Gentlemen : I pray you to accept
my thanks for your kind invitation to
attend a banquet to be given at the
Metropolitan Hotel, in. the city of
Washington, on thepth instant, under
the auspices of lending members of
tho Conservative 1'emocrntic party.
Under ordinary circumstances it
would bo peculiarly gratifying to me
to participate in the fostivitics of that
occasion, and to enjoy "the feast of
reason and flow of soul'1 which, 1 doubt
not, will givo lest to your entertain
moat. But, situated as I am dis
franchised as a citizen, denied the
political privileges which are accorded
to my negro servant; repelled from
tho hall of the House of Representa
tives, to which 1 was elected almost
by acclamation ; my native State, tho
proud old mother of Washington, and
Henry, and Jefferson, unrecognized,
save as Military District No.
must confess I would feel somewhat
out of plnco at your board.
In former days, when I visited
Washington as a representative of
the people, or as the associate of Web
ster, CrittondonMtnd Corwin, in the
executive councils of the nation, I felt
that, in tho eye of tho law at least, I
was the peer of the loftiest in the land.
I was privileged to think freely and
to speak freely on all matters of pub
lic concern. Wero I to join your cir
cle now, I should feel painfully con
scious of tho difference between your
position and mine. No military order
enn consign you to a dungeon beyond
the reach of habeas corpus, and no
portuubive bayonets admonish you to
speak with "bated breath." With mo
the enso might bo different. But bo
that as it may, while Virginia mourns
I cannot rejoice. While tho cypress
encircles her brow I cannot twino the
myrtle round my own.
Bat mny I not hopo that tho pres

If I do not misinterpret the signs of

In tho New York World, of the
17th, tho following article appeared,
which we present to our readers to-
lay with such prominence) as Its im-
iiortance demand. hilo column
might bo written upon tho subject, t
would scarcely be possible to discuss
tho great questions thus treated in a
more conclusive and eloquent manner,
and wo ask for it a culm and careful
perusul :
The Dump Revolution.
Tho Revolutionists of the Rump
Congress are advancing rapidly to the
final consummation of their treason.
Thither all their steps have tended
since the putting down of the rebellion
removed every hindrance but them
selves to a restored Union. They
have taken no steps backward.
They began by denying to tho peo
ple of ten States their ri'dit to bo
represented in tho covernmont. Next
they ejected from their seals in Con
gress Northern representatives enough
to give them a two-thirds majority for
overriding every veto which might
block their path to power. Having
made themselves a Rump, they pro
reeded to tnuko tho Rump supremo.
They pusscd a bill stripping the
Lxecutivo of his power to remove civil
subordinates whose faithless dischargo
of their trusts might incapacitate him,
through them, to execute tho laws.
They stripped him even of tho power-
to choose his confidential advisers,
and they havo restored to his seat in
the Cabinet (and their tool obeys tho
mandate) a minister who bad pro
nounced tho law unconstitutional by
which ho holds his place; and, to-day,
having erected a military government
in teu States, they are stripping the
Commander-in-Chief of all control of
his subordinates in tho army of the
United States.
Thus not merely do they leavo naked
of all his rightful authority and power
Andrew Johnson, the transiont choice
of the people of the United States as
tho executor ol their laws, but they
are destroying one equal and co-ordi
nate branch of tho government as it
was established in 1789; and to tho
people themselves remains, out ol tho
whole body of executive power then
assigned and distributed to their ser
vants, nothing but the privilege to
participate in a pucked election, troin
which ten out of thirty-seven States
are excluded, for a Chief Magistrate
reduced to impolcnco, and a Com.
mandcr-in-Chief whom they aro in.
structing his army to disobey.

