Reconstruction,
"Mack," tho Washington correspon?
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial, has,
with considerable enterprise, furnished his
paper with the following document. It
is an excellent burlesque, lie introduces
it in this fashion:
^ TttB REPORT OF THE SPECIAL CpMMITTEE.
The Special Radical Committee on Re?
construction intend, it is said, to visit tho
Southern States, to investigate their con?
dition, and report whether they are fit for
admission into full communion in the sis?
terhood of Union. As most of the gen?
tlemen composing tho committee have al?
ready made up their minds on the subject,
I don't see the use of tho contemplated
tour; especially as their report has been
agreed upon. As tho document will be
looked for with considerable interest, I
have procured a copy of it, for the publi?
cation of which I trust I will not be ac?
cused of a breach of good faith. Here it
isr
Washington, January, 18GG.?To tire
Honorable Senate and House of Repre?
sentatives : Your Committee, appointed
to visit tho States lately in rebellion, and
to investigate and report upon the condi?
tion of loyalty and fitness for rcadmission
into the Union, have pprfermod the duty
assigned to them, and beg leave to make
the following report:
?Naturally, tho first place visited by
your committee, was Richmond, Virginia,
tho capital of the late Confederacy. Our
coming had been heralded in the newspa?
pers there, and the demonstration at the
railroad depot on our arrival may be
taken as, in some degree, indicative of
the popular sentiment in that city. Wo
found a large concourse of citizens of
African descent awaiting us, and, as we
disembarked from the cars, they hailed
us with shouts of welcome, mingled with
" This way to tho Spotswood House,"
"Here's yer buss for the Continel,"
" Here's your cab for any part of the city,"
"Baggage to the hotel gents," &c. It
was grateful to the heart of loyal men to
be thus welcomed in a city so lately the
headquarters of rebellion, while at the
same time we began to feel convinced al?
ready that the only truly loyal people of
the Seuth were of the colored race. We
could not decline the hospitalities so gen?
erously tendered us, and accordingly wo
selected two carriages from tho large
number placed at our disposal. Wo wcro
driven to the Spotswood by our hospita?
ble friends, who charged us two dollars a
piece and half a dollar extra for baggage.
After so much kindness from tho colored
race, wo wore iinpropared for tho harsh
treatment we subsequently received from
white oligarchs of Richmond. The pro?
prietors of tho Spotswood gave us rooms
in the fifth story, back, saying to his
clork, as we have been" informed by a
faithful African "who blaeked our boots
for a quarter a pair, that they were good
enough for Yankeo Radicals. The same
spirit of disloyal hate was manifested to
us in the dinning-room, whore, in re
sponse to our repeated call for codfish and
pumpkin pie, we were served with noth?
ing but bacon and hot cakes. Wo asked
why this was done, and were told by a
loyal waiter, to whom wo had just given
a postal half dollar, that Mr. Spotswood
said he didn't keep a hotel for tho accom?
modation of Yankees, and, therefore, per?
sistently excluded codfish and pumpkin
pies from the bill of fare. Your commit?
tee do not deem it necessary to dwell upon
this evidence oi smouldering disloyalty,
nor to compare it with tho hastily formed
opinion of Gen. Grant respecting Southern
sentiment. Our object was to get beneath
the surface of things in the South, to find
the true character of the substratum. Wo
remained in Richmond a few days, to
study the character of the peoplo. On all
hands we found evidence of distinctions on
account of color, oxcopt in a frocdman's
colony, where the blacks received the
whites on an equal footing with thorn
selves. We also noticed a disloyal dispo?
sition to speak of Stonewall Jackson and
General Leo in terms of praise and com?
mendation, while General Butler's name
was only mentioned in contemptuous con?
nection with ?ilver spoons, and occasion?
ally a little plated ware, and he himself
seemed to be better known as the Bottle
Imp of Bermuda Hundred, than in any
<? other way.
Our next visit was to Atlanta, Georgia.
Here we had a long consultation with a
Treasury agent, who had ample means of
information on the subject of Georgia
loyalty. He gavo his opinion that to ad?
mit the Southern States jo representation
at this time would bo highly injudicious.
He did sot believe there was a whito na?
tive of the State loyal enough to take his
place, and asserted that to remove him
and others similarly situated would bo
not only dangerous to the welfare of the
country, but would be also the height of
ingratitude to mon who had riskod char, j
aoter and reputation for the patriotic'
cause of cotton and ten or twelve thou?
sand dollars a year. Your Committee
concurred entirely in his opinion.
