The Franchise Bill. Tlio Katihville.' Banner thus expose! the enormities of the Franchise bill, now pending in the Legislature: . The Franchise bill reverses the uni versal presumption of law, that all men accused are innocent until the contrary is proven. It presumes, on the contrary, that b11 men are disloyal and not to.be trusted with the right of suffrage, or to be believed upon oath, except the exempted class of individuals in the bill mentioned. It furthermore empowers the Governor of the State to appoint about eighty-four Commissioners of Registration one for each county in the State with power to administer oaths, etc. These Commis sioners are to receive one hnndred dol lars each to be paid out of the State Treasury and three dollars per day for attending the county courts at their quar terly terms. The books and printed blanks are to be paid for at the expense of the State. Thus, the cost of registra tion of voters may be put down at an expense to the tax-payers of the State, from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. The people who are disfranchised and precluded from holding oBice by the bill are to be taxed eqnally with tne favored class to support and maintain a policy that degrades them, and denies to them the privilege of holding any office or vot ing in any election. The bill requires, in addition to the proof before the Com missioner of two unconditional Union men, as to the loyalty of the applicant for a certificate, that he take an oath that he never did voluntarily aid the late rebellion against the United States. The Commissioner has the power to re quire counter-proof, and refuse the cer tiBcate. It creates, in short, a court to deprive the people of their rights and privileges, unknown to the Constitution ami liwi nf the land: ard no appeal is given to reverse or revise the decision of this court. Its decisions r arourarj and final. The right of trial by jury is taken away. An inquisition is applied to the citizen to make him g'.ve evidence against himself upon oath, in direct vio lation of the Constitution. And no per son can vote in any election in this State, except such as Gov. Brownlow'i. Com missioner mar be pleased to register and give a certificate. No person can hold any office in tho State who cannot take the oath prescribed in the 3d section of the Franchise bill. ' Now, who are to be the Commissioners appointed to register the voters? Are they to be citizens or foreigners? Are they to be white men or negroes ? The bill does not say. Without stopping to inquire whether Gov. Brownlow would appoint good or had men, it cannot be denied that the bill confers upon him the power to appoint either citizens of other States, or negroes, if he should choose to do so. The 7th section of the bill provides that it shall be the duty of the Governor, before any State or other general or spe cial election, to issue his writ of election to commanding officers of regiments, battalions, or detachments of officer and soldiers, who may b in the service of the State, or the United States, wherever located ; and the officers "hall open and hold an election, and nuke returns thereof to the Secretary of State, and such rotes shall be counted, etc This violates the Constitution in this: no man, by the Constitution and laws of the State, can vol- in any cour.ty or p!ae. except the county wherein he ha re aided for six months next preceding: the election. Brit, why the necessity of this 7th section? Have ws any white citi eens of the State in the military service of the State, or of the United States, at this time? Or. is it intended to caafer the right of iiVtge upon the uegrovs of Tennessee who are now in the service of the United States? Thv laiguage of the section is silent as to color. The toregoing are some of the provi sion of the Franchise Bill, which has ccupied so much time in the Iloaae of iLl.lL MEMPHIS; TENNESSEE, FRIDAY . EVENING, MARCH 30, 1SG0. Representatives at an immense cost to the people. It was attempted to force its passage turougn mat oouy, unuer me "previous question," to avoid debate aud amendment If that bill become the law of the land, a large majority of the people of the State are robbed of their liberties and privileges the whole power and control of affairs are lodged in the hands of the few. These are ques tions which ought to interest any mBn who loves a republican form of govern ment, and who desires to leave that form of government to his posterity. We ask the majority in the House of Represen tatives to divest themselves of all passion and prejudice, and calmljr survey the ground J to consider the Bill of liights and the provisions of the Constitution; to study tho principles and theory of our nAA,nmAiif anil tn rpflpct that its child- UU,v.liuw. -" - ren, as well as the children of the rest of us, must live together, and be one people, .ft a. lUIr futlipra hail nnased awav: and surely, after such mature reflection, not one ot them can give nis assent to tuc passage of the trancliise bill. A Bailable Heport. ' A Washington correspondent of the Jackson News furnishes the following report of a conversation with the Presi dent: Mr. Johnson I believe that every one understands my policy except those who won't understand it. Citizen In all great epochs of history, when the Executive is right, the people are orettr sure to support him, as the ex ponent of a clear, well-defined policy, in prolerence to tne uncertain