lature Of Tennessee The right of each
House, under the Constitution, to Judge Of
the elections, returns, and qualifications of
its own members, is undoubted, and my app
proval or disapproyal of the resolution could
not. 10 the slightest degree, increase or dinain-
ish the authority in this respect conferred
upon the two branches of Congress.
In conclusion, i cannot too earnestly repeat
my Recommendation for the admission of Ten
nessee, aud all other States, to fair and
equal participation IN national Legislation,
when they present themselves in the persons
of loyal Senators aud Representatives, who
can comply with all the requirements Of the
Constitution and the laws. BY this means;

MEssAaH

We publish in our paper to-day the Mes
sage of President johnson, giving the reasons
which induced him to sign the joint resolution
passed by Congress, declaring Tennessee SIRE
stored to her former practical relations to the
Union, and again entitled TO be represented
by Senators and Representatives. Congress"
The Communication is plain. forcihle aud
logical, and while denying the correctness
both the principle and the chief fact on which
Congress pretends TO act in the matter, he
reminds that body that his approval is not
to be construed as an acknowledgment of the
right of Congress to pass laws preliminary to
the admission of duly qualified representatives
from any CT the States.
The Richmond Disputch thus refers
to the mode aud manner in which this able
and dfguifed Document was received by the
radical Rump Congress to whom it was sent,
as the Constitution required -
The Presidents Message on the Tennessee
question was received .oith deristUe Iau4Ilteg
by the Radicals amI cheers Gy tie Democrats.
So say the congressional reporters. The.
scene was a feature of the times Such a.
one was impossible in the Congress of other
days When that body consisted OF honest,
sincere, and dignifed PATRIOTS. decorum
worthy of the representatives of great con
federation of States was invariably observed
in all its proceedings and all its acts. A
change has come over the assemblage-a
change wrought by an entire different class
of men, elected by deluded constituency,
whose minds have been poisoned with false
philosophy and embittered by the sectional
agitation of fanatical and venal orators. The
result is that selfish, ill-bred, violent, and
corrupt men gil the public places The
dignity and decorum of the Legislators have
gone with the honesty, integrity, and devotion
to the public good which marx ed their history
in the carly days of the Republic, 1t is im-
possible that government where such men
remain long in the ascendant eau have peace
and order. 1t takes no philosopher to know
that stability and endurance are utterly in.
compatible with such state of the representa-
tive character in republic. The only hope
is in reforming it.

JEFFERSON AND BERRTLEY,

We are gratifed to hear that Judge Curtis,
of. Massachusetts,, the leading counsel en-
pieged by Yirgihin to contest the claim of
West Virginia to the counties of Jefferson
and Berkeley is industriously engaged in the
preparation of the case. He has prepared
the bill to be fled on the chancery side of the
Supreme Court, before which it goes as an
original case, and it is now in the hands of
printers. We hope shortly to obtain copy
of this bill for publication, as we.are sure that
it will be deeply interesting to our readers
The Judge has expressed his opinion upon
two or three points of the case, and is clear
that the transfer cannot stand the test of the
tribunal by which it is to be tried.
II occurs, to US as proper that the judge
should have assistant counsel, and we hope
thatthe proper functionaries will consult his
wishes on the subject. 1t has been suggest
ed thata Virginia lawyer should be employed.
We know of no one of the State, now having
the right to practice in the Supreme Court,
to whom We would be willing to entrust
cause Of so much Importance; but as it is
likely the court will pronounce its decision of
the unconstitutionality Of the test oath crca-
ted by Congress, thus. opening Its doors to
all of our lawyers, we must say that We know
of no one in the State so eminently fit to aid
the Judge as Mr.. And. Huuter,o Of this place.

p1sFRICT CONVENTIONS.

The Conservative Union Men of Sd Con-
gressional District, West Virginia, hold. a
District Convention at Piedmont, tomorrow,
for the purpose of appointing Delegates to
represent the Districtin the proposed National
Convention to be held in Philadelphia. We
hope men may be appointed, worthy of the
name and fame of good old Virginia, and the
Conservative delegates from our own county,
by general attendance, can effect much in
bringing about SO desired result.
We have heard the name ofJudge JOHN
w, KENNEDY suggested as one Of the
Delegates TO the proposed Convention. OF
the good or bad results ofthe Convention in
Philadelphia, time will determine, but we
shall hope for the best, as the present ,eoudi-
ton of things may possibly be bettered and
scarcely worsted.

England on the. War.

