The remains of this distinguished Ten
nessean are expected to be received here
this morning by the Chattanooga train,
and taken by private conveyance to his
old home near Hendersonfins ID Sumner
county, where they win be reinterred at
wo.o'eloek to-day. At viii be remembered
thai Gen. Donelson died during
Che war, at Knoxville, being then in com
mand of the Confederate Department of
East Tennessee.
Gen. Donelson was a brother Of An
drew J. Donelson. He was a near rela-
tive of the wife of President jackson, and
a favOrite of the OIL hero. He was edu-
Gated at West Point, but resigned his po-
sition in the army in early life. He lived
quietly on his plantation in Sumner
county, entirely avoiding public life
until the summer Of 1855, when he was
prevailed upon by the people of his
county TO represent them in the Legisla-
ture. He was the Democratic candidate
for Speaker of the House of Representa-
tiyes, Notwithstanding it was his first SEES
sion in the Legislature. The Opposition
having a majority, he was defeated by
Gov. Neil S. Brown, of this city. He
was reelected a representative from
his county in 1857. The Democ-
racy being then in the majority, he was
elected Speaker of the House. As a pre-
siding officer and legislator, he made
high character. When the war was be-
gun Gen. Donelson promptly rendered his
services TO the Governor of the State, and
was by him appointed Inspector General
Of the Tennessee forces, which position he
held until the troops were mustered into
the army of the Confederate States.
Soon after this, he was appointed by
President Davis, Brigadier General, and
sent with his brigade to the coast of
South Carolina. After operating there
for some time, he was transferred TO the
army of Tennessee, with which he remain
ed until he was placed in COM
maud of the department Of East
Tennessee. He had been promoted to the
rank Of Major General. Exposure in the
camp and the field had brought upon Linn
chronic diarrhpa, from which at his age
he could not be relieved.
Gen. Donelson was model soldier and
model gentleman. He was rigid in his
discipline, but SO urbane in his manner
that he was universally beloved by his
command Indeed, we believe that
he was personally the most popular
man, in peace and in war, that we ever
knew. We served with him in the Legis-
lature and have seen him in "the immi
nent, deadly breach, and know that there
was none more generous and more brave.
1t was in honor of him that Fort DOnel-
son received its name. As a citizen and
as a soldier he was an honor to his State
As a neighbor and friend he was an
honor to humanity. Peace TO his ashes
and rcnown to his name.

4 REMARKABLE man has been discoy-
cred in the person Of Thomas B. Bryan,
of DuPagc county, Illinois. He was a
candidate for delegate to the Constitu-
tional Convention in that State, and was
awarded the certificate of election. But
he has refused to accept it, saying his Op-
pOnent was fairly elected, and that the in
formalities which led TO the rejection of a
number of votes for that gentleman do not
alter the fact that he was really the choice
Of a majority of the people. This straight
forward honesty is 50 unusual in these
times as to be remarkable. This is very
different from the course pursued by at
least two men in this State. We allude to
Lewis Tillman, of the Shelbyville, and W,
J. Smith, of the Memphis congressional
districts. These men have claimed seats
in Congress when a large majority Of the
votes cast were against them; and now
when the usurpaiions of Gov. BrownlOw
in Throwing OUT enough votes to
Cr,,,-- pil,rir Iie.- uy,u DECLARED ilIv5al
by the highest Judicial tribunal in the
State, they still hang on to the places like
lceches. How strikingly the conduct Of
Thomas B. Bryan contrasts with this.
To say that Mr.. Bryan is a remarkable
man is to say that he is an honest one in
politics, and that we cannot say for Mr.
Lewis TilIman and W. J. Smith

WIZ. DELANO,S REPORT.

From the report Of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue We gather the fol-
lowing facts: The total amount of in
ternaI revenue receipts for the last fiscal
year was $50, O39, 3A29. There was a
gain duringthe first six monthsof 1886, 38S
compared with the same period of the
previous year, and of $26, ,Sl2, or
forty per cent, On the last six months Of
the year. These gains were chiefly on
spirits, tobacco, sales and incomes. On
legacies, SUGGESTIONS and penalties there
was loss of $500, 1872. The receipts of
the current year are estimated at Sl75,
600, 600. So far from recommending an
increase Of the whisky tax, as we have
been told he would DO, Mr.. DelanO says:
referring to the gains on spirits and to-
-- 1850 I-~--r~---, .ssy-fsi'' ls-'sI,,-

rH1E oExsUs BILL.

