pulg $uiuukc lountal. AUGUSTA, Wednesday Morning. Jan nary 5, 18*0. MEETISQ OF THE LEOt&EA TV RE. The annual meeting «f the Legislature rtt the State House tew)ay is not attended with any unusual interest. The matters which XV ill chiefly occupy its attention have not an,used special notice, or drawn out any strong antagonism, as they have iron, tunc to time been mentioned in the columns of the press. Appearances indi cate an harmonious session, devoted close ly to State interests, which are increasing in importance and demanding more and more the time of our legislators. The election of a United States Senator to till the unexpired term of Air. Fessen den, will be one of the first important acts of the Legislature. Fortunately there is no division among republicans in regard to the person to fill this place, and Hon. Ixit M. Aforrill will be ifiected without op position. The consolidation of the railroad inter ests of (lie State will he presented, and will be a leading subject for consideration nnd settlement, involving several other important questions. There is no doubt Hud travel and transportation of freight would be better accommodated under the proposed consolidation, than at present, the management of the roads improved, the expense lessened, the railroad system of the State more symmetrically developed, and the Legislature relieved of many an noyances with which it has been troubled in times past, but some fears arc expressed that the power created by the union of these railroad interests may be used to over shadow and control other important interests to the disadvantage of the people ami the State. It is probable that those who favor consolidation will be able to sat isfy the Legislature that they have no grasping policy in view, and will lx; will ing to take such terms as will insure the general safety, and dispel the fears of a “monopoly.” There will be new railroads seeking charters in various parts of the State, particularly in the cast, so that al together railroads will be the most en grossing topic of tlx; session. It is surpris ing to see how projects for new railroads start up, and how, when once started, they are carried forward against all obstacles to completion. According to appearances Maine will soon be traversed by a railroad system that will be felt for good in every town in her borders. lhi! improvement ot our common schools will again be pressed upon the at tention of the Legislature. 1 tiding the last year there has been an awakening in ail parts of the State to the subject of ed ucation, through the agency of county supervisorships and county institutes es tablished last winter. The Superintendent of Schools can fairly claim success for his measures so far adopted, and in conse quence will ask with more confidence and a better right to favorable consideration the farther adoption of his plans. There is no money the people pay more willingly than that which is expended upon their public schools, or for which they receive so large a return, and whatever may be re quired to render them more efficient will be cheerfully given. The liberal and vigorous policy which other States are pur suing towards their schools is compelling us to do likewise lest we lose all our best teachers, and our schools fail below the common rank. We cannot afford to allow this great interest to lie neglected. Super intendent Johnson has fully developed his plan and discussed it freely. We do not understand that he will urge the adoption of the w hole at this session, only such part as seems to be most indispensable and necessary. there are other matters tit importance that will be before the Legislature, sutli cient to keep it occupied the usual time, and test its good sense and ability. The l'ricuds of temperance may ask for legisla tion, but there is no well defined move ment in that direction. The encourage ment of manufactures is a subject to which attention will be called, and towards which the report upon the water power of the State will give additional stimulus, if the valuable power which is running to waste through our rivers were well employed in driving factories it would add immensely to the w ealth of the State. The State val uation and the districting of the State anew, will require attention, also savings banks and insurance companies. The present Legislature has amongst its members many of marked ability, and will doubtless make an honorable record when compared with other legislative bodies. Of speaking talent there is sufficient of the best quality for any and every purpose, and in legal talent and learning, as well as in sound common sense—which is one of the best qualifications for a legislator— there is no Jack. Everything promises a pleasant and profitable session. The New Turk Tribune says western members are greatly exercised over the proposed apportionment under the Census bill. Several of tiuqn arc now busily en gaged in the preparation of speeches showing the great Inequality between the Eastern and Western States in respect to the number of voters and the Representa tives they have. The discussion over Mr. Judd's bill will begin soon after the re-as sembling, and a large number are already on the Speaker’s slate to speak for and ugaiu-t the bill. Mr. Hale ol Maine heads f lic list, and will make his maiden effort in opposition to increasing the number of Representatives, or making the apjiortiuii juent ill advance of the completion of the Census. The Secretary of the Treasury w ill not •|>|x>iul an Assistant Secretary in the place of Judge Richard so 11 at present. There are several aspirants'for the position. LEGISLA TIVE OAVCUS.