Mr.. DIsRAELI made a speech to his con
stituents of Buckinghamsbire on the 18th
July. As he is Chancellor of the Exchequer,
ofthe Derby Ministry, hisspeech was regarded
with interest, With reference to the war in
Europe, he said that, in his opinion, in none
of the issues now at stake in that war twas
there any necessity for the interference of
England" In his view, he placed that
country quite independent of the affairs of
Europe. He declared that England had
''outgrown the European Contincnt;" that
she was great maritime empire, extending
to the boundaries of the furthest ocean
7 While he confessed that a condition of peace
on the continent was best for England. and
that she would feel interest in the struggle
then going on upon the subject of the boun-
DIARIES of the Continental Powers; and while
no country had interfered in rational affairs
more than England, or had stronger reasons
to interiors, he intimated that she ought not
to do so until her vital interests were attacked
or her independence menaced But at this
time, said he, sit is clearly our. best course
in regard to those great and powerful
(Enropean) States whose interests are i'm
mediately and directly involved to leave them
amongst themselves to settle their own affairs"
This is pretty clear; yet Earl Derby put
somewhat different feature upon the duty
of England. He said in his speech to the
House of Lords: II trust that the past policy
of this country will not be so entirely departed
from as that we shall refrain from taking an
interest in the Independence of certain
great Powers of England. France, and Russia
are agreed, it will be in. the interests of peace
and to secure the Independence of the lesser

THos. tErFEnsov, in letter to JoHN
TAYLOR, of Caroline, Va, june, 1898. said :
''It is true that we are completely under
the saddle of Massachusetts, and Connecticut,
and they ride us very hard, cruelty insulting
our feelings, as well as exhaustingour strength
and subsistence. Their natural friends, the
three other Eastern States, join them from
sort of family pridet and they have the artto
divide certain other parts of the Union SO as
to make use of them to govern the whole"
New England has not changed in charac-
ter since 1893. 1t is the satne now as then;
and. the whole West and South is as COM
pletely under the saddle of New England to.
day as when JEFFERSON wrote.

Tannassaa.-

Atfairs in Tennessee, says the Richmond
Enquirer, are in a very angry state, aud il
lustrate that. fatal disquietudc which must
always prevail, wherever it is attempted by
registry laws and test-oaths and prescriptions,
to govern the majority by the minority. AS
well expect to settle the cone upon its apex,
as to establish popular government on
minority foundation.
The majority of the Tennessee Legislature,
aided by their Governor, the adnirable
Brownlow, have been intent ON outraging
the viii ofthe State as to the proposed con-
stitutional amendment Unable to get a
quorum, they undertook such functions as
only quorum can perform by ordering tile
arrest of absentees. Two members thus in
custody, and in another room ofthe Capitol,
under duresse, and dissent from the Eegis1atire
6ody,-they assumed to consider as present J;
and with this constructive quorum, they
passed the amendment so they claim
The Radical Congressman on receipt of the
news, voted Tennessee in the Union without
further delay.
Meanwhile the Speaker of the Tennessee
lower House afirms that there being noiquo.
rum, he cannot sign the resolution as passed.
Judge Frazier, too, on hearing of the de-
nand for the discharge ofone of the arrested
members, decided that there was NO quorum
in the House aud no authority to order his
arrest, and therefore ordered his release.-
The officer who had arrested him was fined.
The Radical members, on their part, have
declared war upon the Judge. They have
determined to destroy him by impeachment,
and threaten to arrest and imprison him for
contempt of the. privileges of the Legislature,
As for the constitutional amendment, they
snap their. fingers at the recusant Speaker.
The Nashville Fress-thcir organ,-says:
sit is said upon the streets that Speaker
Heiskell will refuse to sign the resolution rat
flying the constitutional amendment It mat
tiers not a whit whetherhe does or not His
signature is no more essential to the validity
of that resolution, or any other adopted by
the House, than the signature of the Presi-
dent was necessary to the validity of the
amendment itself The resolution will be
duly certified by the Clerk of the House
and by the Secretary of State"

SCHOOL BOOKS.

1t is matter of importance to our young
folks that they should not be taught to regard
tho war just ended as one that grew out of
the q whims and capriees" of Southern states
men, that it was :" causelcss, and in defence
of no great principle )" yet the New Eng
land book concerns are industriously engaged
in the publication of school and other books
which teach these views of the war, and de-
nounce the institution of slavery, as it here
tofore existed at the South, as barbarous,
cruel, inhuman, irrelig;ous, and, of conse-
quence, those of us who owned slaves as mon
sters in the eyes of God and man. Such
books. no matter how valuable they may be
in all other respects, should not be allowed
to go into the hands Of our children, either
at school or at home and it behooves pa
rents and teachers, and especially teachers of
Sunday schools, to look we'll into the books
to be used; and reject all such as teach the
fanatic New England idea of Southern peo-
pie and Southern institutions, and proclaim
the late war to have been either causeless,
capricious or whimsical. Because the South
has been conquered by overwhelming num-
bers, and has submitted in good faith to the
new order of things, it does not follow that
the boys and girls now growing up around us
should be taught to regard Gen. Lee and his
brave followers as so many horrible monsters
and traitors fit only for the gallows and the
penitentiary, as New England is now seeking
to do. If we cannot have books which pre-
sent our own views of slavery and slave-h hold
ers, and our own reasons Tor engaging in the
immense struggle of 1906, let US at least
have those which are silent on these and all
other political subjects.
