THE Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette writes, Jan. 81
'eThere is expressed by leading members
Of the Republican party and friends Of
the administration, much anxiety as 70 the
course the Southern people may adopt in
putting into working order their ma
chinery of government as on this de-
ponds, they say, their prospects for the
future. If an attempt be made TO organ
ise these State governments with an ex-
trems Radical programme, the party lead
ers here feel assured that the days of the
Republican party are numbered; hence
they are taking steps to indnce the Radi-
GALS Of Mississippi and Texas to pursue a
judicious course, and, if possible, 10 ab-
sorb the solid Conservative elements, and
thus build up moderate Republican party
In the South, which will commend itself
90 the Southern people"

WE HOPE SO,

The war prejudices of the masses OF
the Northern people are SO bitter against
the masses of the people of the South,
and so easily aroused, that our chief hope
of restoring them to a condition OF
equanimity is by means of division in
the party. We are satisfied that there are
thousands who have, in the blindness OF
of passion, been following their impracti-
cable and implacable leaders, who do not
concur with those leaders upon the sub
jects of bonds, finance, taxation and re-
construction. When those leaders
begin TO fall out among them
selves, then their followers will pause
and ponder. They will begin to ask
themselves whether these beings, whose
partisan behests they have SO blindly
obeyed, are really Gods, or whether they
are at last but poor mortals, possessing all
the infrmities Of human nature. Tho
tone of the Cincinnati Commercial gives
us hope of better future. 1t says upon
this subject:
Is it not Just possible that this wordy
renconier has broader significance than
mere trial of lances between the chief
leaders of the Republican side of the
Senate? Is there not something more than
mere personal feeling and antipathy at the
bottom off Does itnot indicate division
in the Republican ranks of which they are
the immediate representatives 1t is
manifest to an intelligent mind that Re
publicans are now divided on this question
of reconstruction. One faction believes
that no further conditions ought TO be
imposed upon the States seeking repre-
sentation in Con gress. That is the view
taken by the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate and by the more conservative
minds of the party tie country over.
They believe the guarantees are sufficient
for future peace and safety, and are of
the opinion that only evil can come of
new impositions. Nor are they convinced
that it is within the possibility of legisla-
ton to blot out old convictions and preju-
dices, and coerce men to be of one mind
with them.
Neither do they propose to be dra-
gooned into the support of the punitive
measures which Edmunds, and Drake,
and Sumner and extreme Radicals in the
House seek to force into the legislation for
the outstanding States. If this is at
tempted, the breach which has opened be-
tween Sumner and Trumbull will widen
till the party will stand divided from one
end of the country to the other. Unless
the States that conformed to the con-
ditions named by Congress months ago
are admitted without imposing upon them
new conditions, the rupture will take
place Such, at least, seems to us the
tendency of current events, and nothing
but speedy settlement of the question of
the admission of the States can prevent it.

Valuable Water Power & Real Estate
FOR SALE.

THE UNDERSIGNED WILL SELL THE VALUA
Il BILE Water Power and eight hundred acres Of
land connected and lying round it, known az Also

Railroad, near Estills Springs. Az Water Power,
this has some advantages over any other in the
State. 1t Is Immediately on the line of the Railroad

For manufacturing, the cotton can be bought In

ing a circuit Of ~ miles, and coming back 80 that
the entire stream can be turned by q cut, which
is made through . solid rock. The site can never
be the least affected by high water.
This Water Power is the most celebrated, and
best known q valuable power Of any in the State.
The land all lies well and the most Of Il Is bottom

IT is stated that the Rothschilds, after
waiting some years during the war and
standing aloof from United States secu-
rites, finally took hold of American
bonds, and to-day they are the reputed
owners of about s75, 900, 900. 1t is
stated that the Rothschilds, in view of the
unsettled state Of affairs in Europe during
the past few years, have turned much OF
their capital into cash, and now hold about
5000, 600, 900 in gold and silver. This
places them in strong position to take
new loans, and it would seem that they
have been preparing for the American
government. Such at least are the rumors
current in New York.

