with the departure of the "assem-

HOWAFFECTING "A Washington
correspondent tells how the Senate
OF the United States was deeply af-
iected and how the Radicals pressed
Reverdy JOhnson's hand in silence
when he said he intended to vote for
a bill he had just before denounced.
The correspondent says:
Mr.. Johnson, in brief but most
affecting speech on the sad and des-
olate condition of the South, and the
utter hopeleSsness of their being re-
stored to the Union except through
the consent and on the terms of Con.
SresS, expressed his entire disappro-
val of every feature of the bill. but so
anxious was he to welcome these
States back, and despairing of any
other method than that indicated by
the will of the majority, he announ-
GEO his intention of voting for the
bill. His remarks produced a pro-
found impression, and Mr.. Wilson
and several other Senators came up
and pressed his hand in silence"
Mr.. johnson is too kind. We feel |
his kindness even at this distance.
We feel the emotion; in fact we are
greatly emOted. Mr.. johnson loves
us so, that finding he cannot save us,
assists our enemies in destroying us.

brace Southern representatives, and

MADISON County, Mss Feb. 26, 1867.

The Nashville Union and Dis
Potch Of the 18th, speaking of the
colored franchise bill in Tennessee
says:
1t will be seen from our legislative
reports this morning that the Senate
yesterday passed by vote of fourteen
TO six the franchise bill. The motion
to strike out the section excluding
negroes from office and the jury box
was defeated by tie vote.
The Senate, also, passed the militia
Dill by strict party vote, and the
measure, on its transmission to the
House was Immediately adopted on
Its first reading, in lieu of the mea-
sure OF the same character original
ing in that body.
tennessee is thus fairly launched
ON the sea of dangerous experiment.
when, through the degradation of the
ballot, republican institutions shall
have been destroyed in this country,
the historian of their decline and fall
will find valuable data among the |
archieves of the State. The ruins of |
the grand edifice may bury ont of
sight the puny hands that put in mo-
ton the CONFUSION that upheaved it,
but the act will not he blOtted out.
The best men in the country believe
hat the admission of several million
IF ignorant freedmen to the franchise
privilege for partizan ends will be
he visible beginning of the end.

RA Washington telegram of the
27th, tothe n. o. Crescent, says Gen.
Grant expresses a determination TO
secure an early and thorough enforce
ment of the military bill, and he de-
sires that harmony should exist be-

the army officers, in order that diff
culties may not arise between them
in the execution of its provisions.
