The Kent Issue of the Day—
The repeal of Revolutiona
ry Reconstruction Laws of
Congress.
In tho present confusion of tongues
aiming tho builders of Babel ot Washing*
ton the real issue which is operating to
turn tho tido of public opinion against
tho radicals nuu their revolutionary
schemes is obscured. It is not tho res
toration of tbo Bourbons nor Mr. Johtv
son’s policy which was the underlying
cause of the repnblienh lossos in tho Into
California nnd Maine elections, but it is
tho departure of the republican burly in
Congress from its plan of Southern re
construction submitted nnd overwhel
mingly ratified by tbo Northern Stotes
in iboir last year’s delations.
The plan thus ratified by tho Northern
States last year was tbo plan embodied
in tho great constitutional amendment
parte I by n t wo Thirds Vote of ouch
house of tho Thirty-ninth Congress, and
upon this platform the present, or For
tieth Congress, was elected. Tho dis
tinguishing featuro or this amendment
was the section relating to suffrage nnd
representation, and w hich provides t»»
let each and every State decide for itsBlf
how for, if at all, tho rights of suffrngo
tilinll be given to its black population,
and upon wlmt conditions it shall be ex-
tomlnl or restricted ; but which nlso
pi ovules that in proportion to tho exclu
sion of nny class onrnco from tho suf
frage, their enumeration for representa
tion in Congress ahull bo cut off. In n
word, this popular amendment simply
provides to leave with tho several States
tint settlement of tho suffrage question,
with tiio condition that suffrage and re
presentation shall go together. This
proposition, fair nnn icnsonnbie to all
concerned, North and South, gave tho
republicans, more than anything else,
their tremendous majorities in tho north
ern State elections last full. Tho amend
ment, embodying this nnd other just nud
whole-nine propositions, has since been
ratified by all tho Northern Btato Legis
latures with an oxcoption or two where
no action lias yet boon taken upon tho
subject. At all events, if three-fourths
of Ihe States actually represented in tho
general government are competent to
givo n legal ratification, litis amendment
la to-day, wo believe, virtually a pnrt of
tho federal Constitution—-the supreme
law or tho land.
But tho republican radical leaders in
the present Congress, instead of adher
ing to nnd carry ng out this sound nnd
satisfactory recostruction platform of tho
last t’ongi ess, have cast it aside nnd
proceeded to n series of revolutionary
measures which, if pushed to the extent
designed, will chnngo our wholo system
of government nnd plnce it under tho
triplchcndcd monster of a negro oligar
chy in tho South, a moneyed oligarchy
in the North, nnd n genera) superintend
ing military despotism. Thrso monstrous
innovations tiro ull provided in tho recon
struction nets, tho Tenure of Office law,
nnd nil the concurrent revolutionary
measures of tho presnt Congress. They
proftosc to givo the j»oor, Ignorant and
credulous negroes, just released from
tho darkness of Hon thorn slavery, the
political control of all tho Southern Stalos
from Virginia to Texas inclusive. Next,
under tho finacial system of Mr. Chase,
it is quite as manifestly tbo purpose of
tho rudienl loaders to fasten upon the
North a n onoyod oligarchy, compared
with which Nick Bitldlo, with his old
Fnitcd States Batik, wns a mere baga
telle.
Thrso revolutionary measures nnd
Relumes arc aggravated in their disor
ganizing tendencies by that stupid re
volutionary Tenure of Office law, accor
ding to which it is difficult (o deter
mine to-day whethei tlm Executive De
partment is abolished or continued, or,
if still existing, w ho is legally muster of
tho position nnd what aro his powers.
It is against ull these revolutionary and
disorganizing}* of Congress, and against

How Natuiik ParsFavKs a RecotiU —
A very curious incident occurred in tho
surveys of tho Iron Mountain road in
tho cypress swamps of Btiutuost Mis
souri. Tho engineers, having orders to
locate their surveys in connection with
the United States lund surveys, had oc
casion to scflrch for (ho mark:; or rocordfl
made years ago in tho swamps. The
land survovois had marked tho rosnltH
of their work by cutting Info tho body
of a free leveling off a smooth surface of
the trunk, and engraving their record
on tho tablets thus prepared. Tho on-
gineors found tho scorn of former cut

