The PRAYER fron Tennessee.

Information has just reached, official cir
cles here from the undoubted loyal people
of Tennessee, togthe effect that the au-
thors of the prayer of the loyal Tennesseans
presented to the Committee on Reconstruct
ton few days ago, praying protection from
the rebel majority, which they allege will
soon resume political control of the State,
are a mere handful of the extreme radical
element of East Tennessee, headed by the
Secretary of Governor BrownloW. The
loyal Tennesseans represent that the law
lessdess and violence complained of by the
radicals are the result of thSnscklessness of
law and of the yiolsnce of which the radi-
Gals themselves have been guilty. - Wash
ington Cor. ~ =. Times
This is correct in some respects, but not
in others. But few of the radical element
of the State support the memorialists; in
deed, We think that no decent man in all
Tennessee does so.
The witpesses spoken of do not exist.
The East Tennesseans are not responsible
for them, because there are none. The fact
is, the memorials were gotten up by set
of men, who during the war, fed from the
country, but who succeeded, by some CHI
canery, in being elected to office, aud are
now DESTROYS of holding on for an indefinite
period.
We hope the people Of the North will
treat these memorialists as they deserve to
be treated---with profound contempt.

A Washington dispatch 9th 5oth says:
Gen. Sheridan cannot attend the conference
Of Generals being held here, as his presence
to preserve order is necessary on the Rio
Grande and vicinity: The immediate object
Of the meeting is to organize plan for re-
constructing the regular army, but their
deliberations will exercise an important in
fIuence upon the question of reconstruction.
The President has deferred issuing formal
proclamation declaring the restoration of
the Union until the opinion of Generals
Grant, Sherman, Meade, Thomas, Sheridan
ndsothers be obtained relative to the sub
mission 10 tie constituted authorities It
is anticipated that the opinions of Unicn
Generals in the South will conflict with the
political theory that the war is not yet
ended.

lGauaIizing Bonnties.
From the Tribune.

from me ITtOdRe.
We receive a good many letters from persons
who say they have been soldiers, and who do
not like our opposition to the schemes submitted
to Congress under the guise of equalizing
bountes among the soldiers who have served in
the late war; Most of these we have not even
read completely, because OF the bad manners
and impertinence betrayed by the writer's; and
we certainly shall not publish any henceforth OF
which the authors know no better than to couch
their missives in terms of insult.
What we have to say to them all may be
briefly summed up thus:-
/. Not one of the bills submitted TO Congress
does what they all profess to attempt--that is,
equaliZe bounties. General Wilson's Is case in
point. he proposes to ignore all bounties paid
by States or minor localities or by individuals
Why so 4? If soldier has received a bounty
from his State, county, or township, or been
paid one by an individual, why should not that
be considered, as much as though 1t had been
paid from the Federal Treasury? II any one
can answer this question ciyilly we should like
to hear from him. a.
O. To pay an additional sum to every soldier
under pretense of equalizing bountles, is q
naked fraud. The man who enlisted in 1864 o.
'65, and received then liberal bounty, has nc
right TO further gratuity under this ials'
pretense. pT
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-04-10

3. We should be very glad to assist in paying
500, or even $500 each 20 all soldiers who en-.
listed without bounty or gratuity from any quar-
ter, served three years or over, until honorably
discharged, receiving no bounty at all save the
500 paid when mustered out. This, we believe,
would be some approximation to 'equalizing
bounties;" and il is as far rs we think our over
taxed people and heavily indebted Government
should be asked TO go, save in providing for the
disabled in battle and the orphans OF those who
gave their lives tor their country; and for these
We will go as far as any one can reasonably ask.
But to bankrupt our overbuTdened Treasury by
paying bounties TO hale men who have already
received $500 and over in bounties or as substi.
tutes,. or who served less than two years, we are
not willing. f } "A

The weaker any cord is the less it will bear to

present Rump designed to have its authority sus-
pected, it could proceed by no surer method
than the passage of glaringly unconstitutional
law over the Presidents veto. So long as it con-
fined itself to ordinary and necessary legislation,
and passed no laws for which it had not some
color OF competency, the country deemed II
more prudent not TO raise the question of autho-
