Tho New York Trihunt't Washington special says that a resolution, recommending tho early admission of Tennessee, was voted down in the Committee on Reconstruction. The Republican majority in Congress are nt templing to induco tho President to slrn the Freedmen's Bureau Sill, by "saying that they will admit the Tennessee delegation to tholr seats. In the Kentucky Legislature, the committee appointed to examine buildings at Louisvlilo for legislative purposes, reported in favorof removing the capital to that city. A convention of commercial travelers was held at Cleveland the other day. ' They organised a "National Association of Commercial Travel ers," elected officers and adjourned.! Tho suddon advance in rents in .New York was the result, it is said, of a combination of land lords, though attributable in part to the orcr pressure of population. There seems to bo a genoral suspicion in Congressional circles that a good deal of the Mex ican nows rent from Washington is manufactured in the Liberal interest. A New York Commercial special says Influ ential politicians are endeavoring to effect a com promiseton tho " Freedmen's " Bureau bill. Tho bull is that laho President signs thobillltho Ten nessee delegation will be at onco admitted. General Terry Is expected in Washington to give evldonco about Virginia to Thad. Stevens' Star Chamber. Out of such men as Terry they hope to manufacture testimony enough to afford a pretext for oppressing the South still further. Judge Barret, tho Commissioner of Pensions, decided that an old soldier, who rendered service in tho war of 1812, had forfeited his pension for it, bocauso ho took up arms to fight for his section of tho country against the other in a great civil war between them. The Republican party in Connecticut aro at swords' points on the question of whether they will suttaln tho Administration of President John son or not. Their meeting at Hartford, to ap point delegates to tho State Convention, was as discordant as tho Tennessee Legislature. The Paris (Kentucky) dtiten. says: ''Agod broko mules aro in great demand for the South ern market. We itotieo two recent sales, in Boylo county; one, of nine head, at an average of $& j and another, of seventy-nino head, at an av erage of $1 GO." Wendell Phillips, in n speech In the Brook lyn Academy of Muu'c, on Tuesday evening, spoko (if Tretldcnt Johnson as Gen. Leo's " successor." and clssted him with Burr and Arnold, as "a trailer who has failed." These denunciations of tho President wcro loudly applaudod. Hon. L. D. Campbell, roccntly appointed Minister to Mexico, arrived in Washington re cently and had an Intorriow with tho President. Ho visits Washington on private business and will return to Ohio In a few duys, thcro to remain un til the Senate shall have acted on his nomination as Minister to the Mexican Republic In responso to an application received recent ly, Secretary McCuIloch decided thato -general permit can bo granted to importers of M,,,v- mat neuron cargo can be removed lrom avraol, indubitable ovidenco must be produced that tho hides have not been taken from animals that have died from the effect of tho cattle scourge.

A fer weoks ago tho Jotnt Committee on Re! construction decided to summon R. K. Lee before them.

Ho is represented as much changed In appearance, to thosonho saw him in Washington several years div. John Rors, whose claims to the Chieftainship cf the Cherokccs wore Ignored by the Commission recently sent out to form treaties with the hostile Indian tribes, yesterday held a long interview with President Johnson. Ross Is represented ty tho members of the Commission as possessing great wealth, and living in a stylo of clcganca un surpassed by his more eulightcd eastern brethren. His visit to Washington Is believed to bo for the purpose or securing his recognition by the Gov ernment ns Chief of tho Cherokccs. "THE RIGHT WAV AS UXnEURTOOD AT nosTOjr. The loaders, both great and small, of the revolutionary party in the Northern Stales, who on tho floor of tho Federal Congress, and elsewhere, are obstructing the work of pacification, are earning positions in history for themselves which will be far from envia ble. They aro requiring the indefinite ex clusion of oleven or twelve of tho States from their proper and rightful position in tho Union, and the resumption by their jvcople of their civil rights; and advocating the con tinuance of military and pro-consular rule over them. They know that this Bystcm is at direct variance with the genius of our in stitutions, and palpably in contravention of the ruditncntal principles of republicanism. They know, that in effect, it is the dcspotlo rule of a portion of the people of this coun try over another portion, and in princi ple not a whit different from the domination exercised by England, Franco or Russia over one 'of their colonies. They are ever prating of liberty, and proclaim themselves the espe cial champions of republicanism; they as sume to know better than the fathers or any one else, what republicanism is, and have erected a cabal of their worthies into a Court of High Commission, to examine the constitutions of States, and pronounce upon their republican soundness; they are filling the earth with a cry for freedom "as broad and general as the casing air," and yet are denying to their