The idea OF a reconstruction OF the I'm
ION, or, in other words, the Union as it
was, and the Constitution as it is" seems
TO rule predominant in the minds OF the
conservative portion of the Northern peo-
ole. There is not, in all the universe OF
impossible events yet to transplre, one SO
groundless and SO utterly vague and un-
reasonable as this. When the pail OF
forgetiulness can be thrown over the past
eighteen months, and the dead OF our
households restored, and the dark vacuum
filed where once the sunshine of better
days rested uI on our beloved country,
then hope may be resurrected from the
tomb Of despair, and the dead embers OF
sraterral sympathy famed into life again.
1t were sacrilege to indulge the thought
of freconstructing The Union after paNng
for freedom with the blood of our MUIR

countrymen. and by our undying love OF

that looks not to our entire freedom and

ACTIVITY IN BUsIyEss.-The uninterrupted

POLICEMEN AND REvoIvEGs.-On Tuesday
morning a man who had been arrested on q

man life is uncertain enough without being left
at the caprice of policemen. We therefore
maintain that the practice of the police carrying
revolvers ought to be discontinued The ten
dcncy Of arming such men with such weapons is
to make them despotic and merciless, and to
expose every incbriate who may fall into their
clutches, and act without due respect and cir
cumspection, to the punishment Of death. OF
course a story can always be made up to justify
the officer; but long experience has led Euro
pean communities to abolish the use Of fire.
arms by policemen, and to consider that ii is
not to the public welfare to trust them with the
power Of life or death over an individual. We
have outrages enough without making the men

the community if we license the police to COM

THE FiaH1ING QuAIIIJEs or THE AMERICAN

EnPrYNG THE STATE PRIsoNs.-From tho fact

War Department. This is Just as ii should be.

town or neighborhood in Ohio; tell them

Not long since. these Self same radicals

every man who counseled moderation and
forbearance, as a secessionist. Now, they
declare they would not consent to resto-
ration of the Union as it was year ago,
with slavery In it. They are doing all tn y
can to discourage and prevent such resto-
ration by saying tha, unless slavery is
abolished by the act of Congress or the
Federal Government. the rebellion can
never be put down. or as Greeley in his
Tribune words it--tha, we can never con-
