AGE OF SHIPs.-The number of persons
visiting our shores annually may be rough
ly calculated at half million. The nun-
Der of deaths from shipwreck might, there
fore, not appear to be large; but when we
are told that half the wrecks are caused
either by willful parsimony or sheer neg
leet-in other words, in consequence of the
vessels being overladen or unseaworthy,
chiefly of the collier class-there is every
reason to deplore such an unnecessary loss
of useful life. While ships age is a very
good reason to account for her liability to
be wrecked, the general reader will be at 6
loss to account for the large number of
nearly new ships that are damaged. Dur
ing the last eight years, for instance, eleven
hundred and thirty FIVE casualties hap
pened to newly built vessels. Possibly
some of these were laid down purposeIy to
be lost. On the other hand, there are ves-
sells that appear to have a charmed life
for instance, there are eight that have been
atioat from ninety to one hundred years,
and four that are one hundred and one
years old and upward. CasselPs Magazine

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July 23.--Atthe meeting
| last night Of the commission appointed
to present the resolutions to the Recon-
struction Committee, several, speeches
we're made, and measures Of relief sug-
gested by Senator Wilson, Of Massachu-
sets. He had prepared aibill providing
that all persons holding public Offices
shall vacate, and that all those elected in
the last election, shall, before entering
upon Office, take the oath prescribed by
the act of 1862 known as the iron-clad
oatb). II those who received the msjor-
ity of votes cannot take 1t, then the com.
mander of the military district shall
substitute provisional government.
The Mississippians at the meeting ex-
pressed themselves satisfied with Mr..
Wilson's propositions. After further
proceedings, Mr.. Williamson, Of Vir-
GINA, offered resolution, which was
passed, that Congress be earnestly
solicited to empower the Virginia State
Convention to vacate all offices held
by persons disqualified by the four
teenth constitutional amendment; to fill
all the offices with loyal men; to fix the
time of the election postponed by Gen.
Schofeld, and to make arrangements
for holding said election. The Conven-
ton then adjourned.
Senator Sherman does not believe it
possible for the Conference Commi.tce.o
reconcile the difference that exists be-
tween the Senate and the HouseFunding
bills. aa
Senator Morton is to be married on
Thursday night to Miss Cortland, of
Baltimore.

Hanrv 3. Yoote to Gov. Brownlow

Henry S. Foote having had an inter
view with John B. Brownlow, has re-
ceived such assurances and encourage
mcnt as have induced him to venture a
letter TO the "old man." touching the
present condition of civil affairs in the
State, and his (wm. Go future policy.
In the outset he says:
/ observe that in your recent proela-
nation, convening the General Assembly
of the State, in special session, on Mon
day, the 9th inst, you base your action
in this matter upon the following con-
stitutional provision,
"The Governor may, on an extraordi-
nary occasion, convene the General As
sembly by proclamation, and shall state
TO them, when assembled, the purposes
for which they shall have been convened !;
but then shall enter on no legislative
business except that for mich they shall
hare been specially called together"
In the concluding portion Of your said
proclamation you state, that on the day
specified therein, you will make known
to them lthe members of the General AS
sembly) the purposes for which they have
been called together"
| suppose il to be your opinion, and il
will doubtless be the opinion also OF
many of the members OF the General
Assembly, that it viii not be proper for
them to do anything whatever in their
legislative character TO which their at
tention shall not have been especially
called by yourself in your expected mes
sage Of next Monday. 1t is in this view
Of the subject that / venture to make
known to your excellency in this mode,
that memorials OF q most courteous, re-
spectful and conciliatory character are
ct this moment being subscribed in the
various counties Of the State, addressed
TO the General Assembly, urging upon
that body the immediate call By them Of
q State Convention for the purpose Of 90
amending the present Constitution Of
Tennessee as TO relieve from disfraa-
chisemenf that large portion Of our
white population nov iBcapacitaied
thereby from voting in civil elections. IL
is my earnest hope that your Excellency
Nill, in your forthcoming message, invite
the attention Of the General Assembly
TO this grave and interesting matter, 10
such form as you shall deem decorous
and proper, il being quite evident that in
this good work your excellency as the
Governor Of the State, will have 10 take
the Initiative, and IS your well known
influence With the General Assembly viii

