EAST TENNESSEE.

The prOscriptive, short-sighted policy of
the Tennessee Legislature has had the eff
feet to arouse the people of East Tennessee
to their true situation. Heretofore, the
charge that Middle and West Tennessee
was arrayed against this division of the
State has been received with allowance,
and the most charitable construction pos
sible, has been placed upon it. The pass
age of the infamous appOrtionment bill
has served to dispel all illusions on the
subject. 1t is no longer doubted by any
disinterested man, that East Tennessee is
to be as far as possible prevented from ex-
ercising any influence in public affairs. 1t
is to this fact, that we attribute the general
awakening of East Tennessee voters.
From every part of this section, we hear
expressions of Indignation in the action of
the Legislature in DISTINGUISHING the peo-
pie of the Second Congressional District.
We predict that the corrupt politicians
who managed the job, will meet with re-
buke at the ballot box this summer that
will bring the blush of shame to their
cheeks, provided they are capable of en-
PERTAINING such feeling.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON April 2-Mr. Robertson sub
united letter ad dressed TO himself and Saw
yers, from Gems. Wade Hampton, Kershaw and
they were connected with the kuklux organiza-
ton, or ever had been.
Mr.. Blair remarked that the Senator from
Vermont Mr.. Edmunds, had in the same de-
bate and at the same time charged that the
counsel employed to defend the prisoners in
North Carolina the Hon. Reverdy johnson,
and the Hon. Henry Stanberry, had become
disguised with the crimes which were proved
against their clients and had abandoned their
cases. He then sent to the desk to be read
letter Of the date of February 10, 1873, address,
ed by Mr.. johnson to General Wade Hampton.
In the letter Mr.. johnson refers to the state
ment of Mr.. Edmunds, which he says is utterly
unfounded. So far from abandoning the cases,
he says that Mr.. Stanberry and himself remain
ed at Columbia until their mission was consum-
mated.
He also says that there was neither the slight
est testimony nor suspicion to connect the three
gentlemen to whom alluson was made as hav-
ing any concern with the kuklux movements,
and he is satisfied that Mr. Edmunds, whom he
knows would not consciously do an injustice,
has been egregriously deceived. Mr. Edmunds
said that the common report had said that
MeSsrs. johnson and Stansbery had abandoned
the case and he believed it then, and with all
due difference, he believed it now Concerning
his statements as to the three persons alluded to
he had been creditably informed that evil
dence to criminate them was in the possession
of the officers of the government and would be
produced at the proper time.
HOUSE.
Several land bills were passed
Mr.. Halves from the Committee of Ways and
Means offered a resolution declaring, in effect
that the substitution by the Senate under the
form of an act to reduce internal taxes, &C., is
contrary to the provisions of the Constitution,
and is in conflict with the true intent and pur-
pose of that clause of the Constitution which
requires that all bills relating to the revenue
shall originate in the House of Representatives,
and that the said substitute for the House bill
DO lie on the table, and that the Clerk inform
the Senate of the action of the House. together
with the reasons therefor
Dir. DAVIS said conflict of this nature
should always be avoided if possible and should
never be made upon trifing matters. He had
not offered the resolution just read, without due
regard to the subject matter and desired. if nos
sble, to avoid the difficulties suggested by il,
He had not offered this resolution as his own.
but with the advice and direction of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means He proceeded to
address the House, urging the importance of
the question and claiming that the Senate, in
sending back practically a new bill with even
the title changed, had infringed the clause of
the Constitution. Messrs. Cox, of New York;
Garfield, of Ohio Butler, of Massachusetts,
and Maynard, of Tennessee, supported the
resolution. The resolution was adopted, 15S

THIS GREAT HAIR PRoDUCER.-Hair Oils,
Pom,tums and Pomades have had their day.
They belong to the musty past. Nobody that
understands the chemistry Of the hair and the
philosophy of its growth thinks of using them.
Instead of clogging the pores of the seal with
thick onguents, AMI thus obstructing insensi-
BILE perspiratinn which is essential to the health
ofthe fbres, we now tone the surface Of the
head with an invigorating application which
penetrates to the roots of the hair and stimu-
lates them in the same way that the fertilizing
agents spread over the meadows stimulate the
grass roots and cause the blades to spring up
IN myriads, coating the earth'with verdure. The
invigorant best adapted TO this purpose is LY
oN's kATHAIRoN. It may well be called the
FERTILIZER of the head. To the barren scalp
it communicates vegetative power. 1.-THE hair
is dropping out or becoming dry and withered,
it arrests the process of dilapidation or blight.
The HAIR thickens and becomes glossy and flex
ible under its genia, operation, and as a dress
ing it is unapproached by any preparation that
has yet been laid on the toilet of Fashion.
If you desire rosy cheeks and COM
p!exion fair and free from Pimples and blotch
es. purify your blood by the use of Or. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t has 10 equal
for this pur rose.
