How closely these EFFORTS resemble the efforts
of the same men before the war! But here
the likeness stops. The attempt to force a
conflict between thewhites and blacks of the
South will fail as utterly as the attempt to
defeat the new republican constitutions
And for very practical reason. Ecery
calamity sciU be accented but that of another
surrender to tile authors Of the re5ellioa-
None know this so well as these men them
selves, and hence wherever you turn you
find reconstruction supported by some of the
ablest minds of the South. Partisans like
FORSYTH, of Alabama; King, NEW Orleans !;
Wise, of Virginia and Pike, of Tennessee,
are set off by patriots like Joshua Hill and
J. E. Brown, of Georgia; Alvord, of Missis-
sippi Bolts, of Virginia; w. H. Smith, of
Alabama; Holden and Barringer, of North
Carolina and Hamilton and Pease, of Texas
The, distress among all classes in the South
is only standing memory of the crime of
the rebellion and a CHASTITY admonition
against its repetition. That distress, having
been the work and the offspring of long
years of patient trial, and finally of bloody
war, cannot be cured in day. Time alone
can effect complete relief. and time must be
improved by different men with different
remedies These forces are operating, never
theless, with marvellous rapidity. Every
step is an advance step, never to be retraced,
and every moment adds to the triumph of
the right l happen to know that the logic
of the Republican party has reached many
of the original advocates of secession, and
not many weeks will elapse before the
country will be convinced OF the truth of
this observation. These men have suffered
from the error of confiding in the Northern
Democrats and Andrew johnson too often
and too bitterly to be lured by them again.
They see that the present Congress will not
only exclude all the electoral votes Cast by
rebels in the next election for President, but
that with Grant as the Republican candidate,
the new, or Forty first Congress, will be
more thoroughly Republican than its pred
ecessor They realize, too, that the only
effect of the opposition to reconstruction,
the attacks upon the colored people, and
the persistent falsehoods of the rebel agents
of the Associated Press, win he to compel
Congress to adopt yet sererer measures
Why. then. they ask, should they continue
to follow such fatal cOunsellOrs Why war
with the fate they delibrgi sly provoked p
WHY declaim against L-41ifits which are so
much more moderate than those they were
ready to accept when their savage expert
ment of resurrection was overthrow 3
These quessipns have gone home to the
hearts of millions in the South, and they
are daily anseercd by the sure progress,
however distracted of the great cause of
F,econstruction. II OCCASIONAL.

Surprise Parties.

What are now called surprise parties,
saws the New York Post, became qsite
in England about the year
1860, when they were called "Pic-Nic
Suppers." The bill of fare was pre-
pared-each dish being numbered-and
the subscribers to the entertainment
drew lots, and each was required to fur
aish the dish marked against the num-
Der he drew. This may be useful as a
hint to persons getting up surprise par
ties, which, by the way, are the most
sensible species of entertainment now
in vogue, because the entertainer is re-
quired to furnish only the parlors, and
is put to no trouble to prepare for the
guests, while the visitors furnish their
own supper and music, and thus equal
ize expenses. In that way people who
live iD pleasant house, but who cannot
AFFORD to prepare an entertainment en-
tlrely at their own cost, may still re-
celve their friends occasionally and en-
Joy a social and festal evening.
