i: \DICAL, MALIGNITY IN TENNESSEE.
Our readers have, doubtless, observed with
1 interest the great struggle iu. Tennessee be-
; tween the radical and conservative parlies
j upon the suffrage question. It is now an-
“I have passed through nearly every por- nollnced t i ial n, e illiquiloU8 act to limU Uie
tion of this-State (Georgia) and take pleasure I H
in stating that it is not only a healthy and
productive country, but the inhabitants are
generally industrious, thrifty and hospitable,
despite the effects of the war. With great
mineral resources, a motive power in the
middle and northern sections of the State
which cannot be exhausted, and a climate
which is a happy medium between the rigors
of the North-and the enervating heat of the , f . . , ... „ ,.
extreme South, it must become the maun- \ 1 been said justly that eternal infamy will
cling around the names of those who have
thus trampled upon thc rights of the people
elective franchise in that State, which lias
caused so much excitemeut in the Legisla
ture, was finally passed iu the Senate a few
days since. It disfranchises nine-tenths Of
the people of the State, and is one of the
most reckless and uf|>rincipled outrages ever
perpetiated upon the liberties of a people.
Thb-Cotton Cbop W fflteKOiA.—For several days
past, says the Atlanta Intelligencer, we have been
engaged in calleffinff all the Information wspossibly
could relative to |&e prospect* of the present grow
ing cotton crop In our State. From all onr sonreas
of information, the conclusion has forced itself upon
ns, t|pt the result of this year’s planting will prove
to be a most unproUtable one for onr praters. The
crop will tnm out to .be an exceedingly short one,
if the halt that has been reported to ns be true—
which is, that most of the seed planted has proved
to be imperfect—the plant itself, after its appear
ance above ground, almost invariably failing to take
root and sustain its growth. On very many plants*
tions there win be enUra failure; on others, only
partial, some greater, some less. This' with the ex
periment of free-labor now being tried in the State,
warrants, we think, the conclusion to which we
have come, that the cotton crop of Georgia will be
an exceedingly small one.
The Jurisdiction of Courts Martial.
A general order hag just been issued from the War
Department in relation to trials by Military Courts
and Commissions, stating that;
Whereas, Some military commanders arc embar
rassed by doubts as to the operations of the proclama
tion ol the President, dated the 2d of April, 1866,
upon trials by court martial for military offences, and
to remove such doubt
It ia ordered by the President, that hereafter when
ever offences are committed by civilians, they are to
be tried where civil tribunals are in existence to try
them. Their cases aTe not authorized to be, and will
not be brought before the military courts martial or
commissions, but will be committed to the proper
civil authorities. - s
Undcrthe sixtieth Article of War, tliis order is not
applicable to camp followers, or to contractors and
others specified in the sixteenth section of the act of
July, 1862, and the first and second sections of the
act of March 2d, 1863. Persons and offences recog
nized by the rules and articles of war, and by tbo acts
of Congress above cited, will be continued to bo tried
and punisbed by military tribunals, as prescribed by
the rules and articles of war and the acts of Congress.
The New Convert.—Stanton the Fierce lias at last
yielded to the pressure of common sense. Late news
by the mails confirm the telegram that he is body
and soul now a supporter of the policy of President
Johnson. Better late than never. No man was a
more bitter hater of the Sonth during the war, and
let us hope that wc shall hiver no truer friend in peace
than Edwin H. Stanton. He was a pillar of strength
to the Radical party, and his former friends growl im
mensely at the defection. The noophyte is to be con
gratulated on the light that has broken in upon him.

This is certainly a favorable estimate of
our State at this time, and evinces a sagacity
and discernment which all who know our
resources and people will readily approve.
It has not only a material but political sig
nificance. . Says the sensible “Hoosier,” the
people are industrious and thrifty, and withal
hospitable to strangers. In other words,
the war has left no bitterness of feeling here
towards honest and industrious immigrants
who come here to settle.
and so ruthlessly defied and set at naught
the spirit of our free institutions.

