OUR SENATOR.

The Senator from East Tennessee seems
to be in rather bad odor with some of the
most loyal of his OWE household. A letter
from Washington to the Cincinnati
Chronicle says:
Parson Brownlow is at it again. l he
gin to think that he can't live without he
is in a muss with somebody. After doing
his best by supporting Senter, and helping
to elect him Governor and throw the State
of Tennessee back into Rebel hands, he
is now suddenly siezed with terrible
mania for upsetting the government he
helped to cajole the people into organ
izing, and having Congress put
Tennessee under military rule. He
says 1t ought to be done, and says he
believes Congress will do it. If he really
does believe this, all have to say about
him is, that he is as easily deluded as any
man | ever saw. 1t is about time that
the Republican party had cut itself loose
from such charlatanic ideas of admins
tration, and let Brownlow and his associ-
ates learn that as they make their bed, so
they must lie in it. In the days of old,
in the State of Tennessee, there was a
rumor to the effect that his Satanic Ma
jesty had caused an edict to be issued that
of two politicians of that State, only one
should be admitted TO a residence in his
domains. The reason assigned was that
if both should get there together, there
would soon be such a quarrel between
them that his Majesty's kingdom would
be disruptured. Brownlow was one OF
the two.

THE LADIES ADDRESSED

The following are the remarks made by
Judge Howe in impanelling and charg-
ing the female Grand Jury recently
selected at Laramie city, Wyoming Terri
tory:
'Ladies and gentlemen of the Grand
Jury 1t is novelty to see, as we do to-
day, ladies summoned to serve as jurors.
The extension of political rights and
franchise to woman is a subject that is
agitating the whole country. Ihsvenever
taken an active part in discussions, but
have long seen that woman was victim
to the vices, crimes, and immortality of
man, with no power to protect and defend
herself from these evils. l have long
felt that such powers of protection should
be conferred upon woman, and it has
fallen to our lot here to act as the pioneer
in this movement, and to test the ques-
ton. The eyes of the world are to-day
fixed upon this jury of Albany county.
There is not the slightest improperly in
any lady occupying the position, and l
wish to assure you that the fullest protec-
ton of the court shall be accorded to you.
1t would be a most shameful scandal upon
our temple of justice and courts of law if
anything should be permitted which the
most sensitive lady might not hear with
propriety and witness; and here, let me
add, it viii be a sorry day for any man
who shall so far forget the courtesies due
and paid by every American gentleman to
every American lady as 10 even by a word
OF act endeavor to deter you from the eX-
ercise of those rights with which the laws
have invested you.
al will conclude with the remark,
This is question for you to decide for
yourself; no man has any right to inter
fere. 1t seems to be proper for women
to sit upon grand juries, which will give
them the best possible opportunity 10 aid
in suppressing dens of infamy which
curse the country. l shall be glad of
your assistance in the accomplishment of
this object l do not make these remarks
from any distrust of gentlemen; on the
contrary, 1 am exceedingly pleased and
gratified with the indications of intelli-
gence, love of law, and good order, and
gentlemanly department which see mani
Tested. l will now listen to any reason
which any jurors make for being ex-
cused."
Not one asked to be excused.

who shall presume by violence OF intimi :
daiion to deprive the hunblest negro of
his rights, civil or political, as a citizen.
This IS the new lesson, TO be more fully
learned-a new reading of the Constitu-
ton. 1t is lesson of the war.
1t will require but few more steps to
make Capitalization a complete and fixed
fact. The conservative people of the
North must see and appreciate the danger
that menaces their liberties, for when the
South has been completely subjugated;
when Congress has but to order and the
Legislatures of the Southern States hasten
to obey, as they have already done in four
States, then will these "architects of ruin"
turn upon and destroy the State organiza-
tions of the Northern States. The South
ern States are now powerless to save them
selves, and if the liberties of the Northtrn
people are worth preserving, it is time
they were awaking to the danger of the
position, and forgetting all minor consid-
erations, resolve to make struggle for
the government their fathers bequeathed
against Radical Capitalization.

AHIY AT MORTON.

