TUE BEAUTIES OF RECO A1STRUCTIOy. The beauties of reconstruction arc dis played just now in a particularly noticea ble manner. The difference 'twist twee die-dec and twecdle-dum has never been more aptly illustrated than in the late ac tion of congress in relation to the admission of Alabama, and its prospective ac tion in relation to the admission of Flori da. On Wednesday last a resolution was introduced into the rump pronouncing the state ot Alabama " reconstructed, " under what is known a s the Montgomery coLstitution. This constitution, it will be remembered, was defeated in Alabama by a majority of about five thousand votes That is to say, seventy thousand white and black niggers voted for the constitution, and seventy-five thousand white voters did not go the polls, which, accordic? to the law, answered the same purpose as voting in the negative, the law requiring a ma jority of the rejistrrrd voters to adopt a constitution. The rump will admit Alabama under a constitution expressly and decidedly repudiated by the lawful voters of the state. It will, in this instance, as in every other where the interests of niongre.isra may be subserved, violate its plighted faith to the people of the south ; it witl eat its own words, and its consistency will be of a piece with all its past actions and au earnest of what may be expected in the future. Instead of an intelligent m -jority ruling, the rumpites prefer a loud-smelling minority of African descent. They thiuk that the addition of a couple of rads fron-. Alabama to the " High Old Court " of impeachment, is a morsel too sweet to be lost. But " soft you now," the state of Florida ! The people of Florida have adopted a constitution under the same law which governed Alabama; the only difference between the two states Icing, that in Florida the conservatives obtained control and adopted a constitution by a majority of the registered voters, while in Alabama a radical minority was sufficient to attain the same end. Florida has elected conservative men to congress, and radical candidates who were defeated arc now in Washington urging that the congressmen elect be refused seats, and that the admission of the state into the union be indefinitely postponed. Of course congress w 11 follow the advice of these disappointed officcseclcers. Florida has committed the unpardonable sin of fulfilling the law, and repudiating radicalism in her choice of representatives, and she mu3t suffer the penalty. The old-time regulations in regard to the working of majorities and minorities aro being 3adly mixed. The following is a statement of congressional "equal nnd exact justice to all," as displayed in the states above named: In Alabama, a minority, composed principally of mokes, is sufficient for the adoption of a constitution. In Florida, a majority of the voters, composed of white men, is equivalent to the rejection of a constitution. A TIRED GENERAL. Hod. Mr. Genl J. P. C Shanks, K.q., M. C, etc., from the "old Eleventh Indiaaadi8trict," has become weary. Debating is not the desire of his heart. His opinion is that the house should "speak but one word, and strike but one blow." Not content with this summary method of disposing of His Providcr-y, he desires, as a 'personal favor, that the "blow come fire:." What a blood-thirsty old sinner the general must be, to bo sure I Hear him: " Mr. Speaker, my opinion is. that in this grave emergency this house should peak but one word and strike but one blow, and I desire that tho blow come first. I am tired, sir, of this protracted discussion, which postpones an hour that the people have long desired to see. I am in favor of the official death of Andrew Johnson without debate I am not surprised that one who twgan his presidential career in drunkent r should end it in rime' The xprcssiou, protracted fiM

played in this impea hment business that ; perfidy of his wife and frier.t . From the no amount of lying on their part can long- first he got a divorce, the second he has cr deceive the people. They have made sued for 820,000 damage?, and now he impeachment an entirely partisan matter, ' driuks his beer alone ; but, generous felhave strangled debate, have refused to re-j low, he still maintains his treacherous ceivc a protest against their action from wife, who, but for biui, would be in ufcer conservative congressmen, and the judges i destitution.

