Breakers Ahead.

The remarkable popularity of
the Philadelphia movement both
North and South, has raised a great
excitement among the Thad. Ste
vens clan, and emboldened the ex.
trems Northern Democrats yclept
"Copperheads," to endeavor to
take charge of the movement, and
insist upon its being styled a Dem
ocratic meeting. Should such a
course be persevered in, and Val
landigham, Fernando Wood, e,
I'd omne genus, insist upon the front
seats in the meeting, we greatly
fear that evil instead of Immense
good will grow out of it. The
true policy, in our opinion, is to
let the conservative republicans
take the lead in the coming Con
vention. From present indica-
tons, the South is going to send
moderate conservative men, who
will have no difficulty in getting
along tremendously. Our great
fear now is, that Northern De
mocracy goes into the movement
exclusively for the prospective
'loaves and fishes.
We of the South are not in a po-
sition to dictate terms; nor are
our Northern so-called friends
What we want now is, something
to kill the radicals with. If the
Philadelphia Convention give us
this, we are content, for zoe cant
be acorsted.

sand on each side. The cannon
numbered fifteen hundred, and
were about equally divided be-
tween the combatants. The 27th
Prussian Regiment went in near
ly three thousand strong, and
with ninety officers; all but two
officers and between three and
four hundred men were either
killed or wounded. The Prussian
hospital arrangements seem to be
excellent. The Kraukentragers,
or bearers off of the wounded,
form a regular corps, and perform
their duties promptly and system
atically.

An exhibition of marital cool
ness took place at Pittsburg, a few
days since, which is not often seen
or equalled. A gentleman well
known to the business community
of that city, and a lady very prom
inent in society there, had been
acquainted for some time, and
their acquaintance had resulted in
a mutual promise of marriage.
But the wedding had been postpon-
ed for various reasons, and at last
the friends of the bride decided
that it should come off on certain
Wednesday. That same evening
the brother of the lady waited on
the expected bridegroom, and de-
manded that he would marry her
that evening. After some parley-
ing, an affirmative answer was OBJ
tanned, and the brother left to OBJ
tain a clergyman. AS soon as the
performance was over, the hus-
band took his hat, stated that he
had an engagement elsewhere,
babe the bride and the company
good evening, and has not been
heard of since.

The Franchise Law.

The franchise law is in fair
way to some before the courts in
such manner as to test the consti-
tutionality. A gentleman in
Williamson county applied to
Judge Brien for a mandamus to
compel the commissioner of regis
tration for that county to, issue
to him a certificate, but the Judge
refused, and the applicant has APP
|pealed to the Supreme Court
Mr.. FL. Clay Brooks has instituted
proceedings against DR.. Doris,
the registration commissioner for
this county, tor $4,000 damages
for refusing to issue to him GER
tificate of registration. When
these cases come before the courts,
we shall likely have decision as
to whether the Legislature has
the power to pass an ex post facto
law. Besides twas passed in the
House when there was barely a
quorum present, including Mr..
Arnell, who, claiming to be the
representative in Congress from
the sixth district, was ineligible to
a seat in the Legislature. 1t is
also exceedingly doubtful whether
the nine members more than are
provided for by the constitution
are legally members Of the House,
in whole or in part. There are
some very grave questions to de-
eide, which seriously threaten the
existence of the franchise law,
and it will be fortunate for the
people of Tennessee if these ques-
tons can be speedily brought be-
fore the courts.-Maahville Dis

The QUADRILATERAI

The QUADRILATERAL--The
Quadrilateral, which figures SO
much in accounts of military oper-
atoms in Italy, is as the name inn
plies, a four sided area, of which
the strongly fortified cities Of Pes

Verona, Lengago pronounced len
yah-go) and Mantua are the four
corners. Peschiera is at the north
west corner, Verona at the north
east, Lengago at the southeast,
and Mantua at the southwest
The distances between these re-
spective cities, are from twenty
one to twenty-five miles, SO that
the Quadrilateral is of comparative
ly small extent. The eastern
boundary is the Adige river,
which flows past both Verona
and Lengago, and the western
boundary is the Mincio, flowing
by Peschiera and Mantua. TWAS

claws of the Quadrilateral," and

Emanuel was recently whipped,
and driven back over the Mincio.