Tho chair, tho duty, the authority
which onco wero Washington's and
Jefferson s, Madison s and Jackson s,
Adams', Harrison's and Taylor's, this
Rump usurps.
For tho spotloss ermine which Jay,
Marshall!, and Taney havo worn, though
now resting chief! v upon tho shoulder
of men ol tLeirown choice, they reserve
no better fa to. Tho judicial power
vested by tho people iu ono Supremo
Court, like the cxecutivo power vested
in tho President, stands equally in
their way, and blocks their path to
unbalanced, uncontrolled supremacy
Tho judgment of that high tribunal in
tho Miliigan case; their unanimous
judgment that where tho authority ot
tho United States was unopposed and
its courts wero open, a military com
mission had no jurisdiction to try a
citizen who was neither a prisoner of
war nor in the military service; the
judgment of a majority that Congress
could not have given a military com
mission jurisdiction, left tho usurpers
of tho Rump without hope that the
judges would become their tools. If
clear-eyed justice did not hesitate to
pronounco lawlois the deeds which
had a state of war for their excuse,
they could not hope it would spare
their usurpations ventured in time of
peace. Wherefore to secure them
selves in their usurpations of executive
power, and to intrench themselves
against the bolt whioh sooner or later
was to ho delivered lrora the sovereign
scat of justice, and to shatter tho right
arm of their strength and the military
governments of the South, which wero
their citadels, the Rump, taking no
steps backward, advances to the au-
ducious usurpation ot tho authority of
L. CJ - .. - . - .L 1- 7.1

States.
Congress is today tho Judiciary.
Tho Constitution which gavo Con
gresses tho right to bo, tho laws here
tofore enacted in pursuance therewith,
the authoritative decisions ol a noble
line ol justices unimpcached for their
prooity and who have judged thoneo
plo righteously theso and all these
tho Rump makes less of than the voto
ot a majority ol its caucus ; these and
thoir authority the Rump usurps.
Thus tho legislative power of tho
pcoplo of ten States, and the executive
power and judiciary power of the peo
ple or miny-Bovcn Mates, is usurped
by a Rump calling itself a National
legislature and making itself supremo.
'i beso men aro traitors, and this is
Revolution.
Tho men of the Rump aro traitors
not with arms seeking to secede
from ono free government in order to
establish another like the first they
are traitors to representative govern
ment itself, to tho institutions which
alone in modern times have enshrined
civil liberty. They aro traitors to tho
freedom of freemen.
What next f
Tbo Rump Revolutionists leavo lis
in no doubt. No Htcps backward.
They tread straightforwardly the path
down which other nations have been
led by other traitors to tho rights, tho
liberties, and the governments of other
peoples. Tho key to all those arsenals
of govermental power, from which
they aro tho lawful cwlodinns, they
proposeto surrender to General Grant.
He is named by his office in tho latest
reconstruction bill. Him they load
with their plunder and thoir stolen
badges of authority.
What should now hinder tho Houso
of Representatives from dissolving
tho Senate; or what hereafter should
binder Gen. Grant from dispersing
both. Not the Supremo law, for they
may as well abdicate tho powers they
possoss, as usurp thoso with which
they were never endowed ; and ho
may as well profit by his own usurpa
tions as consent to profit by theirs.
It is not a incro flagrant violation of
the Supreme law to aloIish a branch
n the l.rginlntnro than t? tnkw into
the custody of both brnncbt power
els. w hero deposited to bo tho check
and balance upon their. And when
General Grant accepts at the hands f
tho revolutionist of the Rump these
powers usurped from the Kxecutiveand
usurped from tho Judiciary, lie will

also.
What next? Tho pcoplo next No
vember will answer that. They will
neither havo a Rump Congress su
premo over them, nor u Military Dic
tatorship in tho person of General
Grant. Teu times more than tho
founders of our government dreaded
from tho open or secret monarchists
of 1789, theso Revolutionists have ac
tually accomplished by aflirniativo le
gislation towards breaking down tho
safeguards of Republican selfgovcrn
mcnt. But tho attempts which were
frustrated then havo less prospect of
final success now. Generation after
generation has enjoyed the blessings
of liberty, learned to tiso and prize
them, and transmitted them to their
children. The pooplo ol lKiiS havo
eomo into that groat inheritance, and
will not long be dispossessed of it.
Nor will those who have loft thoir na
tive lands to share it with us, whom
sharing does not impoverish, consent
to seo the sacrifice ol their right ana
our birthright.
Tho pcoplo of tho United State, be
it known to theso revolutionists oi tiio

ernment and tho natural throo-lold
division of its granted powers, as tho
chief security ot their laws and liber

They conccivo that that engagement
and solemn compact of tho pooplo, tho
Constitution, obliges the constituent
parts of tho nation to hold their public
faith with each other, tho Legislative

obliges each to maintain the others
dutifully in an undiminished function
and authority.

