MORE GOOD NEWS FROM THE PREs3
TDENT--IMPORTAN DISCLOSURE.

From the Memphis August
The following statement, We have reason
to believe, is perfectly reliable:
president johnson has written letter to
friend, at one of the interior towns of West
Tennessee, in which he declares that he is
only waiting for Texas to do as the other
Southern States have done-abolish slavery,
declare secession null and void, &c.,-in or
der to issue his proclamation declaring a
general amnesty, and that the lately rebel
lious States, having complied with all the
requirements of the Government, have re-
sumed all the relations to completely res
tored Union, and are entitled to equal rights
with all the other States. In word, this
proclamation is to be all that the most ar
dent lovers of Peace and Union could desire
all that has been so long promised and ex-
pected.
1t is to end the war oficidlly-restore the
habeGs corpus everywhere, and admit the
Southern members to Congress, subject only
to the constitutional right of that body to
examine into and decide upon the creden-
tials and qualifications of each individual
member. In the letter referred to, the Pres
ident reiterates his determination to take no
step backward in the course of policy he
has marked out, and declares his fixed, I'M
alterable resolye to restore the Constitution
and the Union, and 10 carry out to their le-
climate consequences and conclusions the
positions he has assumed. He intends firm
ly to see that all the States have that repre-
sentation in Congress to which the Constitu-
ton entities them, and to recognize ma
jority Of the Representatives of all the
States as THE CONGRESS"
In the same letter, it is said that the Pres
ident announces policy he intends to pur-
sue in regard to Tennessee, which, while We
deem it proper for the present to withhold,
we may assure our readers may at once lift
our State up out of the mire Of oppression
from an irresponsible oligarchy, and place
it by the side of the other States ON the
platform of Equal Rights.

A HARD RULE.

A Radical paper, in defending the action
of Congress in passing the Civil Rights bill,
says:
Finally to counteract the effect of certain bitter
but dying prejudices and class hatreds, which no
toriously exist in the Southern States, we need
some expedient, the simpler the better by which,
If in any State or District Justice is refused by
the local authorities, it shall, nevertheless, be
done by higher power.
Are there no bitter prejudicas and class
hatreds to be corrected at the North? Is
there no expedient needed there, also, by
which, if justice is refused by the local au-
thorities, it shall, nevertheless, be done by a
higher power? IL it not bad rule that
wont work both ways? Can we be expected
to love people that wont love us? Can
prejudices and hates be cured by arbitrary
and oppressive legislation? These are per-
tinent questions that we would be glad for
some candid man Of the Radical party to
answer. A fair consideration of them might
lead to salutary results.

IT is rumored that Hon. GEORGE LUNT,
of Boston, at present one of the editors Of
the Boston Posi-, has been appointed Profess
sor of Mental and Moral Philosophy in
Washington College, Va, OF which General
RoBERT Z. LEE is President We trust it
may prove true. Mr.. LUNF is 4 scholar Of
large requirements, and possesses an intel
lect of comprehensive grasp. He is ma
tional man in the true sense of the word.
Throughout the war, his journal maintained
lofty and independent tone, rebuking
without fear the malevolent fanaticism
which ragged around it and pointing to the
Constitution as the polar guide through all
the trouble. He is the author of recent
able and candid work upon the causes of the
war, which should be textbook to every
patriot. II he should determine to accept,
he would be welcomed to the "Old Domin-
ion" and hailed as worthy instructor of
Southern youth.

THE Connecticut election which takes
place on Monday next is attracting atten-
ton. English is the Conservative ard
johnson candidate. Hawley is the Radical
candidate Both parties are working like
beavers. Both have sought to bring admin
istration influence to bear in their favor.
Hawley and his friends while opposing the
President, have been attempting to cozen
him into an Endorsement, and hoodwink the
people who support the Presidents enlarged
and liberal policy, into their ranks. For
this purpose letters havu been written to
Washington, and Hawley himself has made
a pilgrimage. But the President under
stands the situation. A Hlwley postmaster
rendered his resignation, because he was
chairman of the Radical committee, and IL
toas accepted. Another postmaster support
ing English rendered his, md Il ,Oas declined.
What ANDREW JOHNSON doesn't know
about elections, is not worth knowing.
There's no Yankee in New England sharp
enough to teach him anything on this
subject.
The result in this State is doubtful. We
hope for the election of the Conservative
candidate, but fear that the fumes of th9hor-
rible intoxication which seized New Eng
land have not yet passed away.

