THE MEMPHIS RIOTS.

Our Northern exchanges are returning to
us with the most frightful comments upon
the late Memphis riots. Their accounts Of
them were distorted, exaggerated and false
in the beginning and they are now working
them up to supply an absolute demand in
the Radical market. Congress has sent
special committee Of investigation" to look
into the matter, and there is about TO be
fierce war of words as to the right of that
body to send out such committee. There
is no need for such disputes. Since Con-
grcss has refused to let the President unroll
the Constitution, which has been rolled up
As a scroll for the last four years, Congress
can do anything that may be suggested by
passion, or that may contribute to destroy
the principles Of free republican institu-
tions.
There are laws in Tennessee under which
people can be punished for crime upon con-
viction The Judges were appointed by a
Governor who does not yield even to SUM
NER in his radicalism, or TO STEVENS in his
Unsuitable desire for revenge upon the
Southern people. Whatever outrage has
been committed in Memphis can there
fore be punished. Let the person who
did il be arrested, indicted and tried.
That is the only way TO reach viola
tons Of law. Congressional COMMITTEES and
Military Committees and all other sorts Of
committees in such cases are the merest
farces. An that these wretched mourner sover
the Memphis riots have to do, is TO lodge
the information in a legal form with the le-
gal authority against the proper individu-
ais, and let the law take its course If the
law should prove insufficient, it is the duty
Of the lawmakers of the State to supply the
deficiency. That is the whole thing. The
riots are over for the present, and all the
fuss and fury afterwards, is that much thrown
away We will unite with anybody to pre-
vent future riots here or elsewhere. whether
they arise among negroes and whites, or as
sumo the shape of reckless and irrespon-
slble mob like the present Congress or our
State Legislature, running muck against
the rights OF freemen and the general liber-
ties Of the people. Ii is future preserya-
ton in both cases thai We should look In

\ HINT To OUR FARMERs.-The Nash
vile correspondent Of the Chicago Times
thus speaks of our efforts to produce cotton
contrary to the designs of nature. If he had
only added the subject of manufactures to
that of stock raising and provision growing,
he would have hit the nail precisely on the
head, and We would have united with him
in trying to drive it home"
fear our Tennessee farmers are devoting
too much of their land and labor to the cul-
tivation of cotton. Every body has gone
upon the idea that there must be a short
crop and consequently high prices. Tennes-
see is a stock, grass and grain growing State.
| fear the experiment to make il cotton
State will prove an expensive one. 4 stock
raiser in an adjoining county recently sold
$4,000 worth of cashmere goats in one
week. One eve sold for 81 300. This is
better than cotton. We have in this county
the largest number Of pure-blooded horses
and sheep raised in the United States. Wool
grown in this county has taken the first
prize, not only at the principal State fairs,
but at the world exhibitions at London and
Paris, also at the wool-growers' fair at Mad
rid. All this will come right in another
yesr. Tennessee viii again become a grain
growing and stock-raising State, and cotton
will be confined TO a more southern latitude,
where late springs and early falls will not
prevent Its maturity.

UPPER EAST TENNESSEE.

We take the following paragraph from
the State Line Gazette, Bristol, of the 18th:
SETTING THINGS RIGHT.-Maior General
Gordon Granger, of the United Staes army,
passed through this place Friday night last,
on his way to East Tennessee, it is said, by
order of the President, to let the people
there know that the war had ended and that
he had so issued his proclamation. We
learn that the General has ordered all per-
sons who have received orders from the
" LOYAL League" to leave the State to re-
port to him, and remain at their homes;
that the offenders shall be brought to trial
and punished. The General says law and
order have to be restored in Tennessee if it
takes an army 10 do it.
1t Is reported that a regiment of cavalry
las been ordered to Jonesboro, and that the
Union Flag, a newspaper published there,
has been suspended, but We are not inclined
TO believe either, though General Granger
might have intimated something of the kind
to the editor if he did not change the tone of
his paper.

ODD FELLOWSHIP--AN INTEREST
ING STATEMENT.

We learn the following facts from the pro-
ceedings Of the twenty-eighth annual session
of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows in Missouri, convened at
St. Louis on the 18th:
Since the last annual session there have
been eight new lodges instituted, and fifteen
that have previously surrendered their char
tiers, have been reinstated and are now at
work. All but three of these lodges have
sent in reports and they all show prosper
Gus condition in finances and membership.
For the term ending March 81, 1866, reports
have been received from eighty-four lodges
With some few exceptions, all the reports
were received within the time prescribed by
law, and l am pleased TO say there is de-
cided improvement in the manner of max
ing out and transmitting returns 10 this
Office. The law, adopted at your last ses-
sion, requiring the treasurer's bond to be
forwarded to this Office with the semi-annual
report, has been generally complied with,
but few instances having occurred where it
has been neglected.
The returns received show the condition
of the Order in this State for the year end
ing March 3lst, 1866, to be as follows:

ARRIVAL OF EX-SENATOR GwIN.

From the New Orleans Picayune. May Eth
Ex-senator Gwin, for eight months con-
fined in Fort Jackson, came up to the city
last evening, in pursuance of Gen. Sher-
idan's order, in these words: "Release Dr.
Gwin, and order him to report in person to
me in New Orleans" On arriving, DIR.
Gwin reported at Gen. Sheridan's, and asked
on what condition he was released; to which
Gen. Sheridan replied, "On ordinary pa
role" which he will give tomorrow. In
the mean time he is joyously visiting his
friends and relatives His immediate family
is in Italy. One of his daughters was re-
Gently married in Paris
DIR. Gwin was arrested on the last day Of
September, on his arrival from Mexico over
land through Texas, and taken down to the
fort the next day. He was seven months
and thirteen days in prison without any
charge having been made against him, and
without being able to find out for what rea-
son he was arrested. About three weeks ago
he was offered his release if he would take
the oath and leave the country, which he in
dignantv refused He refused to take the
oath under duress, for the reason that it
would be an admission of disloyalty, if under
any circumstances an oath under duress be
proper.
