New ORLENs. April 27.-Two Colored
graduates of Howard Universe ty, District

before the Supreme Court for admission to
the Bar of this State. The applications
were refused on the ground that although
parties who have practiced before the Su-
preme Court of any State can be admitted
upon a motion before the Court, yet these
candidates, coming from a Territory, do
not come within the letter of the law, and
will have to pass examination before a
committee appointed by the Supreme
Court before they can be admitted to the

THE KUKLUX.

In another column will be found an
account of the hanging of two colored
men, Bill and Ed. johnson, in Weakly
County in this State.
The Democatic papers which contain
the account, contain also numerous pro-
te.tations against the Ku-Klux law passed
by Congress at the close Of the last session.
It seems to us the shearest folly to deny the
necessity for such a law when the outrages
which induced Congress to pass it are of
daily occurrence throughout the South.
And while we regret the necessity which
calls for such extreem measures all must
acknowledge that Congress had no other
alternative. The humblest citizen has a
right to expect of his Government protec-
ton in person and property from the at
tack of such as have a desire to injure
either one or the other, and if the State

The Civil War in France.

VERSAILLES, April p, evening.-Issy's
fire ceased at noon to-day, Other insur-
gent works continue to fire. The first
parallel ofthe besiegers oc1pied to-day, and
the second parallel has commenced. A
general attack is expected tonight. the
Commune has sent its best battalions to
the threatened points, but the defense
seem insufficient.
Theirs announces that active operations
commenced yesterday.
The Versaillists made an unsuccessful
attempt to cross the Seine to get to City
chy.
Seven Fort Issy guns have been dis
mounted.
For Montrogue is in ruins, and the
southern forts badly damaged.
The Versaillist projectiles from the
south fall within the ramparts and kill
and wound many.
Mot DOdre saysthat the Commune will
blow up the forts if necessary.
The Communal Council now Lolds Sc
cret sessions.
LONDON, April 27.-The Evening
Standard has the following dispatch from
Paris The Commune suffers for want of
union among its members, as well as for
lack of money and men.
The National Guards openly disobey
the orders of the Commune.
1t is believed hat the Commune will
make its last stand in Rue de RiyOli and
Rue de Castiglione, in the immediate vicin-
ity Of the Place Vendome.
Fort Moatrouge will probably be stor-
med by the Versailles army to-day.
The Commune has impressed into mill

railway.
BERLIN, April 27.-The Kreis ZeH-
uny that Prince Bismarck has
instructed Gen. Fabrice to represent to

fere in the affairs of the city in favor of the
Versailles Government.

LETTER FROM OHIO.

The following letter of inquiry was re-
ceived some time since, and the writer
will excuse us for not replying more
PROMPTLY. Our answer will serve as a re-
ply to the many letters requesting infor,
nation as to our country, its DC,
received from Northern and Western men
who desire to emigrate South:
KINsMAN, Ohio.
Editors Herald and Tribune:
You will excuse my liberty in address
ing you, in the explanation that L am per-
sonaily acquainted with no one i'm your
State. and wish to learn something DELI
nately and reliably of its resources and
prospects, the price of lands nd their
adaptation &c. Respectfully,
MALCOLM SPENCER.
REPLY Tennessee is divided into three
grand divisions-East, Middle and West.
In the two last the land is generally level,
fertile and produces Cotton and Corn very
a~bundantly. These are the principal crops.
East Tennessee may be termed a vast val
ley, lying between the Kittalinny and
Cumberland ranges of mountains. The
country is broken and whilst the hills are
tillable and can be made highly produc-
tive by vigorous culture and care, the in
terrifying low-lands are exceedingly fruit
full. The hill-land is highly adapted to
wheat, clover, and all kinds of grasses. In
fact, their is no section of the Union that
surpasses East Tennessee in the nature of
soil and climate, required for the success
full and remunerative growing of wheat.
Did our farmers devote as much attention
to grasses as other States, stock raising
would be as profitable as it is in the blue
Grass" regions of Kentucky. Ohio and the
Prairie States of the West. The cereals
also yield abundantly in the ~vallies. Our
forests abound in the most valuable tim
bers of all kinds. We have a water pow
err sufficient to drive the machinery of all
New England. 1t is rarely that a farm
can be found that cannot boast a good
spring, furnishing a superintendent supply
of water for both man and beast. The
health of our section has passed into a
proverb. No epidemic ever scourged it.
The pure mountain air and crystal, spark
ling water are a sure defence against the
inrodes of all malignant diseases. The
people are peaeeable, generous and hospi-
table, and the stranger who "casts his
lines" with them, is heartily welcomed,
no matter from whence he halls, nor erhat
his religious Or political creeds! The
prices of land range from ten to forty dol
lars per acre, varied according to %cultiva-
ton and location, as to post-ofices, school
houses. churches. towns and railroad de-
pots.
We are satisfied, all things considered
that no section of the South offers more
numerous and inviting inducements to
those seeking new homes in a country like
ly to attain a high state of prosperity and
advancement than our own beloved East
Tennessee.

