Recovering from War.

We have repeatedly maintained the
ground that Tennessee, under good sys
tenn Of government, will very rapidly regain
her former, and more than her former, en-
viable prosperity. We frequently, however,
hear very opposite views expressed by
friends who see nothing but long state of
depression and poverty as the result of the
recent rayages of war. We would commend
to their consideration the following passage
from the North British Review for Septem
Der, 1865:
''Yet more astonishing than Frederc's
management of the war was the way in
which Prussia. under his guidance, recov-
cred from its effects. The state of the
country at the close of the Seven Years
conflict is not easy to be imagined. The
population had been decreased by ten per
cent; wide tracts of country lay desolate.
the villages were depopulated; the fields
were -uncultivated; at best, only womeB
and children remained to follow the plaugh.
The very seed corn had been devoured.--
The towns were hardly in better plight than
the country. In Berlin itself third part
of the population was supported by aims.
But it the guilty ambition of Frederic had
reduced his country to this point Of misery,
it is only fair to add that his industry and
administrative capacity soon raised her GU.
of it. In some three or four years, Prussia
was restored to comparative prosperity
There could hardly be more interesting or
instructive study than to inquire carefully
how this was DONE
A wise, efficient, paternal government,
seconded by an industrious, thrifty people,
accomplished the marvel. We may and do
confidently hope that the same causes will
now century later produce like effects in
our own land.
Already we see most tangible proofs Of
such workings in this goodly State. Rail-
roads have been rebuilt and reopened with
astonishing rapidity; agricultural opera
lions are vigorously carried on from Shelby
to Carter; mining ard manufacturing pro-
jects are being pushed forward with great
zeal; and the financial resources of the
State so skillfully conducted as to enable
the public creditors 10 receive their July
interest in par funds. July !, 1864, who
among our many readers would have antici-
pated all this?-NaShviHe Dispatch.

Mr. ArneII and His Two once.


We raised the point seveaal days ago
whether Mr.. Arnell could legally hold a
seat as Representative in the Legislature of
Tennessee, inasmuch as he claimed to be
the Representative in Congress from the
sixth district, and had the commission of
the Governor certifying to his election
We fud in report of the proceedings of
the United States House of Representatives,
on the goth ult, the following:
"Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, rising to
a question of privilege, said that the Com
mittee on Elections had bad under consider
alton the credentials Of the following gentle
men claiming to be Representatives elect
from the State of Tennessee, viz: A. g.
Taylor, of the First District; Horace May
nard, Second District; w B. Stokes, Third
District; Edmund Cooper, Fourth District;
w. P. Campbell, Fifth District; S. NJ.
Arnell, Sixth District; J. R. Hawkins,
Seventh District, and J. w. Leftwich.
Eighth District, and had found the said
credentials correct and in due form, and in
accordance with the laws of the United
States and of the State of Tennessee. He
was further directed by the committee to
move that the oath of Office be administered
to the gentlemen named"
The motion of Mr.. Dawes was agreed to,
and such of the Representatives from this
State as were then present took the oath
and were admitted to seats. Had Mr., Ar
nell been present, he would have taken a
seat also. A motion, or a resolution was
adopted, we believe, to pay the Representa-
tives from Tennessee their salary for the
full term, under which Mr.. Arnell will draw
pay for the same time for which he has re-
ccived pay from Tennessee as a Represen-
tative in her Legislature. Our constitution
provides that no 'person holding any Office
under the authority Of the United States
shall have a seat in the General Assembly;
nor shall any person in this State hold
more than one lucrative Office at the same
time" This provision covers Mr.. Arnell's
case exactly. He is clearly Ineligible to a
seat in the Legislature, and has been since
he accepted the certificate of the Governor
that he was elected And yet he has con-
tnued to occupy his seat and to vote upon
every important measure. According to
our constitution. every such vote is illegal.
D. B. Thomas. Esq, was elected to the
seat to which Mr.. ArnelI has been declared
entitled, by majority of 455 votes over
Arnel, but the Governor assumed to do
what the constitution of the United States
vests alone in the House of Representatives,
to Judge of these returns.and he threw off
enough votes to enable him to give the GER
tificate to Mr.. Arnell. Mr.. Thomas is
clearly entitled to the seat, but the Radical
majority in the Mouse will probably never
give it to him.-Dispatch.

THE night session of the House of Rep
resentatives. lasting until Saturday MORN
ing, was filed with disgusting scenes
Liquor flowed pretty freely from several
committee rooms, and the result was fully
exhibited Oh the floor of the House. In one
instance teIlers were appointed who were
unable to stand in their places; and the &C
count they reported to the House ran
hundred over quorum. Members voted
early and often to make it appear that a
quorum was present. Jokes were related
and stories told. A dozen or so members
at one time had pitched battles with paper
wads, books, ETC., which were flung through
the air in the hall.

Alarmed.

A foreign correspondent writes: "The
unlocked for, and so to speak, brutal ener-
gy of the Prussians in the commencement
of the campaign, united to their superior
fire arms, have done the work. The EN-
peror Napoleon is furious with his officers
for having refused as useless the breech
loading guns. If it had been France, in
stead of Austria, which was in the war
with Prussia, France, like Austria, would
have been beaten. The very sh ought makes
the hair stand on his Majesty's head, and
well it may The order has already been
given to furnish the French army with these
guns, with the greatest possible rapidity.
In may now even be too late, for French
workmen do their work so well, and they
carry new ideas into execution so slowly,
that the question of the Rhine may yet be
decided against France, and all on account
of these guns. -

Riot and BIoodshed.

There was a bloody riot 10 New Orleans
on the SOth uIf.,s resulting from an attempt
Of TIE Governor Of Louisiana to reassemble
the State convention of 1864, with the
aVowed purpose of enfranchlsing negroes
and DISTINGUISHING rebels. The convention
was elected in 1864, while the war was in
progress, and the State under military rule
1t accomplished the purposes for which it
was elected, and has long since been de-
funct body. But the radical Governor, In
violation of all precedent, and ia utter dis
regard of honor or law, issued a proclama-
ton ordering elections to ell vacancies in
che said convention. This proclamation
was illegal from the fact that the Secretary
Of State refused to countersign it or permit
the seal Of State to be attached. The Lieut..
Gov, the Secretary Of State, the Attorney
General, the Auditor and State Treasurer,
who were all elected on the same ticket with
Gov. Wells, united in protesting against the
act of the Governor in his attempt to over
throw the government of the State by law
lees and revolutionary measure, and their
remonstrance went to Washington.
A meeting preliminary to the convention
was held in New Orleans, at which the
worst kind of incendiary speeches were
made by negro-worshipers, advising them
that they had a better right to Office in
Louisiana than the rebels, and to arm them
selves and assert their superiority. Reso-
lutiOns were passed demanding equality for
the. negro in the State government.
Upon the heels of this incendiary meet
ing the convention assembled, and a row
gotten up among themselves. The police
went to preserve order-were fred on-and
a bloody fight ensued, in which twenty-five
were killed and one hundred and fifty
wounded. The Governor. President of the
convention. and members thereof are being
arrested The police was sustained by the
military, by order of President Johnson,
aud martial law has been temporarily pro-
claimed in the city.
