Dou a reported dinner said to have been

too, are vieing with each other to see
who can throw the most mud, write the

peace warriors that Mr. Breckinridge has

or act to influence the Radical mind or
attract the attention of the Loil" Mad
Bull. There is no epithet that they have
not accused him of The Chicago Re-

UnweIcome News.

New ORLEANS, March 9.--The order
received here tonight which assigns
Lieutenant-general Phil II. Sheridan to
the command of this department has cre-
ated a profound depression among the
citizens. Nothing else is talked OF In
the clubs. and the rotunda of the st.
Charles is flied with a crowd eager for
further intelligence. The order surpris-
ed every one at headquarters, and none
more than General Buchanan. Groups
of men are congregated on Canal Street
gloomily discussing the order. 1t IS
s.,-.s--lt sl.--A- -Sh asislsesss1y ftfeasnre, his
unpopularity being known to President
Grant. 1t was said by moderate Repub-
licans that it was mistake to send him
here. The extreme Radicals, carpet
baggers and negroes are exultant and can
not conceal their delight. Warmoth is
said to be alarmed at the prospect as he
fears Sheridan may hamper him aud per-
haps take the reins out Of his hands.
Preparations to receive Sheridan are
freely discussed by the negroes, who ex-
pect a gala day. The different Demo
cratic clubs, it is said, will use every eff
fort 10 avoid any collision with the ne
groes. A prominent planter tonight
said he intended to plant heavily this
year, but that if Sheridan was coming
he should go home and cultivate nothing
but garden, as it would be impossible
to control the labor of the negroes with
Sheridan in command. ss r. 3s4sseltt

IoISson,s Last LicIx.

The follswing is the conclusion of Ex-
President Johnson's farewell address to
theIpeople of the United States:
1.-The generation just beginning to use
the ballot box, it is believed, will only
need that their attention should be called
to these Considerations to indicate by
their votes that they wish their represen-
tatives to observe all the restraints which
the people il, adopting a Constitution in
.t. tended to ippose upon party excess

,hsa ountability to GS a., having consci-
loltiously endeavored 20 discharge my
shole duty, 1 have nothing to regret
Events have proved the correctness of the
policy set forth in my first and subse-
quent messages.
The woes which followed the rejection
of forbearance, magnanimity' and con-
stitutional rule, are known and deplored
by the nation. 1t is a matter of pride
and qualification, in retiring from the
most exalted position in the gift of the
people to feel and know, that in long,
arduous, aud eventful public life,. my ac-
tions have never been influenced by de-
sire for gain, and that can in all sim
cerity inquire, whom have l defrauded?
whom have / oppressed? or at whose
hand have received any bribe to blind
my eyes. herewith? No responsibility
for wars that have been waged or blood
that has been shed, rests upon me. My
thoughts hsye been those of peace, and
my efforts have ever been 70 allay con-
tentio9s ameng my countrymen. Forget
ting the pasl let US return to the first
principles of the Government, and, un-
furling the, banner of our country, in

ConstitutionaI Amendment.

The new Constitutional Amendment
reads: y;s ssslsa
The right of the citizen of the Uni
ted States 10 vote shall not be abridged
kby the United States or any State on ac-
count of race, color or previous condi-
. tien of servitude.
The Cincinnati Enquirer sums up the
meaning of this AS follows: 1T forbids
rthe exclusion of negroes from the suf.
frage on account of their being negroes.
Ii admits the power to exclude them from
holding Office because of their color. 1t
limits the power in any State to ex.
e'p3e citizens, OF the United States, white
or black, from the suffrage, and from
holding Office by rules of qualification
Relating to- property, tax paying, educa-
don, language, nativity, religion, and
any other . aecoants"- not forbidden.

Governor snter.

