Tennessee in the Union.

On Thursday, July 18th, the Tennessee
House ratified the Amendment to the Con-
stitutioa of the United States, by a vote of
45 to 1.-THE Senate having previously
concurred therein. This fact was at once
telegraphed to Congress by Gov. Brownlow
On Friday the National House of Represen-
tatives promptly passed joint resolution,
offered by Mr.. Bingham, admitting the
Tennessee members to seats in Congress, by
l25 yeas to ~ nays, and Immediately sent
it to the Senate for concurrence. On Sat
urday the Senate took up the resolution, and
after some debate adopted substitute for
1t, which Is more of a change in the phrase
ology than in the principle of the resolu-
ton.
Thus, in admitting Tennessee, Congress
has given decisive proof of its sincere de-
sire to restore to the Rebellious States their
forfeited privileges, the moment it is con-
ylnced OF their loyalty. This fact, says the
n. Y. Tribune, silences countless ISLANDERS.
Because of its steadfast determination to
admit no representatives from Southern
States which refused to comply with the
very moderate conditions imposed by the
loyal people, Congress has been persistently
accused Of desire to prevent the restora-
tion Of the Union-that its promises were
all vain. But the prompt admission of
Tennessee is the strongest possible assurance
to the South, that Congress is ready to re-
deem. its pledges. Had Mr. Bingham $
resolution been rejected, the loyal people of
Tennessee, who 50 ardently desire represen-
tation, would have had reason to complain
of bad faith 1t was well understood that
IN the case of Tennessee the adoption of
the Amendment implied admission to Con
gress. That was the last proof of her 10y
atty that could fairly be required. This
conviction appears to have disaFmed the op-
position in the House, and even Mr.. Stevens,
who on Thursday SO stubbornly used all his
parliamentary resources to defeat the reso-
tuition, changed his mind and voted for il
on Friday. The twelve votes against it are
merely scattering and have no party sienif
icance, only stern devotion to principle
and when we consider the ferocious opposi
tion the Congressional plan of reconstruc
tion has met, We can hardly rejoice toe
much in this triumph At last, one of tn,
States that actually seeded in 1861, ha
been fully and honorably restored to its DO
sition in the Union.

to the commonest impulses of humanity were
not filed with the warmest sentiment of gratitude
for the friendly expressions and personal regard
that your letter contains, signed as it is by Re-
publicans and Dem ocrats, whom I know to be
staunch supporters of the Government, and many
who have risked their lives for the preservation
of the Union. Such distinguished consideration
overcomes every natural objection may have for
political honors, consequently do acetpt of your
kind invitation to allow my name to be used, but
standard bearer of either political party (Repub-
licans Democrats) but if nominated it N ust be
by a Peoples Convention, as belong to the peo-
pie. They my friends and patrons and in
justice to them composed as they are of all shades
of political opinions, must continue to live in
their esteem. and labor to promote their happi-
ness aud interests which las been the height of
my ambition for twenty-five years.
Respectfully. Yours. Dan RICE
