anity of the world stood aghast at the
terrible spectacle, butln its sad " and
humiliating lesson learned the true
character of the rebellion and its ad-
rocates.
The editor of the Gazette, In the In
terest of that rebellion, labored for
four years to incite the bitter and re
lentless feeling that culminated in the
Assassination of President Lincoln,
and now, while the patriot hearts of the
Nation, are bleeding tinder tho ter

was Insatiate, he enters the tomb
Liberty's martyred dead, to disturb
resting ashes, and from its mouldering
bones make ornaments as offerings
that insatiate desire. A hody snateher
who, for a price, robs the grave of
acred ashes, has some respect for
opinion of the living. A Ghoul,
lives and fattens npoa the carcass

night, that he may escape the gar.o
men; but the editor of the Gazette,
with a malice, described in the
books as .the evideace of a heart total
ly devoid of social duty and fatally
bent upon mischief, seems to have
respect for the memory of the dead
the feelings and opinions of the living.

to In the'U.S. House of Representa
tives, on Thursday; the discussion on
the Report of the Reconstruction Com
mittee was brought to a close. Many
of the Union members wished to amend
the third section, which provides that
those who v luntarily took part In the
Rebellion shall not exercise the elec
tive franchise until after the year 1870.
Some proposed to insert in lieu thereof
that such men shall not hold office.
Mr. Stevens (Union) called tho pre
vious question.
Mr. Garfield (Union) hoped the pre
vious question would be voted down,
The Honse divided, and the Speaker
counted Yeas, 90; Nays, 59 tho
"Democrats" almost all voting aye,
In order to prevent any amendment of
the joint resolution. Tellers were de
manded, and ordered, tho result being
the same. So the previous question
was seconded. On the question, "Shall
tho main question be put?" the House
voted by yeas and nays, the result bo
ing Yeas. 84 ; Nays, 79.
At this time the galleries were crowd
ed, and as the vote progressed the
greatest Interest and excitement was
manifested by the members, some of
whom stood together In groups dis
cussing the chances, while some were
more actively employed in arguing the
consequences, ana trying to eniorce
their views upon others. The Demo
cratic members, generally, carried out
their policy, which was to prevent any
amendment of the joint resolution.
Mr. Farnsworth (Union) wanted to
know whether, at this stage, 'a motion
to recommit with instructions was in
order. Tho Speaker Informed him that
it was not.
The House then voted on the pas
sage of the joint resolution, and it re
sulted, Yeas. 128; Nays, 37.

THE MEMPHIS BUTCHERIES.
.
On the first- page of this issue we
print pretty full, particulars of the re
cent terrible butchery" of unoffending
blacks, by the " reconstructed" Rebels
of Memphis, Tcnn.
We have read carefully everything
In connection with these atrocities, and
we can discover no other reason for
them but hatred of the blacks and of
the cause to which they were faithful
through the late war. If one of them
was found dressed in the uniform of
his country, it served but to increase
the rage of the beasts who were hunt
ing them down and slaughtering them
like cattle. Even the Teachers in the
Freedmen's Schools ladies of culture
and refinement, who had given up the
comforts of Northern homes to assist
in educating these unfortunate people
had to flee for their lives, to escape
the fury of a brutal mob.
There is no trouble, we say, In dis
covering the animus of tills aiTuir; and
the ' reconstructed" Memphis Rebels
will prompted by a fear of retarding
the work of their reconstruction "
try in vain to make the people of the
North and the Government believe that
It was discountenanced by the better
class of tho peoplo of Memphis. Every
Rebel paper in Memphis excused the
rioters and murderers while engaged
in their bloody woik.
The details are sickening.
The 4th Ro;lmont Regular Cavalry
arrived in Memphis about the close of
tho riots, and has since patrolled the
city.
Gen. Stoneman has organized a com
mission to investigate the cause of the
riots. Gon. Fiske, of the Freedmen's
Bureau, has also gone down from Nash
ville to look into It ; and we are tn
hopes Justice will be done, both to the
poor blacks and their brutal porsecu
tors. ; '
Gen. Fisko has ordered that the col
ored churches and school houses be
Immedintelv rebuilt, and that tho C09t
be levied on tho city.
