' On the ere of an election, moment ous in its results, why is there not something being done towards a thor ough "organization of the Democratic party in the. county of Morgan? Our Stuto Convention has met and nomi nated our candidates for Slate officers and have recommended a thorough and early organization in erery county in the State. The great Democratic leaders in Ohio are convinced of the neoessity cf early, continued, and en ergetic action in this State, and we ask if eur county leaders are not going to giro ear not a deuf ear, but a quick, comprebenBivroae to ther beheets ? We are not liring in a cOuatryand an age when a few short weeks of speech making , and bluster will gain the votes of the manses. "We are living amongst, and compoBO, a readin thinking people, whose minds must be convn.eed of tho rightfulness of meas ures before thoy will adopt them. The disasters which the Domocratto party hs successively received of late years, can be attributed solely and only tc the inertia whieh the leaders have al lowed to steal over and control them. While the Radicals have been active, ever Vigilant and continuous in their efforts, we have been extremely sloth ful and negligent, being satisfied with showing a little zeal and spirit within a week or two of an election, ..While the Radicals are scattering their mis- representatioae and frauds by means their superabundant press, throughout very family in the country and there by poisoning the puVifomind, we are content to patronize our papers provid ed we can get them without paymjfor them, or working to I a crease their eir- nnliitiou.'

Niw York, Feb.' 4-The World's Washington special says : The highly important oonstflfalions which the Fresidenf aiid his Cabinet have been holding with leading Southern menon a new plaa for reconstruction, and al luded to last week, tnded farf night in an agreoment thai a scries of resolu tions in favor of suffrage, based on reacting and writing and a property qualification of $200, should be admit ted for adoption to the Southern Leg tol'atures, to pave the way for the sub mission of the question by the Presi dent in his message ' te the 40th Con gress. These resolutions were sent to the Governors of tho, Southern States to-day, accompanied by an advisory letter stating that they meet the Presi dent's approval. ' rfh bjaestion of am nesty does not appear to have been an essential feature of the proposed plan. The Governor of North Carolina was telegraphed to night to keep the Leg islature in session to consider the pro position, and similar messages wore sent, to the Executives 5f Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Governor Orr, of South Carolina, left to-night to submit the netf ptan to fhtt'Legibla tare of His own- State.' The Times' special says investiga tion of the Custom ITouse affairs in New York and Boston have been com pleted and the committee returned to Washington. i Several days will elapse bofore their report will be made. It is anderstocd a majority of the Reconstruction committee have agreed upon a plan which, if adopted by Con gress, will be acceptable to the South and will apeedily settle tho question. The leading Southorn men now in Washington give assurance that their constituents will at.once comply with its Requisitions. . , . The loan certificate proposition is approved by Senators Fossenden and Sherman, and there is little xr & op position in either llouse to iL . Secre tary MoCulloch also approves it. . , . ; A. Washington special says the Judi ciary committee have done nothing in the impeachment matter yet, except conferring wills several, gentlemen in formally, and this has boon done by Radical members at the request of Mr. Ashloy; id'order to see how much of a vrosvoot' there was to sustain the charge.1 It is rumored that Gen. Sheridan will be sunt out to the plains to conduct the impending Indian war. : ' : ' ' : The joint Retrenchment committee don't yet find foundation for the char go iigninst the' .management of the sub-Treasury in New York. They will examino a few more witnesses and re port this week. The Herald's special says it is set tled tha$ articles of impeachmont will be presented to the House at an early day, but tbo Senate will not take them up till next session. , A prominent Senator says the Presi dent informed him if the tariffbill pass ed, the House in its present shape he would be compolled to veto it. The bill can pass intheSenateovorthevoto, but whether it can in the Honso is un known. ' i The Tribuno's special says in the meeting of the Reconstruction commit tee; Saturday; each- plan was debatod thoroughly 'Mr. Stevens advocated his plan, but it is' said ho did not re ceive much encouragement, ,Tbey ad journed to .meet on jfuesday. . It is doubtiul whether a majority will agrss upon any of the plans before thera. Tho New Orleans Riot committee will report against the bill for provis ionally governing Louisiana until it is admitted te representation in Congress and also an enabling act. The Tribune's' special says the monthly statement of the public debt won't make as favorahle an exhibit as preceding ones with regard to the con' traction of the f;ur millions. The Sec retary won't publish it this month ow ing to heavy demands on the Tress ary. . Washiroton, Feb. 4. Senat6r Wil son'iubmitted to the Senato to '-day communication frort'the Secretary' of War, transmitting from Geh.' Grant plan proposed' by Col. Parker,r of bis staff, .for ' establishing a permanent peace with' Iaditths.- It proposes, first, to transfer the1 management of Indian affairs from the War Department for many reasons, among which istne ne eessity of abolishing' the trading and agency system ; second, the establish ment ot territorial governments for In dians; third, the appointment of inspector's board as a temporary meas ure to examine the accounts of Indian agents and inspect goods and agricul tural iaapleme'nts furnished Indians ; fourth: a commission, consisting of whites and educated Indians, to,visit all ir'ibet, held talk with them, Show them the benefits ofpermanent peace and tiie abandonment of nomadio , life, the adopirdfi of agricultural pursuits and of conolida(?rg in one Territory. The Americaft Government protests it can never, adopt the policy of a total extermination of the Indian race with out the cost of antold treaaure'aad lives of her people, besides . exposing herself to the abhorrence and censare of the entire civilized world. , , . Affairs in Chili. The New York Herald's Santiago, Chili, correspondence of January 22d, says foreign mediation between the allied Republics and Spain has been definitely rejected, and a vigorous prosecution of the war has been deter mined Upon. Mediation cn the part of the United States was looked forward fob' amicably. ' It was believed a prop osition ' for an adjustment from that quarter would be accepted. ' The Chilian Government had re ceived reliable information' thatSpain was making every preparation for war, and would reinforce the naval di vision of RicV Janeiro. Yalpariso was rapidly becoming ' impregnable, and the allied fleet was boing made ready for an expedition. The finance question wsa beooming an embarrassing one, although specie remained plentiful. The Mendoza revolutiou had assum ed alarming proportions, and the rev olutionary army, it was thought, would succeed. In that case a general upris ing would probably take place, and the war of the triple alliance against Par aguay would be ingloriously ended.