Corn husks contain loMft straight,

Agnin, in tho course of extracting tho
corn fibre, long fibres nro found nt tho
bottom of the boiler in a spongy condi
tion, filled with a glutinous substance,
which on closer examination, proves to

mixed with wheat flour. It possesses
the peculiarity, that it keeps perfectly

make n very good mater ini for ship

substnneo, there tiro 15 imiuikIs in u hun

suitable for spinning, a hundred pounds
of husks furmslms 25 pounds, while, at
tho same time, 20 pounds of pnpor m af

hunks.
These interesting manufacture* nro
chiefly conducted tinder tho patronage
of tho Austrian government, nnd it it
stntod that tho knapsacks for tho Jmpo
rial army, wagon tops, floor cloths, tiro
buckets, und paper of all varieties, from
tho coarsest wrapping to tho fittest bank
noto paper used by tho government, nro
manufactured at tho Imperial mills.—
Besides these, llicro nro two privato
mills in operation near Vienna, conduc
ted on tin extensive settle.
The importance of saving tho husks
will ho fully appreciated, when it is re
membered that ihoy arc simply inciden
tal to tho production ol'n most important
cereal, everywhere cultivated, nnd that
they cost nothing, beyond tho care at-!
tending their collection nnd presorvn- 1
lion.
Tho chief reason of tho innltcution I
hitherto bestowed by capitalist* on this
nrtielo is traceable mainly to tho difficul
ty of procuring a sufficient supply of,
husk*. Wo arc satisfied thut the de
mand will ubundnntly wnrrnnt farmers |
in suvmg nnd storing ull tho husks thoy
can. They nro onsily haled nnd marke
ted, liko baled hay, und will bring ngood
prico for matrasses alone.
Our friends, who contemplate starting
tho husk manufacture in this country,
must not, however, wait for the fanners
to accumulate husks, but appoint res
ponsible agents who will contract for
the material ut tho farms. Farmers ure
beginning to appreciate their value an
fodder, and probably will not lie dispos
ed to sell them for loss than the price of

The Negro Vote ns u Balance
of Power.
The radical*, seeing the swelling tor
rent of publio sontuuent rising against
their negro supremacy policy, begin to
sing ftltt.ill. (Dio of tmiii- organs in tlito
city liiul n lnbnh?d article yesterday, np-
pOnling imthcticully to the publio in be
half "f tlm “poor negro.” It asks, “shall
four lr.il ion of our conntrytticn bo hence
forth serfs and outcasts in tho land of
their birth withtheir descendants through
all generations ?” Itcalla this "the hiain
question—the gftnl question remaining
to bo solved by the judgment and votes
of the American people.” Now this is
the merest buldeidosn nnd claptrap non-
sodho. The writer knows very well, if
lie has any sense, Hint the lour millions
of his colored countrymen mo neither
serfs nor outcasts, amt UuVer can be
again. They mil Dll ptMtoc.t equality
with the a bites ns regards their evil
t ights nud before the.law. If a portion
of (Item should be excluded from certain
political privileges tor a timo nml for
gl'ent public reasons, that would be
nothing more than wlmt happens to
many whito pcoplo in this republic nnd
lund of equal rights. All this tulk about
tiio negroes being surfs nud outcasts is
supremo nonsense, and is made for the
purjmBC of blinding tho American bo# 1
plu to the real object of tho radicals.—
No, there is no fear of tiio negroes not
huving their rights ; and flint is not
tiio ren! question. Tho object of the
radicals is to miiko tiio negro vole tho
buloneo of power in our political system
and govornmot. A small patty some
times holds tiio balance, tut we often see,
iu both .States and general election.—
'I’lte four millions of blacks in tlm South
mny become tho ruling power of llicro-
publio Through holding Hint balance. Wo
seo already how demoralized nnd ox-
tramo the republican party has become
iu itH efforts to get tno ncgio vote.—
Wlmt will out thut party or any other
do to gain power through the negro vote
if that vote can givo it? In fact wo are
now in dnngor of having this groat ro-
public governed by tho negroes nnd
ill tlm interests of negroes. ’J his is "the