While in Atlanta your committee hoard
many expressions of sentiment which go
to show how far General Grant is mis?
taken in what ho says in his late report.
On one occasion especially wo heard
-what convinced us that the lava of seces?
sion still burned in the Southern bosom.
The case was that of a young gentleman
from Massachusetts, of poor but honest
parents, who had como to tho South in
Lho capacity of a froedmav's school-teach?
er. He had Casually made the acquain?
tance of a Southern lady of two score and
ten, whose husband had fallen under the
rebel flag, leaving her a widow of some
estate. The young gentleman, desirous
of matrimony and plantations, pressed
his suit, and was progressing, as ho
thought, most favorably, wjien. one eve?
ning the widow told him at a tea-party,
in the presence of a large number of peo?
ple, " that she'd rather be buried alive
than marry a Yankee." The patriot
school-teacher no longer plies tho rod of
chastisement over refractory freed men.
The star of his hope has gone down, and
he has gono back to Boston; a wreck of
his former 6elf.
Your committco next went to Mont?
gomery, Alabama, where, as at Rich
mend, the colored citizens flocked to meet
us, and vied with each other for tho car?
rying of our baggage. "We paid them
fifty conts a carpet-sack from the depot,
and they were enthusiastic in their dem?
onstrations of loyalty, in receiving the
currency from us. In this city evidences
of disloyalty met us on every hand. A
Vermont missionary had been insulted a
few days before.our arrival' for attempt?
ing to introduce "John Brown's Body,"
and " We'll Hang Jeff. Davis on a Sour
! apple Tree," as Sabbath-school hymns. A
hop had just taken place at tho leading
hotel, to which whites only were invited,
and to which the frecdmcn wero excluded
on account gof color. Tho consequence
was an indignation meeting of the frecd
men, at which equal rights wcro demand?
ed. A repetition of balls and hops, ex?
clusively white in their character, will
lead to Jamaica insurrections and Ilay
ticn rebellions, magnified a thousand
times in their dreadful results. At Mont?
gomery, as at Atlanta, wo mot a Treasury
Agent, who was opposed to immediate
reunion, and warmly in favor of a terri?
torial condition of the Southern States,
llo mentioned incidentally that he had a
son-in-law in Xew Hampshire who would
make an excellent Provisional Governor,
and a cousin who would do for a territo?
rial dclcgato to Congress. Above all
things, ho hoped Congross would not
listen to the hypocritical cries of Alabama
loyalty. He assured us that there was
no loyaity in tho State, except in his
office, and said it would bo baso injustice
to supercede him till he had finished the
making of a .hundred thousand dollars.
We next proceeded to Charleston, South
Carolina. Here we had a long interview
with a Northern gentleman whom wo
knew to ho in ?every way reliable. Ho
had responded to his country's call, in tho
early days of the war, with a sutler wag?
on full of Yankee notions, and had been
unvarying in his devotion to tho cause
ever since, except at intervals when G*en.
Grant had ordered sutlers to tho rear.
Since tho cessation of armed hostility he
had been down South to sco what could
be'dono in tho way of buying Southern
lands. Ho had found the people of South
Carolina so rebellious at heart as to re?
fuse to soli their plantations for twenty
cents an aero in Federal currency. He
convinced us that an armed force ought j
to be kept in Charleston for many years
j to come, and that he ought toboappoint
od sutler, as ho had had much experience
in tho business. Ho found in this hot?
bed of secession and cradlo of rebellion
a decided preference for gray over blue,
which oxlcndcd itself evon to the ladies'
petticoats, many of which your Commit
teo carefully examined. It is proper to
state that the articles thus scrutinized
were hanging on a lino to dry, and had
no ladies in them.
Your committco next visitod*Savannah,
, where they found disloyalty manifesting
itself unmistakably on all sides. Wc
met an agent of tho Freedmcn's Bureau,
who gave it as his opinion that the war
was only half over, and that unless tho
powers of the Bureau wero enlarged so
as to give him control of all tho cotton
exported from Savannah, tho glorious
emblem of our national liberty would not
float unmolested very long. He had not
been invited to a single tea-party, though
ho had lived in Savannah for a year,
while returned Confederates wore eordi
| ally grcotcd by brothers, sisters, mothers
and sweethearts. He himself had been
on intimate terms with a young lady who
represented many thousand bales of cot?
ton, but of late a one-armed rebel had
come homo, and he of the F. B. had been
discarded in favor of him who had raised
his parricidal hand against the old flag.
Hcr's was preferment for services render?
ed to tho rebel causo, and there are many
such cases which your committee regret
to find Gen. Grant has omitted entirely.
