WHAT FoR?-Capt. Robinson, Mr.. Mixter
and Mayor Trusdale have gone to Spring
field. viii they urge Senator Webster to
pass the chart for the poor heirs of John
Wilson, and thus deprive the city of any rev

city will SOON be able to see what strong
party pressure is being brought to bear to
deprive them of their rights in the ferry

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Reverdy
johnson had long interview with the
President, yesterday, in the course o.
which the former entered into a JUST
ficatory explanation of his late course
apparently in opposition to the policy
of the President.
The impeachment question was also
discussed during the audience, but
with what result or with the express
sion Of what opinions or feelings, has
not transpired upon anything like au-
thonty.
Gen. Grant is known to have ex-
pressed the strongest opinion in favor
of the course which Reverdy johnson
has pursued, and to have declared that
he is the man for the occasion.
Gen. Grant, has also been authenti-
cally stated to have expressed the de-
liberate opinion that the military bill
will conferno moro power on the mill
tary than they already possess under
he civil rights bill.
RobertJ. Walker has written a let
'er to the President strongly advising

hIun Oounr Ur Aannvho AND Ar
EALs.--We publish elsewhere an opin-
ion of this tribunal, delivered on Sat
urday last, and so constituting the re-
cent act of the Legislature in reference
thereto, as that causes originating in
any one district shall be heard and
determined at sitting of the Court
in any other District. The Clerk, for
instance, when he goes to Oxford, is
required to take with him all the re-
cords of the Courts pertaining to that
and the three other districts formed by
the act 1t was certainly not the in
tention of the Legislature to leave any
room for such a construction; but
the act is clearly susceptible of it, to
say nothing of the constitutional OBJ
jections indicated in the opinion of the
Court.

Much INSTRUMENTATION exists as d

the true meaning of the recent SO
called Demonstration Bill" 1t does
not abolish the Southern State Gov
ernments, as some imagine, though
it confers upon military commanders
assigned to the several districts created
under it, the power to override their
legislation, and to substitute military
commissions for civil tribunals
when they shall deem such action ne
cessary to the protection Of "the rights
of person and property, to suppress
instruction" DC, &c.
If we mistake not, the military au-
thorities have, in several instances in
this State, set aside the acts of the
Legislature since the existence of the
provisional government; and the same
power has been exercised repeatedly
in other States
A very material feature Of the bill
is contained in the clause that no per-
son shall be eligible to any Office
under these State Governments "who
would be disqualified from holding
office under the provision of the 3rd
article of the proposed constitutional
amendment" which is in these Words
"Who having previously taken an
oath as member of Congress, or as
an officer of the United States, or as a
member of any State Legislature, or as
an executive or judicial officer of any
STATE, to support the constitution of
the United States, shall have engaged
in insurrection or rebellion against
the same, or given aid or comfort to
the enemies thereof"
The military control will cease
when the following conditions are
complied with:
The holding of convention to
form new Copsdftutlon.
The "peeple" competent to vote for
the convention, or to serve as mem
Ders, are defined to be the male cit
liens of whatever race, color, or up
wards, who have been residents Tor
one year previous to the day Of cleo I
ton, except such as may be disfran-
chised for participation in the rebel
lion or felony at common law"
The constitution framed by the con-
vention must prescribe the same quail
Ification for the elective franchise as
are prescribed by Congress for choos-
ing the convention.
1t must then be ratified by major
ty of the same electors. Congress
must thus approve of the same.
A legislature being chosen under the
'ame must ratify the constitutional
amendment, now pending.
When this is all done, and the same
lrticle of amendment shall have be-
'ome part of the constitution of the
United States, the State shall be de-
dared entitled to representation pro-
'ided subsequent Congress, in the
meantime, does not repeal the law,
nd submit some other "plan."

PTNEY WOODS INFHRMARY.

Theadvertisement of DIR. NASH, in the Plea
yune, of his INFIRMARY at Magnolia, deserves
at least, notice of Recommendation from eV-
cry one whose life has been prolonged, if the
disease (Cancer) has not been entirely eradica-
ted, by the treatment of Dr. NASH.
Whilst at his Infirmary, witnessed the sue
cess with which he treated others for Cancers,
in various forms, and also saw several persons
who had been cured of Cancer, Gotre, etc.
On recent visit to the Infrmary, saw two
gentlemen from New Orleans, whom the Doc
tor is treating for cancer in the mouth, with q
fair prospect of success; and / was pleased to
learn from him, that his practice Is large, and
increasing, for he is not only deserving of the
confidence and patronage of the afflicted, but I
feel assured that those suffering from CANCER
will be RELIEVED, if not entirely cured, by his
treatment

In another article we have sugges-
ted the bare possibility that the Pres
ident will refuse to execute the militia
ry bill if carried over his veto; but
candidly, we think there is scarcely
the shadow of ground for such belief
On this subject, contemporary says
The question ofthe constitutionality
of the bill cannot be brought before
the supreme court before next winter,
and probably could not be decided
until late in the spring of 1865. Con
gress has already asserted its intention
to reorganize the court and TO enact
such laws for its government as win
efiectually prevent that tribunal from
materially obstructing the advance
ment ofthe projects OF the ruling par
ty, and should the court decide the |
bill to be uneonstitutiOnal-of which /
there can be no doubt-all matters
then relating TO the admission Of the
South would be LEFT precisely where
they were at the date Immediately pre-
ceding the passage Of the bill. The
whole subject OF reconstruction would
be again open and form the principal
issue in the next Presidential election.
