senator BucknTctr on Recon.
sfruCffOl.

Hon. Charles r. Buckalew, on the
29th ult., delivered an able speech, il
the L. $. Senate, on the subject o.
reconstruction. Below will be found
that portion showing the relation the
Senate sustains to the States and the
people under fanatical rule.
Mn. BUcKALEw said: Mrpresident
one aspect OF the general subject Of
reconstruction has not been made
prominent in this debate SO far as il
has progressed. / think we should
take up this great subject and discuss
1t with reference to the question OF
party power which is involved in it,
and which, whatever may appearupon
the surface, really inpircs those who
speak on both sides, We shall get a
very inadequate idea of the subject OF
reconstruction if we confne ourselves
TO u discussion of the matter of the
acts of Congress which were passed
in relation to it during the past year.
We shall get very inadequate idea
of it if we discuss il with reference to
the capacity Of the adult colored men
of the South for the exercise of the
right Of suffrage, we shall fail TO
grasp and 70 comprehend il as it must
be grasped and comprehended by the
highest intolligenceif we confine our
selves to those considerations which
relate to it as mere plan for the polit.
zeal reorganization of the South.
Because this is so, as | believe, /
shall begin my remarks by describing
the existing organizations Of power
in the Government Of the United
States, or rather in the legislative de-
partment or branch of that Govern.
ment. Mr.. President, by referring to
statistics, which are now within
reach, we shall ascertain that recently
there were at the popular elections
held in the northern, central, and
western States votes given which,
when aggregated together, amounted
to little more than two million one
hundred thousand in favor Of what is
known as the Republican party; and
votes were also given in favor OF what
is known as the Democratic party, or
Conservative party, amounting TO a
little over two million The difference
between tho sums total Of voets given
to each party was about one hundred
and fifteen thousand:

SIR have the honor to acknowl.
edge the receipt of your communica-
ton of the 10th instant, accompanied
by the statements of five Cabinet min
isters of their recollection of what oc-
cured in the Cabinet meeting on the
l4tn January. Without admitting
anything contained in these statements
whore they differ from anything here
tofore stated by me, | propose TO no
tice only the portion ofyour commune
cation wherein ! am charged with
insubordination / think it will be
plain 10 the reader of my letter Of the
Both Of January, that | did not pro
pose TO dlsobey any legal orders Of
the President distinctly given, but on
ly gave an Interpretation Of what
would be regarded as satisfactory ev-
idence of the Presidents S sanction to
orders communicated By the Secreta-
nv of War. ! will say here that your
letter of the 10th instant contains
the first intimation i have had that
you did notaccept that Interpretation,
for the reasons for giving that inter
probation. 1t was clear to me before
my letter of January 80, was written
that !, the person having moro public
business to transact with the Secreta-
ry of War than any other OF the Pres
ident's subordinates, was the only one
who had been instructed to disre-
gard the authority of Mr.. Stanton
where his authority was derived as
agent of the President. On the 9th
of January | received letter from
the Secretary OF War, copy herewith
directing me to furnish an escort TO
the public treasure from the Rio
Grande, to New Orleans, &C., at the
request of the Secretary Of the Treas.
ury to him. | also send two other
enclosures, showing the recognition
of Mr.. Stanton as Secretary of War
by both the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Postmaster General, in all of
which cases the Secretary of War had
to call upon me TO make the orders
requested, or to give the information
desired, and where his authority to do
so is derived, in my view as agent OF
the President, with an order 50 clear
" ambiguous as thatof the Presidents s
here referred TO, il was my duty to
inform the President of my interpre-
tation of it, and to abide by that in
depreciation until received other or
dcrs.

heretofore, OF disobeying any legal or
der of the President, distinctly com

ROMEO, the murderous elephant, is
still rampant. He has got one leg out
of its fetter, and is engaged in demol-
ishing everything that comes within
his reach. A huge pen of planlls,
through which sharp spikes are driven,
backed by heavy bank of earth has
been erected about him. Nobody can
be found to replace the letters. The
Philadelphia Hedrid suggests that Mr..
Forepaugh send for some Of the Radi-
cal Congressman, who have succeeded
in lettering the sovereign States and

BEAUTIFUL RuEToRIc.-The N. Y.
Times has just opened its eyes to the
fact that enormous expenditures OF
the last six years have built up an in
fluence which is now the greatest OBJ
stacle to retrenchment The editor
is convinced now, that "an army of
contractors and officials have drawn
sustenance from the Treasury until
they begin to fancy that they have a
vested interest in its funds They
have lived so comfortably and prosper
cd so pleasantly on the fruits of the
war, that they have not relish for
changes involving a stoppago of the
public pay. They have grown insolent
on contracts and per centagcs and
salaries, and decline to fall back on
their own resources. The servants
arc putting on the airs of masters
They have undertaken to dictate
whore retrenchmort shall commence
and where it shall end They assume
the right to say what Congress shall
cut down, what shall bo kept up; and
they are organizing and pulling wires
in all directions TO save themselves
from the operation Of the economic
ing process. In other words, the vest
ed interest in and about Washington
are resisting with all their might, the
popular demand for retronchment, and
their combined strength is sufficiently
great TO excite uncasiness to the proba-
bic result"
Now, nothing could be truer or
better expressed than all this, but the
Times, nevertheless, is a supporter of
the spendthrift and shoddy contrac-
tors party When the public plum
dercrs and the leeches come together
to conspire how they can retain pow
er for another four years, we should
like TO have some assurance that this
journal will not be calling upon its
readers TO "vote the regular ticket p

THE WAY THE MONEY GoEs.--A
short time since it was ascertained
that quite an extensive imposition was
being practiced on the Subsistence De
partment of the army by persons
claiming and obtaining Communication
of rations for the time, as they alleged,
they were held as prisoners by the
rebels BY these false representations,
it is presumed there haveibcen obtain
ed at least $40, 900 by coored families.
Some months ago, q woman giving
the name OF ANGELA Paden, with
Walker Gilchrist, appeared at the Of
flee of Colonel Bell, commissary
of subsistence, and a claim was put
in for commutation of rations in the
name of the former, whose husband
was represented to have died in Lib
by prison, and the latter sworc to the
fact, and in the course of a few weeks
the amount-over 500 was paid to
her. 1t was subsequently found that
the claim was fraudulent, and that
other claims in which Gilchrist had
appearedas'a witness were also frauds.
lie was arrested Other parties arc
supposed to be concerned with him in
this money making business.

Good vs.. Bad Breed Of Hogs.

Reader, did you ever see shoat while
roofing, kick up every time he bored his nose
into the ground. as if trying to stand ON lis
head If so, don't buy him; he will not
prove profitable feeder. We might call
this a sub-soil variety.
Did you ever see a hog that would crab an
ear of corn and run quarter of mile be-
fore he would stop to eat ? If so, beware.
We will place such in the same category, and
for the sake of distinction we will call then
elm peelers. Did YOU ever see a tall. slab.
sided, lonr.lcgged, razor-backed breed that
were always hungry. and when opportunity
required, would climb up to where the rails
in the fence were some distance apart. and
then either slip through crack or throw off
few rails and lump over? If so. don't
purchase unless YOU are small farmer and
can't possibly build corn-cribs We might
perhaps call these free-soilers or else barn.

required to get up motion. and still not die
its eyes both coming out at the same hole. or
at least so near it that the hog appeared cross
eyed2 If so. let us pass the dismal picture
and simply call them old-liners. All these
breeds may be described as follows, Long
ears, large. heavy heads. long and thick lees
4 streak of lean underneath a thick erizzIe
and that covered with thick. touch hide
