The ltorld mistakenly assumes that

struction till after the War was over, Tor
getting that q comprehensive bill passed
both Houses in 1864, but was pocketed by
President Lincoln, not as specially oljec-
tionahle. but as premature-it being i'm
possible as vet to determine c0ncluSivcly
on what terms Reconstruction ought to be
effected, in view of unforeseen chances of
War Messrs. Wade and Winter Davis
very pungently reviewed this pocket veto;
yet we could not help thinking that though
the President had the sounder position.
And at all events. the bill and the reasons
adduced for not signing it were alike no
tees to all concerned that the terms OF
| Reconstruction were yet unsettled; and
they alike rcfute the Copperhead assump-
ton that the Rebel States were left to
suppose that they might. if beaten in the
contest, resume their position in the Union
exactly as they were before they seeded.

for an instant suppose that the dispatches
were thus published by General Grants

y FACT WORTH KNOWING. It is a
remarkable fact that persons LOSING them
selves ia forest or a snow storm manifest
invariably a tendency to tcrn round grad
ually to the lett, to the extent of eventually
moving in circle. The explanation Of
this is found, probably, in the fact, that
the limbs and muscles of the right side are
generally better developed than those of
the left side. Under the excitement felt
when euc is lost, and in the absence of
any guiding line. the superior energy of
the right limbs throws the pedestrian, in

is little over ten miles in length and he
estimates its cost at $4,000 per mile.
The legislative committee on Railroads
have unanimously agreed to report u bill
