The Tennessee franchise bill, excluding,
rebels from holding Office and,irOm voting
has passed both branches of the Legisla-
ture and is now a law. The fight on this
measure has lasted for months, and has
been bitter in the extreme, the opponents
Of the bill at one time breaking up the
Legislature by resigning in a body, leav-
ing the lower House without a quorum.
In this contest, as in all others, Of late, be-
tween rebels and loyal men, the entire in
fuence of President johnson has been
with the rebels. The passage of the bill
is then not only a robuke to treason in
Tennessee, but is a slap in the face of our
Tennessee Pre:ident. Mr.. johnson has
recently cooled percePtibly in his advOca-
cy Of the special claims ofTennessee to
admission, and we presume that his de-
feat on this bill, (for weregard it as such }
will not increase his enthusiasm.

From tho New York Tribune, April ~
Several Journals in this city and else
where have contained notices regarding a
plan CT reconstruction, prepared by
Robert Dale Owen, and said TO have been
debated in the Reconstruction Committee,
and some have given what Purported to
be the plan itself.
We happen to know that it has been,
in every instance, more or less inaccurate
" reported. Such a plan has, among
others, been under discussion by the Com
mittee of Reconstruction. 1t is embraced
in two documents, one q Joint Resolution
amendatory of the Constitution, and the
other, contingent on the passage Of the
fist, to provide for the admission so Con-
gIess of Representatives from the cx-in-
surrectionarv States. As the latter re-
cites the amendment which it is the object
of the former to propose TO the States, it
exhibits the entire plan. Il isas follows
A BILL to provide for the restoration to
the States lately in Instruction of their
full political rights.
WHEREAS, 1t is expedient that the
States lately in instruction should, at the
earliest day consistent with the future
pence and safety of the Union, be restored
TO full participation in all political rights
and
WHEREAS, Congress did, by Joint
Resolution, propose for ratification to the
Legislatures of the several States, as an
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States, an article in the following
words. to-wit:

The Hancock JefIersonlan wishes to
know If Colonel Dom Piatt sustains poll
troon? Certainly not Colonel Piatt does
not sustain Ben LeFever, be he brave or
cowardly. He seeks his defeat, and is
working hard to accomplish that result
But this cannot be accomplished by distort-
ing his military record or abusing the SOL
dier. Colonel Piatt recommended Major
LeFeyer Tor promotion upon the recorded
recommendation of Generals Rosecrans,
Crittenden, and Colonels Stanley Matthews
and Cummins, who affirmed that he was a
gallant and efficient officer.
The charges preferred against LcFever
by the anonymous author in the jefferson
ian were, that he did not enter the service
as private, that he was under fire but
once, and then was guilty of shameful
misconduct.
Weknew these charges were false. We
knew Ben LeFever entered the service as
private, for We had seen his honorable
discharge, and the reports of his superior
officers, who speak warmly of his bravery
aud obedience. Instead of being la one
only, he was in five of the hardest fought
battles in the Army of the Cumberland
and in all won for himself the confidence
and support of his superior officers.
And when the proof is Called for, it con-
sists of protest, signed by all the officers
to his promotion over the head Of as they
claim. a more deserving officer and the
only charge is that LeFever has been
away too much from his regiment on de-
taclIed service. Had he been open to the
charge of misconduct on the field, would
not these officers have used the fact to his
prejudice? They did not, and it is too
late, in the midst of heated political con-
test, to prefer it now. ..
Our friends do not understand and ap-
preciate the feeling that peryades the army
of the Union. At least dozen brave Re-
publican officers said to us ut the late Con-
vention, "if this sort of thing goes on, we
will lose every soldiers vote in Ohio.'-
While appeals to patriotism make us sue
cessful with the army, abuse of their com
radcs will only weaken our cause. We
must remember that large number of
these soldiers are old Democrats, and while
they will stand firmly by our flag at home,
as they did in the field, are in no humor for
unmerited abuse of comrades.

Major Gee, of the Confederate Army,
had charge of the military prison at Sails
bury, North Carolina. He was paroled
with General Johnston's command. but
was subsequently arrested by order OF
Stanton, and, after nine months imprison-
ment, was brought to trial before militia
ry court on the charge of violating the
laws Of war, in cruel treatment of Federal
prisoners. After a protracted trial, In
which many witnesses were examined OH
the part of the Government, Major Gee was
acquitted. . .,...,., - I'm.

the result, says:

What the New York Herald Thinks
will Result from the Philadelphia
Convention ... r'.

tlAC Il
Convention. ,sj ... rg
In It's characteristic style the New York
Herald discusses the Philadelphia Conyen-
tion. 1t scouts the idea that q new party
will spring out it; but it is satisfied that
the Convention will help do what the peo-
pie have determined OIL doing. This opin-
ion it states thus: .'.'
"The Philadelphia Convention may as
sist in the work by dividing the Republi-
can party but so far as organizing a new
party is concerned, it will be as powerless
as Jack Hamilton's mulatto Convention,
which is to meet in the same city, and to
be attended by delegates from Texas who
do business in Wall street, Fand delegates
from North Carolina who reside in Herki-
mer,county, New York. Its moral effect
will be beneficial; but the people will take
hold of the issues in a more practical way,
They have the whole subject brought home
to their pockets every day by the taxes,the
tariff and the high prices, and they see
Congress kept in session by the jobbers
and robbing the Treasury by Wholesale
Let the Philadelphia Convention open Its
doors wide to all men of all parties, so that
there may be grand, uprising Of the poll
ticians; but the uprising of the people will
accomplish more than any Convention.
Reading over the experiences of Tyler and
Fillmore. we may predict that the Conven-
tion will fall; but with its failure It will
kill the Radical party through the popular
vote" - 40 if- - t"-'.-. q. .
