The way ItTWas Adopted.

The so-called Legislature of Tennessee
has adopted the Congressional amend
ment to the Constitution. The Senate
adopted the amendment before the House
of Representatives was organized, and in
the House two members we're arrested and
held in the Hall as prisoners, merely to
make up quorum. OF course these
prisoners did not, or could not vote.
In this so-called Legislature, forty of
the eighty-fy counties elected no mem
bers, and in those that did 60 through
the farce of an election, scarce one in five
of the electors were allowed to vote. To
call such an assemblage a lawful Legis-
lature, and the proposed amendment, pass
ed by ore branch before the other was or
ganized, and in the lower House by drag
ging in two members in order to make up
aquorum, and holding them as prisoners
while the farce was being played, is an
outrage on common sense Cincinnati

The Child Murder.

Some time since we published an ac-
count of preacher at Medina, New York,
who whipped his child to death, in the at
tempt to abreak its will" This pious fa-
natic is Radical who believes in hang
ing Southern rebels and Northern "cop-
perheads," and thus securing "the fruit"
of the war. A lady, writing from Medi-
ma to her son in Goshen, draws the fol-
lowing graphic picture of the horrible
atrocity:
"You know Joel Lindley, l believe.
Well, week ago last Monday night he
whipped his little boy to death, because
he would not say his prayers. He was a
little child, between three and four years
old, his mother died near two years age,
and Joel married Frank Mobiles last
spring. / think you know her folks; they
/ live out west Of Ferbys. She went up
stairs to put the little fellow to bed, and
he refused to say his prayers. She whip
ped him some, and went down and Joel
went up, and whipped him two hours and
half, then carried him down and told
his wife to get up, for Johnny acted ve-
ry strange, and he didn't know what was
the matter with him; well, he died right
away. Gilbert's wife went over and laid
the little one out Gilbert went to Mill
vile next forenoon, and told that Joels
child was dead, and he didn't know what
killed the child, but that Joel had been
correcting it. The neighbors went in,
and thoughtthey acted strange. Wednes-
day morning he was buried. In the NOR
ming, when they were all ready, to their
surprise the Coroner made his appear
ance, to hold an inquest over the body;
he had fifteen men; they were six hours
making the examination. They say they
never saw such sight before, ,..and asked
Joel what he whipped the child with; he
said shingle; sometimes with the fla
side, e,and then with the edge; but, OH such
a sight! His little fingers were all in
strings, the nails gone, and the bones bro
ken; his legs all jelly, and the bottom
of his feet blistered, and pieces Of flesh
gone out of them; his shoulders and necE
and the sides of his head all black. They
looked around and found a tub full O
bloody clothes to soak. The verdict was

Avery Sad Affair.

We are informed that Mrs. Jesse Will.
son, of Mt. Sterling, met with horrible
death last Wednesday under the following
circumstances: She had been to market
and returning on horseback indulged in
the luxury of pipe, which she returned
10 her pocket, with fire accidentally re-
naming therein. The action of the at
mosphere soon famed this into a blaze,
and endeavoring to leap from her horse,
her clothes caught on the horn of the
saddle and her foot remained fastened in
the stirrup. The horse, burnt by the
FIRE, kept whirling round and round in
his endeavors to escape therefrom, adding
fuel to the fame. A neighbor seeing the
fire hastened to her assistance, tore the
burning garments of, severely burning
his hands in the operation. 1t was too
late, though, for after lingering in agony
until evening, Mrs. Wilson was relieved
Of her suferings by DEATH ZdaesuiHe

From LeayenwOrth--NO Treaty
With the Indians.

New YORK, July 21-A special to the
Tribune from Leayenworth yesterday,
says: The reports telegraphed from Om-
aha that peace has been made with the
Indians is mistake. It was necessary
for the Commissioners to report some
thing done, while in reality it was fail
ure. Peace was made with some aged
and infrm Indians and squaws; neither
the chief warriors nor headmen were rep
resented. The inhabitants on the border
are arming and making preparations for
their own protection. The Indians have
given the Overland Stage Company six
days to remove their stock from the New
Montana, or Powder River route, and de-
clare war to the knife on all trespassers.

Henry sfansberry, attorney Gene
raj.

