RAILROAD RECEIVERs- INQUIRY

To the Editors Of the Union aud Dispatch.
The Legislature on the 18th December,
passed the following acts
An Act relating to Receivers of Railroads and
the nawer of the Governor over the same
Section /. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the State of Tennessee, mat
il shall be the duty Of the Receiver OF any
railroad to make, under oath, detailed
statement Of the receipts and disbursements
of all MONEYS received during each month,
said statement to be fled with the Comp
troIler on or before the 10th of each
month next after that to which the states
ment refers,
Sec. 9. Be it further enacted, That the
Governor be, and the same 10 hereby au-
tborized TO remove the Receiver OF any
railroad when In his opinion the interest
of the State will be promoted.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That from
and after the passage of this act 1t shall
be the duty of all Receivers to give a
bond of fifty thousand dollars $3.50, 000) for
the faithful discharge of their duties, 10
be approyed by the Governor and filed
with the Comptroller. :.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That this
act shall take effect from and alter It's pas
sage.
Will son be kind enough to inform the
public through Che columns Of your val
liable paper whether or not this law has
been complied with ?
The railroads were built by private
subscription of the citizens of Tennes'
see and the aid of the State furnished
through the tax payers, and it is a mat
ter Of interest to know how these an
ported guardians of their interests are
managing their affairs.

TEE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION.

Radical cunning has discovered that
the constitution is silent as to the precise
/ mode in which the adoption of amends
ments 10 that instrument shall be official
ly declared, and propose to appropriate
the power to Congress. That body having
seized upon vast powers which are dis
tinctly and positively given to other
branches of the government il is nothing
strange if they should seek to lay hold of
all that may be lying around loose. The
President, through his Secretary of State,
has heretofore performed this function,
which is mere ministerial one, and it
is very proper that he should do so. An
| amendment to the constitution ratified in
either of the modes prescribed, becomes
the law Of the land. The actions of the
several States are certified to the head of
the government-the President, and they
then pass to the Secretary Of State to be
placed among the archives. When the
result is ascertained by comparison, it
becomes the Chief Executive to declare
| it The Executive function never lapses.
The legislative is sometimes in vacation.
IL the latter should be the case for six
months after a ratification, should the
peoples will stand dead letter for that
time because Congress was not in session
to proclaim it as the law 2 Clearly not
Precedent and reason both concur in al
lowing this duty to remain where i
now is
But the willy and adroit sehemers have
an object in changing the practice. They
have bills now pending declaring the
fourteenth amended article ratified, and
they intend, for political purposes, to de-
clare that three-fourths of the States
represented in Congress are competent
to make valid an amendment It is ne
cessary to their purposes to have it held
that there are no States except those rep
resented, until the negro reconstruction
laws give the ten excluded ones that
character; and further, having, according
to their theory, overthrown the State orr
CARNATIONS in the ,Sonth which, in 1865,
ratified the amendment abolishing slavery,
they wish to cure the resulting defect in
that proceeding by formal Congress
sional declaration that their participation
was unnecessary.

THE PEABODY FUND4MEEFENG OF
THE TRUSTEES AT RICHMOND.

On Sunday we gave the proceedings of
the first days proceedings of the trustees at
Richmond on the 2lst-the next day their
deliberations were concluded. The follow
ing resolution offered by Gen. Grant was
unanimously adopted: msg
Resolved, That in view of the present
destitution prevailing in the Southern and
Southwestern States, it is, in the opinion
of this board, expedient that theyexscutive
committee and the general agent be author
lied, in conformity with the permission
granted by Mr.. Peabody, to expend forty
per cent. of the principal of the fund in
addition to the accrued interest, and that as
large a portion of said sum, not exceeding
100000, be expended during the current
year, as in their Judgment can be advan>
tageously used in promoting the objects of
tie trust, and the authority Of the board
is hereby given TO such appropriation"
A supplementary resolution was also
passed authorizing the general agent, where
he has already promised specific sums for
educational purposes, to considerably in
crease the same at his discretion and also
authorizing him to make the payments for
said purposes quarterly or semi quarterly,
in advance, if he shall deem it expedient.
A communication was received from the
convention (so-called) inviting the trustees
to visit that body. IL was voted that their
previous engagements would not permit
them to accept the invitation.
The board then adjourned.
The annual meeting will be held in the
city of New York on the 10th of June next.

The question OF veraeity between the.
President and Gen. Grant in regard to
the War Office, Of which the newspapers
speak, does not exist The latter has not
made it a question. He has never de-
MED, nor as fan. as the public know, ag-
thorized a denial Of the statement that
he did agree with the President to notify
him Of his intended course under the
action Of the Senate--a thing which he
not only did not do, but clandestinely
consented and assisted in doing what he
knew the President did not expect HIM
to do Not only this. He confessed sub
sequently to the President, and in the
presence of the Cabinet, that he had not
kept his word. He, however, has not
lied about the matter, nor has he said
that anybody has lied about him in re-
gard to it Yeracity is not the issue
But there is something about it as bad as
living Grants course, as is now proved
by. irrefragable testimony OF the highest
character, was pusillanimous and du-
pIicitous to the last degree. The Ma
t;onol Int1liiqeaeer and the New York
World have put the matter in such a
light that Gen Grant and his staunchest
supporters cannot eyade it. He deliber
rately deceived the President under the
word of n soldier and man OF honor,
and played with the high interests OF his
country as the paltry tool of set OF
reckless partizans. lie is General OF the

IT appears that Mr.. Washburne, Of
Illinois, who is Grants conscience keep
err, did not vote for the last reconstruction
bill when it passed the House of Repre-
sentatives few days ago This was no.
ticed and naturally created some talk,
especially among Grants opponents in
the Radical party. On Friday, last Wash
hurne asked and obtained leave to record
his vote in favor of the bill. The Wash>
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette now claims that Washburne
''really did vote Tor the measure, but was
not heard at the desk, or in the reporter s
gallery" 1t is very singular that WASH
burne was not heard, and still more
singular that he did not make the fact
known that he had voted, until he was
driven to it by fear of iniuring the pros
poets Of Grants nomination by the Radi-

HUMANITARIAN RAnRr

1t is manifest from the action Of the
Tennessee House Of Representatives on
Friday, that there Is an intention tostrike
down Judge Barry, and award him the
fate of Judge Frazier. Whether it viii
be done by formal impeachment, or by
address and resolution Of removal, is
not yet determined on But his upright
course has excited the ire of knot Of
Radicals, and they claim It of the party
that he shah be sacrificed This will be
sufficient to accomplish it The temper
Of Radicalism stops atnothing that balks
its purposes. 1t would as soon demolish
a whole court, nay, obIiterate the entire
Judicial system, as thrust out single
Judge whose official action did not please
it. 1t is utterly reckless in wrong-doing.
il, in the course of his duty, Judge Barry
has paid the respect to the constitution
which his oath of Office requires, if he
has administered the laws under the
maxims and in the spirit of an enlight-
ened jurisprudence, nothing could have
made him fairer mark for Radical
malice; for against these things ard all
shat savors Of them, they cherish re-
pugnance. If they prevail, Radicalism
would expire ltonly lives in the suc>
cess with which it is able to Danish them
as guides and lights in the conduct Of
public affairs
Thomas Barry was an original Union
man, clear of head and firm Of purpose,
and of answering integrity. The charges
against him lare frivolous and partisan.
IL he is inundated on the altar Of party
hate, it viii be an act Of feul injustice to
an upright and worthy Judge, but it will
form another count in the fearful indict-
ment which the wicked party now in
power will be called toiconfront ereleng
