Views OF Abraham Lincoln.

The public are interested in everything relating
to the martyred patriot, Abraham Lincoln
Below we give his views on the important question
of NEGRO SUFFRAGE" declared at the time Gen.
Grant fighting those terrific battles in the Will
derness, forcing his way TO the rebel Capitol:
You desire to knew in the event of our success
in the field the same being followed by loyal cheer
full submission on the part Of the South, if Univer
versal amnesty should not be accompanied with uni
versal suffrage. Now If our success
should be realized followed by such desired results,
l cannot see, if universal amnesty is granted, how,
under the circumstances can avoid exacting in
turn universal suffrage on the basis Of intelligence
and military service. How TO better the condition
of the colored race has been study which has at
tracted my serious and careful attention. Hence
think an clear and decided to 1ghat course IStGU
pursue IN prcuiSes-regarding it q religious duty,
the nations guardian of these people, who have
So heroically vindicated their manhood the bat
te-fed, where in assisting to the life Of the
Republic they have demonstrated in their blood
their right TO the ballot, which is but the humane
protection Of the flag they have so fearlessly de-
Tended. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Southern LOYALTY.

Those who are laboring 10 get rebel rule restored
IN the South and to get rebels into Office so as 70
control the State Governments resort TO all manner
of tricks to show that the rebel leaders and masses
are thoroughly changed satisfied with the results OF
the war, and determined to make lsw-sbidlng clt-
zens and good Union men. To this end NUMBER
Of hired letter-writers for Northern conservative
papers paid out of the public crib, aDc dispersed
throughout the South, gathering up the news on one
side Of the question, and where they can learn HULL
ing favorable they manufacture items, and write out
long reports. Astounding in exaggerated statements
and downright alsehoods. Instance the reports OF
Truman, so-caed because Of his aversion TO truth.
But if proof is wanting Of the utterly unsubdued
shirt of the rebels and of their hatred of the Union,
whole South speak. They reflect the sentiments
and feelings of the Southern disloyslists and as
bitter As these papers are they are more mild-from
motives Of pelicy-than the masses are. There Is q
suspension of abuse of the Legislature of Tennessee
by the rebel papers of this State at present. but this
is policy. They wish to operate upon the members,
as to prevent the passage of more stringent
Suffrage Law. But such law will pass, and then
the mad-dog cry of prescription will be raised from
johnson 10 Shelby. Hard names will be applied TO
the members voting for the law abuse will be hesp-
ed upon the State Government mountain high and
the dirty rebel Sheets edited by traitors out of the
rebel service will all turn loose at once giving the
lie to all their professions of loyalty-showing how
selfish and rebellious they are.

important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee. now il session
at Nashville, rendered Il very important decision
last Saturday. The involved the responsibility
OF officers il the service OF the Confederate States
for contracts made in pursuance OF orders from siI-
perior officers The facts of the case are thus
stated
The parties were James II. Woods VS.. w. B.
Stone The action was originally to recover the
price Of a rife which was taken and converted to
the use Of the plaintiff Judgment was given before
the Justice in tav of the defendant and an appeal
was taken TO thn Circuit Court of Cannon county,
where, on trial before jury, the Justices judg
ment was affirmed, and an appeal in error brought
the case TO the Supreme Court
1t appears from the record, that s. j. Hill through
the agency of Gov. Harris obtained permission of
the Confederate Secretary of War, to raise and
equip regiment Of infantry to serve in the army
of the Confederate States for one year. and that at
the time the rifle in controversy purchased, the
plaintiff in error a captain commanding COM
pany in Hills regiment, and that the gun was OBJ
tanned for the purpose Of arming his company. The
contract appears 90 have been made about the 9Th
of September SCI, within this State, and during
the time it was held and occupied by the military
forces Of the Confederate States. The contract
voluntarily made, and with full knowledge, of the
defendant in error, of the purposes for which the
gun purchased, and the service in which it was
to be employed. After the power Of the so-called
Confederacy was abolished in that locality by the
United States army w B. Stone sued Capt. Woods
for the value of the gun, and magistrate before
whom the return was made gave Judgment in Stones
favor. An appeal was taken by Woods to the Cir
cult Court which sustained this magistrates judg
meut. Hence the appeal TO the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court, N its decision reversed the
judgment in the court below Oh the ground that the
gun was furnished by Stone for unlawful purpose
with his knowledge Of such unlawful purpose and
therefore he could not recover at law any conslde
ration promised in such a transaction. The cause
remanded

The Poor Of England..-HOW they Live
and for what they Work.

