To tho Honorable Congressional Committee on
Reconstruction: ,
The undersigned, constituting a large ma
jority, of theSfcjte Central Committee of the
Union, party qf Tenneee, ' being' all' who
could be present, beg leave to communicate
to you their, views of the present political
and social cbridltionlof their State, jmd their
anticipations as to future results from that
condition.
Tho vast powers conferred upon you, so
vitally affecting ourselves and our posterity,
we-feel to be a sufficient warrant for this;
liberty on our part.
Our statistics show that in the sDrinc of

of treason that swept the State and carried
it into the vortei of rebellion. They con-
stitutcd less, than one-third of the Voting
population of the' State, arid iar lesar of it3
wealth and political inUucnce. J3o.r?6un3d
on all sides by rebel population ; suflering
every conceivable outrage in person anq
property; hanged on the gallows; shot bv
an infuriate soldiery ; cast into many prisons
nicrcilessly conscripted and hunted like
wild-leasti arid murdered in' our places" of
concealment; our numbers have been re
duced but the survivors of us have kept thb
tows made upon the altar oC patriotism five
years ago. More than twenty-five thousand
of our numbers leaving their homes and
jfamiliesto bo pillaged and, abused travel
ing through mountains or swamps uy-nignt,
and liiding in thickets by day to evade a pur
suing and murderous enemy, escaped tolthc
Federal lines, and without bounty or other
inducements, enrolled themselves as Union
soldiers'. They have returned to their
homes from a gallant and bloody service., to
find, in many instances, their houses in ashes,
their property gone, and their families
abused, insulted and outraged. And it must
be ddded thac in ;many , instances thesp vic
torious heroes br tlie national cause arc not
permitted to remain at their homes in peace,
or, if .permitted, thcy;arc crippled in busi
ness and politically and socially outlawed.
The designs of the great secession majority
of Tennessee may have been changed by
the events of ,the war, and so may haye
been, their opinions, of iheir own' strength
and' of the strength o the Governmentbut
unless your; memorialists greatly misunder
stand tiiem, their sentiments, sympathies
and passions .remain unchanged. Tlifcy
welcome neacc because thev are disabled
from making war; they submit because they
can no longer resist ; they accept results
they cannot reject, arid profes3 loyalty be
cause they have a halter around their necks.
They recognize the abolition of slavery be
cause they see it before them as a fact, but
they say it was accomplished by gros. viola
tions of the Constitutionthat the negro is
free only in fact, but not in law or of rigjit,
Less than a year ago the Provisional Gov
ernor, representing the military power of
the President, and recognising the right; of
the loyal people to govern the State, set 'on
foot a civil government, founded upon the
basis of the loyal population his favorite
policy. The plan of a popular convention
and a submission to a popular vote of the
loyal people was adopted, and the former
Constitution and laws were restored without
the institution of .slavery. Whether we 'rc-
.tmrd it as our former State Government ,re-
storcu, or a3 a new uovermncnt given ta u
by the power of the nation is immaterial, as
it has been compelled. at, every step to lean
upon the strong arm of the national anthor-
; . r rni,- nn;n f 4l,A mnitiin.
tion was submitted to the votes of the loyal
people and by means of the strong will of
the Military Uovernor anu a rigm test oain,
and because the election was not 'recognized
by the disloyal, it was nearly unanimously
adopted, securing over 20,000 votes, many
of the Union men being in the rebel lines
at the time.
Under theGovcrnment thus adopted, and by
means of the same test oath, a Governor and
Legislature were elected, by a general ticket
on the 3a oi jiarcn last, xne .L.egisi.nurc
assembled in April, and proceeded to in-.
aucurate the Governor elect, and to elect,
State officers, to establish a revenue, to pro
vide for the election ol members ot Con
gress, and to legislate in general matters:
Under authority conierrca upon mm, me
new uovernor appointeu a juaiciary pro
tempore, and reorganized the entire State by
appointment. But one general election has
been ncia, anu mat oniy ior racmuers oi
Congress, with what result will appear here
after. The Convention of- February, foreseeing
the impossibility of carryinK out the" prin
ciple upon which they are acting, by keep
ing tne pojmcai power oi me oiaie in ioy;u
hrnds, ;if all those who had by acts or treas
on forfeited their jights, were permitted to
participate irt the State Government, pro
vided for a formal disfranchisement by- con
ferring -upon the first Legislature the power
to limit tlie elective franchise.
