PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE TENNEs-
SEE LEGIsLATURE.-A day or two ago a
telegram from Nashville, Tennessee, n
nounced that the resolutions. offered in
the Legislature, endorsing President
Johnson's reconstruction policy, had
been tabled by the House by a vote of 35
ayes to Is nays. Our dispatches this
morning contains the resolutions in fun.
The stumbling block to tho Legislature
appears to have been the approval, in the
resolution, of President Johnson's letter
to Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, in
regard to the rights and disabilities of
rebels; since Immediately after the reso-
buttons were laid on the table, another
was adopted by a vote of sirty to -four,
endorsing President Johnson's Admins
t~ration, and especially his declaration,that
treason shall be made odious and traitors
punished. This from a State which is
just finding it's way back into the Union
is quite significant.

IHE ASSUMPTION OF THE REBEL WAR
DEBT.-The holders of United States secu-
rites will find it for their interest to mar
rowly scrutinize the proceedings of the
Southern conventions which have attempt
ed, or are attempting, to reconstruct the
Confederacy in some presentable shape for
admission into the Union. IF these con-
ventions do not settle the question against
any future payment of the war debt incur
red by the rebel States, succeeding legisla-
lures will, almost certainly, be forced to
provide some method for paying the obi
cations assumed in behalf of treason. Let
Southern legislatures acknowledge the va
lidity of such claims, and the: untold
amount of rebel expenditure during the
war Immediately enters, as one of the most
controlling elements, into national politics.
The steps are easy: First-legislative
assumption of the rebel war debt; then
the attempt to transfer the responsibility
to the General Government. The only
safe course for those who would preserve
the national cred tunimpaired, is to demand
that the constitutional conventions of the
South shall forever render it impossible tc
hereafter place the war expenditure of that
section within the category of legal obi
cation. This will be a pretty severe tes'
for most of the former rebel States, Judging
from the squirming which a similar propo
sition has already produced in that econ
sentative Confederate State, North Caro-

Gently received from a Union officer in
Georgia states that a man has been met
with who claims to have shot Col. shaw,

Shaw was not buried, as the Charleston

between two other Union officers. He
details the circumstances of the burial,

A short time ago, says a cotemporary, a
discharged black soldier returned home to
Milford, Del, with ".knapsack strapped
upon his back" and carrying a gun.
He was Immediately taken up before a
magistrate, relieved of his gun, fined,
&C., for violating a law which provides
that " no negro shall be allowed to own
or have possession of a gun" His case
was brought to the notice Of the military
commandment, and by him referred to the
commander Of the department. His decis-
ion will be one of interest. as it will decide
all similar cases involving the question
whether a black soldier who, in common
with the white soldier is allowed to retain
his gun by an order of the War Depart
ment, on returning home goes hack to the
"status Of a negro" again, or is pretec-
ted by the General Government in the
gun the United States sold to him.

RIGHTs IF STATES AND OF THE UNITED
STATFs.-The sacred rights of States >
are constantly pleaded by those who have
steadily excused the rebellion and denoun-
ced the Government, as if any State where
rebellion has been suppressed. by force OF
arms had any rights whatever but such as
the National Government choose TO recog-
nize, 1t is upon this principle thai The
President proceeds in appointing provis-
ional governors and directing a form OF
State government to be submitted to Con-
gress for its approval.
Phis principal Is recognized by many Of
the most recaicitrant of the late renels.
Thus the Richmond Times, speaking of
the resolutions of '98 and of Madison and
Jefferson, says:
sIn the present condition of their native
State they would have recognized that
necessity knows no law They would
agree with us that in times Xix these, there
Is 10 royal, time-honored road to recon
struction, nicely m~acadamized, fenced III
and mapped off in accordance with a set
of principles and resolutions intended for
the management of the machine. of civil
government, when moving on the regular
old constitutional track"
And even the New York Herald, which
has no opinions or convictions, but which
merely echoes the current sentiment OF the
street, cannot escape the inevitable truth,
and is obliged to say:
1.-THE members of ali these reconstruct
ing Conventions. and Legislatures should
remember that their work is experimental,
not conclusive hat the Presidents in
structions and wishes upon the business
before them are the only existing laws tor
their guidance; that the wal has invested :

That is the principle upon which Con

the matter. In the present circumstances
of the country there is no right IN, late
