Underwood can then bail him if he chooses.
Tbe proceedings regarding bail will be strictly

report concluJes ts follows :
If wo add iaia-jixiilcBOJieJkQt,
th&ti although peace baa been declared
by tbo PreeidciL hoJias not, to tbis day,
deemed it6afe to restore tbe writ of ha
beas corpus, ticlieve the insurrection
ary States of martial law, nor to with
draw the troops from, many localities,
and that the commanding general deems
an increase of the army indispensable to
the preservation of order and the pro
tection ofioyal and well-disposed peo
ple in tbo Sontb,4iie proof of a condi
tion of feeling hostile to the Union, and
dangerous to tbe 'government through
ont the insurrectionary State will seem
to be overwhelming. , .
r'; With snch eridencc before ibem, it is
the'opinion of-your committee
L That tho States lately ia rebellion
were, at tho ctoso of tho war, disorgan
ized communities, without civil govern
ment, and without constitutions or other
forme, by virtue of which political rola
lions could legally exist between th6tn
and the Federal government
II. Tbat Congress cannot bo expectod
to recogniso as valid tho election of re
presentatives from disorganized cominu
tiitios, which, from tho. very nature of
tlio case, wero unaMo to present theip
claims to representation under thdso "es
tablished and recognized rules, tho ob
servance of which has been hitherto re
quired. III. That Congress ' would not be jus
titled in admitting such communities to
a participation in tho government of tbo
country without first providing such
constitutional or otb'jr guarantees as will
aid to secure tbe civil rights of all citi
zens of tbe republic ; a just equality of
representation ; protection against claims
founded in rebellion, and crimes; a torn
porary restriction of tbe right of suffrage
to those who have not actively partici
pated in thq effort to destroy the Union
and overthrow tbo government, and tbe
exclusions from positions of public trust
of at least a portion of tboso whose
crimes have proved them to bo enemies
I to tho uniou and unworthy of public
coiihdencc.
Your committee will, perhaps, hardly
be deemed excusable lor extending tbis
report further ; but, inasmuch us iinmo
diate and unconditional representation
of the States lately in rebellion iade
manded as a matter of right, and delay,
and even hesitation, denounced as gross
y oppressive and unjust as well as un
wise and impolitic, it may not bo amiss
again to' call attention ton lew undis
puted facts And the principles ot public
law applicable thereto, in order that the
propriety of .that c'aim may bo fully con
sidered and well understood."
The S ate of Tennessee occupied a po
sition distinct from all the other insur
rectionary States, and has been the sub
ject of a separate report, which your
tomtnitte'o bav.- not thought it expedi
eut to disturb. Whether Congress shall
-e5 tit to make that State tbe subject ol
separate action or to include it in the
6atne category with nil others, so far a
concerns tlio imposition of preliminary
conditioas, it is not witbiln tlie province
of tbis committee either to determine or
advise. To ascertain whether any of
the so-called Confederate States "are en
titled to be represented in either bouse
of Congress," the essential inquiry is
whether (here Is in any one of them a
constituency qualified to be represxmte i
iu Congress. The quesMon bow far per-60ii-lai.ning

and handsome, lo say the least.
At 8 i'clock p. ni. on the 4th inst, the introduc
tory exercise to the whole Commencement pw
jfntnime began in the Chapi-l. Some few persons
had uken tlieir seats before the appointed hour,
in order to make a sure thing of it on tlieir part,
at least; and when the ii ring strains of music
l.ef.'Rii floating from llie band seated iu tlie gallery
imuiediately over the stage, there seemed to be a
general rush Irom nil purls ot the town, and in a
very short tune quite a respectable, audience had
assembled piobubly tram diflerent motives aud
with dilTerviit nwti'oivs, but all were a unit so far as
concerned tlie applause wliieli greeted the debut o
each Freshman aj he amended the rostrum to try
his lungs in his Cist efl'oit at declamation. It was
a trying time to these "Fresh," not a doubt of it.
How each speaker s heart bumped and thumped
against Ins ribs as the dread moment drew neater!
A"iil at la-i, wheii the trial was over, and raptur
ous applause resounded Irom every corner ol the
ha I as he strutt. d lo his seal, he could tfiot help
U-elmg as proud and diguiiied as a downy Shang

in the bain yard.
On this the first night of puMie exereises, there
were twelve species, made by Freshmen alto

the boys acquUled themselves wiLi cie III. and

expiring inutterings of tho late storm, and need
give no one any uneasiness. At eleven o'clock
exercises in the hall closed, and the lun-loviiH, or

and the agility of limb were to be tried merely a?

under the direction of Prof. It Slater, unfit half-

the interesting Multitude adjourned to repair the
damages inflicted upon trails, water-falls, skele
tons and such like articles of minor importance. As
yet only the outer works had been assailed, and
doubtless, jn some instances a lasting impression
was made ; but the heart, that (iibralter in so

On the forenoon of Wednesday Prof. Phillips,
Jr., delivered a sermon from these words: "And
now-abide'-h these three, faith, hopo and charity,
and the. greatest of these is. charily." In the even
ing Win. Rencher, a graduating student, delivered
an address in the Dialectic hall; said to have been
.a happv hit, but owing to the inconvenient situation-
of the band, I was unable to llffar it. At eight
o'clock! -night -the ClKipel was again 'filled, and
twelve students of the iiophomOfe etas delivered
addresses, concerning which (he reader ma'safrly
maice the same observations thnt I have ' made .in
the foregoing paft of this letter relative to the
Freshmen. Again at eleven o'el"ck the pro

I should suppose to be at least filteen feet, high,
from which beautiful chand. liet? hung suspemled,
lighting up the hall w ith ffreat buliiancy. The
floor had been polished smooth as a glass mirror,
and then thoroughly waxed, making it as sljck as
a lrozen mill pond in mid-winter. Is it at all wpn
deiful that the understanding should sometimes
suddenly and very unexpectedly give way, precipi.

