CONGRESSIONAL STRATEGY.

We have been furnished with the sub
joined printed Congressional Circular,
which is being circulated by the Radical
members from Tennessee:
DEAR SIR: The question of the pecu
Lar status of Tennessee is engaging the
close attention and scrutiny of the leading
Republican members of Congress; and,
at the suggestion and earnest request of
the most influential and informed Repub-
icans of the State, take the liberty, in
this method, to communicate to you the
fact that it is desirable and necessary to
our success in bringing the late Guberna-
torial election in Tennessee before Con
gress at its coming session, that a specific
but brief statement should be sent from
every county, clearly setting forth the ex-
tent and character of the frauds and ether
illegalities perpetrated during the August
canvass and in addition thereto, a re-
spectful prayer that Congress take appro-
pirate and immediate action, to the ut
most limit of its power to rescue the loyal
people of Tennessee from the calamities
that have befallen them.
The conduct of Registrars, and those
who acted in concert with them to sub
vert the franchise law, should be concise
ly and pointedly set forth. A large num-
Der of signers to the petition would not be
Objectionable and, in fact, it is my
opinion, would facilitate Congressional ac-
ton. Yet, large number of leading men
in each county viii be sufficient.
All such papers, if not taken by some
trusty person, should be sent by the 1st
of December, or early in the month, to
Washington, to the address of a Republi-
can Congressman.
Let there be no delay. The loyal peo-
pie throughout the country expect every
genuine Republican in Tennessee to do his
duty in this dire emergency. Let us not
disappOint them, and thus save ourselves
from impending disaster.
Your obedicnt servant,
Just below the above was the following
in the handwriting Of the Hon. Mr.. Smith,
a member of Congress, so-caIled, from
the Memphis district:
sect up the illegal vote of your county. |
Also petition to Congress, signed by the |
loyal people of your county, and send to |
one of our Republican Congressman with
out delay. Act at once"
TING friend who sends us the foregoing
says: documents such as the foregoing
are still in circulation through Tennessee.
All sorts of tricks are resorted to to get
names to these circulars. The names of
large numbers of the colored population
are signed to it without any authority
Many of them are induced to have their
names put to it under the belief
hat they are pctitioning Congress

TIE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati gazette writes, Jan. u, as
follows:
''Gcn. Terry, commanding in Georgia,
has tclegraphcd here this morning. saying
that several members of the Legislature
had taken the test oath, and he had reason
10 believe they committed perjury in 50
doing. He wants to know what he shall
do in the premises. Gen. Sherman after
consultation with the President and the
Secretary of War, answered that fragrant
cases where there was no doubt persons
had aided the rebellion, he should deal
with them vigorously in his own discre-
ton. Gen. Terry is not man of half
way measures, and in his discretionary
order he will be apt TO show some of the
cX-Rcbcls of his State that they cannot
safely violate the letter and spirit of the
reconstruction laws.
The law demanding Georgia to pro
yisional government prescribes what shall
be done in the cases suggested by Gen.
Terry, and if Gen. Sherman has given the
license TO the petty tyrant who rules in
Georgia which the Gazettc'S correspon-
dent reports, he means TO treat the law Of
Congress as a nullity, and that too with
the advice of the President. We may
look for cruel, if not bloody work in Geor-
g:a, if the military are to have unbridled
rule there. What a mockery of republic
can government and respect for law is
being enacted in Georgia

MINNESOTA on PUBLIC CREDIT.

Gov. Marshall, of Minnesota, delivered
his retiring message on the 9TH. From it
we make the following extract:
eve have the example of the State of
Michigan, in which a suspended debt
twice greater than ours and of the same
character was equitably adjusted We
have the example Of Illinois, which in the
attempt to construct railroads and canals
by the use of her credit disastrously failed
and not a mile of road cOmpleted-with
a debt Of $lj, 600, 900, six times greater
than the debt of Minnesota. In her pOv-
Crty and humiliation, Illinois was unable
to pay the interest on her debt for many
years. Yet, when prosperity returned,
she prOmptlymet the holders of her bonds,
aid made satisfactory adjustment of the
last dollar of her obligations. 50 that it
was the boast OF oncof her officials, that
to the honor of Illinois be it said, not
Withsianding the magnitude of the debt,
and the manner in which il was contract
ed, the masses of the people rose up and
said the debt shall be paid and the honor
of the State maintained That action
challenged the respect of the world, and
from that period the State entered upon a
career Of prosperity without a parallel in
history.

