The IiiirOpean Plague.

Sanitary affairs are going rapidly
from bad to worse all over Europe.
The cholera is dreaded everywhere
and quietly preparations are made by
all the Governments to check its pro-
gress and ravages. The cattle plague
in England ~ continually on the in
crease, and the vaccination of the ami
mails has proved to be a failure. The
Trinchin@ have made their appearance
in London too, and the poor people
are most earnestly warned not to eat
raw pork. And now the city and
county of Vica, in Andalusia. Spain,
are visited by a new kind of spider,
which attacks plants and animals. The
insect attacks even men. Its poisonous
bite causes painful swellings. engender-
Ing general disease of the whole body
which even sometimes terminates in
death.

! Pollard, ofthc Richmond Examiner
when hawcNt to Washington to remove
the pressure from his paper, took r,n
among the unconstructel OF the North
and, among other adventures, had Il
chance meeting and interview with
Henry Ward Bcechcr. Here is what
he says of it:
I'VE encountered that reverend pol
itician on ii railroad train, in which he
was on his way to Newburg, n. T.,
there to deliver lecture. \ change
seems to have come over thc spirit ot
his dream. In conycrSing with Us, he
'avowca himself an uncompromisin9
pcacenan. Blood enough, he thought,
had now been split, and he was for
mercy, forgiveness and iorbcarnncc.
He admitted that his former violent
views had become modified, and he
now cordially endorses the Union poll
icy Of the President. He alluded to
the case Of Mr.. Davis, and expressed
the hope that ne would hc tried, if at
all, hy u civil tribunal, and, if convict
cu, pardnued. lie contendcd that the
power of Mr.. Davis Tor mischief was
forever gone, and that no good could
result from his execution We were
somewhat surprised to hear such senti-
mrnts from such Il source; but the
conversation and general bearing of
the great political preacher impressed
Us favorNhly. Mr. Boether's rersonal
appearance IS decidedly striking OF
rather low stature, he has large head,
with full, broad and bcardlrss face,
and massive, intellectual brow. He
was dressed simply in black suit,
His manner is plain and unaffected,
but, withal, iorcibIc. licposscsses the
of & iinc voice, and his style,
in conversation, rs well as in OratOrY,
IS lucid and impressive. His Influence

rending his energies in the right direc-
ion, we trust that he will accomplish .

Impeachment and Sessions on Per-
lnaIpncp.

niaHencc.
The Red Republican Germans o.
Chicago, at y meeting few nights
since, passed the following resolu
tons:
Resolved, That the House of Repre-
sentatiyes is asked to take measures at
once to cause the impeachment Of the
President for his many unconstitution-
III acts.
Resolved, That Congress continue
in session until March, 1867, in order
to prevent any "coup d'etat," should
such be attempted by the would-be Ma
poleon, and to prevent the abuse Of
the immense patronagein behalf Of the
new Confederate party.
How naturally, says the st. Louis
Republican, do such ''Republicans' as
these fall into the error Of supposing
their opponents are as violent and law
less rs themselves, They fear coup
d'etat BY President Johnson, knowing
well that II they were in his place they
would resort to the same outrage.
These men are rcd.handed revolution
lists, and the foes Of all good govern
ment, law and social order. If they
could have their way, we should have
ut once in the United States French
and in less than ten years
political affairs here would be as dsor-
iIorcd rs they have been in Mexico

TIE Legislature of New York ha
passed bill to confer certain powcr
upon the Five Points House of Indus
try in the city of New York. The bill
gives the institution the power to plac,
children in their care at suitable EN-
ployments; to cause them to be in
structed in suitable branches of usefu
knowledge; to bind them out, at dis
cretion, as apprentices or servants,
during minority or any less period, t.
such persons, and at such places, as
they shall judge most conductive to the
future benefit and advantage of such
children.
This is the main feature of the law.
Under it, the managers of the institu-
tion can send down to the swamps of
Florida, or the rice fields of South
Carolina, to labor, and can stock any
Southern settlers Southern plantation
with good young hands. We hear just
now a good deal of Republican talk
about the injustice and oppression of
apprenticeship laws in the South, and
are told that they are only return to
negro slavery under another name.
But, then, this Republican apprentice
ship law is for white children and not
for negroes, and hence, no hardship
or injustice is found in it.-Union and
American.

GEN. BANKS AGAINST THE RAptc,,

GEN. BANKS AGAINST TUE RADICALS
"A Washington special to the Boston
Post says that that Gen. Banks will
shortly make IN elaborate speech, and
it is rumOred that he will go with the
Conservatives sustaining the President
and refusing further political associa-
ton with Stevens and Summer. Gen.
Banks has not enjoyed the confidence
Of the Radical plotters since the COM
mencement of the session. Taking, rs
he does, more liberal and patriotic
view ofthe necessities OF the hour, his
relations with the President have been
most intimate and friendly, while others
of the party have preferred to estrange
themselves from the Executive.