own fellow citixens of the Name lineage and ancestry the simplest priv ileges which 'attach to the character of free citizens. And all this they are doing and proposing to do under tho plea of "neces sity" the ever rc-curring cry and Shibbo leth of tyrants; and on the ground that "the life of the uation" of which they havo as sumed the peculiar guardianship, demands certain "(,aarantecs" which they will pres cribe. , , To sustain this plea and position they are never weary of describing the chaotic condi tion of governmental axEiim in the Southern States, and dfscanting upon the obstinate ami ;MKrrislble disloyalty of lheir people, md ft&V deefHeted dislike to the Union, and eHl!d Union people of asserting the jmimHy af aNortkerR mm or Union wrtlV&g peraitted to live there in peace Wjtr 4fce pwwh f ewtew, wbs the .alHktry power of the foverawctit is at Ui. for hU protection; and of piiBg UKWgktlw coIqesm of a vena! pr,fcle and exaggerated accounta of the ostracism and persecution to which such men are be ing subjected. To oppose their schemes, and to pronounce the reasons which they allege in justification as hypocritical, and their general course as arrantly knavish, is a waste of words. They are bao men having pow er, who mean mischief. Tho cause of just government and the rights of the people can only rely upon the sober sense and lion est intentions of the people themselves, and these must be soon exercised and made man ifest, or the case will become critical. e have been led to these remarks by some advertisements prominently displayed in a paper, called "The Right Way," pub lished in Boston, by one Geo. L.teanis, and gratuitously distributed the fund by means of which this poison is poured over the country being doubtless contributed by the parties in interest of its dLssemlnation. The advertisements of the American Land Agency Company of which Ex-Govprnor Andrew, of Massachusetts is president, with offices in Xcw York and Boston, thus discourses: The Company proposes to interest tho enter prise and money of the country in the opportuni ties and means for their useful and profitable emnlorment afforded bvthe hrniut lanrUnf the Bouth, now open for the first tlmo to free labor. nut wcor e owners onu occupiers aro sunenng lrom tho waste of war.

Now, what an amazing amount of ef frontery and pharasaism is here displayed. The condition of the Southern States as re gards lawful and well-ordered government is so dislocated and abased that a Congress ional Committee must needs put them through a course of inspection and purification, and the temper of their inhabitants so hostile that they still require the chastening hand of military rule, but yet their broad lands and fertile acres are so productive, that land agencies founded on Northern capital cannot forbear to turn a penny or two by driving hard bargains with the war-wasted owners of the mil, and farming out their ancestral possessions to the sons of thrift from Yankee land whom they invite to occupy them. The States and people of the South are judged unworthy of Federal relationship and the enjoyment of civil liberty, but their country with all its sins is good enough for speculators who have despoiled it Boston's puritanic conscience is made of convenient stuff it can sicken when it will, at secession, but it can batten on it consequence and never feel a qualm. XASIIVI1.EE AXD CINCINNATI OUR KAIEltOAO SYSTEM. "Wo observe by the Cincinnati papers of the loth, that active steps are on foot in that city for the construction of a railroad having its northern terminus at that point, and ex tending southwardly across the State of Ken tucky, with a view of connecting with the railroad ramifications of this State and those further South. The project of a road of this character to Knoxvillc on tho East Tcnncs Bee and Virginia road, has been can vassed, and from the proceedings to which we refer, that routo seems to command the favor of the Cincinnati people. They seem in earnest in the matter, and speak of a million of dollars from the city, and two millions from the State of Ohio, to put the work in operation. This is a matter in vhieh Nashville is vitally nteresled, anil unless our pcopU soon arouse to Uieir dutietj they will find their railroad system, andprotperity as a city seriously injured. It will be remembered, that several years since, a route was surveyed under the super intendence of Capt. Childs, for a railroad via Glasgow, from Cincinnati to this city. This was beforethecoinpletion.perhaps before the location of the Louisville aniMashville lload. These surveys in all their detail arc still in existence, and in this city. Even at that time it was clearly demonstrable as the road for the interests of Cincinnati. Since the nearer completion of tho railroad system now centering at 'this point, the reasons for that view are very much stronger. In con trast with Knoxvillc, Nashville has all the advantage for the inlcreste of those at the Northern terminus of the contemplated road. Wo havo not space now- to elaborate them, but will simply say i anticipation of further allusion to this important subject, that the connections direct at Nashville, by the Nash- ille and Chattanooga, Nashville and North western, Tennessee and Alabama, and Edge field and Kentucky roads, and indirectly with Nashville, by