The SENArE's ELEPHANT ID. o. Nc.
Carthy, Editor and proprietor of the San
Francisco Flag, was. some time since, sum
moued before the Senate, at Sacramento. to
give testimony as to what be knew in regard to
statements made in his paper that certain
Senators had received bribes to vote against
the repeal of the Specific Contract Act. But
refusing to answer the questions asked him, he
was committed to Jail for contempt He made
application for writ of habeas corpus, which
was granted, and his case went before the
District and Supreme Courts each of them
deciding that they had no power to discharge
him. He is therefore still in durance vile, and
it is very like be will remain there until the
Senate adjourns thus preventing him from
substantiating his charges by proof-if be has
any. Bad speculation for the Senate.

The Lateat News.

The Sacramento Unions news summary
contains Eastern advices to March 7th, as
follows: The majority Of the Reconstruction
Committee authorized Bingham. of Ohio, to
report to the House of Representatives joint
resolution providing for the recognition of
Tennessee as a State upon an equal footing
with the loyal States, upon certain conditions.
such as the disfrancbisement of the rebels, and
the protection of the civil rights of the freed
men. Trumbull aud Washburne will submit
one minority report, and Rogers (Copperhead)
has submitted another. Doubts are entertained
as to the passage Of the resolution. and it is
believed the President viii veto it if it should
get through both houses.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives in the Tennes
see Legislature have been indulgiug in q coup
d'etaf. As We learn BY mall the Radical
Union men of that body have made up their
minds at last to extend the franchise to the
more intelligent colored men, and bills have
been introduced for that purpose. The rebel
Middle and West Tennessee, fearing the pass
age of a measure of this kind, bolted, leaving
the House without quorum. Some resigned,
but others merely absconded. Gov Brownlow
fanks the enemy, however, by declaring the
seats Of the absentees-twenty one ip number
vacant, and ordering a special election. A
few Senators meet and adjourn from day TO day,
while q number Of the leading Radicals take
the field to manage the elections. The result
of this contest, which will not be decided for a
month TO come, will be awaited with very
great interest throughout the country.
The President has transmitted to both
branches of Congress volumiuous message,
giving all the information asked for in regard
to the creation of State Governments in the
conquered territory. The documents accom-
panying this message prove what the Radicals
have charged from the beginning of the cou
troversy. that continual Executive pressure was
required to induce the reconstructing rebels to
make even decent show of reviving loyalty.
The Conventions and Legislatures having acted
under compulson in all their proceedings, is it
not safe to assume that they meant to reverse
their action, as far as possible, as soon as the
pressure should be removed Further light
has been shed upon the condition of affairs in
the cotton States by report from the Recon
struction Committee of the evidence elected
concerning the state of things in Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas and Georgia.
The charter elections in Rochester, Utica
and Oswego, important cities of the State of
New York, have resulted in favor of the Union
nominees. Rochester elected Radical Mayor

number of States ratified the amendment to
the Constitution And If not, has slavery
been abolished! II in the Union, By what
right are the Representatives of Southern
States denied seats in Congress? If in the
Union, what right has Congress to legislate
concerning the domestic police Of these States?
If not in the Union, then has not the right, or
at least the fact of secession been accomplished,
and the principle for which our noble soldiers
bled and died turned out to be nothing bat q
myth? II State can take itself out of the
Union, and Congress can then keep it ont,

the Yankee style, we propose 10 answer these
questions by asking others-not charging the
Courant anything for our trouble. II the
eleven rebel States were and are yet out Of the
Union as States, are not the remaining twenty

OF these abolish slavery BY ratifying the Con-
stitutional amendment If the rebel States
are out of the Union, as declared by secession

by war-and the United States BOW exercising
military control over them, and peace not yet

The FREEDMEN IN ALABAMA AND GEORGIA

The Freedmen IN ALABAMA AND GEORGIA.
General Swayue, Assistant Commissioner of
Freedmen for the State of Alabama, reports
that in some places the planters have made
strong combinations against employing their
former slaves, but the slaves succeeded in break
ing them up. The average contract price for
the labor Of male hands is $40 per month, in
Guiding quarters, food and medical attendance
for the entire family. Female hands get IS per
month. The Commissioner estimates that there
are in the State 5000 Northern men, for whom
the freedmen show decided preference The
demand for labor in all portions Of the State is
greater than the supply. Poor-hous for the
relief the destitute freedmen are very much
needed, but the County Commissioners exhibit
no willingness to aid in their establishment
General Tillson, Assistant Commissioner for
Georgia, reports marked improvement exist
ing in the relations between the freedmen and
their masters. Lawlessness is being repressed
the bands of jayhawkers W ho were prosecuting
the freedmen having been broken up. The
freedmen themselves are tractable, law abiding
and exhibit disposition to carry out their
contracts in good faith. A man 10 Wilkes
county (Ga.) was recently tried by Military
Commission and fined $3.50 for whipping a
freedwoman, and her husband then brought suit
for damages.
