'The following is from the Zainesville (Ohio;
Times : "Among the marriages occurring in this

We find the following paragraph in the Imperial
Review, a new weekly Conservative paper : "It is
qpt generally known that the Fenian difficulty was

The Richmond Examiner says : " Our talented
young townsman, Mr. EDWARD V. VALENTINE, has
just completed, in clay, a statuette of General J. E

admirable likeness of this distinguished officer,
both in form and feature. The pose is character ia
tic, and the whole work is said by those who know
bim well, to be well nigh perfect. It will be
moulded in plaster in a short time. The statuette
is a much better likeness of General STUART than
the bust by the same artist.
Mons. 'JEAN BAPTISTE LASSUE, an ingenius
Frenchman of New York, claims to have invented
an serial ship, capable of being steered and manag?
ed in the air, and of making the trip across the At?
lantic in three days and a half. His ship is a lon?
gitudinal cylinder, representing about 1000 feet in
length and 300 in diameter. Through thiscylin
pdar, at its centre,: passes a tunnel, and through
this tunnel are steps, and men tread them to pro?
pel thp ship. Attached to the outer surface of the
cylinder is a thin screw or spiral flange, which,
auger-like, is to bore the passage of the ship
through the air.
There wss a great sale of coal at auction in New
York, a day or two since. Some two hundred thou?
sand tons were Bold at a valuation of nearly one

grate, $512J; 18,000 tons egg. $5 25 ; 9000 tons
stove, $5 40 ; 11,000 tons chesnut, $4 25. Messrs.
QUINT ARD, WARD & Co., took about thirty-five
thousand tons of thia coal, and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company twenty-five thousand tons.
Other large amounts were taken by particular
firms.
The New York Tribune of the 15th says : "Mr.
SEWARD'S letter to Mr. DUDLEY, our Consul at
Liverpool, states officially what we knew unofficial?
ly, that the United StateB Government has entirely
repudiated the compromise which Messrs. MORSE
and Gans made last December with the rebel
agents in England. Without repeating the his?
tory of the case,, it is enough to say that white the
United States had suits in the English courts to
recover a very largo amount of property held by
rebel agent?, Mr. MORSE, Consul at London, and
Mr. GIBBS, an igent of the Treasury Department,
agreed to a compromise by which our Government
abandoned valuable claims. Mr. SEWARD'S letter
says the arrangement was made upon absolute
want of authority, and that Mr. MORSE had ex?
press instructions to make no contract with re?
presentatives of the rebellion," ?

