THE debate on the Virginia bill on the
10th inst. took pretty wide range, and
Tennessee came in for a share of abuse
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette says:
Fowler, of Tennessee, took occasion,
while advocating the bill, to confute the
ISLANDERS which have been put forth from
time to time recently, on the Senate floor,
to the prejudice of the loyalty of the
people of Tennessee. He Indignantly de-
MED the charges against his State, and de-
nOunced them unmitigated ISLANDERS. He
asserted that it was susceptible of the
easiest proof that Tennessee, since the
war, has been more orderly, has had less
riOting, outrage and murder in her Dor
ders than at any similar period before the
war, and that in this respect he could
show, by actual figures, that Tennessee
stood in much more favorable aspect
than did the loyal State of Pennsylvania.
He said he was not willing to sit and hear
Senators utter ISLANDERS against the people
of Tennessee that could not be made good
by proof. He informed the Senate that
the Republican party had lost Tennessee
simply and purely because there was not
wisdom and virtue enough in the Repub-
lican ranks in the State to hold the power
there.
''This aat-footed and damaging testi-
mony was a startling revelation, coming
from the source it did, and made some of
the truly loyal look rather blue

THERE was slight passage at arms be
tween Sumner and Stewart, of Nevada, in
the United States Senate on the 11th inst,
during the debate on the admission Of
Virginia. Stewart is as ultra Radical as
Sumner, but he wants Virginiareadmitted
because he is far-seeing enough to per
ceive that the longer Congress delays in
the matter the worse it viii be for the
Radical party in the end. Stewart eX-
pressed wonder at the anxiety for post
ponement expressed by Sumner, in view
of the fact that the latter is deeply inter
ested for the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution, when n
point of fact Sumner did not vote for that
amendment when 1t was enacted. Sumner
denied the charge with some show of
temper, and claimed that he always voted
for it, and would insist upon 1t in all leg
islatiOn looking TO reconstruction in the
South. But Stewart was not satisfied
with this emphatic denial, and went back
to the library, where, upon reference TO
the journal, he found an entry which he
took occasion to announce subsequently,
proving his charge to be correct. Sum-
ner would not be convinced that he had
not voted for that amendment short of
actual observation, and going over to
Stewards seat he caught hold of the book,
and to his dismay read passage from his
own record that raised laugh all over
the Senate at his expense. He said no
thing further against the bill during the
day.

PASSAGE OF THE VIRGINIA BILL.

In the House of Representatives on the
14th inst, after a proracted struggle,
Mr.. Bingham's substitute for the bill re
ported 10y the reconstruction committee,
admitting Virginia Internationally, was
adopted by vote of IS toss, and the
bill was then passed by l+3 to AZ. The
Washington correspondent Of The Cincin-
natl Enquirer says:
"The House. after the most protractCd
struggle of the session, reached a vote to-
day on the Virginia bill, and, by major
ity Of only three votes, succeeded in pass
ING the substitute offered by Bingham, Of
Ohio. admitting the State without impos-
ing any further conditions. The Demo
cratic members turned out in such force
that. on the test vote, only one was alb
sent. and their presence prevented the bill
rcportcd from the Reconstruction Com
mittce from being adopted, as the result
shows. The Republicans who voted for
tie bill were Logan, Ingersoll, Farms
worth, Garfield and Orth, from the West
and Dawes, Brooks of Mass, and the
Maine and Connecticut members, from the
East. Daring the day sixteen speeches
were made on the bill, and six members
who could not get the floor obtained per
mission to print their remarks. The
most noticeable speeches for the bill were
made 10y Cox. of New York, Farnsworth,
of H., and Bingham, Of Ohio. The lat
ter was congratulated on the passage Of

The Radical destructionists in Congress
are eager for something to turn up which
will serve them as pretext for taking
hold of this State to reconstruct it in the
interest of the Radical party. The old
adage about drowning men catching at
Gtraws is forcibly illustrated by these fel-
lows. A Washington dispatch of the
14th inst. says:
"The proposition made in the Nash
vile convention to submit the question of
negro suffrage to a vote of the people of
Tennessee was seized upon to-day by the
friends of Congressional interference in
the State as a reason why Congress should
act at once. A member of the Recon-
struction Committee stated in to-day's de-
bate that he favored legislation on it

GETTING MORE THAN THEY
RARGAINED FOR.

