Mr. Thaddcus stevens and COnfisca-
tiOn.

Mr.. Thaddcus Stevens rather tartly
asserts that Senator Wilson is giving
the impression that il the Southern
states honestly comply with the terms
of the Military bill they will be res
torcd To representation i'm Congress
Mr.. Stevens asks by what authority
this is said, and declares for himself
he would not admit the unreprcscntcd
States, or Territories, as he prefers to
call them, without ga mild confisca-
ton"
The authority upon which Senator
Wilson probably relies for what he
says is the general understanding of
the country. The Military bill docs
not i'm terms provide that States which
sincerely accept il and act under it
shall bc restored TO representation, but
the country does not doubt that they
will bc, and is very sure that such was
the intention of the bill. Like the
Constitutional Amendment, the Mill
tary bill is tentative offer. The phi
losophy of the Amendment, as Il pre-
liminary condition to restoration, was
simply that its adoption hy the States
would show that they were in such Il
condition that they might safely be
restored. Its rejection was of itself
evidence that other measures were ne
ces>ary. So with the Military bill: if
the States proceed in good faith To or
ganize under it, that fact will he sufli-
cicnt proof of the safety of their full
return TO the Union. If they treat il
as they treated the Amendment the
consequences will bc similar 1t IL the
offer of the Sybils books.
But tho ease i apparently no longer
doubtful. The States are organizing
under the Military bill. Their late
leaders in rebellion, without entering
into the hopeless question OF right or
authority, accept the situation because
they feel it. Their views about slave
ry and the intention Of the Consti;u-
ton may or may not bc changed. but

WOMAN'S SMILE.

And throws Ger life its golden beams
OF happiness and Loves
a beacon pure, whose radiance bright

With heavenly lustre shines.
There is star whose magic power
so firmly binds the soul,
That cen in Joys most sunny hour
Man ieels it, sweet control,

And calms the Wild tempes,uous swell

Though dark they frown awhile;
