The New Jersey Senatorial Question.

The New Jersey Senatorial Question
TRENTON, March 29.-The Senatorial ques
tion begins to be exciting here. The House
to-day passed n resolution to go into joint
meeting to elect a United States Senator on
Wednesday next. When it came to the Sen.
ate II was lost by vote Of to 10. Mr..
Scovel, the President of the Senate, opposed
the resolution, he said, till he knew the man.
He wanted radical, and no more conserva-
tism, which had cost the country enough.
He believed that Mr.. Stockton was in truth
entitled to his seat.
He was willing to support any emlnent
soldier for United States Senator, or eminent
civilian such us Judge Vandyke, Judge
Field, or Dudley C. S. Gregory but he re.
fused to be bound by the political action Of
any political ring however powerful, and
would take the responsibility and appeal to
the people, whose servant he was. They
would Vindioate his course. Mr.. Scovel
holds the balance of power in the senate.
The registry law was called up and passed
by party vote.
Resolutions sustaining President JohnsOn's
veto Of che civil rights bill were offered by
the Democrats, but we're lost.

TRULY DISTRESSING.

The Atlanta Commercial, quoting the
Rome Courier, gives sad picture Of the
distress nov prevailing in Cherokee and
adjoining counties, Alabama. Many
farmers have been compelled to abandon
their farms from their inability to pro-
cure corn to enable them to make crop.
They offer TO give lien on the crop,
their stock, and also the land itself, to
any one who viii furnish them, and they
had hoped by some Of these means to Sc
cure food for their stock and bread for
their families until the wheat harvest,
that promises finely, should be available.
But they have been disappoi uted, and
their present situation is indeed deplora-
bic. A meeting of the planters was
called at Centre few days since, for the
purpose of ascertsiniBg the actual wants
of the people. Aboutsa hundren men
we're present, fve-sixths of whom, before
the war, had been thrifty farmers OF
this number only seven reported that
they had corn enough to do them until
the wheat harvest; for bushel of corn
now they offer a bushel Of wheat after
harvest, or ten pounds OF cotton next

FROM NASHVILLE,
The Franchise Bill in the House-Report
on Cave Johnson Suffrage Bill Rejected
The Henderson Case The Brownlow
and Woodruff Difficulty.


Special dispatch to the Missouri Democrat
NASHVILLE, April 25.-In my dispatch
last night expressing doubts Of the stead
mess of the upper House of the Legisla-
ture upon the Franchise bill, did in
justice to the noble Senators of Tennes-
see. This morning the Senate Commit
tee on the Franchise bill, which passed
the House last week, reported back to
the House the bill without amendment,
to be put upon passage on the second
reading On motion of ID. G.. Senter, OF
Granger, the rules were suspended, and
the bill taken up.
G. Darlington, Copperhead Senator
from Lincoln, moved TO amend by provi-
ding that any subsequent Legislature
may modify, alter, or appeal. The act
was laid on the table-ayes II, nays I.
They say that Cave johnson, who for
many years enjoyed honors and high po-
sitions under the United States, gave the
weight of his character and influence in
favor of the rebellion which sought the
Governments overthrow that he is not
qualified for his seat in the Legislature
which is seeking TO place the State on a
new basis of loyalty and freedom Fur
thermore, he is not voter under the
present laws Of Tennessee, and therefore
cannot hold Office. nHl
A minority report was submitted,
which says that Cave johnson has all
the qualifications required for seat by
the Constitution Of the State, and that
the Senate cannot go behind that re-
quirement into his personal character or
political principles. glE4 u.
Six Senators sign the majority report,
and three the minority The whole sub
ject is made the special order for to-
morrow.
In the case of Garrett the committee
reported him nonresident Of the dis
trict for which he claims seat and
therefore recommends his rejection.
Senator John Sample, of Davidson
county, introduced bill for universal
suffrage, which was tabled until the Sen
ate adjourned.
The bill is in advance of the general
sentiment of the Legislature, and its
friends will not allow it to embarrass the
action of the Senate in reference to the
House franchise bill The latter will be-
yond peradyenture become a law
The House passed the general incor-
poration bill
Isham Henderson, arrested by Gen.
Davis, it is said, by command Of Gen.
Thomas, did not arrive here tonight, as
expected. Gen. johnson has been tele.
graphed BY the friends Of Henderson al
Louisville asking il he will not let Hen
derson remain there until high Washing
ton authority shall be heard from. OF
course, the request could not be complied
with.
The Brownlow and Woodruff difficulty
reached another stage to-day, both gen.
tlemen being summoned before Recorder
Wilkerson, and each fined $50 and costs
for breach of the peace.

