Tennessee,


When tho iast Constitutional Amend
ment passed, the understanding, in Con-
gress and out, was that on its ratification
by any one of the seeding States the
delegations from such States should be
admitted to seats in the Senate and House
of Representatives On the. 18th inst,
Gov. Brownlow telegraphed to Washing
ton that the Tennessee Legislation had
ratified the Amendment, 43 to 1.-two
refusing to vote, thus making a6 msM=
bers, full quorum, present when the
vote was taken,
As soon as his telegram was received,
a motion was made in the House to ad-
nit the Tennessee members to SEATS
This was resisted by Mr. Stevens from a
desire to ascertain whether or not the
Amendment had been sanctioned iu
way to be legally binding. He finally
succeeded in eating tho question put

olution passed, twelve members dissent

Tennessee Admitted,

Soon after the Constitutional Amend
ment was passed by Congress and certified
to the different States by the Secretary OF
State, Governor Brownlow called an ex.
ira session of the Legislature, in order to
have immediate action on it, preparatory
to the admission of Tennessee to her full
rights as a State in the Union. The Pres
ident was opposedto to the adoption Of this
amendment, and. it is alleged threw
the weight Of his influence, against it in
Tennessee The result was that some of
the members of the Legislature absented
themselves from their seats, for the pur-
pose of leaving the House without quo
rum to do business, The Sergeant-at-
Arms was sent out and sufficient mum
Der finally obtained, when rhe amend
ment was finally passed by vote of 43
TO IL two members refusing to vote. E,
Upon the consumation of this grand
achievement. Governor Brownlow tele-
graphed to Bingham, of the House, that
the amendment was adopted; and, after
tis congratulations, requested him to
give his compliments TO the Dead Duck"
in the White House Upon the receipt
of this pows jdint resolution was at
once introduced declaring Tennessee again
restored TO her former relations 10 the
Union, which passed both branches with
ont much delay, and was finally signed by
the President after little growing in
special message
Soon after this result, the msmbers
present from this State came forward and
were sworn into office. An exception,
however, was made in the Senate, in the
case of Patterson, one of the Senators
elect, who, it was alleged, has filed the
Office of Judge in State Court underthe
Confederate Government to which he had
sworn allegiance. An effort was made
by his friends to have the test oath waiv-
ed in his case, on the grounds that he had
been in heart o Union man all the time,
and that he had only taken the oath from
necessity and under protest. A resolu-
tion to this effect passed the Senate, but
was lost in the House (being concurrent
resoluiion). So the matter goes over for
the present to be renewed, we suppose,
when Congress meets in December.

ator Patterson came forward aud took the

A Contrast.

From the inception of the rebellion to
its close, General Geary was constantly in
the field, peiiling his life in many bloody
battles for the preservation Of cur nation
al unity, and only returned to his home
when the supremacy of the national gov
ernment was fully restored over every foot
of the public domain during the whole
period of the rebellion Hester Glymer,
though younger man, was, pot only stay
ing at hoine, but, ass;duousiy laboring. in
public and private, to coun'eract every
measure devised for putting down the re-
bellion, and in every way in bis power

mon enemy, aud has been, since the close
Of the war, and is now aa earnest advo-
cate for the re-admission of the lately ,e.
Eeiiious States. with increased powers and
without any guarantees for their future
good behavior. During the last week in
June an effort was made ia the revision
OF the Tariff to remove the duties from
foreign coal, which would have greatly
injured the mining interests of Pennsyl-
wanna and Maryland Gea. Geary prompt

his influence for the protection of cur
miuing Interests in the prosperity of which
thousands of our citizens are vitaly inter-
