There is toq little of intermeddling for the stability of the Congressional despotism, and - there is too much of it for popular liberty. Congress will need, cither to assume far more extraordinary and dangerous powers than it has yct exercised, or it will have to lay aside those it has already assumed. It will have to go forward or backward, Tt will have to

su‘bgtitute recopstruction for the constitution, or yield reconstruction, and renew its allegiance and submission to the constitution. *lt cannot, continge, says the 'St. Louis-Republican, thé present duality of the Union, which makes ccrtain States free autonomies, and certain other States. subject provinces. It must either reduce all the States to the condition of Georgia; with the right of Congress to supervise, review' and regulate their domestic concerns ;. or restore Georgia avgolutely to the ;c'ondi'.»ioni of the Northern States, with no right im Congress to interfere in its domestic ‘affairs, = R The herculean nature of the reconstruction bußiness was not fully estimated by its anthors. Had the policy been restora-’ tion, we should probably have had al most perfect reinstatement and harmony ~by this' time. But reconstruction has made the Union a schism, and planted a fatal inconsistency in our system of government. A reconstruction that needs itself to Ye reconstructed; and re-zeconstruc-tion at each succeeding session of Congress, must, in the natare of things, if _persisted ‘in, become the prolific parent of confusion and disaster ;. and if Congress once gets fully mto the habit, at"each ses- - siom, of looking-into the private iadministration of thirty-seven States to ascertain "'und punish actual or imagined cases of ~contempt of ite authority, orto ascertain and correct actual or imagined injustices, instend of leaving the matter to the Fed- " eral courts, it will soon learn to organize the. multiform business into a system which will first overshadow, and then supersede her present scheme of government, and give Us an unquestioned central despotist in its stead. 'That Congress feels _reconstruction to be a failure, and that it - /stands face to face with the terrible dilemma of expanding and elaborating it in"to a general and effective machinery of despotism, or abandoning it altogether, is evident' from the President’s recommen-

dation with respect to Georgia, the bills | of Senators Trumbull and Drake to trans- ~ fer to Congress the judicial functions of the Federal courts, and the “ No Forgiveness " platform recently enunciated by :that prophet ot the Radical® party, Wendell'Phillips, The piecemeal policy will not answer Tennessee, after having trod the red-hot plough-shares of reconstruction, has flang its agents and instruments from power, and called a State Convention of 'her real people to undo their hate- - ful work, Georgin had so nearly issued frond the furnace, prepared to give liberty -to her chiidren, that Congress has thought - it necespary to thrust her back again—convinced) all the time, that Georgia can not be kept there, except by new and stronger chains which will bind, not only ‘Georgia, but all her sister States. in commomnghdndage. In Mississippi the people have permitted Alcorn’ to be elected to ~ get rid of Ames. 'This is one step out of vassalage. They will next elect a better man to get rid of Alcorn ; and it will not, perhaps, be more than two years, at the farthest, before there will be a convention called in Mississippi to. restore the governméens ofthe State to its people: The pb/{{);)phg of reconstruction is that while it is admittedly unconstitutional, it may be made irrepealable, nevertheless ; that, once accomplished, it, can never be undone ; that the pyramid of southern society, bhaving been ‘once accurately palanced on its apex with the ex-slaves on top, and the ‘whites at the bottom, ‘the props may be safely withdrawn from, the ~ problem, apd the ex-claves confidently " intrnsted with the task of maintaining the artificial ‘and ”aiﬁicu’lt’ condition. But evetts are demonstrating that there is a fatal flaw in this theory. The history of | Tennessee and” Virginia proves not only that the work may be undone, but that it ia its very nature to undo itself. Thecase ot Georgia proves that the ex-slaves can not even be relied on. te maintain their own unnatural ascendency. They were losing; interest in elections; they were neglecting to vote ; of nearly sixteen hundred, colored voters registeredat Augusta in 1868, only fifty eight took the trouble ~ to cast their ballots atthe city election. in that city threc weeks ago. The support of the inverted / pyramid -exacts of t hef too constant a vigilance, persistence and_ fortitude for their simple and indolent natures, and, thefcfafe; when left to themselves, they allow it to fall = The fact, them; is revéaling itself to_ ~ Congress that & still’ furthér investment. of unconstitutional measures must be ‘made in the reconstruction énterprise to save what lias already been-invested, or the whole fabric be allowed to tumble;in ruing on the heads of itsauthors.

