A TWENTY, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR
TREE.-1n the month of January, 1866,
a remarkable tree was brought to New
York from Western State, which is cou-
sidered by the best judges to be worth
$4,000. No foreign tree was ever
brought here of so great value This
was a black walnut tree 70 feet long,
measuring board measure 1880 feet, but
when cut into vepeers it would be thirty
times that, making $4,000 feet, which at
twenty cents would be $4,000. The
cost of cutting, carting and placing in store
for sale, would be about 500.

calls are getting restless. The great Pennsylva-

NASHVILLE, May s.-Lyman Brader,
Adams Express messenger, was killed
on the hither Louisville train, this morn
ing, between Cave City and Glasgow
Junction. He was leaning down TO see
if the wheels under the cars needed oil

time.
A case comes up before Justice
Court tomorrow testing the effects of the
Civil Rights bill in Tennessee. The law
has not yet gone into operation allowing
negroes to testify against the whites.
The laws now in force expressly forbid
such testimony Counsel for the defence
contend that the case is not covered by
the Civil Rights bill, and officers Of the
Freedmen's Court insist otherwise.
Not much Of general interest took
place in the Senate to-day, in fact the

TO the Constitution heretofore considered
by the House, fixing the basis of repre-
sentation on enfranchised population:
He attributed its defeat TO pueriie and
pedantic criticism and misrepresenta-
ton. He thought that the South, even
under this new amendment, would give
the enlightened freedmen the right OF
suffrage, and in conclusion called upon
the dominant party in Congress to stand
firm by the Republicans.
The Senate spent all day on the prop
osition prohibiting any officer from re-
ceiying any salary who is appointed du-
ring the recess of the Senate.
Senator Doolittle spoke at considerable
length in defence of the President, claim
ing he was still Republican, and that
il was not the Conservatives who had
left the Republican party, as they had
attempted to desert while Mr.. Lincoln
was President. Mr.. Doolittle warned
the Radicals that the next election wonld
result in their own overthrow.
The Senate took no vote, but the indi-
cations we're favorable to-day that the
proposition will be defeated.

resolution removing the tax from crude
petroleum, so it is law when the fresl-

There was rather spicy debate in the
Senate to-day, on proposition confer
ring absolute power on the Secretaries
of War and the Navy to establish quar-
antines at every seaport Senator
Grimes, in the course of some pertinent
remarks against the proposition, ex,
messed his desire to see the General
Government again restrict itself to its
legitimate sphere. He also remarked
that. with an army of Government quar-
antine officers at every seaport, the
cholera would not be so much dreaded as
the attack on the Treasury, which would
be the consequence.
The Star, to-day, says: " We know
it has been decided to try JEFF. Davis BY
a civil court in the State of Virginia,
most probably in the judicial district OF
Norfolk. Since the Government has de-
cided to bring him at once to trial on
the charge of treason, preparations to
that end have been in progress. 1t Is
understood that Chief Justice Chase will
preside in the court, and that Attorney
General Speed will prosecute.

Political Troubles Ahead.

The Auburn On. Y. Advertiser has an
article on the probable drift of political
events in this country, and the consider
atoms it presents concerning them are
the more worthy of serious attention as
proceeding from the organ of Secretary
Seward. We are glad TO see it copied
by the New York Times, with editorial
expressions of decided appreciation. The
article shows the utter futility of all the
schemes devised by Congress for restor-
ing the Union, and how destitute they are
of any practical foundation. Attention
is then directed to the collision which
must arise between the contending par
ties in the country, unless the complica-
ted political problems of the day receive
an early and satisfactory solution. 1t is
fearful to contemplate the almost inevi-
table consequence of such collislon-an-
other civil war. To avert such calam-
ity. and restore peace and harmony to a
reunited country, is the earnest aim and
hope which prompts President johnson 8
policy; while the Radical majority of
Congress, in every possible way, have set
themselves in open and decided opposi-
ton to every plan for promoting that pa
cifcation which is so essential to the
pubic welfare. The Southern people
have promptly, and even eheerfully
complied with all the terms originally
prescribed TO them, and all that Congress
had the right to impose; it is certain that
they will not accept the additional ones
now offered to them as conditions pre-
cedent to their recognition as within the
Union, and entitled to the admission OF
their Represe ntatives into the national
councils and the Advertiser concludes
its candid survey Of our probable political
future as follows:
1t is reasonably certain that they will
send delegates to the next national nom
mating conventions, and that the Demo
cratic nominating convention will admit
them 1t is reasonably certain, more
over, that they will choose Electors Of
President and Vice-President, and ask
to have them canvassed, and that if the
electoral votes Of the Southern and
Northern Democrats together are enough
to elect President and Vice-President,
and they are not allowed, there will be a
political trouble Of very formidable
character. With johnson as President
at that time in command of the military
forces, it cannot be reasonably expected
that the candidates elected will or can be
kept out Of Office.
We are free to say that we cannot con-
template such contingency without the
deepest concern. When we apply to this
subject the logic of our own observation
and experience Of political campaigns
in by-gOne years, we are obliged to con-
clude that such an experiment will re-
suit in trouble, without any correspond
ing benefits TO the party and country
We fervently hope that such contin-
gency may be avoided.

FOREIGN MERCENARIEs.

Disbanded mercenaries are said by the
Southern papers to be committing all
sorts of violences. The Mobile Times
says the beings vile enough to barter
their blood for money and agree for a
stipulated price to take the lives of inno-
cent and unknown men and women, are
capable of any infamy. As they are
being discharged and some of them may
attempt to loiter in the South it will be
well for our people to lock after them
and as they are not citizens, but dis
banded mercenaries, without country,
without flag, to hasten their departure to
their own disgraced and native shores.