COST or LEGISLATION IN ILL.,
NOIS.

The report of the Committee on Re-
trenchment and Reform, made to The Hi
nois Convention on Thursday, appears to
have been the cause of no small sensa-
ton in that body. The report was &C
cOmpanied by an exhibit in detail, from
the State Auditors books, of the cost of
legislation in Illinois since the COnstitu-
tional Convention of 1862; also, the cost
of that Convention. There have been,
since 1862, only four General Assemblies,
the 23d, oath, 25th, and Goth. The
total cost of the Convention of 1862, was
$50, So. SO; of the Esd General Assem-
bly,, $g5, 953; of the oath General AS
sembly, $I87, 2O29 80; of the 25th Gen
eral Assembly, 1916, 179. 80; and of the
26th General Assembly, S273, 300. &C;
making total cost to the taxpayers of
1889, 5O8. 80. OF this amount, 1892,
G35. 81 was the total cost of four Legisla-
lures, an average of $2O8, 1881 per
Legislature, or nearly four times the cost
of the Constitutional Convention Of 1862.

Satrap Terry 10 50 manipulate matters as
to give the control of the Georgia Legisla-
ture to Bullock and his friends. The
Atlanta Constitution of the 22d inst.
states that 'the inquiries OF the Military
Board have exploded the charge of ineli-
gibility, under the very construction of
the Attorney General, against nine-tenths
of the members whose status it has
investigated and that ''not case
could be convicted of perjury be-
fore any impartial legal tribunal in the
world Notwithstanding this is the re-
suit of the investigation, Terry's drum
head court-martial viii declare enough
Democratic members ineligible TO give the
Bullock clique control of the Legislature.
That was what the Georgia bill was
passed for, but finding it would not work
before legal tribunal, Teuy's drum-head
court-martial was organized to declare a
sufficient number ineligible, and it viii be
done. The Atlanta Constitution says:
sFGen. Sherman says the sole warrant of
Gen. Terry for his action is the amenda-
tory act of reconstruction. This act,
known as the Georgia bill, gives no au-
thority for this board-in fact, it makes
the conscience of the member the sole test
of his eligibility, with the penalties of
perjury if he swears falsely. The law
don't contemplate that Gen. Terry, or
anybody else but the members themselves,
shall be the judge of the eligibility of
members. There is but one tribunal that
can correct any mistake the member may
make, and that is the Federal Court. 1t
seems that the commission is mere mill
tary court of inquiry to report facts
to Gen. Terry, who is then to pronounce
the members ineligible who have sworn
they were eligible, and to prevent whom
from taking their seats is felony under
the law. What is the result of Gen.
Tery's position Why, that Gen. Terry
can make the Legislature just what he
pleases that he can put out whom he
pleases, and let remain whom he pleases :;
that the ballot box is mere moekery,
and elections an empty farce; and that
one soldier is the despotic master of our
destinies.n
By his bold usurpation, Gen. Terry has
made himself master of the situation, and
Grant will sustain him in whatever he may
do to give the Radicals the control of
Georgia.

TIE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: ''rhe ex-
Eeme Republican members in the House
are already chuckling over the prospect of
the ratification Of the fifteenth amend
ment and bills are talked of to enforce
its provisions in Maryland, Kentucky, and
New York, by virtue of the power con-
fsrred on Congress by the second section.
Especially is this the case as regards
New York, the intention being to annoy
the Democratic Legislature for repeating
the ratification of the amendment. In
that State negro suffrage is now restricted

of the honorable Representative from the
Mountain District, delivered Saturday, on
the situation in Tennessee. We shall
await with anxiety this document, doubt

which it will throw over the subject of
which he treats, viii, we presume, be
perfectly satisfactory to those Congress
