Dear J0u7naL:-The scheme for recon
structing Tennessee has been looked upon
as virtually dead. but the rumor to-day
that Governor Senter, who has arrived
here to give testimony before the Recon
struction Committee, has gone over TO the
Radicals, has created considerable alarm.
1t is said he will advocate congressional
interference and the establishment Of
provisional government, new registration
and a new election. Senter, in the mean.

The charges mado by Hon. Fernando
Wood in the House the other day against
the pious, roloving General Howard.

the Radicals, who were very INDIGNANT

the State of Maine, and in fact the whole
country very much aggrieved ut this show
ing up Of one of the apostles Of Radicalism
and miscegenation. Butler fairly howIcd
his rage and threatened what he would dc
if the charges were not proven. After
fit Of virtuous Indignation the apologist
and advocate of raScality and yiilainy was
told by Mr. Wood that when this business
was through that he (Butler) should be in
yestigated, whereupon Butler cast his eve
on Wood, paused an instant and iubsided
into his seat to ponder upon the forco
necessary to hurl that last brick which vas
thrown at him.
In connection with General Howard il
was stated a few days ago that on educa-
tional institution on the outskirts of this
tute), in which are negro students of both
sexes. that a number of the female stu
denis are III an interesting situation, and
will soon add maternal to their other cares.
The discovery was made q few days ago
when Doctor was called IN and q four
teen pound infant was the result. In view
of the immediate probability OF several
emergencies the Doctor was engaged
for the season and temporary ly-
ing-in hospital improvised, it is said, for
the other patients. at present L have not
been able to learn whether this is merely
the result of the negroes proverbial disrc-
gard OF virtue or the practical workings of
the theory held by the miscegenationists
who do most abound here in government
positions. A short time will enable us 10
get at tho facts. The theory advocated is
that mixing Of the black and white races
is necessary to develop a people of greater
excellence than has yet existed, in the
face Of the fact, we'll known to them, that
the mulattO is physically degenerated, and
III order to perpetuate themselves they
must marry with the blacks. This. is the
absurd device that it is hoped will enable
these degraded and filthy sensualists to
palliate the wickcdness that their depradcd
and beastly appetites leads them to, and
under such plea meet the negroes Oh
equal terms and not incur the ban of so
ciety and that state of things is creeping
on apace IN this negro paradise.
Honest" John Conode, OF PennsyIya-
MIA, who has twice been elected to Cor
gress by the committee on elections after
he was defeated by the people, appeared
before his old friends, tho committee on
and protested in writing against
paying Henry d. Foster Whom he ousteO
the sum of 81. 600. The following is re-
ported to have been the protest 1t is like
g. Honest" John.
10 he K0nanaitty on tie JuQicheyY Ge,llf-
men:
The sum ov fore thousand dollars is to
much too give Mr.. Henry d. Foster, who
| bette out ov his sete in Congress. L think
too thousand dollars is enuf for his ex-
penses, and if he gifts that much it's more
nor would give him. SO i protest agin
fore thousand.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN CoVoDE
The tariff bill is still under discussion i'll
the House. The Democratic members
have been making some remarkably able
speeches against the monopolies of the
Radical party. Mr.. Cox, of New York
made a most exhaustive speech on that
subject. Dir. Cox demonstrated in the
pla1nest manner how the people were
being robbed by the protected classes of
Lhe Yankee States and Pennsylvania
He tore down the fimsy cause which
was hung up to cover robbery and
fraud and showed them in all their
1eformity. He exposed the faIIacy of
protection, and by figures that cannot
% controverted, proved that tho
people of the country are being robbed to
minister to the ease and luxury OF few
manufacturers. He paid his respects tc
'he salt swindle and exposed the fraudulent
estimate of its defender, Mr.. Mccarthy.
Next VIM. d. Kelley, the chief of the pro
;ectionists, was tumbed off his pig iron
aobby and rolled in the dust of misrepre-
sentation and legalized swindling. Mr..
Cox adduced tables of figures in support
Of his arguments which should be read by
avery thinking man in the land, and it
would dispel the idea of protecting one
section at the expense of all the rest. Mr..
Cox has been long time in public life for
one SO young, and is thoroughly CONVEX
amt with the affairs of the nation having
