SeQuatchee.

The correspondent of the Gin
scinnati Commercial, writing from
Jasper in this State, August End,
1868, says "Sequatchee is an In
dian term, and signifies (if my au-
thority is reliable; and reliable or
not, nobody knows the difference,
very much possum,' owing, it is
said. to the numbers of these ami
mails that formerly fed and fat
tened on its wild fruits" If our
authority is reliable, and we be-
lieve it is, Sequatchee is a contrac-
ton from two Indian words, Sequa,
which signifies HOG, and Hatchee,
signifying RIVER; therefore Hog
River. The white people make
one word of the two, which they
call Sequatchee.

Tribute Of Respect.

At called meeting Of Calhoun
Lodge No. 26, l. O.. Q. F., Sept.
.l4th, 1868, a committee consist
ing Of Brothers T. j. Carter, L.
j. Price, j. M. Afford, and N. o.
Wallace, was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions, relative to the
death of Bro. W. P. VANCE. Phe
following was submitted 80 :
WHEREAS, The giver of all good
has seen fit in His providence to
take from our midst, in the strength
of his manhood, our worthy and
beloved Brother, w. P. Vance ;
and whereas, He doeth all things
for wise and benefcent purposes,
and for His own glory. Therefore
be it
sResolred, LIST, That we meekly
bow in submission to the God that
has thus chastened us-remem-
bering that the Lord loveth whom
he ckasteneth.
Resolred. End, That in the death
of Brother Vance, Odd Fellowship
has lost a warm advocate, our
Lodge worthy member, society
a good citizen, and his bereaved
parents an affectionate son.
! Resolred, Srd, That we tender
to the bereaved and weeping pa
rents and friends, our heartfelt
sympathy.
r. RsSoLed, 4th, That our hall be
clad in mourning, and we wear the
usual badge of mourning for thir-
ty days.
Resofred, 9Th, That a copy of
these resolutions be spread on the
minutes, one sent to the parents
of the deceased, and one to each
! of the Fayetteville papers for
publication. &

NE The militia and Kukl
T. ]. Price, r. S.


& The militia and Kuklux
laws were enacted by the Legisla-
ture, in obedience to Brownlow's
orders, solely, as we believe, to
stir up strife and bloodshed in
Tennessee, and so furnish capital
for Radical use in the Northern
States during the pending cam
vass. This, being admitted, is
a strong reason why the people of
this State should remain quiet
Let us have peace, or if collisions
do come, let the responsibility for
them rest with the Radical par
ty. Let us remain quiet under
oppression, for a time, rather
than furnish efficient weapons for
Radical use in the Northern States
Hence we counsel quiet, and say
let US have peace. War here in
Tennessee would give Grant votes
enough in the Middle and West
ern States, perhaps, to elect him.
So say sensible, observing Demo-
Gratis there, who know whereof
they speak. They are fighting
for us of the South. Shall we
palsy their arms by bloody broils =?
If 'so, we must have peace.

The Georgia Trouble.

Congress was to assemble last
Monday. The ousting Of the Geor-
gia negro legislators, the Radicals
say, renders a session imperative.
That inabroglio, simple as it looks,
will yet prove to be, the most per-
picking, we think, of the South
ern embarrassments. The "four-
teenth amendment" it is true,
makes all the freedmen citizens, and
declares that "no State shall
make or enforce any law that
oabridges the privileges, or immu-
mites" of citizens. But Congress
accepted the new state constitution
of Georgia, though it did contain
the clause which makes negroes in
eligible to Office. Will Congress
confess to its own qualification ?
Can it avow its folly without sug-
costing to the popular mind spe-
cifc and speedy remedy2 And a.
gain, if this section of the 'Sfour-
teenth amendment" applies to any
State, it must apply to every State.
If it can set at naught the organic
law of Georgia, it can set at naught
the organic law of New York,
Ohio, Connecticut, and SO on. If
it can authorize the negroes in
Georgia to exercise, as citizens,
every privilege of immunity accor-
ded to other citizens, it can author
ize the negroes at the North to
exercise the same. Now, as the
next Presidency confessedly de-
ponds upon the electoral votes of
Ohio and New York, and those
States have, by overwhelming ma
j6fities, refused to concede politi-
cal equality to the negroes, how
can Congress enforce this view Of
the fourteenth amendment without
seriously helping to defeat General
Grant? The quandary is obvious.
How to get out of it, over it, or a.
round it, so as to be consistent and
yet safe, is delicate problem, and
one which we fancy Congress will
find, if it should meet before the
election, the most troublesome of
its reconstruction embarrassments.
