Emancipation jubilee.

=

seventh anniversary Of their eman-

some four hours, during which
time much fustian was INDUCED,
and many very unnecessary speech.
es made. We clip the following
from the resolutions adopted by
them: sac
ReSolced, That under the party
Frule of the rebel party now in
power and having control of the
State of Tennessee, our treatment
at their hands is unchristian, in
human, and beyond federation.
That our people as a class, have
no protection under the laws of the
State, as the laws are now admin.
istered--that many are either
murdered or driven from their
homes and families, without the
least cause or provocation by men
in disguise, and are forced to, find
security for their lives where best
they can.
Resolred, That our people are,
and desire to remain peaceable and
law-abiding citizens, "having NAL
ice towards none, but charity to
all" and desiring to see peace and
good will prevail towards all men
throughout the State, we have
done all in our power to secure
the end. But our overtures for
peace and friendship have been
spurned ; and in return our people
are abused and maltreated some
have been even killed, and others
driven from their homes at the
dark hour of midnight by assassins
and disguised outlaws.
ReSoloed, That in view of the
above facts, and the wiltul negli-
gence of the party now in control
Iof the State to protect us in our
lives and the enjoyment of our
homes and property, we most
heartily indorse the resolution of
the Hon. Mr.. Kelly, of Pennsyl-
vania, Of the Congress of the u
nited States, looking to the recon-
struction of the State of Tennes-
see, by placing the same again
under military rule, to the end,
that all The people of the State may
alike be protected in the enjoy
ment of all their rights as citizens,
regardless of race, or color or party
affiliations. And we hereby hum
bly, beg leave to request our SEN
ators and Representatives in Con-
gress to use all honorable means
in their power to secure the final
and speedy passage of said resolu-
ton, as aforesaid.

Congressional Tyranny.

The tyranny of Congress has
already alarmed some of the Rad
zeal leaders. 1t has been exem-
plified in the rejection by the SEN
ate of Attorney General Hoar for
the Supreme Bench. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Hart.
ford Times has the following:
The true reason Of his rejection
will not be sent over the country
by Geographic dispatches. 1t will
be claimed that he was rejected for
the reason that he belonged at
the North and in Massachusetts,.
But that State has no Justice up.
on the bench, and the Senate
cares nothing for this reason.
With the South full of Northern
men in every executive Office, and
sustained there by the Senate,
very few people can be made to
believe that Hoar was rejected on
account Of his locality. The true
reason is this: He has expressed
opinions of the unconstitutional
ty of some Of the acts Of Congress,
and he does not like the Radical
plan of subjugating the Judiciary.
This killed him off. The govern
ment is to a considerable extent
already revolutionized. The
States and the people have little
power, and Capitalization will be
supreme. Already you will no.
tice that Farnsworth, Dawes and
Bingham are alarmed, and have
entered protests as boldly as they
dare. But they dare not say
much, for tyranny $50 great here
that Republicans who are really
alarmed dare not speak boldly and
freely. But good many of them
are shaking with fear. There has
not been good feeling between
the President and Congress for
some time, and Grant is now very
much incensed.

Deaths from Frichin@.

A terrible sensation comes to US
from Hampshire, Kane county, H.
linois. Nine persons, all Germans,
have died thus Ear of trichin@, and
ouother is past recovery. The
disease is traced directly to the
eating Of Bologna sausage made OF
hog meat, and used scittout cook
in9.
The patients suffer exquisite az
ony. They have their senses, and
describe the sensations they ex-
perience to be like the acutest rheu-
matte pains. When moved in the
slightest manner their suferings are
intense. Their eyes are CLASSY
and protruding and mouths parched.
The trichine are taken into the
stomach with the food in a dormant
condition. IL about three days
thereafter, being vitalized, they are
found to have made their way into
the muscles Of the patients body.
There they commence the work of
destruction, and continue it until
the muscles are consumed. They
breed and die every three days, and
multiply by the thousands. The
only time when the patient is free
from pain is during the hours when
this change is taking place. The
duration of the sufferers life is to
be measured only by his capacity
for endurance, being usually from
three days TO week.
The Hampshire victims, being
Germans, have the national peculiar
ity Of eating pork largely in a raw
state. When thoroughly cooked at
a great heat, no danger need be sP-
pretended, though the meat heated
be affected by the trichiEe.

