Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1871-06-03

ADyOUnxMENT OF THE SENATE.
1t will be good news to those who
have not already heard II, that the
Scmate Lac adjourned. The chrtnin
did not Sui upon the last scene, with-
out dis play Of drunkenness which
goes far "a explain the mennness Of
that exc ,ssively corrupt party. The
work ID ne by the Senate, in extra
session. was tile ratification of the
latest Radical humbug-the treaty
of Washington, and the release of
the men ibers of the Press, imprfson-
ell by ~ saDts for the publication Of
the treaty, In advance Of Its official
annouD Pment.
These things being done, the Rail-
cal mel nbers parted with no good
feeling .mong themselves, the troub-
Ie grow ng out of their different con-
structio rs Of the meaning Of the
treaty, Which 1t is said will require a
supplen entail treaty to make the first
one mi eligible. The Democratic
membe9s are jubilant over the aspect
Of affair !, giving increased brightness
to their hopes of Radical defeat,
In 1872.

TT Is reported that Chicago, H.,
"School Marm," has discovered a
marked change in the department of
the fefnale scliollars-saying they
now laugh at and enjoy things which
would once have caused them to
blush crimsoa. This change, she as
cribes to the filthy doctrines taught
by the Woodhulls, the Claffins, the
Stantofs, the Stones, and other crow
Ing bo,ls, encouraged and abetted by
the ''r,osters without spurs" who
plume themselves upon being the
favored lords of the free-love barn
yard. Vice, when inculcated by both
precept and example, soon perme-
ates the social system, subjected to
their ombined influence, and the
young nre the first to feel and yield
to the allurements of a dangerous
license disguised in the garb of vir-
tuous f,eedom. g MF
Will st we cannot but feel mortIi iesl
at the grave -derelictions Of Ameri-
can fei nales, anywhere, it is conso-
lation to know that the native and
cultivated purity of our southern
womei Is n safeguard against the
vile cDntagion of the demoralizing
teachings and immodest practice Of
those nermophradites-the spawn of
of Puritan morality and religion, and
Of Ra lical hcresies and corruption
who degrade their sex by calling
thems elves women, and burlesque
true manhood by assuming to be
men. We fear that the experience
of this Chicago teacher, is that of
many others of the same calling
throu yhout the North, which section
can boast its thousands of enlight-
ened and pure women, and the Won
der Is that their noble virtues are not
brought to bear against the spread of
the disgusting, yet dangerous, doc
trinel of spiritual affinity and the
lewd ness which follows, as effect fol-
lows cause. There is nothing charg-
ed rs ainst the fabulous Kuklux, half
so dil gushing MS the instances of crime
and ust instigated by those doctrines
wi ,ich loathsome instances are pa
rade'i, with sickening gusto, In the
very papers, so bitter against manu-
factl red southern Outrages.
Tie southern women may be devO-
tees 10 fashion-they may, and many
do, lev tie too much time and thought
to Il ings in themselves frivolous; but
the, never forget that they are wo-
mer nor lose sight of their glorious
misiio as conservators of private,
soci N and public virtue. Had the
neil of the South been half as patri-
otto and true to the ''lost cause" as is
her nc female defenders, we would
not now he cursed with Radical rule
and the impure "isms" which threat
EN- TO Diet hrone modest purity and In
augurate al era of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
