RECONSTRUCTION The action of the Legtsiature of Virginia, convened by Gov. Pierpont im extra session will be looked tor with mach in- terest. snd tt is to be hoped that prompt meas. Ures will be taken to reorganize the State wader the provi of the reconstrnction bill which has just become a iaw. Virginia will thus be of the ten excluded States to regain em the Union. If this resuit coutd be brought sbout by a radical change in those centiments opmions of the people which Were founded on slavery,and were excued- ingly mischievous because they prompted re- bellion, and now encoursge disaffection, it would be very desirable. But if humanit: and Patriot's Sinly appeal two the Whites iu the South, the indications now are that expediency will serve to give events the proper direction; and in the meantime the malcontents will gradually accustom them- Selves to the new order of things, and sacrifice their prejudices one by one, in order to prevent their utter ruin through obstinate adherence | to political principles which have passed away. If the coercive principle of the new \ bill is sufficient to force the South into ac- | cepiance of its provisions, so much the better } for the South. | Eveu the New York World Yields tothe pres- eure, and bluntly states the case as follows: © prob. bilities, as we estimate them, in- cline strongly to ultimate submission on the part of theSouth. If this estimate be not mis- | taken. good policy requires that the submis- | sion should be prompt enough to prevent the | FE:sdicals getting control of the new State or. , g*nizations. The planters can control the ne- eTo vote if they begiu in season; and by accept. Ing atonce what they will be constrained to submit to at Inst, they can help their friends am the North elect the next President and res- cue the Government from Radical domineering and insolence.”” We yesterday quoted the Richmond Whig and other Virginia papers, which take the same view of «ibe situation,” but are alittle More cautious in their statements of the case ‘The position of the other papers in Richmond may be briefly statea thus: The Enquirer coan- sels an appeal to the Supreme Uonrt against the law; the Times don’t want the People toac- cept «merciless and inhuman terms” at the point of the bayonet, to secure “their lives and property:” the Dispatch, M.cawber like, is wait- ing for ~something to turn up.” and hopes for the dawning of a better day: and the Fram- iner is opposed to action by the Legisiatare, furtber than to‘ prepare to submit atas early & day as po_sible to the people of Virginia the question, whether not they will hold acon. Venton, and let them authorize the Governor, in the event of an affirmative answer to that inguiry, to make the necessary proclama- tion.” yerterday ———$—— THE ALEXANDRIA ELECTION. Great interest is naturally feit in the result of the m ipal election im Alexandria to- day, it being the first im the South since the pascage of the bill for the more efficient gov- «Tmment of that section. It is claimed by the Republicans that under the Provisions of that bili negroes have a right to vote, and they have been urged to exercise the privilege to-day. | Governor Pierpont, in a letter to an Alex- andrian, states his opinion that, under the | military bill, all male citizens over the age of twenty-one years, except those disqualified, #re entitled to vete, and that therefore the col- ‘red people are undoubtedly entitled to the + lective iranchise to-day. This position of the Republieans is contested by their epponents, Who contend that negroes cannot vote until a | convention is called to recomstract the State; and the commissioners of election find them- felves in a quandary. They held s meeting | yesterday moraing, at which a committee, | consisting ef Mayor Latham and Judge Moore, Was appointed to proceed immediately to Washington and consult the Attorney General of the United States upon the question of the | degality of such negro votes as May be attempted to be polled to-day. The Repub icans, m anticipation of unfavorable action on the part of the commissioners, held a meet. ing and appointed a committee ef four each two white and two black, to take lists of sneh | ‘votes as the commissioners may reject. | was reserved for him, and Messrs | section to the right of the Spenker, | Purveyor, and Morris DRAWING FOR The amusing periormiuce of drawing tor rents bas been couetbrough with at the House to-day.

The Repuvhican members of the House will hold a caucus on Wednesday night, at which it will be determined whetber or not te take a recess until October, and if so. whether the House commitives shall be designated before the recess. In any event, it will be requisite for the Senate to remain in session fora couple of Weeks, at least, to confirm new appoint. ments to Hill vacancies caused by rejections Postmaster General Randall states, we under- stand, that not less thau two millions of dol- lars are now in hands of clerks of post offices destitute of postmasters IMPEACHMENT. It is anticipated that there will be a warm Struggle in the House cancus of Wednesday night, upon the impe ¢ ment question, in which the «xtreme radicals will endetvor to bave that question referred to a select com- mittee, with General Butler as its chairman, and the other Republican members will essay to reser it to the Judiciary Committee. | seems to be believed that it will go again to te Judiciary Committee.
