What Richmond Mus. DO.

THROUGH AND UNDROKEN FREIGHTs.-
Arrangements have recently been perfect
ed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company by which freights from Cincin-
natl, Columbus, Louisville, Chicago, St.
Louis, and other points west, northwest,
and southwest are shipped through with
ont breaking bulk-an advantage which
shippers will readily understand. Under
this arrangement two cars reached Cam
den station on Saturday morning last, di-
rect from Chicago. After discharging their
contents, the cars were again loaded with
freight exclusively for Chicago, and
promptly dispatched for that point by the
Lightning Express Line of the Baltimore
and Ohio company.

Reconstruction.

WASHINGTON, July l5.-The President
sent to the Senate to-day the documents
called for regarding reconstruction. He
estimates the expense Of carrying out
these bills at $4,000, 900, in addition to the
s2,lOO,OOO already expended. This is the
aggregate for governing these States
before the war. This sum, continues
the President, would be considera-
bly, augmented if the State ma
chinery be overruled by the Federal Co.
vernment, and would be largely increased
if the United States, by abolishing State
governments, should become responsible
for liabilities incurred by them before the
rebellion in their laudable efforts to de-
vclop their resources, and nowise connect
ed with insurrectionary purposes. These
debts will approximate 500, 100000, the
greater part of which is due loyal citizens
and foreign subjects. 1t is subject for
congressional consideration whether the
assumption of such obligations would
not impair the national credit.
This correspondence showed, among
other things, that General Ord asked and
obtained permission from the Secretary Of
War to confne horse-t thieves at the Dry
Tortugas. General Grant approves sug,
gestion from General Pope that Confede.
rates who oppose the congressional recon,
struction acts violate the terms of their
parole.
General Ord complains Of difficulty in
finding loyal men in Mississippi qualified
for registrars.

LETTER FROM GENERAL GRANT TO GENE
RAJ ORD.-The following letter, among
others, was sent to the House Of Repre-
sentatives on Friday, in obedience to re-
solution of that body requiring all CORE
spondence relating to the execution Of the
military bill:
June 23.-Brevet Major General L. o..
C. Ord, Commanding Fourth District ::
General, "A copy of your final instruc-
tons to the Board Of Registration of June
10, 1867, is Just received.S entirely dis
sent from the views contained in para
graph four, Your views as to the duties
of registers to register every man who will
take the required oath, though they may
know the applicant perfumes himself, is
sustained by the views Of the Attorney
General. My opinion is that it is the duty
of the board Of registration to see, so far
as it lies in their power, that no unautho-
rized person is allowed to register. To
secure this end, registers should be al
lowed to administer oathS and examine
witnesses. The law, however, makes the
district commanders their own interpreters
of their power and duty, and, in my OPT
Mon, the Acknowledgement or myself can
no more than give our opinion as to the
meaning of the law. Neither can enforce
their views against the judgment Of those
made responsible fer the faithful eXecu-
ton of the law, the district commanders.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant:
L. S. GRANT, General.

RICH BILLY, OR FORTUNE IN DAY.
The most remarkable case within our re-
collection was before the Justices of
Mecklenburg on Tuesday. Mr.. John V.
Wilkins, just before his death a few weeks
since at the White House, handed pack
age to q colored man named Billy with the
request that he should keep it. Billy un-
derstood that this package (Which, upon
examination after Wilkins's death in the
presence Of white person, was found to
contain check on one of the Richmond
banks for $4,000 and about 500 in green
backs) eoas q gift. Wilkins left no. will.
A demand was made on Billy for the miss
ing package, which he refused to give up,
whereupon he was arraigned upon charge
of larceny. The case was sent to the
County Court for further hearing. Billy
says he had waited on Wilkins for forty
years, and it was but natural that he
should receive compensation. The rela-
tivcs contend that on his death bed Wiki
ms merely handed the package to Billy
for safe-keeping.- ClarhSuiNe Tobacco

tinued, would have carried him to Canada.

FLOUR AND WHEAT IN New YORK;
Prices Of flour have taken another upward
turn. Family hours have advanced nearly
or quite dollar barrel in the past three
days. The medium grades are fifty cents
higher, and some grades Of wheat have adj
vanced twenty cents per bushel. This
course Of prices seems to be. due to the
fact that receipts Of southern wheat have
thus far fallen far below expectations
amounting to only few hundred bushels
daily, while the stock OF tho better grades
of flour and wheat have been reduced to a
very small cOmpaSs.

Pay the Public Debt.

The proposition to pay the national debt
immcdiately-all in greenbacks-is meet
ing with general and universal favor. The
following, from the Washington (Ohio)
Register, is fair specimen Of the voice of
the country press. 1t says:
We are in favor Of paying Off the pub
lie debt in grcenbacks. If they are good
enough for the farmers, mechanics, and
business men of the nation, why are they
not good enough for the rich men Of the
country? If the public debt was paid off
in greenbaclls, the entire wealth Of the
country would be brought upon the tax
duplicate, and every man would be re-
quired to pay taxes according to his wealth.
There would be no rich men exempt from
taxation, while drawing interest in gold on
Government bonds, while the masses of
the people were doing business with q rag
currency. The nation would save mil
lions every year in interest, and millions
more in premiums upon gold wherewith
to pay interest to bondholders. The taxes
of the people would be lessened, and all
the greenbacks destroyed by accident or
other cause would inure to the benefit Of
the Government. Pay the public debt i'm
mediately-pay it in greenbacks, and let
all citizens have the same kind of money
and all pay taxes alike. Is not that fair
Ifit is, vote for the men who
will pay the public debt, lessen your taxes,
and abolish the bondholders' aristocracy!
This is the Democratic plan Of relieving
the people from taxation and paying off the
national debt"
