| Progress Of Reconstruction.
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and
Virginia-four among the princi-
pal of the States lately in armed
rebellion-have held their elections
under the Congressional Recon.
struction Law, on the question of
calling a convention for forming
new constitutions, and for choos-
ing delegates to such conventions
in case they are called. At all
these elections the Radical Repub.
lican party, four,fifths Of whose
voters are of the colored race, have
been overwhelmingly successful
1t has elected large majority Of
the members to each Convention,
considerable numbers of whom are
themselves colored; while sufficient
votes have been cast to order the
holding Of Convention in every
instance. In two Of these States
the registration gave a preponder
ance of white voters, and in two Of
them the blacks had a majority
At the election, however, except in
the case Of Virginia, the chief por

JAY Cooke ON THE NATIONAL
BANKs.--This individual has pub.
Iisbed an elaborate communication
in defense Of the National Banking
system. His reasoning is plansi-
BILE ard ingenious enough, but his
whole effort can have no other ef.
feet than TO augment whatever
popular prejudice may exist a.
gainst the system, SO long as the
impression shall prevail that his
interests are identified with it. The
publication Of Mr.. Cookies letter,
and that ofthe opposing arguments
it has called out, will result, we
think, in no good to the National
Banks. There can be but little
doubt, if the system is to be per-
petuated, that it needs material
amendment in some of its features

Republican Mayor Elected.

WAsHINaToN, Feb. %.
An election took place to-day in Georgetown
for Mayor and Common Council. 1t was the
first election at which the colored vote was
counted. A detail of las men for duty was
made including the police of the town and a
mounted force in order to preserve the peace
AT 8 o'clock the polls were opened and the
rush OF voters without distinction of color COM
menced. The votes of several cOlored men
were rejected because they could not be iden-
titled and few on the ground of minority.
The action of the judges of election delayed
the colored voters somewhat, requiring them
to make oath to their identity and age. Great
exertions were made by each party to bring
the voters to the polls. During the entire day
the streets and corners in the vicinity of the
polls were occupied by groups of citizens deep
ly interested in the result of the election The
restaurants and tipping houses were closed all
day and the metropolitan police were constant
ly parading the town.
Chas. ID. Welsh, radical, was elected by a
majority of 96 votes over Henry Addison, the
present mayor, who was the conservative or
white mans candidate, but large number of
councilman on the Addison ticket were
elected. .ar. slEI
