THE LEGIsLATURE IN A mUss.


Quite a scene occurred in the House on
yesterday, during the pending of .he.fran-
chise bill. The vote being taken on the
third reading, after the call Of the previous
question, it was ascertained that quorum
was not present. This fact was supposed to
have been the result of previous under
standing on the part Of absent members. Mr..
Mullins, the member from Bedford, in an
excited manner, charged the venerable
Speaker with some completely in the matter,
with the view Of postponing action on the
bill; whereupon, the Speaker in very en-
phatic manner characterized the charge
as false. Mr.. Mullins replied in terms
equally severe, which was responded to by
the honorable Speaker by throwing his gavel
at the head Of Mr.. Mullins. This brought
the entire House to their feet. An indies
crible scene ensued. Epithets were freely
exchanged, and during the uproar pistols
were drawn. We are gratifed to state,
however, that the scene passed off without
bloodshed, and the House dissolved with
their usual dignity. What a blessing it
would have been to the State If their adj
journment had been sine die.

THE rwo PER CENT. TAX.

When the Legislature gets through with
the question of Acknowledgement the Bank
OF Tennessee and the March elections, we
respectfully recommend to their attention
the two per cent. tax on merchandise. Every
day that it stands upon the statute books, it
is drawing the commercial blood of Tennes-
see-an element in the business health of
the State, which they are as much interested
in as any other equal number of citizens.
The necessity Of its repeal is so apparent
that nobody can fail to see it-and we Jun
dertake TO say that no friend of the true in
terests Of the State viii oppose it. Come,
gentlemen, there is nothing political in this
it is purely matter Of business in which
all are alike interested. Give us, at least,
one tolerable statute-besides private incor-
rorafionc

THE TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE AND
TIE RAGE FOR MONOPOLIES.

The most enormous frauds and the most
fragrant outrages that have ever been per-
petrated upon the public of this and other
countries has been by means Of monopolies,
resulting from the special and exclusive
privileges granted toincorporated companies.
Chartered companies, for public uses, are
frequently necessary; but as they confer
upon the parties exclusive privileges denied
TO the rest Of the citizens, they are never
justiGable upon any other ground.
So great are the advantages resulting from
the privileges that are thus conferred, that
the Courts with all their watchfulness, and
the Legislators Of the country with all their
experience and wisdom, have not been able
to protect the people against the rapidly in
creasinC tendency 10 thus invest a few with
the rights Of the many, and to build up in the
land powerful and unprincipled monopoles
with wealth and advantages that enable
them 10 control the markets, crush out the
public efforts of individual enterprise, and
even control the public voice, in great
measure, of people who, while feeling their
wrongs, are often inundated from giving
expression TO their convictions.
Some years since the Legislature of Ten
nessee, acting undez the influence of the
people behind them, and to get rid of the
great expense and trouble incident to the
many applications that are made at every
session for the granting Of charters, framed
general law, under which all such incor-
porations as were in harmony with the pub
lie interests could be secured without special
legislative grant.
This law is still upon the statute book, but
we supposethe present Legislature is ignorant
Of the fact as we see il stated, which we are
satisfied is true, that they have already in
corporated, and are taking steps TO incorpo-
rate, more Of these soulless companies with
fewer guards against abuse, than any similar
body has done in the history of Tennessee.
This is great outrage upon the people,
the evils Of which il will be exceedingly
difficult for them through subsequent Legis-
latures 70 get rid OF.
Every rascal who has a desire TO get adj
vantage Of the public in this way regards
the present Legislature as admirably adapted
TO his purpose. Never was there such a
good time for getting any kind Of charter
through Tennessee Legislature. The har-
pies are scenting afar of, and are coming in
from other States. Thousands of dollars, if
necessary, will be expended. We would
not be surprised If they heightened the ses-
sion beyond any precedent. God save the
people who are to be the victims of this
specious system of legislative corruption.

