Reconstruction In Alabama,

The Virginia and Georgia papers are filled with
discussions on the Military Bill, and with accounts
of public meetings held to consider tie same.
North Carolina also seems to be stirring, and even
Alabama is now being heard of For the ipforma-
tiol of our readers we copy the following from the
Montgomery Advertiser:
II will be seen By reference to our dispatches
that, Notwithstanding the bold and powerful veto
message Of the President, both houses of Congress
have passed the Military Bill by tho reouisite two
thirds majority for the measure to become lsW
This action puts an entirely new face upon affairs,
requiring the calmest consideration and wisest &C
even worse calamties than the passage Of this bill
would indicate. The responsibility for o measure
40 faught with evil to the country does not lie at
our doors, and We should bs careful that We do all
in cur power to pluck the e flower safely from the
hope, that the Supreme Court Of the Unit
ed States may declare the law null and
void before it's pernicious principles become
engrafted upon, the body ,poItic-and no
but let us not forg ct that it is now law Of the
land, and that if we expect the protection which
the law itself guarantees it is our imperative duty
to yield graceful not cheerful obedience to it's
provisions Until repealed or set aside by compe-
grace We can to what we cannot help and make
the most Of circumstances which We cannot avoid,
is it seems to u.s. the only alternative left us; and
as IN initiatory movement in the right direction,
we suggest that Governor Patton at once call the
Legislature together to take such action as the oc-
casion demands.
Now that tho bill is law and will, in all human
probability, be put into operation with or without
our cooperation, it would look like sheer madness
for Che true people of the State to stand back and
let their places be usurped by those unfriendly to
them. Prompt action Of the regular authorities
Of the State may prevent much confusion and do
great good.

J. P. BENJAMIN IN THE ENGLISH CoURTs.-The
numerous friends Of this gentleman will peruse
with much satisfaction the following reference to
his great success as an advocate in the English
courts. We copy from Liverpool journal:
very GratJfying.-In a case in the Court Of E1-
complimented Mr.. Benjamin formerly Secretary
Of state to the Confederate States, and but lately
admitted to the English Barr or 1is very able ar
gument, and remarked that it - very satisfactory
TO tho Court to find that the view Which they took
of tho question entirely agreed with the opinion OF
Mr. Justice Story, who was 80 we'll acquainted with
the cotton tlado Of both North and South America.
Tho case was that tho defendant had ordered from
tho plaintitf one hundred bales Of cotton. This
number was sont, with tho intmaton, however, that
five were not according to order, and that II he
objected to these five, they would take them oil
his hands, and he would have to pay for only IS.
Tho defendant rejected the whole, on the ground
that his order had not been complied with; but at
the trial the jury found fer the plaintiffs, damages
1443l. 9s. Cd. The verdict was subsequently set
aside. MIR. Quain, @. c., and Mr. Benjamin now
showed cause against the rule. They contended
that there had been faithful compliance with the
order and llr. Benjamin referred to O dictum ot
Mr. Justice Story, in which that eminent authority
supposed case Of this Sort and held that th7
order had been fulfilled, though the exact amount
of cotton had not boon supplied. The Court unani.
mously found for the plaintiffs, and the rule was
discharged.
A compliment from Lord Chief Baron Of the
Court of Exchequer, and especially from one sc
distinguished as Sir F1rzRoY KELLY, is rare and
therefore q very high tribute to lawyer.

RELIEF FOB THE DEsT1TgT.-We are happy to
learn that our esteemed fellow-citzen, DR.. j. f. e.
Mittag, who has been exerting himself for the
relief Of the destitute OF this district, and who is
now at the North operating in their behalf, has
awakened a asympathy in that quarter that promises
good results: A friend informs us that about two
hundred and fifty bushels Of corn has arrived at
We understand that this is donation made by the
citizens of Newbern, N. @. More upon this point

the day on Monday last considerable number of
persons attended the Sherif's sales. A few tracts
Of land we're disposed Of under the Sheriffs ham
mer, bringing exceedingly low figures. One tract
Of about ninety acres broughtin the neighborhood
Of seventy dollars; another of one hundred and
eight acres was bid off at one hundred and five
dollars all cash, in specie. These sales wers hard
" test Of either the marketable value Of the
property or the state of the money market, as
there was no effort made, in either case, to carry
the property above the amount of the debt for
which it was levied; and it is reasonable to sup
pose that friends intervened to purchase the prop
erty for it's former owncrs.-I6id.

date of Feb. 13:-
just a few hasty lines to announce that Count
Bismarck and the five great generals Of tho dis
tinguished by national reward-the Conservative
candidates of Berlln-have sustained signal de-
feat ut the poll. In each Of the six metropolitan
wards the Liberals gained the day Count Bis

Henen Dunckcr, the publisher # the Democratic
Voiks Zeituag; Schulze, the founder of the labor

men who led Prussia into brilliant war, and rails
ed her name among the peoples, should, by the
capital of the State they exalted have been refused
scat in the very Assembly which is to crown and

transpired, 1t appears that none OF them got hall
many votes as fell to the lot oil the Liberal

result Of the domestic policy pursued for the last
few months.
In nearly all the cities from which intelli gcncc

If Mr.. LINCOLN was o saint on earth, and we
don't gainsay it, certainly the odor Of sanctity did
not extend to all his household. From debate in
Congress on Saturday, confined very much to Re
publicans, it seems somebody did take away ninety
full boxes from the White House, and ran up bills
without authority of law. Mr. FARNswoRTH an
Illinois member, as in duty bound to an absent
and fair constituent came to the rescue, and made
the remarkable statement that ssmost Of the boxes
we're bouquet boxes sent to officers in the army -
But he did not say whether the boxes were full or
empty. Then followed the following pleasant COL
loquy, which illustrated what set clustered round
the ''lamented LINCOLN" Let it be remembered
these are chiefly Republicans:
Mr.. Radford said he had not relied on mere
newspaper reports, but on the authority Of the
steward Of the White House, who packed the
trunks with the different kinds Of goods. He said
that more than thirty thousand dollars of the
debtedness and for goods that had been carried
away in those trunks.
Mr.. Farnsworth-Not at all. By no manner of
means.
MIR. Radford-I assert it here and T defy con-
tradiction
Mr. Farnsworth- Where did you see the testi-
mony Of the steward.
MI. Radford-I had the statement from his own
mouth.
ALr. Farnsworth- had the steward to testify
before the Committee on Appropriations.
Mr. Radford-Yes, and he swore to the fact be-
fore the committee.
Mr.. Farnsworth- never was greater
mistake than that. He never swore to anything
Of the kind
Mr.. Boutwell, in the further course of the dis.
cussion, made some emphatic remarks in favor Of
returning the property that had been ordered
without authority, and letting the disgrace fall on
those who wero responsible for it.
MIR. Kasson, in reply, said that he regretted
that the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr.
Boutwell) should have revived the scandal of last
session on this subject. The sum that had been ap-
proprated had been used in large part to pay prior
expenditures. He would not go further into this
unfortunate subject, for he did not believe, to use
the phrase Of a certain newspaper, Sin washing
the dirty linen of the republic In the eyes of the
world"
One other remark was made, and that related to
clean linen:
MIR. Niblack, as member Of the Committee on
Appropriations, had been deputed by the commit
tee to examine the condition Of the White House,
and he related how dilapidated and unfurnished it
had been found when the present occupants came
into possession, they having been forced to 40 into
the city to buy table linen, bed linen, &c.
