the lapse of nearly eight months, Con
lgress proposes to pave the wayto the
admission and TO the representation
of one Of the eleven States whose peo.
IpIe arrayed themselves in rebellion
against the constituted authority Of
of the federal government.
Earnestly desiring TO remove every
causc Of further delay, whether real
or imaginary, on the part Of Congress,
to the admission TO seats Of loyal Sen.

ment of the right of Congress 10 pass
laws preliminary to the admission of
duly qualified Representatives from
any Of the States. Neither is it to be
considered as committing me to all the
statements made in the preamble
some of which are, in my opinion,
without foundation, in fact, especially,
the assertion that the State of Ten
nessce has ratified the amendment to
the constitution Of the United States
proposed by the Tbirty-ninth Con
gress No official notice of such rati-
tication has been received by the Ex-
cutive, or filed in the Department of
State; on the contrary, unofficial in
formation from most reliable sources
induces the beliefthatiti is not constitu.
tionally sanctioned by the Legislature
ofTennessee. The right of each house,
under the constitution, to Judge of the
elections, returns and qualifications of
its own members, is undoubted. and
my approval or disapproval of the
resolution could not, 10 the slightest
degree, increase or diminish the au-
thority in this respect conferred upon
the two branches of Congress.
In conclusion, / cannot too earnest
" repeat my recommendation Tor the
admission Of Tennessee, and all other
States, to n fair and equal participa-
ton in nationallegislation, when they
present themselves in the persons of
loyal Senators and Representatives,
who can comply with all the require
ments ofthe constitution and the laws.
BY this means, harmony and recon

The Lafess from the Front.

The best news we have this week
for our readers is, that that treasona.
bic conelave, properly termed the
Rump Congress, which has been in
session since last December, adjourned
sine die, on Saturday last at 4-30 P NJ.
This body of men labored for the past
eight months, with zeal worthy OF
a better cause, TO do just what Jeffer-
son Davis and his adherents attempted
TO do--dissolve the Union; and they
have just as signally, but far more
meanly, failed We had not fired n
gun for seven years, but when we
heard this news, we made our six
shooter revolve twice. We could do
no better. The night before they ad-
journed they each voted themselves
five thousand dollars salary, to run
back 10 March, 1865. No wonder
they were SO eager TO increase the
tariff and other taxes. 1t will take
nearly halfa million Of dollars out of
the peoples pockets to satisfy this
national robbery And more wicked
still, while they added two thousand
dollars TO their own salary, they de-
feated the soldiers bounty bill, which
was the next clause in the appropria-
tion bill. These Rumpcrs will smell
Of treason and plunder during their
natural lives.
The Rev Secretary Harlan, of the
Interior Department, got miffed at

and sent in his card. The Govern
mental once relieved him, by appoint
ing ex-senator O. II. Browning of