who are to try the president arc pledged in advance for his conviction. Yet this do.ughty general is tired of protracted discussion! IMPEA C 11 ME ST. Impeachment matters are rather dull. Last Friday the president, by his counsel, appeared at the bar of the senate and asked for forty day's time in which to prepare a defence. The senate magnanimously granted ten days. Speculations as to the result are freely indulged in, but nothing of an important character has yet transpired. March 23 is the day set for the trial. Democrats should recollect that the Spring election will soon be upon themi and that every effort should be made to se cure the success of democratic principles. The fact that the coming election is for un important offices, should not have the effect to render democrats listless and careless ? on the contrary it should arouse them to greater effort. Everybody goes to a state or presidential election, but it requires drumming to get people to attend township elections. Let every democrat sec that no democratic voter stays at home on account ot not knowing his duty. The followiug we clip from a radical exchange: " How to pay for Alaska. There seems to be some tangle about getting payment made for Mr. Seward's north-western purchase. h Why not trade Maryland ünd Kentucky? Wrc have plenty of use for the seven millions, but no more need ot those states than a christian has for two big boils." It is presumed that a large number of boils will make their appearance this fall, that is, if states giving democratic majorities arc what this radical gentleman calls boils. CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE. CniCAGO, March 10th, 1868. Ed. Democrat : I write before an ft open window, without a fire in my room. and the thermometer on the wall declares that the temperature is 03 degrees above zero. Surely thii is no March weather for this climate. The tall carnations and sweetly scented hyaciuths in my window wave their beartiful flowers and shed their delicious perfumes in a breeze soft and warm as that of May's sunniest weather. The clerk of the weather must surely have made a mistake and set us a season ahead. Let us fervently pray that he may ' not discover it soon enough to rectify his error, by setting us back and killing all the tender shoots and buds of our fruit trees. Yesterday the Methodists of Chicago formally dedicated their new church, over on Monroe street, above Morgan, which was built with the proceeds cf their centenary collections. It is a beautiful edifice and cost over 385,000. Of this 35,000 has been paid, and yesterday a collection was taken up to aid in paying the balance. To the honor of the generous, open-handed men and women present, be it said, the large sum of 988,000 was at once obtained by voluntary contributions. Eighteen months ago this congregation had but 180 members. Now it has nearly 800 and can justly lay claim to one of the handsomest churches, the most powerful organ and the most sensational preacher in the north-west. Quite a lot of sportsmen, generally of the Winkle class, went out from Chicago, to participate in a "grand wolf hunt," held on Saturday last by the inhabitants of Lake county, 111., and Kenosha Co!, Wis; For several months past the farmers of that section have suffered greatly from the depredations of several wolve6 who have takon up lodgings among their fat pastures, and it was finally determined to surround the animals, hive them, and then give "no quarter." Five hundred men joined in the sport, labored for a whole day through mud and brush, fired' some thousands of shots, saw three wolves, all of which escaned and succeeded in baggiog three rabbits, one prairie chicken and one skunk. Several of my friends said they were going to that hurt and pitied me because I would Dot go ; but since it came off I have not found a single person who admits having been there. 1 wonder if Damon and Pythias didn't finally fall out about somi little attention one paid to tho other's wife? The thing seems highly probable, and there is such a case recorded here. Over on the west side livo, and have lived for years, side by side, two sturdy Teu-.ons, Stefani and Liste nbcrger. the modern Damon and Pythias. Did one of them drink, he ordered zurti beer, one being for his friend. Did one have a sorrow, the other grieved. Did one rejoice, the other was morry. But in one point did they differ. Stefani had a wile, while Lictenbcrgcr had none. Yet, even there the dissimilarity was less ; than one might suppose. For two years, Mrs. Stefani, not comprehending the nice boundary to the affection of the two Cr&tMS, was as tender and couseutiug to

one as tne oiner. oiy liuesnoerger never said anythi :g about it. Why should he F

.V Ol T 'a 1 . his friend might not like it It was crood enough for him but roujrh on the friend. At length Stefani discovered the Florists, agriculturalists and horticulturists will be gratified to know that the famous house of Messrs. Hovcy ft Nichols, proprietors of the magnificent museum of art and horticulture at No. 57, State street, has issued a new work which, while professing modestly to be simply a catalogue of the stock of their immense establishment is, in reality a complete botanical compend, so far as the wants of the farmer, the florist or the horticulturalist are concerned ; at the same time, a book of invaluable instruction for the culture of fruit, flowers, etc. It consists of an hundred and twenty pages, filled with the most valuable facts for guidance and reference in all matters pertaining to these subjects, the most complete catalogue of seeds, bulbs, shrubs and trees, ever issued in this country ; and a price list of agricultural implements, aud artides of ornamentation in iron, terra cotta etc., which is of iteelf quite valuable Messrs. Ilovey & Nicbols receive the finest seeds, bulbs, etc., froia the best producers of America and Europe, and furnish them at the lowest prices at which good seeds can possibly be furnished. They also have a large and complete stock of agricultural implements, which they receive direct from tho manufacturers, and sell below the regular market rates ; and they are also about to establish a factory of their own for the making of terra cotta work. For some time past we have had a great uumbcr of burglaries in all sections of the city ; burglaries so skillful and successful as to sh )w that they are the work of old "cracksmen." Last night one of the rascals was captured, and proved to be one of half a dozen who were caught in the midst of their operations on a house on the north side. A government detective here is in a little trouble just now, about compounding a felony with two young thieves from Massachusetts. They claim that he caught them, took three-fifths of their sway, and let them go. lie denies the sott impeachment. The lliching's opera troupe, performing in English, arc at the opera house, and have thus far had the most successful operatic engagement ever known in this city. Their houses have been crowded every night, and seats engaged a week ahead. Mrs. Morris, the debutante who chartered md ran McVicker's theatre all la.-t week, made rather a failure, financially, at least, out of the operation. "C." Jeff. Davis has arrived in Havana, en route to Baltimore. The corrected election returns from New Hampshire, makes Harriman'n majority 2,580) a democrat gain of C1G since tli 2 cleetiou of last year.

