GoRDoNsvILLE CORRESPONDENCE.

some time since In the "Southern 0pig-

condition of things. On the authority
of one of the Directors, will state
that the surplus land has been sold to u
gentleman who will devote himself to
the completion of the work as soon as
the weather permits. This, We hope,
will in future settle the question and
give satisfaction to all cavilers.

dozen new houses will be commenced
as soon as Spring opens. This is good
move; but we would exhort our enter

them.
There has been recently considerable
sickness in this community; but thus
far, has resulted fatally in only one or
two cases-among the blacks.
A communication from the "Execu-
tive Committee of New York." has
been received here-asking that ''pub-

good citizens, irrespective of party"
may be held with view to the nomi-

THE INTERPOLATION.


On Friday last, the Judiciary Com
mlttee of the House of Representatives
commenced its Investigation of the
charges made against Judge Field, of
the Supreme Court, who is said to have
declared the Reconstruction acts uncon-
stitutional, at recent gathering in
Washington. The editor of the paper
in which the statement first appeared
refused to give the name OF the author
Of the statement, or the name of the
Judge alluded to. He was allowed UNI
til Monday to determine whether he
would answer the question. In this
connecticut it should be stated that Hon.
James Il. Wilson, Chairman of the Jul
dietary Committee, in the Honse yes
terday, denied the statement now be-
ing circulated in some Democratic
journals, that he had testified that Chief
Justice Chase, Justice Field and JUS
tice Davis hae expressed to him their
belief that the Reconstruction laws
were unconstitutional. Mr.. Wilson
deLied the entire story, stating that he
knew nothing of the views Of the gen.
tlemen named, never having conversed
with them upoh the subject.

THE LATE JOHN H. DANIEL.

Mr.. Frederick s. Daniel, a brother
of the late John NJ. Daniel. proposes to
publish at an early day volume con-
tanning a memoir of his illustrious
brother, and selections from his writ
ingas editor of the Examiner. Mr.. Daniel
is a young gentleman oftallents and ac-
quirements which render him compe-
tent to the task. He has had the best
sources of information, including his
late brothers extensive correspondents
while his'own knowledge of his BROTH
er's habits. character. and peculiarities,
will enable him to make an interesting
memoir, presenting circumstances that
may throw light upon the lite of the
diseased. The selections from the wri-
tings of MIR. Daniel we are informed,
will be made with reference to their re-
lation to national events, and spccula
tions as to their influence on the fate OF
this people and their International in
tercourse. The late Mr.. Daniel took a
active part in the discussion Of the ca
liabilities, and dispositions and conduct
OF public men during the late war, both
in the Federal Government and that OF
the Confedcracy; it will be matter OF
much interest now to read what he said
not only for his views of men, but his
prophecies of the future. ru
Further notice of the book will be
given by the author in due time.

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.

The Clarke JoTna! says that ''it is
evident that Congress, or the uncon-
stitutional body so-called, is only insti-
gated by the late reaction in the North
to more reckless and destructive legis-
iation than il has ever before been gull
ty of. 1t is evident, too, that they will
require in the next Presidential cleo
ton, the electoral vote of the South, to
ensure the success of their candidate
They will, therefore, hesitate at moth
ing in their effort to effect the recon-
struction of the Southern States at
once. They have no time to lose, for
the day is not far distant when the f.
nal decisive struggle for power will
have to be made. Their political ma
chimes, the mongrel Conventions of the
South, will be required to complete the
framing OF Constitutions for the States
at very early day, and as little time
as possible will be given before the
question will be submitted to the pco-
pie.
The question of the ratification of the
Constitution will be sprung upon us so
suddenly that we will not have time to
arouse the people to the necessity of
turning out en- masse to save the. State.
In tile meantime while they are thus
preparing for our total enslavemcnt, we
are doing nothing. We care organi zing
tbs is true, but organizing to begin the
campaign ,chen the CONSTITUTE is framed
and submitted to the people. This is
the very worst policy conceivable. We
should begin the campaign at once
Every man who is Conservative, and
who has the interest Of the State at
heart, should at once go to work.

