Gen. sickles on Negro Troops and Copper
heads.

The story that the New York Coppcrheads
propose to run Gen. Sickles for Mayor is not
rendered probable by his letter to Gen. Kilpat-
rick, who is stumpng New Jersey:
would not have you suppose, my dear Gen
eral, that am not duly grateful for the kind
offer Of sympathy rendered by the democratic
convention of New Jersey to the officers and
soldiers engaged in the late war. presume
they are sorry for US that VIC did not keep out
Of the war, as they did and. Of course. we
ought to seize with avidity that compliment to
white courage and white patriotism paid to
US ut the expense Of the black troops. The
credit Of the victories won by the Union arms
are due alone TO white officers and soldiers.
This quotation from the seventh resolution Is rs
generous as IL Is grammatical. You and know,
as all our comrades know, that the exclusion
Of the black troops from fair share OF praise
is as unjust as 1t Is mean. They performed
their duty with courage, and fidelity, and zeal.
They have proved their fitness to enjoy the
freedom which their valor helped to win. IL,
as the Copperheads say. the war was waged for
emancipation, was il not right that the race
which was to be enfranchised should share the
perils Of the conflict II, as we say, the war
was prosecuted to defend the Union aud Consti
tuition of our fathers, need the Copperheads
complain that negroes took their places in the
ranks Let them grumble no one else is
hurt"

The PRESIDENT on NEGRO SUrrRAGE.-Sec.
rotary Welles recently told the editor Of the
Hartford Press that If Mr.. johnson was at
home, and private citizen, he would favor
negro suffrage in Tennessee. Senator Doo-
Titles account Of the Presidents views is to
the effect that, while he should desire that
each Southern State should strike out oil
constitutional restriction upon colored suf.
frage, and that the Legislature should be
empowered to extend, from time to time, the
rights of suffrage to certain superior classes
of the colored people, such as those who had
performed the military service. who had for
long time been heads Of families. and sup
ported them by their own industry, and who
had demonstrated clearly their intellectual
fitness to exercise the right Of suffrage, it
would be wholly impolitic and dangerous for
him to attempt to establish negro suffrage rs
a condition precedent to the re-admisson Of
the rebellious States.

THE PROPOSED EIGHT Hours SYSTEM -
The New York Commercial upon this sub
ject. in regsrd to which public meetings arc
now and then held, says:
A combined effort Of tho trades assoca.
tions throughout the country might succeed
in compelling employers to submit to q uni.
form eight hours system. But what would
DO the result? The labor Of the country
would DO reduced twenty five per cent; the
products of labor would be diminished to
the same extent the profits Of capital and
tho wages Of labor would be diminished to
q still greater extent, because tho cost Of tn"
machinery and buildings would remain the
same us when the proportion was twenty
Eve per cent. greater, and labor would conse-
quently tend to cmigrate to other countries,
and the working classes would be the great
est cutters; trade and all It's dependencies
would become stagnant, and the whole COM
munity would have to submit to large
diminution in tho amount Of its enjoyments.

REIGN or TERROR IN East TENSEssEE.-
The accounts from East Tennessee are one
prolonged wall OF horror. Nowhere else in
the South are scenes Of blood being enacted
on an equally extensive scale. Tho Union
men, remembering how they were hunted
down in the earlier years Of the war, are re-
solved that their prosecutors shall not live
with them in peace on any terms. The sur.
rendered rebels, on the other hand, claim the
protection Of their parole, and protect them.
selves. But Us oil and water will not mix,
even with much shaking, 80 these two ele-
ments stand out in unrelenting hostility.
Murders are Of daily occurrence, hut they
are not murders by stealth or done for rob-
berry. The ruling passion is "revenge."
A lad Of sixteen picks out the man who
dealt his father the fatal blow, and shoots
him. Returned Union soldiers take sum.
mary Justice for outraged wives or daughters.
Old men sacrifice to the names of their MUIR
dered sons. For four years has East Tennes-
see been ridden by rebel outlaws with deeds
of blood, until every house can show the
stains upon its door posts Just now the
Union soldiers are being discharged and dis.
tributed among their homes. The Knoxville
Wing, recounting the horrors of those days,
says: "Gov. Harris and his rebel advisers
could have prevented all this, but they were
not then so jealous in favor OF law and or.
der rs now! But now Gov. Brownlow is
called upon in loud and eloquent terms to
stop all attempts ut violence. lie is told
that he can stop it If he will-that he will
be blamed if he does not stop t-and that
the character Of the country will suffer il
any more acts Of violence are perpetrated
Gov. Brownlow says that he can't be with
several thousand returned soldiers, dispersed
over a dozen counties, to see that each man
acts with propriety, and observes the spirit
and letter of the law" He leaves each man
TO do that himself.
