the State to representation, and it will be In
every respect q fair test of radical declara-
tions of desire for speedy reconstruction OF
the Union. Judge Irwin, although decided
opponent of the radical party, is in favor Of
accepting the Congressional policy Of recon-
struction, and did, we believe, write letter,
which was published, urging the acceptance of
the reconstruction laws. He is and always was
Unionist, and as it is more than likely that
nearly all of the democratic nominees will be
original Union men, should they be elected by
the voters of Georgia and the new constitution
be adopted, it will then be seen whether Con-
gress, under the circumstances, will permit the
State to resume her relations with the Union.

Lake Hiak, two days march from Magdala.
Deep ravines circled his camp, and he had fif-
teen thousand men and six large guns with
which to meet his enemy. The Emperor EVIL
IDENTIFY means to fight, and the six thousand
British troops who were to advance on the
day following that on which the despatch was
sent will evidently find it difficult task to
force the African army from its present position.
Things begin to look rather gloomy for the ex-
pedition. Not only does Theodorus mean to
fight, but we are informed that at that time
forage was scarce, and that her Majesty's sol
diers were suffering from dysentery and fever.

The Opera NIuddle.

Middle seems to be chronic complaint at
the present day in everything. 1t seems to
be the normal condition of italian opera in this
country; for within the recollection of ''the
oldest inhabitant" harmony and ensembles
seem to be misnomers when applied to the
lyric stage. Impresar&, prime dOnne, fid-
dlers and conductors are like the traditional
Kilkenny cats during an opera season, until
the entire management troupe and opera
house are suddenly elevated in the manner of
Mississippi steamboat and it's passengers after
sharp race with rival, when the boiler re-
fuses to hold the superabundant steam any
longer. The Erie and impeachment muddles
are forgotten for the moment, in the minds of
musical people at least, by the late troubles
at both of our opera houses. Love scrapes,
financial shortcomings, intrigues, angry dis
cussions, maccaroni debates and recusant
singers are all mixed up in delightful ola
podrida, like one of Offenbach's operas or
ninety-nine and half stockholders are dane
ing the scalp dance in full paint over
the remains of Italian opera at both houses;
the Catacombs look gloomier than ever;
the cynocephalus pops his head out of one Of
the windows Of the circus, wondering what all
the row is about; disconsolate tenors make
their complaints to fierce looking bassos; horn
blowers argue the question with hungry look
ing trombone players, and the unfortunate I'M
presdrii mediate dark schemes of suicide or
nitro -glycerine means Of settling the matter.
What is IL all about2 A short time since the
Italian opera was in full career, and on the
west side, at least, crowded houses rewarded
the exertions of the managers. Now both
opeea houses are closed, and Italian opera has
departed. Like the I" little JOKER" II appears
and disappears in the most unaccountable man
ner. We have heard rumors to the effect that
the leader Of the orchestra at one Of the opera
houses was cndeavoring to sell the entire
troupe to the stockholders of the other, and
that the company at the latter were all placed
hors dc combat by the malaria of ruined voices
and bankrupt managers that hangs around the
lyric tombs. What few weeks may bring
forth to clear mp this opera muddle il Is hard
to say.

The NIanufacturers Bill.

On Friday last Mr.. Schenck, from the Con-
ference Committee, reported the bill to exempt
certain manufactures from taxation to the
House of Representatives. BY the report the
House recedes from its non-concurrence with
the amendments Of the Senate regarding con-
tract machinery; in reference to drawbacks
none is to be allowed subsequent to the lst
day of June, and the tax on sales Of all manu-
factures is to remain where such sales exceed
five thousand dollars annually, and where such
manufactures are not specifically taxed by
existing laws. The section relating to the tax
on whiskey is somewhat modified, but is, If any
thing, more stringent than at first reported.
Without division the House adopted the re-
port, after brief debate on the whiskey Sec
ton. On yesterday the bill was before the
Senate, and after lengthy debate it was de-
cided, by q vote Of twenty-three to
nine, to disagree with the report and to
call for new conference committee. The
probabilities are that the bill will be
materially altered from it's present shape be-
fore it passes both houses. OF course the
manufacturers from bearing their share Of the
burden of taxation will be retained as it now
stands, or if altered in any particular such
alteration will only be to benefit them to yet
greater extent.
This manufacturers bill (or it is nothing
else) should be vetoed by the President. In
It's practical working it will be sectional and
unequal, should it become law. Almost the
entire weight of taxation will fall upon the
Middle, Western and Southern States, while
New England will go ''scot free." What, then,
is Mr.. Johnson's duty in the premises He
cannot, with his ideas of free trade, give his
consent to anything of so unjust and unequal
a character. We have already a sufficient
number of monopolies in the country without
adding to them, and if this bill becomes law the
effect will be to give special privileges to the
manufacturers exempted by its provisions
which are not enjoyed by the whole people.
We therefore, advise the President to veto
it. Let him return 1t to the House with
his objections. and the chances are that the
radicals will not be able to obtain two-thirds
vote with which to repass it over his veto.
There are too many conflicting interests in the
republican ranks for them to vote as solid
phalanx in favor of overriding his objections.
1t is Mr.. Johnson's policy to veto all measures
Of the kind, tending as they do to benefit one
section of the country to the detriment of the
other. Besides, every movement that creates
discord and division among the radicals is q
clear gain to his cause. A veto in this in
stance may lose him some friends in New
England, but it cannot fail to increase his
popularity with the people Of the other States.
Let him therefore, we repeat, veto this bill, and
thereby endeavor to put down this last and
most unjust effort of one section of the
Union to reap all of the profits of the country
without aiding in its support.