Your committee do not deem it ncces
saiy to g? into further particulars to
show that the spirit wliich animated the
rebellion still exists in tho South, and
'that tho time has not yet come for the
readraission of tho Southern States to tho
Union. THADDEUS & CO.
-.-o
A"Ctergyman writing from Texas to tho
Postoffico Department concerning a con
traot for carrying mails, says he contrib?
uted in no way to the Confederate causo,
oxcopt to pray for its success, and is in
doubt whether, on that account, he ean
conscientiously take the test oath) "but,"
he adds, "as my prayers were not an?
swered, I think they should not be con?
sidered as 'aid and comfort' given to tho
enemy."
One Year Ago.
What stars have faded from our sky 1
What hopes unfolded but to die!
What dreams so fondly pondered o'crr
Forever lost the hues they wore!
How like a death knell, sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul "one year ago !"
Where is the face wc loved to greet,
The form that graced the fireside scat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our pathway day by day ?
Where fled those accents soft and low,
That thrilled our hearts "one year ago
Ah ! vacant is the fireside chair,
The smile that won no longer there ;
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of the voice is gone,
And we who linger only know
How much was lost "one year ago."
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and night!
Serene she sleeps, nor heeds the tread
Of footsteps o'er her lovely head!
Her pulseless breast no more may know
The pangs of life l,one year ago."
But why repine ? A few more years,
A few more broken sighs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps hove^Rcry
To that far world rejoicing go
To which she passed "one year ago."
-*
Lost in the Dark.
Come back ! come back! for the light went out
When your eyes looked away from my own !
Grieved and weary, I wundercd about
In the cold and dark alone !
Trying to find my way to your side?
Come, darling, and take my hand!
Once I drew it away in my pride
From the tcudercst one in the land !
Comeback! comeback! with the Spring's swoet
prime
With the birds from over the sea!
For I turn my face from the golden tirno,
And my ear from its minstrelsy !
For my passionate soul cries out fo^ the day
When your henrt fell away from mine?
Cries out for the cup that was pushed way,
Spilling its costly wino !
Come ! and your kiss stall kindle again
The passion-bloom on my check!
Come ! and read in my eyes the j>aiu
That my lips arc too proud to speak!
Come! for I lie in the cold without,
Stabbed with agony wild,
All for you?and my heart cries out
Like a poor little motherless child

Romance in Real Life.?Col. S. S.
Goodo, who formerly resided in Decatur,
was mado Colonel of tho 21st Illinois In?
fantry at Mattoon, and was subsequently
dropped by Governor Yates, to give place
to Colonel (now Lieutenant -General)
Grant. Wo find in the Decatur (111.,)
Tribune quito a romantico story about
him:
" It seems that after undergoing many
strango and startling vicissitudes of lifo,
and buffctting tho dark waves of adver?
sity and misfortune, he has at length bo
come a wealthy and useful gentloman.?
By the death of his cousin, Sir Jasper
Goodo, who died at York, England, he
has fallen heir to estatos, tho rental of
which amounts annually to ,?3,000 ster?
ling, and also succeeds to the title by in?
heritance.
" Tho incidents and adventures through
which this singular individual?now Sir
Samuel S. Goode?has passed, would fill
a large yellow covered volume. At the
age of nineteen ho was a midshipman in
in tho Texan navy?then engaged in the
war of independence with Mexico?and
was promoted to lieutenant in three
months, for cutting a Mexican bungo
under the guns of the citadel of Vera
Cruz.
"In the war between the United States
and Mexico that immediately followed,
ho volunteered in the American army as
a private, but by his gallantry soon won
for himself a captain's commission. In
tho disastrous filibustering of Lopez he
commanded a company?was taken ' a
prisoner at Cardenas, and escaped the
garroto by tho daughter of a Spanish
officer, who becamo enamored of him,
opening tho prison doors.
" Undeterred, however, by his narrow
escape, ho next embarked in Walker's
first expedition; from this also managed
to escape, after passing through untold
perils and sufferings. As all our readers
are already aware, ho raised a company
in this city when the guns from Sttmtcr
reverberated through tho loyal North,
went to Mattoon, and was elected Colonel
by his regiment, the Twenty-first.
" By some moans, however, he was de?
prived of his command, and Gen. U. S.
Grant, then a plain citizen, was appointed
in his stead. Weary and despondent,
.through his disappointment, he neglected
his profession?the law?and by some
chance drifted into Carlinvilic, in this
State, where at the time he received his
fortune, he was keeping a bar in a drink?
ing saloon, lie passed through this city
en routo for Now York, there to take a
steamer for England, honor and fortuno."
