Tennessee ana the Rad
ica1s.

fenhessee appears to have more
cohtsntion In her legislative halls
than all tile othef Southern States,
and yet the faaieals claim that
there are more Union frien in this
State than any other. In Missis:
sippi, Georgia, South Carolina, or
other States of the South, harmo-
ny has prevailed since the close of
the war, simply because they have
had no radicals in their midst to at
tempt to force obnoxious measures
upon them. Tennessee would not
to-day have cause for mourning
were she not filled with the men
who were too cowardly to take up
arms In her defence, but fled North,
and since the South has no army in
the field, the radicals are afraid
that her noble sons mayfll an &C.
casional Office. They are afraid
they will lose the power they won
through cowardice during the late
war. Gov. Brownlow issued a
proclamation in which he says =.
cit is my painful duty to an
nounce that civil Government is
again imperiled in the State of
Tennessee. The events of the
last three weeks give rise to seri-
GUS apprehensions that a large
portion of our people have not
sufficiently recovered from the de-
moralizing effects of the late re-
bellion to enable them to appre-
ciate the blessings of peace-that
their passions have not sufficiently
cooled to enable them to avoid o
relapse into anarchy or military
rule. A small minority of twenty
one members of the House of Rep
resentatives, by factious and revolu-
tionary proceedings, have succeed
ed in breaking up the Legislature
and paralyzing the State Govern
ment. l characterize this conduct
as revolutionary, because it was VI
olative of the spirit of the Constitu-
ton and laws, and arrested the ma
chinery of the State Government as
effectually as if the same had been
done by force of arms"

for them?
Let me advise YOU, Mr.. Arp, to
give up ybur high notions about
being SO independent. Come
down, Mr.. Arp, and say you feel
mean, that you are greatly re.
joiced at being SO well #olloped,
that you never would have shohtr
ed for Davis and the Confederacy,
if it hadn't been through fear or
something of the sort-then, sir,
you will be in the way of promo
ton: If you'll come over to Ten
nessee and just swear that, you
can be elected constable in our
beat, certain. But you have
qualms of conscience about it,
have you? Why, sir, didn't near
lily all of us over. here take an
oath to support Jeff's country?-
Haven't we proved long ago that
there isn't any binding force in
such oaths-that they have no eff
feet upon any, except such as may
be foolish enough to entertain reli-
gious scruples about their viola
ton? People not troubled with
such weakness do not hesitate to
take them at all-espeeially if an
Office is the reward of such moral
hefoism.
Sir, | beg you consider this mat
ter; you might be very infuen-
tial man if you'll only get on the
right side, and come over to Ten
nessee. The people like your
style. They can understand it.
/ sometimes think of starting a
newspaper myself and would like
to have your aid. Perhaps | may
hereafter explain to you the prin-
ciples on which | expect to con-
duct it.
Your obedient servant,

At Eufaula, Ala, the small pox
is raging terribly. The Mayor of
that city has issued a proclamation
requiring heads of families to re-
port every case of eruptive disease
which may occur within twelve
hours after its occurrence. They
are also further directed to suspend
a red flag, with the word "Small-

The Nashville Banner turns out
the following conundrum at the
expense of of the Radical majority
of the Tennessee Legislature:
"Why is Tennessee to-day like
Syria was during the year 1928 +?
Because she's prey to lo'o cusses.r'
And then it says: 'don't laugh
its only a joke" The Banner
ought not to joke about facts. The
low cusses are there, laugh or no

stitdency to determine whether
such a bill were not properly de.
feated by any resort short of phys
ical force. The more readily do
we make this submission in view
of the fact that the bill, if passed,
would be claimed to be unconstitu-
tional in its character, and only to
be altered or changed by a con-
vention of the people of the State,
convened by regular Constitutions
al provision.
The extreme haste with which
the measure was attempted to be
passed into q law, was not With
out q motive patent to the most
casual observer. The people of
Tennessee had been called to con-
vene in Nashville ON the 22nd of
February, to consult, as in former
years, under the guarantees of the
Constitution, now, thank God, be-
ing unrolled once more by the
worthy patriot presiding at the
White House in Washington, up
on the interests of the country
and State. The Convention
would be shorn of its strength
and power ifwhen convened in the
capitol of their own State, and be-
meath the folds of the flag to
which they had come to renew
their allegiance, they could be
told that they were powerless for
all purposes save to pay the taxes
for the support Of the Government,
and to yield obedience to the laws
enacted by a body of men repre-
senting one out Of eight Of the
people of Tennessee. Time sufli-
Gent and only sufficient to pass the
bill through its two readings in
the House and three in the Senate,
would elapse before the 22nd of
February, the day of the Conven-
ton.
In conclusion, we beg only to
ado that during the entire session
of the Legislature no political
measure was introduced by the re-
firing minority, and none offered
by the majority was ever called
up by the minority, for action
Always in their place, and intent
only upon measures of necessary
legislation for the protection of the
financial and commercial interests
of the State, they deprecated and
protested against all the action of
the majority, looking alone, as it
did, to measures of prescription
andpersecution eliminating in this
bill, revolutionary in its character,
and subversive alike of the char
acter and peace Of the Government.
Finally, they were compelled as a
last resort, to save the liberties of
the people, imperiled by meas
ures like these, to resign their seats
and return to the people the trust
committed to their charge.

NJ. Quatrefages has presented to
the Academy of France a curious
memoire on the origin of the race
of dogs. In China, he states, the
exact period of the introduction
of the dog is well known. 1t was
in the year B. c. 1922, that is
about 5000 years ago, or about
the period of the siege of Troy.
The dog appears, from what the
writer asserts, to be a domestica-
ted jackal, and the jackal a saw
age dog.

- Mr., Doolittle, in presenting the
credentials of Mr.. Marvin, Senator elect
from Florida, said:
81 rise to present the Credentials of
Mr.. Marvin, senator elect from Florida.
In doing so, | desire to say that, person
ally, have known this gentleman for
nearly 30 years and to his character and
high standing during that period, and for
his loyalty to the government Of the
United States during all this struggle, it
gives me great pleasure TO bear testimo-
ny. His services as a Judge of the Uni
ted States in the district of Florida for
many years, are known to the whole
country His ability as a Judge in the
administration of our law, and admirali-
ty jurisdiction, are known not only to
the country but to the world. One of
the best works ever published on admi-
rality jurisdiction, which is often quoted
in the courts of England, was written by
him; and, sir, it is with great pleasure
that | can say it, upon this subject in my
mind there is a very great distinction
He is capable and willing to take the
oath which has been prescribed a, being
necessary to be taken by every member
of the House and Senate when they enter
this body
As Mr.. Marvin can take the test oath, .
the senate, in refusing him seat, neces- .
sariaily challenges the validity of his I
election. 1t disputes the existence of the
State sending him there, for his seat is
aot cont ested. 1t is we'll that the cues
ton has been thus plainly presented.
The Senate, to be consistent, must now
adopt the Stevens doctrine and policy,
and provide territorial governments for
he Southern States. 1t must entirely
,epudiate the action of the President in
establishing provisional governments,
md all proceedings based on such action.
Governor Marvin maintained a Uni
ed States district court i'll Florida for
months after the rebellion commenced,
md the Supreme court recognized in sew
'ral cases the validity of his action. Ia
20 doing it decided Florida to be a State
n the Union. The Senate, in denying
Ter existence as a State, disputes not only
he authority of the court but of the
PRESIDENT Chicago Times.