Thad. Stevens at Home.

airy cabal in Congress a frst-rate
notice, from which we make an ex.
tract:
An itinerant Yankee, he came
to Pennsylvania to better his for
tunes. Embracing in politics he
carried into public life the NOR
atty Of the vagrant peddler, who
will scruple at no mean trick to dis.
pose of his wares at an exorbitant
profit. Disregarding every moral
obligation, and repudiating every
social tie, he lived the life of q
man isolated from those about him,
Stating his passions where he
could, spurning all the humani.
sing associations Of domestic life,
setting at open defiance the deep.
est seated prejudices Of race and
color, recognizing no obligations te
the community in which he lived,
to the State which furnished him
a home, or to the country at large,
he cherished in his perverted mind
and wicked heart a single senti.
ment which in course of time came
to control all other emotions of
his nature. He hated the South
What special cause he had for ami.
mostly against the entire white
race of that section we know not
We can only account for his
bitter, unbending and unreasonine
prejudice, by surprising that the
innate malignity of the. cold-b blood
ed Yankee was kindled to unwonted
intensity by very close intimacy
with unworthy specimens of the
negro race. Sure it is, that un.
reasoning, unrelentlng hate OF the
South was the controlling princi.
pie of his whole political life, the
one Infamous quality which gave
him public notoriety. Whatever
he may once have been, Thaddeus
Stevens has long since been rem.
dered incapable of feeling or even
| of comprehending the emotion of
patriotism, as it should exist in the
heart Of every American citizen
He had no wife, no children,
whom he recognized or called his
own, no friends in the accepta.
ton of that word. Ostracised So
ciaily in the communities in which
he lived, and a foreigner in the
State he made his home, he has
shown himself to be utterly inca
pable of comprehendeng his duty
to his country.

The health officer at Cincinnati
reports that, from six o'clock
Friday morning to six o'clock in

of cholera, which proved fatal, and
some eight or ten that have not re-

says that it is beginning to assume
an epidemic form. The citizens
are becoming much alarmed, and
many families are closing up their
houses and removing to the coun-
try. The Board of Health will,

Admission Of Tennessee

Admission OF tennessee.
The following is the joint reso-
luton passed by Congress for the
restoration of Tennessee to the u
Mon, which will be the course adj
opted with the other States no
doubt:
"Whereas, In the year 1861 the
Government of the State of Ten
nessee was seized upon and taken
possession of by persons in hostil-
ity to the United States, and the
inhabitants of said State, in pur.
suance of an act of Congress, were
declared to be in a state of insur-
rection against the United States
and
"Whereas, Said State Govern
ment can only be restored to its
former political relations in the u
MON by the consent of the law-ma-
king power of the United States;
and
"Whereas, The people Of said
State did, on the 22d day of Feb
ruary, 1865, by a large popular
vote, adopt and ratify Constitu-
ton and Government, whereby
slavery was abolished, and all or.
dinances and laws of secession, and
debts contracted under the same,
were declared null and void, and
whereas, a State Government has
been organized under said Constitu-
ton, which has ratified the amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States abolishing slavery,
and also the amendment proposed
by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and
has done other acts proclaiming
and denoting loyalty; therefore
be it
"Resolved, by the Senate and
House Of Representatives of the
United States in Congress assem-
bled, That the State of Tennessee
is hereby restored to her former
practical relations to the Union,
and is again entitled to be repre-
sented by Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress"

Fall of Austria.

For the last twenty-five years
Austria has been going down.
Hungary thrashed her, and would
have thrown off her yoke had not
Russia marched through the Car
pathians to her assistance; and
now Prussia has pretty nearly Civ
en- her the coup de grace in a fort.
nights campaign. She is fairly
brought to her marrow bones, and
can no longer rate as a frst-class
military power. Francis Joseph
is unquestionably the softest of
European despots, and his gener-
ais and counsellors seem to be a
poor set, and quite unable to cope
with such energetic soldiers and
statesmen as the Prussian princes
and Won Bismarck and his min
isterial associates. The Austri-
an government has been out-diplo-
matized, its military magnates
have been Out-generalled, and its
armies out-fought and doubled up.
All this has been accomplished in
SO short a space Of time that the
result seems like the effect of mag
ic. The only necromanoy en-
Iployed, however, was that of supe-
rior brains and superior arms
The Austrian military equipments
were a score of years behind the
age. Obsolete "shooting-irons,"
charged from the muzzle, had of
course no chance against breech-
loading rifles that returned six
shots for one. 1t was nothing less
than deliberate murder to oppose
men armed with such weapons, to
soldiers who carried repeating
arms with half.a-dozen death shots
to the tube. Marshal Benedek's
STRATEGY" seems to have been the
climax of infatuated stupidity
While he was "man9uvring," the
wide-awake and active .Prussians
were isolating him from the fede-
raj auxiliaries and marrying the
territories of the latter with impu-
nifty. One would almost suppose
that there were traitors in the
Austrian camp, for every move
ment of the Kaisar's troops seems
to have been in the direction most
to be desired by their enemies
A more complete "fzzle' than the
House of Hapsburg has made of
it is not to be found in the annals
of modern warfare. Well, SO
much the better. One despotism,
the most bigoted in Europe, has
gone by the board; and although
we have no sympathy whatever
with the victor, we rejoice that the
bltterest foe OF liberal government
in all Christendom has re-
ceived its quietus, while a constitu-
tional monarchy obtains by the re-
suit a large accession of territory.
The world moves. When despot-
isms destroy or cripple despotisms
the people are sure, in the end, to
be gamers. We recognize in
such events as the one that has
just occurred the hand of One
who brings good out of evil and
governs the world "better than
