SUCCESSFUL SUCCESSION.

1t seems that Radical logic has decided that
successful secession is right. Western Vir-
ginia is proof in point That seeding por-
ton of the Old Dominion is not only recog-
nized, but is allowed ITO have Senators and
Representatives, in Congress. Now it is Ger
tain that if a State has no right to Withdraw
from tho Union, county has less right to
withdraw from Staeo.
1t was treason for the Southern States to
secede and form q confederaoy, but It is all
right for certain counties to secede end form
a State. AS there 'is West Virginia, Ten
nesses is to haye'an East Tennessee. So you
see the distinction without difference. In
the early historyof North Carolina certain
dissffected and ambitious parties ondeavored
to establish State Of Frankland out of the
western portion Of the Old North.State, but
the reasonable effort was at onco defeated;
and it was not till West Virginia revived the
idea that anybody conceived that such thing
wosid be tolerated by either State.or Federal
authority.

TIE RIGHT TO VOTE IN TENNESSEE
The bill regulating the right to vote, which
has lately passed the Legislature of Tennes-
see, and is now the law of that State, en-
bodies provisions which may be inferred from
the following oath which voters are required
to take:
"I do solemnly swear that have never volun-
tariy borne arms against the Government of the
United States for the purpose or with the inten-
tion Of aiding in the late rebellion nor have with
any such intention at any time given aid, counsel
or encouragement to said rebellion, or to any act
of hostility to the Government Of the United
States. I further swear that have never sought
or accepted any Office, either civil or military, or
attempted to exercise the functions of any office,
either civil military, under the authority or
pretended authority OF tho so-called Confederate
States of America, OF any insurrectionary State,
hostile or opposed to the authority Of the United
States Government, with the intent and desire to
aid said rebellion; and that have never given a
voluntary support to any such government Or au-
thority. 80 help me God"
Any bill containing these provisions must
disfranchise at least nineteenth of the people
of Tennessee, taken as q whole, and in many
portions of the State, we imagine, ninety-nine
in every hundred will be debarred the right
to vote.
To add to the proscriptiveness of the bill
it is provided that a commissioner of registra
tion shall be appointed, whose consent mus,
be obtained before any citizen can register
and vote. That commissioner is to be appoint
cd1y BRowNLow, and will, of coarse, be some
tool of his, who, if he allow any but Brown
Low men to vote, will take care 10 preserve G
safe majority of'that class. ia this way tn,
curse of Brownlewism seems to be fixed upor
the State indefinitely.

knows this better than tho hundreds of re-

orders.

patent, it would be unnecessary to promul-
cato them, and we give them prominence
only to correct any misrepresentation of the
evil minded which may be made abroad for

TIE KRET OF lfdNDAMILI

The New ,Yod2 News, while agreeing in
theopinion of many persons that the Supreme
Court of the United States would not issue a
writ of mandaasas requiring the. admission
into Congress Of any given member, for the
reassn that the Constitution mikes each
Hosee the sole judge of the elections, qualifi-
cations, and returas of its own members-
arguee that the Court might ,perhaps be in
duces to grant the writ for the purpose of
compelling the Hanse TO take some action
The Rtws says:
fit could do anything, it would be to:iasue it's
mandate to tn two Houses, directing them to go
on and investigate, each for ITSELF the alsims Of
the several members elect to their seats This
indeed, would be point gained, supposing that
the Court would issue aud Co ngress pespest the
writ, for It would establish the .act that the8outh-
ern States, under their present organization, are
in the Unian and, therefore, entitled 20 berepre-
sented in Gepgress. Henoeforth Southern, ,,raem-
bers could only be excluded by o!2jeoting so,them
personally" ;'.It may be worth while to try the
experiment. if,only for the purpose Of settliagrhe
law and establishing q precedent on the subjast"
BY all means let us have trial of the GAGS
ton. We cannet be worstad by a refusal .sf
the Court to graM the writ, while, if grantaf,
1t may result in muoh good.

The New York Tribune says that among
the four millions Of negroes in the country at
the beginning of the war, there were not moro
than thousand who we're not AsUnionists"-
thenefore the negroes ought to be endowed
with the right of suffrage. Perhaps the Tri-
bune is right. Bat were there thousand who
were Unionists If the Tribune had,said there
were not thousand negroes who were not
Athanasians, or Arians, this statement would
have been just as correct as tho other, simply
because there were none who were anti i-Arinns
or anti Athanasians. They knew just as much
and cired just as much about the theological
differences involved in tho one case as they
knew or cared about the political differences
involved in the other case. But admitting the
statement to be true in all its length and
breadth, and admitting, too, that it follows
that negroes ought thence to be allowed to
vote, it seems that the right of suffrage is not
by any means natural right, but flows from
agreement in political opinion with MIR. GREE
LEY. That seems to be the upshot of the whole
business-those who believe as the Radicals
believe would make splendid voters, while
those who oppose tho Radicals have no bust.

