viction for the offense, and can only be
avcrted by remission by the hardening
power of the Government lodged exclu-
sively in the Chief Executive All the
Departments Of the Government com
bined, and all the men and women in it
guiltless of rebellion, cannot av. TT the
penalties of crime by the exaction OF
guarantees that il will not be renewed,
and they have no right to demand suaran
tees with that or any other view, which
look to the Infringement Of the inherent
rights of millions of people, and involve
radical alterations in the structure of the
political body The attempt to secede
was gigantic revolution, participated in
by millions of citizens disputing for com
troll Of ha f the territory ofthe nation, and
not a rebellion simply. To hold every
such participant as criminal, bound to ex-
plate bis ofFense and purchase his CON
demnation by the forfeiture of portion
Of his essential rights as freeman, and
this, too, without the privilege of trial
by jury, is a wild radical error both in
law and craftsmanship. 1t is indeed a
mode of inficting penalties the most
sweeping, grieveus and enormous ever
projected. Its enOrmity, too, is increased
when it is imposed at the instigatiOn of q
party in numerical minority, but tempo
rarily in possession of the authority Of
government H7t
The article Of the Tribune proceeds to
say that if the Government, controlled by
the loyal" element in the Northern
States, should require less than the sub
stance of the constitutional amendments,
or omit to demand the extension of the
franchise to the blacks of the South, it
will "send the war for the Union into
history as silly and unnecessary cru
SADIE. To which it may be replied that
if, at the instance and in the interest of
the Radical party in the North, the power
of the Government is perverted to any
such purpose, history viii record that the
late war was not and was never intended
as "a war for the Union" nor meant as
L" a silly and unnecessary crusade" 1t
will stamp it as diabolieal in its concep-
ton, and as the deliberate overthrow of
Republican institutions, and the most
damning outrage ever perpatrated against
human liberty.

EAST TENNESSEE RAELROADS-zA
PORTANT CONNECTION.

The Cincinnati Cumberland Gap and
Cha rleston Railroad, projected severa'
years ago, is devoting its means and en-
ergles to its southern connections with
great industry. and success, under the
vigorous managehientof Mt. c. E. Car
r;ger, the President lie is now building
the road from Morristown to Paint Rock,
on the North Carolina line, where heNgil
be met by the Western North Caroline
lines, and carried to .Asheyille and Sauls-
bury, and be thus placed in immediate
connection with the entire system of
North Carolina, and, through a. link in
process reconstruction between Asheville
and Spartenburfi, with that also, Of South
Carolina, concentrating at Columbia,
Kingsyille and BranchYille. As to the
progress of the work on the Carolina side,
we take pleasure in laying the following
letter before our readers:
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA RAILRoAD,
Presidents Office, Morganton, 18th Nov.
1S66.-C. E. Carriger, Esq, President
Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and Charles
ton Railroad DEAR SIR: Your favor of
the Sd is before me. Absence in New York
is the cause of delay in answering. 1 re-
joice in common with our people at the
sure prospect of an early connection with
the Western Road by way of the French
Broad Valley, and am especially gratifed
TO know that your work is SO far advanced
and under such favorable auspices. You
may give any assurance to your Legisla-
ture they require as to the earnestness
with which we labor to meet you, and the
certainty of it. The road is now complete
to within short distance of the station az
Morganton. The remainder Of the track
to that point viii be down by Christmas.
That completes eighty miles. The grading
from Morganton to "Western Patul Swan
anoe Tunnel" DC miles east Of Asheville,)
is in forward state, Work will be re-
sumed and vigorously prosecuted upon it
at an early dey. 1t is contemplated to let
the balance of the work to Paint Rock as
soon as the contractors are ready. We have
81, 10000 from the State Of North Carolina,
which, with the county and individual sub
scriptions will be ample to complete the
whole The only cause of hesitation has
been the low price of our bonds, but the d.
rectors have decided to ego ahead"
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
..aT SAMUEL Ned. TATE, President

LEGTSL.ArIyE.


