The Sabbath School connected with the
Free Baptist congregation. at Lyndon Cen

church last Sabbath evening. The attend

The concert was made up of recitati ions.

HON. &. &. CLAY AT HOME.

From the Huntsville independently
Mr.. Clay reached home on Sunday morn
ing about 3 A. M, and as soon as it became
known, large number of friends hastened
to greet him at the residence of his vener-
able father; and on Yesterday the parlors of
the mansion were thronged with gentlemen
from the city and country who came to greet
their respected fellow citizen, and welcome
him home again. He met his visitors with
that hearty cordiality which evidenced how
relOiced he was to see old faces again after
so long and so eventful a separation. We
hardly expected to see him looking so well
as he does. The trouble, harrassment and
deprivatiOns Of prison life have, however,
lett visible marks upon his frame, and his
head is sprinkled with premature gray.
Ills conversation partook largely of recitals
OF his prison experiences, but it was free
from any bitterness Of censure or acrimony
of feeling. Indeed he seemed disposed to
to speak more of the acts of kindness shown
him than to recall the petty, mean indigni-
ties that he was sometimes treated with by
some who could not appreciate the courtesy
due tC a gentleman in misfortune so far SUI
perior to them in all the elements of true
manhood. Mr. Clay did not 90 to Wash

husband, and is an equal sharer in the es-
teen and admiration that is so justly due
her, not only for her unrivaIed virtues and
graces, but for that exalted womanly devo-
ton which in the true heart is only the
more d developed and fixed when the trials of
adversely encompass us about. We wish

The entertainments by Congress on the
Executive powers Of the Government are
radically progressive and subversive. Since
the disunion party of the Senate has
asccrtained that it has Trustworthy
two-thirds, its majority pauscs or stickles
at nothing. Our kilograms announced
yesterday that Senator TRUNmULL had
made a proposition in connection with
the Postoilicc bill, inhibiting the payment
Of money or salaries to any officials appoint
ed by the President during the recess Of
Congress, except in few specified cases.
Failing TO amend the Constitution as rapid
ly as desired, Senators propose to override
and set it at nought by Legislative enact
ment The President has made no appoint
ment in violation of his powers, and his
appointments carry with them the legal
right to salaries. Whatever the Congress
may say, the Courts will so declare, il they

LEGISLATIVE DISREGARD or Pop.
ULAR. LIBERTY.

The Senate, yesterday, passed the bill re-
lating to the elective franchise heretofore
passed by the House, and it is now one of
our laws Having printed it twice in these
columns, it is unnecessary to repeat it for
the third time The design of the bill evil
IDENTIFY was to keep the Offices Of the State in
the hands of the present holders, by exclud-
ing from the ballot-box all opponents. Its
effect will be to admit TO the polls many orr
ginal secessionists and ofIce-holders, con-
tractors and employees under the so-called
rebel State and Confederate Governments,
and exclude many of the men who were al
ways for sustaining the Union under the
onstitution-bcsidcs the entire mass Of the
people Of Tennessee who took the eide of
Southern independence and adhered to it..
In other words, is in substance, bill to
change the State government from popular
TO an oligarchic form-to vest the elective
franchise in a few to the exclusion OF the
many. According to the rording OF the
bill there may be $500 voters under its
provisions out of from million to mil
lion and half of people. In spirit and
morals. there will not be 10000. The Gov
eminent Of Tennessee is no longer republic
can. The departure now taken from the
fundamental principles of liberty, may be
continued indefinitely, on legislative as
sumptions until we shall not have fifty vO-
tiers. With equal justice the acknowledged
powers might establish perpetual elective
monarchy, and restrict voting to half a
dozen men, and fill all Offices by appoint
ment
This revolutionary invasion of popular
freedom is fundamental and essential, and
has no reference to mere expediency. 1t is
an attempted overthrow of the freedom of
the people, denial Of their right to a
vote in the affairs of their own government
creates n legislative absolutism, in the
name of which an imperial system may be
inaugurated and forever carried forward.
If there is a free man in the State who
values his liberty and hopes at his death to
transmit its blessings to his descendants, he
cannot contemplate this measure without
Indignation and loathing.

General Stoneman is doing all in bis power to

necessary, rcinforcements will be dispatched TO
his aid-probably from this point.
