FoRNEY, abiding to the passage of the
DISTINGUISHING act by the Tennessee Legis-
lAture. says:
cit will be observed that here is South
ern Legislature, composed of Southern men
exclusively, Furnishing treason BY the Sc
verest IestTictions. 1t will also be noted
that the body enacting and perfecting the
measure, and the Governor who signed 1t,
are men who nave co-OPerated with Andrew
Johnson-lOhO began aOith him to fight The
Te5elIion-and now that he has forgotten his
pledges, still stand true to their covenants
That's cool When Andrew johnson
began 'to fght the rebellion" as ForDey
calls it, Fletcher, the author of this meas
ure. pretended to be in sympathy with the
South, and twelve months after he became
Military Governor of Tennessee. this same
Fletcher was applying to the authorities at
Richmond for a commission to raise regi-
ment for the Confederacy. Arnell, the
champion of the measure in the House, was
subscribing to equip company in the rebel
service, and taking contracts under the
Quartermaster General to furnish shoes and
leather to the boys who were to do the
fighting. About the time that Andrew
johnson reached the capital of Tennessee,
after its occupation by Buell's army, Senter,
at present the head-centre of Radicalism ia
the Senate, was holding a seat in the So
called ''rebsP' Legislature at Memphis,
under voluntary oath to support the Con-
federate Government, and drawing his per
diem from the Bank of Tennessee. There
are not dozen of the men, who, by their
accidental position, have imposed this in
famous measure upon the people of Tonnes
see, that at the time Andrew johnson ''be-
gan TO fight the rebellion" were not in
some way cooperating with the ''rebels, -
and giving aid and comfort to the cause Of
Southern independence. With such facts
branded upon their foreheads, they would
| go and hang themselves if they had SO
much as the conscience of Judas.-U d Il.

From Washington

A special dispatch to the Nashville Ban
ner, under date May 18th, says that Mr..
Chase has committed himself so far as to
say that he will preside upon the occasion
of the trial of Mr., Davis, if martial law is
removed from Virginia. It is understood
that the President looks fayorablY upon the
proposition. Attorney General Speed has
returned from Norfolk, where he held sevs-
raj conferences with Judge Underwood.
The trial will be ordered at ouce on an in.
dictment similar to that which was promul-
gated year ago. r..s
In the House Judiciary Committee bill
is being prepared to try Mr. Davis by a
military commission; but this the Govern
ment will not allow.
It is believed that the President has re-
considered his objection tothe bill admitting
Colorado.
The evidence which has been taken be-
fore the Reconstruction Committee will be
issued in book form in a few days. II

THE Memphis Ledger says the great
havoc which has been made in the cotton
fields bordering on the Mississippi River
by the present overflow is appalling. It is
no exaggeration to say that uncounted thou
sands of acres of land prepared for cotton
have been abandoned, The seed planted
have rotted in the ground and the most fer
tile portion of the cotton growing region Of
the South is a watery sea of desolatiOn.
We have no language adequate to convey
to our friends the sympathy We feel for their
misfortuues. We do not pretend to know
how far this state of things will affect the
cotton market, but those who calculate on
large crop had better investigate the
subject. rs

