FaNCIFUL WRITING,

4 lady correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, one of Forney's ''two papers,
both daily, who gives sketches of things
about the capitol at Washington, and
grows eloquent over the Senate chamber
''under the gas light" makes some pen
ank-ink sketches of Senators, including
the following:
Gin the outer circle of senatorial chairs
map be seen the one occupied by the col
ored man from Mississippi. AS yet it can
not be said that a negro or black man has
broken into Congress. Senator Revels has
the heado of bronze statue, and his hands
are Anglo-Saxon. But the cruel weight
of slavery has left its mark upon him.
He brings to bear upon the tufted Wilton
of the Senate chamber the plantation
walk. Slave idiom clings to his mellow,
flute-like speech. He looks so lonely ano
forlorn in his seat, the first in the edge OF
the charmed circle, just as if he had beer
washed there by some great tidal wave,
which had retired, never more to return
Senator Revels is good man, but MOI
great. And yet, in legislative attainments
he compares favorably with the majority
of the new Senators from the recon
structed States. F"
Unfortunately for the sentimental de
duction of the unfair writer about thu
''cruel weight of slavery" and the ''plan
tation's walk" the fact is that Reveli
never was slave or plantation negro,
and as to the idiom, it certainly belong
more to the race than to slavery. TIT
Baltimore Sun says those who heard Rev
els lecture in that city before he deliver
ed his speech in the Senate, state that h
betrayed no peculiar idiom at all, and it j
not indicated that he did so in his speed
in the Senate the other day. The lady
imagination is rather free.

RECONSTRUCTION.

The inquiry comes up to us from all
parts of the State, and from men of every
political hue and shade: What of recon-
struction? We answer: We know moth
ing definite. We hope for the BEST and
believe that we have grounds that will
justify this hope. The Radical office
seekers are torturing and twisting every
thing of fact and fiction into its most
horrible shape to give colOring to their
astonishing relations of what has recently
transpired in Tennessee. But the people
of the North, the sober, sensible people,
the business people of all shades
of political feeling, are beginning
to see and feel that political Radicalism is
of the earth, earthly; that it has its effect
upon sublunary interests; that all classes
of men, that all of the various vacations
of busy life know its effect from actual
experience, and that while the electric
power is applied here, the shock is felt in
the furtherest New England town.
While reconstruction may be desired
by Radical office-seekers, it may be well
for Republicans on principle to know that
Southern Republicanism cannot stand
the shock of Congressional interference.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

Next Saturday is the day of election.
Every man must be at the polls and vote
for or against the Constitution. 1t is be-
lieved by many that all of this Congress
sional furry about reconstruction has been
gotten up for the especial purpose of driv-
ing voters from the polls, and keeping
them from voting for the new Constitu-
ton. Every man, therefore, should go to
the polls. There is no man living, who
has seen a more important day. fyou
are in favor of the Constitution, go to the
polls and vote for it. If you are not, go
to the polls and vote square out against it.
If the Constitution is ratified by only a
small majority it will be claimed by the
reconstructionists as triumph, and as an
additional reason why the State should be
placed under military government Every
man should come out and vote The new
Constitution ought to be carried by one
hundred thousand votes. Let every man
come forth and vote, and all will be well.

MIR. GOLLADAY, OF KENTUCK

MIR. SsOLLADAH, OF kENIBSh .
The Military Committee of the House
of Representatives have reported that
there was no evidence to sustain the ale,
CATION that Mr.. Golladay, of Kentucky
had sold the appointment of cadet. We
do not suppose that there ever was any
one in Congress or out of it, who believed
any such charge against MIR. Golladay.
We are satisfied that no one of his con.
stituenis, no man who knows him in
Kentucky or elsewhere, ever for a mo.
ment entertained any idea of his guilt.
The extreme sensitivcness of honor, i'm
properly impugned, a morbid pride OF
character unjustly assailed, fear or con-
tempt of Congressional Radical justice,
and a high appreciation Of Kentucky
chivalry, Kentucky honor, and Kentucky
justice may have induced him, in the
haste and irritation of a moment, TO have
rendered his resignation TO his political
enemies and appealed TO his constituents,
when these very constituents would have
preferred that he should have fallen vic
tim TO The injustice of his partizan Oppo-
nants, rather than give those opponents
the semblance of an excuse for believing
that he dreaded their severest iuvestiga-
ton. A Radical Committee after full
examination have exonorated him. His
constituents can only blame him for a
too keen sense of honor-a fault, if fault
it be, which leans TO virtues side.

