WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Chronicle |
in an editorial this morning headed rs |
Reconstruction Failure" says that re. |
cent events in the South cannot fail to
create the profoundest solicitude in the
mind of every patriotic and peace loving
citizen of the nation. In regard to the
efficiency of the reconstruction measures
Of Congress, some important element ne
cessary and proper to reconstruction
seems to have been omitted, and it's the
plain duty OF an intelligent Legislature
to recognize the situation with all its
difficulties, and supply the omission or
correct the error, whatever it may be.
The Supreme Court meets here on
Monday, the 18th, and several OF the
Justices have already arrived. The
docket is now two years behind time,
and will be necessarily great.
An interesting dialogue occurred at
the Postoffice Department yesterday,
between the Postmaster General and
Senator Spencer and Representative
Hayes, of Alabama. These two parties
called on the Postmaster General to
urge upon him the appointment Of an
additional special to go to Alabama to
investigate the killing of Mail Agent
livery. The Postmaster Genera! regarded
this as unnecessary. Messrs. Spencer
and Hayes we're not satisfied, and con-
tinued to press the matter upon him,
when he finally remarked, that if livery
had been attending to his official duties
instead Of distributing incendiary and
intiammatory speeches among the ne
groes, he would probably never have
been molested To this Mr.. Spencer
replied that il some gentlemen had not
gone around the country making
speeches they could be in the Cabinet.
The end of it was that the two had to
withdraw without being able to pursuade
the Postmaster General to make the ap-
pointment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-A private letter
from Warrington, near Pensacola,
Florida, navy yard, dated October LIST,

night. The whole OF the officers are

vember was here and we were spared.
This suspense is perfectly terrible. No
one seems to escape the fever except
those who have had it before, and every
body is frightfully lonesome, almost
everybody dead"
The demands made upon the army by
the disturbances in Louisiana and other
Southern States, together with Indian
difficulties which the military powers
will be called upon to suppress, has
demonstrated the weakness of our mill
tary establishment as reduced at the last
session of Congress, and vigorous at.
tempts will be made this Winter to re.
store it to an active force of 40, 900 men
While the War Department and leading
military men will be active to secure in.
crease, their efforts will be, according to
the present indications, warmly seconded
by leading Congressman and politicians
The army is now reduced to force Of
only 1900 or $4,000 men.
