The Case of Colonel McArdle, OF Mississippi
The COnstitutionality of the Recon-
structIon Law to Come Before the Supreme
Court.
A case is soon to come before the Su-
preme Court here that will decide as to tho
constitutionality of the reconstruction law.
1t is that of Colonel McArdle, an editor OF
Natchez, Miss, who, in his paper, recently
INDUCED in some plain comments upon the
practical working of the military govern
ments. He designated General Old as 4
military satrap, intimating that he would
have to enforce his measures at the point
Of the bayonet, and that the people would
not submit to his making Poland of Mis-
sissippi. He was arrested by order of Gen.
Ord, but before he could be tried by mill
tary commission q writ of habeas corpus
was sued out, and on an examination be-
fore Judge Hill. of the United States Dis
trict Court of Mississippi, he held that the
law was constitutional and remanded the
prisoner to custody, fixing his bail at ST.
600. The case is now to be sent here on
writ of error, with all the proofs and pa
pers bearing upon it. The hearing before
Chief Justice Chase and his associates will
excite extraordinary interest, from the fact
that it will be the first case that has come
before this court involving the constitu-
tionality of the reconstruction laws. 1t is
expected that the necessary documents will
be here with little delay, and that the case
will be taken up out of its order.

Bad State of Affairs I'm the South.

The condition of the Southern States is
growing SO rapidly worse, and its material
prostration is having such marked effect
upon the prosperity of the North, that their
Journals are filled with articles selected
from Southern papers and comments
thereon, detailing with startling accuracy
the terrible condition of our people. In
stead of the correspondents of Radical pa
pers writing lying letters about outrages CT
rebels upon Union men and negroes,
they send appeals in behalf Of starving PEG.
pie, and their letters are too frequently
filed with accounts of terrible crimes COM
mitted by negroes upon whites.
We have made reference to these alarm
ing matters more than once, and will, in
lieu of further comments of our own, give
some we'll considered suggestions from the
Pittsburg Chronicle, leading and inhuen'
tial Radical paper of the city and section
in which it is published. It says:
"Our people are SO much interested il
home affairs, that they give little attention
to the condition OF society in the South.
We are busy with the labor question, the
financial question, and the question as tc
who shall be our next President, and we
hardly give a passing glance to that large
section of country, every geographical mile
of which was studied with so much interest
a few years ago. We must admit that We
were ourselves little surprised on taking
up a recent Richmond newspaper, to fine
it filled with an account of great Con
| sentative Convention held in that city
which was attended by eight hundred O.
the most influential men in the State, anG
whose deliberations were supposed to be
of character that would command marked
attention in the North. At that meeting
Mr.. Hunter urged that the South should
insist upon white soldiers being
placed over them for an indefinite
time, rather than consent to negro politi
cal equality. We doubt whether more
than one out of dozen reading people
amongst us ever heard of the session Of
that Convention, and we are certain thai
instead of its proceedings causing the
slightest feeling here, the country at large
is too Indifferent even to inquire what the,
were.

States are still virtually excluded from the
Union that political movements under ,
law of Congress are in progress for thu
purpose of ratifying the reconstructio,

assaults made upon the present admins
tration, and the additional facts that some
OF the large Stockholders are alarmed, and
have written me that they see "nothing
but ruin in the present policy of the road. -"
We think their fears are ill-founded, espe-
cially when they call to mind the fact that
what we have accomplished was done un-
der a tariff from ten to two hundred Der

Hon. W.D. Kelley on the Cotton Tax.

The following note from Hon. ". D.
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, was published in
the Memphis Post of the 10th instant:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 1867.
"Editcrs Post:-I have received num-
Der of communications, printed and writ
ten, from Memphis, on the subject of the
cotton tax I had five minutes yesterday
to speak on the subject, and beg you to
oblige me by publishing my few words.
{" My object is to demonstrate the neces-
sity of an allan between the cotton plan
ter and the manufacturer to secure to the
planters monopoly of our own market
That done, we can export cotton fabricks
and exclude the cotton of other fields from
the markets our manufacturers conquer
The cotton tax and the i've per cent tax
on cotton manufactures repealed, with the
factory located on water-power flowing
through cotton fields, we can resume our
ascendancy as cotton-growers in a few
years.
"Yours, very truly,
