EFFECTS OF RECONsTRUCrIoN.

EFFECTS OF RECONSTRUCTION.
From the Chicago Times.l
Is there any doubt in the minds Of
I thinking people as to the results of the
reconstruction plan fixed upon? The
first important consequence will be the
admission Of some eighty or ninety rep
r~esentatives from the southern states.
Admitted that by any possibility, Of
which there Is not the slightest likeli-
hood, that these representatives will con-
sist of men who have emigrated from the
north, will they not, by the time they
have taken up their homes in the south
and been elected to congress from the
south, have become so identified with
southern interests, as 10 maintain them
to the best of their abilities? Men,
anxious to acquire political position and
power, soon learn TO fall in with the
speediest and most effective means to the
end. Whether the individual candidate
be a " southern loyalist " or a northern
yankee, or q negro, he will have to be
chosen by the vote of q people. That
peoples interest will always be Identical
with free trade, national economy and
an equitable balance Of power. The peO-
pie OF the south will be a southern people,
whether they hail from Illinois, Massa-
chusetts or Nancouver's island. If the
leading men Of the south are, TO all in
tents and purposes, expatriated, they
still have an influence, and il is highly
probable that this influence is increased
in proportion to the deprivation of their
rights. When the people of the
south shall again be allowed to eX-
ercise the right Of suffrage, the voice
Of Robert +. Lee alone would coun-
teract the power ola hundred thousand
votes. Even the newcomers would
have confidence in the men who had
stood by the interests or supposed inter
ests of the people in the day of danger,
albeit, that position was opposed to their
convictions at the time of its necessity.
Man accommodates himself to circum-
stances. And as the man who lives in
the north is in favor Of northern Interests,
50 the same man, moving TO the south,
becomes in favor of southern interests.
disadvantage Oftbe reconstruction, what
ever the plan may be, is ultimately with
the inhabitants Of those states hat are
readmitted into the union. This advan-
tage the leading men of the south will
not hesitate TO use. 1t will open a new
field and furnish new attractions for i'm
migration 3 new impetus will be given
to b trades peculiar 10 the climate
those who determine TO cast their for
tunes at the south will not find any diff
Guilty in mOlding their political princi-
pies in the crucible of interest new-com-
ers will not encounter the opposition and
hatred felt towards them for some time
after the cessation of hOstilities and the
south will again become a great eoh&
mercisl, financial, political and national
power Chicago Times.
Let the LoyalistaShd negroes recon-
struct. The sesults are very well stated
in the foregoing paragraphs. All we
have to do is to remain free 10 take
advantage of circumstances as they arise.

THE MEMPHIS DAILY a

GREELEY. In this it had reference
chiefly to the classes of cases referred to
by the Times, but it was also of opinion
that the corrupt and lavish expenditure ,
Of the party in power would go very far
70 accomplish such a result, even If they
did not drive the country into repudia-
ton.
The plain truth is, that the country is
like an individual who is over head and
ears in debt, and keeps his head above
water by kite flying. 1t owes five thou
sand millions Of dollars, and more too,
if it would settle fairly, and not swindle
It's creditors, as the United States has
always done. Before the war, the Court
! OF Claims was nothing but an invention
to relieve the country from paying just
claims. If all these, including those Of
the Revolution, had always been rec
ognized and settled, the revenue Of the
country e would have been sufficient
to meet interest and expenditures.
Not emily does the Radical Government
resemble an insolvent resorting to all
sortsof desperate shifts and ~expedients
to keep up his credit and maintain the
delusive appearance of wealth, and avoid
being pushed into bankruptcy, b1t it re-
sembles many an insolvent In this, that
the desperate condition of It's affairs
makes it reckless, and It plunges head
long into every kind of speculation and
extraVagant expenditure. What is the
use Of economy, when n owes five or
ten times as much as he can pay? Hence
the provisions for paying %bounties, with
out in the least knowing to what they
are 10 amount. Hence, while Shaving
off, Just claims, and committing acts of
bankruptcy as defined by its own law,
and fraudulently repeating its promise
and pledge of honor to pay loyal owners
Of slaves for their services, and denying
compensation to loyal men for property
taken or destroyed, an addition of 663
per cent. to the compensation Of Mem
bers of Congress, immense ,appropria-
lions for the army, waste, Auandering
and extravaganza everywhere.
The end of the whole thing will OF
course be reputation. ghe country
never can pay the debt; add whenever
the financial crash comes, AZ st soon will,
and taxation begins to grind the people
harder and harder, every negro and nine
tenths of the country voters, especially
the foreigners in the Northwest, will
vote to repudiate. If they do Motif
the interest on the debt continues to be
paid, even without any elimination of
the principal, financial Jeremy-Diddle-
ism will come to grief, and the people of
the North will have abundant season to
repent at leisure that they fought four
years and incurred an intolerable debt,
to reduce ten States to Provinces gov
erned by Military DAspots. They will
find that they pay pretty dear for their

II mARPEKs.

We commend the following, from the
st. Louis RepUJHcGn, to the c~onsidera-
ton of all Southern men and women
who purchase any Of the publications OF
Harper & Brothers:
The Harpers give no money without a
consideration. They reward no author
after the manner of Ticknor i Fields.
But they do perform some very mean
things for money. Their weekly pictO-
rails for many months have been repul-
sive lies and calumnies upon thesouth. In
1861 the same publishers, from motives Of
a~varice, with q view to \ large southern
circulation, travestisd and DETAINED the
republicans in their Weekly. They r
ricatured Lincoln then as they do John
son now, holding him up with the pen
cal of their artist to public d~erision and
mOckery. They pictured Beecher and
the communion table, and Washington,
the father of his country, an object Of
reverence to the world, driven off from
christian association by the fanatic abo-
~litiOnists because he was a stakeholder.
Harper then, for the sake Of gain, held
up the sbolitiOnist TO public e~Xecration.
In the editorials of the Weekly of the
same period, secession was defended
against the right of coercion, and the
south had no more o%utspoken ally in the
north than the Harpers. But the south
ern field was soon shut up by the war.
Harper's profits were diminished, and to
make money, they swallowed all their
old pictorials, eat dirt by the bushel, and
now, to put money in their purse, they
exceed the most truculent political sheets
in the malignity and mendacity of their
attacks upon those whom, tUhile Il paid,
they ~championed and encouraged.
Weekly they offend deoency and truth
by their penciled libels on southern in
dividuals and southern society, on the
president of the republic and his associ-
and friends, not hesit9ting to take
as food for their defematory EDITORIALS the
Of Mr.. Seward, distorted by a
disastrous fall aud by the blows Of the
assassin Payne, to present them for the
sneering laughter of their patrons. There
Is a superstition among men that Gods
curse follows those who mock at the
providential calamities and misfortunes
Of men. The Harpers weekly defy that
curse, regardless Of Gods favor and
esteem.

THE jumping Of a naked fish-tail gas
fame, In response to musical sounds,
was first accidentally observed by Pro-
fess0r LecOmte, of South Carolina, at a
musical party. At a lecture on the sub
ject, lately delivered at the Royal Insti-
tuition Of Great Britain, Professor Tyn-
dali exhibited some extraordinary exper-
iments. He showed q flame of twenty
inches long, which was knocked down
to eight by a very slight tap on a dis
tant anvil. At a distance of twenty
yards the dropping a sixpence from the
height OF couple ofinches into his hand,
containing a few coins, brought the
fame down. 1t ~ sensibly influenced
by the creaking Of boots in walking
across the floor. On speaking to the
flame It jumped at intervals, apparently
picking certain sounds from the utter
anee, to which 1t could respond, while 1t
was unaffected by others.