: For the Banner. ; WAYXNSIDE NOTES. - : BY MIBS MANDA LEVERING. “Why do you not write poetry?®” I hear a friend questioning at'my shoulder. O! because I cannot, and I never assert anything without giving a reason why, and the reason &t present for my prosaical inclination is because—well, because wny cousin thought my natural-curls were not fashionable enough, and so she done my hair “up in. time,” to make the curls “crispy ” she said, “ Oh, days of my childhood, how I longed foritheir réturn-when sbe wickedly, murderously twisted my bair’ around those dresdful things,“and now as my natural curls are pulled, drawed, doubled and twisted in their respective uses I ﬁn\% that the flow of poetical thought * can’t come down.”” So, in my prosaic way, let me make a few remarks. As the holidays are gone it may not be amiss to say something concerning the}ﬁ and their numerous characteristics that I trust have left a pleasant memory with us all. Doubtless a great many of my readers have celébrated the golden hours of Christmas appropriately and pleasantly, in various ways, and now, perhaps, you would not object to hearing how we enjoyed the glorious anuiversary. Well, we attended a ¢oncert held for the benefit of the [sabbath schaool, in Albion, on Christmas eve, and which- proved to ‘be s 0 interesting as to call forth a splicitation from the throng for a repetition-6n the next evening, which was happily granted. g : Therefore, in accordance with our love of the beautiful, we attended, and not deeming it out of order, we made some obgervations, which we give as follows. ‘One of the most sentimental tableaux of the evening was “Sweet Belle Muholm,” accompanied by a song of the same title, played and sung by Miss Fannie, Hunking, of Albion. The curtain was g"'d_,mwn disclosing Mr. C. Haney, who persfqnated a broken-hearted lover mourning by the tomb of her he loved so well, while the deep pathos and sweet, clear voice of the singer blended in harmony with the sol‘emnity o’ the stage. Another. piece, we could not help admiring — indeed we would not if we could — for it was well worthy the admiration, of all. Tt wss an instrumental piece entitled “The Storm,” executed by that fair performer and superb musieian, Miss Ellie Tousley, also a resident of Albion. | We conld, unaided by imagination, hear the distant roar of the gathering tempest and anon the burst. ing of the storm, accompanied by the quick, sharp peal, with its terrifying influences; then, as if its fury was spent, the storm would lull, and then, oh, how sweet the music of the raindrops’ falling from the eayes, which was imitated to perfection. In fact the entertainment reflected great credit on the youthifu! performers of the evening, and deserves a second repetition at some future day. As concerts seem to be the rage another was given in our town on New Year's evening, but not being there we ave not prepared to give our opinion concerning it, however we doubt nat that it was a success, 88 it takes our enterprising village to please the public by way of the stage. ' The snow-flakes come softly down from the lowering canopy and as it shuts the ‘bright day from view we are prompted to murmur—‘“gone.” And if any one were to ask “ what is gone?®"” "we might say Uhristmas and New Year, but could not recall each happy thought, sweet smile -and . tender regollection that thronged the pleasant, long-to-be-remembered holidays 80 sadly, quickly flown. For many of us, ‘doubtless, the new year has opened new. channels of usefulness for our eager ambitions and ready mind, while to some we are painfully aware the ‘clouds of ad‘versity, disappointment and'sad reverses have proved a barrier, a shadow, deep ‘and dark hovering over all the_prospects and resolves, made in some hopeful hour, which fled with the sunshine. We feel this to be true, indeed we “know it feelingly and feel it knowingly” for our selves, and can sympathize with those that fight against fate, but yet, in ‘truth, we are thankful for our share of resolute determination and characteristic - hopefulness with which we are enabled’ to say — . Resolved on gaining in dae time, . . o The ragged, glddy hight, ~ ; © i Wemalt ln hope for dhyw gublime, ooy .~ Andwork with all our might, - sl

