TESNEssEE LEGIslATURE.
senate.


SATURDAY, Noy. 9, I867.-Senator Ca
rey introduced bill incorporating Jew
ish Benevolent Society in Davidson.
Under suspension of the rules, a reso-
lution offered by Senator Cate, suspending
j. s. Hull from his position as Warden of
the penitensiary, was adopted.
The Committee on Immigration report
ed in favor of the bill TO incorporate a
Board of Immigration, with an amend-
ment appropriating $1,000 to assist in turn
ing the tide of immigration TO Tennessee.
Senator Garner was opposed TO the bill
aad amendment He said this bill gave too
much political power to the Executive.
We once had Vice President who was
elected as Republican, but what is he
noY? The successor of our present Gov
ernor may be corrupt enough to nse the
whole machinery put in his hands by this
bill, to importing voters here to defeat the
Republicans.
Senator Carey warmly advocated the bill,
and contended that our only hope OF dl-
verting the tide of immigration from its
accustomed channel towards the North
west, ia to organize and have agents ready
to meet the immigrant and inform him of
the vast resources of our State, and its soft,
healthfnl climate. Missouri has we'll
organized agency, and to-day her hidden
wealth is being brought to light by the
thrift and energy of the immigrants, who
are brought into the State by the very ma
ehinery we now propose to inaugurate.
Senator Mathews was opposed to the bill.
He did not think the bill, if passed, would
bring immigrants here. The lands here
are in the hands of a landed aristocracy,
and YOU mast break up this aristocracy.
If immigrants should come here and pro-
pose to settle in Davidson county, where
could they get place to rest their feet
upon?
Senator Eckle urged the Importance of
doing something to invite immigration to
this State He did not believe the land
holders were opposed to immigration. He
believed that the land-holders were very
willing to sell their lands, they were bur
dened with taxes upon their lands, and if
we could induce large influx of German
immigration, the country would he de-
veloped and taxes reduced.
Senator Lyle thought as the land
holders were to be benefited by immigra-
ton. that they should contribute their five
hundred or Thousand dollars, to aid in per-
fecting the machinery of immigration.
Senators Fuson and Rodgers briefly dis
cussed the bill, urging its passage. The
bill was then passed on its second reading
by Is to Z.
Senate Bill creating new Chancery
division in Davidson county, and new
Judicial circuit, for the purpose of criminal
trials in East Tennessee, was passed lts
third reading.
Adjourned till Monday at 10 o'clock.

THE EXPRESS ROBBERY AT JACK
SON-ARREsT OF THE THIEVES.

A correspondent of the Memphis Ard~
lanche gives the following particulars of
the arrest OF the parties who robbed the
express Office at Jackson on the 30th ult:
"At first suspicion rested on the negro
how who was employed TO sweep ont the
store in front of the Office. He was at once
arrested, and, strange 10 say, became fright
ened. and confessed TO having committed
the robbery in connection with his brother,
who had gone toward Louisville with the
money. His whole statement concerning
the manne. in which the theft had been
committed was 10 confused and conflicting
"a TO cause Mr.. Clarke to disbelieve his
statements altogether. Besides, two strange
white men had been seen in town for sew
eral days, and frequently hanging around
the express Office. The morning before
the robbery occurred, they both came into
the Office, passed through into the back
room, stood by the FIRE a minute or two, then
passed out towards the front, taking good
look into the interior of the office as they
passed by. This singular conduct on
the part Of persons, entire strangers TO
every man in the community, was observed
by several at the time. Next morning,
after the robbery was discovered, inquiry
was made concerning these strangers, bal
no trace of them could be had. They had
left sometime in the night, as they had
been seen as late as ten o'clock Tuesday
evening. A full description of them was
telegraphed to Memphis, Nashville, Grand
Junction, Corinth, and all other points
where they might possibly go by railroad
1t was soon discovered that they had been
in Memphis the day after the robbery, but
had gone up the Memphis and Ohio road
toward Nashville They arrived in Nash
vile, made an effort to rob a store, but
failing in This, went on to Chattanooga
where the agent OF the Southern Expres'
at that point was waiting to receive them
They were at once taken into custody, ane
will, perhaps, be sent back here Tor exam
inalion in a day or two. When arresteS
an Chattanooga there wee four together
two precisely filling the description oil th'
strangers seen here. | understand one o.
them is a man named Jack Cannon, Weil
known in police circles in Memphis as
professional thief"

SUFFRAGE.

The acknowledgements of the whites OF
Tennessee Recommended by a Home
RadicaI-The Views OF the shelby
Vile Republican.
The Shelbyville, Tenn, Republican, of
the Sth inst, as staunch Radical paper as
is published within the State, has the fol-
lowing suggestions on the subject of wiping
out the odious disfranchising law Of this
State:
Suffrage having now been conferred
upon large class denied it before the war,
we desire the large class being now denied it
because Of the war, to be enfranchised, and
all classes henceforth restrained from de-
priving each other of it. In this we be-
leve there is peace, order andprosperity.
Heretofore we have strenuousiy opposed
the enfranchisement of the Rebels, because
they strenuously opposed the enfranchise-
ment of the negroes. The latter being now
enfranchised contrary TO the desires of the
former, let the former be enfranchised with
the assent of the latter, and then let the
matter rest, in peace and permanently. We
hope some Congressional legislation will be
effected this winter that will secure univer-
sal or impartial suffrage over all opposition,
North or South. Such legislation might
sweep all of us Radicals from Office in the
South, but if it did our places would be
filed by honorable ex-6ghting Rebels who
would scorn to betray the nation into an
other civil war to re-establish slavery.
Slavery ia what We wish to see completely
eliminated from the republic, and not mere
ly Radicals installed in office forever.
When our measures are 80 firmly estab-
lished as to insure our principles, then
throw vide open the gates to all, for Offices
and honors. If this should not be done by
Congress, then We are in favor of Tennessee
the pioneer State of the South in the march
of freedom, leading the way.
We hail this asan omen Of good. 1t only
forsshadows what is destined to be the po'
sition of every Radical in the State who
has any self-respect or pretends any atiee'
ton for the principles of republican gov
ernment What do other Radical papers
say? Will the Legislature take up and
consider the proposition?

aEy- FATHER RYAN.

We are sure we but speak the sentiments
of hundreds Of our best citizens, when We
state that in the departure Of this eloquent
gentleman, Knoxville loses one whom all
loved and admired His labors here have
not been in vain, and his place cannot be
easily supplied. His liberal views, deep,
earnest piety, benevolent disposition and
eloquent pulpit efforts, never failed to draw
large crowds every Sabbath from all de-
nominations. He possesses none of that
narrow-minded bigotry which tolerates no
other creed of religious belief, but with q
heart large enough in its views to embrace
suffering humanity, no matter where found
or under what conditions, he vent about
"doinQ good" The world is better By
having such men in it, and We regret that
others fail to cultivate that charity and
deep humility which so pre- eminently
characterize this gentleman.
He leaves us at noon to-day, but We
would fair hope that ere long We shall have
him in our midst again, where he is SC
much admired. We part with him 10 re
| gret, and wish him God speed wherever b