So far. the legislation on this subject has
been unsatisfactory and .in effectual. Indeed
many of the bicrdber are Utterly unequal
to the task, and yielding to the influence,
and dreading the power of numbers, shrink
from its performance. A Buffrace law was
passed at the spring session, the result of
compromise. ana .aououiu in ",psv lenns,
easily evaded and practically defective.
IJy means ot repeatcu proclamations uy me
Rnvtmnr. telcsrraDhio orders from the Pre
sident, and the aid of the military, a partial
execution, only, of the laws was obtained.
So defective w"a the execution of, the law,
by the officers' to whom it was entrusted,
that the Governor was constrained to declare
tho-August election totally .void in twenty
nine counties of the State. An attempt will
lie made at the present session to jiass an
amended (suffrage law, but it is doubtful
whpther am- effectual disfranchiseirfcnt can
pass, and still more doubtful whether, if
passed, it cau be executed, even with the
presence of the military ; certainly, sticli a
law cannot bo executed if the-supervising
power of the General Government should be
discontinued. In short, your memorialists
anticipate that, at the first general clection;
the entire civil and judicial power of the
State must.iSa.'.into the hands of thde who
have so long oppressed them. The judicial
election, which is the most important ot an
must soon occur.

ing houses, while the loyal minister li in

But he will hardly go into the social circle
to learn that the Union man is net admitted
into society or into private families; to find
that hatred of the "Yankee," and contcraut
for the Government, are inculcated by rebel
ministers and teachers; nor will ho visit tha
township election to learn that the bush
whacker and guerrilla; can defeat the most
respectable Union man for constable or jus
tice of the peace;, or to the courts, to learn
that the despised "Lincolnite" fails to get
justice at the hands of a rebel jury, and that
the putting of a negro on trial is equivalent
io liis conviction 'and 'sentence. to the maxi
mum penalty of the 'law. Yet these and
many other manifestations betray to the res
ident observer thd ' maligtranb ternper'of the
majority of the people.
A party exists in-tlio State which is every
day growing 'more and" more compact tind
powerful, which sympathizes with the men
and principles of the rebellion. It com
mands every 'agency to operate on public
opinion. It has five well sustained and ably
edited papers in Memphis, fonr in. Nash
ville, ,onc in Knoxville, and a weekly in
each of the" Tinporlant'- villagei. Theirtpar
3ened, but talented arid still popnlar leaders
are with them ; hundreds of rebel ministers,,
who glory in haying.led offjhe rebellion,,
and whe have been Uironghmif the''war the
bloodiest minded men in the South, are still
in the confidence of the people. All these;
appliances, acting in harmony, mould pub
lic sentiments as they please, and command
a party of over" two-thirds of the whito feien
of the State. Free froni restrictions upon
suffrage, they will probably cast ninety
thousand 'votes in'the State - i
It is a sad delusion and a dangerous mis
take to suppose that, this" hatred of loyalty,
contempt for the negro, aud alienation from
the Government, are confined to the politi
cians or leaders, as they are terrhed, and that
the common ;pcoplq have beoji all the time i
loyal, ft is certainly true that i 6rti6n' of
the Southern peopleVwent into the rebellion
reluctantly, and' that, a few were actually
forced into it, but it is equally true that nine
tcntha of those who went in reluctantly came
out the bitterest of rebels. The process of
firinsr the Southern heart, and of educatimr
thc'Sinithern' mind Tor treason,. MJ been !
progressing for many years, and had reached
all classes. Long beforo the war, the, common-laborer
had learned to curse the Yan
kees and Abolitionists, and to talk about
negro equality and hia rights in tlw Territe- ;
ries. Filled with murderous hate, they haye
fought four years against their conntry ,
They have denounced,, and hcSrd it' de
nounced with every breath. They have'
suffered cold, bungei1 and wounds in an'
effort to destroy it.. They have slain, U3
defenders, and seen their comrades fijll
in the panie cause., Tile laws of human
nature forbid the idea that they love their
country. Indeed, it may yell be doubted
whether the capacity for patriotism is not
extincuished in many of them. Ypur mc-
juorialists regret to say that tis yet the loyal
ists of tat Tennessee, brave ana noble as
they arc, have not kept pace with the spirit
of the nation in extending civil righU'to the
negro, and consequently there exuts a want
of harmony among ourselves, but they do
not doubt that that patriotic and rural peo
ple will eoon tako a position worthy of their
lame, nut in .any event, an legislation
looking to the elevation of the frecdraen in
a moral, civil, or political 'point of view,
must come from Congress and not from the
State Legislature. It may be that the pres
ent body may pass some favorablo laws,
probably they will, but it is easy to see lhaf
they will be swejt away by the next Gene
ral Assembly.
