TEN NESSEE.

In the house of representatives at Wash
ington, on the Goth, joint resolution was
adopted admitting Tennessee into the Union
1t went to the senate, where Mr.. Trumbull
amended it by the following preamble, viz:
WHEREAS, In the year 1861, the government OF
possession OF by persons hostility to the United
States, and inhabitants OF said state, in pursuance
OF an act of congress, were declared to be N u
state OF instruction against the United States
and
WHEREAS, Said state government only be
restored Its former political relations in I'm
ion by the consent of the law-making power OF the
United States, &c, &c.
Then follows another whereas" setting
forth that. inasmuch as the legislature has
adopted the propose. constitutional amend.
ments, therefore Tennessee is admitte to the
Union, &c, &c.
This action has been concurred in by the
house, and it now goes to he president. 1t
is thought the president will veto 1t on the
ground that the preamble admits that Ten.
nessee is out of the Union, thus showing til at
the act of secession was an accomplished
fact.

The Chicago Republican lie informed that
Mel. Gen. s. A. Hurlbut has been solicited
to be the candidate before the radical state
convention for nomination as congressman at
large from this state. The Republican fan
cies the nomination hugely, and thinks the
generalswould add strength to the ticket.
Upon'this suggestion the Jacksonville jour
nat ventures TO say:
ssGeneral Hurlbut is an able man. but unless he
has greatly improved habits OF sobrIety. he !.
fit representative of the Illinois republican par
ty. We want sober men to represent us in the
halls ofiegisation, on the bench and in the execu
tive departments Of government, and especially
during the crisis that now threatens the honor and
integrity of the republic
We marvel ct the temerity of our rural co
temporary. What an idea "that we want SO
Der men TO represent us in the halls of legis
lation, on the bench and IN the executive de
parrments?' In what school was our yer

A Tariff Dialogue.

A junior partner in a heavy jobing-house of
New York, was yesterday trying to get an order
for big bill of goods from one of our largest
Wholesale dealers, when the following dialogue
ensued, as related to us by the merchant himself
It shows the sort of influences that are relied up-

the goods your house can carry, because there
will be large advance in prices very soon.

of all kind of &C DDS and the house that has big
stock on hand will realize big fortune by the
advance. 1t will beat all old war times.
Merchant--Yes but will the Jolwell bill pass,
For my part, think it will be defeated. If it
gets through the house the senate may kill il !?
and If it gets through both houses, the chances
are that the president will veto it. Under these
circumstances, don't deem it prudent to pur-
chase more goods than / really need for nv reg.

Drummer tell you the bill is going thro'

of greenbacks had been raised by importers and
sent to Washington to grease the wheels Of legis

Merchant-But don't believe million would
begin to go round. doubt whether money en-
ough could be raised to pass the bin.
~Drummer--Easy enough. Why, just consider
that the passage of the bill would put fifty mil
lions of dollars into the pockets of the importers
and jobbers OF New York alone, and tens of mil
lions more INTO the pockets of the holders of
goods in Boston, Philadelphia and other large
places | tell you any amount of money can be
rsised- The bill is boznd to pass Don't YOU
fear that johnson will veto it. The importers
OF New York are all his friends and support his
policy, aud he can't afford to quarrel with
them Your Chicago merchants ought to buy
al the goods they can get, and then use their in
naence with their representatives to have them
vote Tor the bill. That's the way to make mon
