He will p,roceillat- , obce to appoint election., officers, and. he-has called an election for delegates to a State constitutional convention, at .which col. ored citizens will be allowed to vote the same as other people. There can be no doubt as to the result of any election 'Editor. f'airly 1 - Leld in Louisiana, under the prO visions of that law: It would be decided ly. Republican, and -it was a knowledge of this fact that caused the infamous massacre in New Orleans at the time that the Constitutional Convention ,at tempted to assemble under the.proclama tion of Governor Wells. As to the pro bability ofanother massacre we know noth ing. New Orleans is not the capital of Louisiana, and the Convention may, there fore, meet at Baton Rouge. But if it should assemble in New Orleans, General Sheridan, warne . dly the sad 'experience of the forther 'outrage,, would not be likely to suffer a repetition.. In that instance President Johnson interfered to protect the rebel assassins, bee . ause COngress had passed no law to prevent him. But now his interference in that way would furn ish the very best ground fcr impeach ment, which he seem ,, to be very anxious to avoid. He could not even keep the military idle, for his duty by the Consti tution is to execute the laws, and his re fusal to do that is a high crime of State. In Virginia the rebel Legislature seems to be disposed to take the initiative in the measures rendered necessary by the law in question, and the act for the purpose has already passed the Senate. It is not disguised that the object in view is _to get the control of the election machinery, and, so to be able to retain possession of the State. In this they will probably succeed in Virginia, where the rebel white population is largely in ex cess of all other elements. The best the Republicans can do in Virginia is to get possession of some Congressional districts and counties, and to rally a strong oppo sition in 'the Legislature. But that will be a great gain. The disfranchisement of rebels will not be sufficient to over come the rebel majority in Virginia. Hence the readine:rs of that State to re organize. Governor Pierpoint was a Republican during the war. but since its termination he has lost the confidence of the Republicans or the State, and is be lieved„,to bg virtually with the rebel Arany-irfrte lie will)be of no use to us in the straggle, as lie allows the enemy full swing. The greatest interest is felt as to who shall reconstruct South Carolina. That State has three-fifths of her population colored, and therefore she must be Re publican if the blacks vote. Here, as in Virginia, the dodge to be resorted to by the rebels will be the at:a core vote in preference to the ballot, as the former permits the regulators to tyrannize over the white vote completely, and is intend ed also to enable planters io compel their field hands to vote according to their choice, as the landlords in England Jo under the same system.—Phila. U. S. Gazette. The Issue With the President. The New York Tribune states the is sue in Reconstruction between the Presi dent and Congress to be on a question not of principle, but of fact, Is the actual condition of the States lately in arms against the, Union one of peace cr, war ? In order to arrive at the essential facts, it categorically questions, us witnesses on the side of Congress, Mr. Johnson's own agents in upholding loyalty and order at the South—Generals Thomas, Sickles and Sheridan. It cites the Memphis butchery: It cites the kindred New Or leans mas:-acre. It cites the concerted midnight assassination of three Uniu . n soldiers in South Carolina. It cites the fact that whereas black felons are easily arrested; --- 'eltivicted and punished throughout the South, no single rebel white has, since the hour of Lee's sur render, been duly punished by the local authorities fur the murder of a black. The number of blacks who have been killed, by, whites in, those States during the last twenty mouths c innot have fallen below five thousand. On the grave qucs tious here presented the;loyul•millions are at irreconcila.ble issue with:Mr. John- - The neeonstruetiontßill. The Raleigh (N. C.) Stemlard; Ex- Governor Holden's organ, in' noticing the passage of . the - Military Reconstruc tion bill, says: "We rejoice at this action by the Congress':> It has at leinith laid the foundation for a permanent settle ment of our difficulties on a loyal basis. It now remains for the people,of the Southern States to take their own affairs in their own hands, and adopt the neces: sary,measures to restore the State to her place in.•the Union.

