WHAr CONGRESS WILL Do.-Thc Chan
dleritas, the Tiptonites, and their followers,
arc willing 10 20 the "wholc hog" and
these arc probably in the majority Of Re-
pubUcans in the Senate; but senators Of
the Tcssenlen school are not convinced OF,
Inc authority Of law nor the proprlcty OF
he unconstitutional act to lcgalize an I'M
constitutional act and little hope is en-
tcrtancd therefore, OF convincing these
stubborn statesmen. II is not difficult,
however, to get an almost unanimous vote
in favor Of bill giving the commanders
dueottcr all power over civil officers, and
such authorization will form the main tta
ulrc Of any bill that may be pasSed.-Ic!c-

CONGRESS. Two bills will be introduced
into Congress today upon the reconstruct
tion question. They arc both strong, and
wiil be briefly considered: and it is believed
that the final action on the measure vii!
be reached as early as Wednesday. The
measure will command the necessary two
thirds vote, and the President, aware OF
this, will not, il is thought, detain the bill
for any considerable length Of time, but
will send in his veto message at once. This
being the state of the case, and as the
temper OF the House is not to have pro-
uactcd session, Congress will adjourn by
next Saturday. We have favored longer
session, and we still think the affairs OF the
nation call for it.-II ushingto@ RepHJ-

Governor Throckmorton, of Texas, in a
recent communication to the Executive OF
this State recommending certain gen.
tcman residing in Dallas county, Texas,
FOR the appointment as commissioner of
deeds for Louisiana, addressed his cOmmu-
nication as follows "To his Excellcnsy,

From this it would seem that Governor
Throckmorton thinks it likely that most

About General Grant.

Selma Ala.) correspondence Rev IorE Gazette.
Talking Yesterday with an cX-Coniedc
rate general John I. Morgan, a cousin OF
the famous kentucky raider on the sub
icct Of West Point, and the number Of lis
officers who "wcnt with the South du-
ring the late war, ! learned something
abGut General Grant that is worth rcla-
ting. Soon after the outbreak o! the war
4 number Of rebel officers, of whom my
informant was one, was discussing the
relative merits OF northern and southern
officers, and was ccngratulating them
selves that the best of the old West Point
crs had Joined tie southern cause. After
HE names Of several Of those likely to
prove the best generals in the North had
been mentioned, General Ewcll, who was
one of the party, spoke up and said there was
one man living in Illinois or Missouri about
whom the northern people knew very little
uhis was some time before the battle Of
Fort DonelSon). lie hoped they would not
lind him out. lie (Ewcil) had served with
him in California and on the frontier, and
he feared him III the present war more than
he feared any other officer if he once got
started. His name was Grant. lie had
seen enough Of him TO know that If he got
Il fair chance he would strike some heavy
blows. He did not believe there was much
genius in the fellow but give him men
enough, and he'd keep pounding at place
until he took it. He believed the South
had more 10 fcarlrom the stubbornness and
logged obstinacy OF this fellow, if he ever
cot chance to show himself, than from the
genius or ability Of any officer in the army.
This was Ewell'S opinion Of Grant while
the latter was commanding a regiment
under Fremont in Missouri; and | do not
think Ewell knew that he had got even
that high in the military scale when he eX-
dressed himself as have just related.

Francisco the extensive and valuable
products ofmining labor. 1t is expect
ed that in short time the use of wag-
ons from the West will be entirely dis
pensed with, when as a consequence
freights of all kinds will be greatly re-
duced and the amount of business will
be largely increased.
1t is believed that by 1870, travel can
pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific in
nine days. "From that time," says a
contemporary, "tho trade Of the world
will be revOlutionized The submarine
cable and the trans-continental railway
will bring Europe and Asia to our doors.
The products cf China, Japan and the
Indies will cross our territory. Travel
from Europe thence will follow trade
over this iron track through the Amer
lean States and Territories. The COM
merce of this country will surpass the
dreams. of the days of the past. Old
interests, sectional feuds, petty local
prejudices will all be melted down in
the alembic Of this successful enter
prise, and to and fro across our vast ter
ritory will pass the procession of the
busy world"

How to Handle Wool.

In a notice of the action OF the wool
buyers, as shown in the Michigan and
Rochester meetings, the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin says:
The object of this movement is to cor
rect a long-standing abuse in the pre-
paration of the article for market, which
tends to bring the whole business into
disrepute, and to compel honest grow
ers to share the odium and the loss
which the slovenly or fraudulent prac-
tices of a few INSCRIPTIONS persons a
mong them intlict upon this important
branch of industry as whole.
Heretofore too little discrimination
has been made by wool buyers-espe-
cially by those who buy on commission,
and hence have less motive for a right
eous classification of staple-between
good and i'll conditioned wool, when
taken from first hands. But this nice
discrimination has got to be made soon
cr or late, before the article passes into
the manufacturers hands; and, when 1t
is made, some body has to suffer for the
Original sin" involved in the practice
of selling dirt, gum, tow-strings and
taglocks for pure wool.
The necessary distinction should, III
all cases, he made when the article is
purchased from the farmer, and then
only those who are to blame for these
maipractices will have to bear the pun
isLment for them. Besides, ifwool buy
ers, or their agents, did not pay q pre-.
mium for carelessness and fraud, by
failing to make this distinction, these
practices would cease tOpay, and good,
honest, thrifty sheep husbandry would
take courage and precedence from re-
ceiving its due reward.
This fact is strikingly illustrated in the
proceedings of the Western New York
Wool Buyers Convention, held last
week at Rochester. They show that
the business of wool growing, in that
section, has been greatly injured by the
practice of indiscriminate buyiDg-that
is, by the pretended necessity Of buy
ing all the wool in one neighborhOod,
without regard to condition, and that
thus certain neighborhoods have ac-
ouifed an unenviable reputation among
manufacturers, which has deprecated
the average market value oftheir staple
full twenty-five per cent. .
