nounced in the Virginia State Senate, the
proposition to call the convention and all
its supporters as traitors to the South, is
one of the delegation, the proposition
having passed both Houses notwithstanding
his opposition. This delegation seeks to
get control of the appointment Of the Judges
of the election, so as to influence the choice
of officers.
Senator Wilson's bill now before the

settle the question as to who shall control
the preliminary elections.

matter, for about a month, is to be brought
to Washington by an officer.
The Tribune's special says the President

to Stockholm, was also sent in. Mr.. Sum-
ner will oppose his confirmation.
The Worlds special says, at the Sen
atorial caucus last evening, il was agreed
to continue in session until the President
had put in operation the military recon-
struetion law, and then adjourn.
The Herald's Dublin correspondence,
February 22d, says the greatest precautions
to guard against any attempt at outbreak
at Dublin are still kept up. The soldiers
are rarely let out Of the barracks, and not
at all during the night Meetings of the
privy council are held almost daily, pre-
sided over by the Lord Lieutenant, and
daily reports of the state of the country
submitted to them.

TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.

senate.
SATURDAY. March 9.-TWenty Senators
were present this morning.
Mr.. Trimble asked to be relieved from
the General Committee appointed by Joint
resolution No. 81, and nominated Speaker
Frierson in his stead. The nomination
was confirmed.
Mr.. I. c. Muse presented cOmmunica-
tion, rendering his resignation, to take ef-
feet on the nth inst. HH6 al
Mr.. Senter was granted leave to with
draw House bill No 874.
The bill authorizing the City Council of
Nashville to submit to vote of the citi-
zens proposition to loan S500,000 in city
bonds to the Henderson and Nashville
railroad, was brought up, and elected a
brief and animated debate.
Mr.. Trimble was opposed to an increase
OF the city debt At this time Bat q few
dsya since, proposition was introduced
here to authorize the city to contract
debt OF $500, 900 for new water works, and
citizens representing over S3,000,000 pro-
tested against it on the ground that the
city was already overloaded with taxation
and that it would be very unwise to increase
the present rate of taxation.
Mr.. Thompson said that if the people
were willing TO tax themselves he saw no
objection to it.
Mr.. Senter advocated the measure with
out regard to its local character but be-
cause he believed that the railroad interest
Of the State would be promoted by it. The
Edgefield and KentIcky railroad would
not pay unless it was extended to the great
coal fields Of Kentucky and to the Ohio
river, as it was contemplated to do by the
measure before the Senate.
Mr.. Bosom urged the expediency and
justice of the bill. It was important not
only to Nashville but to the State. The
debt of Nashville was only $s79,OO0 ac-
cording to the Auditors statement, and the
city property was worth ST, ,479,060.
The bill was then passed, with the amend
ments of the House.

1t was sad sight, and suggested mournful
reflections. 1t spoke of pale faces and bleed

spoke Of battle and cnrnagc-of defeat and
