A Devils Jubilee.

Tompkins edits paper called the NeaoS,
at McGregor in Iowa. Here's his style:
''There is music in hell, and devils
dance Southern traitors shout, Northern
Copperheads exult, aud assassins lift their
blood red hands with joy. And we'll they
may; for another Judas has made pre-
emption claim in Pandemonium; another
tyrant has reached the throne of empire;
another Southern traitor has obtained pow
err, and torn off the mask he wore while
seeking it; another Copperhead, long hid
den beneath the grass, has uncoiled himself,
and struck his fangs in the hearts of those
who came to drink at freedoms Fountain;
another assassin has appeared upon the
(public) stage, and from the very seat
given by the people to the murdered Lin
coin, triumphanhy and defandy brandishes
his weapons in the face of Congress, the
people and the world.
''The events and disclosures of the past
six days have convinced all who are not
blind to see anything, that devil. daring
as Lucifer, challenges the powers of Heaven
to combat that traitor more base than
Judas, has sold his friends, if not for silver,
for promised Office and coveted power; that
a traitor, guiltier than Davis, has, TO the
utmost of his power, betrayed the nations
interests and the liberties of mankind into
the hands of their enemies; that Copper
head of Sinner mould and deadlier fangs
than Vallandigham ever possessed, has un-
ooiled and bitten the bosom that nourished
and warmed it into life; and that an assas-
sin, beside whose crime the crime of Booth
sinks into insignifcance, now desecrates
the Office which Washington, Jackson and
Lincoln made glorious and sacred, and
taught the world to honor. We write these
words with calmness and deliberation, with
out anger, and with steady nerves.
Poor Tompkins, he's one of the "wor-
ried,"

The following paragraph appeared in

The following paragraph appeared in the
ashYille Union" Of Tuesday:
Capt. Williams rose to a question ofpriy-
ilege, the occasion being most violent at
. tack upon him by the Knoxville Wing. At
ter he had concluded his remarks, in which
he proved the Governor to have wilfully falls
fled in reference to several matters connee-
ted with the Slate government, Gen. James
p. Brownlow, Adjutant Gen'l of the State
and one of the family" went up to him
and challenged him to fight. This attempt
to intimidste a legislator is of piece with
the radical policy If man objects to any
Of their high handed measures, he is at once
vilifed and slandefed by them in the most
outrageous manner. It is evident however
that Jim Brownlow picks his man. Col.
Garrett used much severer language toward
the Governor than did Capt. Williams; but
Jim said not word, the reason being that
Garrett was fighting man. We admire
Jim's discretion; he never challenges man
who he believes will try the virtue of cold
lead with him. ...,
1t is evident from the exhibition made
Yesterday, that the Governor thinks that he
can scare the people and compel them to
cease to criticise his course; but he is de-
cidedly mistaken; he is not half so terrible
as he believes himself 10 be. Jim can do as
he will, but he can't "skeer" white folks.
Jim took offence at the article attacked
its author, Mr.. Woodruff, local editor oftho
Union, with revolver in hand, Mr.. Wood
ruff confronted the gentleman(D with six
m E
of words, and we suppose the Generals
honor is vindicated.
Capt. Williams said in his speech, that
he entered the Federal army as private,
and while he was fighting for his country,
Brownlow was up North harrangueing the
people about his sufferings and begging
them for aid. Now he is an Internal old
traitor because he doesn't act with the rad
ical Brownlow faction.

Nashville Banner on the Franchise Bill

Nashville Banner on the Franchise Bill.
There never was in any Assembly or in
any age of the world measure of Iegisla-
ton carried as the Franchise Bill was car
ried on Thursday morning by the Radical
revolutionists and rioters Of the House of
Representatives.
They assemble without quorum; they
overrule the decisions Of their presiding
officer; they select out of a number of rep
reseutatives chosen at the same time, under
tRe same proclamation, and by the same
sople, four to suit their purposes; they
sSs>sthesA sur to tbs exclusion of the rest;
they the ayas organized, and
pass law dis g everybody, and
keeping themselves IN Office for life; and
all against the known will of nine-tenths of
the Union people of the State, to say moth
ing of the mass of the population.
If this be not depriving the people by
sheer force, without law or color of justif-
cation, of the Republican form of Govern
ment, guaranteed by the Constitution. we are
at loss to describe it for what it is.
There can be no argument against such
violence as this; and we do not propose to
insult the intelligence of our readers by
making more than the self evident PROPOSE
tions arising out of a case so menstrous and
unparalleled.
That it is illegal.
That it is revolutionary 10 the very last
degree. a
That it demands action, the most en-
pbatic, from the people in their primary
capacity.
And that if this species of usurpation is
submitted to, it will be followed up by acts
of desperation, the like of which was not
known during the. height Of the Reign of
Terror in France, depriying the people of
social and industrial, as well as political
freedom, and building up in our midst a
despotism as bigoted as that of Nero or
Henry VIII.
The rightful majority in the House of
Representatives. headed by Mr.. Speaker
Heiskell, owe it, to itself; to civil liberty;
and to the people, to go at once in body to
Washington and lay the whole case before
the President of the United States, and the
Congress of the United States. and to i'm
plore them, in the name of justice, to dehv-
er us from tie hands OF despolism which
represents nothing, IS reckless of conse-
quences and regardless Of law.
The statement which could be made by
such a body of men would astound the
most Radical members of Congress; it
would amaze the world; and at the same
time the demonstration would command
respect and attention.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore San says, in his letter of the 9th
instant:
1.-THE President in preparing to execute
the civil rights bill viii he obliged to call
upon Congress for modification of the test
oath, which all officers appointed under the
law must take The army of commission
ers, whose number is unlimited, must be
sent from the North, unless the test oath
be SO modified as to enable Southern citi-
zens to accept the office. The President
viii not appoint citizens promiscuously, ac
cording to the spirit of the bill, to these
Offices. The question must soon be made,
under this law whether the citizenship
which it confers upon the blacks and upon
the Chinese and the gipsies, &c, does not
entitle them to hold Office. The construc-
ZION of the bill in several particulars is still
a matter of dispute, and it must be settled
by appeals to the United States Supreme
Court
A very intelligent opinion obtains that in
a practical point of view, there is scarcely
a probability of injurious results flowing
from the law itself, as, long before it could
operate to the serious injury of the people,
it will be repealed or pronounced by the
Supreme Court unconstitutional
