SINGULAR Posr OFFICE ROBBERY CAsR-
The Post Odice Department Is advised OF a
very singular case Of post Office depreciation
at Brighton, Massac husetts, which seems to
puzzle the legal gentlemen Of the Depart
ment. Tho circumstances are as follows:
portion of which was occupied by the post
mistress, and, seeing letter In his box, with
a key he had in his pocket unlocked the post
office and took his letter from the box, lock-
ing the door again as he came out. Upon
this he was arrested by a special agent of the
Post Office Department and held by United
States Commissioner Hallett in $500 bail for
appearance at court at the October term.
Whether II lie criminal to take ones own, or
whether public entrance into room to
take letter constitutes forcible entry, are
the questions on one side, and the very forcl-
bic question whether the post office can allow
such precedent, appears on the other.

PASSAGE OF THE BILL

At balf-psst nine o'clock General
Butler called up the Virginia-MissiSsip-
pl-lexas Reconstruction bill The
democrats, who were SO nearly mani
NOUS for it the other day, at once show
ed disposition to oppose it. This was
on account of the Morton amendment
and other additions made by the Senate,
all of which are Objectionable to the
democrats. Butler moved to suspend
the rules for thu purpose of taking the
bill from the Speakers table. Eldridge
and half a dozen democrats were on
their feet at once, calling for the yeas
and nays. The rules were suspended
and the bill was before the House
Butter now moved concurrence In the
Senate amendments. Woodward, OF
Pennsylvania, commenced the filibus-
tering by moving to adjourn. Eldridge
thought he would kill time by calling
ior the yeas and nays on the motion of
Woodward. At this time there were
just enough democrats in the hall to
demand the yeas and nays, provided
they all stood up to be counted. Wood
ward, who seemed satisfied with the
part he had taken in the matter, sat
still in his seat, evidently in pleasant
doze, while his brethren stood up eager
TO muster all the strength they could.
Get upl get up!" shouted Eldridge at
Woodward, loud enough to be heard all
over the hall. The commanding tones
of Eldridge and the hurried manner in
which Woodward jumped to his feet
created general laughter. The bill as
amended passed.

MONDAY MORNING, April 70, 1856
TIME FOR ACTION COMING.

The very best remedy against the
prevailing disease of carpet-bagism, So
much prated about by the Bourbon and
his poets, is for the people to come for
ward and qualify themselves, as an an
tidote agaiost the disease, by going in
for immediate reconstruction, so that
our own citizens may be enabled to take
the carpet bagger's place. The places
are to be filled anyway, and if our own
people will not follow the example set
them by Gen. Longstreet, they must ex-
pect to see the positions filled by those
who will or are qualified We look upon
it as an act of patriotism of the highest
order for men to come forward now in
this trying emergency in the State, and
in the very face of the foolish prejudi-
ces that exist, declare themselves in &C.
cord with the Administration of Presi-
dent Grant for the purposes Of speedy
restoration to the Union,
We we've assured by the Northern
Democratic authorities during the late
Presidential contest, that if their party
gained the election, the reconstruction
law would have to be carried out. Then
III this view Of the case what is to pre-
vent the most inveterate Bourbon in the
State of Virginia from putting himself
in position on the Conservative Repub-
lican platform with Gilbert c. Walker,
10 order to carry out that law, now that
President Grant has been elected, and
has shown himself in favor Of enabling
the people of Virginia to take the mat.
tor in their own hands, and is also en-
deavoring to strip the law of some Of its
rig3rs. We see nothing to prevent them
except q wilful perverseness, which we
think many Of them will be unwilling
to adhere to when the hour Of action ar
rivcs. .-r..
Since the end of the war we have
never seen matters look so propitious
for the people of our State to take hold
with an Intelligent hand and govern
matters to their own liking, except in
the case of the Howard Amendment.
We discarded that opportunity, and
now the progress OF the revolution has
turned up another opportunity for US,
by and through the "new movement -
and as intelligent beings, having COR
rect knowledge OF our helpless condition
and the bright prospects offered us in
the future if we do not prove sluggards,
we shall really deserve to suffer ten fold
if we allow the present opportunity to
fit by without making proper effort
to rescue the State from the possession
Of what we are so prone to stigmatise
as carpet-bagism. Let us avoid the
evils of the inevitable" as far as we
can by turning it to our own benefit.
Vote the Walker Administratio Ticket,
under which the State can be recon-
structed.

VIRGINIA RECONSTRUCTION


The ,Lynchburg Virginian hopes that
the most obnoxious features Of the con-
stitution will be eliminated by the vote
Of the people and adds that if this
result shall follow it will be wholly due
to the exertions Of the much abused
Committee Of Nine, who were instru-
mental in bringing the atrocious features
of this constitution to the attention of
Congress. They have "done much good
in this regard, as our Do nothing friends
are won to say, in irony. But for the
action of the Nine there would, as VIC
believe, have been no split in the Re-
publican party in this State. They en-.
boldened the more conservative men in
that organization to take a stand against
the proscriptiv features Of the Under
wood system, sDd induced them to g
before Congress to ventilate its atrocity,
whereby they lost the friendship of the
Wells wing OF the party. which eventu.
ally eliminated in tho row at Petersburg
and the nomination of the respectable
Republican ticket. We believe that
stripped of all guises, this is fair state
ment Of the case, slow as some OF ouI
friends are TO concede the point.
And now, if we are to have an early
election, we hope that steps will be ia
ken to bring about a better understand
| ing between the Conservatives and the
moderate Republicans. We are no
moved to make'this suggestion with any
view to the division Of the spoils, but
solely to insure the defeat Of the radica
carpet bag negro party, and to insure
an honest, economical State admins
