RECONSTRUCTION.

The States of Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas have been restored to repre-
sentation IN our national councils
Georgia, the only State now without rem
resentation, may confidently be expected
to take her place also at the beginning
Of the new year, and then, let us hope,
win be completed the work of recon
struction. With an acquiescence on the
part Of the whole people in the national
obligation to pay the public debt created
as the price of our Union, the pensions
to our disabled soldiers and sailors, and
their widows and orphans, and in the
changes to the Constitution, which have
been made necessary by a great rebel
lion, there is no reason why we should
not advance in material prosperity and
happiness as no other nation did after so
protraeted and devastating war.

DEPARTMENT MATTERS.

The condition of the archives at the
Department of State calls for the early
action of Congress. The building now
rented by that Department is a frail
structure, at an inconvenient distance
from the Executive Mansion and from
the other Departments. 1t is i'll adapted
to the purpose for which it is used, has
not capacity to accommodate the ar
chives, and is not fire-proof. Its remote
situation, its slender construction, and
the absence of a supply of water in the
neighborhood, leave but little hope of
safety for either the building or its con-
tents in case of the accident of fire
Its destruction would involve the loss of
the rolls containing the original acts and
resolutions of Congress and the historic
records of the Revolution, and OF the
confederation, of the whole series ofdip-
lomatic and consular archives since the
adoption of the Constitution, and of
many other valuable papers left with
that Department when it was the prin-
cipal depository of the government ar
chives. / recommend an appropriation
for the construction of a building for the
Department of State. I recommend to
your reconsideration the propriety OF
transferring to the Department of the
Interior, to which they seem more appro-
priately to belong, all powers and other
duties in relation to the Territories with
which the Department of State is now
charged-by law or usage and from
the Interior Department to the War De
partment, the Pension Bureau, so far as
it regulates the payment Of soldiers
pensions. / would further recommend
that the payment Of naval pensions be
transferred to one of the Bureaus of the
Navy Department.

quiesced in the change. the Minister Of
the United States was directed bv teIe-

congratulations and those Of the people
Of the United States. The Te-establish-
ment in France Of a system of govern
ment disconnected with the dynastic
traditions OF Europe, appeared to be a
proper subject for the felicitations of
Americans. Should the present strug-
gle result IN attaching the hearts of the
French to our simpler forms of repre-
sentative government, It viii be a subject
Of still greater satisfaction to our people.
While we make no effort to impose our
institutions upon the inhabitants, and
while we adhere to our traditional neu
trality in civic contests elsewhere, we
cannot be Indifferent to the spread of
American political ideas in a great and
highly civilized country hike France. We
were asked by the new government to
use our good Offices Jointly with those Of
European powers IN the interest Of peace.
Answer was made that the established
politics and the true interests Of the
United States, forbade them to interfere
I in the European questions jointly with
European Powers. asceTtaIned IN
formally and unoficially that the Gov
eminent of North Germany was not then

from any Powers, and though earnestly
wishing to see the blessings of peace re
stored to belligeTents. with all of whom

/ eminent to take step which could only
result in injury to our true interest, with
out advancing the object for which our
/ Intervention was invoked. Should the
time come when the action of the United
States can hasten the return of peace by
single hour, that action viii be heartily
taken. | deemed it prudent, IN view OF
the number Of persons of German and
French birth living in the United States,
to issue, soon after the official notice of
a state Of war had been received from
/ both belligerents, a proclamation defin-
ing the duties of the United States as a
neutral power, and the obligations OF
persons residing within the territory to
observe their laws and the laws of ma
tions. The proclamation was followed
by others, as circumstances seemed to
call for them. The people, thus ac-
quainted in advance, of their duties and
obligations, have assisted in preventing
violations of the neutrality of the United
States.

The ratifications of the naturalization

ments has been settled IN accordance

The time is not probably far distant
when, in the natural course of events,
the European political connection with

should be shaped in view of this proba-

table of figures showing the revenue receipts
"for the past year" as found in Washing

sary to explain. These figures did not pur-
port to give the receipts for twelve separate
years, but the receipts for each month in the
past year from June. 1869, to and including
May 1870. We added these monthly re-
ceipts up to get the amount for the year

it's correspondent little short of a natural

says the figures show "a gradual increase
each month from and including June, 1869,
to and not including June, 1870 of $22, 27O,-

the whole twelve months to make the above

great Mercantile Library Gift Concert has
been postponed till Monday, Oct. 3lst, 1870,
at which time it will positively take place.
This is the first and only postponement which
will be made, and all persons not having
purchased tickets prior to that date will have
lost all chance in the 500, 900 or any Of the
great gold prizes, forever. All tickets not
sold at that date will be cancelled, and the
drawing proceeded with just the same as
though all had been sold. This will add to
the chances of ticket-holders, as neither the
amount or number of prizes will be reduced.

Wednesday last. The Republican party
felt its weakness to such degree as not to
enter the contest. An independent party
ran a ticket composed Of half Democrats and
half Republicans against the regular Demo

elected. The Republicans elected one Su-

Our School Funds will be less this year
than last for the following reasons:
k'irst-The amendments of the last Leg
islature to the School law were not approved
in time to take effect this year, so far as as
sessing and collecting revenue is concerned
Second-Collecting Of foreign miners tax
has ceased, and my salary is paid from the
School Fund
Notwithstanding our lawmakers reduced
the salary of Superintendent from eighteen
hundred to eight, the law directs its pay
ment from the School Fund
Third-There will be but little il any in
crease in taxable property. For these reas-
ons it is probable our funds will fall far be-
low last year.
Our Schools are in prosperous condition
at present, but some difficulty will be en-
countered in small districts to maintain
school eight months, as required; yet be-
lieve our people are equal to the emergency,
many having gone to work raising funds by
subscription, festivals, exhibitions SC. A