Il.
When Mr.. Senter succeeded to The OF
fee of Governor of Tennessee, the .peo-
pie rejoiced at being relieved of Brown
low, INDUCED faint hope that the
change must result in good. 1t seems
they have exchanged bold, merclless
tyrant, for weak, timid, irrresolute pup
pet, and one that has no more idea OF
the duties and responsibilities Of his
great Office than Carol county back
woods constable, or knowing, lacks nerve
to act He appears to have yielded all
his authority to Gen. Joseph Cooper, the
commander of the militia, who rants and
orders regardless of Gov. Senter or any
State authority. Cooper's will is law it
would seem. The citizens of county,
irrespective of party, get up petition to
their Governor, praying fer relief, pledg-
ing him the faith of the whole people to
maintain the peace and to give all neces-
sary aid to the State authorities in exeeu-
ting the law, Gen. Cooper proclaims that
the petition shall not be granted, and
dictates terms to suit himself, as if the
people were slaves. and everything de-
pended on his say so. Cooper is the
name to whom Tennesseans must pay
homage. Up to this time he has beer
real Executive of Tennessee. Who car
say that Tennesseei is bettered by the e1
change. They have only exchanged

THE 1MunaRAr1oN MEASURE.

I'M hEAoO1 1@I.
On Monday next the consideration of
the I'll for the Inauguration of a scheme
of Immigration in Kentucky is to be re-
sumed in the Senate, when | trust the
measure will pass. 1t may be that the
bill is not in all respects just what 1t
ought to be, but such a law will be
great deal better than none at all. Were
the session not so near its close your
correspondent would take the liberty of
urging that it should be made more lib
eral in its provisions, but as the case
stands he would impress upon legisla-
tors their duty to pass it as it has come
from the hands of the committee. I'm
less legislators assist in doing thus much
in response to the demands from all
parts of the Commonwealth for more
labor, do not see how they can go home
with clear conscienees to their constitu-
ents. The institution of judieious sys-
TEN for the promotion of immigration to
Kentucky would be an incalculable
blessing to the State. n
THE MISSISSIPPI RIvER-ITs INCUR
sIoNs.
An effort was made to get an appro-
priation of $4,000 through the House
for the protection of the towns of Hick-
man and Columbus against the ravages
of the Father of Waters, but it is hard
ly necessary TO observe that it failed If
those places are without the ability to
stand firm against the encroachments of
the Mississippi, they must meet their
fate as best they may.
RELIEF OF sHERIFFs.
Bills for the relief of Sheriffs of par
ticular counties occupied much of the
time of the Senate this morning. If
some general law foe the regulation of
such matters could be agreed upon, it
would save the State a great deal of ex-
pense.
THE MARRIAGE OF FIRST COUSINS.
A motion has been entered to recon
slider the vote whereby the bill prohibit
ing the marriage of first cousins was
rejected in the House but that, l think,
will be the last of the matter for this ses-
sion. People will be left, as they have
heretofore been, to act according to their
own Judgment or inclination in the pre-
misses Ex-Governor Magofin was, L
believe, the original advocate and cham
pion of the proposed restriction upon
consanguineous marital contracts.
ABOLITION OF STRIPES.
[ mentioned, some time ogo, the intro
duction of bill by Judge Phister, pro-
hibiting the use of stripes as a punish
ment for crime in the Commonwealth.
This morning the bill came to vote in
the House of Representatives, and was
supported by all the members present
except seven. The Senate will doubtless
concur in the measure.
STATE AID.
The bill submitting to the people the
question as to the issue of bonds to the
amount Of ten million dollars for public
improvements came up in the House this
morni, :, and was most ably advocated
by tho Representative who introduced it,
Gen. VIM. Preston. Messrs Spalding,
Read, Simmons and Browne also spoke
upon the measure. The discussion oc-
cupied the greater part of the morning
session, and will be resumed to morrow
| take it as foregone conclusion that
the bill will pass. Even if there are
members of the Legislature who oppose
internal improvement in Kentucky, they
certainly have no sort of right to object
