New York SPECIALS.

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-The Times
special says: There is no hope that
the President will approve the Military
Reconstruction Bill.
The Ways and Means Committee
will report to-day or Tomorrow the bill
suspending the contraction of green
backs for one year in accordance with
the instruction of the House, but they
will accompany 1t with a substitute,
which they will recommend, identical
with the Senate Loan Certificate Bill
The Herald's special says: It Is un-
derstood that F. P. Blair, ST., has gone
to Boston to induce Gov. Andrew to
accept the position ofSecretary of State.
The visit is by authority, and il in the
interest of those who favor universal
suffrage and universal amnesty.
The Tribune says the action OF the
House in referring the loan resolution
to the COMMITTEES on Banking was in
tended to defeat that measure, as there
Is no possibility Of that committee be
ing called again this session. The
Ways and Means Committee, however.
will bring in a bill which viii be
moved as a substitute for the bill in re-
lRtion to the contraction of greenbacks.
The Worlds special says: The in
dictment found against Surratt has
proved so defective that it Is said that
it would have been Quashed on the
first day OF the trial and the prisoner

drawn up presenting him as an Access
sorry and not principal in the murder

Southern News

NEW YORK, Feb. 2I.-The Herald's
Southern correspondence, dated Rich
mond, Charleston and Macon, repre-
sents that some excitement existed in
West Virginia on account of the muir
der of two members of the Red String
Association, a radical organization, for
electioneering purposes, in South Caro-
Ena.
The great restitution among the peo-
pie is believed TO be mainly due to the
disorganizstion of the labor system.
A case testing the validity of powers
of attorney, held during the war, on
which property was sold for Confeder-
ate money, is pending in the United
States Court at Charleston. Mrs. Car
oline Carson, daughter of the late Jas.
L Pettigrew, and now residing in New
York, Is the plaintiff.
Governor Orr has been severely de-
nounced for the sentiments he express
pressed at the recent banquet, and in
his address to the freedmen recently, he
said that forty million dollars worth of
property had been banished from
Charleston by the refusal of the citizens
to associate with Northern merchants.
he also announced that he was in favor
of giving the negro who could read, the
right OF suffrage. In Macon high
hopes OF successful business this year
are entertained by the merchants.
The action of New York in reference
" ZIG Va EOnN4E4A GCGElkuIlOu Is
looked for with lively emotion.

lace, Jos. Bell, Wellington Harlan, and
the officers of Freedmen's Bureau, to

Union men against the rebel regulators.
Gen. Fry is the officer who is Beloved TO
have killed Zollicoffer, and Wellington
Harlan recruited the first company of
Union troops raised in Kentucky dur
ing the war Neither of them are ex-
treme radicals politically, and their
only probable offence are their record
during the war. The rebels hold a
caucus tomorrow to attempt to control
the Democratic Convention. Il Is ex-
pected they will produce a split IN the
Convention between themselves and
the Conservative UnionIIs, and will
nominate a separate ticket with Gen.

NelS York. Feb. 1867.

PENNSYLVANIA is TO have a State
temperance convention in a fortnight.
The temperance folks still have faith in
that State it seems. And yet they can
not boast of any decided triumph. If
anything, drunkenness has really in
creased within the past few years, and
unless some cheap, Notwithstanding
beverage can be devised, like native
wines, which can be popuIarized
amongst our country men, we see but
little hope OF conquering the monster
intemperance. Men will drink some
thing that is stimulant. It's no use to
argue with them. They have always
done it and they always will, in every
nation of the world, savage or civilized.
The wiser plan, therefore. is to modify
what cannot be removed. Get up
American wines and make them so
good and and SO cheap that popular
taste, like the children who SO love
Sherman's lOZenges, will "cry for
them" Do this and you set up at once
a barrier to intemperance far more eff
fectual than all the total abstinence So
cieties in eIistence-though the latter
are, doubtless, praiseworthy associa-
tons. IAN ounce Of prevention is
worth pound of cure" but then a
drachm of common sense is worth an
ounce of passion in conquering mans
habits of self indulgence.

THE Richmond Times, commenting
on the Military bill recently passed in
the House, says:
But as the probabilities are in favor
of this bill being enacted into a law
despite the Presidents veto, we must
again entreat the Legislature to make
the necessary provision for protecting
Virginia against the first attempt of the
authorities at Washington to annihi-
late our State government"
There is something ofthe 'Iast ditchn
in this, but we are inclined to believe
that there viii be no difficulty in

OF Virginia. which the Legislature
may make. One colored regiment
could do it without the loss of man.