The Facts

First-The President does not get drunk
is temperate and abstemious in all his
habits-does not touch liquor of any kiRd,
and has not since the day Of the inaugIfa-
ton.
Second-He is not going over to the Cop
perheads, nor is he going to appoint any
man to Office who was not with the Union
party during the war. ..syst.
Thlrd-He IS going to have every man
who holds Office under him support him
and his measures, his policy as set forth
in his 22d of February speech, his veto and
his message. Those who do not support
him, and do take sides with the Radicals in
Congress. had better look out for the Execu
tive axe, for it will surely fall.
Fourth-Andrew Johnson is as honest
and patriotic man as lives on earth. He
is just as combatiYe and stubborn as he is
honest.
Fifh-Dear to him as his 6rst-born, yea,
precious as the breath of his nostrils, is his
"policy." Before his determination to
sustain and carry through that policy. all
other considerations must go down. To
that policy he would sacrifice the Union
party, were it necessary. He would sacri
fee any and all personal friendsnip--yea,
his very life would weigh nothing in the
scales-in his determination to carry it
through. Why? Because he has, after
long days and weeks and moEshs of earnest
thought, study and prayer, concluded that
the salvation of HE country and the welfare
of the people depend upon it.
However much we may differ from him
in judgment, we can admire his Spartan
heroism and dauntless courage.
e'Wh hat is the Presidents policy upon
which he is riskirg so mueh?" many in
quire. ''What is this cbimera, this phsn-
tom, this iSDis Jatuus policy that is lead
ing the President this wild dance?''
This we cannot fully answer. His mes
sage, veto and speech viii best give it.
The principal ingredients of that policy are:
First-tbat the Constitutional rights OF
the States and the people thereof shall not
be infringed or trampIed upon BY the Gen
| eral Government.
Seoond-That the States have thsri'as
to determine for themselves the quaiSssshs
tion of voters, and that the general Govern
ment can no more interfere with that right
in South Carolina than in Massachusetts,.
Third-That whenever a member of Con-
gress from any one of the thirty-six States
present himself for seat in Congress, and
can take the oath prescribed for each and
every member in that baby Congress has
no right to exclude him; that Congress car
prescribe rules that viii apply to al iti
members, but cannot invidiously legislate
against members from sections Of the cOun-
try, or that only apply to . part of tina
body or a kGTt Of the States.
Fourth-He does not believe in the ste-
vous doctrine of Estate Suicide
Fifth-He is opposed 10 negro suffrage
at this time; thinks they are unified fol
and have not the requisite capacity to in
diligently exercise that sacred yet danger,
Gus privilege.

The CArERPILLAR.-Thew whole country
hereabouts, says the Nashville Banner of
the 9TH, is infested with catterpillars.-
Sumner county is fairly swarming with
them. and they are making sad havoc of
tie maple trees IN this county. All the
farmers are lighting them vigorously to
save their orchards and shade trees. In
some parts of Sumner and Davidson, the
feet almost clog up with them. Every va
riety of remedy is being resorted to. In
many instances orchards have been pre-
served by free use of gun-pOwder, fred
from a shot gun, in small charges, at the
webs and nests, But where the worms
have fairly attacked the tree, the best RENE
! dy and the only alternative is to knock them
of the leaves and bind the trunk of the
tree with wooden cloth. we'll saturated with

ELIZABETH BURNS, a negro waman, ".

ELIZABETH BURNS, a negro waman, was
indicted in the Qpi7inal Court at Memphis,
on having committed perjury
by false swearing before the Freedmen's
Bureau. A motion was made by the coun.
sci for the defense to quash the indictment,
for the reason that the officer of the Freed
mems Bureau before whom the crime is
alleged to have been committed was not an
officer authorized by law to administer
Oaths, and that, consequently, the offense
charged was not such one as would make
the defendant liable to indictment for per-
jury. Judge Hunter sustained the motion,
and the prisoner was discharged. It thus
appears that there is no way to punish a
party for false swearing before the Freed
mems Bureau Dispatch.

what It Cost to Free the Niece,

Some idea Of what it has cost the country
to reduce the mass Of negroes from indus
try to yagabondage may be formed from the
following paragraph. which we ind in an
exchange:
The New York Tribune says that the
taxes in this country are heavier than are or
ever were borne by any other thirty million
of people on earth. Adding our State and
municipal to our National taxes, they
amount to not penny less than $50 each,
per annum. for the whole American people.
It is rather remarkable that the New
York Tribune. the chiefest of ali the anti
slavery revolutionary organs, should make
reference. to that subject. Looking out
from New York city over desolated coun-
try. it is OPportune that Horace Greedy