The Chicago Tribune, (Radical, } rap'
Senator Morton over the knuckles, be
cause of his views on the tariff, in the
following manner:
SIT is to be regretted, on his own ac-
count, that Senator Morton should have
made speech at the indianapolis Conven-
ton antagonistic to the platform adopted
by the Republicans of Indiana. The plat
form declared for revenue tariff the
Senator for protective tariff. We pre-
sumo, however, that this antagonism will
not be Of long duration. We call to mind
the fact that Senator Morton was very
slow in discovering the political beresies
of Andrew johnson and, the financial
hcresies of George II. Pendleton, but,
nevertheless, came out night in the end.
We doubt not he will get into harmony
with his friends in his own State in due
time. Perhaps, if the platform had been
adopted before the speech was made, he
would have done so then and there. Re
garded as an argument ID favor OF pro
lection, the Senator's effort is one of the
weakest we have ever seen. Regarded
as an attempt to demolish one of the
planlSs in the Democratic State platform,
it has more of the elements of valor than
of discretion.

YHE CUBAN nEvoIUTtos,

There are rumors that the Cuban
revolt is about to collapse. Following
hard on the heels of the flight of Gen.
Queseda, who was for some time com
mander-in-cliief OF the Cuban Rebels,
comes the news that Gen. Jordan, who is,
we believe, Queseda's successor, has re-
signed the chief command. A Havana
letter of the 10Th ult.; received in Wash
ington on the 9TH inst, says Che resigna-
ton of Gen. Jordan is credited by the
friends of the insurgents in that city, and
his escape to the United States was ex-
pected. 1t adds that the leading insur-
gents have been holding cut from assur-
ances received by members Of the Jqnta
In Washington, that the Congress differ
ing with the Administration on the ques-
ton, would certainly take steps
to recognize the Cubans as entitled
to belligerent rights but three months
having elapsed nearly since it assembled,
they have well nigh abandoned all
expectation, and have become democrat
lied over the fact that no important pre-
liminary action even has been taken that
would indicate the promise of relief in the
future. We have been anticipating some
such turn in affairs as this, for some time
past. Under the circumstances, it seems
to US, Gen. Jordan would have been
great fool to remain any longer with the
'forlorn hope seeing that the Cubans
themselves were, one by one, leaving him
as it were to fight it out alone. With the
resignation of Gen. Jordan, we suspect,
we may now look for the withdrawal of
the American (''flibuster') element
from the Rebellion, and when that goes,
what will there be of the real, live fight
ing elements left2 The New York Er-
press remarks very pointedly:
eve have often said before, and we re-
peat it now, that if the many able-bodied
Cubans who are hanging about the hotels
in this city, running F'God and Liberty
on the safety-valve, out-of-danger princi-
pie, had enrolled themselves in a regiment
of sharpshooters, and placed themselves at
Jordan's command, with some assurance
that they were willing to die as well as to
make speeches for their country, they
would have earned claim upon Ameri-
can sympathy and American respect,
which we do not very well see how they
can set up now. Moreover, if they had
done that, we do not believe Gen. Jordan
would have thrown up his command as if
in disgust. Doubtless he reasoned if such
men as Queseda are running away, why
should we Americans any longer stay
here to do their f1ghting9"

The question of issuing proclamation
announcing the ratification of the if-
teenth amendment was discussed at the
Cabinet meeting Friday, according to re-
ports of the Washington correspondents,
and the course to be pursued decided up
on. Secretary Fish stated that twenty
seven States had officially certified as hav-
ing adopted the amendment, notincluding
New York and Indiana. lie then agreed
that Texas and Georgia could not be
counted until Congress approved their
constitutions and admitted them as States,
under the ruling of the seventh section of
the reconstruction act passed April 10,
1867, which is as follows: "That the pro-
ceedings in any of said States shall not
be deemed final or operative as complete
restoration thereof, until their actions re-
spectively shall be approved by Con-
gress.n The President then announced
that he would not issue the proclamation
until Texas or Georgia were admitted, SC
that the twenty eight States could be
named without counting New York or In