A REMARKABLY DOCUMENT.

WE, the undersigned members of the
Republican party, proud Of its past ser
vices in preserving the Union, abolish
ing slavery, and establishing the politi-
cal equality of all citizens, but conVinc-
ed that its continued usefulness and sue
cess will depend upon its meeting the
questions Of the present and the imme-
diate future in the spirit of justice, inde-
pendence and equality which have il
lustrated its progress hitherto, have
organized the Central Republican Asso-
citation of Hamilton County, Ohio, for
the promotion by our united efforts and
influence Of the following views and
principles, which it is our earnest con-
viction should be adopted by the Repub-
ican party for its future guidance:
l. We believe the further continuance
of the policy of Acknowledgement to be
incompatible with q proper regard for
the fundamental principles of Republi-
can Government and statesnanship;
and, while unalterably determined to
maintain the great results of the war,
we insist that its enmities and resent
ments shall be buried, that all remain
ing causes of irritation shall be removed,
and that all political disabilities inpos-
ed for participation in the rebellion
shall be abolished.
2. We believe that to defray the ex-
penses of the Government, TO pay the
interest on the National debt, and the
principal as it shall from time to time
become due, q considerable portion of
the public revenues should be derived
from duties on imports, but that such
duties should be Imposed for revenue
and no other purpose.
We are opposed to the present system
Of nFOfnpfiUp fiTltiaa IF 20
wrong in principle, and defeats its own
ends IN practice. 1t is at war with ev-
cry principle Of equality and Justice on
when the Republican party was found
ed. 1t promotes corruption in legislation
and plunder in high places. It has
needlessly and heavily increased the
cost Of living crippled our export trade,
destroyed our ship-building, and paraly-
Zed our industry. It has created oner-
GUS monopOlies, augmented the expen-
ses OF collecting the revenue, encour-
aged smuggling, stimulated frauds and
dishonesty in CustOm-houses, and SO in
creased the cost of production as to ena-
Die foreign manufacturers to undersell
us in our own markets. Weare willing
to be taxed for the support of the Gov
ernment, but we protest against being
taxed for the benefit of private individ-
uals and corporations; and we further
protest against making the shroud of the
old Wing party the mantle of Republi-
canism. We, therefore, demand that
tariff duties be so adjusted as to derive
the requisite revenue from the smallest
possible number of taxable articles.
3. We are opposed to the employment
Of Government patronage for party
purposes. We believe that the maxim
TO the victors belong the spoils" is inn
moral, unwise, and detrimental to the
public service, and that its tendency
has been to corrupt the political life
blood of the nation. We protest against
the useIof public offices to reward politi-

cal friends or punish political enemies.
We are in favor Of an immediate and
thorough reform of the civil service of
the Federal Government, and we insist
that the appointments of subordinate
officers should be made on the ground of
fitness only, with promotions for merit
and the tenure of the Office depending
on the honesty and efficiency of the Off
Ger, without regard to the fluctuations of
political opinions and the changes of
party relations. We further believe
that party nominations should be made
only when party principles are at stake,
and that the custom Of applying party or
political tests to candidates for merely
local offices degrades the standard of
public morality, lowers the tone of pO-
iiticaI affairs, breeds corruption and in
efficiency in Office, and transfers the
peoples right to choose their own mu-
nicipal rulers and representatives to the
fraudulent lottery of caucuses and con-
ventiOns, which, instead of facilitating,
impede, clog and obscure the expression
of the popular will.
4. We believe that an irredeemable
currency is fraught with great evils and
dangers to the Well-being of the coun-
try. 1t causes perniciOus fluctuations,
unsettles values, destroys confidence,
and forms dangerous weapon in the
hands of demagOgues appealing to ig-
norance and prejudice. With bound
less resources, and revenues in excess of
the expenditures, of the Government,
Notwithstanding the fearful war through
which we have passed, we can see no
use for endangering the public credit by
floating the broken promises of the Ma
ton. We, therefore, deem it the duty
of the Republican party to take initiate
ry steps for gradual but certain return
to gold and silver as the only true basis
of currencies.
Animated by an abiding conviction
that that these views will sooner or later
be vindieated by the intelligence and
patriotism Of the American people, we
present them to our fellow-citizens for
their deliberate and candid considera-
alton.
