us to be the most important questions which

want green backs also, and many a man with
the ballot in his hand, is without dollar in

at heart. We want to see the fields green
again with wheat and corn we want to see
millions Of pounds Of tobacco manufactured
in Virginia again we want to see factories on
the banks of the Virginia rivers; We want to
sec railroads built to the mines of coal, and
iron. lead and gypsum; and then we want to
see iron founaries; smelling mills and plaster

The Virginia Committee.


WASHINGTON, January 22.-The session
Of the Committee On Reconstruction to day
IVES very interesting and Important.
Col John B. Baldwin, Of Stanton, at The
request Of the Committee, first explained full
ly the legal aspect of the Methodist church
property question and the bearing of that
question on the peace and harmony of society
in Virginia.
Mr.. Phelps, representing the Methodist
Episcopal Church North, was present, and
began his reply, but gave way to allow COL B.
to state, 90 behalf Of the Virginia Commit.
tee, their views in regard to the constitution
advocated by Governor Wells and the means
of successful rcconstruction Col B. spoke
eloqucnly for an hour and was listened to
with marked attention. In reply to ques-
tons Of the Committee, he expressed his
confident belief that the people Of the State
would support and carry out in good faith the
plan he advocated.
Mr.. Boutwell,, the Chairman Of the Com
mittce, said that Congress and the people Of
the North were anxious to remove political
disabilities at the South as soon as they should
feel that it could bs safely done. lie could
not see how guarantees could be given by
Virginia that loyalists would be protected );
but would Ike to hear Mr.. Baldwin on that
subject.
Nir. Baldwin, in reply, said that upon his
own responsibility, as a Virginian and gentle
man, they would be as safe in Virginia as
anywhere in the world, and that the people
and courts would give full force to the laws
and perfect protection to all men and all
classes.
Mr. franklin stcarns, of Richmond, at the
request of the Committee, spoke on the snb
iect. He said that since the defeat Of the
Democratic party the people Of Virginia
were ready to comply with the reconstruction
laws, and that moro than half Of the property
holders were ready to restore the State on the
basis proposed by the Committee Of Nine. If
the State was restored under the pending
Constitution. with disfranchisemen:s and coun-
ty organizations stricken out, she would i'm
nediately have her prosperity revived, and
rapidly grow in wealth and population So
restored, justice would be impartially admin
istcred and all classes completely protected
Mr. stcarns was listened to atteutlvcly, and
his statement made decided impression.