THE Radical organ Of this city has mania
upon the subject of teaching. Its editor
was formed and fashioned in country where
teachers are made to order, and upon the
same principle that wooden nutmegs are
made. His diatribes on this subject remind
us of young man of literary turn of mind
cup North" who lately visiteda free school
in New York, and "lectured" on education.
He said; "Young ladies and gentlemen,
you are gathered here for the purpose of
obtaining an education. Education consists
in being educated to respect education, learn
ing and education. Education teaches us
that education comprises all things learned
from education. Educate yourselves, and
when you have good education, you will
bless the day that you learned a good educa-
ton"

THRoUeH all the throes of revolution, in
tellectual and physical, which our country
has passed in the last. quarter of century,
no one occupying the Executive chair Of the
nation and having to deal with the mad ele-
ments of discord that have at times shaken
our political fabric TO its base, has ever
spoken so much with the mein and measure
of the stern old Hero Of the Hermitage rs
ANDREW JOHNSON. There is in the follow
ing sentence, which occurs in his recent re-
marks to the Virginia delegation, piih and
power that will so fasten itselfupon the minds
Of the people, that it will be recurred to in

A heavy defalcation has been brought to
light in the office Of the United States Sub
Treasurer in San Francisco, committed early
in January by William Macy, cashier in the
Office. So FAR as discovered, the defalcation
amounts to about $4,000, of which s., 900 is
in currency, and the balance in gold. The
defaulter has absoonded to parts unknown,
thereby acknowledging his guilt which,
however, is absolutely proven by the evil
dences he left behind him. William Macy
is young man no, over % years Of age,
and brother-in-lAw of Mr.. Cheeseman, the
Treasurer, who for two or three months has
been in the East.

THE Radicals are placing special en-
phasis upon the late remark of the President
10 the effect that only loyal men should be
intrlsted with the management of public
affairs. Judge TRIGG announced officially,
as long ago as last October, in his charge to
the Grand Jury of the United States Court
in this city that there was not rebel Tin all
Of Tennessee. The President had previously
granted a general amnesty, with certain
exceptions-thus admitting TO the,rights of
loyal citizens all who complied with its con-
ditions-and has since granted special par
dons TO hundreds of those who were excepted.
Has the President been thus employed in
receiving into the body polite the enemies
of the government? His own view of the
matter is palpable. He says he is rilling TO
trust those who are loyal, and refers to his
own sign manuel for the designation of
those whom he considers so. II the oligar-
chists find comfort in this, they are welcome

THE spE9r.CrE PRESENTED.

From the Philadelphia Age.l
The Maryland Journal, noticing the meet
ing of the State Convention to secure the
abolition of the registration laws, with their
test oaths and proscriptiye operation, says:
"T'hree.foarths of the people of this State
asking one-fourth to give them a share in the
government Of the State What spectacle"
Not there alone is the spectacle presented.
Look at Congress Fifteen States are ex-
cluded from representation, while minority
of Congress-taking advantage of this ex-
clusion to proclaim itself two-thirds of the
organization, sets about altering the funda-
mental basis Of representation, so that when
these States are admitted it will be with cur
tailed proportions Look at Missouri, with
its oaths of conformity, its clergymen and
school-mistresses in Jail, and the minority
carrying on war of vidictiveness and ex-
clusion against the majority. Look at New
York-its cities deprived of the right of
selfgoyernment and placed under commits
sions acting by exterior authority, without
accountability to the people, yet with the
power of laying indefinite taxes upon them.
Since the Eruption of the party now in
power, what multitude of schemes What
suspensions Of law, what disregard of per-
sonal rights and popular franchises what
reckless expenditure Yet amidst all the
confusion of an apparently passionate strug
gle, what persistent and cunning purpose to
elevate and enrich class at the expense of
the people An exclusive Tariff, the aggre-
CATION of an overwhelming debt, the seizure
Of the public lands, the exemption of the
moneyed corporations from taxation, and the
organization of the Committees of Congress
so as to place its legislation in the hands of
the privileged classes.
The enemy took the hour of National
darkness and Of Civil War, to seize upon
this dishonest gain, and TO strike blow in
the dark at popular institutions-just as
Napoleon seized on the same moment to
strike down a sister Republic and place an
Austrian Prince on the Fictitious throne of
Mexico.
This the spectacle presented everywhere
in Washington, at the Capitols of the
States, in the governments of the Cities,
wherever the Anti-Democratic party have
control As the smoke and lurid light Of
War fades away, and the situation presents
itself in its real colors, the People will re-
alize the iuggler's trick of which they have
been the victim, and they will boot from the
stage the moumtebanks who havepreyed upon
their credulity in order to pilfer from their
pockets.