TIE Chattanooga Times calls Brown
lows appendix to the memorial of May
nard and other Radical Congressman, the
most "cheeky" thing out, and adds:
eve happen to know that this ind
vidual was particular in his inquiries to
several persons in East Tennessee concern
ing the character of the Commissioners of
Registration in several counties, and
limited that if they would not register all
who voted for Senter, they should be re-
placed by Others, which was done. For
him now to go back on his own work,
strikes us as the hight of impudence.N

The constitution of the United States
provides that "the United States shall
guarantee to every State in this Union a
republican form of government" Here
we have in a sister State petty Military
Satrap doing what the Queen of England
would not dare TO do. This is the sort of
republican form of government which
is guaranteed to Georgia. The nights of
citizens are trampled upon by Bullock
and this Military Satrap with impunity,
and they are poWerless to redress these
wrongs. 1t is this sort of despotism which
Mr.. Horace Maynard and his co-memo-
riaLsts are seeking to fasten upon Ten

The Washington correspondent of the

lively stated tonight in well-infomed
circles that the President will make the
nomination of Attorney General Hoar to
the Supreme Bench an administration
measure. Senators are given to under
stand that it is his nomination, and that if
they reject Judge HOar on account of 10
cality, the influence of Southern Senators
with the Executive will be TO a certain eX-

SENATE RESOLUTIONS.

Our attention was not called to these
resolutions until after their publication
yesterday morning. AS they have passed
the House, it is perhaps idle to say any
thing of them now. We cannot, how
ever, refrain from intimating that they
have been pushed through the two
Houses with degree of haste which
some of the supporters of themmay here
after think was unwarTanted by the sur
rounding circumstances.

Hurley's Popular Worm Candy.

As this is really specific for Worms, and the
best and most paatable form to give to children it
is not surprising that it is fast taking the place of
all other preparations for worms-h being per
fectly tasteless, and any child will take it.
Messrs. James Ruddle & Co: Gentlemen-It
give me great pleasure to say, after using all the
other worm remedies known to me, with but par
tial relief to my children, advised to try DR..
A. T. Hurley1s, and since using it, my children
have become quite well and healthy; the children
would eat it all the time, it is so pleasant if we
would let them belieTe it is one of the best and
safest remedies known, and as such, recommend it
to one and all. JAMES w, TRAVIS,

DEATH OF COL. TKIOS. MARTIN.
The announcement of the death of tbis

The announcement of the death of this
well known citizen of Giles, will be a
source of regret to the large number of
acquaintance he leaves behind him.
For many years Col. Martin has
been one of the most prominent
citizens of Middle Tennessee. He
did not seek public appointment, and yet
his strong business capacity, his great
energy, his ready comprehension of public
subjects, his large but unpretentious
wealth made him leading public man.
He has gone to his grave with the love of
many and the respect of all.

Here is high-handed usurpation in earn
est. A Military Satrap orders that the
eligibility of legislators shall be determin-
ed by a drumhead court-martial The
law of Congress provides that those claim
ing to be members of the Senate or House
of Representatives shall take an oath pre-
scribed in the act and file the same with
the Secretary of State of Georgia, and
having done this, he is entitled to take his
seat, but if he swears falsely che shall be
deemed guilty of perjury, and shall suffer
the pains and penalties thereof, and may
betried, convicted and punished therefor,
by the Circuit Court of the United States
for the district of Georgia NoprovIsion
is made for such interference as Satrap
Terry has been guiltyof. He is undoubt-
edly willing tool in the hands of those
who have no regard for law, and his usur-
patton will be sustained by the revOlu-
tionary juuta at Washington calling it
self the Congress of the United States.
But Satrap Terry does not stop with this
usurpatiOn. He promulgated a general
order on the 18th inst. establishing mill
tary rule in six counties, and directing
the officer placed in command of this sub
district in his kingdom, to promptly
arrest all persons who may commit or
have committed acts of violence or law
lessness, or in any manner disturbed the
public peace, holding them subject to in-
structions from these headquarters. " He