The bill submitted by the House Cen
sas Committee, among other things, pro-
vides for a General Superintendent and
Census Bureau, to be located at Washing
ton. IL provides that the census, instead
of being taken by United States Marshals,
as heretofore, shall be placed in charge of
District Superintendent in each congres-
-siohaI district, to be appointed by the
President. Each District Superintendent
is empowered to employ as many enume
rators as may be necessary to take the
census within the fine fixed by the bill,
viz between the lseiaa5rHasl goth of June,
Provisions are mat Sc tff i5liil for more
careful collection of%-ad1sfacts regarding
commercial, agricultural, manufacturing,
mining, fishing, and, indeed, all
industrial and material interests. Stats
ties arc to be gathered regard
ing the educational, religious, so
cial, reformatory and criminal
matters, and everything that affects So
cisty. In regard to the apportionment OF
representation, the committee have left
the number of representatives blank. Al
though the number of three hundred was
talked of, this, it was estimated, would
give one Representative for every 1873, 600
Inhabitants, the present number being one
for every 1913, 900. The schedules which
accompany the bill are numerous, embra-
cling all branches of industry and social
interests, and have formed large part of
the labors of the committee.

TENNESSEE IN WASHINGTON.

The Washington Geographic correspond
ent of the New York Tribune gives US
an intimation Of what we may expect
from Congress relative to our local affairs.
The voters of the State having by an over
whelming majority rejected Raicalism, the
effort is to be made in Congress to have
the State government "Tun" by federal
authority. This correspondent under date
of Dec. 8, says:
"Thc Tennessee Republicans are to be
represented here, during the coming scs-
sion of Congress, by several prominent
gentlemen from Nashville and other places
in the State, who have been selected to
present TO the public mcn'hcrc the condi-
ton of affairs in their State The Ten
nessec members are a unit the denuncia-
ton of the conduct Of the Tennessee
Legislature, and the policy by which they
obtained power
The following further extract from
the same correspondent, viii show the
character of the representations which
are being made in Washington 10y the
distinguished Tennessee Republicans now
there:
sit is stated that they are systemati-
callv, though cautiously, repeating the
laws by which equal rights to all the citi-
zens of the State have been guaranteed.
Recently an attempt was made to repeal
the law protecting the cOlOred citizens in
their right to sit on juries or hold office;
thirty-onc votes out of scycnty-two were
obtained for the repeal, but the law is
practically a dead letter The Legislature
have Just re-cnactcd the old vagrant law
in an offensive shape, providing that
laboring persons, who nave notcOntractcd
by the first of January for the ensuing
wear. shall be hired or sold for that period
to the highest bidder. BY another law
the tenant of land is not allowed TO re-
move or sell the crop until the landlord
has been paid. The object is to keep
cOl0rcd farmers under the landowners
heel. \ law in!iiciing penalties on COM
mon carriers has been repealed, which pro-
tectedthe cOlored person in travelling: here
after he can be charged first-class fare, and
put into any sort of car, and no remedy
exists. Another law forbids voters from
casting their ballots elsewhere than in the
district where they live Heretofore the
colored man could go to the county town,
where he voted with others of his class,
and stood a chance of protection; now he
must vote under the eye of his employer,

: STATE CONVENTION ~ AEN-
'EV-EKk

-
Gov. Stevenson, Of Kentucky, in lis
recent message to The Legislator recon-
mcn5s thc calling Of convention to
amend the constitution Of la, State. He
says:
Twenty years have nearly elapsed
since the adoption Of the present constitu-
ton of Kentucky. More than half of the
members Of the convention that framed it
have passed away. 1t would be indeed
wonderful had not so long an experience
of the practical operation of any organic
system Of human government, however
seemingly perfect its provisions, de-
veloped errors and defects which re-
quired amendment.
During the past eight years wonderful
innovations in our domestic polity have
taken place Remembering that no alter
alton can be effected in our fundamental
law for six years to come, under any cir
cumstances, | am Of the opinion that cur
best interests demand that the General
Assembly should so far recognize the ex-
listing circumstances Of a new era as to
submit the question Of a call of conven-
ton to the people. An affirmative popu-
lar vote would be required to sanction it
twice in four years before a convention
could be called. Amid the active agencies
which now surround us, few can doubt
that very many changes in our present
constitution would be absolutely required
before that period arrives. l therefore
recommend the passage of law submit
ting this question TO the popular vote"

or run the risk of being driven off If he
was to vote contrary 10 his wishes The
representative Republicans assert that
every law now the statute-books OF their
State sustaining equal rights before the
law win be repealed or nuDihed. Leading
papers are advocating the election OF dele
gates to the proposed Constitutional Con
vention who are opposed tonegro suffrage,
free schools, and. other-rights now in pos.
session of the people, They assert that
more than onelhalf of the present Lcgis-
lature are disqualified by the fourteenth
amendment and the State constitution.
According to the statements of those who
hold this view, the principal Northern
men who have been active in Tennessee
are leaving as rapidly as-possible, and the
condition of public sentiments and affairs
generally grow worse daily. 1t is the in
tention to secure protection from Con
gress, and already bill to meet the case
in view has been prepared, and viii be

