The substance of ths bill is, to Increase ths number of membership of th House to 980, beginning with the' forty -third Congress, This number Is arrived at by fixing upon 187,800 persons at the ratio, aad also by giving an additional' Repre1 aentutive to each State tlist has a fraction greater than one motety of the said ratio.

On receipt of the Intelligence of the te-nor of President Grant's message, gold, which was quoted at 800, immediately rose to 270, and a general panic was feared. For a time the wildest rumors were circulated as news, and it was generally felt that the United States was about sin-, burking fat another Mexican war. The expression of public feeling hat been so strong that the government hat decided unon calling totether the national assem bly and Baking them for an expression of opinion 10 the matter. So it seems that Senator ftumner't "dance of blood," about which he spoke so eloquently and feelingly in the Senate a few dayn ago, is about to be realized.

Mock elections, supported aii'l controlled by the sword, never prevailed to a greater extent there than hero. The Btateet-ov enimenta of the South lave been much more intolei able than was the Bntisli government of the colonies, against which our. fathers ao king retnotislrateI, and so nobly fouirht.

The rulers of the colonic were men of intelligence and character, em frooi the country: our rulers were ou.it from the North, and many, if not moat of them, like Sickles, Bullock, Head of jplorid! were wa-itiiif? in that charac ter which belongs to high-minded hnuor- aUe men. Abbott, Tourgee, Laflin, Estes, Mennin tun. MartUn, Proto4iul -Aahlex, and the long catalogue of carpet bag ail by a mock election, with sol dien at the polls, were forced and istened upon ua. By the help of God and the will of the people they have Ix-en con dawned and overthrown. These vultures, who have grown great in impudence am: meanness, have been made to take their talon out of ilia falleu body of aon-a- glorious old State.

The people have, in their might, shaken them off. Sow, the broken-winged buzzard' threaten the people with Congress and a third reconstruction. i We are use to it ao oome on; rest asiured you shall not enjoy yor Ill-gotten gain without full andf eotrtpfcte Wc promise you tha( tlit people will not submit quietly to suck mitragos ami abiiuos lieruattor as have beetl by the. two ordeiln through which they have been mado! p.

Here is what pjssed relative to the use of the ititary at State elec- Correspondent- When you speak (f army discipline and pirty discipline, I sup noaa-you hav.uo retronce to: the inter, ference of troops iu State elections, Tho Govertipr-Certaiiily not.

Vou wil observe that TiTTiry message I expressed the opinion that it was nut for the general to iiiterlcre" "in the Philadelphia elections. It m.iy be a small matter at tlrst, but providing the princi- pie is carried out, there is no knowing where it terminate. 1 cannot be iieve that there is any necessity for troop in carrying on our state elections, and if there were uie state snouia ue sine to attend toitsown interests. Our State is in no condition of Insurrection or rebellion, and there is no mason why -troops should he brought in to interfere with us. I called the attention of the legislature to the sub- Ject because I WmsMereil it ot the highest siapursamw ana mat, niiouni not ba passcij over ltgiiuyr it is ror me icgwia lore to decide, 1 think the principle of in terlerence is a bad one.

Suppose ano'lier party should be dominant two yeura from now. Huppose men now diniianchiseil, should giuuplaoesof power. Those who aw now advocating laterterence wouhl toe tin- first under euch a state of to oppose it. At the time of the last election I received tetegrafiuic dispatcher from all iris of tut Htate abeot It, and particularly trom Piiiladelphia. The people of this State will never consent 10 me inrencrvnce oi United (Hates troops in the matter of State elections.

I TJlia is more especially true of the western portion; The people of that section are more not-headed than the east-. tza people. Those Scotch-Insli people out there would say to troops even though they were on their side: "interfere with our election at your peril." 1 bave traveled great deaf through all parts of the country and nave endeavored oy observation to thorouirhlv post myself on this Question. I -think interference- by troops in State elections does not meet the wisher of the people, and therctore I spoke of the ubject in the message. The difficulties and dissensions in the State of Missouri are hidicattens of the opposition of the people to such interference.

It may be right to use military power in un-recon-etructed States, but not in Stites like Troops have been nsed during election Measona In the Sooth, for several years, but Oot, -Geary-considered it-well enough then. But so soon as it is carried to his own State it is not right, "there is no knowing where it may terminate." "Oh I consistency, tbon art a jewel." Hon. James Pike, the Republican candidate frsr Governor in New Hampshire, is briefly sketched by a Concord correspondent of the Rochester Demwnd as follows "Ho was Colonel of the 16th' New Hampshire Volunteers, and made a good war record; he la a strong, adveeUe of tern peranca, without being a prohibitiouint fie is anew man in politics, except that he was in Congress years ago he has no con section with railroads, and be is a Methodist minister." Would tt be possible, the writer asks, to combine more clement of trength in one caudidato Certainly not. To have "no connection with railroads, and be a Methodist niinia-tr" a sufficient recommendation for any position republicans cau aspire to. But tt it a little remarkable that many of the niost prominent acoundrel, who belong to the radial party, are either praying politicians or canting preachers.