STATE DEBT AND RADICALESH


'cNo provision has been made by the
Tennessee Legislature to pay the State
debt or interest,"" says the Cincinnati
Chronicle. That is true, and it may be
added that no expenditure of SIS, 000,
900 has been authorized; no School Fund
has been stolen. At the conclusion of the
war, Radicalism seized the reins of gov
eminent; none but the ''truly loyal" were
allowed to vote or hold any Office of hon
or or profit The Governor revoked reg
istrations al his viii and gave certificates
of election to those whose election he
preferred. The consequence was the loss
of the School Fund, and the squandering,
to use the mildest term, of over Sl3, OO0,-
900 in bonds of the State.
There is not a man in Tennessee that
does not know that a large quantity of
those bonds were procured to be issued
by corruption, and that after their issuance
arge amounts were misappropriated, were
never applied TO the uses for which they
were intended, and have never benefited
the State or the people one dollar.
All these matters the joint select
committee, soon to assemble in this city,
will investigate, and we are advised that
witnesses win be brought, by a requisi-
ton from the Governor if necessary, from
distant parts of the United States to
establish the charges which are boldly
made as to the issuance and disposal of
this $l3, 900, 600 Of bonds.
The ''Sacred School Fund, - to use the
poetic figure of that prince of gold
gamblers, J. Fisk, jr., has ''gone where
the woodbine twineth."
Although these are the fruits of Radio
alism: an empty treasury, an overwhelm-
ing debt and over taxed people, we are
twitted with having failed to pay our
debt and interest, and blamed for having
abolished the enormously expensive
School System, which Radicalism had
established for the benefit of the Superin-
tendents-not the children. Now we are
threatened with being turned over again
bound hand and foot to the same order of
lawmakers "The power of Congress
may do this, and then may follow the
issuance of another $l3, GOO, O0Oof bonds,
but there will be very little payment of
State debt or interest.

FAKNswoRTH AND BUTLER.


The debate in the House, at Washing
ton, on Saturday, on the bill to admit
Georgia, was of unusual interest, not be-
cause of anything new in the discussion,
but because of the wide difference in
opinions expressed by leading Republi-
can members with regard TO the character
Of the bill.
1t declares the State government of
Georgia to be provisional, and provides
for the continuance in office, for two
years, of the present Legislature and State
officers, notwithstanding the State Consti-
tuition provides for an earlier election.
These provisions of the bill, as also the
one looking to the re-admission of the
State after Congress has once declared
that she was admitted, because of her full
compliance with the terms of the military
bills, Gen. Farnsworth declared to be
monstrous, and in this declaration he will
be supported by such of the conservative
Republicans as followed Mr.. Bing-
ham when the bill was before the House
which remanded Georgia to serfdom.
With regard to the continuance of the
present State officers and legislature in
Office for two years, Mr. Farnsworth de-
clared that Congress might as well enact
that their tenure of Office should be for
life.
He furthermore said that ''the only ex-
cuse for the bill was that, if it were not
passed, the Republican party would lose
the next election in the State" In other
words, it proposed to usurp power and
enact crime to gain partisan triumph.
This, says the Chicago Times, is the
plain way of stating the matter; and,
therefore, Mr. Farnsworth was fully JUS
tilted in characterizing the bill as ''mon-
strous and internal

THE CINCINNATI AND CEsATTA-
NOOGA RAILROAD.

The following is the dispatch sent to
the Kentucky Legislature by members of
our Legislature relative to the Cincinnati
and Chattanooga Railroad:
NASHVILLE, March 4, 187O.-To the
members of the House of Representa-
tives, Kentucky Legislature: Gentlemen
We are sorry to see tlat the Kentucky
Senate has defeated the Southern Rail-
road bill. Tennessee appropriated $780,
900 TO the Henderson and Nashville Rail
road, to be expended in the State of
Kentucky alone, besides the amount Gp-
propriated to be expended on said road
within our own State. The State of
Tennessee has aided every railroad that
runs from Kentucky South, and her peo-
pie are now paying, and have been pay
ing, taxes to beused in paying the interest
on the bonds issued TO said roads. The
people in our State who are to be special
" benefited by the Cincinnati Southern
line of road have paid their proportions
bic share of said taxes for years, and have
received no railroad benefits yet.
eve have aided all Kentucky railroad
enterprises running South, both by
money and legislation, and we hope Ken
lucky will not refuse to aid the line of
road that viii benefit our State so much,
and especially that portion of our State
which is entirely without railroad facili
ties. The increasing commerce of the
country demands the road, as has clearly
been demonstrated by the blockade of
freight South this winter. The whole
central South ask this road, and will not
forget their friends.
