"The work of rebuilding has already COM
menced, and contractors have been surveying
the building sites of the burnt district. Sub
stantial buildings of brick, we suppose, will

erecting brick building with iron fronts, and
we suppose that the new Marshal House will
boast the same ornamental exterior"

We learn by telegram to the Galveston
Nears from Austin, Texas that the Grand Jury
of the Federal Court have found true bills Of
Indictment against the Radical Governor, Da-
Wis, and Secretary. of State, Newcomb, on ac-
count of the frauds perpetrated in the late elee-
tions. These indictments are, we believe based
upon the false certificate of election, which
gave Clark (Rad.) a seat in the present Con-
gress, when his opponent actually received
majority of several thousand votes.
The members of Congress of both parties
from the South are eager to curry favor with
their constituents, each endeavoring to forestall
the other by initiating measures for the refund
ing of the cotton tax levied just after the close
of the war. All the State Legislatures, the sev:
eral boards of trade and similar organizations
of the South, and the National Board of Trade,
recently held at Baltimore, have concurred ina
request to Congress for immediate action there
for, but as yet no definite measures have been
decided upon.
A convention of scientific agriculturalists
has been called to meet at Washington on the
18th of February, to confer on subjects of mu-
tual interest," and to take such action as may be
deemed expedient to promote agricultural edu-
cation. AT the same time, inquiry will no

granted by Congress to the several States as an
endowment for the support of agricultural coll
leges, occasioned by the fact that the time pre-
scribed by law within which colleges must be
established by the States which accepted the
grant, expires in July of the present year. II
is limited that the fair thing has not been OBJ
served in all cases and we fear that very slight
provisions have been made in some places to
obtain the endowment.
"A new claimant for the seat in Congress
from the Second South Carolina District has
Just appeared in the person of one Robert S.
Tharin of Charleston, who alleges that he is
entitled to the seat, as both DcLarge and Bow
en- are ineligible. He says that DeLarge is
guilty of all that Bowen charges and more, and
that Bowen is guilty of all that DeLarge char
ges and more. In his petition, Tharin says
that Bowen is guilty Of murder, felony, and
bigamy, and that he holds a seat in the Legis-
lature of South Carolina. He claims that De-
Large perpetrated the most outrageous frauds );
that he is not an American citizen, but an Eng
lish subject; that during the rebellion he ran
the blockade and obtained protection as a
British subject, and That heis ineligible on that
account. 1t appears that Tharin received
about 500 votes, while DeLarge and Bowen re-
ccived over 5000 each.
