Congress and It's Purpose--The Course of

This Congress is evidently to be the
John the Baptist Of the Coming Man. Pre-
pare the way of Grant, make straight the
path of his feet, IS the announcement and
the purpose of the period. It is plain that
the double desire to please and to guard
Grant, influences all measures offered or
likely to be offered. For instance, Georgia
is to be recast, Virginia is to be put in the
mOlds of inceptive Statehood. Texas and
Mississippi are 10 be stimulated into speedy
reorganization. The Southern question is
to be 80 fixed this session az to REQUIRE
from the new administration only the ex-
ecution of such acts of the Fortieth Con-
gress as the Forty first Congress will not
repeal. Nothing Is to be left to the option
OF the next Executive. The laws are to
be literally obvious and unmisLakabie. The
possibility of fairness or humanity in their
execution is TO be prevented in advance.
The Congress is to FIX the future beyond
contingency, if may be. The motives to
this exactness and Radical thOroughness
proceed from the fsct that this Congress
has the requisite twO-thirds to override
veto and the next will not, as well as from
the consideration that the present body take
pride in imPressing as much of their pol
icy and acts as possible upon the future.
Hence, most of their propositions ars per-
spective. as will be seen. The purged and
purified Legislature of Georgia is to meet
next April. IL Atlanta. The election in
Virginia is to be held in May. Any laws
toward the speedier reconstruction of Tex
as and Mississippi, will be ordered to take
practical effect next summer. Messrs. Ed
muuds aud BroOmall. in the Senate end
House, respectively, propose to declare
now that the bonds. DC. to be paid here
4fter shall be paid in coin.

pushed through the Republican Congress

Chief Justice Chase. who has recently re-
turned from Richmond, speaks in fateriDg
terms Of the Southern people. He thinks
there are no people more loyal or more anx-
iOus for peace and harmony between the
two sections, and that, ifpermitted to do so,
they would very soon recover from the dis
astrous results of the rebellion. The ac-
ton of the Chief Justice il sustaining the
motion to quash the Davis indictment was
anticipated but it was expected that the
vindietiVe nature ofJudge Underwood would
prompt him to dissent and necessitate the
question being certified to the Supreme
Court. The Chief Justic thinks there is no
doubt about the opinion being sustained by
the other members of the court.

Reading Club in Pulaski.

Mr.. McCoRD
I desire to call the attention of the citi-
Eens of Pulaski and it's vicinity to the i'm
Portance Of forming Reading Club. The
advantages of an association of that charac-
ter trust are obvious to every one.
suppose there are at least one hundred citi-
gems in the town and its vicinity who would
be willing to become members at an annual
subscription of Eve dollars. Let a suitable
room be procured, and handsomely carpet
ed and fitted up with tables. chairs &C., and
a Librarian appointed who would at ali
times have charge of the room. An Exec
utive Committee appointed to select and
subscribe for the best newspapers and peri
Odicals. In this way we might obtain not on
ly the best newspapers aud periodicals pub
lished IN America, but also some few prin-
ted in Europe. Nor would in condne the
reading by any means to partisan politics,
but selecting the leading organs from each
side, Literary Publications, Law and Med
ical Journals, Agricultural, Northumberland
Religious. Let every member Of the asso-
citation, or any of his family. have free ao-
cess to the room. and none others, except
strangers and visitors who might be invited
by the members.
These are mere suggestions. The So
ciety when formed will make its own rules
and regulations. II an association Of this
kind was formed and kept up for a few
years we would collect one Of the most val
liable Libraries in the country. The most
ssnguine cannot calculate its effects upon
society. The noble youth of the country,
instead Of wasting their valuable time in
idleness, and often in dissipation aud vice.
would be employed in the noblest and high
est pursuit, that Of knowledge. What pa

fsssion or vocation, who would not cheer
