A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. Baker rose TO question Of privilege. lie
had always worked and voted against what Is
known as the franchise bill. He then called at
tentiOn TO editorial in Sundays Gdzete, Whlch
he denounced in the severest terms, ana asked;
in view Of the language used in the Gazeus; ana
the reasonable course of papers OF Ike Tx. the
privilege of being allowed TO change his vote on
the franchise bill. Leave being granted, he
changed his vote
Mr. Smith, of Hardeman said he was sorry to
hear the article from the Gazette read IN tins BODY
from the simple fact that it brought paper into
notice which otherwise nobody would know any
thing about, as it was very well known that nard-
ly anybody read said paper.
Mr.. Wines thought II not strange TO ma such
stuff in the Gazette, as everybody knew that the
editor was drunk when he wrote the article refer
red to. lie then warmly denounced the Gdzefte'
declaring it as reasonable now a. any paper IN
the South was in 1861. IL is true Is influence Is
limited arising from the fact that Its editor IS
poor, old drunken babbler, but 1t IS nevertheless,
far as its puny ability will permit, pernlclOus
and reasonable in its teachings.

action on the part of yourself or any other

Mr.. EDITOR In your issue Of August 18th,
you give the doings of the Second Compression.
al District Convention, at White River juno
tion, at which the Hon. Luke P. Poland, after
being duly chatechised, ives put in omination
for Congress. 1t appears that Judge Poland
deferred his own judgment to the wishes Of
the convention, relates to the position he
should occupy in Congress. Well, We do not
say the =" pudding and the prayer will be spoil
ed i. the sweep" but after all, in our humble
opinion, the people made mistake-the opin-
ion of large majority of the press to the con-
trary notwithstanding. But if Judge Poland
could yield his opinion with much defer
ence to the people, We certainly ought not to
be so tenacious of ours. But We took up our
Den to say a word on the resolution introduced
| by Mr.. Pratt of Woodstock, censuring the
members of Congress for raising their pay
from $4,000, to 5000, and instructing their fu-
ture representative from that district, to 60 for
placing it back to the old standard Of $4,000
per annum. This resolution was adopted by
the convention, and after an explanation by
Judge Poland, the vote was re-considered, and
the resolution dismissed. Judge Poland ex-
planned " that Congress had only saualized the
pay of its members. and rather than having
increased the whole amount paid them, they
have diminished it; that his mileage was only
$4OO, while the member from California receiv-
ed $4,000"
j Nov, however satisfactory this may have
been to the convention, We do not believe the
people at large will be satisfied with it. We
know not what moral right public servants havs
to raise their wages more than private one
have. We believe that members of Congress
were largely if not extravagantly) compen
sated before, and that the excessive mileage o
the member from California should have beel
placed to the credit of Government, and ap-
;; piled to the payment Of our enormous nations
debt, instead of raising the pay of member
t from $4,000 to 5000. We venture our rep

MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTH CARoLINA.-Itwa was

Carolina delegates TO be "gushing" towards
each other, but the theatrical scene of the two
Delegates entering the Convention " arm-in-

makes a picture of exceeding weakness and
absurdity 1t is by no farcical displays like
this that real harmony is to be secured. The
return of these two States to the Union arm

early in February, 1861, lie said:

Of apathy and indifference towards the Union

Radical Convention at some point In the
Southern States To this the Tribune responds,
hat one Radical Convention in New Orleans,
"a. dispersed by President Johnson, through
the agency OF Mayor Monroe and the bloody
rebel mob, with such fearful destruction of
life, that it was evident the reconstructed
traitors and their " Moses p" in the White
House have no purpose of allowing the original
Union, and now Radical men of the South, any
opportunity of assembling and discussing po--

platform. President Johnson now in the in

Coal IN KANsAs.-Shafts have been sunk in
many places in Kansas for coal, the surveys
made by prominent geo!ogists warranting the
efforts made. Coal has been discovered in
large quantities upon the prairies and within
a radius of ten miles from Leavenworth, but
there are parties who are now engaged in
boring for coal within the city proper, and q
shaft has been sunk FIVE hundred feet, and
their prospects improve the deeper they get.

JOHN NJ Boris ON THE New PARTY.-John

of supporting :" the new party" contampla-

In the present condition of things, there

party and a Convention Is called to meet IN
| Philadelphia, some time next month, be-
| ieve 1t is an embarrassing question for me
to know, not as Mr.. w ebsrer raid, where am
| 70 90, but how | am to vote. No, it is not an
embar rassing question. That was a slip of
| the tongue. | shall have no embarrassment
| about it, | shall vote for the unconditional
| Union party of this nation. Immense ap-
| piause There may be great deal OF radl-
| calism about it, b1t | never saw a party In
which there was not radicahsm. Radicalism
| is sometimes a little too fast, and sometimes
conservatism is little too slow; but you
have q medium between the two that will
| regulate 1t.
a am not 70 abandon those who agree
with me on this great question of the restora-
ton of this Union because there are radicals
| IN the party, and when, if do not agree with
them | have to 60 into another party, where
there is more radlcalism, and q more obnox-
lous radicalism than find in the great Union
karty. OF al radicallsm, that which is most
obnoxious to me is the radicalism OF the De-
mocracy. (Applause.) And will vote Tor
any party, do not care who or what it is, TO
beat it down and keep it down. (Great Ap-
plause) Much as | suffered, and much as we
ali suffered in this war, would. so help me
God, ten times over rather go through another
rebellion than to See that party restored, and
to see the great war carried on by the United

have been lost, and the millions and tens of
millions of money that have been expended,

There can be but two parties in this Union,

The New York World, an enthusiastic
supporter of President johnson, and now
working kindly in harness with the New
York Times in ITS denunciation of the Radi-
calls, calls the Convention to be held in Phil
adelphia the Sd of September. and which
was called by such Unionists as Gov. Hamil-
ton of Texas, VIM. B. Stokes and Horace
Maynard of Tennessee, John Miner Bolts OF
Virginia. the call including the name OF al
most every prominent southern man who new
er joined the rebellion-the /" Mean White
Convention.'' The Tunes calls it the " Con-
vention Of the southern disunionists." Thus
both these papers exhibit their love of rebels,
sheir tender solicitude for traitors, and their
hate of the only men at the South who never
deserted the flag. And their spirit is the
spirit of the entire Johnson party.

CHEERS Oh REBELS AND HIssEs FOR LOYAL
MEN.-At political meeting, held in Louis
vile, Kentucky, just previous to their recent
election by the secession Democracy, the
names of Lee and johnson were received with
cheers, while those of Grant and Sherman
were hissed. Yet these men who have cheers
for rebels like Isse and renegades like johnson,
prevailed in the Kentucky election and they
are the mon whom johnson fraternizss with
with whom be advises, and who are given the
places of power and trust in all the Southern
States. Is it any wonder that Union men
doubt their ability to remain long at the
South, - at present reconstructed?