aim uumir factory course of a legislative body. Mr. Johnson Why, what does Congress propose to do ? They have been in ses sion four months, without having accom plished anything. They have no defined policy. , Citizen Certainly, Mr. President, this is no question of privilege at all, thst topic is entirely irrelevant; it is a simple question of policy. ' , Mr. Johnson No one forces them to do anything. . They are simply asked to complete the policv most beneficial to the whoie country. Why do they not take some decided stand. Texas is now or ganizing ber State government, if these gentlemen believe that the South is com posed of subjugated territories, why do they not arrest the organization of Texas as a State. Why do they not oust her gubernatorial officers from their chairs, and declare Texas under Congressional rule- ' . ' , ' Citizen The inconsistency of ac knowledging Mr; Lincoln's Slate organi zation of Louisiana, and the present refusal to receive her Representatives, must strike the common sense of the people with peculiar force. : Mr. Johnson It was the same in Ar kansas, and more so in Tennessee, which had organized a State government even as far back as 1862. . ' Citizen I am acquainted with for eign capitalists anxious to invest money in the South, and only awaiting the suc cess of your policy. Mr. Johnson I feel sure that the South would soon regain her material prosperity, if political difficulties were fully settled. The account of this interview wns given to your correspondent by 'Citi zen " and i the only correct and verba tim report thnt has gone to the country. I may mention that the remark with ref erence to Texas is considered a very strong point, and the most practicul issue which the Radicals have had pre sented to them. The Queen of England in Love. Tendon f!nr. Cincinnati Cnrnmereiul.l ' I had nearly written royal scandal for to tell the plain truth, the taLk that now floats through private society in London is little less. I am pained to say that this gossip involves no less a personage than Queen Victoria. It has for a long time been on people's tongues, but it has appeared at last in the newspapers. It is said that the Queen has tuken a pro digious liking to a very good-looking but "ignoble" Scotchman named Brown, who was formerly a kind of out-door body servant to Prince Albert, and in deed bears a strong resemblance to the Prince. She so doats upon him that she constantly keeps him near her, at s.11 her palace, and in all her journeys to and from tbem. She consults her pet on all subjects, and takes his advice so abso lutely that the rest of the royal house hold have become very jealous of him. The latest story is thnt she is going to Knight him. Marry him she cannot, for the law of the realm forbids her to marry one of her own subjects. It is very disa greeable, nay, it is worse than disagree able, to mention these things of one who, as wife Bnd mother and Queen, hits so high a place in the reverence of the world. . I have refrained from speaking of these stories while they were merely talked of in private, but now they have become so notorious, and are so positively men tioned in English papers, that I can no longer regard them as empty tales. Depraved Tasto. As incidents, illustratingthetimesand their fashion at the French Imperial Court, our readers may be glad, or sorry, to know that, at the late grand fancy ball at theTuilcries, the Count de iS ieu werkerke appeared and danced as 1 on tius Pilate, The Count de Choiseul whose mother, the Duchess or Praslin. was murdered hv hi father, the Puke dressed a old Time, capered after the well-known Countess de Castighone, and, r course, failed to overtake her. But more conspicnons than all was the young Marchioness of Gallifet, as the Archan gel Gabriel. She wore ft short, gold-embroidered petticoat of white cashmere, with glittering gold scale-armour, fitting tight to the shape. Above her long, flowing, golden hair bUzed a diamond star, which literally eeereod to bang un supported in the air. Her wings sn M over her head, and renched to benemh her kneos. A she danced, she brandiiMi ed the word of tl srehmgel in her uuU,nd altogether, perhaps, made the master of the rout look as thoughtful as he is said to have looked. Home Jour- A Kissionary Adventure wits Cannibals. An English missionary, who describes life in New Zealand in the last number of Hovrt t Horn, rolatei an incident that occurred to him on one of the South Pacific islands. While on cruise he touched at a small island for fresh food, fruit and vegetables. Of these he ob tained a full supply, and was about leaT- 1.: .S-r-.lM-TfiJP.-- ' tSBI ' ;" Jr.. ., ,-..,-,,.- .... ,.... LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. ina. when a chief ankeil hiui if he would like some flesh food. Says the mission ary, "thinking that doubtless tuey hail hogs, I said yes. He gave a quick glance around him, as if he were looking for a messenger, and singled out and caiiea to a fine young lad, apparently about eigh teen vears of ane. The bov came and stood before him, and before I knew what he was about to do, and having my back turned to him, looking at the fruit, etc , I heard the sound as ot n heavy oiow, ana looking quickly around found tho still quivering body of the boy laid at my feet, with the words Jievi ano te Kai r its St... fnrA anffintnnl f.ir rin'l ITnrrnr Btricken I denounced most bitterly the deed, and leaving all the provisions be hind on the ground, returned sorrowfully to my ship." Destitute Colored People. It is reported that destitute negoes of all ages and both sexes crowd all the Southern cities. At New Orleans there are 7o,000, and 30,000 ore subsisting on public charity at Washington. The sup port of these unfortunate people, and their return, if possible, to habits of labor, are among the greatest soeial problems'of the day. An appropriation .