The British and other dependent mar
kets not only hold more than usually libe-
raj stocks at present, but the surplus sup
plies in the leading exporting countries
are probably above the average. Although
the English harvest was last year def
cient, the farmers, it is said, hold unusul-
ly large stocks for the season, owing to
the relative cheapness of foreign wheat,
of which the consumption has been com
paratively large.
As to the future of the market, opin-
ions are quite diverse. The New York
Shipping and Commercial List says it
is generally held that the prospects are at
least no worse than they have been for
some time past, as stocks of foreign wheat
in the British markets are diminishing,
and future imports will be on amore mod
crate scale. Still, it is not believed that
any very decided reaction is probable du-
ring the last half of the harvest year, as
there are considerable supplies yet to go
forward from our own country, Russia,
Canada, Chill, and other sources.
Much, however, will depend upon weather
influences between new and next harvest,
which always operate strongly for or
against the market, and with these chances
the dealers viii of necessity have to con-
duct their spring and summer trade. The
receipts at our primary markets have been
moderate during the winter months, but
the stocks are above the average, and
there is reason to believe that the farmers
hold larger per centage of their crops
/ than usual, owing to the extreme low
range of prices since last harvest. Thai
prime wheat may rule firmer, owing to the
large per centage of inferior qualities III
the hands of English and American far
mers, is quite probable; but there is nc
other present element calculated to mate
rally improve the tone of the market
The late material increase in the purchas
ing. power of the currency, it is to be re
membered, has, to a considerable extent
offset the reduction of prices. Thus while
No. spring wheat has fallen about thirty
five cents since last harvest, the currency
dollar has increased in value twenty-five
cents during the same period.

THE TINE FOR RECONSTRUC,

RebeLs IN that State are safely stnder

''Such policy of exclusion would be a
guaranty of good behavior in the remain
ing reconstructed States, and would furn
ish an objective point for series of con
tinuous triumphs in every existing Repub-
lican State for an indefinite period TO
come. Here are two objects worthy of
contemplation in the present threatening
aspect of affairs on both the points TO
which they refer"
Here, says the New York cypress, is
a short way to settle things. 'When all
the Confederate Rebels are ac1der ground
it will be safe to admit the State! As
about all the white men in Georgia were
Confederate Rebels" a new race then
must grow up before the State can be
safely admitted. And in that case, how
the sons and daughters of these ''Confede-

of cmigrants to Georgia would be blessed

I'D squadrons of pikemen in the civil
war for the Union; but not a pike,
sword, or gun was borne by this valiant
man-of-war with his pen. He wants to
hear the doleful cry from the Toombs of
Georgia, and all other Confederate
Rebels" to be entombed deep in the
ground, before he would readmit Georgia.
The mercies of God, and Christ's Sermon
upon the Mount, must be gall and worm
wood to such bloodthirsty Radicals.
This genus of the Pike has come very
near extinguishing the Radical party in
the South. Two or three more years of
rule under the Pike plan and there would
not be native negro in all the South
that would touch Radicalism with a fish
ing pole. The colored people would cry
out to such a party: "Thy offence is
rank: it smells to Heaven"

All efforts to arrest the downward in
clination Of the bread stuffs market for
the past few months have proved fruitless,
for the reason that the worlds supply has
oYertaken the consumption. The extreme
prices of wheat in 1867 and 1868 had the
effect TO wonderfully stimulate preduc-
ton, particularly in Russia and the United
States, and the United Kingdom is now
reaping the benefit of the low prices
which have resulted from this increase.
In the following statistics of the imports
and exports of the United Kingdom, from
Sept. 1, to Feb. -, compared with the
previous season, lies the solution of the
long continued depression at Liverpool,

NEW ENGLAND MANNERS.

