DRowsED.-Wc regret to learn That Mr.. f. j.
MCCLURE, of this District, committed suicide by
drowning himself in Seneca River on last Satur-
day morning. He left his home about day break,
and proceeded directly to the river through his
own plantation. His prolonged absence alarmed
the family, and search being instituted his tracks
were easily discovered, and later in the day the
body was found in the river. The deceased was
man of large family, and maintained through life
industrious habits His mind had been affected
for some days, and there is no reason to doubt that
he ended his life in fit of insanity. lie was
about sixty years of age.

Suffrage I'm Tennessee.

A resolution has been introduced in
the Senate, but not ~-ted upor. declaring
1t to be the sense of the legislature that
no action should be taken in extending
the suffrage until Congress shall have
first passed the proposed constitutional
amendment. This resolution will pro-
bably pass.
There is considerable diversity of opin-
ion in Tennessee on the question of i'm
partial suffrage 1t is safe to say that
the great majority Of the ex-rebel popu-
laticn of the State, and these mainly en-
bracing its intelligence and worth, are in
favor of the measure, more perhaps on
the ground of policy and nee ssity than
frcm original belief in its justice and
propriety. Fully recognizing the fact
that negro suffrage is established in Ten
nessee and not likely to be disturbed by
the logic Of coming events they hail any
measure as one Of relief which looks 10
their own political fseedom. So it may
be safely set down that Tennessee ex-
rebels as a class earnestly desire the ear
ly adoption Of congressional amendments
looking to impartial suffrage.
While a few Of the more honest and
intelligent of Tennessee Radicals are in
favor of the same measure, the fact can't
be denied that ncar " the whole herd Of
office holders, Office seekers, and the tribe
Of adventurers who thrive and grow fat
On the strength of their loyalty, are
lead against universal suffrage, and
will leave nothing undone to make wbite
iistranchisement perpetual. This is
about the way the matter stands in Ten
nessee at present.

Railroad legislation.

A correspondent of the Avalanche has
got hold of few secrets with regard to
the way the railroad affairs of Tennessee
are manipulated. He writes:
The Receivership has been a nuisance
as expensive as improbable. Some
body's relatives or friends receive large
salaries for increasing the muddle, and
carte blanche to steal, if their tendencies
are in that direction And | whisper it
confdentially, that the tendencies have
taken that chute to an alarming extent
Especially has this been visible in the
management of the Nashville and North;
western railroad, over which the gifted
" General" Innes awhile presided. Innes
was one of Brownlow's pets, and had a
commission rs Receiver in his pocket
even before the road was jerrymandered
out of the hands of the owners. Three
hundred thousand dollars in bonds had
been voted, and as soon as he obtained
control. Brownlow placed third of
them in his possession. Being " Re
ceiver," he received them. He also ere
ceived for several months the earnings
of the road, managing beautifully in this
way until the employees, who had lived
sumptuously on promises, struck" for
pay Not long afterward, Innes, who
had tricked the State out of an addition
al $4,000 in salary, also "struck" " He
3" struck" railway train, and has never
been heard from. 1t is supposed he is
still travelling. There is no record that
he spent more than small sum on the
Northwestern road II there is record
that he received 100000 in bonds, and
the earnings of the road for several
N hths. And very naturally, for he was
- .ver,' so as TO hold both ends of the
roPe.

The Perpetual Copgress.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald states that there is q
movement on foot for the repeal of the
act for perpetual session of Congress.
The act, it will be remembered, was pass
ed. January %, 1867, and provides that
In addition to the present regular time of
the meeting of Congress there shall be "A
meeting of the Fortieth Congress Of the
United States and Of each successive
Congress thereafter at twelve o'clock N.
on the 4th day of March, the day on
which the term begins for which the
Congress is elected, thus, in effect, ma
king the session of Congress continuous
the whole year round. When it was
adopted it had a special object in view
to Satch A-drew johnson, that
terrible executive officer, lest during some
interval of congressional repose he might
perpetFate some bold act that would up
set reconstruction and destroy the Radi-
cal party. That danger having passed.
leading Radicals consider there Is no
Longer ans necessary f55f ezhausting yig-
lance and go in for little rest hereaf-
ter while others, fesring to trust Grant
100 far, are opposed to its repeal.

The Davis Case.

/ IesT-.o~-. Davis - now a o,ro.,t L.
| and sore trial TO the EedeTai oolsT6- :
not grant trial to him. 1t gave hun
dred thousand dollars for the catching Of
him, but it wonld now give four or FIVE
times that amount of money to have the
catching all undone. Mr. Lincoln was
shrewd and wise when he said, before
the catching, that he would rather pay
to help Mr.. Davis out of the country
than TO have him arrested in it,
Nearly four years have passed since
Mr.. Davis was arrested. For two years
he was kept in cruel confinement upon
the charge of treason, aud for nearly two
years he has been at large, under bonds
awaiting trial. The time for his triad
has been set dozen times, but pretexts
have in all cases been found or invented
for postponement. And his trial now
seems further off than ever. The Radi-
Gals don't seem to know what to 10 with
him, though they know very we'll what
not to do. They will neither try him
nor discharge. To discharge him would
be to acknowledge that the Government
has been stultifying itself for years,
whilst trying him with the absolute GER
tainty of failure to convict would be
such an exhibition of folly and madness
as the Government has not the temerity
to face. So procrastination is the only
game the authorities know. They hope
that he may die a natural death or be as-
sassinated-anythiDg to be out of their
way.

G. Hi. -kEinas.

Only Southern born man, who fought

conld have written the report OF affairs
in the military Department OF The Cum-
berland recently transmitted to the sec
retary of War by Maj. Gen. George III.
Thomas.
In that report Gen. Thomas appears to- to,
have gathered every story OF rebel
violence and crime, invented by parti-
sans for political purposes during the
late canvass, against the people OF hen-
tnckv and Tennessee, and sent them into
the world with his official Endorsement
after the occasion that called them into
existence had passed, and when the only
object to be accomplished is to blaeker
the character of whole people an'
arouse against them the vengeance o
mankind We do not argue here ina
Gen. Thomas, Virginian, was wrong
aud the people of the South right, the on
in fighting for the Union, the other J
r fighting for their States, in the late wa
