Claims Against the Government.


As soon as the members of Congress from
Tennessee were admitted to their seats, on
motion of Col. Stokes one of the Tennessee
members, the benefits of the law, making
provision for paying the claims of loyal citi-
zens against the government, were extended
to that State.
There are thousands of our citizens who
hold just claims against the national govern
ment for property taken or destroyed during
the war As soon as the State is restored
these claims will be examined and paid, but
not before 1t is to our interest as people,
therefore, to get back to the Union as soon
as possible.
How did Tennessee get back2 Why, by
adopting the proposed constitutional amend
ment. As soon as her Legislature did this,
Congress passed an act to admit her, and
President johnson approved the act. The
objection raised to this amendment by Gov.
Worth aud his friends, is, that it provides
that all persons who had taken an oath to
support the federal Constitution and after
wards engagedin the rebellion, shall not hold
Office hereafter, unless twb-thirds of the Con-
gress shall allow them to do so. This would
exclude from Office thousand or two of pol
iticians, and it is on their account that we
are kept out of the Union. Have we not
sacrificed and suffered enough already, on
account of office-holders and politicians a.
The issue is, The Union, soith a fsu politicians

What has Gov. Worth Done Z

The Sentinel has made no satisfactory re-
ply to our recent question, What has Gov.
Worth done, since he has been in office, to
restore the State to the Union2
Gov. Worth was elected with this express
view. This was the declaration on all hands
by his friends. He has been in office eight
months, and we seem to be further from re-
storation now than we were then.
The Sentinel seems to be much pleased
with the Improvements made by Gov. Worth
in the Capitol and Capitol grounds. Car
pets have been put down in nearly all the
rooms, and the grounds are in good order
We learn that the Governor has provided
new furniture and a fine carpet for his own
Office. His attention seems to be occupied
with these little things Is this duty on the
part Of the Chief Magistrate Of the Stdte'
Is this restoring the State to the Union p
For shame! The Capitol has been renova-
ted, and the grounds are kept in handsome
condition! And is that aU9
visionsl Governor, though he had thousands
of dollars at his command, which he had the
power to disburse as he might choose, never
drank even glass of ice-water at the ex-
pense of the State. He was content with
the old carpets and the old chairs He was
so eugrossed with his efforts to restore the
State to the Union that he had no time to
think of new carpets and new furniture. He
never found time even to visit the Senate
and Commons Halls until the Keeper of the
Capitol was about to prepare them for the
use of the Convention and Legislature.
Gov. Worth has renovated the Capitol,
and has put the grounds in order. He has
also no doubt given due attention to the or
dlnary routine of office business, such as re-
ceiving visitors, writing letters, having his
correspondence recorded, &c. But we re-
peat. WHAT HAS HE DONE TO RE

Political Meeting in Northampton.
A meeting Of the citizens of Northampton
county was held in the town of jackson, on
Tuesday, the 4th day of September, 1855.
On motion, Samuel Calvert was appointed
Chairman, and William J. Maddry chosen to
act as Secretary.
The chairman said that the chief object Of
the meeting was to nominate candidates to
represent the county in the next Legislature;
that the candidates nominated at meeting
here on yesterday, were not, in his opinion,
acceptable to majority of the people.
Col John B. Odom moved that q commit
tee Of five be appointed to prepare resolu-
tions for the consideration of the meeting,
and to propose suitable persons as cam
didates
The chairman thereupon appointed John
B. Odom, William Barrow, E. A. Martin,
James B. Barnes, and Lemuel Boyce COM
mittee, who reported the following resolu-
tions:
1. Resolred, That whilst it is natural for
us to desire the return of the State to her
former constitutional relations with the Fed
eral Government, upon. the most favorably
terms, yet since the end Of the recent unfcf-'
tunate strife of arms, we have submitted
and, as law-abiding and Union-loving citi-
ments, constitutionally imposed on us by
the authorities Of the general government,
in view of the future peace, and, above al,
of the perpetual and eternal union Of the
States.

The Short Crops.

