A HITCH IN THE RECONSTRUCTION AcTs-The Match.
ltoches Times, in noticing little trouble the Radicals
WI" probably have in reconstructing this State in ac
cordance with the acts of Congress, says
These acts require not only the adoption of the th
amendment to the constitution as condition prece.
dent to the admission of any recsant State into the
mon, but declare further that the representatives
from no State shall be admitted into Congress until
that amendment shall have become a part of the Con-
stuuon OF the United States" And anti! these con-
dltlons, among Others complied with, the recoll-
sructlon acts shall continue to be operative in the
State, and the civil government provisional only.
1t the withdrawal Of the assent of Ohio, California
and New Jersey to the l4th article is recognised it's
adoption by six Southern States-and if not recognis
ed, by three-s required before any Southern State
can be restored to the Union. The civil officers elected
at the time OF voting the several constitutions can
therefore be indicted into office only by further lecisa
ton OF Congress by virtue of military orders until
the final adoption of the 18th amendment by % States
threeiourths of the whole number-thc assent of at
least three and perhaps six of the Southern States be-
ing sine qua non.

DECISION IN THE MCCARDLE CAsE.-A Washington
special OF the 10th, gives the following report of the
decision of the Supreme Court in the McCarde case
The opinion of the Supreme Court upon the motion
TO dismiss the McCurde which was ovcrrulcd some
time since, is made public in full to-day. The impor
tan fact appears in the opinion that the court holds
that its appellate jurisdiction extended to such cases
even before the passage Of the of 1867 recently
repealed, except that it was necessary that they should
be brought upon a writ of ccrto9ari as well as the
writ of habeHs corpus. 1t is not known which view
the court will take of the effect of the repeal of the
law OF 1867 in this particular case but in the Florida
cases, under the reconstruction wrs of cororat
have been taken out, to evade the difficulties
thrown in the way by the repeal of the act of 1867
1t further appears from the official record that Chief
Justice Chase delivered the opinion of the court, and
concluded as follows: The act of 1867, giving d
tappea in such cases. having been recently repealed
remains to be what view the Court will take of
the effect of the repeal in this case and accordingly
stands continued until the term of the Court for
argument and final Judgment" But under this opn-
lon the Florida cases-uHder the reconstruction law
capital cases-have taken writ of haJcus corDus
and certtorar under the old pructce and have obtain
ed stay of proceedings below until final hearing is
had here at the next term So generally it would not
seem that the repeal of the act of 1867 will effect
much, if it can be thus easily avoided This will en-
able the Court the late legislation of Congress to the
contrary, to decide the constuOnaly of the recon
structlon laws.

as though the trees were determined to make up for

Is an over crop, which will not only urc the quality
OF the fruit but the tree itself Now good time to

little moral courage to thin out the fruit sufficiently to

BEEN LOOKING BAcK.-The Ourchita RcgiQter has
been looking back the Ia te battle field and after
counting the killed and wounded gives us the benefit
of his observations in the following pertinent remarks
We heartily endorse them:
Looking back the field, We are constrained to
believe that great many of our own race and color
have felt and acted though they were wholly ndif
teFent how the late contest terminated. Had every
white man done his duty, would not now be the
TanGiulshed party. In such crisis man ought to
have stood aloo ard those who did will yet regret
not once but thousand times that they were callous
and idle while there such weightY interests at
stake To their apathy cowardce is the defeat of the
white people directly attributable They cannot shift
the responsibity-the result of the election is melan
cholly evidence that defeat overlook us simply on ac
count OF the lack of few more earnest workers.
Serious injury was inflicted upon the Democracy by
the State Executive Committee, which showed by its
vascating and timid course great want of capacity
to grappe with and dispose of the grave responsible
ties which devoved upon it. Its labors seemed to be
confined to marching and counter marching, to pub
fishing few circulars and to managing the canvass in
New Orleans. There never was campaign SO loosely
and SO cowardly conducted. Our would-be leaders
were whipped from the start, and no amount of en-
tnusiastc response from the people could inspire them
with either courage Or confidence

has been cloudy, with indications of rain when was
not actually pouring down. The corn on the hills looks

we have but little reason to complain of the prospects
at this time The land under cultivation and the ratio

FAIR SAMPLE.-Thc Ouachita Telegraph of tn,
goth ult says that one 0. H. Brewster, the keeper o
negro dance house and negro house of ill-fame ir
the suburbs Of Trenton has been elected representa-
tive to the State Legislature from Ouacha parish
The Telegraph says with the fewest possible excep
tons this is fair sample of the capetbaggers in
our State He associates with only negroes and low
down white men, yet he was supported by men who
were once esteemed for their personal worth and
honor. We presume by that the editor means such
men as Ray, Ludeling and others who supported the
Radical ticket. How the mighty fallen The ed
found an affidavit, sworn to and signed by negro
woman, charging Brewster with having stolen from
her on the 29th of August, 1867 lot of household
furniture. At the preliminary trial before mogis
trate the evidence of his guilt strong that he
was bound to appear before the term of the
district court. The grand jury failed to find true bill
against him. 1t turned out few days afterwards that
he had given her trunk and twenty-five dollars in
money not to appear against him. The Telegraph
winds up its notice Of him as follows
We have been told that there is not decent mer
camille establishment in Trenton into which Brewster
can go with impunity He has his orders not to enter
them upon pain of forcible cjectmcnt and like self
outlaw he submits these insults without
a murmur. We Call upon the decent men who sup
ported this fellow if there be any, to know why thew
did it. If they expect to be respected in this commu
nifty hereafter, they must account in satisfactory
manner for aiding in the election honest people
Of such an unmtigaed and deprared outlaw Of society
Is 0. II. Brewster.