In the Senate, Mr.. Trimble introduced
a bill providing that all persons twenty
one years Of age, residents six months in
the county shdtwelve months in the State,
or who shall declare the intention to be,
come citizens, shall have right to vote
in all elections and providing further,
that no person shall be allowed to vote
after July 4th, 1876, who cannot read and
write. Persons" is a comprehensive
term, and may be construed to include
adults of all colors and sexes. Whatever
may be the meaning Of this term intended
by the author, his scheme looks to a very
considerable extension of the franchise
privilege % g. rr a,- .aurgv B9yz
The proceedings of the House were UNI
important, The report ola special cons
mittee on the subject exonerated Gov.
Brownlow from censure in compromising
with the officers Of the Athens Branch Of
the Bank of Tennessee.
A resolution was passed stopping sup
plies to the metropolitan police at Mem
phis and Chattanooga.
The Senate bill offering the Hermitage
to the Federal Government as site for a
branch of the West Point Academy, was
passed on its third reading The provi-
sions of the measure will be found in an
other column. The waterwOrks bill, au,
thorizing the issue by the corporation Of
Nashville of bonds to the amount Of five
hundred thousand dollars for the con.
struction of new works, was passed on its
third reading |
A bill prohibiting the introduction Of

THE LAST RADICAL AGGRESSION.

The Radicals in Tennessee are carry
ing prescription so far in their efforts to
have the whole political and civil ma
chinery of the State under their control,
as to cause rejecting Radicals in the
North to shudder for the safety Of civil
liberty The other day bill was passed
into law providing that in any criminal
or even civil trial, in any of our courts )
it shall be good ground for challenging
the competency of a juror that such per
son is not qualified to vote in this State.
OF course the franchise law is to deter
mine whether citizen Of the State, who
is required to pay taxes and assist in
keeping up the public roads, and to do
military duty when called upon, is quail
fed to vote, and this law reduces the
number in many Of the counties in Middle
and West Tennessee so low as to make it
almost impossible to secure a jury in
very many cases that may occur 1t
will certainly,if rigidly enforced, great
ly delay the course of justice. But this
is not the most Objectionable feature of
this last aggression of Radicalism. 1t is
the effort of political party to place the
courts of the State under the control of
its leaders How long will the course of
justice remain interrupted if the courts
be made part of the machinery of a
political party2 Certainly this is the
deadliest blow at civil liberty that has
yet been delivered by the party in power.
The Chicago Journal, a Radical organ,
must take this view of the matter, for in
its issue of the 26th of November, it says
in reference to the passage of this bin
"The great charter of constitutional
liberty settled the jurorquestion. Nothing
can be added to or taken away from that
bill of rights touching trial by jury with
out endangering public liberty. The
Charter Of Liberties protects every free
man from loss of life, liberty or property,
except by the judgement of his peers or
the law of the land. This is entire, want
ing nothing, and, it is to be hoped, will
not be impaired by uncalled-for innova-
TONS"
This must be the opinion of every man
who takes an unprejudiced view of the
action Of the majority in the Legislature
Only few steps more need be taken to
complete despotism.

The people of this vicinity are as re.
ligious as any community of the same
size in any country, but we did not see or
hear of much observance of the day be-
fore yesterday as an occasion of thanks
giving, gratitude and prayer" God is
good, and each man life should give daily
evidence of gratitude for His mercies and
blessings but man is vile and the devil is
busy, and between them they have got
things into such a state that people don't
take readily to these special secular oc-
casiOns for thanksgiving They don't see
much religion in the high places of the
land whence these reyerential edicts ema-
nate, and while there is so little to be
thankful for, the practice is becoming a
form and sham that had as well Re aban-

THE National Intelligencer truly says
that the future of the South is in the
hands of its young men. How many Of
them are qualifying themselves to manage
its factories, eontrolits railroads, mine its
ore, work its machine shops, and cultivate
its plantations2 Professional men it has
in abundance-able lawyers, accomplish
ed physicians, eloquent speakers. These
have their uses, but the growth Of State
depends less on them than on the charac-
ter of the men who manage its industrial
enterprises. What is most needed in the
South to-day is that the young blood
which fought for it SO calamity should
work it as determinedly. On the plan
tation, in the shop, in the factory, there
the South is to effect its true restoration.
The young men who dug trenches and fed
on hominy and pork, who went clad in
hOmespun gray and slept in cold or rain
or shine under the canopy of the heavens
to further the fortunes, as they believed,
of their native land, can now do noble
service BY laying hold Gifts plow-handles,
turning its lathes, guiding its spindles,
handling its locomotives But there is
want of capital No matter They have
youth, health, hope, ambition, and good
abilities. They have evary incentive for
which to work Begin with q will, and
success will crown their efforts.

THE GEOLOGY OF TENNESSEE
PROF. SAFF0RD's REPORT.

