CONGR ESSIONAL INTERFERING
IN TENNESSEE.

The St. Louis Republican says: "The
new bill in Congress to inaugurate Con
gressional interference in the State Of
Tennessee starts from principle diamet-
REALLY opposed 10 the bills Of Nj Drake
and Mr.. TrumbuIl, by which the jurisdic-
ton of the United States courts is to De
curtaiIcd in regard to the question Of the
constitutionality OF Congressional acts.
The House bill submits the acts Of the
various Legislatures to a decision of the
United States Courts in such cases as the
Senate bills attempt TO exclude from judi
cial action. If a State law is passed by
the votes of persons under political disa-
bilities, the United States Courts are TO
be permitted TO declare such law null and
void. whilst a congressional act may be
passed in the most fragrant contradiction
of the Federal constitution, and yet the
Federal courts shall have no right
to pronounce the uuConsJtuti0aalily
of such an act The curtailment
of jurisdiction in one case is as
favorable % Radical legislation as the
extension Of jurisdiction in the other.
This IS the motive of both bills. Both are
introduced for The express purpose Of
preserving partisan legislation from
scrutiny by the Federal courts. The
House bill, however, presents a feature
which isespccially singular. Ilprcsupposcs
the existence of some doubts as to the
validity of the Fourteenth Amendment in
the mind Of the representative who intro
duced it. Surprising he had no such
doubts, the whole bill is unnecessary. An
act passed by any Legislature, in contra
diction TO IFS provisions, is unconstitu-
tional. and it needs no special law by
which the courts may be authorized to
REGARD il as such. If his doubts, ON the
other hand, are well grounded, what does
All the subsequent legislation, based "pon
an invalid amendment, amount TO, if on a
future occasion thcrcmight beamajorijy of
representatives, in whose minds the sam"
doubts exis; as made a Radical member
frame a bill to palliate the original def
cheney Of the amendment In this man
ner Congressional interference in the in
tcrnal affairs Of Tennessee can scarcely he
inauguratcd. They must send an army
into Tennessee. Nothing viii do short OF
that"

THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer states that the Demo
cratic members Of the House of Repre-
sentative met in conference Wednesday
night at the capitol, Representative Ran
dali, of Pennsylvania, presiding, to con-
slider the propriety of having the Demo
cratic members retire from further service
on the Committee on Elections, on the
ground that that committee was so ultra
partisan in its decision of contested cleo
ton cases that no Democratic member
whose seat was contested, or Democrat
who was a contestant for seat, stood the
ghost of a chance. The case Of Judge
Green, Of New York, was cited as the
latest instance wherein the committee had
decided against Democrat who had been
elected by several thousand majority, and
from a district that had, since his election
to the House, repeatedly increased its
Democratic majoritics. No final action,
however, was taken on the object of the
conference.

Hurley's Popular Worm Candy.

As this is really specific for Worms, and the
best and most palstsble form TO give to children it
is not surprising that it is fast taking the place Of
all other preparations for worms-it being per-
fectly tasteless, and any child will take it.
Messrs. James Riddle Co: Gentlemen It
give me great pleasure to say, after using all the
other worm remedies known to me, with but par
tial relief to my children, advised to try Dr..
A 7. Hurleys, and since using 1t, my children

Every department of business has an immediate
interest in the markets of the country, and in its

fails to keep himself properly advised as to the
rise and fall of the markets, as controlled by the
laws of demand and supply, and the relative COD
dition of the currency is exposed to constant loss

gent and enterprising neighbors. In order to
make our paper valuable as well as interesting, we
shall make this SPECIAL FEATURE. Our Dali,

ATTORNEY GENERAL HoAR is reported
to have said Wednesday that if the Sen
ate did not act on his nomination TO be
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, the President would
leave it there and make no other appoint

net. He added that the President and
himself, before his nomination, had
searched the whole South for q suitable
man and could find none who had not
been implicated in some way in the re
bellion. That is not very complimentary
to the Radical party in the South.
