WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, January 16.-General Gillem was before the Reconstruction Committee again to-day. He was ex- amined relative to the disturbances al- legged to have taken place ill the seven counties of Mississippi carried by the opponents of the constitution. He tes- tifed substantially that there was some disturbance there during the election, but not enough to materially affect the general result. He admitted that pro bably, in some cases, the negroes re- mained away from the polls through intimidation, but he did not think they absented themselves in any considera- ble numbers; or that if they had all been present it would have affected the election so as to secure majority in tha. section of the State for the Con- stitulon.

c,onfedera.es Notes.

The Supreme Court of Georgia, it is stated, has rendereda decision, confirm ing the decision of a lower court, that the consideration Of note given for borrowed Confederate money was a good and valid one. On the other hand, the Supreme Court Of Tennessee has rendered directly contrary deci- sion. Certainly test case should be made mp and taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, so that uniformity of practice may Do cstab- lishcd. We have no idea that the dcci- sion of the Georgia court would be sustained by the supreme national tribunal. We cannot think that it should be. To enforce payment, in the present currency of the country, of notes given for borrowed Confederate paper when forty or fifty dollars of that paper did not command more than one dollar in grccnbacks would be, whether legal or not, exceedingly un- just and oppressive. This matter is ono of no little importance. Obliga- tions, immense in amount, of the kind indicated, arc outstanding in the Southern States. Very many Ken tuckians gave such obligations while they were in the South during the war. What they received amounted 10 scar cely more than song. But let the people have by all means uniform and authoritive rule of settlement, what ever that rule may bc.-Courier Jour ..t

---------p~e-s . e-s--------------- Tle Negro Militia Bill.

It is said that the President will veto the negro militia bill on the ground that Congress has no power over the militia of the States. The bill is designed only for bad purposes. It had its origin in hate, revenge, and a thirst for power and domination. It proposes to give to some of the South ern States what it withholds from the rest. It allows Louisiana. Florida, the Carolinas, and Alabama to reorga- nize their militia, but forbids this privilege to Georgia, Virginia, and Texas. The effect of the bill upon the South, if it should become law and go into operation, cannot fail to be most deplorable Corrupt Radical demagogues will ordain what organ izations shall have arms and what ones shall not, and thus they will at all times have it in their power to compel the people into the adoption of what ever measures they please. Still we expect the bill 10 become a law in spite of the inevitable veto, and weex- pect this all the more for the very reason that it is so violent. Congress thinks that it can do nothing too bad against the people of States that refus- ed to indorse its action.-Courier Journal

Au.iin sen,snary.

The subject of education is one that interests every member of society. Wherever thcre arc good schools there is heaffhy state of morals and viz orous and prosperous growth of the country. Happily for Prairie county it is better supplied in this respect than most of it's neighbors. One oi our best schools is the Austin Semi nary, which win open it's third semi annual session on the first Monday in February, presided over by Prof. w. A. Garner and lady, and assisted by competent teachers. This institution is at Austin, in this county, quiet moral town, situated in an upland country, with pure air and good water We had the pleasure of attending the commencement exercises of this schoo last June, and was struck with the proficiency exhibited by several of tho classes. Prof. Garner is agood scholar and man of untiring energy, and fl in his right sphere when he is in tho school room. Parents and guardians would have to go far to find better place to send their children and wards than the Austin Seminary. For tht terms aud price of tuition we refel you to advertisement in this number of our paper.

nss. The January humber of Pack

ca The January number of Pack. ards Monthly contains an article from the pen of E. A. Pollard, the would-be historian of the late war, entitled 1.-The Flight and Capture ofJetferson Davis.
 This aspirant to literary fame as an historian, endued with only an easy, off-hand reportorial style, having mis- erably failed in the role of all historic writer, and notorious for nothing ex- cept his personal abuse of Mir. Davis, now caters to the prejudices of the Northern people by writing articles for Northern magazines, in which he tries to make the worst features of character appear by apparently placing a thin gauge over them. We have the most supreme contempt for such . man. It is really vexatious to sec the sly and insidious cunning with which he goes about besmsaring the character of the man of misfortune. Knowing the injustice of his attack he cannot assume bold and manly attitude, but must needs resort to the wiles of . dissembling nature, which only con- demns when it would seemingly jus tify. Having dwindled from model historian to paltry magazine writer, quarreled with and separated from his wife, without fortune or occupation, he will sooa be unworthy the notice of even ber-room rioters. If the pub fishers of this magazine do not want it circulated. in the South, they can hardly
 find more sure means than the em- joyment of Mr. Pollard to write such articles as the one in their last nnmter.

