We would respectf ully ask the question

committee Of nine? Did they not preach
its sermon little too soon ?-NorJo!k

veloped by boring for our artesian well,

ton by Congress. This, therefore, may be

Referring to the message of President
Grant, we can now sincerely thank the

self-sacrifcing labors. We deem them well

"A Georgia paper tells us of family Of
returned exiles-a family that went to
Honduras at the end Of the war expecting
to realize large fortune, but q pretty long
residence in the desired haven of rest
nearly starved them, and exhausted their
means "-Neu Yorb Times.
This is great pity, and all generous
men must sympathize with those sensi-
tive persons who, unable to bear the morti-
fioations which they deemed in store for
them, left their native land but to meet
with greater misfortunes elsewhere.
It is remarkable that while the revolu-
ton led in many instances to this sort Of
self-exile there was another effect at home
which was hardly less disastrous. We
mean the large emigration of northern peo-
pie to the cotton States from motives Of
gain. These people were impressed with
the idea that they could amass fortunes by
taking hold Of the rich plantations of the
southern cotton-planters. The northern
man assumed that these were neither indus
trious nor practical, and that his energy
and system, his forecast and machinery,
could make hundreds whore they had not
made tens. There never was q greater
mistake, and 80 he found by bis bitter ex-
perience; as, in almost every instance,
every dollar thus invested in cotton lands
and cotton tillege was lost. Nowhere
in the world has the tiller Of the soil
displayed more administrative ability and
forecast than has the southern planter. He
was more successful than any who may
come after him are likely to be. he made
more with his labor than it has been found
possible for the northern people to make!
with the same labor. !.
We shall never know the millions that
have been lost in this way by our northern
fellow-citizens. Their losses were incom-
parably greater than those of the exiles.
It's quite interesting to consider the move
menss OF the two classes of men, and their
different motives, resulting in disasters 10
beth that were distressing and ruinous.

General Grants Reconstruction.

Thu concurrence Of General GRANT in
the p,an Of the committee Of " nine" which
has been so earnestly sustained by the
liberal Republicans from Virginia, is not
faint ana apathcsic, but earnest and active.
We find that he is decidedly sustained by
the Republican organs Of the North. The
TID.ae thus warmly supports the Presi-
dent: (The italics are the 1riouns's.)
aThe message Of President Grant to-day
IN regard to reconstruction in Virginia and
Mississippi was expected by those familiar
With his views. His policy is'bslieued TO
be similar to that steadily urged oy she
Tr;bune-viz., aniversGl amnesty ana am
wersal syfraqe- and it is certain that he Is
strongly opposed 10 the distranchaseme:m ana
disqualification clauses contained IN the
Virginia and Mississippi constitutions. he
wishes to see these submitted separately
and also the county organization system, 80
that if they are rejected working govern
ment may still be promptly organized Tor
the two States in accordance with the policy
of the reconstruction acts Of Congress. He
Is opposed to all other tests than they op'
pose, and desires all these questions to be
promptly and peacefully settled"
The game paper deVotes the following
concise and forcible paragraph to the same
subject: .,..
General Grants first message to Con
gress on matter Of general policy is emf
nently wise, judiciOus, and timely. We art
glad to note the signs Of the immediate
Effect it produced, and to believe that now
we shall have no adjournment until, as the
