Admission of Tennessee.
'Washington, July 24.?The President has
-rjignod the Joiut Besolution admitting Tennessee,
but saya'tbat tho preamble consists of statements,
: some of which are assumed. While the resolu
tion is merely a declaration of opinion, it com
prises no legislation, nor doea it confer any powor
-which is binding upon the respective Houses, the
Executive or tho State.
He further says that the right of each House,
under the Constitution, to jndgo of tho qualifica
tions of its own members, is undoubted; aud that
hia approval or disapproval of the resolution
could not in tho slightest degree increase or
diminish tho authority, in thia respect, conferred

-desiring to remove every cause of further delay,
whethor roal or imaginary, on the part of Con
gress, to tho admission of tho loyal Senators and
Representativo:? from Tennessee?notwithstand
ing the anomalous character of the proceedings?
ho affixes his signature to tho resolution. At the
samo time his approval is not to be construed ae
an acknowledgment that Congress haa the right
Jto pass laws preliminary to the admission of Re
presentatives from any of the States. Nor is it
to be considered as committing him to all the
atatementa of the preamble, oonio of which are
.without foundation. Among them, he states
-?that there is reason to behove that the Tonnoaaeo
Legislature baa not ratified the late amendment
passed by Congress.

lowing:
We had an interview last evening with Mr.
Arthur McOaig, who yesterday morning, while
going with his brother-in-law, Mr. QMiland, to
the lattor'e placo on Little Tybee, with a boat,
was hailed by six United States soldiers, in tbe
marsh between South Channel and Tybee. They
were out of food aud water, in a suffering condi
tion, and as an act of mercy, Mr. Mcuu.ii? and Mr.
Oilliland set them acr?sB to Wilmington Island,
wbore they now aro. They stated that they had
left Tybee in the morning and had swam Laza
retto Creek. They also saw, but did not remove,
some twenty on Decent Ia'.aid, a part of Tyboe,
and about a duzen on tho mud fiat. Some of the
soldiers communicated with i. ta tod that two who
had started with them had been left on the marsh
to die, having been taken with crumps. Measures
will promptly be takon to prevent any who havo
left the island from oominv* to town.

On Sunday last, when the great war nows was
reooived from Europe, tho Herald ieaued an oxtra,
which came out at 11 o'clock, and six of the nowa
boya who were selling said extra wore arrested by
a Captain of Police, in the Fifteenth Precinct.
Bennett is of opinion that said Captain carried
hie religious scruples rather too far, and also car
ried the nowaboys too far in taking them to tho
station houso, whore they had no doaire to go,
wherefore the great newspaper man has brought
a suit against tho religions Captain, who will
probably be made to sweat even more than he
must necessarily perapire In thia hot weather.
There waa a feaat of danoing and a flow of beer
yesterday at Jones' Wood, whore tho German
oabinot-makera aasembled to celebrate their an

two hundred members, and as all of them are
first-class cabinet-makers, they ahould send a com

general smash-up in the "Cabinet."
The knights of the cae held a meeting yester

New Yobk, July 20.?Everything must have an

end to pain, an end to sorrow and an end to joy.
The war oven came to an end, and there is.no toll
ing bat that we may ono day boo the laat retiring
coat-tails of the Freodoion'a Bureau. Tho heated
apell we have endured horo has provon no excep
tion to the ralo?the hot weather haa been driven
away effectually by tho thrioo bloaaed thunder
storm that came to our roliof on Wedneaday.
Taking duo advantage of the moat agreoable
chango in tho weather, people esjoyod themselves
yesterday to thoir heart's content, and crowdod
tho thoatres last night. Fivo thousand lovers of
tho turf turned out yesterday, and turned into
the enclosure at Fashion Oourae, to witness, en
joy, lose and win groenbaoka on the great trial
for three thousand dollars between Dexter, Gen
eral Butler, and Toronto Chief. Doxter waa tho
winner ia throe straight heats, made in tho un
precedented time of 2.24.}, 2.19, 2.22, beating the
famous boats of 1'lora Temple, in the great con
teat with George Bf. Patchen, m ado in 2 21, 2.24,
2.21 J. The shortest time made (2.19) has never
been beat?n or equalled, except by Doxter himself,
last summer, ia his trial against timo, when be
made hia mile in 2.181-5. It must be borno in
miad, however, that these races were under the
siidd'e, and that, in harness, Flora Tomplo's timo
hsB not boon equalled.
Damo Rumor reports?and the Heraldpnblishea
tho reoort?that one of our worthy City Fathers,
who had made his pilo by successful oporations
in the gold room, till said pile amounted to forty
thousand dollars, has rocontly lost it all again at
an innocont litllo gamo called faro. It ia also
whisporod about that a well known politician and
nowspapor man of this city did, on ono ovoniug
last week, engage tho tiger caged in John Hb_

