gislature of this State met and organized,
yesterday. No business was done.
Tennmiee legislature.
NASHVILLE, November 16.-The Senate,
to-day, passed Senator Trimble's blood?
thirsty resolutions, demanding the blood
of Davis and other prominent rebel leaders,
by a vote of 15 to 3. Those voting in the
negative wore Bowen, Frazer, of Knox?
ville, and Lazaler.
Prom Alabama..
MONTGOMERY, November 23.-Governor
Parsons' message to the Legislature urges
the adoption of the constitutional amend?
ment abolishing slavery and thc passage
of laws for thc protection of negroes in
person and property. This course, he
says, v IV secure tho admission of Repre?
sentativos in Congress and restore tho
State to all her political rights.
French and Fenian Scare.
NEW YORK, November 23.-The state?
ment made on the 10th instant that the
French Government had complained to the
custom authorities against five steamers
and sundry persons (the former as destined
to transport arms, Ac, to Mexico,) iras
substantially correct. An extract from an
official Btates that a clearance was refused
a steamer until she had been examined by
Collector King, tho collector giving as a
reason for this course that he had received
protests against severn1 vessels in port,
said to be preparing for illicit purposes
against the French and British commerce.
From Mexico.
WASHINGTON, November 24.-New Or?
leans and Mexican advices state that the
Liberal army is encamped nine miles from
Matamorad, and are confident of th?
speedv capture of that place and Bagdad.
Highly important communications have
passed between the commander of thc Im?
perial fleet and thc Liberal commander at
Brownsville.
General Meyer issued an order prohibit?
ing persons from crossing from the Ameri?
can side to Matamoras, or vice versa.
Tho Liberals are reported in force eight
miles from Matamoras.
From Mississippi.
JACKSON MISSISSIPPI, November 23.-A
bill has passed the House of Delegates al?
lowing freedmen to testify when parties to
thc record.
General Humphreys has telegraphed to
the President relative to tho withdrawal
of colored troops. He replied that it will
be dono when order is maintained without
them. There is no disposition on the part
of the Government to dictate, but simply
to advise a beneficial policy.
Governor Humphreys' message to the
Legislature recommends that negro testi?
mony be admitted in the courts, and the
passage of laws to encourage freedmen to
support their families and educate their
children. He thinks that thc passage of
these measures will secure the withdrawal
of tho troops.
Admission of Southern Congressmen.
WASHINGTON, November 22.-An inter?
esting feature of tho political situation is
that of members of Conercss elect who
may be willing to take tho oath. Mr.
Forney sometime since stated that such
should be admitted. Tho President has
stated as much, but under the Colfax pro?
gramme, they cannot be until their States
have made laws in consistence with the
.Declaration of Independence, and the
people have endorsed tho action of their
recent State conventions. But under the
laws of the United States, States aro dis?
tricted for cboico of Congressmen, who
are accredited as from certain established
districts. When persons aro elected by
the people of such districts, how can they
be kept from their seats in the House?
I hear from several quartos to-dav that
the President is very firm in his policy of
a prompt restoration of tho Southern
States.
The conduct of the British Government
in surrendering the Shenandoah to the
United States is not regarded in any
quarter as deserving of especial commen?
dation, unless tho act he accompanied by
compensation commensurate with the
damages heretofore committed on Ameri?
can shipping by tho English built and
English recognized cruisers.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON, November 23.-It is stated
that Mr. Colfax will be on tho ground hore
until Congress meets. He will thus have
great advantage in manipulating members
as thor come, in advance, to his interest
as candidate for Speaker, and as champion
of severe measures against the South.
The Boston Post has it that General
Banks, the "little iron man," will bea
candidate for Speaker, ar*l the Chicago
T?mes calls upon Mr. Raymond to run on
juste milieu position advocated by him and
carried in the Republican State Convention
of New York.
In a caucus of Republican members it
may he found necessary to harmonize
views before there will be unity of action
for the House officers.
It is rumored hero that Dr. Powell, State
agent of North Carolina, has gono to that
State with a view to preparo the way for
the inauguration of Mr. Worth a? Go?
vernor. He is invariably spoken of here
by all North Carolinians as an excellent
man, and one little identified with original
secession.
General Butler is expected hero soon.
He will probably play rather a large part
in politics next winter, Massachusetts be?
ing on a high horse.
