A Fine Opportun? y.
The New York Herald very tr?lh*
fully remarks that there was ney?* a
finer opportunity for Northern capi?
talists to invest their money than
the South affords just now. Through
tho impoverished condition of that
part of the country and lack af means
to cultivate, nearly air the farm or
plantation lands there oan be pur?
chased for much loss than their value,
in many oases for a third or fourth
of their value. It is tho same with
other kinds of property. For in?
stance, one of tho famous sulphur
springs of Virginia, which was worth,
before the war, $200,000, can now
be purchased for C0,000. Why do
not our capitalists, instead of stock?
jobbing and using their money for
all sorts of kite-flying speculations,
invest in Southern property? They
would make much more by it in the
course of a few years; and that would
be the right way to reconstruct the
South-tho sort of reconstruction
the Southerners most need.
The Herald speaks the truth with
regard to the profitableness of invest?
ments in Southern real estate; but,
by this time, judging from tho pro?
ceedings of Congress, it must be
aware that political reconstruction
must come before the reconstruction
which capital might effectively make.
However inviting the field may be
for good investments in Southern
lands, there is still hanging over the
the South an uncertainty, oven to
tho extent of a dread of confiscation,
that will debar capital from flowing
in a Southern channel. We wish it
were otherwise; we wish Attorney
Goneral Stanbery had either given
us his opinion three months ago, or
had withheld it, until after Wednes?
day l~st. It is now a bono of discard,
and will only widen tho breach be?
tween tho President and Congress.
It is evident, from the first day's pro?
ceedings in Congress, that a bill en?
larging tho powers of the Military
Commanders, and more strinigont ou
tho people of tho South, will bo
passed at tho present sossiou. This
is what wo predicted, nnd but for
tho publication of the Attorney-Gene?
ral's opinion, and tho action of the
Cabinet thereon, there is nota South?
ern State which would not have
carried out, in spirit and in letter,
the reconstruction acts. Aa it is, wo
aro at Bea again, aud wo ure much
afraid that tho legislation of the pre?
sent session will not even leave us
the semblance of Stats Government.
A Sectional Cuiii]iarim>n.
We are averse to any publication
that would engender or foster sec?
tional auimosity, but statistics issued
by the Government, form a part of
history. For instance, tho conclud?
ing volume of the census of 1860,
just issued, affords the means of
many instructivo comparisons, and,
among others, of a comparison be?
tween tho mcmbors of the dangerous
and perishing classes, and their rela?
tive proportion to the whole people,
in two distinct and widely apart
sectious of tho Union, ns follows:
NEWTNOLAXD .'TATES.

