The Knoxville correspondent of the
Nashville ‘‘Banner” gets off the fol
lowing good thing on Brownlow :
There are few East Tennesseeans
who do not know John Fleming, of

Negro Suffrage.—If general ne
gro suffrage is to prevail, the negroes
will be in power in several States of
the South, and will have such State
officers as Governor, Judges, Secreta

Trade and Benevolent . Institutions.
The dominant blacks vviU have their
black preachersand teacbersfor church

to resort. The militia officers and the

will be blacks, and in council there will
be Justices of the Peace, Postmasters
and Constables.

Sumner or Mr. Thaddeus Stevens
might call on the President, or at the
Departments, and be obliged to await
their turn, several black Senators or
Representatives being there in advance
of there. On social occasions, the lat
ter would beobliged to follow a black
that ranked him, according taetiquette.
The Congressmen,-black and white,
must sit together, converse- with one
another, and, in fine, do all things with
political equality, and power must pre
cipitate sociality. If such a state of
things will not result in amalgamation,
then all history, philbsbphy and fact

An Amorous Husband in a Fix.
—The Richmond, Wayne county, Tel
egraph, gives the following adventure
of a “respectable married man” of that
city, with a fascinating widow :
A'certain married man of , this city,
a few months ago, became decidedly
enamored of a dashffig young widow,
and set industriously about the task of
accdffcfpiisiring her ruin. Various pro-
while the measured monotone of the
blerk swung through its formal phrases.
There was hope that thelBenate would
recover itself, But when the bill was
passed and Hale endeavored to proceed
with another measure, Chandler (Rep.)
sprang to his feet and yelled and
screamed, £ Mr. President! Mr. Presi
dent !’ It was the fierce voice of an
excited, half-drunken, quarrelsome
man, and might have been heard at the
Speaker’s desk in the other ehd.of the
Capitol. ‘Order !’ ‘Order P cried sev
eral Senators—‘Order!’ ‘Order!’ sharp
ly said the Vice ‘President, pro term,
Senator Clark, as he. brought the little
ivory gavel down upon his desk, ring-
ingly. But the fell spirit /would not
down at such bidding; and Chandler
(Rep.) retorted vociferously that he was
not out of order, but that the Chair was.
‘The Senator will take his seat,’ an
swered the Chair. Chandler (Rep.)
coarsely retorted, ‘You’ve no right, to
order me to my seat, and I won’t take
it!’ and turning to Hale, who sat next
to him, and was urging him to sit down,
he added, ‘No, I’ll be damned if I do !
He’s snubbed me enough, and I won’t
stand it any longer 1’ ‘Take your seat,
sir !’ firmly and forcibly said the Chair.
Eye met eye just then,'there was a ner
vous motion of chairs in all parts df
the chamber, and Chandler (Rep.) sank
into his seat. ‘I deny the right of the
Chair to call the Senator from Michi
gan to order I’ cried Wilkinson, (Rep.)
scarcely less drunk than, Chandler.
‘The Clerk will'read the ‘rtjle,’ 'said the
Chair. So it was read,.and tbe Chair
said, ‘The Senator from Michigan was
out of order, and will hot be allowed
to proceed except by consent of the
Senate.’—Washington Jan. 8.
~ The Soaeiind 4 BUI.
By the homestead bill, Which has passddjthei
Senate of Georgia, the following property of
every debtor is exempt from levy and sale by
•virtue of any legal prdSiR^whatever—nor shall •
any valid lien be created ;
One hundred acres of land, addi
tional acres for every child under TS'y^rs of

donations or rewards for naeritorious services.
The Milledgeville correspondent of the Au
gusta Constitutionalist says the bill met with
much opposition, and barely obtained a ra/jor-
ity of votes in the Senate. It has undergone,
outside the capitol, such discussion both
among the members and other persons,, that
its passage through the House is a matter df
extreme doubt. ,
8&3F The feeling is so strong in Indiana
against negro suffrage that ail- Republican
leaders ‘and members of Congress are obliged
to oppose it. It i3 t admitted^ by Republican
leaders bf the Ohio Legislature, bn the floor of
the House and in public discussion, that ne
gro suffrage will bo beaten by 7 5,()00 votes in
that State.
