THE ADDITIONAL CONGRESSMAN.

THE ADDITIONAL CONGRESSMAN.
The supplemental apportionment bll
which has passed Congress, gives Tennes-
see an additional member Of Congress, and
the impression has prevailed that this mem
Der would be elected by the State at large
without any legislation on the part of the
State. The Knoxville Press and Herald
takes a different view of the provisions of
the bill. That paper says:
"The supplemental bill as it finally passed,
if we correctly understand 1t, provides that
the States, themselves, TO which additional
members have been allotted, shall decide in
each case, whether the member shall be
elected by the State at large, or new ar
raugement of districts throughout the
State shall be made. Until such determin-
alton has been made by the State of
of Tennessee, is there any propriety in
embarking in a canvass for the position?
There being no other authority competent
to speak for the State in the matter, will it
not be necessary for the Governor to con-
vene the Lagis lature again, in extra session,
! if we wish to avail ourselves CT the benefit
of the law? We think it will, uEquestion-
! ably. Besides, although we have not had
an opportunil y Of examining the law, our
information is that it provides that the men,
Der may be elected cat large" for the merit
! Congress, but fter that, there must be a
Encouragement of the districts so as to
provide an additional district for the new
member. This being SO, the Legislature,
in extra session, will have to decide whe-
Their it will, itself, reopen the veXed ques-
ton of a general re-districting bill, or remit
! it to the next Legislature, when it must be
done if we accept and provide for the addi-
| tional member. Had We not better go
slow, Just little while yet?'

THE fire at Cofeeville, Miss, on the 10th
of April, which destroyed the residence of
Mr.. Edward Mayes, also consumed all the
valuable manuscripts Of the late Rev. A. B.
Longstreet, better known as Judge Long
street, author of "Georgia Scenes" These
manuscripts had been placed in the hands
of Mr.. Mayes to be edited, and he was
waiting only to complete biography of the
distinguished deceased ere publishing them
in full. The humorous writings of Judge
Longstreet, GEORGIA Scenes" and others,
can be,replaeed; but what is to be much re-
GREETED, is the utter loss of the manuscript
of an original work, entitled biblical Crit
icism," TO which Judge Longstreet had dc.
voted many years Of assiduous study and
labor.

THE RECORD.

Col. Blanton Duncan publishes 8 long
card in the Louisville Ledger giving the
reasons why be cannot support Mr.. Greeley,
and why no Southern man should vote for
him. Among these reasons we find the
following:
GThose Southern men, who have lost
fortune, whose tender wives and little
children have suffered pinching privations
and the wants Of everyday comforts, can
appreciate the sentiments uttered by Mr..
Greeley in the New York Tribune, 10Th
November, 1850. These and kindred utter
ances, which developed the bad traits Of
Northern character and implanted in the
hearts of its people seed which have never
been eradicated; their full crops Of hate and
msliguity ripening for the sickle annually,
.v,A Tvsjs.eiI.ss -oooIIStruUtlUn aCJs, enforce
ment bills, Ku-Klux laws, civil rights, and
all the denominations which have oppressed
the South.
"'TherefJre shall we initiate the South no
more in war than in peace. When
the rebelliOus traitors are overwhelmed in
the field, and scattered like leaves before an
angry wind, it must not be to return to
peaceful and contented homes. They must
find poverty at their fresides, and see priys-
ton in the anxious eyes Of mothers and the
rags of Children"
We have in our officea file Of the Tribune
for 1860, and in the issue referred to by
Col. Duncan we find no such language as
he attributes to Mr.. Greeley, but we do find
the following in an article which bears in
ternal evidence of having been written by
that gentleman:
GIf the Cotton States unitedly and earn
estly wish to withdraw from the Union, We
think they should and would be allowed t
do so. Any attempt to compel them by
force to remain, would be contrary to the
principles enunciated in the immortal Dec
laratiOn of MISUNDERSTANDING to thu
fundamental ideas on which human liberty
is based. We trust, therefore, that if the
Cotton States should resolve to secede, they
will quietly and inoffensively announce
their determination to do so, asking Con.
Cress to call Convention to arrange the
terms of separation. They must be aware
that this is work of ditheulty-that time
is required to effect it-and that MIR. Blu
chanan, Mr.. Lincoln, or whoever may b
President, will be constrained Dy ms lhaug
ton oath to collect the revenue and en1orc'
the laws throughout the entire area
country until such separation shall haV'
been duly Effected. But if they really de
sire to &c out, and will allow time to efiec
the separation peacefully, we shan do VIVA
we can TO persuade the North to accede t
their wishes"
There is a considerable difference in tht
spirit Of the two extracts,

THE attention of military men has been
arrested by circular published by official
authority, showing the losses to the United
States army in the Department of the East
by desertion during the past twelve months.
They are unusually heavy. The Depart
ment of the East extends from Maine to
Fortress Monroe, and takes in the forts on
the frontier lakes in the State of New York.
The total number Of enlisted men on duty
in the Department averaged 2,540 a month,
ranging from 2,788 down to 2,169, which
was the number reached in September.
Out of this number there were no less than
800 desertions, or more than One-third of
the entire force! What has produced this
state of affairs in the army? Is it a lower
tone of character 10 the officers, or has the
use made of the army by Grant since bis
elevation to the Presidency relaxed its dis
cipline and undermined its esprit de corps

SENATOR FERRY, of Connecticut, has
written another letter in which he takes
very decided grounds against Mr.. Greeley.
As to his position on the questions Of the
day he says:
"There are certain issues, indeed, which
have grown into prominence since the pas
sage Of the acts of reconstruction in which
l do not believe. l do not believe in the
continuance of political disabilities after
they have become needless and mischiev-
Gus irritation, without single good result:
l do not believe in the miscalled Civil
Rights Bills, subversive Of local selfgov-
ernment and destructive of the school sys-
ten of whole groups of States. do not
believe in the re-enactment Of the Ku Kux
law, after it has expired by its own imita-
ton, and has accomplished all that was
originally alleged to be its purpose"
Mr.. Ferry does not say that he fayors
Grant, but that is the inference from the
tone of his letter. And yet, entertaining
the views we have quoted, it is singular be
could support man for President who ad,
vocates these outrageous measures.

