OK Monday, according to Mr.. Stevens
announcement there was disposition on
the part ofthe Reconstruction Committee TO
admit the Representatives from Tennessee,
but the veto of the Bureau bill changed their
minds. After that fact became known, it
was held that great principle was in dan
ger, and the dread of usurpation threw its
baleful and darkling shadows upon the
scene.
What principle" concerning the relations
of Tennessee with the Federal Union was
involved in the Presidents action on the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, we are at a loss to
discover; and what "usurpation" there can
be in the constitutional exercise of the veto
power, only the distempered imagination of
Radical can conceive.
The people of Tennessee, however, are to
be denied their sacred right Of representa-
ton because STEVENS sees fit to ay off into a
dudgeon at th@President. How long, oh,
STEVENS and Co, viii you abuse the patience

CLOSING THE AGITATION.

1t will be seen by the Geographic dis.
patches from Washington, that Mr.. Stevens
in "order 10 close agitation on the question,
as well as to quiet the uncertainty which ex.
lists in the minds of the people of the eleven
States which have been declared in insur-
reetion," reported joint resolution, declar-
ing that no Senator or Representative should
be admitted into Congress from either of said
States, until Congress shall have declared
such States entitled to representation.
This is CLOSING the agitation" with ven.
geance, and "quieting uncertainty" after the
Star Chamber method. When the Stevens
committee speaks the people are to be silent
and set their minds at ease. Its dictum is
a finality. Says Stevens, 81 am Sir Oracle
when my lips ope LET no dog bark"
We opine, however, that when ''the earth
commences to tremble more sensibly, the
arch-agitator viii learn that 'the fullncss
therof' is not in the possession Of the Rad.

THE NEW DISEASE, s'TRACHTNA----A
PANIC IN PORK.


One of the topics of the day, on both sides
Of the Atlantic, now, is the new disease that
has been developed in the hog family, va
rious accounts of the ravages of which have
already appeared III the foreign news COM
pilations. We have spoken of it as "dis-
ease" but those who have given the matter
attention tell us, it is not so much disease
as an affection of worms, the larv@ of which
are taken into the human stomach by eating
pork, and are there Matched in millions, find
ing their way to all parts of the body, and
literally eating up the patient alivel The
sickness Units progress, is said to have close
resemblance to the Asiatic cholera. The
Arcnir National, Paris journal, gives an ex-
tract from letter from Frankfort, under
date of January 9th, which is enough to
make ones hair stand on end. Speaking of
the pestilence in Ederstehen, near Madge-
burg, the writer says:
For a whole month past death has reigned
there A fearful death after nnexampled suffer
ings ana teoss that are asssa ih With the
eaten up alive by legion Of worms hardly so
thick as n human hair, that have worked their
way into the tissue of the fesh. their muscles and
their nerves. l. not such fate horrible to dwell
uponY On the 9Th of last month. DIR. Karl Stein,
Of Frankfort, wrote 10 one of our friends that
an immunity-had been deprived eftheir parents
There was hardly o house In the village that dad
not number victim. At that date upwards Of
three hundred patients were awaiting death,
which they knew 20 be ineyitable--a prey 70 fear
full suferings. Prom seventy 10 eighty Of the in
habitants who nj the outset OF the epedimio had
felt unwell had taken 70 fight 20 escape from
what they considered 10 be the cholera: but they
had fallen Down on the road and died without
relief. Their corpses alone were picked up.
The epidemic. DIR. Bouehett proceeded to say.
was caused by the raw ages of the worm called
trichine, whence the epidemic has received the
name Of trichiness. The trichine Is one Of the
enfozoa of the pig and is capable Of being trans
planted into and thriving in the human body.
No cure for this horrible malady hiss been
found; the only security said by the most
eminent physicians who have Investigated
it, is the preventive system, not to eat pork
at ali. We are not aware that the disease
has made Its appearanSejn this country, to
a certainty, though they are rumors iii,
out West Nor can we ascertain whether
the reports Of It's fatal Influences abroad are
exaggerated in the newspapers by some of

STEVENS, the overseer of the. Radical ma
jority in Congress, was very much disturbed
by the reading Of the recent message of the
President. II produced such shock TO his
nervous sensibilities that he had not recOv-
cred ,wensy-four hours afterwards. He gave
expression TO bis feeling the next day by de-
claring, "there is an earthquake around US, y
adding, that he "tremblsd" in contemplation

A WORD WITH OUR FRIENDS.