Tho majestic river that flows at thebase
of tho once blood-stained height on which
Fort Pillow stood, is slowly removing the
very soil whereon victors and vanquished
mot horrible deaths. Stanton's monument
might as well adorn one as another of the
headlands of the Mississippi. Half of Fort
Pillow has already disappeared. General
Pillow's works at Randolph, onco deemed
memorials of stragetic skill, have gone
down the tide of rushing waters, if not to
oblivion. itA-ind 10 no longer lifts its
frowning front au?-0 the wators of tho
Mississippi. There is u?* a v<istigo of!
earthworks whence cannon belchCd^t^^!
and smoke, as if vapor of gunpowder, or
local enmities, could dam up* the rnigLty
river.
A
Tho Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, of the 12th inst., makes
tho following statement:
On Wednesday evening, between eight
and nine o'clock, a man of unusually largo
proportions called at tho residence of Hon.
Benjamin P. Wade, United States Sena?
tor of Ohio, on Four-and-a-half street, and
asked to see the Senator. He was shown
up stairs by the servant to Mr. Wade's
room. After being seated, he stated that
he was trying to obtain employment in
the United States navy, and asked Mr.
Wade to sign a paper of recommendation
from him in order to further his object.
Senator Wade refused to do so, saying he
did not know him, and advised him to
procure the signature ot some person to
whom he was known. After listening to
tho reply, the strange visitor, whose
physiognomy Mr. Wado described as sin?
gularly malicious and brutal, looked at
the Senator with a significant scowl, which
tho latter plainly interpreted as meaning
mischief. At this juncture of the inter?
view Mr. Wade arose, and stepping into
an adjoining room, armed himself with a
loaded pistol, and quietly returned again
into the room where the man was Hitting.
After looking at each ether in silence,
the man began the conversation by say?
ing, " Aint you going to sign my paper?"
To which the Senator returned a decided
negative, alleging that he had no knowl?
edge of him. Matters now began to reach
a crisis. The stranger rose to his feet,
drawing out a bowie-knife about twelve
inches long, and remarking : " I suppose
3'ou know wc are alone, sir, in this room,"
ho was proceeding to unsbentli his weapon,
when Mr. Wade sprang to his feet, and
drawing forth his pistol, placed it within
a short space of his head, telling him to
clear out immediately or hn would shoot
him. Taken somewhat by surprise, the
man began to find his way to tho door,
followed closely by Senator Wade, with
his pistol still in close proximity to his
head. The Senator saw his visitor down
stairs, and before reaching the door, ho
quietly informed him that he had a great
notion to shoot him anyhow. Upon this
the stranger departed. During the visit
he failed to produce any papers for signa?
ture, and evidently made this a mero pre?
text for the intcrviow. At tho time of
tho visit thero were no persons in the
house beside Senator Wade, excepting
Mr. Matthews and his wife and servant.
Wit.?The habit of mind, however,
which wit cherishes, is obviously, not de?
sirable. Wit turns on secondary and
trifling relations, not on fundamental
agreements. The more philosophical our
habits of observation, the more carefully
and constantly we note important resem?
blances, the less shall we mark or treas?
ure the trivial connections of wit. The
movement of mind from which wit
springs is opposed both to thorough and
serious reflection, and ought not there?
fore to become habitual.
Nor is wit desirable as a constant ac?
companiment of composition or of con?
versation. The train of thought is too
much diverted and interrupted by it.
Take for instance, the habit of punning.
The pun demands a separate considera?
tion of mere verbal relations. The
thread of discourse is for the instant bro?
ken, and tho mind requires time to rally
and reunite it. Let diversionpf this sort
recur several times, and the interest and
attentions due to the cardinal point aro
lost, and tho main topic if abandoned
amid the percussion ot small wit. Un?
doubtedly even the most serious discourse
can. in the hands of a master, suffer occa?
sional humor without detriment; but
more frequently laughter is secured at
the cost of conviction.
Another undesirable result of wit, when
constantly employed, is the insatiable de?
mand to which it gives rise. Men love
to laugh better than to think; and the
moment they find one who can indulge
them in this respect they require a con?
stant exhibition of his power, and trans?
form him, as far as possiblo, into a pub?
lic buffoon. Great earnestness and
strength of purpose aro required to resist
this tendency. The power is rare and ex?
ceedingly attractive, and flattering in the
immediate popularity it confers. One
who possesses it is strongly tempted on
all occasions to indulge it. more and more
to rely upon it, and thus ultimately be?
comes a cracker of jokes.
