The Great Preblrm.
The large body of non-partis&ns, who
regard peace and prosperity as of more
consequence than the triumph of any po
litical party, demaud that reconstruction
be speedily completed, so that the business
of tile country, North and South, may
resume its wonted channels, and heavy
losses and sovere privations be do longer
inflicted on capital aud labor, lhey know
that the work of reconstruction is excep
tional aud extraordinary in its nature ; and
that, as the partial breaking up of the
Union by means of the rebellion was with
out precedent, so must be the mode of its
restoration.
The influential class—our business men,
whose opinions we have ventured to ex
press—appreciate the essential fact that
inasmuch as it required the exercise of
extraordinary and unprecedented military
authority to put pown the rebellion, so, to
rebuild the States which it overthrew, re
quires the exercise of like authority. They
regret this. But during the war they sub
mitted to it as a stern necessity ; so now
they endure the lesser evil to secure the
greater good.
Nor will a resolute people be deterred
from going right onward by the counter cry
of “Negro supremacy” ; but will scout the
suggestion that five millions of white voters
are about to succumb to eight hundred
thousand black voters- Rather will they
feel assured that, if demagogues of all
parties will stand aside, a few short months
will see civic chaos in the South give place
to order, while our citizens of this section of
the Union resume the exclusive control of
their own affairs, and peace and prosperity
once more prevail throughout the land.
“The Empire Slsite of the South.”
Men will not invest capital to any con
siderable extent where there is no well
established form of State government.
Until Georgia is admitted into the Union,
with all the rights aud privileges of other
States, our people can not prosper.
When our commonwealth is thoroughly
restored to her former relations to the
UnioD, capital will flow into our State in
abundance. Capitalists are only waiting.
Uncultivated lands, too, will be purchased
by immigrants. The hum of industry—
the sound of the hammer, the anvil, the
spindle aud the loom—will be heard in
places where solitude now reigns almost
supreme.
The salubrity of our Heaven-favored
climate will induce immigration, and the
fertility and cheapness of our lands wilj
cause thousands to settle in our State.
In fine, the prosperity of Georgia, “ the
land we love,” depends, first, upon a
permanent and equitable form of govern
ment.
We believe there is a better time com
ing. The sun is always shining, the flow
ers are always blooming, and the golden
grain is always waving somewhere in the
world; and we look forward to the day
when the gloom that overshadows our
State shall be dispelled, and sunshine,
happiness and prosperity again light up
the land—for we firmly believe that it will
surely come.
Doubtful Economy,
We see it stated that on the New York
Central Railway, a “reform” introduced is
that of stripping the locomotive engines of
all their ornamental brass work, and painting
that which is left a dull brown. The object
of this measure is evidently the saving of
time which the engineers spend in polishing
up these parts of their engines, and the ex
pense of the materials used for the purpose :
but we very much doubt whether there is
any real economy in it. Every locomotive
driver has (or ought to have) a pride in
keeping his locomotive in the best possible
working order; aud, while external orna
ment does not directly assist him in doing
this, it does stimulate him to a care and
thoroughness of attention, which no dull,
dirty mass of machinery can possibly awaken.
Besides, human nature has requirements
beyond those of mere wages. A man who
has had charge of an engine long enough to
get acquainted with it, feels toward it as an
equestrian does toward a favorite horse. As
the one likes to see his quadruped’s coat
bright aud glossy, so does the other like to
see his machine present a beautiful appear
ance, and often does not disdain to wreathe
it at Christmas with evergreens, and in sum.
mer with flowers. This sort ot sentiment is
worthy of being regarded.
Grand Lodge I. O. O F.
The twenty-sixth of April next is the
anniversary of this charitable Order, as
established in the United States, and ail
Grand Lodges and Encampments are re
quested to urge their subordinates to ob
serve the day in some appropriate mode.
AVe observe the following statistics in
reference to the Order, and the good it has
accomplished, which will be very interesting
to the brethren in this section.
There are 43 jurisdictions, 2,815 working
Lodges, and 212,206 members in the United
States. During the past year there were
34,772 initiations, 20,144 brothers relieved,
3,232 widowed families relieved, $409,-
076.25 paid for the relief of brothers,
$97,342.33 paid for relief of widowed fami
lies, $102,108.87 paid for burying the dead.
The total amount paid for relief during the
year was $027,902,05. Vermont, Texas,
and Mississippi, are not included in the
statement, no reports having been received
from these jurisdictions. The total revenue
from the Lodges during tho past year
amounted to $1,757,936. AVhat a benifi
cent fund for the propagation of good to
the needy and distressed ! Few, very few,
outside of this noble Order, are aware of
the groat relief that is extended to the
worthy and unfortunate. During the past
year, 20,144 brothers have been relieved.
Joy and comfort have been brought home
to the widowed families of 3,232 deceased
members.

