HOW IT WAS DONE.

We believe that nothing new remains
to be said of the Tennessee so-called
Legislature, or its outrageous conduct in
ratifying the amendment; but we can
not forego the duty of putting on record
the following account, from one who was
on the ground. Says the Nashville
Gdzette
Thinking they had a quorum-nay
roting that they had a quorum-they do
not wait even TO apprise the coordinate
legislative body of their supposed organi-
cation, nor to read the Gubernational
Message, in virtue of which they are as
sembled In indecent haste, they close
the doors and proceed forthwith to their
dirty work, some impecunious member,
however, edging in a word about his per
diem. No debate is allowed; no discus
sion Of the merits Of proposed dltera-
tion mot amendment) of the work of
WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON, and MADISON
The Speaker again declares that no quo
rum is present They virtually acknowl-
edge the fact, by ordering the Sargent
alarms to produce two prisoners. The
ballot is taken; the prisoners refuse to
vote; the Speaker again declares no
quorum is present; the RAIDS rote that a
quorum is present they declare the
Amendment is passed and toss up their
hats in glee. Poor fools, they think the
thing is done
Isit2 Or has all this haste, this vio-
lence, this lawlessness, this infamy, been
inefectual2 Bitter as the pill may be,
they have themselves compounded it, and
nolens. Uolens, must swallow it. The
amendment is not passed Before be-
coming law it must receive the sigma
ture Of the presiding officer ofeash branch
of the Legislature; and even the Radi-
Gals must be aware that Speaker Heiskell
will never sign the document under the
circumstances.
Again. prisoners cannot participate in
deIiberative bodies Such organizations
presupposcs freedom Of action Liber-
~ is their quicksning principle, Civ
ing validity to their decisions.
And to cap the climax, Judge FRAzIEE
decides that these prisoners we're held IL

THE HEAT.

A Northern paper says the great sui
triness now prevalent in all parts of the
United States, seems without parallel
outside of this country. Our exchanges
are all commenting upon this fact A
Boston paper mentions that a merchant
of Surinam, now in that city, says they
have no weather there like the terrible
heat of this summer, yet Surinam is
within the tropics. Another from Hayti,
says nothing there can equal it, whilst a
Brazilian, from Paru, says such torrid
heat as has prevailed this week was never
known at his equatorial home. Similar
accounts come to us from all quarters but
with all the remarks about the heat, we
nowhere see any one advancing any the
DRY to account for it. Meteoroligists du-
ring the cold days last winter used to
talk Of icebergs in the Gulf stream
Where are those icebergs now2 No rea-
son is given for the intense heat, such as
was then advanced as the cause Of the
intense cold. 1t is probably too hot to
theorize about it or anything else now.

sUN-STR0KE

The Philadelphia Ledger Of Friday
says the terrible mortality from sun
stroke in all the Atlantic cities during
the past few days teaches us that exces'
siye exposure to the sun on such hot
days may prove more fatal than cholera.
The intense heat-which on Wednesday
evening was relieved by a-cooling breeze
from the northwest, and again yesterday
by clouded sky and a moist atmos.
phere--during the early part of the
week interfered greatly with labor, and
in some places, where employers of men
laboring in the sun were more conside'
rate than elsewhere, the laborers were
dismissed for several hours in the mid
die of the day, when their labor would
otherwise have required them TO he con.
stantly exposed. In case another heated
term comes upon us, those who are ex-
posed to it should be very careful A
piece of cotton cloth or handkerchief
saturated with water and placed on the
head is an excellent protection, and peo-
pie should avoid excessive indulgence in
ice water, but the application of cold
water outwardly by bathing the head, is
quite beneficial Ardent spirits and
generally all stimulating drinks, no mat
ter how disguised, are highly dangerous
when sun-strokes become epidemic

Where be all the drums, the trumpets,

Seriously, the deed is done, and done

and behold after passing through the
sloughs of humiliation, insult and sor-
row. three men, no less radical than STE
VEINS are permitted to take their seats as
the representatives of the great disfran-
chised and outraged people ofTennessee.
Nor would even these men be permitted
to enter the temple until they and their
friends had first, in derogation of all law
and decency, ratified amendments pro-
posed by Congress that refused them
the privilege of voting for it. You have
no right to propose, says Congress, but

sion is worse than none at all
1t is only an admission of the Radical
factien, not the State. 1t is in fact an
expulsion of the State. What consti-
tutes a State? Sir WILLIAM JONES tells
us, but it is sufficient TO say that men,
not lands and trees and rivers, constitute
State. Not handful of men, but the
great pillows of the people, the souls, the
numbers, those who turn the soil, plant
the seeds and reap the fruits of yield
ing earth These are excluded, out
lawed and placed on level with the
beasts of burden And they tell us that

among us will be selected We of the
South are invited to consult with the
Democrats and Conservatives of the
North. Any condition as to the charac'

is not for discussion here. If the ques.

Philadelphia. Our duty is to appoint We
should appoint men who are of, and with
the South-men to whose counsels the
people defer-representative men7Tnot
bastards in politics, nor bankrupts in rep.

too much under the ban of public opin-

may select our next great. If LEE and
JOHNSON, BEAUREGARD and FORREST,
should not be appointed, Others
less distinguished, but not less
true Representatives Of the South,
may be sent The point is, to have the
South represented, not the drift and