There are indications from Washington
that the Radicals in Congress are getting
more in the Georgia matter than they bar
gained for Their purpose was to so re-
construct the State as to give the Radicals
complete control of the patronage and
offices Of the State, but they did not sup
pose that their act was the entering wedge
to a complete disruption of the party,
through the ambitious designs of Gov.
Bullock, intent upon his own personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writes Jan. y, as follows:
The situation in Georgia is regarded as
very grave and important. kilograms
have been going back and forth from this
point to Atlanta yesterday and to-day, in
great numbers. Some of the facts in the
matter were given last night Gov. Bull
lock telcgraphs that twelve Of the mem
bers of the Legislature who took the oath
committed perjury in so doing; that the
Democrats are jubilant and defiant that
they will overthrow the loyalistS unless
Terry turns out the disqualified members
and seats others, and that the case is criti-
cal and demands immediate attention from
the President Capt. Bryant, one of
the members of the lower branch, and
State Postmaster at Augusta, sends
a long dispatch saying that he stands by
his record as a Union soldier and Republi-
can, and has resigned his postoflice in or
der 10 serve his State, and that no matter
what any body charges, he intends re-
naming in his party and doing what he
can to purify it. He charges Bullock
with corruption; with acting illegally in

IT appears that the Radical leaders are
beginning to feel that the validity of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,
should the latter be ratified, is at least
questionable. Under these circumstances,
it is suggested by one of the Radical or
gans in Washington, as the only means
of repose, the calling of a constitutional
convention to cure the evil. That paper
says:
cit has been suggested that, to provide
8 definite guietus for such questions, it
may be necessary to convoke constitu-
tional convention, which should recast
the entire constitution, with all its amend
ments, taking advantage of the occasion
to affirm the sense of the country upon
any desirable modification Of that instru-
ment.n Z .
The more sensible Republicans are he
ginning to fear that we are acting hastily
and inconsiderately. Nothing certainly
could be more disastrous to the public
peace than a doubtful fundamental law.

specie payments could be resumed this
year, it is doubtful if we could keep the
gold in the country, so constant and
heavy is our foreign indebtedness. Thus
in manufactured cottons, which used to
be one of our strong points, we were
only able to export So, 81, 600 in cur
rency value in 1869, against $l0,994,000
(gold) in 1860, or about one-quarter
of the former In woolens our ex-
port was even less in proportion,
having fallen off six per cent. the
past year, amounting only to the small
sum of 100000, while Great Britain
during the same year exported 1929, 000,-
900. In one branch, the manufacture of
boots and shoes, we formerly considered
ourselves pre-eminent. Ten years ago,
no country could compete with the United
States in the quickness, cheapness and
efficiency with which boot or shoe could
be made. Since then, our machinery has
been improved. But now, such is the
burden of our defective system of taxa
ton, boot or shoe costs more in gold
than it did in 1858; and as consequence
we cannot exchange with the products of
foreign countries, where they are manufac-
tured more cheaply. The export has de-
clined from 81, 1923, 900 in 1863 to s6S1,
FOG in 1867, and s475, O5O in 1869. Again,
this country has possession alone of ma
chinery which can manufacture combs,
piano keys and other articles of ivory,
cheaper than anywhere else. But SO
heavyi is the tax on ivory that there isnow
/ scarcely any export of these articles from
the United States. In exclusively domes-
tic manufactures, we all know how en-
tirely shipbuilding has been destroyed
by our taxation, so that while
our increase of tonnage in 1867
ought to have been, according
to the past average, 500, 900 tons, it was
only 80, 900, thus throwingout of employ
ment according to trustworthy esti-
mate) in that one year 10000 men in
building, equipping and sailing vessels.
Or we may take a smaller branch yet,
employing $2O,OOO,OOO of capitalize
silk and fur hat manufacture. Here,
with duties of sixty per cent. on the raw
material, the cost is SO heightened tha
the export is almost entirely cut off
and the demand at home reduced
twenty-five per cent. during thu
past three years. All the revenue de
rived from this branch is $500, 900, anC
the domestic manufacture cannot cOmpet'
with the foreign. These instances coulC
be multiplied by the scores, where taxa
ton, direct and indirect, has eaten GU
the vitals of our industries. Expenses o
production are rendered so heavy that w
cannot compete with foreign countries
while every one is paying useless tax
When will Congress have courage for
thorough reform2
