One item to induce foreigners to visit Paris dur ing the Exposition, is the purchase of land by the French Government to bury a few thousand poo? dle who are expected to die there. One thousand five hundred men are chopping wood orrithe plains for the Union Pacific Railroad. Their wives and families camp out wi?h them, and are provisioned by the contractor. About $60,000 worth of whiskey belonging to the distillery of S. N. PIKE & Co.," on West Fourteenth Street, New York city, was Beized the other day on suspicion of beb ig illegally withdrawn from bond. Prof. AGASSIZ, whose lectures on South America are described aa having been of great interest, con? cluded his series on Tuesday with a report of his .v observations of the monkeys and other animals of that country. Prof. WOLCOT? Goss has been nominated, by the President, as Commissioner to the Paris Ex * position ic place of Prof. AGASSIZ, whom other, duties have compelled to decline the acceptance of the office. \ Interesting siitathave been commenced by a member of a Chicago dry goods house against his partners and a well known New York merchant, for conspiracy to get him out of the-firm.

The South American war is rather more bloody of late, and ql?to as incomprehensible as ever in ita'causes'and. relations. Bf is. believed, however, that there is a 'prospect of peaced-which means, in that country, a breathing spell merely. Pickled geest; and turkeys, preserved in a nove' rnahner, and psekad ia barrols made for the pur . pose,, have been imported into Liverpool from New Yaric within tho last few days, and sold readily and proved good in the eating. The Wisconsin Legislature has made a practical move towards a resumption of specie payments. Ia the lower house a resolution has been passed directing the State Treasurer to pay the salaries of members ax*l also that of the Governor in coin. Some ineffably mean rogues in Sandusky went to a Presbyterian Church, whore seats were kind? ly given them, and then reciprocated the courtesy by stealing the bibles and hymn-books from the pew, mutilating what few they left behind. The Martiuaburg (Va.) Hew Era says : " BELLE Boro-" whose eventful and romantic career during the war and since, has been a prolific theme of song and story, and given her a world-wide repu? tation, arrived here last week on a vii it to her mother." . ^ America, acctirding to researches made some years ago by Lieutenant MAURY., is situated on relatively higher ground than any other part of the world.

Governor Sw* NN, of Maryland, who was recently elected United. ? tates Senator, has declined to ac? cept thab'posi?ion. He states that be has become satisfied that ho-can bet ter Borve th e State; by re? taining the position nernow occupies, and that with this conviction he can pursue no other course. A Waahington dispatch says : "SUBEATT will doubtless prove an alibi on the night of the assas? sinations ...He waa unquestionably implicated in the original conspiracy for -che abduetfon of Presi? dent LINCOLN, tnt that was changed to an assassi? nation plot but a few hours before the bloody deed was committed. ; The UniV'Srsii.-y of Georgia opened at Athens on the 15th with one hundred and fifty students. Seventy. additiimal pupils applied, and were ad? mitted. There, were also dirty maimed Confede? rate scumers, eater ed. at the high school of the University, who wiL receive thei.': board ac d tui? tion free of ohaj-ge,jrom the State. The General .Assembly ol Virginia, which was to adjourn on Saturday, adopted a resolution on Fri? day requesting the Governor to convene the Leg? islature in extra session to-day, "so ae to consider m ? ers of S ta ta concern pending in the Legisla - ture and unfinished^ as others^ that are impending over us but whi ch are under the control and will' of the ruling power at Washington." The Richmond 1 papers endorse the action of the Assembly. In the Senate, Thursday, Mr. HENDRICKS said Mr. VOOREZES had been engaged as the agent of ' the 'Western distillers to secure an honest execu- 1 tkm of the retenue laws, and to devise means for putting a stop to the abuses under which liquor .' was sold for less money than the amount of the 1 tax imposed upon il. It was on tbiB business that bc travelled in the South recently. He was in no 1 way employed by the Treasury Department. The Wilmington Journal, of yesterday, says : 1 "Mrs. JEFFERSON DAVIS passed through this city 1 on Friday evening hist accompanied only by a ser- 1 vant fin route tor Charleston. She was met at the depot by the Hon. GEO. DAVIS and lady, Mrs. J. E. 1 OAKLEY, President of the Ladies'Memorial Asso- < ciation of this city, and Hon. A. H. VANBOKEELEN. We are pleased to learn that this eminent lady is 1 enjoying good health, although, naturally enough, c depressed in spirits on account of the troubles by c which she is stUTounded." 