, carries with it the recognition ofall other such rights. The question admits of no compromise, and any half way measures will be fatal to the action of Congress. The very worst that can be said against the Ter ritorial doctrine Is that 1t is without prede' dent, and has no Constitutional backing but they who argue so forget that secession itself was unprecedented, and that a crime so unna- tural never entered into the calculations oi those who framed the Constitution. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the men of this Congress tomake q precedent for future times, in the doing of which, it is the dictate of na- ture that they should consult the interest and security ofthose who have conquered be- cause they have been sinned against, rather than those who have been conquered because they have sinncd. Moreover, if there Is no Constitutional warrant for remanding these communities back to Territorial condition, neither is there any denying State the right of having Senators and Representatives in Congress. Indeed this last denial is q clear and fragrant violation of that instrument. lf these southern communities are really States, as is held by many Republicans, thent the con yiction oi the President by Senate of filty- ftrn ,r.t.,l ,f ftn n,ra4ttutf...-l g.44.

TIE GREAT IMPE ACnMEST.

The subject oi impeachment of President
 Johnson is the aIl-absorbing question of all
 political circles throughout the country at
 the present moment. The asserted detern,in-
 ation of Congress to compel the southern
 States to adopt she Amendment to the Con- stitGtion, ss condition precedent to restnr- ation or admission, involves qualification
 in the previons action ofthat body which will
 be difficult to reconcile. This is clearly seen and acknowledged by many, even cf the ultra
 radical party.
 The editor of the .dl.r, in an able article.
 makes many appropriate remarks, ffum which
 we extract several paragraphs. After citing the past inconsistencies of Congress, he says. !" it Is mani6st that no heaiway can be made in the sort of reconstruction which tie inter ests of the Nation demand by any such tiinid. hnns!ing patch work. The last Congress clear ly stultified itself, and like the pigeon pursued by the hawk, inits great fear exposed its vital parts to the enemy, whose talons, as we see.
 have been thrust into them. They feared to declare boldly that these reyolted Southern communities have ceased to be States. and must be regarded and governed as Territories. and tacitly admitted their Statesbip, which they confirm the moment they admit their right to ratiiy an amenament to the Fed ral Constitution. Rgi fl the rule works aell in one ease, why moi in ali ' Ifthey are States to ratfy an amendment, why not States enti- tied to Representatives and Senators The question is unai.ssera5ie. They are either States or not. If States for one purpose. then States for all purposes. If not States, then ihsy can have no voice in ratifyiBg the amend nent. There is earnest talk. in and out of congress, of impea thing the President and breaking him of his office. Suclia course may 'r may not be wise and polite. But this we ay down now as sound doctrine; There can 'e no fair, lawful and Constitutional trial off he President on impeachment by this Sen
 te, or the next, until congress nuthorita- rely declare by law that the seeded States re no longer States but merely Territories T else until they shall admit their Senators nd Representatives. If they are States at Il, surely their Senators have right to sit ] judgment on the trial of the President nd conviction in the enforced absence ofl . iese twenty Southern Senators would avail | Q more in law than conviction for murdey | an ordinary Court in the enforced absence { three of the twelve jcrymep designated by ( W as the tries of the crime.