tho Memphis and Char leston at Steveiuon, Memphis, Louisville and Clarksvillo at Clarksville, Mcmphisand and Ohio at Humboldt, Mobile and Ohio at Corinth, the Central Alabama from the Southern terminus of the Tennessee and Alabama, the connections south from Chat tanooga, and from Grand Junction through Mississippi, and from Memphis through Ar kansas, aro far superior for all purposes to those presented at Knoxvillc, which is sim ply an important station on one line of rail road in it easterly direction extending into Southwestern Virginia, and With westcrly merging simply into connections with which Nashville is a centre. Besides, after leaving the blue-grass re gion of Kentucky, on the route from Cincinnati to Knoxvillc, the country is poor and hilly and comparatively thinly inhabit ed, while in the direction of this point tho whole of Kentuckv is a rich and populous region, and in that State as well as in our own, a portion of the route is the great petroleum-producing region, and destined to becomo the seat of stirring and lucrative business. These considerations are thrown out for the attention of our Cincinnati friends, but chiefly for our own people who aro urged to bestir themselves to look after their interests in this enterprise, and take steps to present to the public the great advantages which XaMivillc offers. We suggest that a public meeting be promptly called to take this subject into consideration, and that our City Council dis cuss immediately the propriety of deputising a committee to proceed to Cincinnati, and, through the maps and survey of Capt Childs, point out the facts in the case to Cincinnati capitalud. Tkiai. of Jeff. Da via. The editor of the Louisville Journal, who has lately re turned from a visit to "Washington, publishes tho following significant paragraph: "No matter, dear reader, what you oo in tho Capers. Jen. Davis won't have a military triat and e won't b convicted. And if ho tcrrr convicted, ho would bo pardoned. Though no card-player, we "s e k by the card.'

THE MUTT OF "PATRIOTS. The call for the M&sh Convention i wTiicli i'is to assejBblc in this) city, on the'22difnst, sufficiently indi cates 'its purposes. Th? or- gan of the Hadicalslias been kind enough to suggest, from time to time, suitable rcflu- tions for the adoption of that body, and some of thoso who cither dictate its cqurjie or follow in its- footsteps have been indiscreet enough to denounce the President the leader of the Secessionists. This is easily explained. The attachment , of Anduew Joiixsok to the Constitution, his determina tion to administer the Government on it and the jnst, interpretation placed, on its pro visions by the fathers of freedom in America, docs not please Mr. Sumner and.Mr. Stevens and those of that liver.- It 'does not please the(" memorialists " and their "beggarly account" of followers in this State. II was ,not intended to please them. On the coatra- 'ry, it was designed to counteract and, as far as possible, in this State and elsewhere, redress the fanatical schemes of those who would change the nature pf the Government and re duce to silence and bondage those who would perpetuate it in thespiritand upon the princi ples laid down by those who wrested it irom British domination and laid its foundations on the broad basis of a written organic )aw. If it has any object outside of this;) we have no interest whatever in it We did not call this meeting, and have no right or desire to dictate what shall bi iU action. But we may be permitted to utter a warning against the iniscliidf-makers who may seek to control, either directly or indi rectly, itsj action. It has only to perform the great duties devolving upon the true lovers of constitutional liberty. If in any shape, looking to a different result, thi en emies -of this end and aim appear, if'will only have to spurn them from its considera tion, and go forward in the assertion of tho Union upon the Constitution, and the wise and "magnanimous means adopted by the President to restore and maintain it THE IIOESE OF REPRESENTATIVES. This body is still at a dead lock. There being no law to compell the attendance of abicnt members, the present statu is likely to be preserved for awhile. Tho State Constitution (Art. 2, sec 11) defining the1 powers of tho Senate and House of Kcpre scntatives says : "Two-thirds of each House shall constitute a quorum to do busines: but a smaller num ber may adjourn from day to day, and may he authorized by lav; to compel the attendance of absent members." ' The LcgUlaturo'ncvcr having passed any law authorizing either House, when below a quorum, to compel the attendance of ab sent members, the Speaker and the House are powerless. Since the foregoing was in type the fol lowing compulsory process has been issued by the Speaker. We understand that Messrs. Garrett, of Overton, Thomas of Coffee, Willis of Haw kins, and one or two others, whose names we did not learn, have tendered their resig nations. In the present condition of the country it would be wise and patriotic if the Legislature would adjourn sine die and refer all these matters back to the people who clectedthcm. The country wants peac It will not be secured, we arojourc, through this Legislature. The following is the order referred to: IIorsK or Reprksestatives, I Sprikk's Desk, Feb. 19, 1800.