The treasurer of llhole Island is a defaulter to the amount of 8 1,000. The strike at the mills at Fall Ilivcr, Massachusetts, has ended; the spinners and weavers have voted to return to their work ou terms offered previous to the strike. The citizens of Puerto Rico have petitioned the Spanish government to declare San Juan a free port. The cholera at St. Thomas is unabated, the victims numbering about thirty per day. J. L. Williams, who attempted to obtain money in Memphis, by representing himself as au internal revenuo officer, has bceu sentenced to five years in the peuitentiary. The police officer who was shot, tome time since, at Memphis, by burglar, is dead. There has been 8,000,000 worth of the Erie Railroad Company's propertytransferred to Jersey City. There was a heavy slido at Livingston Creek, on tho Hudsou ltiver railroad. The company now keap double gangs of watchmen there, and trains run slow while passing that point. The amount of fractional currency issued for the week was $482,000; shipments of fractional currency and notes, 840,708; national bank note3 issued, $181,390; fractional currency redeemed aud destroyed, $302,200. Wendell Phillips delivers his little speech at Richmond, on Thursday night. Delphi wants to take notes on time, and is to have a seven hundred dollar clock, to be warranted for ten years. A society of "flood Fellows" has been organized at Bloomington, and is having a great run. Evansville has three dozen lawyers, and not a single partnership firm.

Before increasing the license, the place had thirteen rumshops, paying aunuilly into the treasury six hundred and fifty dollars, now it lias only six, payiDg annually three thousand dollars. The Lafayette Journal says j "A littlo child of Daniel llauna, who lives on Second street, met with a horrible death day before yesterday. Its mother was engaged in washing clothes, and had a boiler of hot water standing on the floor. The little one being at play, walked backward and fell into the boiler, where it was so badly scalded that it died during the night. Its sufferings were terrible beyond description. An express train on the Pennsylvania railroad ran into a land-slide, lately, near Packsaddle. The engine, express, and mail cars were badly wrecked. Neither Mr. Tyng, Jr., nor his father alluded to the admonition given to the former on Saturday, iu their sermons on Sunday. General Sickles has been summoned before the impeachment committee, after which he will proceed to his regiment at Sacke tt's Harbor.

A delegation of Indian chiefs arc in New York, en route from Washington home, where they have been in expectation of straightening affairs in their interests. Their visit to Washington, however, did not accomplish the desired results, and they return to their people with anything but pleasant news. The excitement of last Friday proved too much for Thad, Stevens, and since thou his health has assumed a more serious evidence of decline than at any other time during his illness. It is very doubtful whether he will acain be able to leave his rui.iiK 'iud ilo f-ruuto-it fears are uow entertained that his dayb of du'y have ended. The president of the New Orleans associated press denies the truth of the statement.-, that the bands of the fire Qomrantes recently played "Bonnie Blue Flag" in front of General Hancock's headquarters, and that the latter rode ins carriage with Jeff. Davis. A card has been published, sinncd by two hundred northern and western men, indorsing Gen. Hancock's course while in command. Dispatches from Lafayette states that very severe rain storms prevailed north of that city. The rivers and creeks were at flood tide ; aud an overflow along the Wabash Valley is looked for. There were fears of the safety of the railroad bridges in the vicinity of Greencastle. Tho Uuited States havo sixty thousand religious teachers, and, it may be fairly supposed, seventy thousand houses of religious worship, in which a capital of over SL'00,000,000 is invested. A terrific hurricane visited Torronto on Monday. A railroad depot, dwelling houses, add vdiurchcs were damaged to the extent uf 650,000. One man was killed, and several wounded.

Mr. Stevens ha? a negro servant, toward whom he has always beca particularly kind, and every morning, when entering his room, he called him by name. This morniag, his servant entering the room as usual, Mr. Stevens was observed to look at him intently, but apparently failed to recognize him. The indication of so great a change was observed by several of Mr. Stevens' household, who were iu the room at the timo. Several members of congress, who called to-day, whose business were of an important nature, were requested not to insist upon seeing Mr. Stevens.

Boston " ladies " develop a latent tendency more and more to go into male at tire at the masquerades, which inuicatcs the apparel that Boston ladies would like j to adopt if it did not involve a breach (or breeches) of the manners of society. Report says the lace dress worn by Mis. Frank Skinner, at the recent ball in Boston, given in honor of her son's twenty-first birth day, cost two hundred and twenty thousand dollars !

Forty years ago preparations were made for a marriage between a Mr. Sheppard and a Miss Polly Shipp. For some reason the wedding did not come off. Polly remained single, and, in Woodford county, Kentucky, the other day was finally united to her old love, who has now reached the age of three score and ten. Polly is a lively young creature of something over sixty. Fort Way.ve, Ind., March 17. Our city was visited by one of the most terrible tornadoes that has occurred in Northern Iudiana formauy years. The destruction of property iu this vicinity is immense. Roofs were torn from houses, walls demolished, windows smashed in, and trees uprooted. The hurricane which lasted for several hours, appears to havo come from the south-west, traveling in a north-easterly direction. The destruction of property iu this city was principally on Columbia street; whole blocks of buildings were unroofed and walls partly torn down, and the contents of the store-houses, &c, destroyed by the rain which fell in toi--rents. It is thought that 835,000 worth of property was destroyed in this place alone. No lives were lost, but two men had each of their legs broken by the falling debris.
