MucH EXCITEMENT!
/" WHEN WILL WON.

Yes, "when will wonders
cease?" What is the use of
so much excitementS We do
not like to see everybody run to
see-leaving their business!-
evenif something very funny
does happen in Macarthur! Be-
cause a young and newly mar
ried couple, who have been liv-
ing on love and moonlight
alone" since the tying Of the
fatal knot, happen to visit our
village, where, everybody can
mind other peoples business
and get up a little excitement
1. about it, and then allrush'intoJ.
K. WINS Mammoth Dry
Goods Establishment, in search
ofthe loving couple, and there
only find the numerous Clerks
all engaged in giving away the
present stock Of goods just to
make room for more, and the
"Father of Southern Ohio Mer-
chants" not in, but in the CITY
purchasing, at ''panic prices" :"
another great and attractive lot
of goods-the fourth stock sold
out and GIVEN AWAY since Oc-
tober 8th-and find no loving
couple there, we come to the
conclusion that something
should be done when people get
so much excited! If the people
all think j. K. WILL sells and
gives away the best and most
beautiful goods in this market,
we can't help it!

convinced of the fact on the evening

Practical Progress of Reconstruction.
The returns from the late election in virginia
are still fragmentary and incomplete, but 1t Is
known that the vote in favor Of Constitu-
tional Convention has prevailed by decided
majority, and that majority of the members
elected are Republicans. This result, in face
of the depressing effect of the October elections,
and of the pressure brought to bear by the
Democracy Of the North to prevent If possible
the holding of Convention, is more favorable
than was generally anticipated. 1t shows that
there is a powerful current in favor of recon
struction prevailing in the late Rebel States,
and that the do-nothing policy is not Endorsed
by the people. Three States-Louisiana Ala
bama, and Virginia-have now voted to hold
Constitutional Conventions, and have elected
delegates to them. Every State, 80 far, that has
voted upon the question has voted in its favor;
and in Virginia, at least, the result cannot
by any means be ascribed solely to the votes
of the citizens of African descent, for the white
voters are in a large majority in the State. The
influence of Virginia has always been very
large over the other Southern States, and the
fact that she has voted to hold Convention will
now have a salutary effect. If the do nothings
could not hold their own in Virginia, where
they had so many things in their favor, they
can hardly hope to control the action of any
other of the Rebel States.
Thus far the reconstruction plan has worked
admirably. Three States are already on the
high road to complete restoration. We
have no doubt that each of them will adopt
Constitution republican in FORM such an one
as will command the assent not only of Con-
gress, but also of the loyal people of the
country generally, and will be admitted with
it into the Union.
The Louisiana Convention meets on the 10th
OF November, and will Immediately proceed
to frame Constitution and State Govern
ment. With the Constitutions of the several
States of the Union as patterns and guides,
the Convention will doubtless make quick
job of it, so that we should not be at all sur
prised to see Louisiana admitted to the Union
before next March. A similar result may be
looked for in the cases of Alabama and Vir-
ginia, and also of such others of the Rebel
States as shall vote to hold Conventions.
Indeed, it would not be very wonderful if this
whole work of reconstruction should be prac-
tically finished during the next session of Con-
gress. Such result would be most fortunate
for the country, and would be happy termi-
nation of the great struggle which has cost us
all so much.
