DOCTORS Differ

The Presidents reconstruction policy has
been so distinctly stated and clearly defined as
not to be misunderstood by the most obtuse.
The views Of those who oppose it, however,
seem to differ essentially, and although each
has his own remedy for existing evils, yet all
speak OF the Congressional plan of reconstruc-
ton Now, what's thatplsnl While the New
York Tribune declares it to be the admission of
tnesouthern States Ga condition that they adopt
the constitutional amendment. the Indepeaden,
lectures the National Republican Committee
for committing itself to that policy, saying
Congress has not pledged itself to any such
bargain. Like Thaddeus Stevens, it threatens
new conditions. Which OF these speaks for
Congress, or are the So called loyalists, who
threaten another war, opponents of the views
Of that bodyl This is vital question, and one
In which not only the South, but the people OF
the whole country are interested.

The legal right of a member Of the
Legislature to resign his seat, in order
TO defeat a measure, is as unquestion-
able MS his right to vote against it.
Ordinarily this step should not be
taken by 50 large u number rs to leave
no quorum: because in general the
inconvcniencics and mischief of. sus-
pending the functions Of legislation
viii outweigh the III effects Of any law
~repealablc within two years. But in
q question OF freedom or bondage to
all the people of Tennessee, the incon-
~venience and loss Of breaking up the
Legislature is hardly as ''dust in the
balance" Who cares for State credit
when he ia threatened with abjcet sla-
very for himself and his posterity:
Old Granny Billiards. house was on
fire, and u ncighbor seized her favorite
WATERFALL to extinguish it. "Don'tfor

n wr0c MDbbDl in Louisville.

The louisville Courier, OF Saturday,
has the following:
"Yesterday afternoon, as the steam
boat AbeOn0, bound for St, Louis, was
about to leave the wharf, an affair took
place on board that created n great
deal Of excitement both on tho boat
and on the lcvce. There were several
negro soldiers of one Of the regiments
lately mustered out here, on board,
and they were somewhat d~isordcrly.
Finally, just 70 everything was ready
for thc boats departure, one Of the
negroes, who was somewhat intoXicn-
ted, went lp on the cabin deck, and
going to one of the lady passengers,
pulled out an obscene picture Of a
h~alf-dresscd negro wcnch and held it
before the lady, at the same time
making some very blackgmrd remarks.
The lady screamed for assistance to
have him taken away, and Che watch
man Of the boat, whose name we did
not learn, came to her relief and
attempted to make the negro 60 down
to the lower deck. AT this the negro
pulled out a revolver and fired at the
Waterman, driving him away, and then
passed down to his companions OF the
lower deck. The officers Of the boat
at once sent for the police, and in the
meantime tqaii charge of the negro Co
keep him from the inlt,riatcd mob that
gathered on the boat from the shore,
shouting kill him." throw him in
the river etc. A policeman at last
came, and on hearing the case, was
deferred from arrrsting him, Gearing
the action of the Frcedmcn's Bureau
in the matter, and therefore went away,
After the policeman had left the mob,
every minute growing stronger, at once
took the law into their own hands, and
Selling the NEGRO beat him and then
threw him into the river on the shore
side Of the boat, giving him y good
ducking. He waded to shore and
started off in o full run for the Freed
mems Bureau, pursued by a crowd Of
bows, who made the bricks and stones
fly around him thick and fast. The
mob then searched for the other ne
groes, and Selling them threw them
one after another into the river, when
they swan to shore only to fall into
the hands Of the boys that waited for
them, and chased them, yelling and
throwing bricks at them, tow,ras the
Bureau. The ~valises, carpet-sacks, and
everything that belonged to them were
thrown into the river. and fell a prey
to the boys that mingled, with tlie mob
on shore.
1t is Il matter Of surprise that the
negroes were not hurt much worse
than they were. They laid in com
plant before Col. Thomasson last
night"

SONS that | was the officer to whom
YOU mean to alludc as having been pre-
vented from abandoning Nashville.
during the invasion of Kentucky by
Generals Bragg and Kirby Smith, in
the autumn of 1862. The story has
been a popular one in certain quarters,
and once before appeared in a shape
which induced me to give it an official
contradiction.
Admitting that Importance asagain
been given toit By the position in
which you have repeated and indorsed
it, / shall, on some future occasion,
more fitting than the present, recur to
the story. for the purpose of tracing it
to its origin and renting it. | will
permit myself to say here, however,
that in addressing the Senate upon
this important question Of reconstruc-
ton, you would have done better if
YOU had not gone into the domain of
fiction, to find excuses, whether for
finally giving to the policy of the Ex-
ecutive the support which it merits. or
for now hesitating to commit yourself
absolutely against it. Your obedient
servant, ID. C. BUELL..
New YORK, March, 1866.