It is said that Mr. Colfax is not in the
usnal confidential relations at thc Whits
House.
I hear that radical members of thc
House are moving in concert to prevent
th? appointment of Mr. Davis, of Massa?
chusetts, as Chairman of the Committee on
Elections.
The (Jon federate ram Stonewall was
forced by the gale to put into Beaufort
harbor on Sunday.
The Stonewall will arrive here in time to
be examined by the court martial now try?
ing Commodore Craven for not attacking
her ai Ferrol, in March but.
WASHINGTON, November 24.-The Con?
federate ram Stonewall arrived this morn
The President has rt . ok? i the proclama?
tion of rewards offered 'ot tho arrest of
Jacob Thompson, Boverly Tncker, Saund?
ers, Cleary and Surratt.
Thn ol?!m? for the rcvrard offered fr? thc
apprehension of Booth and others associat?
ed with him are to be determined by a
special commission.
It ia stated that Judge Magrath and Mr.
Seddon hare beon released on parole.
The President has directed that no letters
patent be granted to any person residing
in recent insurrectionary districts, without
satisfactory proof of loyalty is furnished.
Our Relations with Mexico.
The appointment of General Logan
as Minister of the United States to
the Republic of Mexico is commemo?
rated by the opportune intelligence
of a Liberal success. The capture of
Monterey by the Republican forces
under Genend Poma gives token that
the elements of armed opposition to
the Empire still exist in the Mexican
people themselves, and all the edicts
and proclamations of Maximilian can?
not alter or conceal the fact, that
successful armies are disputing his
title upon the very soil over which
he claims dominion. If the military
power of the two self-created Empe?
rors cannot protect an important and
populous city from the assaults of the
"robbers and guerillas." as they aro
called, that uphold the cause of
Juarez, the imperial decrees that
pronounce the Empire to be fixed
and stable are, to say the least, a little
premature. The Liberals have cer?
tainly exhibited a constancy worthy
of the cause to which they are de?
voted ; and, although they have been
unable to repel the splendid legions
of France, drilled to perfection and
supplied with the most formidable
engines of modern warfare, they have
earned the right to be considered
legitimately in the field as defenders
of the flag of their Republic, and are
entitled to the privileges of belliger?
ents and to the respect that is due to
patriotism and valiant soldiership.
Our people, therefore, will regard
the misson of Logan as a proper
manifestation of friendly relations
between the United States and the
rightful Government of Mexico. His
appointment is a recognition of the
existence of the Mexican Republic
and a formal denial of the existence
of the Empire. But, it is rumored,
that this mission is not intended to
be fulfilled in good faith; that it is
simply a contrivance to bring before
the Administration an official report
of the absence of political essence on
the part of the adherents of Juarez;
in brief, that Gen. Logan is to act the
farce of searching for what he does
not propose to find, and to return his
credentials with the report that tho
Government to which they are ac?
credited "non est inventus." We trust
that no such contemptible intrigue is
in contemplation. Our policy upon
; the Mexican question should be frank,
direct and explicit. Our Government
would be dishonored if it descended
to subterfuge or evasion to escape the
consequences of its own apathy and
inaction hitherto. It is true, that the
unanimous voices of our national
legislators have pledged this Govern?
ment to sustain the Liberal cause; it
is true, that the sentiment of our
people is in earnest sympathy with
Juarez; nevertheless, if it is deter?
mined that the pledge shall not be
redeemed, let it be so stated, without
" prevarication and without chance of
being misunderstood. If the Mexi?
can patriots are to be deserted, let
them know it at once. They have
been fed with promises and beguiled
with hopes too long already. The
last Congress was very demonstrative
and enthusiastic in expressing its
sentiment upon the subject, and from
the intensity of feeling thus exhibited,
the J naris ts had every reason to rely
upon our practical aid at the first
opportunity. Buoyed with the hope
thus forced upon them, they con?
tinued the struggle that they might
otherwise have abandoned. Let us
not betray them further with an ignis
\futans. This Government is the
arbiter of their destinies, and they
deserve better from us than to be held
in suspense, when their nationality,
their liberty, everything dear to pa?
triots, depend upon the judgment we
shall render. Whatever may be the
decision, give it utterance, and let us
stand before the world without a mask,
whether as friend or foe.
