The tendency of public feeling all over the
South is manifestly ia favor Of being what we
call reconstructed; that is, accepting the terms
proposed by Congress as means Of coming
into the Union, taking their place as States in
Congress and exercising such influence a.
their numerical representation may command.
We learn from Virginia that the Legislature of
that State, for examrsc, has received, with
general satisf:: So..iion the order Of General
Schoheld assuming command under the new
Military bill. From Georgia, North and South
Carolina, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama,
we also hear that the late secessionists are be-
coming convinced that the vote Of the negroes
will be rather favorable than hostile to
their particular views of reconstruction. The
papers generally throughout the South appear
to adopt our plan for the Presidential candi-
dacy in 1868, with the names Of General
Grant and General Lee on the ticket for Presi-
dent and Vice President That is the most
sensible thing they could do. There lie spell
in such combination which will unite both
North and South and bring our complications
to a speedy issue. In that single sentence
there is more to assure foreign nations that the
end Of our existing inharmonious condition
and the solutions of our troubles can be
reached than in the most logical arguments
that could be used.
And now that the question of reconstruction
is approaching a settlement, when slavery, the
primary cause of the rebellion, is abolished,
and the rebellion has gone with it to the tomb
Of the Capulets, and the Southern States are
on the road to accept the inevitable necessities
of the hour, what is the use of retaining the
leader of the rebellion in custody any longer
JEFF Davis is perfectly harmless. He can do
no mischief if set at large on his parole to
answer any charges that may be brought
against him. Congress should, therefore, pass
q resolution requesting the President to release
him. Such a measure conld do no possible
harm. On the contrary it would do much to
encourage the good spirit which, in spite 0
the remnant of political fre-eaters left in the
South, is evidently now beginning to prevail
there

According to rumor the Broadway surface
road and three or four crosstown affairs are
the real jobs that are to be passed by the Legie-
lature out Of the multitude of railroad schemes
that have been introduced this session. The
underground bills may also be "put through
but with no idea that an attempt will be made
to carry out the crazy schemes, and only for
the purpose Of stopping opposition to the real
Simon pure, original Jacobs This Broadway
Surface bill is one of the most impudent and
atrocious attempts ever made by the lobby to
secure an enormously valuable franchise at
the expense of the city. It is to be pushed at
Albany, we understand, by the most corrupt
means. and not member of either House who
votes for it can expect to keep his skirts clear
Of the mud and impurity that sticks to the job
and renders it publicly offensive. The bill
should be kicked out of the Legislature like an
unclean thing, as it is, and if passed should be
promptly vetoed by the Governor. A bill
which even Seymour could not make up his
mind to sign for his New York Attends" is
not very likely to meet the approval of Fenton

Issue Before the People.
The good people Of Connecticut have reason
to be proud Of the record Of their State. To
their colonial ancestors belongs the honor OF
the first example in history since the time Of
Moses, the great lawgiver OF Israel, Of written
constitution Q639) organizing government
and defining its powers. 1t formed the basis
Of the charter Of 1862, and its leading features
have been copied into the constitutions Of the
several States and of the United States Those
founders of Connecticut were among the best
of the old Puritan stock Of New England. They
were men of broad and liberal views, far above
that fanatical, religious clique Of the colony OF
Massachusetts, Bay which delighted in hanging
Quakers and drowning witches, in what they con-
sdered the service Of the Lord. The Connec-
ticut charter Of 1862 declares that the true OBJ
ject Of human government is "to maintain and
preserve the moral and civil welfare Of the
people = and it established on this continent
the broad principles of freedom, political
equality and the sovereignty of the people.
The seeds thus planted and taking root in
Connecticut have widened in their growth
until their rlpening fruits OF liberty and politi-
cal equality cover the whole land, from the
Canadian to the Mexican frontier, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. That terrible
blot upon our national constitution, African
slavery, has been eifaced, and mainly through
that persistent New England abolition agita-
ton fifty years, starting from the great prin-
ciples Of religion, morality and equal justice
upon which the fundamental colonial law Of
Connecticut was founded. We repeat then,
that her people, inheriting these distinctions
and these great principles Of their ancestors,
have reason to be proud Of the record Of their
State, the first Of any people to fix in written
political constitution the primary and para
mount obligations oftruth, morality and liberal

, moditiss Throwing these personal con-
siderations aside. the country would be
materially advanced and prospered by the
change. Eastern men we believe have but
a vague, underlined idea Of the undevcloped
wealth Of Colorado So far, in its history,
mining has been confined to gold, and to a,
limited extent, silver mining the lead
copper and coal being heretofore almost
unnoticed, owing to the high price oftrans-
portation.s Latterly coal has been worked
to a limited extent. With the exception.
of few miles around the towns and cities,
the forests still remain heavy growth in
most places, of spruce, pine and a few 9th,
er trees, affording fuel and lumber for many.
years to come. But coal will soon enter
into competition with wood, owing to the
more convenient transportation. Aslabor
and transportation cheapens, lead and cop
per mining will become remunerative, ad-
ding materially to the wealth, prosperity
and Importance of the territory and nation.
Colorado has within itself undeveloped
wealth that would enrich empires; it only
awaits tho unerring hand of destiny.
American enterprise and speculation will
astonish the world with its vast mineral
productions, when scientific and system
ahc mining shall supersede the wild spirit
of speculation which has hitherto governed
our mining interests. aes

RAILROAD TO SuN PRAInIE,-The Madison
Journal says: 'In Milwaukee last week,
we were Informed, from what scemedlgoed
authority, that it is the determination Of
the railroad managers to build the link OF
road from Sun Prairie to this city, during
the coming summer. That estimates have
been made, as to the saving that would ac-
cruc from the shortening of distance by
the building of this road, and that the
amount would be so large as to render the
improvement eertain from the fact that il
would prove profitable to the railroad com
pany. We trust this will be the result, as
that link Of road would prove great ad-
vantage to the business convenience of both
Milwaukee and Madison" @