From this it appears (omitting

England a pauper to each forty and
a crimiual to each 174 of tho popu
latiou, in the Southern States euu
mcrated, there was only one paupei
to each 151, and one criminal tc
oach 0,421 of tho population. It ii
evident that tho much boasted supe
riority of Now England, on accouni
of her great moral purity and big!
intelligence, tells better i i rhetorica
flourishes than is statistical figures,
What a story it tells for the culture
of Massachusetts, with hor sublime
system of free sohools and her innn
morublo churches, that she hat
51,880 paupers and 12,732 criminals,
while Alabama ono of the dark cor
ners of the earth-so-called-a fiele
ol missionary labor and philanthro
pic efforts, with two-thirds as larg?
a population, had only 582 puuper:
and 179 criminals.
Tb? Purpose* vt tito* _^rty/
Tho New York Times, ot Saturday, !
has the following expoeition of tho (
purposes of the Republican party-at j
least the more moderate portion of it: ,
The Republican State Conventions t
held within the past few' days in 1
Pennsylvania and Alaine afford timely <
indications of party feelings and pur- ;
posed, in view of the special session
of Congress.
So far as its regular organizations
are concerned, the Republican party
has never countenanced the extreme ?
principles of some of its leaders, i
When the question of reconstruction !
.was in its earlier stages, and the pro?
posed constitutional amendment
formed the sum of tho demands made
by Congress upon the excluded States,
the party conventions in the North
and West accepted that measure os a '
finality. Had the South ratified it
promptly, the party would have been 1
pledged by tho action of its Stato
conventions to hold that ratification 1
conclusive, despite nil tho dissatisfac?
tion of the radicals. Tho great body
of the party, speaking through tho
conventions, ranged themselves on
the side of moderation and concilia?
tion-content to take tho constitu?
tional amendment as a guarantee of
the future safety to the Union and
the future justice to the freedmen,
which constitute the main ends of tho
reconstruction policy.
The obstinacy of tho South render?
ed other measures necessary, and tho
legislation of the last session was the
result. Its increased stringency grew
out of tho moro urgent requirements
of the occasion, ns understood by the
Republican party. The objects in
view are still the same. And tho
means employed are not moro harsh
thau to the party judgment lins seem?
ed necessary for thc completiou of
reconstruction. The first process
that of the constitutional amendment,
.with its dependence on the voluntary
action of tho Southern people-had
failed. Compulsion was, therefore,
substituted for voluntaryism, iu no
vindictive spirit, but uuder the con?
viction that Congress must do for tho
South nud the country that which tho
South unwisely refused to do for it?
self.
And the party everywhere declares
its adhesion to the present scheme of
Congress as tho solo basis of recon?
struction. Individual radicals may
insist on severer penalties and re?
newed delays. They may threaten
further legislation as preliminary to
thc re-admision of tho South. But
the State Conventions which have
been recently held vindicate the party
from the suspicion of bad faith. In
every instance, these conventions
have expressly referred to the nets
now in operation, as providing tho
measures by which they aro prepared
to abide. They affirm the justice of
these measures, and to nil practical
purposes their finality. They have
nowhere and in no manner, directly
or inferentially, afforded encourage?
ment to the ulterior measures with >
which the country has been threat- !
ened.
The conventions of the Republi?
cans of Maine and Pennsylvania are
notable In this respect, because their
resolutions have been prepared and
adopted with a full consciousness <>f
the spirit in which Congress will next
ro-assenible. The resolutions are
firm, as they have need to be. They
assure Congress of the hearty ap?
proval of the party to tho full extent I
of tho present legislation. But they
gino no encouragement to proposi?
tions or discussions tending to re?
open tho reconstruction question,
undo all that has been done, and in- .
troduce new elements ot' strife and !
complication. A marked and most
honorable moderation pervades the
resolutions of both conventions.
They reveal, indeed, n determination
to allow of no trilling o>.i the part of
the South. They are a pledge of1
further support, if further measures
be ultimately found essential. But,
in the meantime, they sustain tho
reconstruction scheme ns it is, with a
candor and fairness that should do
much toward counteracting tho mis?
apprehensions to which the violence
of the extremists has exposed the
Republican party.
DEATH OF A UNITED STATES OF?
FICER.-We regret to understand that
William Van Wyck, Assessor of Iu
tcrnnl Revenue for the Third Dis?
trict, died several days ago, at his
residence in Anderson. Ho leaves a
wife, several children and a large
circle of friends to mourn his loss.
DEMOLITION OF THE LUXEMBURG
FORTIFICATIONS.-The Prussians are
very busy at Luxemburg, packing up
all tho guns and artillery stores in the
fortress, the quantity of which is so
great that it will require a couple of
months to get through the work.
There are a grout mauy ancient guns
among tho military lumber, some of
which aro valuable as curiosities, but
as nothing else. The Luxemburgers
lament bitterly tho loss of the garri?
son, which is not very unnatural, ns
it has been calculated that tho Prus?
sians spent ?190,000 a year amoug
tho townspeople. As some little com?
pensation, the King Grand Duke has
offered to make the town a present of
tho buildings previously employed
for military purposes, as also of tho
ground gained by the destruction of
the fortifications. AH this donation
is not valid without thc assent of the
Chamber, tho latter was to meet on
the 20th ultimo, to confirm the act.
THE POPE'S ALLOCUTION.-Th'e|
Pope, on Friday, fltelivered bis allo?
cution to <the assembled clergy. Ho
praised the zeal the bishops liad ex?
hibited in coming to Rome and thoir
attachment to the See. He said that,
the example of the union of the ;
Church to celebrate the canonization '
of the martyrs and the eighteenth
centennial of the martyrdom of St.
Peter, would show its enemies the
immense power of the Church. The
Pope also confirmed the condemna?
tion of errors of October 29, 1865,
and expressed a desire to convoke at
an early day n couucil to repair the
evils which oppress tho Church. It
is asserted that tho number of bishops
who have arrived in Rome amounts
to 450, and that of priests to 30,000.
Among them were five American
arch-bishops and twenty-two bishops.
The American clergy, when received
by the Pope, presented to him $200,
000 in gold. Arch-bishop Spalding,
of Baltimore, nnd Arch-bishop Pur?
cell, of Cincinnati, are ou the com?
mittee to preparo a reply to the
Pope's allocutiou. It is expected
that tho couucil referred to iu thc
Pope's allocutiou will meet iu No?
vember.
NEW SOUTHEKN WHEAT AND FLOCK.
Wo nre gratified to learu that the Into
heavy ruins have not damaged the
wheat and oats South, except in a
few nud unimportant localities. The
wheat in several States lins been har?
vested in fine condition, nnd safely
protected from summer rains. Tin1
wop is bountiful, and the quality nnd
yield nil that could be desired. In
this conuectiou, we mny say that thc
New York market affords excellent
opportunities at the present time for
our Southern planters to obtain good
prices for wheat and flour, this mar?
ket being now bare of desirable stock.
The Messrs. Stenhouse A- Macau
ley, wo see, hive just received n con?
signment of excellent flour anti
wheat, the first of the season, from
South Curolinn-from the firm of
Messrs. Stenhouse A Co., Charleston,
S. C. We hope our Southern friends
will avail themselves oi tho present
advantages in this market to dispose
of their crops, or ut least so long as
high prices are within their reach.
Shippers will find their interest well
cared for in the hands of the above
named firms, and in the hands of
other housevs of like characte r.

WAI: SUIT DECIDED.-At tho last
term of the Circuit Court of Monroe
County, West Va., a lawsuit brought
by Riley Ballard vs. A. T. Capertou,
in which the plaintiff claimed ?00,
000 damages of the defendant as
provost marshal, for false imprison?
ment during the war, was argued.
The defendant was a Confederate
States Senator, representing Virginia
during the war, and aecoieling to the
custom of West Virginia, is consi?
dered liable now for whatever injuries
the "loyal" people may have suffered
at the Lauds of the Confederate au?
thorities. The jury returned a ver?
dict which gave the plaintiff ?1,400
damages. An appeal will be taken.

two years-so much so that he has boen
confined to his room thu greater part of
the time, and I had completely despaired of
his recovery. Having applied to tho best

induced to try your preparation of

it has acted liko a charm-increased his
appetite, purified and enriched his blood,
improved his hoalth, and although covered
with running sores, from which many
pieces of bono worked out, yet, to my great
astonishment, all except one has healed
up. A few more bottles will accomplish a
radical cure. I regard your medicine a
wonderful panacea, and should he gene?