Tin: CONVENTION A SUGGESTION. The indications arc that the mass assem blage of Tennessee which is to take place in this city on Thursday, will .be one of the largest ever held here. The Jtailroaus lead ing to Nashville have shown unusual liber ality in extending the use of the roads .free of charge to all accredited delegates both coming and returning on that occasion. Our steamboats have also made liberal arrange ments for carrying the various delegations looking tar this mode of conveyance. In view of tho probablo inadequacy of hotel accommodations for the vast crowd, we res pectfully suggest that our citizens 6pcn their homes to the reception of their friends and fellow-citizens. Whilst the occasion is to be political, it isnot designed to be par(isan, and it would afford a most appropriate op portuny for a social reunion of no less raluo and significance than its public objects. It is thus that the wanderers of four bitter and dreary years, friends separated and estranged, could again renew the social ties, and pledge at one and ShcRamo time, upon the altars of private friendship andof public duty a union of hearts, heads and hands as the surest and strongest support of the American people. Pouring tho waters of Lethe over the past, all can now come together in a common pur pose to repair ns far as ma be its errors, and to make the future happy and glorious. Wo submit this suggestion to the Com mittee of Arrangement's, that steps may be taken at once in tho premises. Tun New York Iribune's Washington correspondent says of Mr. Bancroft's oration: 'The opinion that Mr. Bancroft' attack on foreign Governments, on the occasion of the obsequies of Mr. Lincoln, in the presence of the representatives of these Governments as the guests of the nation, was an unjustifiable act of impropriety, is quite generally enter tained and openly expressed here. One of tho most singular incidents of the occasion was tho following : Mr. Romero, the Minis ter of the Mexican Republic, presented him self at one of the doors of the Hall of Rep resentatives, but having accidentally forgot ten to bring his card of invitation with him, he Was refused admission by the door-keeper, on the grounds that the orders issued on that point were very strict The matter was referred to the chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, but the door-keeper' was sustained in his refusal to let Mr. Romero in, so that tho Foreign Minister to whom Mr. Bancroft had something very agreeable to wiy, was kept out, while tho English Min ister, who had to submit to very hard treat ment, was let in to hear it" It is under-" stood that Mr. Bancroft, failed in more res pects than ono to please the Radicals. FREEDOH OF THE PRESS. The Radical organ of this city favors the suppression of "all the infamous rebel pa pers of the South." The organ ignores that section of the Declaration of Rights, (lllth) which says : "The free communication of thought and oln ion is one of the invaluable rights of man. and every cllisen may freely speak, write and print on any subject, being mponsible for the abuie or that liberty." The Macon (Go.) Messenger learns from Mr. Gibson, Representative from Crawferd coanty, that the negroes of that ceunty, so for as'he could learn, were working well, and oeemngly perfectly contented. They have a troops in that county, aad the agent of thaFreedfBea'n Bareaa.kiOM.rf their swn cHttet, who uadersAsuwi tfee character of both the labor aad laborer.

Bives Follard, Esq:: biiu ilie course ol the JLzaminer in every number which I have seen has been such as to foster and increase the ill feeling toward the Government of the United States by the discontented policy of the Southern people. I believe it to be for the best interests of the whole people, North and South, to suppress such utterance whenever the power exists to do so. The power certainly does exist where martial law prevails, and will be exercised. Reluctant as I was to pursue this course, I have felt it my duty to pursue it in this in stance, and as much as 1 dislike to interfere with tho interests of individuals, I only deem' it improper and mischievous in tend ency to revoke the order for the suppression of the Richmond Examiner at tins time. Respectfully, U. S. Gkant, Lieutenant-General. The following is a copy of the circular letter addressed : TO DEPARTJIBNT COMMANDERS. You will please send to these headquar ters as soon as practicable, and from time to time hereafter such copies of newspapers published in your department as contain sentiments of disloyalty and hostility to the Government in any of its branches, nnd state whether such paper is habitual in its utterance of such sentiments. The per sistent publication of articles calculated to keep up a bad state of feeling between the people of the different sections of the coun try cannot be tolerated, and this informa tion is called for with a'view to their sup pression, which will be done from these leadquartcrs ouly. iiy command of Lieut lien.