THE letter of Andrew johnson to Tam
many Hall, in reply to the invitation to
attend the festival in commemoration of the
victory Of New Orleans, exasperates the bile
of the Chicago Tribune.
What the factionist dislikes in the letter
Of President johnson, is his recognition of
the event as one to which reunited breth-
ren in every portion of the Republic can
recur with equal qualification and pride"
This noble sentiment too, is irksome to one
who looks with horror at the restoration Of
the Union. We quote it from the same
letter:
Tho inspiration derived from the contemplation
of common trials, common victories and national
traditions sacrodly cherished by every American,
cannot fail 20 exert an important influence in
healing the irritations Of sectional wounds and
strengthening the feeling of devotion 10 the Fed
eral Union, the maintenance and preservation Of
which, in all its dignity and purity. was the sole
aim Of the intrepid and incorruptiblo patriot.
Andrew jackson.
Yet, Andrew johnson is never so much
like Andrew jackson as when he utters SEN
timents like these, or places his firm foot
down in defence Of positions so national and
vet so Democratic.

THERE is undoubtedly desire, on the part
of the enemies Of good government in Con-
grcss, TO impeach the President for the val
liable services he has rendered TO the cause
Of constitutional liberty. We should regret
If the same could be truly said of the follow
ers of Sumner and Stevens in Tennessee.
Let them impeach. 1t is probably as short
a route as any to the solution of the great
question of the day--whioh is whether we
shall have a constitutional government or an
absolute despoiism.

do not intend 10 say any thing personal, but
at the beginning Of the present gigantic struggle
between the different sections, North and South.

have opposed that system always; / oppose it
now.-Andreto johnson.
What is the Union? 1t is confedera-
ton of separate and Independent States,
resting upon a written Constitution.
Who is hammering the Union? Those
who seek to change the form of govern
ment by overriding the guaranteed rights
Of the minority and by forced amendments
to the Constitution.
Who is hammering the Union? Those
who seek to perpetuate military establish
ment among people intended to be free.
Who is hammering the Union? Those
who, unwilling to bury the dissentions of
the past, persist in keeping alive the fires of
discord by unjust prescription, denying to
the great body of the people voice in the
management Of their own domestic affairs.
Who is hammering the Union? Those
wild Eutopians, who, regardless of the ex-
perience of the past or the dangers of the
future, are persisting in the reimbursement
of the negro and the political degradation
Of the white man.
Such men are the political lepers of So
ciety; the jackalls of human shape; the
living representatives ofmadness and mean
ness; the common enemies of social order
and political welfare. Homogeneous and un-
natural in the very elements of their be-
ing, they live upon the misfortunes of others
and shine in the very darkness of their own
infamy and disgrace. Political bigots, of
whom it would be charity to say, they mis-
take their own rancor for the conclusions Of
craftsmanship.

A HOPELESS INDUIDUAL.-A correspon-
dent from Mobile, writing to Buffalo paper
and speaking of the people of the South,
says:
IKE policy Of reconstruction now going on is
work thrown away. Ii will never succeed. They
ought never 20 be represented in Congress until
this generation shall have passed away, for they
never will be loyal until they are dead"
We venture the assertion that this fellow
has been stealing cotton, or is looking out
for chance of running negroes to Cuba.
