Congress Admission OF Tennessee
The Presidents Views Oh the Sub.
ject.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The House to-
day concurred in the Senatc's amend
ments to the resolution admitting Ten
neSsee.
1t is probable the President will sign the
Joint resolution, as it provides for the adj
mission of Tennessee representatives, but
he will protest against its submission to
him because he has nothing to DO with the
admission of members of Congress; and
he will further protest that the preamble
does not state the truth, inasmuch Is it
asserts that the Tennessee Legislature has
adopted the proposed amendment to the
Constitution, when in fact it has not been
adopted by a quorum of both branches OF
the Legislature.
Mr.. Schcnck offered a resolution calling
on the President to inform the House il
an application has been made for the par.
don of Major General Pickett, and if steps
have been taken for his trial on the charge
of executing Union soldiers which was
passed.
Mr.. Spaulding offered resolution,
which was agreed to, requesting the Presi-
dent to cause the prosecution in the United
States courts against Fenian prisoners to
be discontinued if not incompatible with
the public interest.

VIRGINIA AND TIE PHILADELPHIA Cos.
vEsTIoS.-The action of the State Gen.
trail Committees of Virginia with refer
ence to the Philadelphia Convention will
be hailed with satisfaction by the Conser-
natives of the country. The gentlemen
composing these committees of the polltl-
cal parties of 1860 are most Of them promi-
nent and influential members of the COM
munity, and may be regarded as represen-
tatives OF the true public sentiment OF
Virginia at this time. The report adopted
at their meeting is couched in calm and
dignified language, pays just tribute to
the desire of the President to restore the
union of the States according to the prin.
ciples of the Constitution, and, in the name
and behalf of the people of Virginia, de-
clare that they heartily sympathize with
the law-abiding citizens Of the northern
States in the objects of the proposed Con-
vention, assuring them Of their anxious
disposition to cooperate with them in re-
storing real peace and the blessings Of re-
publican government to the country. The
manifestation of such sentiments, and the
election of delegates actuated by that
spirit, will have strong influence for good
upon the public mind.
We are gra.ifed to see that the South is
beginning to realize the vital Importance
of being represented in the Philadelphia
Convention. There must be a unanimous
and united effort by the Conservatives OF
the whole country in support of the Presi-
dent, or the doom of the South is settled.
If the Radicals triumph, she will become
province, the Ireland of America, and
remain so for generations. That conside-
ration alone should stimulate the South to
be represented in Philadelphia, and CO.
operate cordially and energetically with
the patriotic friends of the Union in the
North Transcript.

AShlSGIoH, July 81, Acoos
The Senate and the Tennessee Reso.
IutiOn-The Power OF Congress A..
serted Over State RecOgnitiOn-An.
other Veto the COnsequencc-Mr.
Stewards Recess Idea-A Permanent
COngress-Election Issues, &c.
Movements of each House on Saturday
tend to complicate matters before them
and cause n delay of adjournment. The
preamble to the Tennessee resolution
adopted by the Senate will cause delay
and another Executive veto. The Senate
asserts the principle upon which Congress
has acted this session, to wit: That States
which were lately in instruction cannot
he recognized as members Of the Union,
and entitled to representation as such,
without the assent of the legislative branch
of the Government. President johnson
has considered and treated this assump-
ton as unconstitutional and as sheer usur-
patton on the part of this Congress. OF
course he cannot recede from this position.
Congress decides to assert and maintain
this principle in the Tennessee case be.
cause 1t will he precedent for their action
in regard to the other ten seeded States.
The President cannot approve the Ten
nessee resolution rs modified by the Sc
nate without yielding everything, on his
part, in his struggle with Congress.
The argument, brief, compact, and auda-
cious, as it was, made by Mr.. Stevens on
Friday in support of his proposition for
recess of Congress has prevailed. 1t Is
upon that view of the question that the
House has now accepted his proposition
with a modification entirely unessential.
The effect of the resolution rs adopted
will be to give Congress the control over
the Executive during the -four months to
come. Thus the Radicals will save an
army of official friends, whose services they
require in the coming elections. Besides,
the resolution does in fact assert the power
contended for by Mr.. Stevens, as inherent
in legislative bodies, TO declare themselves
en- permanencs.
If the fall elections for Congress result
in favor of the Radicals, VIC may expect
movement that will continue Congress In
permanent session, despite the Constitu.
ton, during Mr.. Johnson's presidency.
The fear that the President will under
take q coup feat is sheer affectation.
Stevens can, however, calculate upon the
gullibility Of the people. He stated that
long ago. At any rate, two new and grave
issues are thus made for the next elections.

A REVEREND P0LITICIAN.-Rev. Dr..
Boynton, chaplain to Congress, is worthy
of bis place and his masters. He said In
o sermon the other day that "the whole
power of Western Europe was arrayed on
the side of the rebels" in the late war.
Now, if he had said moral influence or
good wishes, he would have told the truth.
But he meant no such thing. He said,
from human standpoint it seemed impos-
sible for the North to succeed against such
q power. The reverend liar ought to know,
if he does not, that the North received five
times al much aid in men, money, and war.

The Trsubles An the Tennessee Legis'

NASHVILLE, July 2l.-The sheriff Of the
county forced an entrance 10 the capitol
yesterday, and arrested Captain Heydt,
the officer Of the House who had In Gus
tody Mr.. Martin, an Ascending member.
Judge Frazier discharged Mr.. Martin,
and fined Captain Heydt ten dollars and
costs. Much feeling existed relative to
this affair, the House considering It an in.
fraction Of their rights and an insult to
their dignity.
The Union Convention, which met this
afternoon at the capitol, passed resolutions
providing for the appointment of delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention, and au.
thorizing all unconditional Union loyal citi-
gems of Tennessee to attend who can make
II convenient to be present. Resolutions
were also passed rejecting severely upon
Judge Frazier for his action in the matter
of arrests.

head, colored, and in the case of r. W.
Eastman, charged with the murder of a
freedman named Minor Mcnefee. Willis
Crayhead was murdered on the night OF
May 5th near Cold-spring Church, in Lu.
nenburg county. After some trouble,
caused by the unwillingness of the civil
authorities to take measures to arrest the
murderers, they were finally captured and
brought before magistrate. The trial
took place on the 9Th Of July, and was
largely attended, general sympathy being
expressed for the guilty parties. The first
witness examined was William Weather
ford, who had made the complaint. He
denied the truth of statements which
he made two days previous, and the
other witnesses either denied any knowl-
edge of the matter, or gave testimony
which they knew could not tend to
criminate the murderers; therefore
the accused were discharged from Gus.
todv. Minor Menefee was murdered
July at Flint Hill, Rappahannock
county, Va, by W. R. Eastman, by whom
he had been employed for some time as a
laborer. 1t appears that Eastman drove
Minors family from the plantation, as be
did not desire to retain any person except
Minor in his employ. Minor thereupon
left his service. Eastman had an inter
view with an officer of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau relative to the matter, and was In
formed that as no contract had been made,
Minor could not be obliged to return, but
might be induced to return by an offer oil
higher pay. Eastman met his former EN-
ploye few days after, and endeavored to
induce him to leave his family and return
to the plantation, but Minor refused. Some
harsh words ensued, and Eastman finally
drew his revolver and shot Minor twice.
