Tennessee and Minnesota.

lSt. Paul (AIinn.) Pioneer-Press.
A surprise of the pleasantest kind comes in
the news of the latest action of the Tennessee
Legislature upon the question of reputation.
That State alone, of ali the Southern tier, now
assumes its just responsibilities, and engages
to pay its creditors dollar for dollar. e.
Modification mingles with the satisfaction
with which Minnesota contemplates the final
action of her sister State. Sitting proudly in
the seat of empire of the great Northwest
with wealth and population increasing at ra-
ito before unequaled, she sees this State, to
which men of the North are accustomed to re-
fer as part OF the repudiating South, step out
from those dishonored ranks amid the applause
of all civilized and honest people, while she is
hasgling with her creditors about the settle
ment of debts no more questionable than those,
and contemplating the possibility of evading
the payment of even moiety by a legal quib-
BILE. Is it too much to hope that by the light of
her sisters triumph she may finally be enabled
to understand her own disgrace? Where hon.
or fails to influence, a sense of shame is some
times more etfectual The victory of Tennes-
see will, indeed be worthy of remembrance if
it should be the preface to our own complete
deliverance.

By the advice of the Council and in compli-
ance with venerated usage, appoint Thurs
day, the 9th day of April next, for humiliation,
fasting and prayer.
l recommend to each citizen to observe the
day as Christian, if he be under the influence
OF any vice, to Danish it-if in error, to correct
tiff under obligations to others, honestly to
discharge them if suffering injuries, to for
give them, if aware of ,animosities, to extln-
guish them;- and if able to do any benevolent
acf to any being created by the Almighty Pow
er to which he owes existence and his facul-
ties, to do it.
And, with a conscience thus prepared may
we visit the Temple of God, to worship Him
with that humble and happy disposition
which always belongs to piety and innocence;
beseeching Him that the religion He sent by
our Saviour may not be perverted through the
pride and prejudices of sectarianism, but may
universally receive the homage of a correct
faith and good works
Especially recommend that being members
OF one great community we unite as Christian
Politicians, so that we may render perpetual
the peace and prosperity of our country and of
this State. ENOCH LINCOLN.

one continued manifestation of sympathy
and sorrow. In populous cities. small, viii

covered many buildings, all added to the
solemnity of the scene.
At numerous points along the route bounti-
ful floral offerings were observed. and at sew
ersl places the track was literally covered for
a distance of more than a hundred wards

for murder in the first degree, the penelty for
which is death.
Everything at the Jail was quiet on Mon
day. Guiteau is described as being some
what restless, but he alternately reads and
writes. He is thought to be engaged in writ
ing his reflection, on the shooting and the
Presidents death. 1t is generally thought
by those who have examined the statutes that
Guiteau cannot be convicted of murder under
the District laws and Col. Corkhill is now
said to entertain that opinion.