Fish Wiers in tho several dams across
tho Susquehanna and its tributaries,
for the purpose of allowing nhuu and
other fish to pass up und down said
rivers. Theso arrangements aro all
right as lar as they go, but as tho ob
jeetis to furnish tho wholo country
along these rivers with fish, it is as
necessary to incrcaso their numbers
as it is to facilitate their passago up
and down tho channels, alio process
of artificial incubation is no longer an
experiment in this country, as many
hundred millions of shad were hatched
out at Ilolyoke. Mass., during tho last
season. It is estimated that forty-nine
fiftieths of shad spawn in the rivers,
aro destroyed by fish or otherwise,
and that the artificial process is the
only plan by which their numbers can
be perceptibly increasod. It is sup
posed that shad return to tho river in
which they aro propagated, but whelh
cr this bo true or not, if all tho States
along tho Atlantic adopt tho process
ol artificial incubation their numbers
will soon be increased ten fold in all
of our rivers, and wo suggest that all
who arc interested send in petitions to
oar Legislature at tbo present Bession
recommending tho appropriation of a
sufficient amount to pay tho expenses
of filling our rivers with shad by the
process of artificial incubation. Col

Tennessee, which Brownlow "re
constructed," on tho Radical plan, in
to a pandemonium, is certainly after
Missouri tho most God-forsaken re
gion between the oceans. On tho
night of tho 15th instant, at Memphis,
a locked up prisoner attacked and
choked a fellow prisoner, who, in
turn, gouged out tho eyes of his as-
sailunt. On tho day beforo, at Dy
ersburg, Sheriff Parkinson attempted
to arrest an old man named Duncan,
who resisted and shot tho Sheriffs
thumb off. A son of the Sheriff' then
shot and killed Duncan, who in turn
was killed by Duncan's son, and Dun
can's son Wu finally killed by old Par
kinson. Further trouble is anticipa
ted. This is about what ''reconstruc
tion" will come to everywhere.

for tho nlory of Knoxvillo, tho war

0DR NEW YORK LETTER.
Nrw Yi'rk, Jan. 20, 1MV",
Gotham ha been startled out of it
equanimity this week by tho new
from Washington. Tho action of Con-
eres on tho new reeonst ration mea
sure, tho Supremo Court bill, and
the re-installment of Secretary Stan
ton to hi former position in the War
Department, have not failed to pro
duce a profound Impression in com
mercial and financial circles. Tin
newspapers are about equally divided
in opinion as to the propriety at this
juncture, when trade and industry are
almost paralyzed, in resorting to such
extreme legislation. Its effect upon
tho manufacturing and mercantile in
terests is very generally remarked ;
and in tho sudden decline of prices
for ull kinds of merchandise, the up
ward tendency of gold, tho advance
iu foreign exchange, and tho increasod
exportation of bullion to Europe, for-
shadows btill further prostration of
business:),
Tbo leading hotels havo already
made a irood becinning this week by
cutting down the price of board from
fivo to lour dollars a day, ana some
to two and a half and throo dollars.
Thia is enough in all conscience for
tho privilege of'boing packed in a room
six by nine like a herring, up tour
Bights, and lake tne cnanees oi get
ting something to eat at a crowded
table of half starved guests with only
a slim attendance of waiters to serve
up tho dishes. It will not bo long be
foro another downfall of prices will
occur, ihe f nth Avenue, ciurcnuon
and New York Hotels are only about
half full and barely paying expenses
this season. The others must be losing
monev. Nearly all the first-class pri
vate boarding-houses, located in the
more fashionable quarters, seem to be
running behind hand. Without a good
prinklm'' ot winter boarders wun
thick, plethoric purses to enable them
to make a display, theso expensive
caravansaries cannot long continue to
hold together. 1 he extravagant times
of King Shoddy, when it seemed to
rain greenbacks, and government con
tracti afforded such a rich harvest of
pickings and stealings for so many of
our iLinguithecl fellow-citizens to
grov rich on, have suddenly passed
away in a blaze oi splendor never
more to return. Many of our old
Knickerbocker families, who formerly
"boarded out" at these places, to es
cape tho enormous expenses inciden
tal to bousc-kecping nere, ana vno
trouble and annoyanco ot servants,
and others of moderate fixed incomes,
are living abroad in Europe. They find
they can livo there in mucti belter
style and with equal comfort for about
one-third what it costs to live here al
the present timo.