RADICAL CAUCUS.

A caucus of Radical members of the
House Of representatives on Thursday
determined to press to speedy consid-
Grafton the bill providing for course
of procedure in cases of impeachment,
which is now pending in the Senate. :
Mcssrs. Bingham and Boutwell,, of the
Reconstruction Committee, are en-
gagged in examining into the Presi-
dents course relative to the Recon
struction acts. His conduct in advis-
ing Gen. Grant not to obey the orders
of Secretary Stanton, and his "conspir-
ing" to prevent the execution of the
Reconstruction and Tenure Of Office
laws, are said to be the principal SUBJ
jects of investigation.

JACOBS WELL.

There has never been doubt enter
tanned by the most skeptical or critical
traveller regarding the authenticity OF
this well. Beyond all question, it is
the one at which our Saviour rested as
he journcyed along the route which
travellers generally follow from jeruse-
lem to Galilee. Every feature of the
landscape starts into life rs we read the
narrative of his conversation with the
woman of Samaria the plain of corn

ing in the harvest; the mountain rising
above, on which the Samaritan temple
was built the neighboring town of Sc
chem; the Samsritans 'worsliping as
they still do, toward s'this mountain"
and there only all are evidences of its
truth, apart from the common and un-
broken tradition.

ANOTHER SIGN.

Commodore Vanderbilt Of New York,
one of the wealthiest men of that EN-
Pic State, who recently participated
in Grant meeting in New York City,
and who said he was willing to spend a
half million of dollars to secure Grants
election to the Presidency, has, since
Grants indefensible conduct relating
to the reinstatement of Stanton in the
War Department, written a letter to
A. Il. Stewart, the New York Million
aire, saying that he will not now sup
port Grant. The letter is said to be
very sharp, and that there is a loud call
upon Mr.. Stuart to make it public
Grant stock is falling. "Grant that it
may continue to do So" is the prayer
of majority Of good, liberty-loving
people.

somewhat remarkable promenade dress

THE CONSTITUTIONS ALL TO BE AccEp.

Ii will have been observed, saws the
Washington correspondent OF the Bal
tinore Gazette, that whenever it is found
that upon counting the votes in the bogus e.
lection at the South the Radicals have not
sufficiency for their purposes, tn.
polls are re. opened again and again by
the satrapsin command but as soon as
the required number is reached by
revoting the negroes, the ballot box
is presto Theoretically sealed. A case
of this kind has just occurred, or, rather
is in progress, as the phrase goes in
Alabama. Some of the Conservative
correspondents at this point are indig-
nant at such tactics. But why ? | can
assure them and your readers, upon
the most reliable authority, that it has
long ago been determined by the lead
ing Radicals to accept by congressional
enactment the State constitutions to be
sent here by the negro conventions, ir-
respective of the action of the Poop IL
ami that the requirements in the recon-
struction acts by majority of the reg
istered votes is to be repealed, or (which
is the same thingl wholly disregarded.

GROWING TOO SOON.

The Radical CALCULATIONS over the E.

trict of Ohio are, as the facts come out
getting much fainter. Hundreds of those
who voted for the Radical candidate
aver thac they did so because he place d
himself squarely on the-Pendleton-B Bat
Ter platform for paying the public debt
in greenbacks. Prominent Ohio Dem
ocrats confidently assert that there is
no doubt of that party carryinga ma
jority of the congressional districts, in

fidencc entertained on this point is said
to have been the main cause which in

"a movement is being made for the
call of a National Convention, to be as
semblcd at Cincinnatti, to represent
the producing industries of the United
States. The character of the conven-
ton will probably be somewhat politi-
cal as well as material, il being tile in
tent to place the Government and its
policy under the control of the produc-
ing interests. The convention will be
called under the auspices OF the Ma
