Tar reinstatiOn of Stanton-the trans~
fer of the pc wers of Commander-ino
Chiefof the army to Grant--and the cur
tailment of the functions of the Supreme
Court are intended as a sweeping substi-
tate for impeachment Of the President
The defeat Of the cotton measure in De-
cember was not the lack of will among
the revolutionists, but fear Of the conse-
quences They foressw that the Presi-
dent was determined, by every lawful
means, to thwart their ruinous schemes
and, that If he succeeded only partially,
it would prove great impediment to
their plans for the year 1868 and they
set about to accomplish by indirection
what they did not dare to do directly.
They win find, however, that they have
raised q storm which viii fall upon them
with torrent of popular wrath as great
as they escaped in the abandonment Of
impeachment In mere party point of
view, they have given the Democracy the
advantage of number Of as formidable
issues as we're ever appealed to the
people.

BISHOP aUINrARD IN ExoLAND.

On the 30th of November, the Princess
Mary of Cambridge princess Teck) laid
the foundation stone of new church at
Old Brentiord, New London. At dinner
given subsequently 10 the ceremonies,
Bishop Quintard, of Tennessee, was present,
and in response to toast TO the clergy, spoke
of the intimate relations that mast always
exist between the Established Church Of
England and the Protestant Episcopal
Church of America. He said that
He believed that there was moi, all the
world over, body Of more faithful, earnest,
Woodworking men than tns bishops and
and clergymen of the Church Of England,
and that the blessings of heaven had sig
nally rested upon their labors, and had
borne rich fruit both in reference to the
material and spiritual prosperity Of the
mother country. On q very recent oces-
sion it had befallen him to act as one Of
the secretaries pro fem to the Bishop Of
Oxford, and they could gather some idea Of
the labors Of the episcopal Office in England
when he told them thatboth he and another
secretary were busily engaged for hours
in writing letters from the Bishops
dictation while the Bishop himself
was also writing letters quite as in
dustriously. [Cheers.l He had also
had the honor of staying with the
Bishop Of London, and he desired TO bear
his humble testimony 10 the zeal and ius
dustrv OF their diocesan The Bishop of
London was one who recognized authority
everywhere, and cheerfully encouraged all
whom he anywhere found doing their Mas
ter's work with singleness OF heart, even
if he did not discover in them an exact
coincidence of thought and belief on all
poiuts. CHEERS The manner in which
their Bishop fulfilled the duties Of bis high
Office reminded him of the answer that 9
lille girl once made in reference TO that
petition in our Lords Prayer, THY will
be done upon earth, even as in heaven
she said that il meant doing il without
asking any question, and il was Just in
that way that their Bishop had done his
work-boldly, earnestly, straightforward
~ cad witlsH asking any questions.

ont that the system Of purely secular ed1-
cation was fraught With danger 70 the best

PARIS, Jan. 1S.-Duke de Persigny, in
a letter, objects TO the bill recently proposed
for the government Of the press Of the
country. He thinks the press will be
allowed too much latitude, while he would
favor a bill to give more freedom TO the
press. The obvious tendency of the pro-
visions Of the present bill wonld be to leave
the journals free to assail both public and
private character.
STOCKHOLM, Jan. lS.-Parliament met

penses of the convention and at least a

Terms Of Subscription Again Re.
dueed.

In response to the stringeney of the
times, and to enable them TO reach a
greater number Of readers, during the
perilous trials through which the eoun>
try is passing, the proprietors Of the
UNION AND DISPATCH have determined to
again reduce the terms Of subscription,
and hereby announce te their patrons
and the public, that from this date, these
terms will be tf
For the Daily Union and Dispatch, per -,
annum w
For the Tri-Weeekly Union and Dispatch.
per annum D W
Having led of, about year ago, in q
reduction of the subscription price Of the
Nashville papers from fourteen to t,oelOe
dollars per annum for the daily-making
a corresponding reduction in the price
Of the tri.weekly edition-we take
pleasure in being again the pioneer in a
still further reduction, to the same ex~
tent We have thus brought down the
price of frst-clsss political, CONNER
cial and news journal IN Tennessee, to
nearly the ante-war prices.
Our purpose is to practice what We
preach. We are for retrenchment and
economy in every vocation of life. The
discreet and honest newspaper is now
a necessity in every intelligent and
well ordered household, and we are re-
solved to furnish the UNION AND DISPATCH
for the least possible living price, pre-
cisely as all the other necessaries Of life
ought to be furnished The time has
passed for grand speculations in the legiti-
mate ayocations of life in this community.
Rather we should desire TO see every
branch Of Tennessee trade and industry
become a mutual help and assistance,
each to the other, and so lay the fonnda-
tons of general prosperity wide and
deep, in the primary elements of self
dependence and local independence
We send abroad for nothing that we can
obtain at home, and thus we unite our
fortunes, as well as our lives, with those
among whom We live
At our present rates the several edi-
tons of the UNIoE AND DIsPATcH will be
within the reach of all who feel an in
terest in the great events that are daily
passing into the history of the country
and we trust that our effort will meet
substantial appreciation on the part of
our patrons aud the general public

JACOBIN DESPERATION

lu6 NutCdSO
The desperation to which the Jacobin
party in this country has arrived is COM
parable to nothing so well as to the wild
and bloody desperation of the French
Jacobins when that party of anarchy de-
liberately plotted the arrest and massacre
of the Girondists.
The question was one of partisan supre.
macy. To prevent the overthrow of the
Jacobin party, the leaders of that blood
stained faction enacted not only the de.
struction of the national liberties, but the
butchery of the men on whom the main
tenance of those liberties depended. So it
is in America to-day.
To continue a bureau for the subsistence
of idle negroes at the expense of indus
trious white men;
TO seize all unoccupied lands in the
South, and parcel them ont in ten acre lots
to negroes;
To declare proposed amendment Of the
constitution 10 be adopted without the rati-
fcation of three-fourths of the States
To punish and degrade the only Major
General of the army who has dared to
recognize the subordination of the military
SO the civil power;
10 Eei0StaI6 the WORST enemy OF AIleFl-
can freedom-the greatest butcher of civil
Justice under the code of military despotS
ism--in the exercise of power from which
he had been rightfully deposed;
To subordinate the Judicial to the legis-
lative power, by debating an arbitrary and
unheard of rule of action to the Supreme
Court;
And to place in the hands of the military
chieftain the authority of dictator over
the constitutional executive and laws of
the nation.
All these measures Of revolution the
Jacobin dynasty will hasten TO carry out.
Not to preserve public liberty. Not to rer
store peace. Not TO hasten reconstruc-
ton" Not to establish justice, or promote
tranquility. Not to relieve an overbur
dened people of onerous taxation. Not to
bring back private prosperity. Not to as
sure public welfare. But-this, and this
only-to rescue the dynasty of Jaeobin
theft, robbery, plumber and destruction
from impending overthrow by an indignant

IN the debate on the bill in Congress
modifying the powers of the Supreme
Court, there has not been an attempt
even to Justify Id Bingham got off some
bilge-water rhetoric in reply toJudge
Marshall, of Illinois, whose first speech
and reioinder completely demonstrated
its nneonstitutionality. The Congress
has no more authority to prescribe that
two thirds Of the court shall be necessary
to invalidate one of its laws, than it has
to abolish the veto power Of the Presi~
dent; or than the President would have
to order that the concurrence Of three>
fourths of each House of Congress should
be required TO pass a bill over his veto.
The constitution creates each depart
ment, and neither has the power to alter,
enlarge, or abridge the powers of any
other The attempt by either is bold
usurpatiOn.