HONES T RECONS TR UCT1 OS'. IVe have au example in the case of Georgia showing how a dishonest attempt to get back into the Union operates. That State is now returned to her former con dition, and will be kept waiting until she 1 ean mend her ways and come into the Union in an honest manner. The pill is swallowed with a wry face and a good deal of scolding, but it must and will go down, and the patient will feel better afterwards. That it would have been 1 better for her to have taken reconstruction in a decent manner at first even if it was some what nauseating, is made quite plain by colit-asting her condition with th»t of a State which took the dose at the first j trial and has been gettiug better ever j since. The State of Arkansas is an ex 1 ample where reconstruction was properly submitted to and where it’s good effects are now evident. A correspondent w rit ing from Little Rock to the Xew York Times says Arkansas has passed through the hitter waters of reconstruction and come out. like i a baptized penitent, regenerated, buoyant and hopeful. Though tlie ordeal through which she lias passed seemed, at the time, to many, to be a cruel infliction needlessly imposed upon a conquered and subjugated people, yet in its results it lias proved, like the chastening rod of parental discipline laid on more in sorrow than anger, the wise and wholesome means of needed correction and reform. While many of the lately rebellious States are still battling against destiny, anil to their j i groat detriment, putting off the inevitable day of their return to the fold of the Union and I the restoration of harmonious relations with 1 the Federal Government, it is a source of much gratitude ami consolation to us to know that, we have safely passed the crisis, and once inure enjoy that peace, quietude and repose so much needed to recover our wasted strength and restore prosperity and civil order. Of all the rebellious States, not one has been more prompt or sincere in submitting to the terms and conditions ol reconstruction, nor has any been more thoroughly and completely reconstructed than Arkansas. Throughout our entire bordersthere is scarce ly to be found a man who would wish to have undone what has been done, or ^who would desire to disturb the harmony of the relations now so happily adjusted with the General Government. The only serious objection really ever entertained by any considerable number of our people to the plan of recon struction proposed by Congress, w as that in respect to “negro suffrage;” but since that experiment has been tried, and found not to entail the evils at first so much dreaded, the public mind has universally acquiesced in it. at least with that degree of satisfaction with which we are accustomed to contemplate inevitable and accomplished facts. A wonderful change lias indeed come over the spirit and condition of the people since the reconstruction of the State. Nearly all the wounds of the late fratricidal strife have been healed the “old residents” are rapidly' recuperating their shattered fortunes abun dant crops fill the barns and gladden the hearts of the husdandmen; increasing trade and commerce put a cheerful aspect on all sorts of business, and the benignant smiles of peace and plenty rest like the calm sunshine of approving Heaven upon our regenerated, redeemed itud disenthralled land. DIED. At Full River, R. I., Dee. 2:hl, Rev. Eli Thurston, It., in the y a numher of property holders and business men of Victoria, to be followed by another, which will contain the names of all the British merchants and others of Victoria, Nanaimo, and other places, in favor ol' a transfer of British Columbia to fhc Cnited States. 'Hie Pres ident, the next day, returned to Mr. Col yer a verbal reply that he had read the memorial with great interest, and sent it to the Secretary of State. Mr. Colyor also showed the memorial to Senator Sumner, chairman of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, who, after reading it, said the movement was im portant, and could have hut one termina tion. Meanwhile our Government waits for the movement of Kitgland, which is last seeing the uselessness and impracti cability of Kuropean empire in this hem isphere. Both the President aud Senator Sumner desired their replies to he made known to tlve memorialists. The follow ing is the memorial To His Excellency the President of the United States i our mcmoruiisis ucg leave most respect fully to represent that we are residents of the Colony of British Columbia, many of us Brit ish subjects, and all deeply interested in the welfare and progress ot' our adopted country that those that are British subjects are pene trated with the most profound feelings of loyalty to her Majesty and her Government, and that all entertain for her feelings of the greatest attachment and to the country. That while we thus indulge such feelings, we are constrained by the duty we owe to ourselves and tamilies, in view of the contemplated