1 The correspondence of King GEORGE the Third 1 with Lord NORIE has just been published in Lon- 1 don. It may please Americans tobe informed that 8 their obstinate and bigoted enemy did not know bow to spell, and that some of his errors are as ? amusing as those of THACKERAY'S Mr. Yellowplush. r In one case he speaks, of an offence as of "the * blackest die." Afterwards he announces that "the J d'ye is cast." Other specimens of his spelling are i these: toutch addopt, aleviate, Bhaddow, and t cirrounds. _Wi?> all his horror of innovation, he 8 still spelled it with a Bingle n. t A writer in the Atlantic Monthly, for January, 6 says: "The design of the fashionable church- 8 builder of the present moment is to produce a * richly-furnished, quietly-adorned, dimly illumi- V nated ecclesiastical parlor, in which a few hundred e ladies and gentlemen, attired in kindried taste, <1 may sit perfectly at their ease and see no object P not in harmony with the scene around them. P Everything in. and around the church soema to 6 proclaim it a kind of exclusive ecclesiastical club, a designed for the accommodation of persons of ten a thousand dollars a year and upwards." EDWARD Ha:rES KEOQHOE, of Ballenclar, county t Wicklow, Ireland, an eccentric but worthy gentle- T man, retired from public life in December, 1836, in t consequence of some trifling pecuniary losses, and ? remained in his bedroom for thirty years and one f month. He died last January. He occupied a c moBt beautiful residence, and remained unr^nib- t ed through the changes of three ownerships, fvoni S uncle to nephew and from nephew to brother. He fl lias been attended by all the physicians in his a neighborhood, who have pronounced him perfectly c healthy. He was well posted in the news of his t neighborhood, retailed by his attendants.

MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1867. THE MILITARY BILL. The telegrams which we publish this morning will inform our readers of what thoy have all an? ticipated-that the President has vetoed the Re? construction Bill; that in his veto he has repeated, with equal courage and consistency, his resolution not to join in the destruction of the country and the Constitution-and that the necessary majority of Congress have overruled his veto. This Act is now the law of the land, and we of the South, upon whose lives and fortunes and character it presses, are forced to consider its provisions and . decide upon our .duty. The point ot fret importance is to understand clearly and correctly what aro the provisions of the j Act, and in what condition, politically, it places the State. As we understand it, it is this: After reciting in the preamble its alleged neces? sity, namely, that "no legal State governments or adequate protection for life or property now exist in the rebel States," it proceeds to convert those States into rrlitary departments, placing those departments under the command of "an officer of the army not below the rark of Brigadier-Gene? ral," who is to be appointed by the President, and whose duty it shall be to protect ail persons in their rights ol' person aud property, to suppress insurrection, disorder and violence, and to punish, or cause to te punished, a1! d'sturbers of the pub? lic peace and criminals. To effect this .the officer in command is authorized either to use the local civil tribunals, or to institute military commissions if he deems them necessary. So far it is clear the Act does not cen tompiate, and, if fairly adminis? tered, would not seem to require an interference with that whole class of interests involved in the decisions of the Courts of Law and Chancery, and if impartially executed, will as fully justify the in? terposition of the mifitary commander in a case of an unjust decision pf the Freedman's Bureau as it would in the erroneous decree of a District Judge-for that officer's duty is to "protect alt persons rn their rights of person and property," *and under this Act tho late disturbance on Savan? nah River would have been as promptly and ef? fectually settled as it could have been before its passage. There is noihing in what may be called the military provisions, of the Bfll to prevent a dis? creet and judicious officer from administering it in the interests of the whole people of the State. But there can be no doubt that the preamble, and the very enactment or this militarf'strpremacy, do en? tirely destroy the political existence of the State. South Carolina is no longer an equal and co-ordi? nate State of the Union; she is simply and only a part of one of the military departments of the conquered territory of the United btates. The question, therefore, 'immediately arises, what be? comes of the existing civil government of the State ? where and what