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. | Advertisement. J Legal Blank). At this office the following Blanks, neatly printed, may bo obtained, by the single sheet or by the quire : Garnishment Affi davit and Bond, Bail Bond, Attachment, Claim and Replevy Bond, Mortgage Bond, otc. ts 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. ——_-♦♦♦. AUGUSTA MARKETS. Tuesday, February 4, P. M.

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.

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.

The articles adopted provides for the election of a Superin tendent to serve four years. They also provide for an appropriation of public funds for their maintenance. 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. Senate : The special commission to in' quire into the destitution of Mississippi re ported. Bill protesting against persons making disclosures or testifying as witnesses, passed. The President was called on for all the instructions given to Pope and Meade for tho government of the Third District. The Reconstruction bill was resumed, after which the Supplemental Tenure-of-Office bill was discussed and recommitted. The Senate then adjourned. Row in Savannah, Etc. Savannah, Feb. 4. —A large negro meet ing was held at African Cburch to-day, to advocate C. H. Hopkins for the office of Mayor, in place of Mayor Anderson, now before the Military Commission. 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 cleared Saturday, refused to Jgo to sea in her on account of her leaky condition. The ship laid in Tybee Roads till Monday night, and dragged anchor and went ashore on the bench, and now lies high and dry at low water. Pilots report that the steamer C. W. Lord, bound for this port, lost part of her rudder and two flanges of her propeller in trying to make the port of Charleston. Alabama Constitution.

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 also notified registrars and judges of election that two clerks, appointed by the Democratic party, must be admitted within each polling place. Election passing off quietly. Trial.
