The Tennessee Delegation.


a Washington dispatch of the oath, saws
that the Reconstruction Committee will take
up the question Of the admission Of the
Tennessee members, and viii probably re-
port upon the subject as soon as the Legis
lature of the State adopts the bill NOW before
it, comforting upon negroes the right to tes-
tify and sue IN the courts Those Union
members who are willing to admit the Ten
nessee delegates, while excluding the others,
place it on the grounds, first, that Tennessee
was reconstructed. while the rebellion was
still existing, by Unionists, and rebels were
DISTINGUISHED; secondly, because Tennessee,
by her new Constitution, abolished slavery
and ratified the abolition by a popular vote.
before Congress submitted the constitution
al amendment abalishiug slavery thirdly,
because Andrew Johnson was recognized as
Senator for the State up till March, 1868,
and the Union National Convention of 1864
went there for their nominee for Vice Pres
ident fourthly, because Tennessee furnish
ed over thirty thousand soldiers to the
Union armies, and filthy because all her
delegation, as is understood, can take the
oath, and two Of them fought in the Union
army. These points, to them, seem to place
the case of Tennessee on different grounds
from the rest of the States. The tending to
prevent rupture between the President
and Congress has inclined some to favor her

protecting the rights of colored people,

No Indemnity for Damages Sustained
During the War.

The large number and magnitude ofclaims
from citizens of States lately In rebellion,
growing out of the destruction or damage to
property by the army or navy willie engag-
ed In suppressing the instruction, have
compelled the House Committee on Claims
(says a recent Washington dispatch) to give
the matter their grave consideration. Ever
since the formation Of the Committee in .e-
cember, these claims have been crowded
upon them, and the great Importance Of ess
tablishing some rule for the guidance of
Congress has each day become more appar-
ent. The Committee has at length adopted
q rule which was presented to the House.
on Thursday last, in the form of a resolu
ton, declaring that, until otherwise ordered,
the Committee shall reject all claims refer
red to them for examination by citizens of
any State lately in rebellion, growing out of
the destruction or damage OF property, or
appropriations of property by the army or
navy during the late war. The Committee,
in their report, come to the conclusion that
there is no rule or law requiring the recog-
milton by Congress of claims of this charac-
ter that the magnitude of the public debt,
created to suppress the rebellion, renders it
impossible for the Government to cOmpen-
safe all those who have sustained individual
losses from the action of any of our armies
in the field that the attempt to pay such
claims would impair the national credit
abroad, destroying confidence in the public
securities everywhere and impose such adj
itiOnal burdens of taxation as to give cause
for discomfort and complaint and lead to
the possible encouragement to the policy oil

Worse and Worse.

Mr. Sumner, Republican, Abolition and
fanatical leader of the United States Senate
a man that long since became disgrace to
the American people, has introduced a bill
into the body, of which he is a member,
that should be spit upon by every man who
claims to own the land of Washington as his
home. OF all the mean, black or infamous
propositions that ever emanated from his
yindictive heart or distempered brain, this
bill is the worst He proposes a reform in
the laws of the land regulating trials by
jury. And now for the reform The bill
provides that citizens shall be tried
hereafter before civil tribunals, and arrested
on'y on civil process; that where one
sirth of the population of any county or
State are negroes, that one-hGif of the jury
shall be composed of negroes, thus making
one-sixth of a population of African descent
equal to one-half the white inhabitants Of
such county or State This is intensely
sumner; it's Sumner all over; aad as full of
rs much cowardly insult to the South as it is
of inequality and injustice. Mr.. Sumner,
like all other evildoers, becomes reckless and
devoid of discretion at times; and in his
great anxiety to humiliate the beaten but
proud hearted and lofty minded men Of this
sunny cline, makes ridiculous ass of him.
SELF and would lead one to believe that he
is a downright lunatic, and, snake-like, in his
blinded rage, strikes at friend and foe. Does
Mr.. Sumner know that there is not county
in any Northern State that has a population
one-sixth of whom are negroes Ofcourse
he knows that such a condition does not ex-
list and he knows equally well thas there is
not county or State in the South where the
population is less than one-sixth negroes.
Now is it not plain that this proposed reform
of his, if adopted, will place the negroes of
the North at the absolute control of the
whites of that section, while at the South
the whites, partially in some cases. wholly in
others, would be subject to the decisions of
negro jurymen2 Then, again, the reform
bill bears on its face another and still more
malicious feature, which is, that it gives to
a negro culprit the right to challenge white
men, and at the same time denies to a white
man the right to challenge a negro Was
there ever such monstrous proposition
Could the Devil himself work up his Satanic
Maiesty's corporosity to such fever heat
Go it. Sumner: we'll bet on you being a
bold, bad, powerful man in the United States
Senate, and at the same time we'll wager no
little that you are the most deservedly we'll
whipped cur that ever made track "up
Narth!" o, for Moses to pilot US out Of
the wilderness that surrounds US.

ANEW Feature in History.

Among the many new features which are
now /" making history for the black repub-
lican party and which will give a finishing
touch to the triumph of fanaticism and folly
says the La Crosse wis Democrat, is that
Of having the National Congress subjected
to the opportunities and surveillance of a
negro lobby. The lunatics of New England
we're the first to initiate this disgraceful and
humiliating spectacle, and a Captain Down
ing is selected to represent that fanatical
portion of the country for which he has been
voted salary of $4,000 to cover the ex-
penses of his mission
Ohio negroes, urged on by Chase, the
electioneering Chief Justice, and Wade, the
lunatic Senator, have selected Mr. Lans-
ton to watch the doings of wsite mans
Congress. The salary of this missionary
darby is not stated.
New York radicals, whose political saliva
ton depends upon negro advancement, are
encouraging the sambo,s of the Empire
State to send the notorious Fred Douglass
as a lobby delegate, and for him there is to
be purse raised of $4,000
But Louisiana negroes have beat their
bredren in de norf," and have really elected,
by the aid of white mems votes, delegate
who they expect to have seat on the floor
of the House, draw mileage and per diem,
and an extra purse of $4,000 has been made
for him to operate with on the minds of the
palefaced representatives of this Republi-
oor rrovarpvDartI
It is supposed that after these salaried
negro lobby delegates have properly enforced
their humanitarian ideas upon the white
representatives in Congress and the Presi-
dent, we shall hear of egro Ministers Plen,
ipotentiary and Consuls to the black repub-
lies of Hayti and Liberia, and of the estab
lishment Of negro bureau or department
with negro secretary, and er c6fcto, cab
met officer
This is progressive age and lunacy ha:
more to do with its rapid strides than reason
or common sense. Hurrah, then, for negro
lobbyists and lunatics in Congress-