Tax on tbo National Banka.
There ia a aettled determination to tax
national banka. Congress will authorize
the States to tax them; and of course the
States will exercise the privilege accorded
to them. It is probable that Congress will
not stop hero, but will take Borne step with
the view of retiring the bank currency
and substituting for it that of the Federal
Government. If this is done without
curtailing the amount of currency afloat,
no harm will bo dono to the country save
what of disturbance may occur in the
process of calling in tho old and issuing
the new ; and this would probably be an
easy matter.
The national hanks have been of service
to the nation, and it is to be hoped that
they will not bo subjected to any unfavor
able legislation which may diminish their
efficiency. Rumors in various parts of the
country represents that some of them are
shaving deeply. Such a practice does not
become a corporation ; and it is one that,
in the long run, brings losses that in turn
shave down profits to a fair averago, and
sometimes to a ruinous degree. But, tlion,
when money is exceedingly scarce it will
command its price, come what may; and
people may consolo themselves with the
reflection that but for the hanks they would
have to pay a great deal more.
Another War Suit.— Ben. Johnson has
sued M. J. Wicks and others, of Memphis,
for $16,000 in gold, taken from him in 1861
by the defendants, while acting as a Con
federate Vigilance Committee, and the case
is now pending in the Law Court of Mem
phis. The defence set up that the act was
that of the Confederate authorities. This
plea will avail the defendants nothing under
that strangely construed decision of the
Supreme Court, in which a very nice dis
tinction was drawn between the acts of the
military and civil branches of the govern
ment during the war, setting forth that
while the military authorities had recog
nized the Confederates as belligerents for
purposes of exchange of prisoners and
other acts for the amelioration ot that class
in the hands of the Confederates, the civil
authorities never did by any act so recog
nize the Confederates.— Nashville Union.
Shooting Affair. —We regret to have to
state that an affray occurred in the dining
room of the American Hotel, last evening,
in which C. C. Richardson, member of the
Convention, was shot by Capt. Timony,
formerly of the United States service. The
Captain was at the supper table, when Rich
ardson and a friend entered, and an interview
was had and some rough words passed be
tween them, followed by the shooting. The
ball entered the body near the right nipple,
and passed just beneath the left shoulder
blade. The wound, we are informed, is not
necessarily tala!. Immediately after the
shooting, Captain Timony requested some
gentlemen who were at the table to go with
him to an officer, that he might surrender
himself. lie is now in custody, and we pre
sume his case will undergo investigation to
day. Os the cause of the difficulty we have
nothing to say at present. — Atlanta Era.

Cincinnati, Jan. 31, 1867.
Editor National Republican :
The provision market during the week past
has gradually improved without any particular
good cause and the improvement marked may
be detrimental to the future interest of the trade.
There seems an anxiety to get out without loss,
and sellers are taking all the advantage of the
present excitement to get out, with tho hopes of
going in again at lower figures.
IIOGS are about done coming for packers’
use, and the butchers take abont all that are
now arriving. The receipts for the week are
3,562, and for the season, 361,486. In a weok
or two will be able to give our total packing.
MESS PORK has gradually improvod all tho
week, and to-day sells at $22 for best city, and
s2l to 21.10 for choice country ; but there is a
slight difloronce between the viows ot buyers
and sellers—the former toinking tho advance
spasmodic and without any good cause, and at
the close are offish. Rumps are held at $15.50
to sl7, without much demand, and tho offerings
are large at these figures.
LARD has been in good demand all the weok,
with fair sales at advanced prices over my last.
The advance in gold and sterling exchange has
dono much to advance this article. It closes
firm at 1310 for Choice City, and 13 to 151 c for
Choice Country. Prime Steam sold at 130, and
is now generally hold at Jc higher. Head and
Gut 12J to A23c.
BULK MEATS have been in better demand,
and all offered wore taken at improved prices,
and at tho close, 81 and 10}o loose were uskod
for Shoulders and Rough Sides, with correspond
ing pricor for Clear Rib and Cloar. Hams Ii to
111 c, as in quality and woight.
BACON has also further adyapeed to 91 Ul>

