= The Revenue act, passed by the late
Radical legislature Of Missouri, exempts
church property and cemeteries, except those
belonging to the Roman Catholic church
from taxation. From the tenor Of the de
bate thereon it is clear that the act was in
tentionally SO worded as to leave Catholic
church property subject to taxation.

THE SITUATION " N TENNEssEE-We
have made but slight reference, if any,
to the condition of affairs in Tennessee, and
merely aIlude TO it now as part of the cur
rent political news ofthe season.

upon pressing the Franchise bill" meas

in the State who had aided the Confederate
cause, the Conservative members of the lower
House-tweuty-oue in numJer-resgncd'
thereby leaving the House without a quorum
and necessitating suspension of all legisla-
tive proceedings Elections have been held
to fill the vacancies, and thus far appear to
have resulted generally in favor of the Con-
servatives the resigned members in some
! cases having been reelected. and in others
| successors of the same political complexion
| chosen, though Radicals are understood to
| have been elected in some instances. The
! feeling of the Radicals can be understood by
the following, one of the resolutions passed
! by meeting at Knoxville which was adj
| dressed by Gov. Brownlow:
| p-,,s,eu, That all persons who voluntarily
! engaged in, and aided and abetted the late
| rebellion against the authority of the United
| States. have forfeited theirright to a partici-
| patton IN the government OF this State. or in
| the choice of Executive, Legislative, Judi
| cIal or Congressional officers; that those only
! who have been found faithful to the national
| cause in the hour of peril shall occupy posi-
! lions of honor, trust and profit under our or
! gained and re-established State Govern
ment; that we believe that unless the Union
| men of Tennessee diStTauchise the rebels. the
| rebels viii disfTanchise them.

name should be written John double u"
Forney or John double ID" Foney.

The reason Sumner has never married is
! understood TO be that he could not snare
the time to admire a woman being too much
absorbed in admiration of his mothers son.

stand Morrill, she could stand anything.