are her Governor, her Judges, her Legislature ? This question the Act answers explicitly. It provides that, while this military authority exists, "any civil government which may exist therein shah be deemed provision? al only, and in all respects subject to the para? mount authority of the United States at any time to abolish,: modify, control or supersede the same;" which provision has precisely the same effect as if a section of the Act had declared that, in order to prevent the confusion resulting from such a change of government, Hon. JAMES L. ORE, lately elected Governor, the Hon. W. D. PORTER, lately elected Lieutenant-Governor, the Hon. B. P. DDNKTN, lately elected Chief Justice, the following persons lately elected Judge?, Chancellors, Sena? tors and Representatives, are, and are hereby de? clared to be, the Provisional Government of South Carolina, subject to the paramount authority of the United States, Ac., A*c The present civil gov i eminent of the State-if we may be still allowed to use that^ftfee for convenience-ia, therefore, un? til altoredjplhe authority of the United States, which is Congress and the Executive, a valid gov? ernment of tho State, deriving its authority from the .very same source as that which confers power upon the military commender. The State, therefore, under this Act, may be described as a territory or' the United States, having a military commander entrusted with certain powers, and a provisional civil government charged with certain other pow? ers, both holding under the same authority, L odi denned and limited ia tho;v spheres of action by tho provisions of this law, and both subject to ab? rogation, alteration or modification by the "para? mount authority of tho United States. As our ob? ject is at present to describe only a clear outline of tho Bill, we will not attempt a di sens sion of the points wherein these two sets of authority may conflict. We go no further now than this conclu? sion,-that the government of South Carolina is a mixed government of military and civil power, created by the same Act, derived from the same authority, and subject to the same control. The Act, having'created this political condition, proceeds to provide the moans whereby the peo? ple of the State may put ox end to their territorial existence and this military control, and resume their places as a State of the Union. The ma? chinery by which this is to be effected is a Con? vention, the action of which shall be accompanied by the following conditions,: 1. The Convention must be composed of dele? gates elected by tho malo citizens of the State twenty-one years old and upward, of whatever race, color, or previous condition, \fha- have been resident in the State for one year previous to the j election, except Buch as may be disfranchised for participation in the rebellion or for felony at com? mon law. i 2. That Convention must adopt a Constitution in which tho same qualification ?3 is required for electors ?of its delegates, is made the constitution Ed qualification for auftrage. 3. That Constitution must be ratified by a ma? jority of those voting on the question of ratifica? tion who have the same qualification. 4. That Constitution must be submitted to and inproved by Congress. 5. A Legislature of the State, elected under the iew Constitution, must have adopted the Amend nent to the Constitution of the United States ?eretoforo rejected. 6. This Constitutional Amendment must have ?come law by the votes of thc necessary numb r )f other States. When all these conditions arc performed, no ono )eing allowed to be a member of the Convention, ir to vote for a member of the Convention, who is UsfranchiBed under tho Constitutional Amend nent, then the State shall bejieclared entitled to eprosentation in Congress, and its Senators and uembors, if able to take tho test oath, can take tlioir eats. In-shorter words, thin Act is the Constitu ional Amendment, with the addition of military ;overnment and universal suffrage. And here we nay as well notice one very curious contradiction ri the Act which wo have not seen pointed out. .'he Act requires the State, by its Convention, to ?corporate universal suffrage without regard ' o clasB, color, or previous condition, into its Con titution, and at the same time requires the State o adopt the Constitutional Amendment which ^pressly fives the power to thc State to limit tho uffrago for any reason, provided that a propor ionate reduction of the representation accom- 1 anies tho limitation. Our present object, how ver, is not to discuss the character and conse uenccB of the Act, but having ascertained its rovisions, to inquire fir?t, and as tho most iractical question, What amount of discretion is iven to the State under them ? What can wo do j nd what can we leave undone ? How far can we