THE TENNESSEE FRAUD.

Butler and his squad Of revolu-
tionists do not prosper in their
Tennessee scheme, Before the
House Reconstruction committee
a long line Of witnesses is deploy-
ing, and each has something to
add in the way of exposure Of the
wicked plot against the govern
ment and State-eXistence of Ten
ncsscc. The last witness cXamin-
Ell was Colonel Thurston, an ex-
army officer, who was at one time
on the staff of General George H.
Thomas. He gave amOst empha-
tic denial to the stories Of outrage.
maintained that every little dis.
turbance was greatly magniiled
that the general condition of the
State was as peaceable as that Of
any Northern State; that it was
false as far as he knew that Union
cX.soldiers had been ordered on
of the State, and he believed thai
military reconstruction would in
fict the greatest injury upon Ten
nessee. We do not believe thu
lower House will pass any such bill
as Butler contemplates. ButleI
must go to the Senate. That il
the place for him and his like.

MORAL REFoRMATIoN.-The 9th.
er day when Mr.. Conner, Demo.
cratic member of Congress, from
Texas, was about being sworn in,
b. F. Butler, objected to his being
seated upon the grounds Of his
moral character. He claimed that
Mr.. Common, while an officer in the
Federal army was cruel to his
soldiers, and Mr.. Butler claimed
that the House had the right to
enquire into u members moral
character, and if il was not good
to refuse him a seat, or reject him
after he had been admitted. This
retrospective morality law we i'm
agine would prove a troublesome
one to Butler if it should obtain,
He is not as immaculate as he evi.

We have seen a map of the city,
prepared by the Chief Engineer Of
the Fire Department, showing tho
locations of public c~isterns, &c,
and it is almost suifi cient to stArtle
one to find the limited supply Of
water our Fire Department has to
rely on.
North of lst East street there is
not a single public cistern, leaving
twenty-six entire squares with no
protection except such ponds as
may chance TO have water in them
and private %cisterns, which are in
most cases inaccessible.
On LIST East street there are but
two, and they are five blocks dis
tant from each other. On Main
street there is but. one, on Jackson
street, one, on Grove street, four,
on China street none, Clay street,
one, Crawford street, three, South
street, three, Washington street,
however, has seven, Mulberry
street, -four, Monroe street, two,
and Cherry street, four, and but
three on or at all near the entire
levee, and they useless.
A number of the cisterns emu
merated above are counted twice,
as they are located on the cross
ings. There are but thirty.one in
all, and the Chief Engineer informs
US that six of them are useless. We
believe under the new Fire Ordi.
nance, q Board of Fire Commits
sioners is provided for, whose du-
ty it is to make an estimate of the
amount required for use of Fire
Department, for the fiscal year,
We sincerely hope that they viii
provide for the building Of a great
many more cisterns, and now is the
time to begin, in order to be ready
for next winter.

II the State Of Mississippi has
been rcconstructed, which we are
compelled to some extent to adj
init, inasmuh as two Senators
occupy their seats in Congress
who claim to represent it in every
branch Of its federal relationship,
why is it that the shadow of a
military despotism still hangs
over US in the administration
under which we live? If the
people Of Mississippi are free
once more; if the ban under which
we have labored for four years has
been removed, why is it that we
are still compelled to move along
in obedience to the whims and
caprices of one who although he
wears no epaulets upon his shout
ders, yields n power over us
as absolute as the late Major
General Adeibert Ames ever did
even in the palmiest days Of his
tyranny. Ii reconstruction means
anything that can operate practi-
cally to the interests of the people,
it is the establishment of civil
government, q resurrection Of the
peoples rights to be heard at the
ballOt-bOx in selecting those upon
whom the mantle of official pre-.
Eerment shall fall; in short it must
mean q restoration of every fran
chise necessary to perpetuate and
maintain the constitutional forms
of the government, guaranteed
and secured to every State which
constitutes the Union. But is this
the case? Have we anything
which can superinduce on our part
a hope that the days Of our politi-
cal thraldom are at IN end. For
nearly one month has our Legis-
lature been at work, to do what?
Outside Of electing one who is not
only in strict sympathy with the
party 10 which most of them be.
long, but is an acknowledged
leader, to be printer Of the State,
and regulating the amount per
diem they are to receive in com
pensation for their labors. We
are unable to discover any
thing material TO the interests OF
the people which has been accom-.
plished b. the Legislature, though
ample time has elapsed in which
they could have done a great deal.
Our Judiciary department is a
defunct concern, and to-day the
shrewdest lawyer in the State is
unable to head his bill in n pcti.
ton for writ Of habeas corpus, OF
any other natural and Legitimate
demand to which the Constitution
entities every man as n matter OF
right. Why is it that the Legisla.
ture will persist in reporting bills
for Incorporating different per.
sonal enterprises And why dc
they consume their valuable time
in wrangling over civil rights and
other matters equally immateriaI
when the wants Of the people are SO
portentious and imperative. w
are unable to define, unless there
are private axes in that institu.
ton.

