RECoNsTRUCTIoS.
The work of restoring State Govern
ments loyal to the Union of protecting
and fostering free labor, and providing
means for paying the interest on the pub
lie debt, has received ample attention
from Congress, although your efforts have
not met with the success in all particulars
that might have been desired yet on the
whole they have been more successful than
could have been reasonable anticipated
Seven States have been fully restored to
their places in the Union. The eighth,
Georgia, had an election, at which she
ratified her Constitution, Republican in
form, elected Governor, members Of
Congress, State Legislature and all 9TH
er officers required. The Governor was
duly installed, and the Legislature met
and performed all the acts then required
of them By the reconstruction acts of Con-
gress.
Subsequently, however. in violation of
the constitution which they had just rati-
fed, as since decided by the Supreme
Court of the State, they unseatcd the col
ored members of Legislature and admit
ted to seats some members who are dis
qualified by the second clause ofthe l4th
amendment to the Constitution, an arti-
Gle which they themselves had contributed
to ratify.
Under these circumstances | would
submit to you whether it would not be
wise without delay to enact law author
izing the Governor of Georgia to convene
the members originally elected to the
Legislature, requiring these members TO
take the oath prescribed by the recon-
struction act and none to be admitted who
are ineligible under the third clause of the
l4th amendment
At the March term Congress by Joint
resolution authorized the Executive to Or
der elections in the States Of Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, to submit TO them
the constitutions which each had previ.
ously in convention framed, and to sub
nit these constitutions, either in entire or
in separate parts, TO be voted upon at the
discretion of the Executive. Under this
authority elections were called. In Vir.
ginia the election took place on the 9th
of July, 1869. The Governor and Lieut.
Governor elected have been installed, the
Legislature met and did all required by
the reconstruction acts of Congress and
abstained from all doubtful authority.

From the Cincinnati Commercial. Feb. /


The real estate dealers in Chicago have
been holding meeting and fixing up an
organization that they call union. The
main thing under discussion at the meet
ing was tue price of advertising in the
Chicago newspapers. 1t Is very curious
tina: the dealers seemed 10 think that one
newspaper was as good as another to adyer
Use IL, ard that they should discriminate
against those that charged high prices.
The fact that an advertisement in a paper
that charged twelve and one-halT cents per
line might be worth ten times as much TO
the advertiser as if it were in a paper
charging four ceDts line, did not seem
occur to the dealers. And several Of them
we're so idiotic as 10 talk Of running up the
circulation Of newspaper dClh cheap ddUer-
tising. There is nothing that kills Retu8,
paper as fast as cheap advertisements. They
fill up the space in which the paper could
be made interesting, and, being unprofta-
bic, the whole concern sinks. The only
healthy policy is to charge good price for
advertisements in proportion to circulation
that is, the number Of papers circulated, and
the classes Of persons among achom they are
circuidted-dnd thus obtain large revenue
out Of small space, and use the larger pOr-
ton Of the papertOr reading matter Of general
interest, keeping up the circulation and in

Dry Goods, etc, etc.

| Dry GOoDs.-The dry goods market
has been rather languid since our last re-
port, yet prices at former quotations are
| firmly demanded, from sympathy with the
reaction in the raw material and the cot
| of production. IT should hardly be ex.
pected that we would note decline, when
we are advised that cotton at &c per
pound will barely produce standard sheet
ings at 16!c per yard, prime cost, and in
view of decided stifeniDg in the price of
cotton, and an active demand for all goods
incident TO the spring trade, we may as we'll
advise our readers that they need not with
hold their purchases anticipating decline.
All cotton fabrics will at an early day
command fully our quoted prices, and
while trade may have been dali for the
past tive weeks, and the Important sta
pie" little droopy, yet our Wholesale |
men have displayed no less energy in pre-
pairing themselves with large stocks, and |
are now ready, perhaps, to offer the largest |
as well as the most replete stocks hitherto |
offered since tie war. Every department
in our various dry goods houses is well
filled, and when customers present them
selves will be served satisfactorily, and
the closest competition with other
markets will be faVOrably observed.

settlers from Ohio.

A large party of Germans from Ohio
have recently purchased large farm al
Bells Mills, on the Cumberland river
eighteen miles below this city, paying for
the same $65,0O0 in cash. They came
around as passengers on the Emma Floyd,
and landed there on Monday. Among the
party were eleven bachelors aud six old
maids. Their freight included hogs,
horses, cattle, a saw mill, and everything
necessary for big settlement. When we
mention that they paid over 500 for
freight, il will give some idea of the ex-
tent of their implements for commencing
work. They are represented as a thrifty
family, and it is safe TO say that in few
years at most, the farm which they pur-
chased will be doubled in value, and every
one Of the party a millionaire.
