CLosE or THE THBTY- Ninth CoNGREss
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says
1T should go into history that the
conduct Of the Thirty-Ninth Congress-
in its closing hours. was an honor to it
self and to the Nation it represented
Without exception, the demeanor and
bearing of both Houses was never char
acterized by more dignity or more free
dom from those indulgenees which have
sometimes reflected unfayorably upon
Congress in its last moments. There was
likewise very little disposition to press
Jobs in the haste and confusion of the
closing session, MS has sometimes been
the case. Three or four measures, in
yolying considerable money, and person
al in their character, defeated at the
last moment and the Congress expired
with a record Of sobriety, dignity and
vigilance and respect to the public in
terests uncqualled perhaps by any Of its
predecessors for many years

Radical BIasphemy.

s.rs Brownlow's success in political
life, seems to have inspired whole
tribe of small demagogues to try
their hands at blasphemy. Gen.
eral Hartman, in a speech at Bing-
sr-hamton, New York, thus deliver
ed himself:
Treason still turks throughout
the South. The rebels have only
been disarmed-not subdued.-
They are entitled to no rights
and still merit the severest punish
ment. To quote the language of
a minister way mp in New Hamp-
shire, instead of giving them place
and power again, they oaghtto be
taken By the ,aape Of tie neck and
held ooer hell till they sqnalled Ike
cats.

A new literary project has been

A new Literary project has been
started at the South. a picked
corps of the fighting soldiers in
the late Rebel army is organized
for the purpose of exposing the
shortcomings of the leading Reb-
ell Generals and others who we're
in authority. They intended~to
pick many a bubble reputation,
to. show how Quartermasters and
Commissaries plundered, how Cen
erals exhibited the utmost favorit-
ism, how the Southern army was
weakened by abseRteeism, and
how high officers sheltered them
selves in hombproofs. 1t is said
that the projectors Of this histo-
ry are thorough Rebels" but they
mean, nevertheless, to expose in
the most unmerciful manner the
way in which certain men obtain
ed positions Of honor in the army,
and their behavior when they
had got their places. It will be
"spicy" reading, and if the work
is done thoroughly and no fav6rs
are shown, it will be volume of
considerable bulk.

New York, November 12.-St.
Thomas correspondence gives fur
Their particulars Of the ter.
rible hurricane. There is not a.
dwelling on the island that has
not suffered, and many houses
have no roofs. The small houses
of the poor class were leveled to
the ground, and there have already
been buried over one hundred per-
sons, who were killed on shore,
aud like numbers have been
wounded and manned. Every
few moments the harbor throws
up the dead, and it is one continual
string OF collins through the streets.
Over five hundred persons were
drowned. In some places not a
soul is living to relate q word re-
garding their vessels.
The steamer Wye lost fifty-three
souls. Steamer Rhone lost all
but twenty-one out OF one hun
dred and fifty, Spanish steamer
Camugy, whose heroic Captain
saved many lives, lost seventeen
out of thirty. The American
ship Charles Sprague, had but the
Captain and one man saved. In
fact, hardly a vessel but can re-
port some of the crew missing
| Men were lifted bodily from the
shore and carried to a watery
grave. Not a wharf nor q light
ler is left. Houses were carried
one thousand feet in the air
Streets aresix feet deep with bricks,
tiles, shutters and doors. Nearly
every tree is uprooted. The
English steamer Columbian had
just arrived with 5000 packages
of dry goods, was sunk in less
than three hours after anchorage.
Eight millions dollars will not
pay the loss. Merchants suffered
heavily by the rain, as the tops
Of the stores were off.
| Up to date three hundred and
sixty persons have been buried
This awful visitation has inflicted
severe suffering upon the inhabit-
ants of this island, the poor espe-
cially.
According to private letter
received from that quarter, it is
proposed to sell the island of St.
Thomas and ST. John for from
four to five million dollars in gold.

Sd The entire white population of the

But the Ledger says
3or We are not at liberty to give the

that President Johnson has said

~ right of all free people to alter or
abolish their form of government

81 tutions, and it is the sworn duty
sc Of the President of the United

ted in the enjoyment, and that all
the States have a republican gov
eminent. He cannot do less; for
Eilany deprivation of such right
to the people is tyrannical exer-
lg-eise of power over them, which
Isis fatal to republican government.
tits not to be presumed that any
such interference with peaceable
convention of the people would
a'ntake place. If it did, it would be
9 illegal, and without color Of right,
slwarranting suitable action in SELF
defense, and calling for the exer-
else of executive authority. We
believe the people of Tennessee
do "want a convention" And we
c9irepeat, what we. have more than
993once said before, that we see no
si1reason why they should not have

SAready spoken on this subject. And
we hope soon TO have the views of
some Of our leading and infuen-

pediment of rightful reason why
we should not have a free and re-
publican governmental Tennessee.
And this, if we ever have it, will
be the work of convention. If
there is any good reason for unnec-
Eessary delay, we know not what
IT is.
