whether persons disqualified by the four
teenth amendment are eligible to The
LegislAture They argue thus: Penal
laws are always construed strictly-that
is, made TO imply nothing, but taken to
mean just as much and no more than
they say. The language of the four
sieenlh amendment recognizes difference
between officers Of State and. members
of State Legislature. The disqualified
ton of il is as follows:
ssNo person shall be Senator or Repre-
sentative in Congress, or elector oil
President or Vice President, or hold any
office, civil or military, under the United
States or any State, who, having previ
ously taken an oath as q member of Con
gress, or as an officer of the United States
or as member of any State Legislature
or as an executive or judicial officer Of
any State, F" etc.
Here, it will be seen a member of Con
gress is not recognized or spoken of as al
officer of the United States, nor a mem
Der of State Legislature as an officer 0
the State. On the contrary, clear dis
tinction is drawn between officers ant
legislators, whether Federal or State. Thi
amendment says, in effect, that membe
of State Legislature is not an officer o
the State at all. Plainly, then, disqual
flied person is eligible TO the Legislature
for all of the positions which the disquali
| fed are forbidden TO fill are named.

Gov. SENTER 10 REsECiy.

The Knoxville Press and Herald Of
April 80 has the following paragraph:
'sWe learn that Gov. Senter is dis
tressed beyond measure, that his fealty 70
the best interests of the people of Ten
nessee should be so widely questioned by
the press and the people of the State. For
some time past the Governor has been in
clined TO resign, and we are reliably in
formed that he has, within the past few
days expressed bis intention 10 send in
his Resignation in the Legislature, early in
May. His many warm, personal and pO-
litical friends in the immediate vicinity Of
his home, to whom he has cOnfded his
decision, have strenuously endeavored to
dissuade him from the step, on the ground
that in the present condition of affairs in
the State, his duty is to remain at his
post and SO guard the liberties and pro
mote the prosperity of the citizens. "

GRANT AND THE DEAD RAwLINs

AttenUOn was Called IN Lle House OF
Representatives a few days ago TO the
disgraceful neglect Of the remains of the
late Secretary of War Rqwlins. A citi-
zen of Washington (Mr. Blagden), at the
conclusion of the gorgeous ceremonies of
the funeral, generously offered his private
vault as a temporary depository (for, it
seems, no arrangements to this purpose
had been provided by the pretended
friends of the deceased.) The subse-
quent death of this gentleman necessita-
ted the removal Of Rawlins' body to the
common raul, where probably it would
ha ye remained TO doom's day for aught

ANOTHER of Secretary Fletcher's ku-
Klux outrages has been dissipated. Mr..
F. A. Polk, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Maury county, informed the
editor of the Columbia Herald a few
days ago that Fletcher was mistaken in
his testimony before the Reconstruction
Committee at Washington, in regard to d
colored man named Jerry. Mr.. Polk
says Jerry has been on his farm, is there
now, and is one of the very best colored
men he ever saw, and instead of having
been Ku-Kluxed, lie was anxious TO join
that clan himself. Poor Fletcher was
unfortunate inrepeating before the Recon
struction Committee his thrice-told tales

SCHOOL MONEY,

We are indebted to Comptroller Black
burn for the following statement of the
amount of school money due to each
county in the State. The Comptroller
will furnish County Trustees warrants for
the whole amount due their respective
counties, or he will give them warrants
for the amount due each teacher in their
counties. By sending TO the Comptroller
the several amounts thus due, the Trus-
tees can make speedy settlements with
the teachers, aud the latter viii thus be
enabled to get the amount due them much
sooner than if one warrant should be
drawn for the whole amount due TO each
county:

myself Is the cause Of my Withdrawal
from the paper. Our friendship has ever
been above. suspicion, and viii never be
broken on my part. The partnership
between us originated in the fact that
when | returned to Memphis, after the
surrender, poor and penniless, he
voluntarily offered and gave me all
the means / needed in reviving the
AUalaache. If 1 possess anyone trait
of character above and beyond all others,
it is gralitude-tbat kind of gratitude
which never fOrgets disinterested friend
ship in the sad hour of adversely and de-
SPAR. In conclusion, permit me to say
that, for the friends who have flattered
and sustained me with too partial an APP
probation of labOrs, of which integrityof
purpose was the only merit, and with so
generous a sympathy in trials and diff
culties, which was the consequence, per-
haps, of the impetuous impulses of an
ardent nature, perhaps of an initexibie
fidelity to the interest of friends, party and
the Seuth-for these friends, as well as
for such magnanimous foes as can excuse
my errors aud forget their injuries, offer
parting word of sincere and cordial ben
ediction, an earnest prayer for theirpros-
perity and happiness. To the dear old
AUaEdnche-to the valued friends who
are as dear to me as my soul, and whose
good viii prize more than all the per-
ishable treasures of earth-to each and
all-farewell. NJ g. GALLAwAY.
FROM THE REMAINING EDITOR.
The AVaJGnche will continue TO be the
same Independent Conservative newspa-
per, which it has been for the last year,
but will, with more than its past zeal,
devote its enterprise aud energies to the
agricultural, commercial and material in
terests of Memphis and the great South
west, of which this city will be the me-
tropolis. Whatever of time and space
remain after these labors, the Avalanche
viii appropriate to local politics.
-
We are, in all things, the earnest support
er of Southern policy uniting in COM
mon cause all the States desolased by the
war, adopting the progressive platform of
Virginia as the highway to prosperity and
power. 1t is pardonable delusion in a
purely partisan Democrat to dream that
the South must look alone to the old Dem
ocratic leaders for a restitution of the
power lost to it by the war. Gen. Brax-
ton Bragg, in 1862, in his Kentucky cam
paign to some extent deluded himself
with the hope that the North
western Democracy would respond
in terms of amity to the appeals
made to them, but the answer came in
the form of fifty hostile regiments raised
as if by magic, and which hurled Bragg
and bis army out of Kentucky. 1t is q
strange infatuation which makes man
honestly believe that devotion to the
South is blind allegiance to set of un-
scrupulous and abandoned politicians,
calling themselves Democrats, who did
ali in their power to plunge the South into
war, and who never fired gun in her de-
Tense. Democratic principles are to be
preserved, but save us from the suprem-
acy of the old secession leaders. Radical
leaders we detest. They are plunderers
and oppressOrs of the people.
