Nsw YoRK, Jan. 20.
The HeralFs correspondence from the
principal cities in the South indicate gener-
al reaction politically among the Southern
people. One Of the means in use among the
Nirginians is to alleviate the suffering among
the widows and orphans is huge lo,teryor gil,
enterprise. Among the gifts which, it s pro-
posed to give way, is the residence Of Jeffer-
son Davis, in Richmond, now in possession
Of the Gov eFnment of the United States.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 80.
The indidati ons are that no election OF
Representatives will be neld In time for the
Fortieth Congress. Governor Brownlow
will wait until August before he orders al
election, losing, if necessary, all representa-
tion in the 0fst session, SO that he may take
advantage of the colored vote, which itseems
certain will be equalized in Tennessee in the
coming spring.

WASHINGTON. Jan. %.
/ The Committee on Reconstruction will en-
er Immediately upon the preparation of the
proper bill faf recognising the Sisters in view
Of the reflections of the Constitutional amend
ment, and report at the present session OF
Congress the correspondence and testimony
Of the Secretarys OF State and War.
The President to-day returned to the Sen
ate, with his objections, the bill for the ao>
mission of Nebraska. He refers to the fun
danent condition precedent, that suffrage
shall be allowed without distinction of race.
This coalition ID not mentioned in the origi-
nal enabling act, and was not Contemplated
at the time of its passage, and WAS not sought
By the people themselves. 1t has not been
applied to the inhabitants of any State ask
ing admission, and is IN direct conflict with
the Constitution adopted by the people, and
declared inthe preamble to be republican in
its form OF government, for in that instru-
ment the exercise OF the elective franchise,
and the right to hold Office, are expressly
limited to white citizens OF the United States,
Congresssthus undertakes TO aathorize and
compel the Legislature TO change Coustitu-
ton which it is declared in the preamble has
received the sanction of the people, and
which, by this bill, is accepted, ratified and
cocfrmed by the Congress of the nation.
The President proceeds TO show that the first
and third sections OF the bill exhibit yet fur.
ther incongruity. He says that Congress is
satisfied that Nebraska AZ the present time
possesses sufficient population to entitle her
to full representation in the.councils Of the
nation, and that her people desire a Stale
Government in good faith, would seem 10
demand tha, she should be admitted, without
further requirements than those expressed in
the enabling act, with all of which, it is as
serted in her preamble, her inhabitants have
complied.
{ The President, in compliance with q reso-
luton Of the House, transmitted to-day vo-
luminous documents on the subject of the
New Orleans riots in July. They include
400 foolscap pages of testimony taken before
the Military Board convened by, General
Baird, and consisting Of Generals Mower,
Quincy, Gregg, and Badly Smith, together
with the report in which they condemn the
conduct Of Mayor Monroe, and say but for the
declaration Of martial law by General Baird
and the presence of the troops, FIRE and
bloodshed would have ragged through the
night in all the negro quarters IN the city,
and the lives and property of Unionists and
Northern men would have been at the mercy
of the mod, the conservatives OF peace being
for the time the instigators Of violence, and
nothing would have renamed but arming for
self defence, and scene might have ensasd
unparalleled in the history Of the age.

Another grand raid on the fashionable fan

on Fourth avenue proved to be the sufferers
on this occasion. The inmates of nine estab-
hshuents, with hair streaming in the breeze
la whirlwind, solemnly wended their way to
the old bastile, between the hours of 10 and
IL o'clock, each escorted by an attentive po-
kceman. Preparations for the affair had been
made on a grand scale, and complete success
crowned the efforts of those in charge of the
arrangements. NS
Several successful and daring attempts at
pocket picking were made last evening on
Blue Island avenue horse car. One of the
passengers, a lady, discovered the hand Of a
young man standing beside her to be in
close proximity to her pocket book and be-
fore ste could give the alarm the rascal had
snatched the wallet and started to run. The
lady at once caught the thief by the arm and
called edupon the other passengers to secure
him, but either not understanding the cause
of the commotion, or unwilling to render
rest the fellow, who pushed his way through
the crowd and escaped out of the front door
of the car. He, however, dropped the lady 8
pocket book upon the floor in his efforts to
release her hold upon his coat, and after the
excitement had snbsided it was found and de-
hvered to her. The other passengers then
began to examine their pockets, when it was
found that another lady and gentleman had
been robbed.
