SALE.DAT.-The number Of people COL
lected in town on Monday exceeded all
sale day assemblages since January '67.
The streets were thronged with white,
black and all the intermediate shades and
grades, in complexion and cast: We did
not ascertain what brought them all here,
but may venture the conclusion; that
some rode,- judging by the frequent wha-
hoo, wha.hocs, sounding from the right
and left of the court house and vacant
lots; whi!eit may be further inferred
that great number came in a-foot back.
Itcmay be further stated that not a, few
went away with more business than they
came-that of finding something. to eat
1t was the moiliest crowd and the hun
grlest, the simmon beer and apple tart
women, could not half meet the demand.
Not all however came purposeless, for we
record with pleasure the receipt of sew
eral subscriptions and adyertismentco costs.
One individual We regret not being able
to find; the crowd being so great, or per-
haps he was not here. AT all events we
didn't make the money this time. When
next we meet, let him look out. -
The commissioners sales we're, $40
acres of land $500, 272 for s41o and a
house and lot in town for $780,. The
Sheriff s sales were 574 acres at $3.50,
40 acres at $50, and so acres at $3.50.
The sales of furniture, horses, mules,
wagons, and truck of various descrip-
tions, were numerous, and animated, and
encircled by freeds innumerable. !
Some of the incidents not in order, or
set down in the programme, were dog
fight inwhich: both got whipped, an over
dose of >wbiskey which had the effect Of
making the fellow who carried it forget 1
tother from which, and, and, we'll We
can't f,r the life ofus tell what the other
fellow did ), it was something, and funny
too, for We recollect having laughed. =,

For long time we have missed it, and we

Washington Gossip.

The Washington correspondent Of the
N. z. Herald thus gossips on a most i'm
portant subject, the testing the coustitu.
tionality of the reconstruction acts inthe
Supreme Court He says. -, -.
There are several highly important ca.
,ses about to come before the Supreme
Court Of the United States, each of
which will test the constitutionality of
the Reconstruction acts. One case, the
trial of which is expected to begin very
shortly, will decide the question as to
whether Virginia is in or out of the Un-
ion. 1t is confidently believed that the
decision Of the court will be that Virgin
la is not now and never has been out Of
the Union, in which case the situation in
the Southern States will be materially
changed The President, it is said, will
then instruct the Military District Com.
manders to act in. strict accordance with
the decision Of the highest tribunal of
the nation, and permit the civil govern
ments to resume their functions untram-
mellea by the military power. 1t is the
belief of a prominent Senator here that
majority of the judges of the Supreme
Court, when the McArdEe. case comes up,
will decide that the Reconstruction acts
are Unconstitutional ; that Chief Justice
Chase will deliver the minority report
and make the most Ct the opportunity to
champienlhe acts and, identify himself
yet more earnestly with the Radical par.
ty North and South.' If the bottom
should thus fall out of the scheme fer
Africanizing the Southern States it. is
believed General Grant will reject any
nomination coming from the Republican
party =; -, =. = :~.~