LIE would be safe, and that he would be
allowed 70 live in safety at Shanghae

promised, and according to preconcer.
ted plan Burgevine informed the rebel
leader, Chung Wung, he would next
morning, with his Europeans and the

campif he were backed by sufficient
force. -T
The arrangements being complete, OH

made-a rush and surrendered them
selves Chung-wung, seeing how he
had been deceived, made vigorous at
tack, but was handsomely repulsed.
Burgevine was now allowed to live in
Shanghai, in house belonging to him
self, and pressed the Footai to paw him
the pay he was entitled to for the COM

official, however, promptly and decided
i refused to do so, and Burgevine again
began plans for rejoining the rebels

Americans. In the midst of this scheme
he was detected, and thrown into prison
and has now met his death by drown

have heard of the act of Congress estab-

the Insolvency of certain banks, organ
lied under the stringent laws of Con-
gress. which only gives to the incorpe-
rators ninety thousand dollars in cur
rency, for one hundred thousand dollars
in government security, and the gov
eminent assuming all the responsibility
or this circulating medium, was the i'm
mediate cause of alarm. Several parties
refused "greenbacks. on the strength
of this fresh rumor, contradicled in New

GOOD ADVICE.

The Richmond Enquirer, in article
on the opening of the new year, says,
with mournfnl truth, that the people
are Impoverished of all accumulated
means, and literally deprived of every
thing like property, except land" and
adds: T
| The improvement of this land. not
only in an agricultural sense, but It's con-
| version from dormant into active capi-
tai, must, to very great extent, take
place during this year. Our farmers
have too muchsland and too little money.
and the only way to get more of the lat
ter is by selling some 0fthe former. The
only way to improve the land is to con-
vert part of it into money, and with that
money to build the houses, barnes and
fences, purchase stock and implements.
and hire labor. "Do you advise,u asks
q correspondent, "the farmer to sell his
"a nde Ni EiteHt'acks, when are uepre-
eating daily, and may become worth
less on his hands losing to hi mhis little
that the war has left him?" Most certain.
~ we do. The fear that greenbacks will
become vaiueless results in great mea-
sure from the experience our people had
WIN confederate money but, though
gold may rise and fall, greenbacks are
not going to become worthless. Our
people may as well discard that fear at
once, and realize the fact that green
backs are oW. currency, the measure of
the value of our lands, and the sole |
medium Of carrying on our daily bust |
ness. TO get them by every honest |
means, and to use them in every legiti- |
mate trade, is not only our duty as citi-
1ens, but is the part of wisdom as in,li-
Viduais. We would not advise our peo-
PIE TO sell their lands and hide the
sfeenbacks, but to use them in farming,
II the Improvement Of their lands, in
paying OFF their debts, and in restoring
he prosperity of their State. @ ~
This is very good advice, and If fol-
owed, will lead to prosperity.

Fray, sur, clear up this difficulty. 1t il

tons are written. Irish grievances
bore him. We are sorry we cannot
spare the amount of space necessary to

we will mention two wrongs of the
first magnitude under which Ire-
land has suffered for centuries.
and which do contribute largely and
justly to make English domination
odious.' One is the pertinacity with
which the English House of Commons
assists Irish landlords in maintaining
system of land laws in Ireland which
are utterly opposed to the traditions and |
habits of the people and the require
ments of Irish society, and which, as
administered, are barbarous and inhu-
man. The other is the maintenance of
q state Church, which is not simply the
Church of q small minority, though this
would be bad enough, but the sign and
memorial of conquest-a Church whose
very existence as political Institution

And we consider tire continued andI
litter hostility with which the Irish
catholics still regard it as a most en-
indication of the existence

Wehave rumor from Washington to
the effect that President Johnson, at the
meeting Of Congress, tomorrow, will
send in special message in regard to
the admission Of members of Congress
from the southern states. The course of
Henry j. Raymond, it appears, has
somewhat alarmed the ultra radicals. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Raymond has
publicly expressed himself as holding.
that, since the rebellion has ended, and
slavery is abolished, the North and
South should have equal representative
powers in Congress. He argues that
the North, under the Constitution, has
no right to legislate for the South, un-
less the South is represented in Con-
gress. He believed that the majority of
the Southern members have been lepi-
timately elected, and should be admitted
to seats. Mr.. Raymond, despite the
Vaccinations of the ultra-Stevens party,
when Congress gets to work. will be an
earnest supporter of President johnson,
and the leader of the House.
