Tennessee white soldiers are to bs allow

FALSE APFEARANcEs.-The New York
Sun warns its readers not 70 take the hectic
flush of seeming prosperity for the bloom Of
real, personal or national health. It there
fore sobcrly and wisely says The Gov
ernment is in debt twenty seven hundred
millions of dolIars--all contracted within tho
last five years Every dollar of that debt,
which bears interest, is distributed among
the people, and every tax payer must bear
share of the burden according to the taxable
valuation of his property. II matters not
how much Of this interest is paid by direct
tax, or how much in tho way of internal
revenue in one way or another it all rests
upon the people, and the country &c large Is
just the said twenty seven hundred million
dollars poorer than it would have been with
out the war, to say nothing Of the general
wastage of resources. How is it, then, that
we are apparently. richer, while IN reality .
great deal poorer, than before the rebeilion2
The truth is, that our present conditions is
unnatural, baseiesss transitory. The war
created an artificial prosperity, which al
though well enough for the individuals who
made hay while the sun shone, was fcti-
cious and unreal, so far as the country was
concerned. ~

WILSON ON THE DIFFERENCE IN ABOLITION
RANKs-IIon. Henry Wilson, in recent
speech at Yonkers, used the following
language,
Tie Republican party, then, has written
its name for Justice, liberty and humanity,
while the Democracy has ever voted against
all these measures for human liberty. They
say they support the policy of Mr.. johnson,
but say they do no such thing. Did they
support the Constitutional Amendment
There is not man in the country as strong
q supporter as Andrew johnson. Do you
know how much there is in this amendment
1t authorizes the Congress of the United
States TO make these slaves emancipated in
all respects free men and citizens of the
United States. That provision is now en-
dorsed by more than twenty States, and /
tell you Congress will act up to it by ap-
propriate legislation. We can declare null
and void any black code of any State. They
say they are in favor of the policy Of Andrew
johnson. Dare they stand by him on this
measure? They favor his policy of recon-
struction. Do they know what is2 There
are differences between US on several of these
points, but the Republican party was born Of
free discussion, has lived and thrived. and
conquered by it. The President said to
me the other day that he had never made
any discrimination between those who favor
negro suffrage or what is known as his
policy. That he is for free discussion, from
which would eventually come forth the truth.
And tell you tonight, that there will be
in the Congress of the United States bold,
free and candid discussion of all these ques.
tions, and there will be no trouble between
US and the President and Cabinet, we have
ability enough to settle these questions as
they arise. | have faith that all will be
settled SO as to secure tho liberties of all ths
the people in all the States.

1t is important that persons Of foreign
birth residing among us should not forget
that the naturalization laws have under
gone an alteration which dispenses with
the five years residence, in the case Of
persons who have served in the army. By
the act passed in 1862, aliens twenty-one
years and upwards, who have served Ia
the army and received an honorable dis
charge, are entitled to naturalization pa
pers without giving the previous notice
Of their intention TO become citizens re-
quired by the former law, and il is neces-
sary, in their case, to prove only one years
residence. We commend this alteration
Of the law to the attention Of discharged
soldiers of foreign birth, and advise them
to procure naturalization papers ii season
for the fall election.
The Constitution says that Congress
may pass uniform laws of naturalisa-
ton" Where then has Congress the
power to say some foreigners shall be nat.
uralized in one way and others in anoth-
er 2 But the Constitution has little to do
with Legislation these times.
