The Case OF mr. SegaT-The Rule
Adopted by COnRreks.

The case of Mr.. Segar, q representa-
tive from the first Congressional District
of Virgins, has attracted considerable
attention, and the result, which will
doubtless be looked upon as q precedent,
may be of the highest Importance to
Tennessee. From our Washington ex-
changes we learn that the House commit
tee on elections report that votes were
cast in but three of Che twenty or more
counties that really and legally consti-
tute his district. Most Of them were in
the armed occupation of the rebels. A
table is furnished showing the population
of the district, black and white, in 1860
Only about . quarter of the population
could participate iq the election. The
voters were in like proportion. It cannot
be said that the 1000 who were kept from
voting by rebel occupation of the dis
trict aequiesced in the election of Mr..
Segar. A distinction is made between
such state Of things and that where
the voters could vote if they pleased, but
remained quiet. Mr.. Segar might have
been the choice of the District, or might
not. The doctrine of the precedents of
the last Congress was that "where the
vote actually pOlled was such = minority
of the whole vote that il could not be de-
termined that the person selected by that
minority was the choice Of the whole
district and the absent majority were
not staying away voluntarily from The
polls, but were kept away by force, then
no such election, thus made, could be
treated as an election"
This decision is eminently just. If
men willingly refrain from attending the
polls, or have forfeited their right to do
50, then those who do vote, be their num-
Der small as il may, must be recognized
as the true opponents Of the will of their
district; but where the mass Of voters
are manifestly prevented from exercising
their legal right, the case is different.

We have scarcely opened cOpperhesd
paper from the ncrth, during the
last year, in which there has not OCCUR
red some sentence in which the right of
coercion is denied and many of them
endeavor to prove that they are yet dis
ciples of Andrew Jackson! The impu-
dence of such journals always approaches
the sublime But it is not the frat time that
corruption has endeavorsd to cover itself
With the mantle of purity; that traitors
have endeavored to excuse their acts
by classifying the records of true patriots.

SOMEBODY, who signs herself "loya"
woman, writes to the New York World in
protest against killing off all the men in
this war; She says:
Already the masses Of tie women in
this country are pushed to the verge of
endurance. Tell them to economize in the
purchase of silks and foreign goods. Why,
they can scarcely afford to buy muslin for
necessary undergarments. They are OBJ.
'liged to feed themselves and their children
on the plainest and scantiest diet in order
to spare sufficient to purchase pair of
shoes, and are compelled to utterly deny
them the luxury Of fresh fruit which, in
Its season, is necessary to health, as well
vas grateful to the palate, unless they hap
pen fortunately to live where it can be had

ing for the country and the flag to the last
man, and it seems to me anybody is an
idiot who talks such nonsense. What
would the country be worth to me or any

And gracefully nod to the slow, passing breeze !;
The red-breast is lured from her nest, far away,
To regae on their sweets MS she MARBLES her lay J
The school girl heeds not the clear chime,
But wanders away in the cool shady dell
And the teachers dark frown is lost in n smile
AS she takes the sweet gift from the hand Of the

Thrice welcome gay spring! come forth from

he enlisted in the navy and was wrecked
on the Bahamas. He afterward under

was himself taken prisoner md confined
in the Libby. When he was exchanged
he went on board the ship that was to

that vessel went down, he, while attempt

the next day. Afterwards, while firing

Pigeons are hatched in eighteen days;
chickens, twehty-one; turkeys, twenty
six; ducks and geese, thirty.
A cement which is a good protection
against weather, water, and fire, to GER
tain extent, is made by mixing a gallon
Of water with two gallons Of brine, then
stir in two and a half pounds of common
salt; put it on with brush like paint.
Put potatoes of equal size into water
while boiling; when done, pour of the
water, scatter in some salt, cover the pot
with coarse cloth, and return it to the
fite for five minutes, when they are ready
for the table; even watery potatoes are
thus made mealy.
Common cut-nails are easily driven in

soap; saliva Is better than nothing for
that purpose.
Never condemn your neighbor unheard /;
there are always two ways of telling n
story.
The best way to cook potato is 10
bake or roast it in an oven; when done,
crack tho skins open and allow them TO