ccept or reject ? ...... Tho first impression made by this Act, might be j hat it offered an alternative to the State. That, if ! ire chose, we might elect to remain under the Mili ary and Provisional Civil Government, and thus ? lostpone the calling of the C onvention which is . orced to mako so radical a change in all our politi- \ al habits and institutions. Reflection will show ' hat this is not so. So long, indeed, as the United Itates Government acquiosced in this condition of ' geling, it would be permitted to continue. But if, ] t any timo, that Government considered the ' hange in our State Constitution desirable, it has ho power to eflect it. The delay can onlv be ef- : jeted by the Provisional Civil Government neglect- - lg to call the Convention, and as that Provisional 3 rovernment is subject to abrogation by the para- ] mount authority of the United States, no one can doubt that, should it become an obstacle instead of an instrument, it would boimmediatoly and uncere? moniously destined or altered. The Provisional Government to-day represents the white people of thc Stato, including those disfranchised under the Constitutional Amendment. The Convention will represent tho colored vote of the State, excluding those disfranchised; and if it i$ considered advisa? ble by the United States Government to bring this extension of tho suflrago into immediate operation, it id idle to suppose that tho Provisional Govern? ment, tho machinery, will be allowed to defeat the very purposo for which it was created; .. Independent of this view, it is a grave question how fur tho President, aa thc chief military author? ity of the country, would be empowered, if the Pro? visional Government failed to act, to initiate hind seit the expression of the popular will. And it is. very clear that the action of the President, or of the Provisional Government of any one of the! States, wculd seriously influence thc action of the; others. It would appear, therefore, that while the Provisional Government of the State can, if it deems proper, act, it cannot prevent action. The question which is thus presented to the State is ono of such momento. ; importance that it de? serves the most careful and conscientious consider? ation, for it involves our whole foUire. It is a ques? tion not to be lightly or passionaf?r^answered, not to bo decided on tho impulse of sentiment, or at the suggestions of selfishness, but to be met as the gravest issue that has ever boen submitted to a people who ore brave and have been freo, and who will not forgot that before now, in the history of tho world, the time.has been when the truest and the most unselfish courage has been shown in meeting fairly and patiently the consequences of failure. Wu shall not hesitate to indicate what, in our opinion, is the proper course of action; but as the Presideut has vetoed this Act, and it has be? come a law in the face of his protest, WP shall wait for a few days until we ascertain how ho construes the powers with which it invests him, and how he proposes to discharge the duties which, as a law of the land, it now imposes. We think it would be premature to come to any decision until this is known. COMMERCE UP THE PORT. The foreign and domestic exports during the month of February show an improvement over those of the first month of the current year ; and although there has boen a downward tendency in the price of cotton, yet buyers have been checked in some measure from extensive operations, in consequence of the extreme stringency of the money market. 1^,0 Nearly 23,000 bales of cotton have been Bhipped during the past month, of which 13,494 bales have boen exported to foreign, and 9429 bales to domes? tic ports. From the 1st September, 1866, to the 28th Febru? ary, 1867, inclusive, the total exports of cotton reach 100,641 bales, a much larger quantity than was contemplated would reach our market in the first six months of the commercial year, and which foreshadows an excess beyond the most liberal estimates for the whole year. The import trade has also been characterized by an improvement. Several cargoes of merchan? dise from England, Fiance and-Cuba, have arrived, aud the total value of imports amounts to $151,662. The bulk of these imports have been warehoused, in consequence of the scarcity of gold for the pay? ment of duties. The stocks of our wholesale merchants and jobbers are full, varied, and well assorted, in all li nee-of g J oda, and til G country'trade can procure merchandise directly imported from abroad, or of domestic manufacture, on reasonable terms. The following figures show the business transac? tions cf the month of February, 1867 : Receipts from Customs.$ 36,490.34 Value of Imports. 124,759.00 Value of Imports warehoused. 26,903.00 Export)*-Foreign, 13,494 bales Cotton.
