LARRY S0t the NecOnStruCtion Law,
HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT,
CHARLESTON S. c., June 19, 1867 {
Hon. Henry WILSON. Chief Military Committee,
United States Senate:
My DEAR SIR 1t is probable, in view
of existing circumstances that Congress
will convene in July. 1t is proper, there
fore. l should inform you that the appro-
priation of $500 900 to execute the Recon
struction acts is altogether inadequate. l
am informed that my estimates for April
and May are less than those OF other Dis
trlct commanders. Indeed, the whole sum
was more than absorbed by the estimates
for May. For the Carolinas ut least $780,
600 will be required.
| have applied to the Navy and Treasury
Departments for certain facilities, which,
In view of the small appropriation, pre-
sumed would be granted, but my requests
have not been faForably considered. I un-
derstand that the Secretary OF the Navy as
signed rs his reason that no aid must be
expected from that department in the exc
cutlOn OF the Reconstruction acts of Con-
gress The Secretary of the Treasury ex-
pressed his desire to do all he could, but
did not feel at liberty to make any dis
bnrselnents for objects not precisely within
the jurisdiction of his Department.. 1t is
usual, L believe when the appropriation for
an object authorized by Congress is INSULT
cient to make the necessary expenditures
and trust to a deficiency bill, " but in the
execution OF these acts this course will be
impracticable, inasmuch as the principal
disbursements are for the services of per
sons whe depend upon their pay for sup
port L have the honor to suggest for your
consideration, and of your colleagues as
well, that the interests Of the public ser.
vice require without delay further appro
priation to execute the acts of Congress fol
the government of the rebel States. Very
respectfully,
.. Z. SICK1Es,
Major General Commanding.

VIM Belts had been the accepted lover OF

come tired of him and preferred another.
Belts went to her house last Sunday night
and saw rival kiss Sarah at the gate. He
drew a revolver, and as she turned and ran
to the house, fired three shots at her, with
out hitting her. Gaining the front door
she rushed into the house and locked the
door. He pursued her, dashed himself
against the door, forced it open, rushed in
to the room in which she had retreated,
and fired at her another shot. The ball
penetrated vital spot, passing IN at the
back, and she fell to the floor dead. The
murderer rushed again to the open air,
down through the yard, over fences and
fields, halted suddenly, placed the muzzle
of the pistol against his head, discharged
the remaining cartridge, and blew his
brains out.

The Plan Of the Washington Library Co

Of Philadelphia, for the endowment of the
Riverside institute for Soldiers and Sailors
Orphans, is one that has been. laid out in
strict accordance with the terms of the char
ter as granted for this purpose by the lsgis-
lature of Pennsylvania. This charter of the
Washington Library Company legalizes the
very acts that its mem bers are now perform
ing for this noble object. The plan, as
most of our readers are aware, consists in
selling stock at 81 per share, each share or
shares being aceompanieds by a handsome
fine stee-plate engraving, worth ffty per
cent more than is actually paid for the stock.
Besides this, every share of stock secures
one present in the great distribution of pres
ents to shareholders. Of these presents the
aggregate value is $500, 200, one of them be-
ing worth the enormous sum of $4,000,
another $40, 600, another $4,000, and one
worth $4,000, and two worth $2.500 each,
several worth 81 900 each, and SO on. This
is simply the plan in brief as adopted and
presented to the public. Every shareholder
will obtain some present in the great distri
| button, besides the beautiful engraving al
the time of purchase, and each one has an
equal chance of getting a small fortune.

1t appears the city of Richmond carried
by the radicals, which is, simply, the negro vote.
There was severe contest in the city, and prob
ably considerable Illegal voting. Only some
fifty whites voted the Radical ticket, and about
the same number of negroes voted the conserve
tive ticket.-Roek Istaaa d Moline UHion, asa.
This, though probably not intended as
the radical military rule which places the
intelligent white people of the south under
the brutal control of ignorant plantation ne
groes. @
The polls were kept open all night, in
Richmond, and the conduct of the negroes
was most shocking. A telegram says:
Tho whites were crowded out, and riotous dis
turbances became frequent among the excited
multitude, which required the aid of the military
frequently to quell. az
But there is no intimation that the whites
had a chance to vote. The military only
interferes On the negro side
The truth is that the negroes under the
order of their radical white masters from the
north, drove the white people away from the
polls. Hundreds of negroes did not know
their names, and we presume hundreds Of
names were on the registry of persons who
had no existence but the telegraph said;
"a negro will be found for every name the
registration list. They have been brought in
from the country, to-day, and mere will be to-
morrow. The result will be the success of the
Hunnieut (radicaD ticket"
They were drought in from the country,
and the telegraph says "the polls swarmed
all night with negroes" who thought they
had come to get deed of 40 acres of land
and a mule, and many of them brought along
a halter with which to take the mule home
And yet the Union wants these brutes to
vote, and don't think the .Dutch, Irish
