es thereto (and they had and did,
then we have. And now we simply
propose to make further exercise Ct
our clear constitutional power, and
extend to our colored fellow citizens
the franchise of which they are iDju-
diciously and wrongfully deprived.
Mr.. Shepherd then took up seriatim
the sneers and sarcasm of Mr.. Lelly-
EFT, which indeed were scarcely worth
the trouble, and replied to them in an
affective and entertaining style. He
had not finished when the hour for
adjournment at noon had arrived, and
occupied considerable time during the
afternoon session.
Mr.. Shepherd is one Of the Union
men whose vote in reference to the
great measure pending, has been con.
sidered doubtful; but after his speech
to-day, no doubt in reference to his
course was left upon any ones mind.
One remarkable point in his speech
was his statement that during the
extra session OF last summer hehad
been approached by Johnsonian emis-
saries who offered TO purchase his
vote if hewould cast it againsttke con-
stitutional amendment. His answer
wassuch that they never approached
him again. ~ A
He closed his speech in tho follow
ing style:
The negro was loyal to the Govern.
mentOf the United States duving the
first year of the war-as loyal while
he was in entire ignorance Of his i'm.
pending fate, as he was after he knew
that the success of the Union arms
would make him free. Had il not
been for the aid of colOred family,
my blood would have been shed by re-
bells, and my bones would to-day be-
bleaching upon The soil of Virginia.
There are many other citizens OF my
section Of the State who could say
tho same thing. And shall now turn
against them, and deny to them the
rights which God designed all men TO
enjoy until forfeit cd By crime New
or, so,help me God Aud although
my constituents mayuot now all agree
with ME, yet, with the blessing of
Heaven, Twill myself do right; and
going home among them, will explain
my course and, knowing that they
ARE plain, honest, just and patriotic
1 hope may myself claim
to bel do not doubt that they will
Vt last sustain me, and sustain this
body in the righteous course which it
Is about to pursue.

SPEECH OF

Hon. W. H. Shepherd, Of Hawkins
County, on the Franchise Amend
ment. r.
Mr.. w. II. Shepherd, of Hawkins,
said he had little experience as u
speaker, and would ask the indul-
genco Of the House for the necessarily
disconnected style Of his rcmarks.
Mr.. Shepherds apology was unneces-
sary, however, for he proceeded ~ u
very clear and collected manner ~
state his views.
The people of Tennessee assembled
10 convention in February, 1860! On
the 9th day of that month certain
amendments TO the Constitution were
adopted, and the Convention adjourn
ed from day to day, until tho 10Th.
TheDitwas believed that those amend
ments were improper. And although
they were proposed, adopted and pub
Iished as the determination OF tho
Convention, on the 10th they resolved
TO reconsider these amendments
Had they not right to do so Z Who
ever doubted itg They did rceonsid'
or. II was proposed then 10 exclude
from the suffrage all who could not
take the /" Moses or Andy johnson
oath. This, The speaker believes,
should have been adopted, and that
would have fixed the iate OF the State
in loyal hands forever. Butthe Con-
yention, in-iLs wisdom, did not SEQ fit
to do so, and adopted the Och article
Of the schedule, delegating so much
of its power as concerns the elective
franchise to the first General Assom-
bly, that met under the amended Con-
stitution. That amended Constitu-
ton was referred to the loyal people
Ito those whom Andy Johnson said
should rule the State---to those, In
fact, that were able 10 take the oath
that bo presented. Whether the peo-
ple did wisely or not, in thus delegat-
ing their power to US, was for them TO
determine. But they did il, and who
shall gainsayf
The Legislature met and passed q
franchise law. 1t was defective. IL
permitted too many rebels 70 vote.
Il permitted all who were in the rebel
army 10 vote, provided they would
swear that If they had been in reach
during the elections Of 1854 and 1865,
they would have been willing to vote.
They were all ready to swear that /;
for, In fact, rebel, TO obtain political
power, is ready, willing and anxious
TO swear anything They showed
their disregard for the most sacred
obligations BY going into the rebellion
IN the first place, and they do not
shrink at any lesser perjury, There
tore, we have found ii necessary 10
change that law. And We did change
y in 1856, making IL more effective
than it was, Whyl Because we arc
the same Legislature, with congen-
tional powers. If the original Con-
yontion had right, after once de-
termining upon certain amendments

one of the most eminent jurist's IL
the United States, who has occnpied
some of the highest ofIiciaI positions.
Speaking Of the Tocont decision ofthe
U; s. Supreme Court he.says; i.
VI wouldlike an opportunity 10 crit
icise that monstrous opinion. For q
court Of such reputation an dignity as
the Supreme Court to say, direct
" or Indirectly, that there. is any
principle in the Constitution Of the
United Suites, or out Oft, that prohibA
its theloyal people Of a State from
protecting themselves and the govern
ment, by law, against the maehina-
tious OF public enemies and traitors;
is notoniy contrary to common sense,
but absurd. Such a principle would
make war and not peace, the normal
condition of society When the law
shall say that tenemies and traitors
have as perfect Alright TO government
as loyal men, secession and reb-lion

such . principle would destroy al

Le cture of Hon. Horace Maynard
In Connecticut.
The following notice Of tho lecture
Of our distinguished statesman, Hon.
Horace Maynard, at Windsor Locks,
Connecticut, we copy from the Hart
ford Courant, and is q just and de-
serving tribute. Nor does the writer
pass too high an encomium upon the
" vigorous and graceful rhetoric" of
the eloquent orator. East Tennessee
has great reason to be ard is proud of
him:
"a correspondent writes The lee
ture of Hon. Horace Maynard before
the Young Mems Club of Windsor
Locks, on Saturday evening, was one
of rare excellence, and deserved a
much larger audience than the unfa.
vor Bile weather allowed. His subject
-" Footprints of the War carried
him over much of the fighting ground
of the late struggle, particularly the
hardly-contcsted regions of Central
Virginia, Eastern and Middle Tennes-
see and Northern Georgia, and with
ont reyiving the horrors Of the bat
tIe-fcld, stirred the heart anew as
when we followed our armies day by
day in the, Journalistic panorama
Mr.. Maynard's vigorous and graceful
rhetoric and vivid scenic descriptions
repr duce the localities and events
which he touches with a living reality,
taking the hearer along with him in
bis swift course much as the railway
traveller is borne through a pictur-
esque valley, getting glimpses only Of
the varied features Of beauty, rugged
ness and grandeur which fit by him,
yet so that they all blend together in
one complete and harmonious picture.
The conclusion of the lecture dealt
briefly, aud clearly and decidedly
though in a kindly spirit, with the
present status Of rebellion; for Mr..
Maynard does not regard the rebellion
as ended by the termination Of the
war, but as having changed its meth-
cd Of development The animating
idea rem ins yet to be subdued. This |
lecture was a most generous and nm
expected gratuity on the part Of Mr.. |
Maynard to our Young Mems Club TO
assist them in their laudable enter
prise Of establishing a public library. |
Whether it was his purpose ia pre-
pairing tho lecture to enter the field
at all as a public lecturer we do not
know But the lecture itself as all |
who know the author would expect,
is one Of high literary merit, and such
as the lecture committees of our cities
and large towns would find it advan-
tageous to secure, il possible.
