Facts for the people. Admission of the
Southern States

On the 4th of March in the middle OF
the war, long after the Southern States
had seeded, Radical Republican Con
gress passed, and President LINCOLN
signed the following law:
CHAP. XXXVI.-An Act Fixing the
Number of the House of Representa-
tives from and after the third of
March, eighteen hundred aud sixty
three
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives Of the United States Of Anser-
lea, IN Congress assembled, That from and
after the third of March, eighteen hun
dred and sixty three, the nrnaber ofmembers
Of The House of Representatives of the Con,
gres8 of the United States shall be tCo hun
dred and forty one; and the eight addl-
tional members shall be assigned one
each to Pennsylvania, Ohio; Kentucky,
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Vermont and
Rhode Island.
Approved March A, 1862"
As there as but one hundred and sew
enty members from the so.called loyal
States, it will be seen that the Southern
States were recognized, and assigned
some seventy members of Congress
This law is unrepealed. The South act
ed under it, chose her members, and is
then told that they can not come in
that they are not States! In other
words, Congress refuses, to obey its own

Teunes.ee the Negro L and Of Promise.

Tennessee the Negro Land Of Premise
From the paragraph below, from the
Knoxville Commercial, it would seem that
East Tennessee is to be the future iand
of promise to the negro, and Governor
Brownlow is to be their Moses:
We are informed that there is large
immigration of colored people from
Georgia, Alabama and Florida to East
Tennessee. A gentleman who has just
made q trip through these States says
that at every station he saw negroes In
large numbers, and, on converslDg Win
them, they all told the same story-they
were bound for Tennessee. At one sta,
ton negro came up with bundle, and
was accosted by sable brother 80,
"Dat you, Billl whar's you gwlnel
Oats me, sure Is gwine to East
Tennessee, sartin. Dey's got more corn
up dar den all de rest oh dc world. MIG
gers don't hab to work SO hard up dar.
aud Governor Brownlow's gwine to let
all vote dar, too.

A CoIored Preacher Not Allowed TO
Express His Opinions.

The Opelousas Sentinel says that the
Freedmen's Bureau there has ordered the
Rev. Armistead Lewis, c0lored Baptist
Minister in that place, to abandon preach
ing, and has suspended him from bis
functions. The cause Of this is that Mr.
Lewis declares that the Radicals are less
tho friends of the oolored rnce than the
Southern men whom they wish to dis
franchise, aud advises his hearers to
choose the latter for their friends and
employers. Louisiana certainly needs

AN EXCURSION TO THE LAKE.-We know of
nothing more conducive to health and pleasure
than trip down to the lake and good dinner at
Miguel's restaurant. The air there is fresh and
pure and cool breezes from the gulf fan the brows
of the weary and fevered denizen Of the city, when
seated on the broad galleries ofMiguel's well ven
tilated establishment. The dinner which can be
had there cannot be surpassed even in Paris in
point of cookery, and the fish coming fresh and
alive from the lake are not only healthy food in
any season, but delicious and agreeable change
from the regular diet of the city. As Miguel is in
with all the fishermen, his house is bound to be
supplied with the choicest of their catch of pom
PIANO and Spanish maekerel every trip they make.
Supplied by the most respectable of our importers,