the Conventions.
GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Feb. 4.—Geu. Meade sent a
communication to the Convention this raorn
iug, saying be would give it thirty thousand
dollars by the 10th of March, but that no
further advances would be made, nor would
he approve or undertake any financial
scheme for pay, involving the credit of the
State, or anticipating future revenue.
The Convention adopted a resolution to
take a vote on relief to-morrow, and ad
journed.
Another delegate was badly beaten in a
pot house row.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, February 4. —ln Convention
to-day the section requiring the Governor
to be a resident of the United States
twenty years and of Virginia two years,
adopted yesterday, was reconsidered and
recommitted.
The salary of the Governor was fixed at
four thousand dollars.
There was another scene in Convention
to-day : Two members, having quarreled
in debate, started out of the Hall for a
fight, but the sergeant-at-arms put a stop
to it by closing the doors.
FLORIDA.
Tallahassee, January 4.—No quorum
in Convention to-day—notwithstanding
they proceeded, and went into secret ses
sion.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, February 4.—Several
articles in the Constitution was adopted
to-day, regulating tho school question.
All-children is to be admitted to the public

Congressional.
Washington, February 4.— House: Mr.
Pile asked leave to introduce a resolution
authorizing the Secretary of AVar to com
mence a bridge over the Mississippi river
at Rock Island.
Mr. Spaulding objected.
The Committee on Freedmen’s Affairs
have been directed to inquire into outrages
in Maury and Giles counties, Tenn., and
report measures of relief.
Mr. Logan asked, but failed to obtain
leave, to introduce a resolution that after
June Ist, 1868, United States bonds be
-taxed two per cent, semi-annually, deduct
able when coupons are presented.
Tho rights of American citizens abroad
was resumed, and several substitutes for
the Committee’s bill were offered and the
matter postponed.
The bill for the forfeiture of Southern
Railroad lands was resumed.
Mr. Eldridge characterized it as cowardly
and uncharitable, springing from a spirit
of ill will levelled against the Southern
people for acts heretofore committed. The
bill was conceived in a spirit of dissolution
instead of restoration. The Czar of Russia
could not do more than this bill contem
plates. Such a measure could never result
in amity and fraternity to the country.
Mr. Lawrence, in favoring the forfeiture
introduced a tabic to show the insufficiency
of lands in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, and Florida, to supply home
steads ; nearly five million acres are needed
for homesteads.
Mr. Julian, who reported the bill, refused
amendments exempting certain Roads from
the operations of the bill, but without final
action the House adjourned.

quire into the destitution of Mississippi re

disclosures or testifying as witnesses, passed.

A disturbance commenced outside, with
some disorderly negroes resisting the police,
who attempted to arrested them. Negroes
drew pistols on the police and the row
became general. A reiuforcement of police
drove off the rioters and captured the ring
leaders. Lieut. Bell, of the police, was shot
in the head and leg, and Lieut. Howard was
knocked off his horse with a brick. Several
policemen and four or five negroes were
slightly wounded. None killed. Rioters
are now dispersed, but much excitement
among them.
The military commission is still in se3'
sion on the Mayor’s case—still examining
witnesses.
The crew of the ship Admiral, which

pleted.
Expense of Treasury Department detec
tives, between June, 1866, and November,

names of the detectives, as it would, besides
exposing them to violence, destroy their use*
fulness.
It is semi-officially announced that the tax
upon the leading articles of industry—such
as clothing, boots, shoes, leather, hats, soaps,
spices, tin ware—will be removed.
Documents covering three columns of cor
respondence between the President, Grant,
and others, will be published in the morning.
It is too long to telegraph, and as the matter
involves the honor and veracity of high
officials, a synopsis is unsafe.
From Mobile.
Mobile, Feb. 4.—C01. Hudson, Com
manding, having received information that
registrars refuse the right of the privilege
of challenging votes, has requested the
Chief of D olice to notify registrars and
