prosperity until it's dug out Of the ground
is forepone conclusion, and tlrs indse,
mens OF high prices warrant the beI.i
that every man will do his best
II is also gratifying TO learn from ou,
exchanges, that from MaryIsnd, Vi,ginia
and North Carolina, the prospects Az
good. A Louisville paper says that In
Ohio, Ksntucky and Tennessee" slso, h.
wheat crop is. more extensive than 10 usu
ally seen, and promises an abuhdsn,
yield. In Illinois the wheat looks finslv
eet,er than during the corresponding sea
son for several years. The cereal crop
in Texas, Of WHICH an unusually large
breadth has been planted, are looking
splsndidly, and ths planters anticipate
the bigges, hasves, they evor had.
We believe that almost the entire fruit
crop, IT, this immediate section, has beet
killed by the late irosts.

passed, called the military bill and the
supplements! bill, Auo-ncy-Gsners!
Stapberry suggested that as 1t Was case
involving the original jurisdiction OF the
Court, the motion, in the first place, should
be for leave to file the bill. Judge ShRr.
key ac1uissced, and said the counsel for
the State Of Mississippi would now make
the motion for leave TO file the bill, and
we're now, ready to atgus. The Attorney
General said lie contended that the bill,
in so f.r a. il purported to make the
President party defendant, as in effect 4
sui, against The United States, he would,
therefore, object to leave being given by
the Court TO file the bill and he furthef
stated that be also was ready now TO 90
into argument Of the motion. The Chief
Justice, after consultation, stated that tho
motion for leave 10 file the bill might be
made and put OF the motion docket /; but

it would not be heard uptil tho ne1t rsgu.

Commenting on this the Madison Josr-
nal says
Last year Congress submitted plan
OF reconstruction of the most lenient and
forbearing character. Under. the advice
Of Mr.. johnson it was spurned by the
Southern people. The result has been
the adoption. by Congress. Of anoffei'
plan. which supplements the former BY
giving suffrage to the freedmen In this
plan Of reconstruction, although high
ly dlstasteful to portion Of them the
people Of the South were manifeseing
disposition to acquiesce. and TO secure re-
presentation in Congress and a participa
ton in the next presidential election by
compliance with 1t. when Mr.. johnson,
armed with the opinion of his Attorney
General, again steps in and threatens
once more to Indefinitely postpone the
settlement so urgently demanded by the
true interests OF all sections. 1t IS not
surprising, under these circumstances,
that rejecting men at the South, whatev-
er they may think of the President mo-
tives, begin to understand that he is the
real obstacle in the way of restoration and
harmony, and that his friendship is far
more detrimental to the Southern people.
than the alleged hostility of the Radicals. -
