In the proposed new Constitution OF
the State of Tennessee we find the fol-
lowing fist.footed and square ont re.
ligious test for office. 1t is as follows
"SEC. 2. No person who denies the
being of God, or a future state OF re-
wards and punishments, shall hold any
Office in tie civil department of this
State"
Not only Atheists are excluded by this
test, but "Universslists" also. They do
not believe in state of future punish
ments. When the Constitution went
this far, why did it not also require
belief in the Trinity or plural Godhead ]
This Constitution, adopted in the year
of our Lord 1870, does not compare very
we'll with that of the United States
Constitution, adopted in 1857. The
latter contains the words, "but no re-
lisious test shall ever be required as
qualification to any Office or public
trust under the United States" The
Tennesseeans have retrograded in this
Constitution several centuries.-EH-

The SEIZURE Of the Telegraph.

One of the most monstrous and auda-
cious schemes which characterize our
rascally and corrupt politics is that
which would have the Federal Govern
ment seize upon the whole lines of tel.
egraph, now managed, and managed
we'll, by private companies, in order to
run them by the Federal Government.
The measure Is founded on corruption.
The amount of stealing the lines would
afford, if the Administration managed
them, would be immense. 1t would, be-
sides, give them an insight into all the
secret business of the country. 1t would
make the transformation easy from a pre-
tended republic into a consolidated and
centralized despotism. Followed lmme-
diately, as it would be, by the occuPa.
tion of the railroads and other lines OF
then what would there
be left to contend against the assaults OF
TIE central tyranny at WashingtoDlf
France OF Russia scarcely have as much
power as would then be vested in its
hands. This outrageous and scandalous
measure is being pressed with rlgor
among the knavish and reckless Con
gressmen, and we should not be in the
least surprised if it should be carried.
Every movement of the party in power
is toward the proclamation of an empire.

The New York Gdulois gives an ac-
count of horrible and mysterious
affair in Spain, which, it says, it would
not believe had not the details been
confirmed by letter from its own cor
respondent. The story is that on Feb
raary 18th a band of people broke into
q house at Alcira village, near Valencia,
ia the morning, by making hole In the
roof. The owner of the house was NJ.
Baluda. He was in bed with his wife.
The invaders pulled them out of bed
and put gags in their mouths. Then
they went to the room where their SIX
children were sleeping, when they
bound them with cords and then IN
sight of their parents tore out their
eyes and tongues. Afterwards they cut
off the feet of NJ. Baluda and his eldest
sou, named Vincent, but purposel y left
the tendon near the heel answered, and
then hung them up head downward.
After this they ransacked the larder'
made good breakfast, jeering at their
victims all the time, and left the house
q. day break. Two of the villains have
been arrested.

Mr.. Brooks method of conducting war
against the excessive duties of the tariff,
present or proposed, would be novel
and effective:
"If nobody else would do it he would
take the tariff, and, mounting on a
peddler's wagon, would ride through
the agricultural districts of the country,
exhibiting hoes, shovsls, axes, bars,
chains, rods, knives, forks, cottons and
woolens, and demonstrate to the eyes
of the people the unjust, the enormous
taxation imposed on them by the exist
ing tariff"
The enormities of this indirect taxa
tion are not fully understood by the
people, or the Ways and Means commit
tee would net have dared to suggest an
sggravation of the evil. In the tariff
controversy facts are more potent than
theories. Let the people thoroughly
understand the extent to which the cost
of articles they require is enhanced by
duties imposed in the interest of few
favored classes, and the agitation for
reform will soon bs irresistible.-N Y.

Reconstruction and il, Beauties.

There seems to be a growing dlVlslon
of opinion in the Republican party as
to the pTopriety Of prolopging the re-
construction process indefinitely. Some
of the leaders think tnat Congress can
not by mere brute force establish per
manelt Radical majorities in the South
Others would reconstruct" whenever
and wherever an actual or threatened
Democratic victory may make recon
Struction necessary. BUTLER, of course,
is the leader of the latter class. The
bill reported and supported by him rela-
tive to the further reconstruction
of Georgia, is interpreted to mean
that some extraordinary legislation is
needed to save Georgia to the Republi-
can party. FARNswORTH, Republican,
of Illinois, declared in the House
on Saturday that if Congress passed
that bill, it could just as well
proclaim BULLOCK Governor OF
Georgia for life. The only excuse
for it was the fear of the Republicans
that they would lose the next State
election in Georgia. He recommended
similar treatment for New York, which
State was also in danger. He advised
the passage of law installing Re-
publican officers there and providing
their tenure shall be for life." He con-
tinued:
There is an easier way of maintain
ing our ascendency in the nation than
by holding elections. That way is by
an act of Congress. That is the way
to do 1T. The gentleman from Massa-
chusetts, Butler, had yesterday raised
the cry of murder in the House. When
ever he wanted To pass one of his re-
construction bills, he got up in the
House and cried murder" murder" )"

The ship Glad Tidings, from Glasgow
for Nsw York, which arrived on Sunday
nigLs, had a hard time of it between
the gales and fields of floating ice. She
was caught Oh the 5th of February in a
terrific south wsst gale and lost her fore
sail, mainsail, foretop, gallant sail,
maintop mast, stay sail, three Gibs and
a cross jack from the yards. On the
18th, in latitude As degrees and III MN
utes, she ran into large fields OF Ice,
with numerous small bergs. The bergs
closed up around her, and the smaller
masses of ice crashed against her hull;
Further progress seemed impossible, and
the ship was headed to the southeast.
After hours of sailing in the direction
she had cleared, the ice continuing on
the same course, she passed through
another field of heavy broken masses,
with bergs in it forty feet high: She
forced her way slowly through the
bergs 80 near her, that her martingale
was carried away once through the
field. She experienced no further
trouble.

Showing clearly that he was atfronted;
And threatened by main force 10 carry her of,

When he meskly approached, and get down at

That she would forgive him, and try to be

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, A practice has heretofore pre-.
vailed of appraising real estate much be.
low its market value and Whereas, such
practice has, in our opinion, led to un-
equal, unjust and oppressive taxation on
some other classes Of property, and has
led unscrupulous persons to all manner Of
evasions of the law in making up their
lists of personal property, and has com
PEELED honest citizens to invest theil
funds out of this State where our tax sys
tenn cannot reach them !; and Whereas, We
believe the system established by law is
the only one under present circumstance
which can lead to anything like an equit
system of taxation !; therefore
Res0Iued That we will, as upon oul
oath we are required to do, in making the
apnraisal of real estate this summer, sci
down all the real estate in our respective
towns. and estimate the value of the same
al such sums as we would appraise it IN
payment OF a just debt, due from sol
vent debtor.
Resozged, that having SO made our ap
praisal, we will, to the best of ability, en-
deayor to secure the same system OF ap
praisal in other parts of the State, exert
ing such influence as we may possess
with our respective representatives In the
legislature to compel all other lists to be
made up or amended SO as to conform te
the requirements of the Statue.
ReS0l0ed, that committee of three bt
appointed by the chair to correspond witt
the listers of such towns of other counties
as they shall deem best, with view te
getting their concurrent action in the ap'
praisal of their real estate.
