CATIONS,

When the Congressional delegations
from Tennessee came to be sworn in,
the Cobperheads raised a great hue
and cry about the alleged disIoyalty
of the members from that State, de-
handing the reference of their Gre
dentials tC a committee, and, con.
trasting the action of the House in
the EAST Of the KeHtucky delegation
charged upon the Republicans an at
tempt to tdhpass partisan ehds, both
now ard then, at the EXPENSE of con-
sistency and justice. The parliaren-
tary dodge Of the reactionists to create
political capital rests upon the Gus
tomary Quantity Of illogical assumb-
ton and INSCRIPTIONS dogmatism.
Between the Tennessee and the Ken.
lucky deIegatl5hs there is absolutely
no parallel.
What is the condition. of Kentucky?
When the boys in grdy returned from
the war, they were welcomed with
open arms, as teterahs In a glorious
cause. From the ensanguined field
they marched to the ballot.bo&, and
handed the control of the State Gov
eminent over to the ex;rebeis, in
whose possession it has ever since
remained. Al once Unioh men
throughout the Commonwealth began
to be prosecuted for theft political
opinions. In some localities it be-
came dangerous to utter radical sen.
timents. When Gen. Thomas. re-
moved his headquarters from Nash
vile to Louisville, his coming was
greeted by tho disloyal press with
sneers and villiication. That there
are not three ne wspapers in the whole
State that dare, in an open and outs
poken manner, to characterize rebel
lion as rank treason, and rebels as
traitors, significantly atsests the prevail.
ing tone of popular feeling. Equal
rights are remorsglessly trampled I'M
der foot, The negroes are oppressed,
defrauded, and presented without
stint. They are robbed, shot down,
and driven from their homes on the
smallest pro~vOtations, and the per-
petrasOfs of these offenses are often
not even arrested, or, when they are,
are dbCharged from custody by dis
loyal magistrates. Candidates find
their services in tho Confederate cause
their strongest arguments before the
people to secure position.
But what of Tennessee ? In 1865,
the State, through d Constitutional
Convention was reotgahi5od on a loyal
basis. The rebels are excluded from
tho ballot box and from Office by most
legislative enactmehts, the
disfrmohisement Covering some eighty
thousand persons. Men whose Union
ism Is unimpeaehabte, many of whom
served in she National armies, control
the State Government The negroes,
whose fealty to tho United State flag
never has nor can be doubted, have
been recognized as citizens, aHd pos

BILE despatch from Rome saws the re-
hgious ceremony in the celebration OF
the eighteen hundredth anniversary
of st. Peters martyrdom, and III rev
erence Of st. Paul and the canoniza-
ton Of The twenty-five Dutch, French
and Spanish martyrs in Japan as
saints, was one of the most gorgeous
witnessed in the world since the days
of King Solomon. The obsorvances
commenced with general illumina-
ton OF the city. St Peters shone
like great church Oh fire.
At A NJ. a grand procession of
prelates, priests, monks and soldiers
proceeded from the Vatican to st. Pc
ters. The Pope was carried on his
throne. st. Peters was magnificent
ly decorated with cloths of gold, sill
yer tapestries, paintings and 900, 600
yards of crimson silk, lighted with
many millions of wax candles. One
hundred thousand people were inside
the church, including the OK King Of
Naples, Foreign Ministers, 500 Card :
nails, Arehbishops and Bishops, many
thousand clergymen, friars and monks
nuns and soldiers from all parts OF
the world The Pope celebrated the
Gregorian mass IN Latin and Greek.
Two Interruptions occurred, viz, the
curtains of one of the windows took
fire, which was promptly extinguished,
and a man became crazed by the
splendors, and cut his throat The
Pope at once reconsecrated the church
stained with the blood of the suicide
Lit composed the extra music for
the grand mass, which was accompa-
med by cord on the dome of ST.
Peters and cannon at the castle of
San Angelo. The observances will

speech complimented Mr.. Garrison for
his services IN the cause of emancipa-

Russell frankly ayowed his former er-
rors committed at the outbreak of the
rebellion and OF which Mr. Adams
convinced him. Speeches were also
made by Messrs. Garrison, Thompson