Mas. LvERMoRE, Of Chicago, IS a
woman's rights woman. She made a
speech at the woman's rights convention
at Cleveland, Ohio, in which she let out
two spicy little incidents. During the
war she had some business with Gov.
Yates, whom she could not find at the
executive office, but how and where she
did find him is reported in her ON words
as follows:
''He (the haCkman) went in and found
the Governor, but told Mrs. Livermorc
that she must 90 in, for he could not come
out. She went in and there, behind a
green screen, that too many persons might
not see him, she found the Governor of
the great State of Illinois, all in heap,
dead drunk
The other inciden, is told as follows:
AT another stage she needed the sigma
tre of another officer at the seat Of war,
and could not find him because he was off
on one of his sprces. Aftcrward we
made that man President Of the United
States"
The Radicals viii hardly thank Mrs.
Livermore for repeating these little Incl
dents

HOW EuPEA CE5MENT EVIDENCE
WAS P{OCURED.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and
Sentinel has obtained from Samuel b.
Arnold, one of The victims of Radical
fury who were sent to the Dry TOrtugas
for alleged completely in the assassination
of President Lincoln, some interesting
facts touching the manner in which the
impeachers sought to get up evidence to
implicate President johnson in the assas-
sination of Mr. Lincoln That paper
says:
"About the time of theimpeachment of
Andrew johnson, and when the Radicals
were endeavoring to implicate the Presi-
dent in the assassination of Lincoln,
carpet-baggcr named Gleason, the present
Lieutenant Governor of Florida, was sent
to the Dry Tortugas for the purpose of
taking the voluntary statements of the
prisoners with regard TO that affair When
Gleason arrived, Mr.. Arnold was sent for
by the former and asked to make his vol
untary' statement, Gleason at the same
time giving him very plainly to under
stand that if some one else could
be implicated in the assassination
that it would be all the better
for the prisoners offering them
inducements to commit perjury and ruin
a man as innocent as themselves. Arnold
and his fellow sufferers, however, nObly
spurned the bride, and stated exactly what
they knew aboutth affair. After Arnold
had drawn up his statement Gleason added
an affidavit entirely changing the con-
struction of the document, which the
former refused to sign. Gleason then ap-
piled to Maj. Andrews, the commandant,
who ordered Arnold to sign as directed,
upon pain Of being shot if he again re-
fused Arnold told him that he was his
prisoner and he had the power to do with
him as he liked, but that he would die
rather than sign the paper Andrews, for
wonder, did not have him shot, and
Gleason departed with his voluntary st ate
| ments.
The impeachcrs failed in getting Arnold
to perjure himself, but it was not their
fault What corrupt set of rascals the
secret history of the times would show
these impeachcrs to be.

Of the fact that there is an iron establish
meut twelve miles southeast of Greene
vile, in this State, which cost 5000, 900,
employs one hundred hands, and turns
out daily eight tons Of pig metal. Such
is the fact however. This metal is sold
chiefly in Richmond, Knoxville, Chat

ton. We wish the State could boast a
hundred or two such establishments.

TIE Radicals are play ing a bold game
TO secure the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment They are under the i'm
preston that one State is lacking to COM
plete the work Gov, Bullock is in Wash
ingt0n laboring wi th terrible energy TO
secure this end, nd accordingly we find
that Mr.. Morton, of Indiana, introduced a
bill in the United States Senate to provide
for the reconstruction of Georgia. 1t
provides for the converting of the old
State Legislature, with the conditions that
no person shall be admit ed to member
ship who is unqualified ndcr the four
tccnth amendment, nor snail any one be
excluded thcrcfrom on &C count of race or
color, and then provides haiti said Legis-
latu,e thus organized shall ratify the ff-
tenth amendment the State shall be adj
mitted to representation in Congress.
Now Congress has just as much right to
reconstruct the State OF Kentucky in
order to secure the aSsc at Of that State to
the ratification of thefftcenth amendment,
as it has torcconstruct Georgia.
