more than ever ubwise. .Whole communities are

largely made up of new people. ' Business rela

.usturally picks up a paper to see where he can
find it. The merchant that he traded with three
or four years ago is not to be found now, and all
the dealers are new men to him. Whoever ha?
anything to sell looks also info the paper to
learn where'such products are bought. Thefar

lens of this place have bgen warned so often of
the malicious condmct of their children in .the
street, and with so little good. effect that it is
rcallyrdiiagreeable to have to do so again: - A
lot of bad boys are always in the streets, and
yesterday one was driven out of .a mercantile
establishment where he had been flourishing an
old rusty loaded ,pL-tol. The same chap was
noticed afterwards playing cards in the market
with a negro, . and the money f jt which they
were playing staked on the b'enchwliere seated.
Parents having such children under their charge
had better look after their conduct, else our,
word for it, they will be dangling at the end ot
a rope before they reach the age of twentyone.
Come at Last For some days an order has
.been looked for, compelling delinquents to clean
,np their premises and. yesterday it wts issued,
and appears in Tha Herald this morning It
will be found of great interest to this class, and
their attention is specially referred to it. -The
justice of such an order will "not be disputed,
for all well know thatfappeals have been made,
orders fssued, and parties sent but to have this

conclusive ly the line of policy which is to be

Two States wbich had formally Eeeeded have
been' declared ! restored to the Union viz :
Missouri arid Tennessee.
Provisional Governors have been elected
and appointed for, four other States Virgin,

and we shall doubtless soon have the official
announcement, as we already have the rumor.
of the appointment of similar officials for Ala

such instructions as shall hasten the return
of those S ates to the Union before the next
session of thel United Stites Congress.
,-; i;- ,' . .:.: 'MISSOURI. ' ' r
The work of reconstruction in Missouri lias
been, for some time an accomplished fact. - It
was practically begun in July, 1861, by the
election" by a convention of the State of Ham
ilton 11. Gamble as Provisional Governor.
Governor Gamble continued to exercise the
orarogatives of the office until December, 1862.
when a newly elected and loyal Legislature
met. Under certain provisions ot this Legis
lature an election was held in LoveiiiLer,
1864, and the' present Governor, Thomas J.
Fletcher, elected to fill thu office until Decani '
berl867. " Since that time the State has been
regularly recognized as restored to the jUnion.
On June C the people were called , uponlo I
vote for or against a, new. fct&to ccristitution,
the election resulting in ' its adoption The
constitution declares, among other matters of
importance- : ! J'-X', " " 's '. . . k-.,: -

forever. . -'' '.; A. - :;'

TENXESSEE.
The policy of President Johnson Is perhaps
best illustrated by the course pursued, by him
in Tennessee. In. March, 1802, the- present
President of the1 United States was appointed
by President . Lincoln Miiitary uovernor ot
the State. Under his administration ana by
his direction a State , convention met in the
citv of Nashville, in 1864, which - made pro-
. . . ... - . . ,
vision tor the submission 01 certain proposed
amendments to the State constitution to the
people of the State. These amendments de
clared, among other things 1
jr8The abrogation or tne article ot tne
constitution prohibiting theemancipationof
slaves without the consent of their, owners,
thus yirtually abolishing slavery, bur not giv-
iner negroes the right of suffrage.

Ihe people were called upon to vote on tne
23d of February, 1865, as provided, and the
amendments were adopted. On the 2Gth of

Tennessee a free State was declared adopted
