Congress have been elected in every Dstrictofth
Stats hysweeping majorities, in al but the two
mountain Districts the Eighth and Ninth-which
were represented in the last Congress by Randall

a July 81 srslroN OF CONGRESS-.

Tho Indications of every development upon the
part the leading Radicals of tho extreme school,
leave not shadow Of q doubt upon the mind that
every effort will be nude to secure a session of
Congress in July. In order TO impress upon their
supporters thu Importance of shis meeting. the
stormy hue and cry of impeachment has grown
considerably in magnitude since the release upon
bond Sf r. Davis, qnd tits deemed important that
other ofieors of the Government, as well as the
Presideaf jpstly deserve being hurled from their
positions, their actions Of justice, reason
should again guide and influence the people. In
addition to the impeachment question they claim
thai the financial condition Of the country impera-
tirely demauds immediate Legislation. 1t is,how-
eyer, evidently clear that unless the character Of
the legislation is materially changed from that
Rhieh. has characterized the Congress since the
termination of the late war, that it will only hasten
10 that vortex ofdilaster and consequent ruin. so
Justice and interest are alike ie
u6rsd in the saactrent Of laws for the government.

leading Radical papers now represent many
members Congress as fevoring the. session: in

WHAT WE NEED.

AT a time lke9this, with the impoverished condi-
ton Of our country, and its wasted resources it is
,unfortunate that We ara likely to be drifted into
such a political excitement as seems now almostin
jeyitable Every man who can hold: the ploWHor;
drive;5is now needed every aay; to push forward
with active energy, Che agricultural interests of the
country develop those resources SO indispen-
SADLY necessary for the restoration of former
perity. Il these interests are disrsgarded, and
during the precious moments of the snnraer
months our fields are neglected, and our WORK
abandoned, to secure attendance on sundry occa-
sions for political purposes, our harvest Will not
only be meagre, but during the coming year we
shall hear the same wailing cry Of suffering and
want. which 80 often reach our ears. While we
utterly dsayow any intention of ntimidating those
who who would aspire to tae leadership of their
fellow citizens, and while ne believe every reasona
BILE effort to obtain information and devise plans
looking the ultimate good Of the community are
altogether commendable, yet, it is evidently snre
that We need work-that industry and energy
tural home interests-infnitely more than we need
the agitation. and excitement Of politics in our
midst:
: The plea upon the part Of those who claim to be
the benefactors of the sable sons of Africa in our
midst, that these meetings, and that this general
political missionary work, among the freedmen
paricularyis is necessary for their instruction, and
for their preparation to act well their part in the
new duties dev0lying upon them in their recently
invested citizenship, is altogether too shallow and
fallacious to require even a passing notice. The
interests of the Republican party can alone be sub
served by these MEANS while division, strife, neg
lect of business, with its consequent want and in
creased poverty, win be the only inheritance which
the people of our once sunny South will gather
from tile wreck
The interests Of white and colored alike, and ne
might say the salvation of our country, depends
upon the proper end energetic working of our
farms this year. It therefore, the highest duty
of patriotism and che strongest evidence of interest
in the common prosperity of the country ut large,
that we not only decline to raise, but that We obyi
ate every unnecessary political question, and thus
quiet as far as possible, all political excitement,
that there be nothingto divert unnecessarily, the
minds of our laboring population, from these great
interests. 80. !. .

THOSE ENTITLED TO THE ELECTIVE FRAN.
rrYTar 49,,


The preliminary order to registration in this
State has been issued. The Supreme Court has
dismissed the bills fled to enoin proceedings un-
der the Reconstruction Act. This is therefore o
fixed fact. There is no longerany appeal from its
operation 1t is important, therefore to ascertain
exactly who are entitled to- register their names
as voters in this commonwealth. The laws of
the Stale are of course in force except as modified
by the Act of Congress. We must look, therefore,
to the terms of the Act in order to determine WHO
can exercise the elective franchise This has not
been left in doubt. Nor has it been committed to
the discretion of any military commander. Con-
gress hos reserved this power to ITSELF and has
the Supplemental Act placed this question at rest
The registration is to be nude of al male citi
zens of the United States twenty years of ag,
and upwards, who are residents of the State
This is the general class But of those who an.
swer to this description certain number ore ex
ceptcd. All are entitled, except those who are
prohibited by the Act Unless so prevented, their
right to suffrage is confirmed, and must be unds
puted.
The exceptions are:
/. Those who have been by the laws Of their
State disfranchised for participation in the late
civil war against the United States. There is no
such law in this commonwealth and therefore the:e
are none within its borders to whom this exceo-
tion applies.
q Those who are DISTINGUISHED for felony, az
cor1ing to the common or statute law. This refer,
to convicts.
g. Members of any State Legislature, or the
Executive or Judicial officers of any State who
haye engaged in the late conflict on behalf of the
Conf States, or given aid and comfort t.,
them.
a. Members of Congress, officers of the United
States, members of State Legislatures and E1ecu-
tive and Judicial officers of any State, who, in
these various capacities, have taken On oath o!
office to support the Constitution of the United
States and afterwards participated in the recent
contest.
These comprise with minuteness all of the e1-
cluded. The restrictions so plain that the on
ly surprise is that there should have been any
room for any other view. Some of the military
commanders have undertaken to put their will in
the place of the Military Act. They have con
strucd in some instances the language in such o
way as very nearly to defeat its whole intent, and
to result in the dislranchsement, not only of the
classes mentioned, but majority of the. white
race
The reference of this whole matter, therefore,
to Attorney General Stanberry, for his opinion, is
both wise and proper. This will place its true in
terest beyond surmise, caprice OF discretion. A
positive construction will be obtained, instead of
shifting rule in various States-we will have q
certain guide and uniform law.
1t is WE'LL therefore, both for the ruler. and the
ruled, that the judgment of the highest legal ad'
wiser of the Government thould be obtained