WEpresume that Maj. LEWIS willnot deem
it necessary to reply to the last disjointed and
incoherent circular of the Radical candidate
In attempting to parry the statements of
Major LEWIS, he loses himself in the mazes
of confusion worse than COMPOUNDED, and
there he will remain until the voice of the
people on Saturday recalls him to his senses.
1t is well the election is so near at hand, for
each succeeding speech and circular shows
increasing weakening of the intellect Two
weeks more Of such a strain would put him
in the lunatic asylum.
Judge, do you know you are running
against Major LEWIS for seat in the Legis-
lature, and that the franchise bill is the
question before the people? You have made
one or two speeches and published several
circulars, but no one knows yet whether you
are in favor of the franchise bill or not. If
You have not parted with your senses en-
tirely, say yes or no, and have done with it

rBRowNLOw AND JOHNsON.1

We extract the following from the Vest
hche Post German paper OF St. Louis:
The well known Parson Brownlow, the actual
Governor ofTennessee, in a letter to Mr.. Kelley.
of Pennsylvania has declared his opposition to the
President most theoretically. Brownlow being
the very man that carried the nomination of Mr..
johnson at Baltimore. his opposition is very sig
niicant. The same BrOwnlow is aSw to tell the
same johnson. that he (Johnsonl is lost for the
Union party and is at the head of the rebels and
Democrats
Thus The traitor is judged in his own State. and
the Radical UniOnists all over the country will
repeat IL louder the reaction every day raises
its wicked head with greater impudence. What
need Is a strong RilitdrH or0dRizdtioR al oUer

the President to the Senate disappearing

that the views and actin Of the President
are sustained by an array Of logic and of
principles which must be inpregnable.

SOUTHERN WOMEN.

The dirty scribblers for the Northern
press, who, for stipend, are nosing it around
through the South like a hungry rat after a
a rainy day, hunting for something to feed
upon, are ill-at-ease whenever they get upon
the subject Of Southern women. They will
not dissemble. They have natural repug-
nance to this class of individuals, and they
speak it out. This is dreadful. One of these
travelling individuals has turned up at Ra-
leigh, North Carolina, and furnishes the
Cincinnati Commercial with his discoveries,
from which we extract the following:
"You win notice that the harsh remarks
have mentioned were made by Southern
women. not men. And therein we learn
lesson in human nature. 1t is conceded by
most writers, i believe, who have had any
thing 10 say on the spirit of the Southern
people, that the majority of those men who
fought in the rebel service, are not nearly
as far away from being reconstructed as the
latter day secessionists and stay-at-home
rebels. And as for the Southern women,
there is no doubt but they are as bad tenn
pered toward the North and yankees" as
they ever were.
You remember the times, so often quoted,
illustrating the obstinacy of the divine
SEX where the poet after remarking how
useless it is to endeavor to change their wills,
remarks:
For if they will, they WILL you may depend ont,
And If they won't, they won't and there's an end
ont"
And so ii will ever be. Some one said Of a
certain empire, that the Emperor ruled it,
but the Emperor's wife ruled him. Who
can tell how many Southerners were inhu-
enced by their wives and lady loves to en-
brace the doctrine of secession POLITICALLY of
course), and fight against the Union? Who
knows but what the wife of Calhoun him
self suggested State rights, while dreaming
Of her own? What a truly great thing 1t
would be if the future historian would
obtain proofs that il was in woman's and
not mans head, that the idea of secession
originated But ] have said enough on this
subject. j only know that as far as | have
seen here the women need to be reconstructed
more than the men,"

THE PRICE OF FEMALE LABOR IN
NEW YORK.

The people of the North are very much ex-
ercised about the low price of negro labor at
the South. The following paragraph from a
New York paper raises a question in our
mind as to the sincerity of their much talked
Daily union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1865-1866, 1866-03-30

An incident occurred a few days since, at the
Working Women's Union, No. so White street.
which will afford an illustration of the prices paid
for female labor, and the dire necessity which
compels them TO receive such compensation.
A neat, but poorly clad, woman applied for
work. On being questioned as to the nature of
had been making what are called hickory shirts
for a large firm down town, which must be thor
oughly finished for nine cents piece; and even
this small compensation afforded fifty cents per
dozen more than other firms were paying. The
poor woman had TX husband and three chill
dren to support; and feeling encouraged by the
promise Of fifty cents per dozen more than other
firms were paying she took a dozen home and
commenced work. After working faithfully all
day, she received the result of her labor four
teen cents. IL is to assist such women as these
that the Union was established; and it is TO be
hoped that the public will award it a support
commensurate with its noble designs.
