THE TENNESSEE Contribution
Al CONVENTION 4 LITTLE 700
FAST,

The Convention now in session at Nash
vile on the business of remodelling the
State Constitution, is a conservative body
evidently bent on clearing out if possible
every vestige of Radicalism from the Con-
stitution as reconstructed under Andy
johnson and Parson Brownlow. Among
other motions in this revising Convention
the other day was a motion to restrict the
suffrage to white men, and a motion TO
provide for the election of United States
Senators by the people Now, it is such
proceedings as these, in this Con-
vention and in the late conser-
vstive Legislature of Tennessee,
that have operated to tighten the reins in
Congress on Georgia and Virginia. With
regard to the election of United States
Senators by the people, we would refer
the mover of this proposition to the Con
stitutiOn of the United States, article |,
third section, which opens in these words:
"The Senate of the United States shall be
composed of two Senators from each
State, chosen by the Legislature thereof
for six years." and to the first paragraph
of section -four, of same article, touching
the power of Congress to regulate these
Senatorial elections. State constitution
makers and members ought to know some
thing of the Constitution of the United
States, and that it is ''the supreme law of
the land. n-NelC York Herald, Jan.
II.
1t is the Herald that is little too fast
A single member may introduce a propO-
sition of any sort, but it takes MAORI
ty of the Convention to adopt Some
such motion or resolution as the Herald
speaks Of, relativeto the election of United |
States Senators, was proposed by a Re
publican member of the Convention, but |
ruled out of order by the chair, |
Col. Baxter, of Knox, being in
the chair. The introducer of the resolu-
ton had a correct idea of what ought to
be the law, that is, that all political Off
GERS ought to be elected by the people. |
1t may be that he did not have a correct
idea of the proper means Of reaching his
conclusion. If the Herald is against the
policy of consolidation, it
should have the justice to, at least, report
US correctly.

CONGRESS AND TENNESSEE.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Stm writes, Jan. Is, as fol-
lows:
GAS soon as the Virginia bill is disposed
of, it is understood that an attempt will be
made to have the Reconstruction Commit
tee take up the question of the proposed
interference by Congress with the State of
Tennessee. In this way the new issue
will be squarely raised whether the Re
publican party in Congress will take an
other step in advance of its present policy,
and attempt to regulate the internal affairs
of State fully represented in both houses
of Congress. Tennesseeans opposed to
such interference say that it meets with
no favor from the President. The vote
on Mr.. brakes amendment in the Senate
to-day, would seem to indicate that at
present that body does not claim the right
to dictate the internal policy of State
when once represented in Congress. "
The amendment of Mr.. Drake, referred
TO by the SUMS correspondent was one he
offered to the Virginia bill, providing
"that should the Legislature of said State
at any time hereafter pass an act purport-
ing to rescind its ratification of the fifteenth
amendment, said State shall be immedi-
ately deprived of its representation in
Congress" The vote on this amendment
was ayes II, noes 40, showing very de-
cided vote against debating what policy
Virginia shall pursue after being admitted
to representation in Congress. 1t would
be bold assumption of power on the
part of Congress to take hold of this State
to reconstruct it after it has been repre-
| scented for four years continuously in that
body. Weknow that urgent appeals are be-
ingmade to Radical Congressman by Radi
Gals in this State who appreciate the fact
that power is fast slipping away from
them, to have this State reconstructed in
their interest and for their benefit, and if
Congress can be begged into perpetrating
so great a wrong it will be done. The
men who are making these appeals to
Congress showed an utter disregard of
law during the four years they. held this
State under their control, and they sup
pose Congress to be as reckless as them
selves. Perhaps they will fail The
Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Net0s writes, Jan. 10, as fol
lows:
''The President has informed Senators,
in conversation, that he is opposed to the
proposed interference in Tennessee"

Hurley's Popular Worm Candy

As this is really specific for Worms and tn,
best and most palstabe form to give to children il
is not surprising that 1t is fast taking the place Of
all other preparations for wOrms-it being per.
fectly tasteless, and any child viii take it.
Messrs. James Ruddle & Co: Gentiemeu-U
give me great pleasure t. say, after using all the
other worm remedies known to me- with but par
tial relief to my children, advised to try Dr.
A. l.. Hurleys, and since using it, my children
have become quite well and healthy; the children
would eat 1t all the time, it is so pleasant, If we
wouldlet them. believe it is one Of the best and
safest remedies known, and as such, recommend it

REFrRRNe to Satrap Terry,s drum

REFERRINe to Satrap TerTy's drum-head
court-martial to determine who shall con
stitute the Legislature of Georgia, the
New York Express says: ''The whole
proceeding is but rc-cnactment Of the
old drama played by Cromwell. Gen.
Terry practically closes the Legislature,
and names a body Of federal army officers
to decide who are eligible and who are
not" The constitution of Georgia vests
in the Legislature the right to determine
the election and qualifications of its mem
bers, but that does not suit Bullock and
the Satrap who is playing the ro2c Of
Cromwell.

There is no alternative but to adopt &
new system of taxing merchants, and in
asmuch as it must be uniform in its OPP
Grafton, all classes are equally interested
in the equity of its provisions. The bill
reported by the House Committee on
Commerce proposes, as we understand it,
to tax the capital of the merchant instead
of his sales, which is the system adopted
in almost every State of the Union, and
seems TO be Just and equitable.

The New York Post Republican, says:
Gin April, 1865, the last insurEent against
the United States laid down his arms; and
in January, 1870, nearly five years later,
the United States House of Representa-
tiyes refused to admit Representatives
from Virgininia on the ground, the sole
ground, that Virginia is a rebel State. -
The Post asks if this is creditable to the
craftsmanship of the Radicals, who have
had every thing their own way in Con
gross. LET US have peace.