IEFE. DAVIS AND GRANT.

The Baltimore correspondent Of the New
York Sun writes:
"There was little social gathering here
a few evenings ago. A number of Phila-
delphians belonging to the Loyal League
dined with Mr. Jefferson Davis, the eX-
President of the Confederate States. The
Loyal Leaguers are warm friends of Gen.
Grant. Among them was d. Dorcharty,
Mr.. George W. Childs, and Mr.. Morton Nc
Michael. They all felt for Mr.. Davis.
They drew illustrations to prove that
Grant was very magnanimous toward the
South. Mr.. Davis slipped his champagne,
and looked at the Leaguers with his piercing
gray eyes, but said nothing. Then one of
these gentlemen poured out all the eloquence
of his soul in depicting the deep and earn
est sympathy felt for the South by Grant,
from the time of Lees surrender up to the
present. Mr.. Davis still slipped his cham
payne and was silent. After listening
twenty minutes longer to the Loyal
Leaguers, he assured them that "a friend
in need was friend indeed and that they
might take it for granted that, as far rs be
and his house were concerned, they wou Id
support Old Honesty. The Loyal Leaguers
then disappeared like flock of bla ckbirds."

AGAINST THE RE-ELEGEBKL1TY OF
THE PRESIDENT.

The policy of limiting tie Presidential. /
Office to one term has been growing in favor
for nearly half century. Chief Justice
Marshall, in letter to the Hon. Alexander
Smytb, dated Richmond, Va, Jan. /, 1929,
said:
81 have received your speech on the reso-
luton amendatory Of the Constitution, and
thank you for sending iE to me. have
read it with great attention, and think the
argument against the re eligibility of the
President very strong. Public opinion is,
believe, taking decided direction to this
point; and am disposed to think IL its ia
vor. In great and powerful Re-
public, nothing is more difficult than the
disposition Of the Executive power. Yet,
though not very fond Of experiments,
should be disposed to try the effect of con-
fning the Chief Magistrate to single
term.n 49,
Gen. Jackson, although, compelled by the
popular enthusiasm TO accept the honors of
a second term, in his second inaugural mes
slge thus exhorts Congress-: s-szg
ain order, particularly, that the Office Of
| President may, as far as possible, be placed
beyond the reach of any improper influ-
ences; in order that he may approach the
solemn responsibilities of the highest office
in the gift Of q free people, uncOnmitted to
| any other course than the strict line of con-
| stitutional duty; and that the curities for
| this independence may be rendered as
| strong as the nature Of the power and the
weakness Of its possessor viii admit; can
not too earnestly invite your attention TO
| the propfiety Of promoting such amendment
| to The Constitution as win render him in
eligible after one four years term of ser
vice." )
And now, in the face Of the history of
the last few years-with an incumbent in
Office shamelessly unfit forts grave respon-
sibilities, and who is using its patronage in
the most corrupt manner to secure the adj
vantages of another term-we can feel the
necessity and high importance Of this sage
advice. Never before, certainly, in the histo-
ry of the country, was the necessity of a
change in our Constitution restricting the
Presidential office to one term brought
more forcibly before the people than at pres,
ent. At the time Gen. Jackson sent this ad
vice to Congress, neither the corruptions Oh
the patronage of the Executive office had
attained anything like the proportions i
now exhibits. The men who had filed tht
positions were pure and pahiotic,and knew
no motive save those that were engenderet
By warm desire for the cOuntcy's welfare
Aud If such advice was necessary with suCl
men in Office, how much more SO must i
be now when the Office is looked upon a
only desirable for the mere purposes of pow
err and Of wealth; and when all itsimmens
and overshadowing patronage is enlisted t
strengthen its position and guarantee ii
} continuance.

The Supreme Court decided, in session at
Jackson on the 18th instant, that notwith-
standing bank was informed "of the pur-
pose for which the drawer Of the bill wanted
the money" did not suffice to prove that
the purpose of the bank in making tn e
loan was to enable him to use the money
in the manufacture Of arms for the Confed-
crate States. 1t is presumed that the Cou 1T
is not prepared to mold that the use of mon
pvs in the manufacture of arms for the
Confederate armies was an illegal use of
money which would vitiatea contract be
tween the lender and the borrower, if it
were shown that the purpose OF the lender
was to furnish the funds for such use.

A WISE Government order has just been
issued in Germany summoning all public
officials who have any interest in banking,
manufacturing, or speculative enterprise to
decide at once which business they prefer
to pursue, as no holder of public office is
hereafter to be permitted to engage in any
outside scheme of money-making. If the
same order should be promulgated in this
country and its strict observance insisted
upon, it would not only raise the official
standard, but il would forever put an end
to the common charge, many times unjust,
that person in Office was using his oppor-
tunities for the purpose of furthering his
private interests.