-?
A Sad Ruin.?A relic of the past is seen
in a man, bearing upon his face and body
the impress of many years. The man
walks thestreets daily, bearing tic marks
of misfortune, amid the friends he had
known in better years, but with appear?
ance so changed one can hardly recog?
nize in him tho Mcrcutio of the Crescent
City, the gay, witty and elegant gentlc
mau who was at onetime the very leader
of fashion. Seed}' habiliments, a bent
body and wrinkled face, have noarly ob?
literated all in him that was so familiar
in tho past. Inheriting'a great fortune,
he increased it largely by marriage, and
from his profession at tho bar had an in.
come of forty or fifty thousand dollars a
year, and received a singlo fee of sixty
thousand dollars upon a claim on real es?
tate in the lower part of the city. This
wealth he scattered with princely genor
osity and royal profusion. lie was a Lu
cullus at home, and his hospitalities as
~T,-~*i_to all the magnificence ot the
ancionT^^a '-'"'--an In 1837 ho
gt?To a ainglo soTttM^tbat cobu . .
which exceeded in splendor anything ever
before known here. The very floors over
winch tho dancers moved were covered
with scenic paintings, tho work of the
most accomplished artist then in New
Orleans; and in tho saloon, where gam?
ing tables wero arranged, stood two
baskets?one filled with bank notes and
the other with gold, for tho use of. those
guests who were unfortunate with the
fickle goddess. Tho dispenser of this
gorgeous hospitality is now dependent
upon his relatives. lie takes his loss with
Christian resianation, and does not fly
from the world and rail against it, like
Timon of Athens, but moves through the
world with a pleasant and urbane man?
ner, ag if he had still the prieely fortune
at command. Such cases as this are com?
mon since the war.?A7. 0. Crescent.
---o
The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent, under dato of tho 12th
inst., states that:
" Mr. Eaymond stole a march upon the
President's enemies to-day very neatly.
He sent in a resolution calling upon the
President for all information tending to
throw light on tho political condition of
tho States lately in rebellion, such as
proclamations from Provisional Govern?
ors, election returns, reports of Govern?
ment agents, and tho like. The House at
first refused to receive this by operating
in technicalities, but subsequently agreed
to it, when offered by Mr? Davis, of tho
Onondaga District of New York, to whom
Mr. Raymond turned it over for presenta?
tion. Tlio effect intended by Eaymond
is the frustration of a scheme the Radi?
cals have for sending a sub-reconstruction
committee down South to make a report
to suit them. The President is in pos?
session of all the unbiassed testimony
needed in this matter; but tho Eadieals,
bent on throwing every obstacle in the
way of reconstruction, refuse to receive it
as reliable, backed as it is by newspaper
reports and the tales of commercial trav?
elers in the conquered land. Mr. Ray?
mond's resolution gives the President a
chance to produce information which will
prove exhaustive of tho subject. It af?
terwards the Eadieals are shamefaced
enough to insist on a special spy commit?
tee, the country will readily observe that
tho Reconstruction Committee is really
bent on obstruction."
-:-o-:
Cause of Sudden Death.?Very few of
the sudden deaths which aro said to arise
from diseases of tho heart, do really arise
from that can so. To ascertain the real
origin of sudden deaths, the oxperiment
has been tried in Europe, and reported to
a scientific congress held at Strasbourg.
Sixty-six cases of sudden death were made
the subject of a thorough post mortem ex?
amination; in these cases only two were
found who had died from disease of rhe
heart. Nine out of sixty-six had died
from apoplexy, while there were forty
six cases of congestion of (he lungs?that
is, the lungs were so full of blood they
could not work, there not being room
enough for a sufficient quantity of air to
enter to support life. The causes that
produce congestion of the lungs arc?cold
feet, tight clothing,costive bowels,sitting
still until chilled after being warmed with
labor or a rapid .walk, going too suddenly
from a close, heated room into the cold
air, especially after .^peaking, and sudden
depressing news operating on the bloud.
These causes of sudden death being
known, an avoidance of them may serve
to lengthen many valuable lives, which
would otherwise be lost under the verdict
of heart complaint. That disease is sup?
posed to be inevitable and incurable;
hence, many may not take the pains they
would to avoid sudden death, if thoyknew
it lay in their power.
Washington, January 15.?Tho Secre?
tary of the Treasury this morning in?
structed the United States cotton agent
to make no more sales of captured cot?
ton. The Secretary thinks that delay at
present will bo advantageous to the gov?
ernment in bringing into the treasury