John Cross, a laborer, was charged last week be-
fore the county justices at Wimbarno, with stealing
a hurdle, valued at cd, the property of Mr.. Thoma
Martin The prisoner pleaded guilty. He said he
had worked a bout four and twenty years for Mr..
Bartlett He had q wife, who had lately been con-
fined and seven children wholly incapable of doing
anything to help themselves There were, therefore
nine of them to live on seven shillings per week.
They were in starving condition, and as they had
nothing to burn he took the hurdle. The Bench
asked if Is was all tie wages he had. The prisoner
replied that he had received SIS. per week wages but
ne had to pay Is. per week house rent this brought
it down to Is. per week for nine persons to live on
In reply to the other questions prisoner said that he
had tut-work occasionally, when there was any for
him, but he had only week of tut-work since
harvest when he earned Is extra. Mr.. Bartlett be-
ing in the town, was sent for He admitted that
prisoner frst-class laborer, and that when he
worked by the day, he gave him only IS. per week.
but he let him have his matching and tut-work in
Guiding hedging. Prisoner said the whole Of the
hedging last winter was seventy lugg 1t was true
that he got pound or two of extra during the har
vest but that went lot of little things they
quired besides mere food He asked his master if it
were not true that all he had earned over ss per
week since harvest was Is Mr.. Bartlett said he did
not recollect. He gave him all the tut-wor he had
The Bench sentenced the prisoner to fourteen days

very purchase and his great soictude to reform his
dissipated son, George, he on more than one occa-
sion proposed to sell George, and did finally convey
him, with other property in trust to secure the pay
ment of his debts But in his various conversations
with his attorney and the witness in this cause ne
always approved the removal of George South, and
expressed hope that he would reform, and an ear
nest desire that his reformation should be effected at
home, where he would be under his contract. The
whole record is so pregnant with facts and clrcum-
stances going to establish the settled purpose of the
father to emancipate complsinants, and that they
so understood it, that it is impossible to resist the
conclusion that there was to this effect distinct un-
derstandlng If not an agreement in terms, between
the parties. The purpose of the father thus clearly
appearing, court of chancery will make every pre-
sumption IN favor of human freedom, and look at
the real substance of things-at the very purpose
and intention of the parties and will not suffer
legal forms and technicaltes or the dress and dra
perry of transactions, to battle the ends aimed at We
conclude, therefore, the whole case that the ad-
mlnlirator had no control over the COMPLIMENTS or
the proceeds OF their hire and neither the one or the
other was subject to administration
The decree OF the chancellor dismissing the bill
will be reversed with all the costs of this cause and
the cause remanded for an account Of the hire of
compliments.

Fighting I'm a Noble Cause.

1t is common remark among rebels that al
though they were beaten in the late conflict,
powered by superior numbers, they had, Heverthe-
less, failed battling in glorious cause. What was
there 10 their cause that made it glorious? They
were fighting against the best government earth,
one that had never wronged them but had protected
them and theirs. They were fighting to establish
hateful Southern Aristocracy, where the rich and
the few intended TO lord it over the poor and the
many. They were fighting to create offices for set
of corrupt politicians who had been driven from
positions il the old Government, and had lost all
hopes Of promotion at the hands Of the Northern
majority. If this glorious cause, it is glory
we don't covet any share of; and in contrast with
it, We should like to have some one point US out an
Uyc0,oas cause setting forth its wicked purposes
vile originators, and partizans.
