advice, and you shall have Il. t is rot my
purpose to interfere in the affairs of your
County, but.when am called upon for my
opinion on matters which, may infect the
whole people of the State, can not hesitate
to give that opinion. It is Etthe interest of
every citizen of the State that Franklin
County, and every other County, should send
to the Constitutional Conventions ardent and
earnest advocates Of reconstruction on the
terms laid down by Congress; for the Con-
stitution to be framed by delegates from the
various Counties will operate equally upon
all, and every hindrance to the work of re-
storing the State to the UEion under such
Constitution, should be removed, no matter
where, Or in what shape that hindrance may
present itself lag :
1t appears from the above statement, that
the meeting called in Louisburgto nominate
candidate for the convention passed into
the hands Of the enemies Of reconstruction.

gentlemen asJ. b Littlejohn aud Jos. ]. Da-
Wis, the avowed enemies Of the Republican
party 1t appears that there vas foul play
in making the nomination. Mr.. Wilson was

WASHINGTON, February 13.-Stevens's
Military Reconstruction Bill passed the
House Of Representatives to-day by vote
lacking only one Of being two. thirds ma
jority. About twenty Republicans, In
GLIDING Banks, voted against it.
The bill abolishes all the southern State
governments, forms the territory embraced
in the States of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Flo
rida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Texas into five military districts, to each OF
which is to be assigned general Of the
regular army with sufficient military
force.
1t is made the duty of the general CON-
manding to protect all persons in their
right of person and property; to suppress
instruction, disorder, and violence; and
to punish, or cause to be punished, all dis
tubers Of the public peace and criminals /;
and to this end he may allow civil tribu-
mails to take jurisdiction of and to try the
offenders, or when in his judgment it may
be necessary for the trial Of offenders, he
shall have power to organize military COM
missions or tribunals for that purpose, any
thing in the Constitution and laws Of the
so-called States to the contrary notwith-
standing; and all legislative or judicial
proceedings, or processes to prevent or
control the proceedings of said military
tribunals, and all interference by said pre-
tended State governments with the exer-
else of military authority under this act,
shall be void and Of no effect.
The bill further provides that the courts
and judicial officers Of the United States
shall not issue writs ofhabeas corpus in be.
half of persons in military custody.
