A dispatch to the Memphis Avalanche,
from Little Rock, says:
''The report of the Senate Committee on
the amendment gives the following reasons
for their objections:
First-Arkansas does not know that the
amendment was adopted by such Con-
gress as the Constitution provides, as one
third Of the States were unrepresented.
Second-It was never submitted to the
President for his sanction, as the Constitu-
ton requires.
Third-The enormous power sought by
Congress, which would virtually abolish all
the local, domestic and State laws.
Fourth-Its efforts to force negro suffrage
on the States, as shown by The Cd section.
Fihh-The third section DISTINGUISHES
the wisest and best citizens, who. having
performed all the conditions of their sur
render and the general amnesty, are en-
titled to restoration to their rights and priv
leges ae they existed before the war, and
there are no reasons for believing its adOp-
ton would secure such restoration.
The report recommends quiet and Dig
ni6ed course of endurance rather than
purchase restoration at the sacrifice Of prjB-
ciple and self-respect."

OFFICIAL reports from Florida indicate
considerable ill-feeliDg between the citizens
there, arising from the possession of con-

real estate at Confederate con6scation sales

sustained the holders of such property. but
issued writs Of election against persons
holding property cOnfscated and sold by

THE TENNESSEE BAPTIST. We learn
from the editor, Rev. J. R. Graves, that he
intends to revive his paper the first of the
coming year in Memphis, instead of Nash
vile. This, we believe, is one of the oldest
papers in the South. DR.. Graves has edit
ed it for the past twenty years, and before
the war it had attained the largest cireula-
ton of any Baptist paper in the world. We
wish its veteran editor more than his former
prosperity in his pew loeation.-- Union and

JUDGING from the developments Of the
central despotism at Washington, and the
outcropiugs of the Radical oligarchy at the
Capitol of Tennessee, we fear that whole
some example and instruction would be
thrown away on either. Still, We shall
take the liberty of imparting occasional les
sons for their benefit.
Two notable examples Of generous for
bearanoe and magnanjmily have recently
been set by two of the most despotie pa
tons on the earth, Turky and Russia. It
will be recollected that shortly after the
suppression Of the instruction in Crete,
news came to us that the Sublime Porte
had extended general amnesty to all con-
cerned in the rebellion" This laniency
took all Christendom by surprise, because
the Turks have not been In the habit Of
dealing with reyolted provinces 10 that way.
The other instance of mercy and humani-
ty in an unexpected quarter is furnished as
by the Gar, who has just made extensive
concessions to the Poles, RENTING sex
ceptional imposts, taxes and monOpolies, I"
and restoring to the landholders vast estates
which had been forfeited by the particiPa-
ton of their owners in the last "rebellion"
against the imperial authority.
As the Government of the United States
is warm friend and admirer of that of
Russia, it is hoped that this example of hui
mainly and justice viii not be without eff
feet upon our Republican despots,
1t is rather striking commentary upon
the boosted civilization, virtue and Christi
anity of the Radicals, that we should find
them ehpging to measures Of persecution
and con6scation which even the Russians
and Turks-those semi-civilized nations of
Europe-aTe becoming ashamed Of. Per-
haps, to example, the Car and the Sublime
Porte may add precept, and address joint
note to the Puritan Congress demonstrating
against their adherence to the code of bar
barism .--NashviUe Banner.