The present Editors and Proprietors of
the UNION AND AMERICAN, while extend
ing cordial greeting to the patriotic masses
OF Tennessee as represented in the Conven-
ton Of to-day, desire to say few words for
themselves. We feel that we are not
strangers in the midst of strangers. For
years we occupied opposing sides in the
arena of politics in this State. We have
worked with the people Of Tennessee in the
past, the one as Wing, the other as DEM
ocrat That is all over. The issues which
then controlled the patriotic citizen in his
action at the ballot-box, do not belong to the
present A work Of much higher import
and deeper consequence demands orr atten-
ton and engrosses our thoughts-it is the
maintenance of constitutional liberty in
America. Passing over the dire calamities
TO individuals and communities during the
past FIVE years, we have reached a point
where all the friends of human freedom and
constitutional government can come together
and unite in a common labor. Banishing the
Past and looking to the Future, which must
bring a common store of happiness and pros
perity, or Of gloom and misfortune, we have
no interest TO subserve over those Of our
fellow-citizens, whatever may have been the
differences that may have heretofore marked
their course. To this end the columns of
this paper are devoted We want Union,
not only political Union; we want Peace
and its attendant blessings; we want the
Consultation preserved, and just and equal
laws, protecting alike the highest magnate
and the humblest citizen.
II the object is good one, the public
mind should be concentrated to make il sue
cessfll We ask, therefore, that our friends
and those eoncurring in these views, viii
give rs their aid in extending the circula-
tiOn of tho UNION AND AMERICAN. Besides
these matters, large share Of its space is
devoted to general news, to financial and
commercial matters, TO literature and the So
cial interests of the country. The amount

NEGRO MORTALITY.

The New York Express says letter re-
ceived in that city, from Green Ridge, Ar
kansas, January %, thus refers to the NOR
tally among the blacks:
The mortality among the negroes in the towns
(where they will all go II they can get there) is
very great, chiefly from the prevalence of the
smallpox. In fact. beiiepe the race tcW become
c.stinct iR a Je,o years. Strange as it may seem.
mothers take but little care of their young, now
that they are Obliged to support them. In many
eases they destroy their babes"
The same writer further says:
There are not hands enough ir this State to
cultivate one-half the land that was planted be-
fore the war; The mortality among the negroes
since they became free is something fearful, and it
is a rare thing TO see negro baby"
The Mobile Register, on the same subject,
says:
We do not doubt that more Southern negroes
have died of disease. caused by improvidence in
a state offreedom for which they were utterly
armies of both the North and South in the late
sanguinary conflict.
Sumner, Wade & Co. labor to make the
country believe that all the negro wants is
the privilege of voting, to make him healthy,
wealthy and WISE Give him the ballot and
negro babies will be as plenty as before the
war. Give him the ballot and sickness and
death will be known among the blacks no
more than among the whites. Give him
the ballot and the cotton and cane and rice
fields will increase their yield over former
years. The little ballot in the hands of the
negro is the homeopathic pill that viii
change his moral and mental character, and
make him even the superior of the white.
May be so and may be not. In the mean
time, the race among us is gradually disap-
pearing. Government schools and rations,
bureaus and surgeons, while they show that
the negroes are being cared for, yet they do
not hide the great fact of the unusual NOR
tally of adults and decrease of children
among them. Something else than the bal
lot rs wanting to stop this waste of life among
the blacks.