Tennessee and Congress.

As our people are naturally de-
sirous OF reading everything from
well informed and reliable sources,
regarding the threat Of Che Radi-
cal Congressman from Tennessee,
to place this State under military
rule, we have from time to time
published extracts from other
journals referring to the proposed
interference of Congress.
The Baltimore Gdzette's Wash
ington correspondence believes
that Congress will, certainly, take
hold Of Tennessee and compel
her citizens to retrace their steps
in the paths of loyalty. The
Worlds Washington correspon-
dent, writing on the same day,
!
bears the same testimony. He
says: $500
There is good deal of talk in
political circles in Washington
concerning the course of Congress
when it reassembles, in reference
to Virginia and Tennessee. There
is no doubt that the temper Of.
Congress has greatly changed
since it first met, and that the ul-
ira element, which was then ST.
lent, is now becoming every day
more rampant and aggressive.
Measures which would then have
been dismissed as impossible or
absurd are now spoken of as every
way probable. This is especial
ly the case in respect to Tennessee.
Leading Democrats express the
opinion that the action taken In
the Georgia case was designed as
a precedent TO show the power
and readiness of Congress to in
terfere, whenever it may be nee
essary to ensure a Radical ascen-
dency in each State, and to employ
whatever means are essential to
this end. 1t is known that there
has been a great deal ofstudy and
consultation among the Republi-
cans in Congress touching the case
of Tennessee, and that the leaders
are maturing a plan for a fresh
subjugation of that State. The
mode of doing this is not yet
known, or even agreed upon, but
that they will find a way, if they
decide upon finding one, is not
doubtful. The pretexts assigned
for this are that the last election
was fraudulent that the registra-
ton under Governor Senter admit
ted many whites to vote who were
disfranchised by the laws of tie
State for participation in the re-
bellion, and, lastly, that the State
does not have a Republican form
of government. Leading Repub-
licans in both branches are strong
ly opposed to this policy, but it
is not known whether enough of
them will stand out to defeat these
measures.

B@ "Avery," the East Ten
nessee correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, (RadicaD re-
ferring to the resolution tosell Gen.
Thomas portrait, says:
Congressman Num- takes it
upon himself to write Gen. Thorn
as a letter upon this subject, in
which he deals altogether in vitu-
peration and billingsgate. Allow
ing that the resolution to sell the
portrait of Brownlow and Thomas
was foolish and uncalIed for, yet
there is no ground whatever for
such a letter as Num- writes to
the General. The starving and
numbering of $4,000 Union pris-
oners alluded to by the eloquent
Congressman, has nothing what
ever to do with the case. The
people of Tennessee are not re-
sponsible for all the crimes COM
mitted during the war, yet it would
seem so from what Num- has to
say in his letter about the portrait.
He brings in the whole rebellion,
and accuses the Legislature of be-
ing malignant Rebels, etc, for
proposing to sell the portraits.
When we reflect that the PROPOSE
ton only received eight votes, and
that the man who introduced the
measure was a soldier under Gen
Thomas, it is difficult to'see the
symptoms of rebellion that are SO
plain to the lynx,eyed Num-, if
we are to believe his letter."

A queer suit is pending in Mis-
souri, coprts. Some little time
since an old bachelor, Of wealth,
made a will leaving all bis proper.
ty away from his only needy rel
atives. When he was on bis
death bed, party of three roiterine
friends, on a spree, concluded tt
endeavor to induce him to change
his will in favor of the poor rela.
tives. He consented aud one OF
the three sat down by his bedside
TO drawup the document. Before
conclusion and signing of the will
the man died; one of the party re
marked to the scribe that it was
"useless to go on, as the man was
dead az hi" However, after
Its conclusion, the dead man wa;
lifted up in sitting posture and
held, the pen was placed between
his fingers and made to trace bis
name, after which the question
was asked, "Do you acknowledge
this to be your signature and last
will?" etc. The dead man by the
aid of those that held him up,
nodded assent. The corpse was
then quietly laid down, and the
individuals signed their respective
names as witnesses to the instru-
men.. The only seeming trouble
now is the proper construction Of
the will, which under the circum-
stances and under the influence
of an intoxicated brain, the scribe
somewhat blended his meaning.