severance of the political ties which unite tins colony to the “mother country,” to seek for such political and commercial affinity and connection as w ill insure the immediate and continued prosperity and wcH-being of tins our adopted borin'. That tins colony is now suffering great de pression owing to its isolation, a scarcity of population, and other causes too numerous to mention. That we view w ith feelings of alarm the avowed intention ot her Majesty’s Govern ment to confederate this colony with the Dominion of Canada, as we believe such a measure can only tend to still further depress ion and ultimate injury, for the following reasons, viz: That confederation cannot give U" protection against internal enemies or for eign foes, ow ing to the distance of this colony from Ottaw a. That it cannot open to us a market for the produce of our lauds, our for ests, our mines, or our waters. That it can not bring us population—our greatest need— as the Dominion itself is suffering from lack of it. That our connection with the Domin ion can satisfy no sentiment of loyalty or de votion. That her commercial and industrial interests are opposed to ours. That the tariff of the Dominion will be the ruin of our farm ers and the commerce of our chief cities. That we are instigated by every sentiment of loyalty to her Majesty, by our attachment to the laws and institutions of Great Britain, and our deep interest in the prosperity of our adopted country, to express our opposition to a severance from England and a confedera tion with Canada. We admit the Dominion may be aggrandized by confederation, but we can see no benefit either in the present or future which can accrue to us therefrom. That we desire a market for our coal and lumber and our fish, and this the Dominion seeks for the same produce of her own soil. She can take nothing from us, and supply us nothing in return. That confederating this colony with Cana da may relieve the mother country from the trouble and expense of fostering and protect ing this isolated, distant colony, but it cannot free us from our long-enduring depression, owing to the lack of population, as aforesaid, and the continued want of a home market for produce. The only remedy for the evils that beset us we believe to be in a close union with the adjoining States and Territories. We are al ready joined to them by a unity of objects and interests. Nearly all our commercial rela tions are with them. They furnish the chief markets we have for the products of our mines, land, and waters. They supply the colony with most of the necessaries of life. They furnish us the only means of communi cation with the outer world, and we are even dependent upon them for the means of learn ing the events in the mother country or the Dominion of (,’anada. For these reasons we earnestly desire “the acquisition of this colony by the United States.” It would result at once in opening to us an unrestricted market for our produce, bring an influx of population, and with it induce the investment of capital in our coal and quartz mines, and in our forests. It would insure us regular mails and com munication with the adjoining States and Ter ritories, and through them with the world at large. It would lessen the expense of our Govern ment. by giving us representative institutions and immediate control of our domestic con cerns, besides giving us protection against loreign enemies, and with all these we should still he united to a people of our own kindred, religion, and tongue, and a people who for all time must intimately a fleet us in all our relations for weal or woe. That in view of these facts wc respectfully request that your Excellency will cause this memorial to be laid before the Government of the United States, and that in any negotia tions which may he pending or undertaken between your Government and that ot her most gracious Majesty for the settlement of territorial or other questions, that you will endeavor to induce her Majesty to consent to the transfer ot this colony to the United States. We believe that her Majesty earnestly de sires the welfare and happiness of all her people, in view of the circumstance that for years she has consented to the annual exodus of tens of thousands of her subjects to the United States, and that she will not let politi cal tradition and sentiments influence her against a measure which is so earnestly desir ed by the people of this poor isolated colony. Dated British Columbia, November, 1869. Word is received in Washington that tiie military commander in .Mississippi will call the new Legislature of that State to gether on Tuesday of next week. All the members will lie required by him to take the oatli in the third sfoetion of the four teenth amendment to the Constitution lie fore entering on their duty, and the body will at onee ratify the fifteenth amend ment. Three-fourths of the members are republicans. One of the first duties will be to elect United States Senators.
