The State Of Tennessee is worth
moro 3ow, by seven millions, than at
the time the building of railroads
was begun in the State, notwitstand-
ing the loss of one hundred and four
teen. million to the State in slaves.
In an article on the subject ofsmall
farms, the Brownsville Bee says !:
Let the owner of a thousand acres of
the lands sell nine hundred of it to
nine white men of good character,
standing, enterprise and public spirit
holding one hundred for himself, and
then we have ten good citizens with
their families-ten we'll cultivated,
well improved farms-ten times as
many schools and churches, and ten
times as much prosperity as we now
have with one whole family and q
colony of freedmen, from day to day
destroying a thousand acres of fine
land and adding not a cent to the real
prosperity of the country

Mr.. S. II. ARSELL seems to be a
Woman's Rights man. At recent
meeting q the strong-minded, in one
ofthe House Committee Rooms at
Washington, Mrs. HOOKER, the Pre-
sident, thus complimented our for
mer Representative:
To you, Mr.. ArnelI, we owe not
only the passage of "a bill to do JUS
tice to the female employees of the
Government" but the first admission
of women to this Capitol as citizens
having common rights with the rul-
ing class. In y0uT committee room
we found not only a home, but such
courtesy, such opportunity, for friend
" consultation with members upon
subjects of deepest political impor-
lance as must forever silence Inc abb
surd claim that men and women will
cease to regard the decorum Of life,
to interchange its happy cicilities
when they become equally RESPONSE
bic for the welfare of the State.

After Congress- had passed the bill
repeating the test oath, the President
stated to Senator. in the most posi-
tive terms, that he should interpose a
veto.
About the same time, and before
the bill had reached the President, he
told the correspondent ola New Y Ork
paper that he should sign it prompt
ly.
1t only remains to be added that
the bill has now become law with
out the Presidents signature.
This reminds one of the promises
he:used to make to citizens of the
South, and then break them almost as
soon as made.

THE forty-first Congress expired
last Saturday at noon. The New
York Herald truly says, that the YER
diet upon il will be that il has lamen-
tahly failed 10 come up TO the stand
ard of the people. To cuumerate all
their sins of commission would be to
rive an account of almost everything
they did: their reckless expenditure
of the peoples money: ubiquitous,
oppressive and sectional laws upon
The people OF the South: the unconsti-
tutional and anti-republican Enforce
ment Act, which was meant to op-
prcss the South and force her enraged
citizens 10 do things out of which the
Radicals may make capital; and its
twin brother in iniquity. TO establish
u federal police 10 control elections
in the States. The sins of omission.

ed TO bI inc about the same result, as

best citizens of the South of political
disabilities reform of the civil SER
vice. etc, etc. Truly may IT be Sald
that the 4lst Congress adjourned
without performing one single act
of legislation on which it can appeal
TO the people for an endorsement OF
lis wisdom or ability, and very APP
propriately may it repeat the confess
sional phrase Of the Episcopal litur-
gv: I've have done those things that
we ought not 10 have dohe, and we
have left undone those things that we
ought to have done, and there is no
health in IL.