TUESDAY MORNING-, FEBRUARY 19, 18C7.
CON GRESS AN? THE SOUTH.
Mr. ELIOT'S Bill for tho reconstruction of Loui?
siana, which passed tho House a few days ago by
a vote of 113 against 48, and Mr. STEVENS' Bill for
converting the ten States, lately known as "Con?
federate," into fivo Military Districts, which passed
the House by a vote of 109 to 55, are very similar
in p urpose and intent. In a word, the original Bill
of Mr. STEVENS simply provided military govern?
ment for the Southern States-leaving them still
without representation. Its avowed object was to
leave them open to Mr. ELIOT'S Bill-the Louisi?
ana Bill-which enfranohises all the negroes and
disfranchises all the whites who wore concerned in
the war. The last amendment, however, that in?
troduced hy Mr. BLAINE, and. subsequent?
ly amended" by Mr. SHEEHAN, which was
passed in the Senate on Br urday, and which we
publish elsewhere. proposet> to admit the South?
ern States on the adoption of the Constitutional
.Amendment- and suffrage for all-white and;
black alike. There has been, considerable "field?
ing" in tiie debate.of these Bills in both Houses,
and they will not pass, it is thought, without still
further modifications. Conference Committees will
doubtless be called for and appointed to har?
monize the .notion of the two Hor es, and
perhaps, also, with a view of ble ding all
the reconstruction plans and Bills nto one
that shall cover the whole ground. Should Con?
gress agree on any bf the schemes that have lately
been put forward, the President will almost cer
tainly veto such Bill; for notwithstanding all that
Mr. RAYMOND, Mr. EZSQHABI, . Mr. BANES and
others, ba ve, ?aid about the probability of a com?
promise between the two antagonistic branches of
the Government, we cannot believe that the Presi?
dent will give his sanction to a policy in all re?
spects diametrically opposite from that which he
has pursued for nearly two years. .It is impossi?
ble to say now. what will - be the fate of such a
Bill in case of a veto, as the vote waa too close on
both the House Bills of last week to warrant our
giving an opinion aa to the result. If they" cannot
set aside tiie veto, the impeachment will doubtless
be pressed; with-renewed.vigor.
But suppose Congress shall be able to command
the necessary number of votes to pass the Bill over
the veto, the President, as the Commander-in
Chief of the Armies of the United States, will not
enforce it inti! its constitutionality shall have been
determin.a by the Supremo Court. There can, of
course, be no question aa to the . character of the
decision that, will be given by this.-Co ;rt. The de?
crees they have already rendered in the Military
Commission and Test Oath cases, point out.clearly
what will be their verdict on this much more fla?
grantly unconstitutional Eill., This Congress
kn?W8 very well, and they will therefore (impelled
by the instinct of party-preservation)-proceed ;in
their endeavors >'n some way to set aside the au
thorifcy of the President, and -so to "reorganize"
tiie Supremo Court as to render their decrees in?
nocuous to the interests of the Radical porty, j
The great object of Mr.; STEVENS' and Mr. EL?
IOT'S Bills, appear to be to. disoniranchise the
entire white population of the ton Southern States,
to enfranchise all tho negroes, and thus hand over
the Government into tho hands of these latter
new-made citizens. The Louisiana Bill provides
that the President aimil appoint for. a year a Gov?
ernor for the State ; a man of thoroughly loyal an?
tecedents and character, whose skirts are entirely
free of any " rebel' affiliations, and that in the
same way and. under the. same 'conditions a provi?
sional council of nine members ?hall bo forthwith
appointed for the temporary government of the
State, including the appointment of subordinate
officers, &c, all of whom ore to be subject to the
iron-clad oath ; that on the first Tuesday in June
next, under said provisional government, there
sholl be an election for a regular -Governor, Lieu?
tenant Governor and Legislature;-that mole citi?
zens of aU colors, above the age of twenty-one,
thoroughly loyal and free from any taint of the "re?
bellion," shah heve the right to vote, and none
others; that in October next a convention of loyal
men sholl be elected to form a new State Constitu?
tion ; that the State, meantime, shall be placed un?
der the additional protection of ! a military com?
mander, with a sufficient force to maintain order,
and that all the proceedings of this provisional
and regular State government and convention,
shall be subject to the approval of Congress from
the first to the last step required for tho restora?
tion of said State to full fellowship in the Union.
So much for Mr. ELIOT'S Louisiana Bill, which
certainly hos the merit of being thoroughly iron?
clad. This will reduce oil the present office hold?
ers, of whatsoever degree, into thp ranks of pri?
vate life, and elevate a new class of men, who have
not been very patiently waiting for this political
millennium.
Mr.. STEVENS' Bill, which we printed in full on
thefirst'rage of yesterday's NEWS, provides for
the division of the ten "Confederate" States into
five Military Districts, and tho revival of martial
law therein, each district to be under a military
commander, and a? I to be subject to the general
supervision and control of General GBANT.
This bill strips our State Governments of power,
but does not overthrow thom. We shall doubtless
bc T>ermitted to keep up, ot our own expense, both
State and municipal governments; which, how?
ever, will be mere shams. The judiciary depart?
ment alone may still bo of some service to us, in
the administration of the ordinary civil business.
These Courts, however, will possess no highor au?
thority than would a board of arbiters, as there is
no executive power to back their decrees.
Mr. STEVENS, by calling the Southern Stales,
"so-called Confederate," ignores the lapse of two
years, with all that has been done during that time
towards" the establishment of loyal civil govern?
ments in the South. The universal reign of peace
throughout tho Union, proclaimed by the Presi?
dent a year ago is at an end. Congress deHbo
rately announces, by the passage of this law, that
the war has not yet ended, that "the so-called
Confederate States" are now in the state of an?
archy in which they found themsolves immedi?
ately after the surrender of the Confederate
armies.
The SHEEHAN Amendment, which we append, is
not mach better than the bills of MESSES. STEVENS
and ELIOT. It asks us to adopt the Constitu?
tional Amendment-which doubtless we will never
do,-and says mi versai suffrage for all.
SECTION 5th. When any rebel State forms a Con?
stitution in conformity to tho Constitution of tho
United States, framed by a convention of dele?
gates, elected by male citizens twenty-one years
old without regard to race, color or previous con?
dition, resident in the State for ono year, except
persons disfranchised by participation in tho re?
beli?n or by felony; when the Constitution pro?
vides that the olective franchise be enjoyed by all
persons qua^fied as delegates; when tho Constitu- i
tion. ratified by a majority of electors who have
elected the delegates, shall be submitted to Con- I
gross and approved; when said State Legislature,
elected under the said Constitution, adopts the
Constitutional Amendment, and said Amendment
becomes part of the National Constitution-said
States shall be declared to bo entitled to repre
sentation, and Senators and Representatives there?
from nba", be admitted on taking the oath pre?
scribed by law.
Our condition, in caso either of tho Bills or tho
above Amendment becomo a law, will be a re?
newal of tho state of things that obtained
here in 18C5, and thc early part of .?8GG, of
which -orno of our citizens, doubtless, still retain
a lively recollection. Provost Courts and Provost
Marshals; Military Commissions and United States
Detectives; a censorship of tho press and a super?
vision of thc pulpit-these aro some of tho fea?
tures we arc likely to soc reintroduced.
The prospest is gloomy in the extreme; and we
can seo but little light in the black cloud that over?
shadows the futuro. With a Military Dictator and
a vigilant censorship, the editors duly will not be
m easy one. AVe presume we shall bo under the
necessity of imitating one of our French confreres,
when under similar durance, and enunciate noth?
ing save mathematical axioms and the mojt in
lubitable ecicntific truths. Speculations of all
rinds will be under the ban. The task is indeed
liflBcult, but perhaps not wholly impossible.

WILMINGTON, N. C., 31st December, 1866.
Mr. Banks:
Sm: I have been using your "Soline Oil" for some
time in a night lamp, and find it the safest and most
economical burning fluid I have ever used. It gives a
steady and beautiful soft light and I can say from expe?
rience that the article obtained from you is not explosive,
but is perfectly safe in the hands of any one.
Respectfully,
ERV. A PAUL BEPITON.
