RECONSTRUCTION NEEDF.P.-A lotter received from a reliable party in Ten nessoOwin reference to affairs in that State, says: "Giles County is men? tioned as the worst in Middle Ten? nessee as regards tho administration of justice, in consequence of a sheriff who panders to tho low prejudices of the ne^vo-hating community. This man still returns to tho assessor two negroes os 'property;' declares that tho negroes are not free, and has fre? quently offered ten dollars per head to ex-slaveholders for their rights in former slaves. "-Forney. The Beobachter, ono of the best informed papers of Southern Ger? many, publishes tho following state? ment: "Tho wholo Prussian army, soldiers, material, Ac, will bo on a war footing ( Kriegsbereit zum Anmar? sch ) by tho beginning of April. The fact has been made known to all tho officers and military employees, and the greatest activity reigns every? where." Somo 400 of the blood-stained bat? tle-flags and guidons of tho regiments of Illinois have been carefully and neatly folded and stowed away in tho office of the Adjutant-General, at Springfield, and, upon tho polo of each, a neat silver label, in the shape of a shield, hos been affixed, bearing the number of the regiment and arm of tho service. The Richmond Examiner nomi? nates Ohio as "District No. 6," and Maryland os "No. 7." New York must fall ?n as "No. 8," her Legisla? ture having refused to allow colored people to vote on the call of a State Convention. t MABYTiArfD;-At the radical State Convontion in Baltimore, on the 27th instant, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That we will oppose any new convention set up iu subversion of the existing institution nuder the convention bill, which does not ex? press tho will of .the majority of the peoplo, without regard to color; aud that wo will, with-the aid of the loyal representatives of tho nation, mu?, by all means in our power, resist and destroy any such constitution, ns a revolutionary usurpation. Resolved, That we will tako no part in the appronching election for dele fates to a constitutional convention, urther than to recommend a general voto by tho Republicans of tho State against the call for a convention, and to uso every lawful means in their power to defeat the call. Resolved, That, should the call be sustained by a majority of tho voters, the State Central Committee, on ascertaining that result, shall issue a call for district meetings, to be held in ovory election district in the State, for the ohoice, by ballot, on the basis of universal manhood suffrage, of delegates to a State constitutional convention-each County and the city of Baltimore to elect the number to which they may bo entitled under the present Constitution of tho State. Resolved, That the said State con? stitutional convention, if called, shall assemble in tho city of Baltimore on tho first Wednesday in June, and proceed to form a Constitution based upon universal manhood auftrage. The resolutions were adopted amid great cheering. THE FBAXCHI.SE LAW rx TENNESSEE. The unanimous decision of the Su? preme Court of Tennessee, is that the Acts of the Legislature of June 5, 1805, and May 3, 1906, determin? ing the i nullifications of voters, and limiting tho elective franchise, are constitutional. Tho opinion of the court, delivered by Justice Shack el ford,- discusses at length (he forma? tion of the present Stato Govern? ment, and conclusively shows that tho peoplo of the State, in their so? vereign capacity, had conferred up?n tho Legislature full and ample power to determine these matters, and that in exercising this power it had not exceeded the limits, of constitutional provision. Tho court further held that the elective franchise is not an inalienable right Of privilege, but a political right, conferred, limited or withheld at the pleasure of the sovereign peoplo or their represen? tatives; that once granted, it may be taken away by tho exercise of sovereign power, aud if so taken away, as by an alteration in the Con? stitution of tho Stato, no vested right is violated or bill of attainder passed, or act of pains and penalties, in tho souse of the Constitution of the United States. It was further held, that the effect of the pardon of the Pretddout of tho United States was to restore thu citizen to the rights and privileges of a citizen of tho United States, but did not restore to him tho political rights, as a citi? zen of the State, which the people, acting in their sovereign capacity, denied to him. LET TnEAi SrEAX.-The people of the South never stood iu greater need of tho advice of those leading men, in whoso integrity and sound judg? ment they place confidence, than now. Not only aro the times full of peril, but the civil war has swept away old party lines and laud-marks, and the statesmen of thc South are silent and in retirement. Hence it is that whenever some great Coin mander of the late Con? federate armies speaks, his voice is Uko light illuminating the darkness of midnight. The men to whom the masses turned with the most confid? ing trust during thc late war, and whose heroic deeds and honorable scars are evidences of their devotion to the South and hor best interests, have still a powerful hold upon the affections of our people. Heneo it is that the counsels of Lee, Beauregard, Longstreet and Hampton, carry an influence and weight which Calhoun, Webster. Clay and ?1 ackson might have envied in times gone hy, when