Reconstruction

Reconstruction comes to the fore
ground again, on the reassembling of
Congress. The States to be done
anew or done over again are the
three yet unreconstructed and Georgia
and Louisiana Virgins is provided
for by an election in May, so far as
the House is concerned. The Senate
must yet pass the bill. 1t is believed
it will.
The Flournoy committee or Mlssis-
sipPi are coming back to urge the adj
mission OF that State under the de-
feated constitution and the disregard
of Gillem's election returns. That
General, however,and Colonel Riddle,
of his staff, will be on hand to sustain
the fairness of the election and the
returns under it. The Texas matter
awaits the representations of General
Reynolds.
The representatives from Louisiana
now in Congress urge the setting
aside the whole election in that State.
Their allegation is terrorism, and
their complaint the success of Sey-
mour and Blair, and the election of
five Democratic Congressman in the
State The proposed action in the
case OF Georgia and Louisiana invol-
v,-s the reia 'tiD".,f the, hector I votes
of the s IN, Il II instance uf
30 a. .sctorti votes nave.

What Gen. Grant shOu1d Do.

New YOEEs January 4.-The TINES says:
THE whole country-expects to see General
Grant enter at his accession upon a bold,
resolutc and determined crusade against bad
government, and the boider and more reso-
lutte he makes it the more completely viii he
be supported. The Tenure of ONCE bill
ought to bearepealed. General Grant sho'd
be left entirely free to undertake and exc
cute such reforms in the civil service as
may be required. If Congress secs the wis
dom of making good behavior the sole ten
ure of Office, letit adopt Mr.. Jeneke's Civil
Service bill, but until some general provi-
sions of this sort are adopted General Grant
should have power over appointments and
rempvals which the Constitution gives
him.

A COTENrPoRARY suggests to viz
tuous Radical o~fiice-seekers that the
information about Grants burning
unread, all applications for Office e
shrewd device OF the enemy. A few
Radicals who propose to try TO get
hold OF all the omces have started
this report in order to discourage eff
fort on the part OF rivals" We wo'd
not be surprised II there Is a great
deal of truth in this. We would,
therefore, advise all Radicals wanting
Office land that means the whole iribe)
not to.be baffied by this trick, but 70
i~ncessantly- pile up the documents
upon Grants table, and in writing
them out to remember Brigham
Young's motto: "Blessed Is he whe
blows his own horn, for If he don't
blow 1t the same shall never be
blown"

Georgia Reconstruction

1t seems that, although Georgia wns
reconstructed in the regular Congress
iOnal form as q member of the Union,
she Is to be turned out Of the Union
because she has not done exactly what
the Radicals OF Congress intended
That she should do. Thus it is. Those
fellows at Washington will drag States
into the Union aud let them beStates
and act Is States il they will be and
act upon Radical principles, but must
be. expelled and be nonAStates il they
dare to act upon principles Of their
own.

The Cairo evening bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1868-1870, 1869-12-14

Tho festival and supper called out a
large crowd last night, and there was
'carcely any limit TO the enjoyment.
The brightest-ayed, rosiest.cheeBed
young ladies of the city were there the
peasantest married ladies, the jolliest
husbands! Don't talk of Christopher
Nibbles' oyster supper on quarter day!
There were happier mascuines at the
festival last night than Kit was, and hap
pier feminlnes than was Mrs. Kit. To.
higbt another gay and happy crowd will
gather; good things will be dispensed
with liberal hand; men, women and
children will eat, drink and be merry
adding the while something to the fund
that is to be- applied to tho good Of the
poor, the sick and the homeless.
Turn out, rain or shine, and again fiji
the hall. The few dimes you may part
with Will make you no poorer ia purse
and q great deal richer in spirit.