In relation to the cholera on the steamer England
the American Consul proceeds to state he cannot learn
that there is or has been a single case of cholera in
England, and therefore he coucludes that the disease
was not the result of infection taken from any locality
in England. Newspaper say that eholera is on the
Rhine in some localities in Spain and France, but not
alarmingly prevalent in any of those countries.

manufactures and mineral resources, a lutur
full of promise.
MANUFACTURING AT THE SOUTH.
We were much struck with a statement
published by us yesterday- from the Chicago
Republican, recommending manufacturing
to Southern planters. To this subject our
thoughts have been directed for some time
past.- It is the only' practical solution of the
question of the relative productiveness of
free and slave labor. It is • evident that the
former is not available for any purpose of
cultivating Southern products. Emigration
is not a resource.from climatic considerations, i
The stream of emigration will not be direct
ed to the Southern fields, even under the
strong inducements of cheap farms, and the
prospect of personal independence in a few
years. There must be some superior mo
tives to those presented to the European
ourt while a doubt exists as tq whether martial law
is abrogated or not. I can say, with good authority,
that the President does interpret the peace proclama
tion as abrogating martial law where the rebellion was
declared to have cease'd, in all matters in which civil
courts have jurisdiction. It ia understood that a die-
tatory resolution to that effect will be issued by tli
President iu a day or two.
CONFESSION OF PBOBST.
PniLADELFHiA, May 7.—The Evening Telegraph
publishes the confession of Probat. He confesses
having murdered the ontiro iamiiy. He says after
killing the boy he felt devilish and bloodthirsty, and
going to the house induced each member of the family
to the barn on various pretexts, and there killed
them with ai small* Iflf Miss liololi arrived unex
pectedly with Mr. Beering, and after Probst had en
ticed Mr. Peering to the barn and dispatched him, he
returned and killed Miss Dolen. Ho says he would
•have confessed before, but- feared that be would be
torn to pieces by a mob. ’
The Department of 3tate at Washington has re
ceived information that the first detachment of Aus
trian troops have sailed for Vera Cruz, and that
others will soon follow. The Austrian Minister at
Washington has perfected all his arrangements for
leaving the Capitol, and will depart it is Baid, in about
two weeks, .without waiting for Mr. Seward’s dis
missal. He is understood to act under explicit in.
emigrant, to induce him to encounter the j structions from his own government. Everything
i now looks unfavorable to a peaceable adjustment ol
the Mexican difficulty. ,.-
heat of our climate.
The establishment oi' manufactures seems
to present the only escape from the embar-
rassments-that beset the Southern planter.
He then could offer to the European emigrant
equal inducements to those offered by the
capitalist of the - North-wert by which the
inconveniences of a Southern climate would
be obviated, while he could afford" as ample
remuneration for labor. The article which
has appeared in this paper from the Chicago
Republican, has, no" dqjjbt, beenfwell con-
sidc-red. The calculations are too minute
not to be based on accurate information.
The result of the writer’s estimate shows that
converting the raw material into cloth would
be attended by more than adequate profit.
The fact that the raw material is
“grown at the-door of the factory,” in view
of the circumstance that the expense of trans
portation forms a large element of the value,
is of the utmost importance. ^ It constitutes
the principal argument employed by the pro
tectionists in favor of their doctrine.
The Memphih Riots.—Gen. Btoneman has appointed
Gen. Marcus J. Wright, late of the £. 8. A., President
of a commission, whose business it is to investigate
the late disturbance in Memphis. ; ..
The Case of Maj. Gee.—The correspondent of the
New York Herald, who accompanies Gens. Steedman
and Fullarton, says in the case of Maj- Gee, that ‘‘the
evidence given tends rather to excnlpato than to crim
inate him in the atrocities committed at Salisbury.”
The Lawyer’s Test Oaxb.—We see it stated in an
exchange that Judge Frazier, United States Judge in
Florida, lias decided the lawyer’s test oath constitu
tional. ’ v .' 'i'
The Suppobt of thc Prchtdet.—The Washington
Union announces the gratifying Intelligence that all
thc Democratic papers and twenty-two out of the-for
ty-slx Republican papers in California support the
Presdent’s policy.
Reply of Jfff,-Davis to'a Tendxr of Sympathy
from North Cjbolina.—The following letter appears
in thc Southern papers:

Another important consideration for the ;
tjbuthc-rn planter is the sectional character
of thc legislation about to be adopted by
Congress, by which an excise is to be levied
on the great staple of the South, while fur
ther protection, direct and indirect, by duty
and drawbacks is to be extended to the do
mestic manufacturer.
TAXING PUBLIC SECURITIES,
la thc bill submitted to the 'Senate by the
Chairman of the Committee on Finance,
coneolidatiog the National debt, one of the
clauses of the bill exempts the securities from
taxation, both of the United States and the
State Governments. To this exemption there
will be opposition on the ground that it vio
lates an admitted prirsftple of taxation—
equalizing the public bnrdefas. There are
sufficient reasons for the . exemption on con
siderations both of policy and equity. In
the first place, the saving of interest -will eu-
