The Three wayward sisters.


The Chicago Times says Radical
newspapers predict that Congress
will make the ratification Of the
Fifteenth amendment o condition
precedent 70 the admission Of Vir-
GINA, Mississippi and Texas. One
Of thom says "The right TO enforce
such o requirement isas valid aa that
which dictated the other feature Of
Reconstruction"
There Is nothing about the recon-
struction infamy that Is valid. The
author, Tbaddens Stevens, said IT
WINS wholly outside Of and unknown
10 the Constitution" The infamy
il the creature Of Congressional
usurpation. Other ursupations have
grown ont Of II. Now an attempt
il made to sustain the validity Of
the latter by saying they are as law
full as the infamy itself. The news
paper from which we have quoted
knows that Congress does not itscl
believe TINT the infamy was lawful
It passed a bill totake the McCardl'
case out Of the Supreme Court, AM
thus prevent the military bills iron
being declared unconstitutional b,
competent authority.
What nonsense II isto say that
State outside ofthe Union can ratif
a constitutional amenment.

A Respectable widow Lady Commits
rilH Suicide by Hanging.
The widow Of the late Joshua Bond, q
well.known and highly respectable lady,
living about ten miles southwest Of the
city, in the neighborhood Of Johnson's
Church, committed suicide last Thursday
morning by hanging herself with a rope
from the stairs-bannister of her house. On
the morning of the fatal occurrence Mrs.
Bond seemed in as good health and spirits
as usnal, and attended to her daily house
hold duties with q scheerfuiuess and
promptitude that indicated health and
happiness. A few moments before the
perpetratiOn of the dreadful and deplorable
act, the mother with several of her chill
dren had been out about the place seeing
to the feeding of her stock and poultry.
She returned to the house alone, and in
less than an hour afterwards the children
went 10, and were Mortified to find the
lifeless body of their mother suspended
from the bannisteTs. The intimate friends
Of the deceased can assign no cause for the
act unless indeed it was decided upon in
a moment OF mental alteration, the sudden
occurrence of which was without any
symptom marked enough to attract atten'
ton or arouse the suspicion Of her friends

A Denial,

Judge L. C. Houk Indignantly denies
the statement of the Chattanooga Repu6
GcGa that he stated at the Radical meeting
in Cumberland county that Stokes was not
a candidate and did not want the Office Of
Governor. He says he distinctly and
positively stated that he and Senter were
or that they would be the prominent can
didates." He says he stated that "Stokes
had only said he was not seeking the po-
siiion," but that "he did want it, but his
modesty prevented him from 30 declaring"
The idea of coupling the name of Stokes
with modesty will provoke smile on the
lipsof thousands who know the hero Of
the Calf Killer. Houk says il was "the
gentleman who followed" him who stated
that Stokes did not want the race and
would not accept it, because he preferred
to remain 10 Congress-" What does "the
gentleman who followed" Houk have

The Chattanooga Republican announces
the arrival in that place on the 23d inst
of Gen. John B. Rodgers, who has been in
Washington since the Inauguration OF
Grant, importuning the Radical House of
Representatives 20 let him in as fioater
from the State. The Republican hears that
the Committee on Elections have reported
fayorably on his case, and that he will be
admitted to a feat on the assembling OF
Congress next December" This win be
news to the people of this State. If the
committee so reported, the matter has been
kept much more quiet than the vain old
man is in the habit of keeping matters
affecting himself.

FIRST BOARD.

The New York Post Of The evening of
the 2lst inst. says: aL.r
"The money market continues to worh
smoothly, the demand being goou,
but readily met at the legal rate. The
Comptroller of the currency, BY notifica-
ton dated yesterday, called on the national
banks for a report of their condition as
shown by their books at the close of BUSH
ness on the 18th instant (last Saturday..
The rendering Of this statement Tin lieu
of the quarterly statement under the old
law) is calculated TO relieve the market
by releasing amounts held BY the banks
with the view Of making strong exhibit
when called upon by the Comptroller. 1t
is expected that the country banks will
now forward considerable sums for en-
plOyment in call loans at this center, and
that these will, 10 the ordinary course of
affairs, be permitted to remain here for
sixty or ninety days" i5FnFM Ia 10
Secretary Boutwell, has issued an order
directing that there shall be no exchange
Of securities to insure the public deposits
in the national banks. This order is based
partly on the grounds that, as the securi-
ties Withdrawn are generally more yAlua-
bic than those deposited, the security to
the government is practically weakened,
and because of the additional risk in
Cured in handling and transporting the
securities, besides the time of public
officers occupied in attending to these ex.
changes.