-f 9S (inn fur the aunnort of the desti tute negroes in the neighborhood of Washington, has just passed the Sen ate. What is above said of Wash ington and New Orleans is true also of smaller towns. Not long since Yorktown and Williamsburg, Va., were crowded with colored fugitives, supported by the Government, when the farmers and mill owner in the adjoining county of Mathews were offering higher wages than white men get for the same work in Del aware, and yet could get uo help from the towns. Phil. Ledger. Out of Temper. An English weekly gives the following paragraph a prominent position: "An American pirate is said to have put to sea under the Fenian colors. She is a lare vessel.and her departure from New York is known to the authorities very well. These pirates will have about as much chance as any other American ves sel manned by Yankee pirates would have. There will be ayard arm for them all, and we trust no Exeter Hall senti mentalist will attempt to weep over their destruction, and bring the captain to dis credit if he does his duty in this ease, as ex-Governor Eyre did in his. If the American Government have allowed this vessel to proceed to sea, knowing her character, the contempt of the whole civilizqd world is her due." You don't snv so ? ...'.' Distribution of Troops. By a report transmitted to Congress, it uppears that on January 9th there were 10.1,030 troops in the service of the United States, of whom 41,744 have since been ordered to be mustered out of service. This is not the whole of the United States army, however, as on January 9th it con sisted of 2G.587 regular; 57,590 white volunteers, and 65,730 colored volunteers-total, 149,943. Of the 103,93b soldiers in the Southern Suites, on Janu arv 9th, the following were the number in'each State: Texas, 29,218; Missouri, 10,890; Tennessee, 10,0fi4 ; Alabama, 10,023; Mississippi, 10,193; Louisiana, 10,153; Arkansas, 8,507; South Carolina, 4,71.8; Virginia, 4,041 ; North Carolina, 3,100; Georgia, 1,003. There were no troops in Maryland, Florida or Kentucky. Northern Priodlcals in Alabama. Alabama does not seem anxious to have Northern literature introduced within her borders. Her Legislature has passed a tax law compelling all news .i u. A n annnnl license fee ot Ufiui-n w " "... ten dollar. It, however, tney sen j newspaper or periodical published out side the limits of the State, they are to be taxed fifty dollars. This law is con ceived in much the same spirit that ani mated a certain Governor of V irginia, who declared to his great joy, that there were no schools within his jurisdiction. A lahnmians who wish Northern journals can evade the law, however, by procur ing tem through the mails. Ihe rost oflice is an institution that the Alabama Legislature cannot tax out of existence. , "America" iu a Ball Boom. At a fancy dress fete, given in Paris, ladies represented the continents ot the world, and, soys a correspondent: "America was certainly the most, effective costume. That immense continent was personated bv the beautiful, delicate looking Miss Carter, who wore a white dress with a sky-blue satin peplum over it. the latter studded all over with silver star. Her coronet was composed of diamond stnrs, doubtless to recall the stars on the United States flag. America was alwnvs followed by another lieaiitilul young girl, very simply drerscd, to per sonate, it was said, but I know not with what truth, a released slave. Important to Widows. We clip the following statement from the Georgia Federal Union : 'W e have good authority for saying that all men over the age of fixty-five, who took no part in the war. nid all widows (at the time General Sherman's army injured their property,) w. II be re-imbursed by the United States ilovernmcnt for dam ages. The assessor is already at work in the neighboring county of Hancock, ascertaining damages, so far as respects the two classes of our people above named. This will be gratifying intelli gence to many of our afflicted and suff ering p-oii!e."N Marriage ot a Hun ia Italy. The Italian papers mention that a mar riage, in accordance with the new civil law and without the intervention of the Church, has just been celebrated at Secli, in Sicily, between ft barrisirr Gnglielmus Caruso, and a nnn of the 'der of SL Theresa, named Maria Pisani, i;nowa a Sister Maria Annum ziata. The parents of the bride not only yn-e their consent but a Jawrvalso. All the principal families of the BeigliWr hood, together with the local authorities, were present at the ceremony. - The Tads or Grkat Bumrs In the year ISoj, the trade of Great Britain was very large. 44,510 veels, with 12. 104,253 tonnage, entered inwards with cargoes from abroad, and 4?,181 vessels, with 12.817,442 tonnage, cleared for out ward voyages. This is an increase over the return for 18C4 of 801,957 ton in ward, and C47.S03 tons outwards. :ti.;i .; Ten iisrsiJiiE LIND8KYttVRK.)KNBlUttIl lOtNfS FOR TUB FOLUlWIKai'iaST-ri.49 cuMPssigs: Home Insurance Company OF NEW YORK.