Of Indebtedness and degradation, wili be
heard throughout our confines uttering
the language Of mingled jubilation and
gratitude.
II had been hoping" says Foote, that
you would be the first of the Republican
Governors of the South that would move
forward boldly and magnanimously in
the direction OF amnesty and re'en
franchisement This is now impossible !;
the high-spirited, undetermined Gov
ernor of Alabama has already set the
first example. VIII you not at least be
the second in this race of moral glory =
In another place in his letter Foote
alludes TO having learned that the idea
of calling out "a military force Of col
ored soldiery" has been abandoned, and
proceeds to add:
Be assured, my dear sir, that if this
intelligence turns out to be true, and !
sincerely trust it may, and you shall pur-
sue the liberal and manly course already
indicated, thousands and tens of thou
sands of those who now hate you and de-
nounce you, will become your friends
and your commanders. rrf
In conclusion the writer urges the ex-
tension to oil white citizens Of the right
to vote in the Presidential election, and
adds:
If any one shall doubt the palidity of
any particular class of votes offered to
be given, let his objection be presented;
but let the challenged votes be received,
subject to the ultimate decision of Con-
gress, who can alone settle this matter.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Ia the Senate yesterday Mr.. Howard
presented protest from certain mem
bers of the South Carolina Legislature
against the admission of Sawyer, charg
ing him with having been engaged in
blockade running, being rebel office
holder, etc.
Amotion prevailed allowing Robinson
to be sworn in, and certain documents
containing charges against the loyalty Of
Sawyer were then read.
After "a lengthy discussion, during
which Mr.. Robinson, the newly elected
Senator from South Carolina, declared
the charges against Mr.. Sawyer to have
originated from friends of DR.. Maokey,
the rival candidate against Mr.. Sawyer,
and as utterly unfounded, and said he
would vouch for his Republicanism, and
ability to take the oath.
A motion to refer. all the papers in the
case to the Judiciary Com mittee, was re.
ported by II to 20, and he was sworn in
as the second Senator from South Caro-.
lima.
Mr.. Sherman then called for the special
order, the motion relating to the ad.
journment.
After some further debate, the Senate
agreed to adjourn on Friday, until the
third Monday in September.
In the House, f. w. Kellogg was sworr

Alabama. $500
A bill. relieving Simeon Carley, mem.
Der elect from South Carolina, and also
Michael Hahn, of Louisiana, and John

A resolution was adopted allowing the
investigating committee to investigate
charges against Judge Busted to 81,
during the recess.
Mr.. Sypher introduced joint sesolu-
ton to aid in repairing the leveos of the
Mississippi river, and to provide for the
payment of citizens of Louisiana for
quartermaster's stores furnished the
United States.
The Senate's amendment to the postal

was also the Senate's amendment to the
Alaska appropriation bill
The Senate's amendments to the
House bill for tie relief of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians we're concurred

Judiciary Committee.
The Senate bill to incorporate the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of the
United States was then introduced and
passed. ala

From Washington.

There was much laughter in the House
at the admission of the Alabama repre-.
sentativcs. Mr.. Brooks, of New York,
was posted, and announced each mem
Der from Maine, Illinois, etc, whatever
State he hailed from before he was a
carpet Dagger. These representatives
were admitted in the face of the fact OF
the rejection of the constitution and
State government in perfect accordance
with reconstruction laws relating thereto.
The Mississippi Radicals here strongly
urge congressional intervention, 30 as to
reject the votes of five counties of that
State, alleging'gross frauds 10 the cleo
ton. If these were thrown ont the con-
stitution would be carried by 1900 ma
jority.
Radicals were polling the House to
ascertain whether resolution for o re-
cess instead of an adjournment could be
carried. Carpet baggers don't want to
adjourn at all, so much are they pleased
With their novel situation and duties.
1t ia probable Congress will not ad.
iourn until the bill to furnish ''loil ;"
negroes South with arms is passed over
the veto, and this will not come in for
ten days.
Gen. Gillem's report conclusively dis
poses Of frauds in Mississippi. He says
be stationed troops through the Slate;
that there was no fraud or violence, and
the majority of 1929 against the Cousti-
tuition was legitimate. The carpet-bag-
gers are crashing their teeth.
The Kentucky Radicals are working
earnestly to complicste Kentucky affairs
in connection with the fourteenth amend
ment A bill will be proposed making
it penal for any one who comes under
the provision os this amendment to hold
office, and this, if adopted. it is con-
tended, will apply to those now in Office.
The question of requiring the re-
apportionment Of the States is also dis
cussed, and even diminishing the cleo
toral vote of Kentucky aud Maryland is
seriously considered. Louisville COur-
