'On the most important vote
the Ku-Klux bill-Blair, of Mis-
souri,; Hamilton, OF Pennsylvania;
Hamilton, of Maryland Price of
Georgia ; Read, of Kentucky, and
TuIhill, of New York, democrats,
were absent. MIR. Read was paired
with Mr.. DArrall, of Louisiana,
not Sypher, as enormously stated.
Price and Tuthill were not paired
on the habeas corpus amendment,
and, if present, would have made
the vote tie. Blair's vote added
would have defeated the power
given the President to suspend the
writ of haJeas corpus and had all
the absentees been present, the
defeat of the bill was certainly
positive.

FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE
Thursday Morning, April II, 1871,
Settled Questions.

anticipating tndL the 1reSlQen.
tial campaign Of 1872 would be
fought out on Northern soil, and
suggesting that the South follow
the leadership and policy of the
Northern Democracy, the Atlanta
True Georgian, a short time since
remarked:
Let our prudent Northern breth-
rem perfect a sound, far-sighted
platform, and we can assure the
active cooperation of the thought
fui and moderate masses in the
South. We can safely say that
four-ffths of the Southern Democ-
racy will cordially endorse the
spirit of this article, and contrib
ute their aid to the consummation
of the principles and policy herein
enunciated.
In response to this sentiment,
which it quotes, the New York
World, preferring to leave South
ern public opinion to its own spon-
taneous Development, having full
confidence in the result, contents
itself with merely calling atten-
ton, which is, that:
First. The reconstruction acts
are no longer in force, having ex-
plred by their own Imitation
There is, therefore, no room either
to resist their enforcement or agi-
tate for their appeal.
Second. The State Constitution
formed under the pressure and CO.
ercion of the reconstruction acts,
are amendable by the people of
each State, like all other State
Constitutions. The freedom to
make a new constitution is fully
possessed by each Of the Southern
as it is by each of the Northern
States, but constitutional changes
in a State cannot properly become
a question of national politics, or
topic in the national platform of
the Democratic party.
Third. The new amendments to
the Federal Constitution have no
substance or importance except in
these two particulars ~ slavery
and ~ negro suffrage. II, as
matter of facts, all the States &C
quiesce in the abolition of slavery,
and no State contemplates the ex-
clusion of the negroes from the e.
lective franchise, it is of no prac-
teal consequence whether the new
constitutional amendments are
valid or not, tits clear that the en-
forcement of the Thirteenth a.
mendnent cannot be q party is
sue, nor, in any sense, a question
of practical politics. There is
nothing In the Fourteenth a.
mendmcnt worth fighting about if
the Fifteenth amendment is accep-
ted the DISTINGUISHING clause be-
ing repealable by a mere act of
Congress, which is favored by SO
many Republicans thatit will east,
ly pass as soon as the Democrats
nre in majority in the two Hou-
ses. If therefore none of the
States wish to take away snf-
frage from the negroes, there is no
practical reason for eontesting the
validity of any of the amend.

@s A striking illustration Of
the honesty and efficiency of the
administration, and the economy

the discovery of three hundred
and twenty-six defaulting officials,
who had stolen an aggregate of
over twenty millions from the
treasury. Of the three hundred
and twenty-six thieves, no one, as
far as known to the public, has
been arrested. Neither has any
effort been made to bring them to
justice or compel their sureties to
make good the amount thus stolen.

From all parts of the country
the most favorable reports of
the wheat crop reaches us. In
the North and West the SHOWS
OF last winter protected the
ground from the hard freezes,
which saved the wheat from be-

been no hard weather to affect
it since the disappearance of
the snow. The Huntsville (Mo.

owe never saw a finer pros
pect for a big wheat crop than
there will be the coming season.
The breadth sown in this coun-
try is hardly so great as last
year, but it will more than aver
age with the seasons since the
war;"

tons of St. Charles county new
or failed to produce fine wheat
crops, but this year the yield
will, evidently, be all over the
county"

EIFrom all parts of North
west Missouri we hear the most
encouraging reports in refer
ence to the growing wheat. 1t

winter, stands thick on the
ground, and with anything like
an ordinary fair spring will
yield an abundant crop"

of the Oldest and best farmers
Of that county that he has new
er seen such a prospect for an
abundant crop of wheat since
he has been a resident of the

A telegram from Chicago. ILL.,,
says:
Reliable reports say never
perhaps in the history Of the
country were the prospects Of
the wheat crop SO splendid at
this season throughout the

large yield. There is no excep-