TIE Shclbyville Erpoaitor speaks rs
follows Of the action ofthc representa-
tivcs who resigned their seats in the
Legislature, rather than aid in the pas.
sage Of an iniquitous and mconstitU.
tional bill Of acknowledgements:
We approve the action and the mo.
tiycs that induced these members tC
resign, Although they were Il minori.
ty in the Legislature, they represented
an overwhelming majority of the pco.
pie ofthc State. BY thcir action they
have defeated the passage of u most
odious and tyranncal measure. They
have defeated the policy of Il contempt
iblc minority in this State to rule or
ruin at all hazards. If the present
members of the legislature think they
are right, why don't they resign and re-
fer the question back 10 the people ?
How many votes would the present
representatives from Rutherford and
Bedford get, were he II candidate before
the people for reelection to his present
position! We are satisfied that he
would not get three hundred votes in
the two counties. We are for the re-
election OF the former representative,
Mr.. DInnaway, il he desires it. If not,
we are for any good conservative
Union man who is III favor of the re-
peal Of the present franchise law. Its
repeal, we are satisfied, would do more
at this time to restore peace and harmo-
ny than any other thing which could
be done. We have heard OF no candi-
dates as yet, to ill the vacancy from
this county. The present legislature
is at Il stand still for want of Il quorum
SO far rs any good they have done for
the people, they have been at stand
still all the time. All, or nearly all
they have done, has been to charter
"oil and mining companies" This
could have been disposed with by 4
general law, giving power to County
Courts to grant charters, on certain

Governor Fletcher and Secretary
Brownlow have strange notions of ex.
ecutive duty. theory is that they
are the State. Some months since.
Mr., Travis, Of Henry, resigned his seat
IN the House 1t was the duty Of the
Governor to issue Immediately writ
Of election to fill the vacancy. Mr..
travis was Il Conservative, and Oh.
posed to the policy OF the Governor.
1t was known that any Successor elect
ed from that county would be Of the
same way Of thinking. Therefore, the
Governor refused, or failed to issue
any writ Of election. The citizens of
mat county, unwilling to be thus de
pr!Ned OF representation in the Legisla-
t,lre OF the State, prevailed upon Mr..
Travis to return to Nashville and, ask u
reconsideration Of the vote ac. eptine
MS resignation, and resume his seat
This he did, but the Radical majority
shut the door in his face and refused
HIM adnittance. This was reyolu.
tionary.
Again, dessrs Hood, Of Hamilton.
Dunnaway, Of Bedford, end Williams,
OF Carter--though approving the ac-
ton Of the withdrawing members, have
not resigned. Their seats cannot be
declared vacant, except on resignation
or expulsion. Nevertheless it suits
the purpose Of the Governor to SO dc.
clare, and accordingly Il proclamation
IS issued to that effect. This is reyo-
lutionaiy.
Again, the people are called upon to

Slanderers of.thc South.

There are mcndacious party papers
who still kcepup their stupid malicious
reports of the state of feeling among the
Southern people, derived either from
their own hireling correspondents, or
statements gotup by those who wish to
continue in the various governmental
and other capacities at the South which
furnish them handsome salaries. One
of thcse-an agent Of the American
Union Commission writing from
Georgia, states that "the young men
are passionate and revengeful;;" and rs
proof Of it, he cites the remarkable
case ola child nine months old, who
is so imbucd with the prevalent feeling
that, whenever he hears the word
4" Yankee" he "doubles up his fist and
scowlS.' Barnum should by all means
secure this infant phenomenon.
1t is very possible that occasional
scenes of lawlessness occur at the
South. 1t would be strange if were
not so. AS Boston contemporary
N"''i'ht oOSNi NCo
lfthe Southern States are to be kept
out of the Union until all disorders and
territorial outrages cease, they can, of
course, never be admitted. We have
enough of these in New England, many
of which are perpetrated here with i'm
punity, while they arc now punished by
military authority at the South. For
instance, a tavern keeper in New En-
gland refused to allow Frederick Doug
lass a seat at the dinner table in his
house. and yet went unpunished, while
tavern keepers at the South, who have
refused the same privileges TO negro
soldiers, have been fined and their
houses closed.

THE Boston Post SAYS:

The speech Of Alexander II. Ste
phens before the Georgia Legislature
is doing more for the real work of res
toration than all the speeches Of the
Summers and Stevenscs that have been
made since Congress assembled. The
release Of Mr.. Stephens from coniine-
ment at Fort Warren is proved to be
the wiscst thing that could have been
done in his case. The President has
thus illustrated the very point which he
called the central idea of his nolicy in
his conversation with Gov. Cox. and
done it very eiiectually; that was. 70
start to life again the spirit Of loyalty
within the Southern States, so that
they might, rs soon az possible, be.
come living members of the Union.