General J. a West was elected C. 8. Senator for Louisiana, on the first ballot, hy a large majority. There is great rejoicing among Gov.

Wanumith's friends over this signal victory over the extrpnie radicals. Gen. W. ia republican, hut was elected by a collusion of democrats Vila th letter class of repubUcani, over her rabjugated country and its desolates homes. Brit Misa my soul you are wrong'; not ia your honest love fcr eur fatherland, not in your sorrow for ita ruin but in teaching yeaag awn atul women, who will devour your pages, lit unprofitable "lesson of All Is not lost nor mem "all save honor." Hops still remains, alter all othff Maeshige have flown and for Heaven's sake art keep the box safely, lest she too scape.

Then, first courage and patieoca. anil after them all other blessings will re turn. The spirit of the Cavaliers af Ensf laud has clung to the blood of Iheff descendants for two hundred years, and will continue to do so for indefinite hundreds mare. That spirit built up amoug our Sisithern forests, a. fabric of society, the purest, freest and noblest the world ever saw.

That fabric has been overthrown by unhallowed violence; but the spirit which' txiilt 1t is immortal, and but by being amiihilated, die." 4 The soul of a people juirvivca everything hut ex termination. The South is destined lo a long and glorious life, accompanied in the future, as it has been in the past, by the graces which adorn and the virtues which enoble existence. Our ruined cities and devastated homes will be rebuilt mutual good will, it is to be hoped, will again unite mon strongly than fores" or law possibly can, the late hostile sections of a common coun try; the Nprrh will reward its heroei with wreaths and honors, while the earliest vio lets of spring and the latest rosea of au tumn, the offering of impoverished hand but of grateful hearts, chilli wntinne to blossom on the graves of those who died lis1 us all this may be and should be with out intolerance or rancor. But of all the structures which we may hopofor in the fu ture, there will be none nobler than that Temple ot Literature and Art to which Miiis Keid has contributed one of the most finished On ourerittcal conscience we cominond her book as among ths best of American i JtECOX.ITRVCTlOX. It is said by soma, and feared by a few, that President Grant will send a message to Congress, urging further reconstruction of North Carolina.

It will not be Grant, but Pool, Abbott, Holden, Pearson, Dick and Settle, who have lost, or fear losing their places. The President knows 'but little of North Carolina, except what he hears and receives through such channels. We learn that these gentlemen imposed upon the President by recommending the infamous Sinclair and Windy Billy Hen demon, as proper persons to represent the United States government in North Carolina, aa Revenue Assessors. One would haidly suppose then, that after having been deceived once by such ntry, itiiey could have much influence with the Pre sident ufterwarils. But we hare no fears of le'onstmction.

Qranf niuy ruconstruct again, and have another three days election, but be can never reinstate Holden, Deweese, Litllefield, Jay Bird Jones and Greasy Sain. The negroes are tired of tlmn. At Prospect Hill, in Caswell, where, the negroes voted one hundred strong, they refused almost 'entirely, to vote lo the late special election, and those who did, voted for the conservative ticket. Governor Holden's friends nay that Pool urged him to his late desperate acts of oppression upon the people of Alamance and Caswell, and alter had opened his campaign, deserted him. Pool and Ablwtt are Aghtiiig men, provided always, that some one else will do the fighting.

Therefore, we suggest, that If Grant does reconstruct, he shall put Holden. Pool, Abbott, and Capt. Settle in the front ranks of his troops. Then his cause will receive full justice at the hands of the people. I i ELECTION IN WILMINQ TOX Out friends in Wilmington are not al totti-ther agreeijf-as to the true cause of their Ciilure in-the late Fraudu lent toting, on the part of Radicals, we have no doubt was the grand cause of defeat We presume the Journal and wcre too.

None such should ever be called Conservatives ot Democrats. They should be handed over to Oantwell, French and Howe, Ws cannot see how Conservatives can vote the Radical ticket, and retain the confidence and respect uf those whom they thus betray and outrage. We have Jreccived many' letters from Greensboro' furnishing the names of certain Conservatives for publication, who voted for Major Smith in the late election.

We have not aeon prop er to do so, because it would be ing with private rights. Major Suiith, we has been liberal is givang -srse passes over Its Toad. a Conservattvss think proper to exchange tliet right of suffrage for a free ride on the Railroad, let thorn do so. As Greeley said about seces sion, "it is a right they have, and they should be allowed lo euyy it ia peace." But something must be wrong some where in Wilmington, We' hope' oar friends will be able to enlighten us OB the fNCON SIKH T. To eonsrieBtious members of the Legis lature there is Very inconvenient clause in which calls for abro gation or amendment.