Joun Morrissey's miiBOUm is located in Twcnty
fourth-streot, opposito tho Fifth Avenuo Hotel ;

wines ; and here, after you havo lost at tho little
table at tho oxtrome end of the room, enough to
pay oven for a dozen such suppers, you sit and
partako, determined, at any rato, to get some
thing for your money. Tho apparent nonchalance
with whioh many of tho players would tako from
tho pockets a couploof bills of the denomination
of five hundred dollars (as though they woro
shinplaalors for car ohango), invest thorn in a
couplo of stacks of chocks? fwonty in oaoh?and
then lose the chooks in a most refreshingly short
space of timo, did much amaze your oorrospon
dont. If any gentleman** has an inconveniently
largo snpply of groonbacks, and dosires to be re
lieved thereof in a manner at once oxpoditioue
and stylish, he can choose no botter place for tho
performance of the operation than John Morris -
hey'h museum.
No inconsiderable degree of alarm has been
caused by tho sudden, the rapid, and the unex
pected increaao in the numbor of obolera canes of
late. Yesterday eleven new oases were reported,
out of which six have proved fatal. Great fears
are entertained that this dread diseaso may yet
assume the form of an epidemio, and the Health
Board are aotively employod in taking all possible
precautionary measures for the prevention there
of.
The Morohants' Expresa Company have pur
chased Taylob's down town saloon for $450,000,
intending to oonvert this famous restaurant into
an expresa office. Tbey have, however, already
rogretting tho offer, made propositions for a re
lease from the purchase by the payment of a cer
tain amount.
The society for the prevention of cruelty to an?
mala is really a most humane and useful associa
tion, and its President, Mr. Henry Bebob, is un
doubtedly a benefactor of animal-kind. Yester
day afternoon Mr. Beech entered a complaint
against an inhuman driver of o*no of tho ?eventb
Avenue Railroad oars, who was driving in a
crowded oar a poor lame horse, with a running
sore upon one of its logs. A warrant haB boon
issued for the arrest of tho bipedal beast, and it
is to bo hoped that the wrongs and suffer nga of
the poor old horse may not pass unavenged.
During the storm which, swept over the city on
Wednesday, and which the people here insist upon
denominating "a tornado," Lowe's haloon was
high in tho air, and in it wore Harry Leslie, tho
gymnast and tight rope man, pretty little Maoqie
Mitchell, tho actress, and an old ladv, a relativo
of Maggie's. When the storm aros o Leslie gave
the signal to haul in the oable, and tho baloon was
pulled down in safety. The tight rope man testi
fies that no one was scared but the aged lady, and
remarks that Miss MiTcnELL is a trump. Had the
cabio parted there is no tolling but that all of
them would have proved an exception to the prin
cipie contained in the preamble to the child's
conundrum about tho egg, that "what goes up
must como dowD," or at least tbey would havo
como down in parts unknown.
Sinco tho change in the weather the theatres
havo boon doing a much botter business; the per
formances, however, are commonplace, and so we
must bide our time and ?wait tho appoarancc of
Adelaide Riston and Edwin Booth.

Ovcrtou, waa found in Knoxvillu, and speedily
brought to tho House. Tbo others had fled,
vowing armed resist anco should any attempt bo
made to arrest them.
Two deputy uerg?aut-at-RrmB got on tho track
of one of tbo fugitivo legislature, and followed
him to his homo fourteen miles beyond Carter's
St ttion. About midnight they reached tho house,
ami loudly knocked at tho door. Tbu unsuspici
ous victim, whoso name was William?, protruded
Inn hor.d to ask what was wanted, whoti ho was
pouueed upon, clothed, or unclothed in his night
shirt, in spite of the howls of his aroused family,
and tho tears of his better-halt, and compelled to
mount a mulo and Bet off through tho dark. Wil
liams was long, and lank, and venomous, and the
ridiculousness or the affair w ?a increaaod by his
refusal to put on hia uumentionabloa until they
?vero drawn over his loga by a modost deputy. It
soome that a body guard of guerillaB were to
have boen collected tho next niorniiu*, but the
sudden pursuit and capture beadod this off, and
prevented armed resistance to arrest. Still, as
the neighborhood was intensely rebt 1, the captors
forced tho hard-riding mulo to show off her beat
paces, keeping time to the grunts, grumbles and
r ?pnmrions oat lu, of the representative of a slum
bering constituency.
The next morning Mr. Williame, lankor than
usual, tired, unwashed, and inteneoly indignant,
appeared at tbo bar of tho House, whore ho was
greeted with an universal grin. When hia name
waa callod, ho roso and refueod to answer, saying
he was under arrest; that he had been seized in
tho dead of night by two men, "one of whom waa
a d-d niggor," and carried off on a spavined old
mule; and, in tho namo of his outraged constitu
ency, he domanded an immediate investigation.
Tho Houso "investigated" him by entering hia
name on the roll as "present," and ordoring the
Sorgoaut-at-Arms to keep a sharp eye upon him.
At last accounts, tho deputies were close after
other fugacious members, with a fair prospect of
obtaining a full House shortly, wbilo Bopreeenta
tivo Williams was "chewing tho end of ewcot and
bitter fancies," and meditating, no doubt, tha
direst form of rovengo, particularly upon that
"nigger."
