The following sample of their treat-

"The trial and acnuittal of Brannan

in our County Court is a fair sample of
the effect of our Slate law excluding
the Chinese from giving testimony
against a white. The jurymen who very
promptly brought in a verdict of ac
quittal, could not have had the least
doubt of bis guilt, the preof being as
positive as well could be; but for the
lack of legal testimony that a robbery
bad been committed, and which proof
could only be given by the Chinamen
who were robbed, th highwayman has
to be turned loose to continue his nefar

Nashville, April 3. Last Wed
nesday an ex-Federal soldier named
Graham, well known in Nashville, war,
driven out of Mouct Pleasant County,
Tenn. by a Kuk-KIux mob. He had
gone to the place with a view of secur
ing employment as a teach?r. While
at the Post Office he was surrounded
by a mob of 15 or 20 rebels, who de
manded to know where he was from
and what wis bis business. He polite
ly and frankly answered the question,
when he was told that no d d Yan
kee who bad fought against the South
during the war should lire in Mount
Pleasant, and he must, on pain of death,
leave the place within five minutes.
He was followed three miles from the
town, and cursed, tantalized and re
peatedly threatened with infant death.
The mob was headed by Nixon, the
town constable, who claimed to have CO
men under his command who would
swear that no Radical Yankees should
settle within' bis lines. Mr. Graham
returned to this city yesterday.
SfThe question is canvassed in
Ohio whether, if Senator Wade becomes
acting President by the convictien and
removal of Mr. Johnson, will there be
a vacancy in the representation of Ohio
in tbe Senate to be filled by the Legis
lature. Mr. Vallandigham thinks
there will; but the better opinirn is that
there will nou If Mr. Wade becomes
acting President, it will be solely be
cause he is President of the Senate
and he holds that office only as a Sena
tor. He will ipso facto cease to be
President of the Senate, and cannot
therefore be acting President. It seems
quite clear that his office as Senator will
not be vacated in casecf the President's
conviction.

The Courier's scheme is for the Chief
Justice to make himself the rallying
poijt for those Senators who, as it al-
Iedges, have'shown symptoms of wav-

such Senators. Judge Trumbull,

its defeat a result which has been for
sometime a foregone conclusion. The

II 1. By all the Democrats because it
made all the freemen in th btate
voters, aud by,a few Republicans for
the same reason.

2. By a large body of the Spiritual-

requirement that the Legislature shall
be opened "with prayer," and the pre-
amble says something about a "reli -
ance on God."

cau$8 the Constitution provides that no
appeal shall be had from the Board of
Supervisors of a countv in relation to
accounts against the county for servict s.
4. By a large and respectable class
because the instrument allows all town
shins to vote aid to railroad projects
The last Legislature was flooded with
bills legalizing these townhip subscrip-
tjons. (Jov. Crapo vetoed all the bills.
-mi the thousands who agreed with him
voted 'against the Constitution. The
question divided every township, as it
nrns ont of direct taxation.
5. It was voted against by the great
bulk of the prohibition party, for the
reason that the present Constitution
authonizes prohibitory legislation,
which tbe new Constitution will n't
permit, udless the seperaie clauses to
that effect be adopted.
6. Another clause inducing many