Supposing the supervising power of the
General Government withdrawn from Ten
nessee, and assuming that, to some extent at
least, the passions, prejudices, and resent
ments of the majority of the people will be
reflected in their legislation; it is difficult to
anticipate the true policy and the character
of the civil and judicial administration
wluuU will jirevail. It .may be afely -assumed
:
First. That so far as possible, in Legisla-
lation and the bestowal of patronage, and the
management of all public affairs, the" late
rebels will be the preferred classj and that
all the acta of the rebel State government,
including the removal and destruction of the
State banks and State Treasury, the disarm
ing and conscripting the people and tne im
pressment of their property, and all the acts
of rebel officers, soldiers, and guerrillas,
will be legalized. Those who have been
robbed, wounded, and imprisoned, will go
unredressed, while thoee who have inflicted
those injuries 'will be justified in law as they
now are in public sentiments.
Second. As is even tiow the case-in many
localities, services rendered arid wounds re
ceived in the Confederate cause will be pas3
ports to preferment, while to have taken
Bides with the cause of the -Union will bo
equivalent to a judgment of infamy, forever
consigning the offender to obscurity and dis-
Third, it tlie legislature uocs not vote
thanks and medaLs to Southern heroes, and
unite with other Southern States to pay the
Confederate debt, it will be from fear of pol
icy, and not from want ot sympathy or de
sire.
Fourthl As- far as' possible, restrictions
will lie thrown around the negro, and his
elevation in he scale of being dL-coun-lenanced
; if not actually prohibited ; he
will be cxecluded .f'om tlie. courts,, from,
common school j-and probably front all
means of education from business and
privileged occupation 'and perhaps from
the acquisition'of property.
Such, we apprehend, will be some of the
results of well known Jaws of the public
mind, and it requires but little speculation
to anticipate still further and more ulterior
results. It is very questionable whether
East Tcnncjfteo will submit U a rebel gov
ernment Tier people will never tamely
Biiccomb to those who havd pursued them
like bloodhounds for four ycare. If she
docs not resist by force bIic will refuse her
revalues, and scorn to end her ltepresenta
tives to take peats in the Legislature com
posed of rebel officers and guerrilla leaders1
Union men will feel that they have lost and
therebclB won ;' and that their martyrs have
fallen in vain. "Even now, In many locali

HorirAnilrew Johnson, President or thcUnikd
IStates.
Sir The undersigned Central Committee
of the Union party of Tennessee, deem the
E resent time opportune for addressing- you
riefly, in reference to subjects 1 of' vital" in-
teresttoui and to the friends of frea gov
ernment and huraarijliberty everywhere.
In presuming to address you, we do not
suppose that you have been inattentive to
the progress of events here, or that you arc
entirely unapprised of the present situa
tion. Your active championship of the
Union, cause inTennessee, at a perioD. when
that causa had few advocates among the
prominent men of our State ; your adminisi
t ration a3 Military Govifcior, meeting as it
did, the approbation of loyal men, aiid tho
earnest solicitude which you have mani
fested as Chief Magistrate of the nation,
preclude all possibility that you could bo a
careless or inattentive observer of the course
and tendency. iof events in your State, of
Tennessee. ,
Believing niqreover that you will gladly 1
avail yourself of all rcliablo source of in
formation, and sustaining, a$ we do, in some '
sense, a representative relation, to the Union
party of Tennessee, with facilities for ascer
taining tho true condition of public senti
ment,' we have felt it'onr doty to. lay before!
you the result of our, observations.
You arc. of course, aware that a verv
largo proportion of the citizens of Tennes
see were, either at the inception, or during
its progress, identified with the recent re-
bellion. Through.! the influence of bad.
men whomi they had, been accustomed to
regard as leaders, they were induced to em
bark in the fatal enteqirise which has cn-j
tailed upon tho country mi much of wretch
edness and woe. .