PROF. SAFFORD's REPORT.
During his services as State Geologist,
Prot Stafford accumulated vast fund OF
information in relation to the geological
and mineral resources of this State, Of
very great interest and practical value,
which is in condition to be speedily ar
ranged for the press. Prior to the war,
he submitted to the Legislature a prelimi-
nary report, which was ordered to be
printed, and was partially distributed,
but the publication of the entire work was
postponed. The events of the past few
years have rendered the facts contained
in it of greater interest and value
to the State than ever before. The
mineral wealth Of our State is des-
tined soon to employ an immense share
of capital and labor in its development,
and the publication Of this report would
accelerate that period by giving the care
full and unbiased Investigations Of Prof.
Stafford. We trust the Legislature will
not adjourn without ordering the printing
and distribution of the report-believing
that the money required viii be well
spent, and will advance the general inte-
rests of the State .ssE HIF

- RETURN TIE PIUSDER. = The New
York Journal of Commerce is reiterating
the call upon persons who have in, their
parlOrs, churches, etc, there, things that
were stolen from the South, during the war
10 send them back That paper says: .BE
AN old friend of ours, a Union man in
the South throughsall the war, told US that
his chandeliers were in a certain house in
Massachusetts, his piano in another, and
various family treasures in others. he had
traced them 10 their positions. We have
heard of Southern lady sitting down at a
Northern table and recognizing silver On
that table as her own We have heard Of
a lady receiving from an officer a present
of jewelry, which she recognized rs the
jewelry of Southern lady who had been
her old school mate and friend. Public
sentiment needs to be aroused to this sub
ject, and the holders Of such goods should
be compelled, by the indignation of their
honest fellow-citizens, TO send them
back" IA .s-F

THE news from Europe indicates that his
Holiness, the Pope, will be compelled to
leave Rome and seek an asylum elsewhere.
As soon as the French troops are recalled
he will probably depart from the Holy
City forever. There are no indications
pointing TO his removal TO this country,
and, indeed, we do not think such an idea
was ever entertained by the Pope himself.

We are pleased to remark an agreeable
change in the tone of the more influential
of the Canadian journals in relation to the
condemned Fenians. There is no longer
any clamoring for the blood of these men
but frequent appeals for the exercise Of
mercy and msgnanimity, coupled with ex-
pressions of approval of the statement re-
Gently made BY Minister Of the Crown,
that royal clemency will save from the gall
lows all of the men who have been SEN
fenced to death.

Some ten days ago, meeting with an ar
tiele in the New York Evening Post ap-
parently fayoring a settlement of the
pending differences between the North
and the South, on the basis of universal
amnesty and universal or impartial suf
frage, we propOunded to that paper the
following questions:
Il. What do you mean By the terms universal
suffrage and impartial suffrage?' And in wbaI
respect, if any, do they differ?
- What do you mean by the term genera
amnestyg Simply an exemption from arrest and
trial for the crime of rebellionY' Does it con
template a removal of the restrictions at present
imposed upon a large proportion of the Southerr
people by the test oaths' now on the statute
books? Or, is it designed that these restrictions
and limitations shall continued"
To which it evasiVely replies;
owe can only say that plan, as it is now
before the public, appears only in the
rough. Some of those who look with favor
upon it seem to mean partial suffrage; some
even appear to favor unequal suffrage-that
is to say, legislation which would let all the
whites and only few of the blacks vote.
For ourselves, it is known that we favor
general or universal suffrage, and that
without regard to any plan Of settlement.
Now that the election is over, the
constitutional amendment, which was the
issue in the canvass, seems to get the go-by
from many of those who then most strenu-
ously insisted upon it as the one and only
plan of reconstruction. Yet this amend
ment will, if it is adopted, make it the in
terests of all the States, Southern and
Northern alike. to grant impartial and
universal suffrage. Senator Wilson has
said that it would bring about this policy
in five years, in every Southern State. 1t
has been repeatedly asserted by its most
jealous friends, during the summer and
fall, that it was sure to be adopted in the
end, as the number of States increases. We
suppose, as this amendment was proposed
and urged by Congress, that body viii
adhere TO it."
We regret the want of direct frank
ness in the above If the question pro-
posed is one material to final and har-
moniOus understanding between the
parties to the late civil conflict, it is de-
serving Of different treatment The Post
says that the originators of the PROPOSE
ton should answerit; and we suppose
we must be content
The last paragraph exhibits phase of
Northern political dealing not calculated
to impress the country favorably as to
the sincerity of any proposal that may be
offered as a means of restoration.