In Europe hard water is consid-
cred more healthtul than soft. The
French saUdas, when inquiring
after water for the supply Of Paris,
found that more conscripts are re-
iectcd in soft water districts, on
account of imperfect development
and stunted growth, than in the
hard and they concluded that
c%aleareous matter in water is es-
sential to the formation of tissues.
Facts having a similar bearing
have been noted in Great Britain.

GenAemeR-We have carefully
examined the files of the Herald
and Times and Republican respect
lively, for the purpose Of inquiring
into the motive and character OF
certain paragraphs which have APP
peared in these papers, and we as
mutual friends of both Of you feel
it our duty to state to you that
those paragraphs are not in confOr-
nifty with the requirements OF
journalistic etiquette, and earnestly
request that Mr.. Jewell do himself
and Capt. Speed the justice, to say,
that the paragraph in the Herald OF
the 3lst ult., referred purely to a
political amalgamation, aud was
not intended to have any personal
application, and that Capt. speed
withdraw the harsh language used
by him in\his issue of the lst inst.
in reply to that paragraph.
Very truly and respectfully yours.

consideration.
am satisfied that with proper
exertions we can pave some of our
thoroughfares with the Nicholson
pavement. Washington and Null
berry streets are the most impOr-
tant, and can be paved during the
present year. The agent or com
pany that was here some twelve
months ago, offered as | was
told to pave Washington street
for $4,000 q square, this would
be a little less than 49,
cents the square foot, and would
cost each owner OF % feet front, to
the middle OF the street, about $500,
and the extra rents would repay, in
one or two gears At most, IL the
whole street was paved from the
bayou 10 the depot, and of course
would not be complained of. But
the City Council would have 10
pave the crossings and hsw can
this be done? Washington and
Mulberry streets are each 90 feet
wide there would be l6 crossings
II of them GO by &C feet, and two
of them 60 by 100 feet. These cross,
ings would contain 67,440 square
feet, which at 1917 (Which Is {
fraction too large) would cost abOui
S2S,S00. To this should be added
the paving Of the square between
Jackson and Grove streets on Null.
berry, as there are no lots on either
side, and the paving of half the
square between Grove and China
streets. as the ground is OF but little
value and in consideration of the
railroad coming down that street

one-third Of the other four squares
this will make altogether abouI
S42 800; to raise this amount lei
the city sell her bonds for thirty,

Don Piatt, the Republican cor
respondent Of the Radical Cincin-
matt Commercial, lets himself
loose upon the situation as fol-
lows:
The Senatorial c~onfnsers Of
woeful knowledge are pounding
away at Georgia. Troops are
needed in North Carolina. Troops
are called for in Tennessee, and
there seems to be no end o. tink-
ering, patching and threatening
on the part Of the majority in
Congress. And WkeR zoe sill it
dOWa TO a real deGnitiOR, recon
'traotiOR means voting the Re.
publican ticket.
We have given to the negro the
ballot. We have expended vast
sums on his education and for his
support, and yet the Legislation in
his behalf has no limit. 1t is the
hopeless legislation Of vengeance.
Some fellow writes Senator Sum
ner q letter full of lamentations
and direful forebodings, and Mas
sachusetts' elongated agony-the
animated personal pronoun "F'-
rises in his place, has the letter
read, and then moves an en-
actment looking to the annihi-
latiOn Of the disloyal element of
the South. Well, gentlemen, it
can't be annihilated in that way.
This disloyal party, as you call 1t,
is the growing element Of the
South, and cannot be suppressed
unless we are willing to give up
our theory Of government and
wipe out the State lines, and sub
stitute military dependencies in
their stead. Let US see where we
are.
After passing the most strin-
gent enactments, after driving the
disloyal element from all political
power, we find that 1t yet exists.
II makes up he majority in mum
Jers, and the vast prepOnderdRce
Of brain. 1t controls the press,
makes public sentiment and holds
the property. 1t is more danger.
GUS to our Government out Of Of.
flee than in. Oppressed, insulted
and abused, it grows in deadly an.
tagonism to our best interest, and
sooner Or later will come up and
take control to our injury.
| know of nothing more child
ish Or puerile than to hear Charles
sumner or Puritan Drake reading
anonymous letters and shaking
their Senatorial fingers at Il power
that has to-day more brain, more
pluck, and far more craftsmanship
than these our impotent law
makers.

Sumner, Drake d Co. are homes
in this. But one in saying so il
forced to compliment their moral.
at the expense Of their intellect
But back ofthese, and urging then
on, are certain other law. makers
not so honest. AS the matter
stands, neither the brain nor the
material interests of the South arr
represented in Congress. New
England and Pennsylvania botl
represent that region. The scala

monkey ona hand.organ, watching
with keenest eyes the whip Of hi