By the devotion pf our loyal people to thq
sacred cause of free government, the gallant
ry of our commanders, and the wise ndmiiij.
istration of our national affairs, (Under tht
blessings of Providence the Onion was
maintained in. its- jntegnty, and the rebel
lion was .overthrown.
Armed opposition to the govcronKnthav
ing now' ceased, tho permanent object pf all
good -men, should now be to restore fra
ternal feeling throughout thd country, and
to extend to the masses who Have lapkctt intp
rebellion, 'so soon na practicable; the .blessing
of civil government, with, the restoration of
such political privileges . as m'av be compati-
i.i' i.i. .i A ' . S. 'l
irnj wiiii (ucpccuriiy oi me governmeni, ana
the maintcnance.of the plighted faith" of the
nation; . ,
Obvibusly, the1 difficulties of utatesmanihip
at the preient, .time, consists largely in, deter
mining the real temper and disposftfon of the
masses of our people who have been engaged
in the rebellion, arid' it is in reference to this
pcintthatwedesira 'mainly to speak.
The difficulties attending the orrramzaticn
of our present State government, are familijir
to you, for we do- not forset that it was main
ly owing to your earnest and patriotic efforts
that it was inaugurated,
to argue any
government,
tion," or simply a " restoration " of a gov
ernment whose functions hail been SUspchdpd
by violence and treason. The convention
which asseriibled in this city in January la.t,
proposed certain amendment to our organic
law. These amendments were adopted by
the jicople,, the vote, therefor, being almost
unanimous, bo far as any expression by the
loyal people was' practicable. Under this
Constitution, as- amended, the machinery of
the government was put in operation, taking
for its guide the Constitution and laws in ex
istence prior to' tho rebellion, except as the
former was amended, as above stated, and
assuming all the obligations of the; State in
currcu.befbre the war.
Bv virtue of the schedule adopted bv tho
people, the Legislature which; assembled in
V . i 1 . i' 1 t.fl.
tipm last, cnacicu a iranciiisc iaiv, wuicii
was intended to exclude disloyal persons
from the poILs and thus prevent the enemies
of our national government from controlling
thejioliticai action of lennessce. litis law,
however, partly from its want of perspi
cuity, and toiilj 1..... -f l hn-u
charged with its execution were unfriendly
to its object, was in many counties practi
cally disregarded, and the loyal people of
the "State have new little hope that its en
forcement can prevent the political organi
zation of the State, from passing, at no dis
tant day, into the hands of those who have
been in active sympathy with thu rebellion.
An effort will, it is understood, be made
during the present session, so to amend it as
to make it more efficient,, but grave doubts
are felt as to whether the present Legislature
will pass any law which will prevent the
political ascendancy of the rebels in Tennes
see. The returned rebel soldiers', and thoc
who afliliale' wilh them, openly boast that
at the next general elections they will ob
tain entire control ol the Mate uovcrnmcnt.
Indeed, it is now the case in many counties,
that those who havo been most notorious for
their adrocacy and support of rebellion) are
the first to receive the support of tho people
for office. Service in the rebel army ii, in
many parts of the Slate, the best passport to
position and power, while to have been con-,
nccted with the Union army, is regarded arf
affixing a stigma, "deeper and more indelible
than the brand uiKm the brow of Cain."
Under the appointing power, as exorcised
by Governor Brownlow, wo now have a loyal
Judiciary; yet all their powcrand influence
cannot prevent rebel juries from practising
the grossest injustice toward Icyal men.
while it w almost impossible Vt bring rebel
offenders to justice. Should tile Judiciary
of our State fall into rebel control, sad in
deed will be the condition of thoc who.
trusting to the nation's faith, havo breasted
the storm of treason here. In a social
and' business point of view, Union men and
Union families arc proscribed and insulted.
We mention theses points, simply to show
the spirit which still actuates those who'
havebcen engaged in rebellion, and to Indi
cate the policy which, they will pursue, if, as
they anticipate, and we fear, thoy slioulil be
restored to power in Tennessee. They now
submit to the national authority, simply be
cause they can no longer resist it . they "ac
cept the situation," for the reason thathhey
cannot avoid it ; they acknowledge thcr de
feat, but glory in tlie Ktubboriincis with
which they resisted; they resign their fioes
of the Confederacy, but maintain the justice
of their cause
With.fliem, language is inadequate to ex
press the scorn and contempt which! they
feel and cherish toward Tcnnesseans who, a
they allege; betraved Southern honor and
Southern independence by joining the hmks
of thy oppressor.