The country is to be congratulated not
less than President johnson himself that
he has constitutional adviser in the high
Office of Attorney General who knows the
laws of the United States and who deems
it duty to declare and obey them; and
who is worthy to sit in the seat of Ran
dolph, Pinkney, Writ, Clifford, Jritten-
den and Gushing.
Mr.. Stansberry is declared by the high
est members in his profession to be a
lawyer of entire uprightness of large ex-
perience and acquaintance with the sci
ence Of jurisprudence, and of superior
acumen, Speed, his predecessor, was his
counterpart in all these respects. He
lacked integrity, what experience he had,
had bred him no faculties, he was igno-
rant Of statute books and of legal prin-
ciples, and be had about as much acumen
as the tendrii Of trumpet creeper. His
decisions were generally wrong, but

tance to the authority Of the Government
and persuaded thousands of young Ken.

the courage to join, is a matter which
need not be set forth, for it is only as

status became of consequence to the

illness of chronic disease, Mrs Lydia Drum,
wife of Simon Drum, aged 81 years months
and 10 days.
Mrs. Drum was one of the pioneer mothers
whose early life was spent in enduring the
hardships Incident to the families who first
settled the county. Her first education was
that of the thicket field and spinning wheel.
By such industry and perseverance she prov
ed herself to be one of those mothers who
Justly claim to be a benefactor of society,"
One thing whichwa source of remorse to
her in her last hours, was that she had for
gotten the one thing needful, and spent the
greater part of her life unconcerned about
religion. However, in her last hours,she ex-
pressed desire of being gathered home and
to be partaker of that atonement which is
for all the children of men.
A funeral sermon on the deceased will be

Cholera in New York City.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
states that cholera is raging in certain
parts of that city. It also states that the
facts relative to the number of cases on
Hart's Island are so appalling that pub
licity is denied them.
A gentleman just from New York in
forms US that there are not less than two
hundred cases of cholera daily in that
city. On the first appearance of cholera
in the harbor of New York. it was order
ed by the Board of Health that no cases
of cholera should be reported without the
sanction Of the Board. Hence the pub
lie has been deceived as to the extent to
which the disease has been prevailing in
that city for some weeks past. 1t has
now become so alarming and widespread
that secrecy is no longer possible, and
the facts are beginning to be made pub

The Radicals and the President.

The Radicals are chagrined that Pres
ident Johnson should so far deYiate from
the path they had marked out as the
proper one for him to pursue, as to give
Congress to understand that the Consti-
tuition gave the veto power to the Presi-
dent, in case of constitutional amend
ments, swell as Of bills passing the SEN
ate and House, and that these amend
ments do not meet the approval of his
Judgment
Itmust be q matter of profound re-
gret to the people at large that the Pres
ident does not obey their wishes in all
things. To carry out their favorite pro-
ject of forcing negro suffrage on the South,
they proclaimed President Johnsonin fa-
vor of an amendment having that for its
object, and because the Chief Magistrate
did not see proper to thus lend himself to
the views of men whose great object
seems to be to prevent the Southern
States from obtaining that which the
Constitution secures them, and thus to
play into the hands of men whose actions
show them TO be in favor of disruption
of the Uuion, they abuse him without
stint or mercy.
By their own acts, by an utter aban-
donment Of the principles which held to-
gether the Union party in the late war
these Radicals have placed themselves in
a hostile position to the President. That
officer is as true to those principles as is
the dial to the sun, and in his late mes
sage in which, in language not to be mis-
understood, he proclaimed himself hos
tile to the proposed constitutional amend
ment, he aids in its defeat, President
johnson will have done much to still the
troubled waters, and to cement the I'm
ion, and for this he deserves the thanks
Of the Union-loying people of all par
ties, and will receive their gratitude

D@ The GAINESVILLE Enterprise of the
18th inst says: One day last week an at
tempt was made to poison the watchman
at the trestle-work west Of this place. A
quantity of strychnine was mixed in a
bucket Of corn-meal, but as the watchman
happened to feed his chickens with the
mixture before using it himself, his life
was spared. The chickens died within a
few moments after eating the meal. As
the watcbman had several hundred dol
lars in his possession, it is supposed that
this was an attempt at robbery as we'll as
murder. The fend who did the work
doubtless supposed that the watchman
would die before assistance would reach
him, and then, with no one to interfere
with his proceedings, the robbery could
be performed with ease and safety. The
annals of crime may contain many things
as horrible, but certainly nothing SO cow
ardly.