ArtM Fifth, faction Fourth, of the Constitution reads "The General Assem bly shall by' appropriate legislation, and by adequate taxation? provide for the prompt and regular of tips interest os the public delit," This cUusa was Inserted by the eon-uuerers, sword in band. It It very inconvenient for members to swear they will levy the tax to pay the debt, and then not do so. If wa wen a member we should go fbrs Convention or If 7 the tax, not a sensational novel; we are not at tempted to-be familiarized with rice and crime there ia not a sentiment indicated which could sully the tpotleas purity of a Southern maiden. It is rather a novel of character a eort of work, by the by, of a much higher order, and rtHjuiruig anarer ibiliiy Hum that which depends tor its in terest altogether oua complicated plot and extravagant incidents. The characters are extremely well drawn and nicely discrimi uuti from each other.

This II not' done fy description the author does not write tinder one, "this ia a and under another, "this-is good girl but the traits are gradually brought out by the conduct and '-conversation ot the parties7fottrmg more severely tries the artistic tulent of the tale-writer and dra matist than dialogue, es)ecially that of polite and cultivated society.

With them every fool is as witty as a professed wit very conversation" an" explosion of intellectual (reworks, and the most willing credulity cannot yield itself to a belief in the reality of the scene. Wc caniiot for a moment delude ourselves into imagining that such a brilliant display of meteors coruscating to and. fro, dazzling titid lillmuinutmg only to confuse, ean be tltii atmosphere of conimoij life.

Of those who fail from the opposite defect, of excessive dullness, 'their Mine is legion. Iu tliis p.irt of her work Miss lieid (for a Miss we may guess her to be) displays a felicity of thought and language, which is as rare as it is charming. She has continued to hit the tone slightly idealizing it, as an artist should, do of the elegant society in which her persons move. We have one censure for Miss Raid for we should at once show that we are not a genuine critic if wedealt in commendation alone the true critic niuai at least snarl, if he cannot bite. It ia a fault common to her, and to most, not to all lady novelists.

No man can paint so well as a woman he manners and thoughts of woman. But women cm not describe a woman's pcraon- il beauty they go into a catalogue of her separate charms until they at last produce a faoe with inconsistent and anomohMis features, so that If we believe it beantifiit, it is because we are willing take the assertion that it ia so, without being ilile to understand how it is. Dear Indies I forbear to gild refined gold, and to paint the lily. How doe tlm male artist de- serilie his Helen I lit tells us she is beau tiful, and stops his description; he shows us the effects of her charms th young men are maddened, and Uii o)d are awed and we believe hiin. If the poet will paint the charms of his heroine, let him use words as brilliant and as undefined as the light of the Aurora, or as obsctira as tlm shadows of the gloaming 'among' the mountains then will she lie like the spectral girt -whom Faust saw at the witches feast in the Brock en "every man sees in her his first love." Penfcit its to illustrate our critical doc trine from Miss Reid.

She describes Miss Ay liner as of such beauty that no; man could behold and Dot he enslaved. Un happily she-adds, "she had Grecian nose, which nevertheless was not ia a straight line with the forehead." Now to pass over tho anomaly of a Grecian nose which was not In a straight line with the fore head, which we thought was the peculiarity of the Grecian nose Miss Reid ought to remember that Grecian noses hare gone out of fashion since the time of the Pelaagc though Phidiaa did attempt to re-introduce them by 'his statue of Jupiter in the Acropolis, it was without success. (See Types of Forour-part we have never seen a Grecian nose on any living countenance, and we do not believe it would be pretty; if we see it. It so happens that our first love had pug, and we have-continued to adore pug through the mista of many years. Soa, Miss Reid, what you have, lost by your over particularity.

1 cannot believe that Miss Ayliner was so fusc'nnting a you say she ftas and there are thousands of your readers, who for reason liko mine, cannot see any beauty in a nose that is not pug. Wc hare omitted as yet, to notice the mwt remarkable merit of this book ita originality. Most American novels of so ciety are but pale copies of copies more or less truthful of English society as portray ed "jj English books, They might be written for aught any could tell, by En glish men as well as by Americana, and the eenim (to use lawyer's term) might as probably be laid in Liverpool aa in Boston. It would bo inartistic as well as untruthful, to describe the Ilulyoke mountains from Church's picture of "The Heart of the Andes." Mm R-id' book is full of local coloring thoroughly true to nature, It could have been written )iy no one but' Southern "faflf. Ttietf Unf'.

copied from Southern life, truthfully r4 fleeted in the sympathies of every Southern heart. Miss Reid's book contains no "fine writing," but it does contain a great deal of fieling and eloquent description and dijclauiatlon. Wish at our1 command would permit ua to make extracts to justify our opinions on this point. In lien of that, we most content ourmlve with referring to the description of f)arcys picture, "Missing," at page 7. None but an artist of high imaginative powar could.
