MoNsTROUs OUTRAGE

The conduct of the Tennessee Legs
lature in DISTINGUISHING and outlawing
the Southern men of the State, is bad
enough None but an utterly crushed
people would submit to an outrage so
monstrous But this is not the worst
Read this paragraph dispatched from
Nashville on Saturday
a bad state of affairs exists in Wash
ington county Tenn. Large numbers
of those who sympathized with the South
during the late war are receiving orders
to leave the country, being notified that
il they DO not comply they will suffer the
penalty Of death.
1.-THE actors in this matter are Union
men-the followers of BRowNLow. They
are revolutionists, and threaten to be
murderers, if their demands are not com
Piled with. They are about to commence
a civil war. If our voice could reach
these suffering people of Washington
county, we would advise them to come
West Then, they would be protected q
every human hazard.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES
TO THE PUBLIC LEDGER

WASHINGTON, May l-l250 P NJ
In the Senate, yesterday, the only matter
of importance brought up vas the Post
office Appropriation bill.
Senator Fessenden having Withdrawn
his amendment, the amendment of SEN
ator Trumbull was then freely discussed
by both sides, but the Senate adjourned
at 5 P. NJ, without coming to vote on it.
The main feature presented was the
report of the Reconstruction Committee.
The amendment to the Constitution
which it proposes will be acted upon
next Tuesday, and the two bills intro
duced Herewith are made the special
order for next Wednesday and Thursday.
The President yesterday granted
sixty pardons to persons whose cases
come under the thirteenth exception, on
$4,000 clause. OF these, forty-nine
were Texans, three Georgians, ten
Louisianians and five Alabamians.
A dispatch to the Richmond Enquirer
from Falmouth, dated April 20, says that
a terrible riot occurred here to-day be-
tween the negroes and whites, in which
fifteen negroes were killed and num-
Der wounded. One white man is report
ed MORALLY wounded and Others slightly.

Why He Loves His Country.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York World, in noticing the re-
mark of Senator Clark, of New Hamp-
shire, that he loves his country" says .
And why should not Clark love my
country, when my country not only
pays his salary as Senator, with such
pickinga as mileage, stationery frank
ing, public documents, seeds from the
Agricultural Bureau, and pots of plants
by the boxful from the National Botanic
Garden, but my country goes far toward
supporting all the other members Of
Clark's family. Clark's son, a youth of
eighteen, is door-keeper Of the reporters
gallery in the Senate, and for that nomi-
nal service Clark's son receives 800 a
month"; round 81 200 for the year-for
supposed services in session time, and
for services when he is at school in New
Hampshire. Clark's nephew, another
You of tender years,is clerk of the Com.
mittee of Claims, Of which Clark is
chairman, at salary of 81 500 a year
How many more salaried Clarks there
are in and around the Senate Chamber, the
Congressional Directory does not state !;
but if there is any family in creation, or
even in New England, that have more
reason to love my country than the
Clark family, the Clark family would do
well to resign few of their patriotic
places and positions, and devote their at
tention to general search for rebels in
the South for the benefit of the Recon
struction Committee of Fifteen"