Vermont is usually supposed to be ad-
dicted to great moral ideas, yet her people
at times have a singular mode of mani
Testing the faith that is in them. The
Woman's Fighters the other day took it
into their heads TO hold meeting at Bur
lington. They had no sooner assembled
than, the local paper asserts, they were
strcated by the rabble in a way that was
the reverse Of genCemanly." The paper
adds:
'sMrs. Stone and her husband were de-
nOuuced as never having been married ;
Mrs. Churchill was smirched with like
abuse. and the whole women suffrage
Marty denounced as frce-lOyers and in
fidels; at the same time some low fellows
of the baser sort undertook to disturb the
proceedings by noise and interruption.
''Mrs. Campbell reports that in
the country town of North FairfaiX,
where she was holding a meeting, the op'
position burnt cayenne pepper on the
stove. and resorted TO other offensive
measures TO disperse the audience.
The New York Express says the Radl-
cal politicians of the Green Mountain
State used to have a good deal TO say, il
the olden time, about the plantation
manners of the then slave-heiding South
and even now that they are fond of play
ing upon the scnsibilities of their rusti,
constituencies, by dilating upon tn,
"rufianism of Democratic New York;
and pointedly adds, ii would be difficult t
recall anything in that line to beat tn
ruflianism that thus assails inoffensivr
women-crotchctty women, it may be
but still inoffensive. If things go on a
this rate up in Vermont, we shall not b
surprised to hear of mass meeting called
somewhere there, TO endorse ''gallan

poWTuE CREDIT OE THE STATE
ENfUKED.
me washIngton eoresponaent q the

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes, March q
sFThe action of the Nashville Board OF
Trade and the meeting of Tennessee mer-
chants, protesting against Congressional
interference with affairs in that State, and
declaring that there is a peaceable condl-
ton of things, have had the effect to
dampen the ardor of the reconstruction
lists, though they will not prevent the
preparation of bill looking to new
election in Tennessee. Whether it can be
forced through the House or not remains
to be determined. Holders of Tennessee
bonds in New York are feeling such an
interest in this proposed reconstruction,
that they are writing here, strongly ad-
yising against il, and maintainingif inaugu-
rated, that il viii injure the credit of the
State"
The holders of Tennessee bonds may
well protest against Congress placing the
State again under the control of the Rad
icals. The men who are now using every
effort to get Tennessee dragged out OF the
Union, so that it viii have to go through
the process of reconstruction, are the same
who controlled the State from April, 1860,
to October of last year, audit iswell known
that. notwithstanding they levied and col
lected higher taxes than the people had
ever paid in the most prosperous times,
by foar-fold, when the government was
turned over to the present authorities the
treasury was empty, and the July interest
on the State debt had not been paid.
There was no money to pay the ordi-
nary expenses of the State and none
to be collected. No provision could
therefore be made to meet the January
interest. The failure to pay the interest
on the State debt for a whole year is the
result of Radical rule in Tennessee. 1t is
sensible in the holders of our bonds
to protest against Congress turning the
State over to the Radicals again. Our
bonds have already suffered a very mate
rial decline under the efforts to destroy
our State government, and if the revolu-
tionary scheme should be carried out, a
fatal blow viii have been dealt the credit
of the State. Tennessee is just now be
t ginning to recover from the effects OF
Radical misrule, and if left undisturbed
will soon be able to bring her credit up &c
T the highest standard.

The Radical crusade against our STATE
government is having depressing effeci
here. Work on buildings is being stopped,
orders for goods and machinery are being
countermanded, and real estate cannot be
sold for half as much as it would have
commanded a month ago. A gentleman
remarked to us yesterday that he had sub.
scribed $4,000 in the cotton factory pro
posed to be erected here, and that he had
the money to pay his subscription, bu
that he should not do so now unless thi!
reconstruction movement shall fail.

A REMoNsTRANoE against the proposed
reconstruction of Tennessee was circula-
ted among eX-Federal soldiers and citi-
zens of Northern birth in Memphis on
Saturday, and will be forwarded to Presi'
dent Grant. 1t is numerously signed, and
sets forth that Tennessee was never in 6
more peaceful or prosperous condition
than at the present, and that there is nc
cause whatever for military interference
in State affairs.
