Congress, approved June 9th, 1866, makes
numerous changes in the pension laws, and
in many instances increases the amount paid
to the pensioner Under the new act, for
instance, all persons who, while in the Mill
tary or naval service, and in the line of duty,
shall have lost the sight ofboth eyes, or who
shall have lost both hands, or been perma-
nently and totally disabled in the same, or
otherwiseso permanently and totally disabled
as to render them utterly helpless, will be en-
titled to pension of $25 per month. Others
who have been disabled in the manner above
described, but not requiring constant person
al aid an attention, will be entitled to $40
per month.
Those who have lost one foot, or been to-
tally and permanently disabled in the ser
vice, will be entitled to pension OF Sl5 per
month. The other provisions of the bill re-
late to the execution of the papers, as well as

PENTTENTIARY I

MIR. EDITOR IL furnish YOU COPY
OF Senate Bill, No. so, session of 1865.
'66, to establish P enitentiary in this
State, which l hope you will publish in
the Fsoneer, and that the other papers
IN the State will please copy, iii order
that the attention ofthe people through
out the State may be called to that sub
Ject.-The principal objections urged
against the passage of the bill were,
want of means, and that the question
had not been discussed before the peo-
pie. Therefore, members hesitated about
voting on the subject without some In
structions from their constituents.
The bill was prepared to ol,viate the
first objection, so far as it could be
done, by requiring most of the labor to
be performed by convicts themselves.
This Communication and publication of
the bill, is designed to relieve members
OF the next Legislature from the other
objection, by calling on their constitu-
ents in all parts Of the State to speak
out on that subject either for or against
Penitentiary. | do not propose to ar
que the question at this time, one way
or the other, nor claim any particular
merit for this particular plan, but mere
ly to direct public attention to sub
ject that J regard as of vast Importance
to the whole State, hoping that if this
plan is not practicable, that some better
one may be devised by the wise men
of the State.
Although have promised not to dis
cuss the question, am scarcely refrain
from suggesting to those who doubt the
propriety of State Penitentiary, that
if they will examine the State dockets
for true bills and presentments made by
the grand juries fora single term of the
court, they will agree that we need
something to restrain our people from
crime. Then the punishment for crime
might be better graded l believe a
man is subjected to 80 lashes on the
bare back, for stealing a pocket knife,
and the same punishment for stealing a
horse. five had State Penitentiary,
presume the punishment for horse
stealing would be for much longer SER
vice than for that of pocket knife and
so of manslaughter, and almost all
crimes have their grades, and could be
punished more equitably, and more hui
namely, and generally with better re-
suits, by confinement at labor, than by
branding and whipping, as is now done
in this State.
The city and county warehouses that
this bill proposes to authorize, is already
disposed of by the passage ofthe county
work-house bill is reported by the Com
missioners on the Freedman's code.
The question of a Penitentiary OF no
Penitentiary for the State is what l wish
to call public attention to at present,
disconnected with party and party poll
tics altogether.
Yours, &c,
L. S. CASH.
P. S.-This bill failed to pass the
Senate by only two majority against it

TRINITY COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT,

The annual Commencement at Trinity
came off last Thursday This College is sit
uated in the northwest corner of Randolph
County, the most loyal County, perhaps, in
the State, but strange to say, the College
people from the influence of bad training or
some evil genius, never have been particular
ly troubled with loyalty They are ardent
Worth men and women too, and believe that
their dear Confederacy is 'not dead, but
sleepeth." But they are not secessionists-
never were; and think livery hard That they
are not admitted to all the rights and priv
lleges of American citizens. For 10 is not
this our country9 Why were you not there,
Holden2 They had a good time. Vance
was there, and Gov. Worth, and other good
disloyal men of less notoriety.
Vance, you know, is unpardoned and
owes to the clemency of the government the
privilege of wearing his reasonable head for
day but he, Zebulon, whom treason has
made odious and whom traitors delight to
honor, and Jonathan, who sold himself for
the Governorship, were there in gersonae pro
Prie;; and were listened to with rapt aston
ishment and delight by the Southern toad
eaters, who came from all quarters to hear
them preach the funeral of their late loved
"And-still they gazed and still the wonder grew,
That two small heads could carry all they knew
1t was Vances earnest conviction that the
Confederacy and all its martyred followers
had gone to paradise, where Union men and
Yankees never go, with their reconstruction
and peace principles And this is our coun-
try and we ought to be in the Union.
Every thing signifed a settled determine
ton to sustain the right of secession and
ylndicate the rebellion. Vance advised the
people to be submissive to the government,
odious and contemplate as it is. When the
manned student arose to declaim, the Presi-
dent DIR. Craven, observed to the spectators
that that young man was wounded in the
front rank at the battle of Rheims Station,
bravely charging the Yankee vandals; and
yet this Is our country, and that is our coun-
try's glory.
But the most significant thing occurred
during the recess, and just before Vance de-
livered his speech. The large painting of
Gen. Washington was taken down from the
wall by Confederate lady and that OF jeff.
Davis hung up in its place. And this is our
country, and we wonder why they don't re-
ceive us back in the Union
While the power is withheld from traitors
we don't apprehend any danger to the Union
cause. Treason and conspiracy that could
not be sustained by war can't succeed now
but people should have more regard for de
cency and propriety. Fools can tear down.
but it requires wisdom to build up. If jeff
Davis is released and rebels allowed to vote
and hold Office, then the Union cause is gone
forever, and secession will be recognized as
being right RANDOLPH.

NASHVILLE, June 1.-The Press and Times
will tomorrow publish the following procla-
the Legislature:
/" To the members of the General assembly of
the State Of Tennessee.
"GENTLEMEN: For mora than five years the
State of Tennessee has been deprived of her
privileges in the Union Of our fathers. By
the treason ofonr people we have fallen from
our high estate as members of the great Amer
can confederacy. For more than year past
the loyal people ofthe State have been trying
to place her in position, and to prove her wor-
thy to be recognized and Omitted to all her
forfeited rights. Our Senators and Repre-
sentatives have fingered for many months at
the threshold of the Government, asking to
be reinstated in the national councils. In
view of the rebellious conduct of so many of
our people, and treachery of those who con-
trolled her action, Congress has deemed it ne
cessary to require of us certain conditions
precedent as guarantees for our future loyalty.
To do this it has been deemed necessary that
the State Legislature should r;,tify certain
amendments to the Constitution of the United
States, which may be briefly stated as fol-
lows: (" 1. Equal protection Of all citizens in
the enjoyment Of life, liberty, and property.
"2. That class who are disfrancised with
GU. crime shall not be taken into account in
fixing the basis of Federal representation.
49, That certain persons who have proved
themselves dangerous to the peace ofthe coun-
try shall not be eligible to Office
"a The validity of the national debt shall
not be questioned, while all debts incurred in
aid of the rebellion are illegal and void.
"As to the disloyal portion of our people,
these terms are mild in the extreme. 1t is
hoped that there is nothing in them repugnant
to the sentiments Of the loyal, or if there be,
that all objections will be yielded upon the
| altar of our common country.
| Therefore, l, VIM. G. Brownlow, Governor
of the State of Tennessee, in consideration of
the premises and viewing the present as an
extraordinary occasion, do issue this my pro-
clanation, converting the General Assembly,
in extraordinary session, to consider the afore-
said amendments to the Federal Constitution,
and do callupon the members thereof assem-
BILE in the State Capitol on Wednesday, July
A. 1866, when and where the purposes for
! which they will have been convened will be
more fully stated to them"