Reconstruction'. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON., WAsuiNaroN,..3lar. 12, MR. EDITOR: Since I last wrote you, navy important events have transpired in this city. "close-of the 39th Congress, with.all its onerous labors = onerous, indeed, when we take count the daily gad evening sessions, and towards the close, sessions running far into the night, or lasting till the fol lowing day. The laws passed by the last Congress are among the most im portant upon the statute books. The Military Reconstruction- and- the - Bank=' rupt bills will be hailed by all right minded men. The military bill is the best attempt towards quieting the South that has been enacted vet. It is hoped the President will appoint 'Generals over the districts who,,cati be relied ,on;, it so,, we_ Shall soon hear no more of Union then—being either openly shot down or hid away in bloody graves. short time ago Lanbaster , county bad,to mourn Over the assassination of two estimable men, the Zook' brothers. One of them,' Noah Zook, whose-body has notyet been found, is well known to me. ,A more quiet, inoffensive man I was not acquaint ed with; but he was a northern loyalist, a crime sufficient to cause his death by rebels. May we hope these days of blood are numbered. The 40th Congress has auspiciously commenced its first sessi )n. That un compromising old loyalist, Ben Wade, has been _chosen President pro tempore of the Senate. A fitting compliment to a good maa. Should his Accidency, who now so unworthily occupies the chair once filled by Washington and Lincoln, be impeached and removed, none—of all the loyal men—could be found who would with greater assiduity apply himself to the duties 1:).f the Presi dency than the staunch old Senator from Ohio. Speaker Colfax once again fills the Chair in the House. Who ! may well be asked, is so fitted for the position as he ? You, Mr. Editor, have seen his ruling; Novi calmly he looks down upon the troubled elements below and around, and with the falling of the ,cavil and a few well directed words, order springs out of chaos, and members submit to the graceful sway of the presiding genius. When the seats of the House were de clared vacant, previous to a drawing for the coming Congress, the seats of Messrs. Stevens and Elihu Washburne were re served for these gentlemen. Mr. Ste vens' age and talents giving. him a proud distinction, and Mr. Washburne's ab sence on account of sickness, as well as his paternity, for he is called the Father of the House, being the oldest M. C., entitled hint to the kind consideration of his peers. Grouped around the ••Old Commoner" may be found the seats of Ben. Butler, Judge Kelley, Glenn W. Schofield, Shellabc rger, Wilson of lowa, and Farnsworth. Should the impeachment question take more definite shape, what an array of talent and loyal love will be found in this small assembly—men of experience, tried and true. This session will last for some weeks to come, till matters are so arranged that A. J., in the event of a mem, cannot disarrange' them. Of this there is no doubt. We had a most disastrous fire on Fri day evening, the Sth inst. The. Mer chants Hotel, south-west corner of Penn sylvania Avenue and Sixth street, was burned down, and the walls falling on an adjoining house kept as a restaurant, buried in ruins the back building, kill ing Mr. Emerich, the keeper of the restaurant, and four men who were help• ing Mr. E. to carry a piano from the house. Four or the victims were buried yesterday. On last Sunday evening the Congres sional Temperance Society held its third meeting iu the hall of the House of Rep resentatives. The rain prevented many front attending. S. J. Bowen, city post master, stated that out of the 93 clerks iu his employ, 83 had signed the tem perance pledge. This is cheering news, for iu this city there is an amount of dis sipation not perceptible to the superficial observer. Young men from the country holding clerkships; are liable to be led astray, drawn by unholy appetites into the vile dens which abound You have heard, no doubt. of the serenade given to Senator Cameron at Willard's Hotel, on the oveniw , of the 4th inst., by the Pennsylvanians in t is city and the visiting nu tubers of the Legislature from Harrisburg. There was excellent music and some good speaking. lam told the party kept it up till late in the night. Gen. Cameron looks hale and hearty "May his shadow never grow less," for he has ;:onte once again to this city to strengthen the hands and fire the hearts of Union men to stand by ,the flag we love so well. I could wish his words of comfort and his ever getic manner had been heard and seen by the 'loyal of the land.
