The Troubles of the Reconstructors

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun says it was fondly supposed that
the supplementary reconstruction bill now pend
ing in the Senate and which is the fourth of
the series, would be fnality 1t has been
discovered, however, that the regal powers
which are therein conferred upon Gen. Grant
can be swept away by single breath of the
Executive The law which revived the grade
of General expressly provides that the officer
appointed to fill that position shall command
the armies of the United States ''under the
direction and during the pleasure of the Presi-
dent. By this law passed less than two years
ago, the President can at any moment desig-
nate another general in-chief The military
committees Of the two houses are hard at work
to devise some plan to meet this new difficulty.
and In few days we may, in the language of
Fernando Wood, expect another monstrosity to
be revealed to the gaze of the country. The
truth is, this whole reconstruction policy of
Congress is very much like leaky vessel; for
every hole that is patched up two new oues are
discovered.

Distress in the South.
