I DEAR. jourtast : TheGnbernatarial Can

Tarticular pains to join lhands' with:the re

is indeed bopele.ss. Thefirst "great" drama
• proved a decided fizzle. Last week the
• . curtain of , the second scene' was raised et
, ISechanicsburg, when Clymer ,dispensed
lood to the political bietbrea, but as fate
would have it, disappoibtment came again,
and only a few of the cl4sen could be found,
after : canvassing the, surrounding country
for two weeks and distributing passes over
the: railroads to all wh would promise to
attend. This closed the second scene and

„ the.curtain fell in der6ess., The opinion

is .gainieg ground : a 1 ong all intelligent
classes, and acknowled ed by honest leading
.democrats, that there is not the faintest
erospect of Clymer's e ection. Gen. Peary

the more violent of .the copperheads are

obstacle beta. arisen Which they cannot avoid;
! viz,: They cannot Eng soldiers .etioth for
delegates. In this e.xtrernity they have re
sorted , to a very honorable practice, and get
deserters and bounty jumpers, who they
pay a regular salary. i They have learned
, by exnerience Thai, the soldiers would ra
ther fight under Gear , --who is a soldier,—

TENNESSEE.
WignmaTos, July' 24, 1866.
The House to day met at 11 o'clock, a:..d
commenced working in earnest, preparting
for adjournment. Most of the flay' : was oc
cupied on Deficiency Appropriation hilt.
At 211-o clock, Col Cooper, the PreaidenVis
Private Secretary,lcame on the floor of the
House and 'presented a message from tile
President, l titating that he had signed, un--
, der.protest,! the joint resolutiOn admitting
,the State of Tennessee into the Union.
Rumors had been, afloat ally the, morning
that the President' would either: •eto the
bill outrimht or allow it to.become a law
-
without his signature by letting it remain
over the necessary' ten days; 'consequently
the members were all on the qui vine
about Tennessee's. fate. : Accordingly, when
Col. Coo Per made his appearance, a Mini
berof members:gathered around hini to
hear the, news. When, he announced• the
result, ;lie was- heartily congratulated by
[ those around him, among.whom were some
of this most. Radical :Onion members. An
outsider in - the galleries would :have
thought, from . the scene below, that the
quarrel :between the. President and Con-,
gress had been' settled, and an era of good
feeling was folloWing. Speaker Colfax re
eeived the ineesage and, not being in the
Chair, al number of members gathered
around 101 to, knew. the exact Words of
Mr.. Johnson,.:.. Mr. Bingham, in particular,
was very.anxious. It, washis and he
evidently felt. that he bad the first right to
see the message. Accordingly Mr. Colfax
surrendered the rnanusciipt to the gentle
man froixidOhlo but before Mr. Bingham
had time to read it to the grouP around him
the Committee on the Whole arose, and
Mr. Colfax "relieimd Mr. Dawes from the
duties of the 'Speaker's Chair. - Down
went the little , mallet, and the Speaker
announce& the message from the President.
In.an.instant, there Was.a dead silence, and
the Clerk, • Mr:t-McPherson i "commenced
reading the message. ':When: •Mr.' Mc-
Pherson, reached , that part of the message
where. Mr. Johnson stated he affixed his
Signature to .there was loud clap
ping of banda and. applause _by .Members
on the floor—Radicals, Conservatives and
Democrats joining in. Then again, further
down inthe message, where the President
stated that he did • not ;wish Congress to
construe his signing the Bill into an ac
quiescence of their policy, there was loud
laughter by Members. The reading of the
message consumed. about 10 minutes.-
IWhen finished, there was applause from all
quarters: There were very few in the gal
leries, however: When matters bad got
..,
quieted ) ] Stevens rose! and moved that
the. Committee;'on Reconstruction be dis
charged from further consideration of the
Tennessee question, and also moved that,
as Tennessee.was now State in the Union,
the ,credentials ;of. her Representatives , be
referred] to. the Committee, on . Elections.
Onthesemot_ D S , f Alin h
mot_ DS, that
the Heim had no time! to spare for debate
and unnecessary talk, demanded the previ- ,
ous question, but, as a matter course, the
Democrats must say . semetbing., Mr. Le
Blond thought the members from Tennes
see should be sworn in without their cre
dential; going IM the Election CoMmittee.
Other, points of order were ,raised but all
were overruled by the Speaker, and the
first motion Of Mr. Stevens, for the dis
charge of the Committee was, adopted with
, out calling the yeas and nays. Then,
on
i the question of referring the credentials of
the, Tennessee members to the Committee
on Elections, several members straggled
into a debate,whee Mr. Wentworth rose and
demanded the regular order.. After sev
eral, pints °Corder had been disposed of,
a vote was taken.. by yeas and nays, the
motion beieg adopted by a vote of 89 to
28 Mr. Dawes immediately proceeded to
get a Aroma of his Committee together,
and ,hatl au examination of the credentials
of the Tenne;see members present. They
were Air. Maynard, •Col. Stokes and. Mr,
Taylor._ i'inding the credentials correct,
Mr. Dawes, at:about 4. o'clock,: moved that
the above-nained members from Tennessee
be sworn in,lwhich was, carried, and each
member then took the required test oath.
Messrs. , Maynard and Stokes took seats on
the. RepubliCan side of the House, and Mr.l
Taylor on the Democratic aide * During a
part of the above prec,eedila Messrs. b
, Bina.-
ham, Schenck, Kasson and ..Raymond.
fOrmed a grhup, in the center of which was'
that: firm old Radical leader, Mr. , Thad.
Stevens. . Altogether the day ba§ been
one of rejoicing in and out of Congress.
This evening a salute of 100 guns, in hon
er of the event; was fired at Judiciary,

said that Senator PattersOn'ef _Ten

Objection will be made to his being sworn

with all the warm emotions of a grateful
heart for the unanimously adopted resolu
tion you have placed on your journal.. Un

the Scales so fairly poised that every

ion shall
. stand the 'teSt'' of 'ieason and of
parliamentary law.' -Watched as a presid
ing officer always mustbe by scores of crit
ical eyes, this is never, less than' difficult;
, and he is fortunate if he can impress the
body over which he Presides with the con
viction that his constant aim has been to
render justice to all. Meeting he iv amid'