We hear complaints from various quarters
of the shortness Of the corn crop. In some
localities not more than fourth of crop
will be made. This is said especially to be
the case in large portion of South Carolina
The last Charlotte Democrat says:
"From Lincoln and CASTOR counties we
hear cheering reports about the crops A
few localities in those counties have suffered
little from drouth, but generally the pros
pect is fair. The late rains in this section
have done much good.
But we are sorry to hear of poor prospects

From the Western Democrat. I

At meeting of the Justices of Union
county, on Saturday the 1st September, 1866,
called for the purpose of considering the
condition of the people and Of deyising some
mode for the relief of the destitute it was
l. Resolced, That the almost entire failure
OF the crops in consequence of the protrac-
ted drouth, following so soon after the severe
scourging suffered by this county from the
march through it of large portions of both
armies, presents the gloomy prospect of
great suffering, if not starvation, to many of
our citizens.
2. That the most fortunate of our people
will find the strictest economy necessary to
enable them to pass safely through the try
ing ordeal before them, and that they will be
unable to do much, if anything, for the more
needy.
g. That copy of these resolutions be sent
to the Governor Of the State, respectfully re-
questing him to take such measures as he
may think best calculated to prevent, or at
least to mitigate, the sad condition of things
herein contemplated.
A. That the Democrat, Neos, Sentinel and

Damn and Impuden. Robberies.

A party Of T" bushwhackers, or rather
idlers and loafers, have taken possess
sion of Mr.. j. II Lea's woodland, stu
ated about three and a half miles from
Memphis, and are committing depre-
dations on all and sundry who are IN
lucky enough to fall into their clutches
No one is exempt-old and young,
male and female, are forced TO stand
and deliver as they pass along the
Germantown road in the vicinity of the
spot where the woodlands are located
These scsmps number, it is said, over a
dozen, and are all fully armed When
they see a traveller approaching, two or
three sally out and accost him. He is
told, in a threatening tone, to hand
over all his cash and the valuables
which he may have on his person In
order TO stop all remonstrances, the
impudent request IS enforced by the
bright barrel of pistol being present
ed as his head, and a threat of instant
death being used, the request is gener-
ally complied with The poor unfortu-
nate is then allowed to depart, minus
his watch, ring and greenbacks
The industrious people who live
along the line Of the Germantown road,
however, have suffered most from the
at.ocious acts of those vagabonds. The
quiet farmers are tOiling hard from
early morn till dewy eve to make both
ends meet, and TO make up a little of
what they lost while the ''cruel war
was raging; they cultivate vegetables
and other products for the Memphis
market These they bring in on Sat
urday morning, and after selling their
products they purchase their groceries
and return home in the evening with
the necessaries for the following week,
and a moderate amount of money
These poor but industrious people we're
made the victims of the dishonest
bushWhackers. As one after another
of them came along the road, on their
way to their home, they were uncere-
moniously stopped and made to de-
liver up their goods and their cash.
One or two resisted the bold demand,
and sundry shots were fired, but it is
not reported that any body was hurt A
son Of Col Mclean had, however, q
very narrow escape from being killed.
While riding home in buggy, about
FIVE o'clock on the afternoon Of Satur-
day, he heard several shots fred in the
direction Of Le8's woodlands. Anxious
to learn what was the matter, he drew
up to the spot, and saw several shots
fired by the bushwhackers at the per
sons which they had been robbing
Mr. Mclean demonstrated with them
on their conduct, and they commenced
firing at kim Sixteen shots in all
were aimed at him, but, fortunately he
escaped unhurt
Stringent measures ought to be
adopted to rout out these bushwhack
ers by the proper authorities, in order
that poor but intelligent citizens may
be protected in their lives and property.

The WITNESSES AGANsr Mr.. DAVIS

what was thought 10 be a reflection on
the witnesses on whose evidence Mr..
Davis was indicted, one Of them. Mr.

appeared before the Grand Jury, not
as volunteer, but most reluctantly
and under the peremptory process Of
the Court lie adds:
g. II Mr.. Davis be guilty Of treason,
certainly am TO q greater degree; as
he, in his position, only obeyed the
unanimous voice of our whole Confed-
eracy, whilst volunteered my services
10 a cause which considered Just and
holy
This, we feel well assured, was the
feeling Of all the other witnesses
Who the witnesses we're, the Peters
burg Index states:
James F. Milligan was the well
known Chief OF the Signal Office, at
Petersburg, with the rank Of Major
George T. Scazburg is, we presume,
DR.. s, Surgeon in the c. S. A.

tives, from the Bedford District IN

popular men Of the State.
-. Hardy Hendren was the CAPTAIN
Of a celebrated battery Of srtillery fIom

Patrick o Brien was General Lees

No reproach can possibly attach 10
these parties for their action in this
matter, inasmuch as they acted under
compulsion, aud only gave evidence

Thus spoke Daniel Webster years

to-day. The radicals have overridden
the Constitution, set the Supreme
Court at defiance, and made laws to
suit themselves. And they are in a
fair way to bankrupt the country and
deluge it again with blood. One Of
their chief organs in New York de-
clsres the war is not yet ended, and
Robert Dale Owen declares if the
Constitution is not altered TO satisfy
their demands they viii renew the
fight. Nothing can save the country
but an overwhelming defeat Of the