SOME SUGGESTIONS.

While the contest between the Presi.
dent and Congress is progressing, and
the victory uncertain, it is impossible
not 10 marvel that the former does not,
with one sweep Of his pen, terminate the
strife. We thought he had done this in
his peace proclamation, but we're mis-
taken. 1t is only state of war and the
prevalence of military law that prevents
restoration. 1t is the civil authority that
organizes Governments All the State
Governments were framed by civil au-
thority. The General Government was
not made by the sword of WASHINGTON,
but by the civilians who framed the Con-
stitution. Military law had nothing to
do with it. Not Territory was under
martial law when its Government was
formed Our grand republican system
was an achievement of peace.
We cannot, in view of these facts, per-
ceive hor the Southern States can be
readjusted to the harmony Of our sys-
TEN, so long as they are held down by
martial law. We boldly assert, as a
loyal proposition, that State created
by military law, and without the free con-
sent Of the inhabitants, is an illegtimate
State. 1t is, or would be, bastard to
our theory Of government, What the
States of the South have done in their
Conventions since the surrender of LEE,
may or may not have been the free acts
of the people Certainly they labored
under the shadow of bayonets, and from
pressure from Washington 1t would
not surprise us to learn that eminent
jurists do not regard the Southern States,
under the circumstances attending their
reorganization, as States, in the meaning
of the Constitution If they believe that
their present Constitutions were forced
upon them by military authority, they
will, we think, decide against them.
1t occurs to us that President JOIN
SONS path of duty is quite distinct Sup
pose, TO obviate the probability We have
suggested, he issues proclamation re-
moving military law from the South, and
restoring the habeas corpus. Then there
ponld be peace If that would not, of
itself, restore the States of the South
to the Union, it would give them
an opportunity of re-sffirming with
ont the pressure Of bayonets, the
changes they have made in their Consti-
tutions 1t is only, as we have stated
before, +he presence Of state Of war
that enables the Radicals to obstruct the
Presidents efforts A removal by him
of the last vestige of the war condition,
would deprive the Radical Congress of
the immense advantages they WELD with
such bitter energy That he will come
10 this, is hardly to be doubted 1t is his
only chance Of seeing his policy crowned
with success.

The bill to amend the charter of the
Northern Pacific railroad was discussed
all day in the House, and without any
vote. Mr. Wentworth made a speech
against it, declaring that il was nothing
more than grant to lobby scheme TO
take money out Of the Treasury This
was seen in the effects made in Washing
ton to create public opinion in its favor.
The new tax bill was reported in the
House to-day The important changes
in the old law are very few. The cotton
tax is fixed at cents per pound. The
income tax is per cent on all sums re-
ceived from all sources in excess of one
thousand dollars. The tax on crude
petroleum is taken off The license to
brewers is increased from $50 to 500 per
year. The only change in the tax on to-
bacco is reducing the tax on smoking
tobacco from 30 to % cents per pound.
No change is made in distilled spirits.
In the free list the tax is removed from
nearly every kind of agricultural imple-
ments.
The Reconstruction Committee held an
adjourned meeting to-day. Contrary to
anticipations, Senator Fessenden was
not present The plan already tele-
graphed was taken up and discussed,
and the vote adopting it was finally re-
considered. A motion to strike out the
fifth article of the proposed constitutional
relating to civil rights, was
made and carried. This re-opens the
whole question again, and, without any |
final action, an adjournment until Sat |
urday was effected. The committee
certainly hope to come to a final agree
ment on that day.

prOsnact Of War in Europe.

The two great and ambitious German
powers, Prussia and Austria, are ready TO
fiy at each others throats, and so far has
the quarrel between them progressed that
the most significant military prepare
tons have been made on both sides 1t
would be one Of the finest cases Of poetic
retribution recorded in history if these
great powers, having crushed gallant lit
tie Denmark, in a war most unjustly and
shamefully thrust upon her, should turn
and rend each other in dispute over the
spoils OF their ill-gotten victory. Count
Won Bismark, the Prussian Minister, a
strong, bold, ambitious man, is the power
behind the throne Of his kingdom, far
more potent than the throne itself, and
he proposes to extend and consolidate
Prussia, and, above all, to make her the
recognized great German power. The
Austrian finances are in critical condi-
ton, her debt, owing 10 her proclivity for
mighty military ornaments, being very
large, and her paper money system most
pernicious. Bismark, determined 10 ag-
grandise the territory Of Prussia, pro-
posed to buy Austria's interest in the
spoils Of Denmark But Austria, though
sorely needing cash, would not consent
to such an arrangement Differences in
the government Of the conquered Duchies
