To the Editors Of the Union and American
Troy, May There was a considerable
storm passed through our county, on the
18Th inst. An immense amount of rain
and some hail, but so far as We have been
able 10 learn, there was but little damage
done considering the 4ierceness of The
wind. The weather is still cold, and the
farmers are looking very blue, which, to-
getLer with the fact that the United States
Revenue collector has just been around,
gives a blue tinge TO the color of the
merchants, doctors and business mems
faces generally. Yet we might console
ourselves with the idea perhaps We will
not pay any State or county taxes this
wear in Obion, as the RAP whom the
County Court put in at the April term has
failed up TO this wiring 10 give bond.

Messrs Editors, can you tell us why the
thirty fifth section in the Code Of Tennes-

number of the acts Of each Congress to snp
NV each county clerk with copy. Ii
has never bsen repealed that We have any
knowledge Of and We think it an excellent
law and should be carried out, az it ia al
most impossible to procure the acts at
court or any OF our county towns.
The election for Chancellor and Attorney
General will soon come off in our chancery
and iodicial districts Judge Sewers, the
present incumbent by appointment, is a
candidate for election az Chancellor. He

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

Correspondence of the Louisville Courier
Journal.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-THE
cabinet considered and partially decided
PORTIONS of the Virginia question at its
meeting to-day. The conservative Rea
publicans of Virginia submitted the iol~
lowing plan to the cabinet: For a vote
on the constitution, to vote for OF against,
excepting the following portions thereof,
which are to be. voted on separately:
First-FOr or against the fourth sub
section on the first section of the third
article, referring to the disfranchising
clause.
Second-For or against so much of
the seventh section Of the third article
as prescribes an additional oath to be
taken by all voters and officers. ~
Third-For or against so much OF the
seventh article as provides for townships
and additional county officers and for
township officers. 2.
Should the greatest number OF votes
be in the affirmative upon either OF the
roriions so separately submitted, it shall
| he part of the constitution, but, If IN the
negative, it shall not be part thereof.
Providing for the election of members OF
the House Of Representatives for the
election Of members Of the General
Assembly, and for the election of
State officers, viz: Governor, Leus
tenant Governor and Attorney Gen
eral. The distinction made by the
present, as we'll as by the proposed,
constitution between the State and
county OF city officers is kept in view.
In the act of Congress and in the fore
going provision is made for an election OF
State officers only. The constitution to
be voted upon provides for the election
of State officers in November. BY act
Of Congress it is ordered that complete
registration shall precede the election
and Gen. Candy has nearly perfected
the plan for securing a thorough registra,
tion throughout the State, and the order
will undoubtedly be issued this week
He has expressed the desire that every
citizen of the State shall register.

A Lively RuUnpHs Among the AdVO-
Gates Of Equal Rights.

Gates of Equal Rights.
New YORK, May 12.-At the ami
versary of Equal Rights Association, held
to-day, Rev. &. Foster made a rambling
speech, durIpg which he was several times
called 10 order. lie continued, however,
aud made a sharp attack upon Miss An
thony in regard 10 the manner in which
she had kept accounts Of the society.
Miss Anthony proclaimed the statement
respecting her a falsehood.
Mrs Stanton also took decided excep-
ton TO the aspersions cast upon her official
conduct.
The charm decided tat Mr.. Foster
was out of order, which WAS loudly aP-
pIauded by the spectators.
Foster resumed his remarks, but was
loudly Kissed, when Fred Douglass at
tempted to stop the quarrel, but with little
effect, a. the audience evidently listened
10 the speaker under protest.
Foster claimed that he had the floor by
right, and he did not propose TO yield at
this time. The ladies on the platform be-
came much excited, and threats of eiecting
the speaker by the aid of the police, were
freely made.
It was difficult in the excitement TO hear
the speaker out, but it was unnecessary he
claimed that the association preached one
doctrine and practiced another. lie said
he had been declared out of order be-
cause he contradicted the assertion Of a
woman; from which he supposed he could
contradict a man on that platform, but not
woman. This is woman's right with a
vengeance.