great states? men controlled the will of the masses. Tho unanimity with which our greatest heroes and most chivalrous champions, counsel prompt and de? cided action upon the part of our people, shows how important it is that, in the present juncture, no loading Southern mau should bc silent. Let them counsel the masses. [Richmond Times. Tho Boston Traveller is conducted by men of shrewd business tact, and yet we fiud this sentence of arrant nonsense in its editorial columns: "There is also an uneasy feoling among business men, on account of tho recent utterances of tho President about the national debt. Suppose ho should secretly eneourago the rebels to rush to arms-how easily he could destroy tho national credit." This cheerful habit of "supposing" once plunged a little girl into deep distress, as in her mind's eye she be? held herself tho inothcr of a charm iug flaxen-haired boy, who went to a trunk in tho attic, oponed tho lid, looked in, let go his hold of tho lid, which, falling, chopped off his flaxen haired head, and left the little girl a "supposed" mourner. Tho Boston Post says that the State constables have notified all the saloon keepers in that city that they must close up on the salo of cider and ale on and after April 1. It is under? stood that the sale of beer and cider will be prohibited in every city and town throughout the Commonwealth on tho period above-named. Tho salo of all other liquors is of course forbidden. Tho Hebrews of Norfolk gavo a grand masquerade ball on Thursday night, the proceeds of which they appropriate to the Washington Lee Association, for the benefit of the widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers. In Petersburg, also, they had a grand masquerade, which is described by thepapers there as being in all respects a magnificent affair. After having been compelled to make important concevons to the English reform movement, thoTpries. have at length declared their readi? ness to take the first step toward re? dressing the grievances of Ireland. Mr. DTsraeli has announced in Par? liament that tho Government intends to bring in a liberal Irish reform bill. Pike's Theatre, at tho oorner of Twenty-third street and Eighth ave? nue, New York, is fast approaching completion. It will seat 2,500, and is built generally on the pattern of Niblo's Garden. Its, stage will be eighty feet wide by seventy deep the largest in the country. No ex? pense will be spared in decoration. Col. Benjamin Franklin Mosby is engaged in manufacturing corn-cob pipes in Richmond,. Ya., which ho oilers for sale to tho smokers of the weed. The Whig speaks of him as having "exquisite taste and rare in? ventive genius" in the construction of these corn-cob pipes. The Harrisburg Register mentions a most cruel and revolting case of infanticide perpetrated in tho vicinity of Port Kepublic, recently. A young woman named Sallie Grim gave birth to illegitimate twins. To conceal tho shame and disgrace of the affair, her brother buried the children alive. PiiEXTV OF PoilK.-Tho St. Louis Pria'- Garren! publishes the annual report of the pork-packing in the West. The total numherof hogs was 2,125,254, against 1,705,955 last sea? son. The general average of weight was 232)?i pounds, against 231 3-10 pounds last season. MISSISSIPPI.-It seems the discus? sion of the situation in Mississippi is likely to lead to some unpleasant re? sults. It is said that Mr. Barksdalo, of the Clarion, aud Mr. Yerger, of the Mississippian, are likely to settlo their differences by a resort to arms. A man in Danvers, Mass., re<_CMtly hui some goods stolen from his pre? mises, and, on putting the police in track of the thief, found the goods in tho possession of his own son, whom he had not seen for two years. GEN. BEAUREGARD.-The letter of Gen. Beauregard is pretty much like that of Gen. Longstreet. He accepts the situation, advises the. people to act, and thinks the freedmen may bo an element of strength ta.tho South. A telegraphic wire has lately been established between the Corps Legis latiff aud tho French Emperor's study in the Tuileries, by meaus of which his Majesty receives tho reports of the debates while they arc going on. A church, dedicated to St. Vincent de Paul, is now being erected at Mar? seilles, at a cost of 3,0l)0,000f. Tho stained glass alone will ho the value of 150,000f. The Abbe de Pougnet, of Avignon, is tho architect. No wonder crime should be ram? pant in Memphis, when a subaltern detective * robs his chief's safe of ? 12,OOO, as tho Avalanche declares was done tho other day, aud no effort was made to arrest the thief. Emma Collins, for ravishing whom George E. Pratt, the Nashville danc? ing master, has just been sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment, has made affidavit that her evidence given at the trial was false. Soi TiiiriiK MERCHANTS IS ST. Loris. There have been largo numbers of Southern merchants in St. Louis, but many aro now leaving, being unable to obtain credit. A poor widow in Memphis, Tenn., being unable to support herself and child, took poison Friday night last, leaving her girl, threo years old, to be cared for by her neighbors. "Brick Pomeroy" inaugurated an association in New Orleans for the erection of a monument to thc me? mory of Artemus Ward. The ladies of Providence moot every day at one of tho church vestries, to make garments for the Cretans. Half the white population of New York city aro Catholics. SHIP NKWS.
