REcossrRucTIoN.-T bill agreed upon
by the Reconstruction Committee,oi "hich
,THAp. STEVENS is chairman, will no oouo.
pass the House of Representatives, anu
also the Senate, but there is some douos
as to whether the majority in the ia.' .a

which Mr.. JOHNSON will be sure " oo'
mon = There are some men WIN o iu-
80 hofnro Them in the Senate; and there
ouobt to ss such men in the House. ba'
az oc,;on of the latter body furnishes
n,oa causc for believing that there are
none such in its composition. Men who
exnect TO continue in the councils of the
nation, or to be entrusted with Offices Of
honor and profit, are not wont to be SC
reckless as are tho miserable, petty politi.
clans who constitute the House Of Repre-
scntatives. We expect the Senate to pas:
the bill; but we also expect some Of the
better class of senators to vote against it
enough, perhaps, to enable the Presiden
to stife it. However, as we have more
than once heretofore been deceived by the
Senate, it Is not we'll to count too con
fidently upon any favorable action upon it
part.
In any event, we shall have hope TO
Virginia. twill be a difficult matter ever
for Congress to place this State in TIT
hands of the Radicals. The measure
which they adopt for the perpetuation O
their power will possibly be the very one
to which that corrupt faction will owe it
downfall and disgrace.

GEoRGIA.-General MEADE is deter.
mined that no one shall suspect him o.
favoring the Presidents policy. He dis.
misses Governor as the first NAPOLEON
used to dismiss princes and kings. He
was hardly warm In his seat before he
achieved this great triumph over the Con
stitution and laws of the State of Georgia
The madmen who encourage him in such
conduct, and whose favor he is seeking by
thus summarily ovcrturning the govern,
ment established by the people of Georgia
profess to sympathize greatly with the
down-trodden peoples Of Ireland, Poland
and Hungary. BY all means let the
Georgia Convention endorse this act by
declaring in the new bill Of rights which
they are about to adopt that call govern.
"ments derive their just powers from the
consent OF the governed" Let us have
farce after this first class tragedy.
1t is stated that Governor JENKINS will
attempt to test the legality Of his removal
by obtaining writ of quo uarranto. He
leans upon broken reed when he leans
upon the Supreme Court of the United
States. That court is demoralized. Its
Chief Justice is as subservient to Radical
sm as JEFFREYs was to King JAMES.

After the paragraphs appearing else
where in this mornings paper were in the
hands Of the printer, we found in the Bal
timore Sun several items of information
concerning the newly proposed reconstruc-
ton act. Mr.. STEVENS, it appears, voted
against it in committee because it does not
go far enough! The following paragraph
is so much like our own on the same sub
ject that we have deemed it proper to say
above that ours was written before seeing
this:
"It is believed the measure will pass in
the House with some modification, but the
Senate is not expected to favor it, espe.
cially that section giving to the General,
in Chief power to remove military com.
manders. This is objected to by some
Republican senators as of doubtful consti.

The TjrgiaaiG Convention
ORDERED BY CONGRESS TO
FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION
TwENTY-FOURTH DAY.

MONDAY, January Is, 1868.
The Convention met at the usual hour
Prayer by the chaplain.
Mr.. ALLAN moved that the vote by which
Mr.. LrGGAT's resolution Of Saturday was
ordered to be printed be reconsidered.
Mr.. GIBSON asked the effect of motion
to reconsider. 1.-The understood the duties
of officers of the Convention, that resolu.
ton ought to have been printed and laid
on the desks of members. He wished to
know by what authority the printing had
been suppressed.
Mr.. ALLAN denied that the printing had
been suppressed.
Tho motion to, reconsider was carried.
Mr.. CLEMENTS arose to point of order,
and said that as the resolution had never
been read from the desk it could not be
considered as having been before the
House.
Mr.. L1GGATT said that he had read it by
privilege of the House, and if the Clerk
did not read it., he was guilty of breach
of privilege.
The CHAIR ruled against the point of
order.
Mr.. CLEMENTS asked formal decision
from the CHAIR of his point of order as to
whether the resolution, being somewhat
disrespectful in its nature, could be con-
sidered by the House.
The CHAIR decided that the resolution
had already been considered, and could
not, therefore, now be ruled out on that
point.
Mr.. GIBSON said that he could not un-
