war:
1892 cannon, Il, 1877 artillery carriages,

DtA- The Louisville Journal gives the
following abstract of the. reconstruction
scheme, which is opportune at the pres
ent moment:
Congress provides; First-for re.
gsiration of the voters in the Southern
States, and this, we believe, has taken
place in all of them. Second-for an
election in which the registered voters
are to vote for or against a Constitu.
tional State Convention, and at the same
time for delegates to it in case of its
being held. Such elections have, as
stated above, been held in several
Southern States, that is, in four
Of them, fifth is voting through.
out the present week, and the days for
the voting of four of the remaining five
have been ordered. Third-if major
ity Of the registered voters in any State
vote for State Convention, the military
commander of the District within which
the State lies must appoint the meeting
of the convention within sixty days after
the election, the body to consist of as
many members as there are Legislative
Districts in the State. Fourth-when
the convention meets, it must frame a
constitution and civil government ac-
cordiDg to the reconstruction acts of
Congress. Those acts require that the
constitution framed shall be in con-
formily with the Constitution of the
United States in, al respects, and shall
ordain general suffrage. Fifth-when
the convention OF State shall have
finished its work, the amended constitu.
ton framed by it shall be submitted to
the registered voters Of the State at an
election, Of which thirty days notice is
to be given by the convention. Sixth
at this election, at least half the re-
gistered voters must vote in order to ma ke
it valid and, if a majority Of those
voting ratify the new constitution, the
President of the Convention shall trans
init certified copy of it to the Presi dent
of the United States, who shall send il
at once to Congress Seventh-Con-
gress is to scrutinize the constitution,
and elso, if it sees fit, the election at
which it was adopted. Eighth-If Con.
gress approves both the Constitution and
the election, State Legislature shall
adopt the proposed Constitutional
Amendment known as Article fourteenth
Ninth-When. the amendment is thus
adopted, military interference is to
cease, and the States shall be declared
entitled to representation in Congress-"
and Senators and Representatives are to
be admitted, on their taking the pre-
scribed oaths.
We do earnestly hope that most of the
Southern States will repudiate the whole
reconstruction business, and we confess
that our hope is growing stronger and
stronger.

I6r A correspondent of the New York
Herald, who has travelled through
Southwestern Virginia, says that every
negro cabin contains a rife or revolver,
and in deserted churches, barns and
school-houses, negroes are nightly drilled,
with guards mounted, to prevent intru :
sion or discovery. He witnessed mid
night drill, in which over 100 negroes
were engaged. The whites are fearful
of negro outrages, and appear to be in
great terror.

t9rIn England, during the past thirty
three years, 1854 persons have been SEN
teneed to death, 66s Of them for murder,
aud the balance for other crimes that were
few years ago punished in that country
with death. The greatest annual number
Of SENTENCES for murder was ihiriy-one
in 1856, and the SMALLEST vas nins IN
1888. Since 1862 only one murder has
been punished with death in England,
and Of the above reported death sen r
tenees, but comparatively small pro-
portion have been executed