Waariod aud exhausted, we retired to our rooms
just before day on Thursday morning, and for two
or Uiree hours slept oiost.prorounuiy. m luanco
to ourselves wo should have slept at least four or
five hours, but then tlie u Commencement " must
go on, and we bad scarcely taken our last whiff af
ter breakfast when we were again summoned to
our post At 0, a. the first procession was form
ed, with music in front, students next, then the
Faculty, and Ust of all as many ciuiseni as chose to
Jola Jn he march. At a fiverrwgiiaJ the celnmn

through dense shades, over greed sward, around
the " Caldwell monument," with heads uncovered,
and back again to tho Cliapel door, where Ihe col
umn opened ranks and, tlie rear marched through
into tlio Chapel. Some minutes after 10, a. m., Ex'
Oov. Vakcs was introduced to the audience as
speaker of the day. The most enthusiastic applause'
greeted bis appearance on the stage soi eihing de
cidedly similar to scenes which transpired long ago,
in another clime and under different circumstances,
but still fresh in our motnories. Tho hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity, apparently from
floor to ceiling. . Not a vacant scat could be found
all expecting a rich treat and no one disappoint
ed. . I need hardly ay any thing concerning the
Governor, his manner or his address. lie is so
universally known that the reader can form a bet
ter idea in imagination than I could give with my
pen, and besides I aui told that the address will bo
published, when all may judge for themselves. I will
only remark, however, that tlie genera tone of his
address was altogether of tlie harmonizing style;
and by competent judges was pronounced one of
the happiest efforts aud the best hit that could have
been made under the circumstances. " Here is a
health to thee, Zeb," for w hat follows :
The position oj the writer was such that without
making himself" at all conscious he could note
every Tittle circumstance that transpired midst the
vast assemblage of fluttering tans and " spike-tads,'
below. (He hopes he has not made bad use of his
opportunities!) This, by-way of parenthesis
Well, wheu the Oov. had been speaking some fif
teen minutes, three ladies (evidently from the coun
try) entered, aud at the door were met by one of
the marshals whose duty it was to provide seat for
la hes especially. After no little difficulty he suc
ceeded in seating two; but for the third the case
seemed to be hopeless. Now, tbere was a seat, the
fourth on the right of the rostrum, at the entrance
to which sat a deeply interesting specimen of tho
male genus, who was all attention, " butter and
bread," to the most captivating red ringlets " in alt
rwtur." sitting conveniently and pleasantly close on
hi neht. This Bohte gentleman, was lapped on I ,
the shoulder by the marshal and requested to give
his seat to a fady. Did lie? Instead of yielding
with alacrity, as he should have done, he lovingly
IhIiI hi heai besidH the lihirlets and whispered
' Shall I ?" The ringlets immediately sliook vio-J
leutly something like Moloch s, ana nice ins, too,
thought-tfks offire Were showered, as from the
blacksmith's hammer; but neither pestilence nor
war. The next moment tJov. V. was saying some
tmng about the farmer's daughter, her unsullied
virtue and chastity ; and in less than one minute
th.-reaficr that same plainly dressed, but neat and
really handsome young lady could have had a score j
ot seats. .
Whether this little incident was purely accident
al or intentional, I cannot say ; but it is certain that
many remarks were made about it that evening,
and as a natural consequence, everybody wauted to
hurrah lor Vance, old Jeff., President Johnson,
Junmie Hariwr, the ladies iu genoral aud two farm
er's "galls" in particular. When the Governor
closed, all hands weut an lor oumei, u iwm
alter which, another procession was formed, the
programme of the morning repeated, and by 3, P.
the chapel was again filled, wtitin the poee-he9

the valedictory by Wm. Rkncheb, was most impor

mined to make a hit, or at any rate they would
strike, hit or miss. At 8, r. u., " tUe music began
chernly and the dance went on merrity." The
Lancer's Quadrills, among the most popular, are
certainly very beautiful ; but let a spectator stop
both bis ears so completely that no music can en
ter, and then look at a hall.full of ladies and gen
tlemen engaged in the Lancer's,- bowing, scraping
and flirting, and be will have a better idea of the
superlatively ridiculous than he could gain by any
other possible method.
On this night of course it was ho aim of all who
took any part in the amusements of tfie evening,
to show off to tho best advantage ; and for this
purpose it may, well be supposed tbat in many in
stances nature was ignored aud artificial remedies
applied, to natural defec some imagiuary defects,
I may safely add. Curling irous, rouge, piaster
Paris, cotton, bears' oil, cologne, certain modern
French institutions, together with an endless varie
ty of unnameable little etceteras, scraped together
h oin the four quarters of the globe, and all used to
coruplete the toilett of the latter-day 'belle or-beau,
as kk case may be. Whew I what a terrible array
of httio items of expense, which, in the aggregate,
limiuinf in no inconsiderable sun: and after all.
many of these very same articles do a great deal
more harm than good. The pale faces among the
ladies in the ball room was a source of geneiaJ re
maik. Some few indeed presented really a ghast
ly appearance ; so palid so death-like I What
does it meati ? Is it an eviJch-e ijf improved taste
iu the uprier circles? If So, happy tho -mau whp