Senater Pratt’s Opinion of the ReeonW& atrmetion Acta, § The Cincinnati Enquirer says that a friend, who was a member of the last House of Representatives of this State, recently visited Logansport, the residence of Senator Pratt, and while there was an involuntary listener to a very entertain: ing conversation on politics between' the Benator and & young lawyer of that. place: ‘The latter confessed to know little about -politics, but complimented Pratt by declaring that he was the ablest lawyer in the ‘Btate, He then said: “Mr. Pratt, I want to dsk you'a question, ‘which I hope you will answer frankly as 4la vyer. .Do you, ﬂ Wﬁd{-w 'tl%ﬁk the Georgia

bll,and several other bills of a so-called récomstruction chardcter, are in accordunce ith the Constitution of the United ;wles’ " Mr. Pratt answered, figbkly : “No, sir, they are unmitigated ogtrages on the Constitution and the people upon whonr they arefinflicted !” . These views are held by all Republicans who have any legul discfimination ; but, nevertheless, from party bigetry and fanaticism, they continue to support them. Mr. Pratt himself either votes for them, or Sits illy by and allows them to pass without his rebuke. - A ‘ '

The Great Bridge at Leavenworth. : Already the work begins to show for itself, and the west abutment,®he middle pier, and the trestle work on the east side, tell the spectator that the Leavenworth bridge over the Missouri river is a fixed fact. Bridge building on the pneumatic principle is not so imposing as the ordinary mode, at least in its preliminary stages, but already this work is making a' good ghow. = ; \

- It will bave a west abutment, a channel pier, a midd)e pier, a shore pier, on the east side, and a long trestle approachon the cast side. Each pier wili have two supporting columnps and an ice-br.aker.— Three iron spans of 340 feet each will form the bridge. The eastern shore pier will be sumk 60 feet below low water mark, and will rise 70 feat above the surtace. The middle pier,—the one which is now almost finished,~-is 45 feet below low water, and will be 70 feét above the water. The channel pier will be sunk 40 feet below low water, and will have a height of 70 feet above the water. Each pier will be sunk mto the solid Tock and cemented, and afterward filled with solid ‘masonry. - This will make a solid base for the superstructure at a height of 70 feet above the water. As to the strength of those piers, a recent experiment proves that they can be relied on in an emesgency.— A few days ago, after removing all resistance from the bottom of the pier, a presure of 500,000 pounds was. applied without the slightest effect on the iron cylinder.

This . may be taken asa proof of the firmness of the middle pier, and from this ‘we can be assured that pneamatic piles will prove a substantial sup;l)lort. for the most imumense bridge and the heaviest trains. Among the curious facts developed in sinking this pier, Gen. Smith relates that when within three feet of the bedrock a stratum of gravel and boulders was: encountered, which was removed after considerable difficalty. After reaching the bed-rock, the cylinder was sunk into it three feet and cemented. The eylinder was then partially filled with eoncrete, which ere this has formed a base as hard as the natural rock itself. Pinding the pressure at the bottom very heavy, the en gineer, to relieve it, let oa a large quantity of water from the too. Yesterday the water was driven out, and -the pier will stand - for some time in its present condition. 2 i

In commencing this pier the high water was very favorable, but while the wori was in progress theriver fell three feet in one night, leaving the berge in the sand. The whole force is now engaged in getting ready for work on the cha’nn_él‘ pier, where the piles/are already driven, and to day the barge will -probably be moored in the channel.—-Leaoean‘} \Times. s