Their protestations of loyalty are bcer
hypocrisy a mailc assumed" for an pbjkt, to
be thrown off when that object i accom
plished. In the Opinion of some, tho Class
es, of thc'comtnon people, who were misled,
and bctrayedfbymagogucs into rebellion,
have, in sincerity and truth, returned to
their1 allegiance to the government of their
fatheri Wo do not say that the masses arc
not honest and patriotic according to their
convictions, but their conviction were form
ed under" the false1- teachings of tho-ip who
Mliiedted tlie Southcm mind, and fired the
Southern heart-lor rebellion. Those; falsft
teachers still di-ect public sentiment. Rebel

common people who havo less reason for
practicing dbwimnlation,, and who are less
influenced by motives of policy, that, we
find the most unequivocal exproston of
deep-seated hostility to thaGovernmcnt and
the friends of the Government.

For the information ot parties interested
in the matter, we publish the following let
ter just received by a gentbjman in'thia city:

Dk-vr Sin : ,No bureaux of
immigration for Mexico have been estab
lished bore; therefore, parties wishing to
go to Mexico have to do bo at their own ex
pense. Tho shortest way is, by Havana,
either from this city or New York. Wo
have as yet no steamers running from hero
to Vera Cruz. Let me suggest to you, and
tho other friend of Gov. Isliam G. Harris,
that, as wo have no direct communication
between this city and Mexico, an A oven
tho with Havana are very irregulaTj all
letters directed to him had. better be mailed
from New York. There is from that city a
semi-monthly mail to Mexico. Prom here
your letters, have to wait sometimes very
long beforo I have a chance to dispatch
them. Very respectfully, etc.

Children X'cct.
From Hall's Jouni! of Health.
i - Lifelong discomfort, disease and sudden
death, often come to children through the in
attention, ignorance, of carolessneiis of tho
parents. A child abould nercr bo allowed
to go to sleep with cold feet; tho thing to bo
laxt attended to, in putting d child to bed.
should be to see that tho feet arc dry and
warm; neglect of this hxt often rcaul ted in
a dangerous attack of croup, diplhuria, or
fatal sore throat.
Always, on coming from self Sol, on enter
ing th house from a visit or WTaad in rainy,
muddy or thawy weather, the child's, shoes
should bo removed, and the itiother should
herself ascertain if the stockings aro tho
least damp; andif bo, should' rwiuiro them
to be taken oil, the feet held bclore the fire
and rubbed with tlie hand until perfectly dry,
and another pair or stockings put on, and an
other paircf shoes, while the thcr stocking
and shoes should be placed where they can
be well dried, bo as to bo ready for future use
at a moment's notice.
There are children not ten years of age,
suflering with corns from too Close fitting
shoes 1 by the parent having been tempted
to "take"' them because a. few ccnU were de
ducted from tho price, while the cbild'it foot
is conntantly growing. A shoo large enough
with thin stockings, is. too small on Hie ap
proach of cold weather and thicker luxe, but
the consideration tliat they are only half
worn is sufficient sometimes to require them
(9 be worn, with, a result of a corn, which la
to be more or -les of a trouble for fifty years,
perhaps ; and all this to savo the price of a
pair of half worn shoes! No child should
be fitted with shoes without putting on two
pair of thick woolen stockiagsand the shoe
should go on moderately easy; even over
thcse. Have broad heels, and Jcs than half
an inch in thickness.
Tight shoes inevitably arrest the free cir
culation of the blood arid hervoia influences
through the feet, and directly tend to cause
cold feet ; and health, with' habitual cold
fceL. is an impossibility. "
That parent is guilty of -a criminal neg
ligence who does not alrays sec to.it that
each child enters the chor.-hacd schoolhouse
doer with feet comfortably dry and warm.
' Grown persons with very limited intelligence
know that, a to thcnwelvc damp feet en
danger health and life however robust t
much more so must it be' to the tender con
stitution of a growing child,
I have never known a shoemaker, whether
fa sending home a pair Of n?w shoes or old
ones repaired, to fail. leaving Several pegs or
iron nails to project through the sole on the
iiuidc. Ilia result lsf that often in a single
ilavy the. excitement, of play preventing a
child from noticing; nny discomfort, the
stockings are cut through' in several places