Operation Os the Fourteenth
 Amendment.

When the next Congress is assembled the question will no doubt come up whether, under the fourteenth amend ment, claimed by the Radicals to have been made in due form part of the Constitution, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri, while denying to their negroes the right of suffrage, will be entitled to their present number of members of the House of Representatives Our own State has nine Representatives, that being the number apportioned b her for her entire population white and black, but the fourteenth amendment says "When the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President or Vice President ** is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, ex- cept for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens, twenty one years of age, in such State"
 It would be weakness to doubt that the Congressional Radicals will undertake to enforce this amendment by cutting down the delegations of the three States men toned, unless they shall adopt negro sui. frase or unless the interruptions ,usurpers shall prefer the plan of having negro suf- frage imposed internationally upon all the States that don't voluntarily adopt it Under the operation of the amendmen, the Kentucky delegation would be cut down to seven, or. at most, eight Whether the fourteenth amendment was attached to the Constitution in constitu- tional manner might well be a question for the decision of the Supreme Court, but past events abundantly show that the court is utterly incapable of making q successful resistance to the will of Con. gress, no matter what that will may be- It is wretched cripple.
 If the House of Representatives shall determine to reduce the delegations of Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri, i, must be decided what member of those delegations shall be rejected and what ones permitted to take their seats. But we don see by what rule or upon what principle the House can decide this The difficulty seems to us insurmountable for all of the members of each of tho three delegations stand upon the same footing Congress, reckless as it is, could hardly venture to assume the responsibility of discriminating without reason or even the pretext ofa reason. If Congress is deter mined Co execute the fourteenth amend mens upon the three refractory or rather selt-rcspecting States we think that il will have to practice the mischievous and most injurious asurpstion of annulling the elections in those States altogether, and leaving the people to elect new and smaller delegations.

Our wealth.

The Atlantic seaboard of the United States, says an exchange, extends about 9,5o0 miles, and the Mississippi and its tributaries open up an inland navigation of 30, 900 miles, upon the bosom of which IS now floating an amount of commerce three times as great in value as the whole foreign commerce of the country. In for. mer times the trade with foreign ports was looked upon as our most important interest. It is now dwarfed by the trans. portation and handling of domestic mar kcts. In 1860, the entire product of the United States was sl,906,000 Its ex ports were less than one. fifth of this amount, leaving four iflhs to be exchang- ed between the States, It has been said thas, at the present time, not more than one fifteenth of the business of New York city is based upon foreign commerce
 The Mississippi drains l,7S5, ,0oo square miles, which is more than half tho num- Der of square miles in tue United States 76S ,000,0 acres of the finest land in the world. It has space for l5o States of the size of Massachusetts, and were its popu- lation in the same proportion it would contain more than five times the present population of tho whole United States s.t this time not more than one acre in five is under cultivation. and the vast resources of coal and mineral have hardly began to be developed. The fourteen States which comprise this region claim (though this is wiihou, reason) that they pay more than one half the taxes, and that they work more than half the improved land and have a majority of tbe popula- ton of the United States. The value of the annual commerce of the Mississippi is estimated at S2,00G.000, 900, and the Agricultural Bureau, basing it's calcula tions upon past results, estimates that in the year 1900 the cereal products of the West will amount te more than S3,000,- 00000
 The value of crops, as well as of the productions of the mines and the forest, depend mainly on facilities tor transporta- ton, either natural or artificial. The Mississippi is but one of the outlets of the vast region through which it passes The great lakes open wide belt of this coun- try, and canals and railroads bring almost every farm within easy distance of natural navigation. The estimated cost ofconvey- ing ton of merchandise mile on the ocean is from half cent to one and half cents; on lakes two cents on river two and three-fourth cents on canals two to five cents, and on the railroads from three to thirteen and half cants. or the amount of grain received at Chicago 70 per cent comes by railway, but from that city only 10 per cent is sent East by rail road, whilst 90 per cent is sent by the lakes The merchants manufactures, and consumers of the East, have an interest in reducing the cost of transportation to the lowest possible point; and this can be most easily effected by improving the water communications. Cheap transpor- tation is vital necessity to our whole country, and, if it is secured, the resources of the vast and fertile regions even further West will be developed as surely as time endures, and more rapidly than we can at present imagine.
