vANDALISM.

Certainly, during the last four or ave
years, the public and private buildings Of
Clarksvile have suffered enough at the
hands of those who had no interest in our
city, as is painfully apparent to every one
who win examine the Female Academy,
Stewart College, and the buildings sppurte-
nant as also may private residences aud
grounds.
For these dcstroyers we can mako some
allowance, as their vandalism was commit
ted during .he war, when the lurid glare OF
battle gave them light to direct their mis-
siles of destruction. But where--echo an
swers where ?--is the excuse for those who
still persist in this wanton DETACHMENT Of
public buillings2 Stewart College, although
now used as school, for the young men Of
the city, is not yet free from the wanton out
rage of boys, who have not the restraining
influence of better counsel. Upon several
occasions we have seen urchins throwing
stones through its unprotected windows,
heard the crash of broken glass, and the
rumbling sound of thestones echoing through
its sacred halls.
We ask, is there no way by which this
can be stopped We accuse no one, but re-
spectfully ask that parents command their
children to refrain from this most outrageous
practice. OBSERVER.

The ST. Louis Dispatch Of recent date,
in the following paragraphs, shows how sad.
ly the radicals are ''put to it, to save them
selves.
We learn from private sources that sen.
timent of real alarm prevails in the radical
camp in Missouri, particularly among the
State officials at Jefferson City. They dom,
like the looks of the horizon. The roar of
the tempest is heard in the distance, There
is an uneasiness in the atmosphere around
them that betokens catastrophe. The wild
popular enthusiasm that attends Gen. Blair
wherever he goes-the immense multitudes
that gather to hear him speak, and applaud
his speeches--the revival of the old Ameri

determination to assert their rights, in spite
Of all the party militia that Gov. Fletcher
can bring in the feld-these things are fill

knees to smite together with terror.

With the test oath modified SO as to ex-

yards from taxation, it is thought the wrath
of the people will be papeased, and the radi-

geance threatened them in November.

TAKE WARNING.-The Southel

TAKE WARNING.-The Southern
States were told, year ago, that if
they would adopt the propositions
submitted to them, they should, at
once, be represented in Congress-
They accepted the terms, and where
now are their Representatives p
Again the Southern States are as
sured, by Congress that, if they will
endorse one more batch of amend
ments, its delegates will be admitted
to their seats. Don't believe a word
of it. There is nothing to prevent
the re-enaotment of the same fraud,
and, if Congress can have its own
way, the South will continue to be
disfranchised until each State con-
fers the right of suffrage upon the
negro. This is the ultimatum of
the Radicals, and nothing short of
it will secure representation for the
South.

VERY LIKELY.-Gen. Gurley, who
is now raising cotton in Alabama,
says there are five thousand northern
men, in that State, similarly engaged,
and that a tax upon cotton will not
only drive them away, but will pre-
vent northern emigration, the only
means of purging the South of dis
loyalty. If this is to be the remedy
for disloyalty, tax the cotton. There
are northern men whom the South
would cordially welcome, but the
brood Of blood suckers, now hover
ing under the wing Of the Bureau,
and fomenting discord between the
whites and blacks, would be happy
riddance, aud cheaply bought at the
price of tax on cotton.

RECoNeTRUcTroN.--Brownlow has
issued his proclamation, converting
the Legislature, on the 4th Of July,
to ratify the constitutional amend
ment, proposed by Congress. As
we cannot believe that there is a true
Tennesseean within the limits of
the State who, in moments of sober
reflection, can endorse so great a
wrong upon humanity, justice and
political liberty as is contemplated
by this dangerous movement, it is
the solemn duty Of every conserva-
tive voter to enter his protest against
its ratification by the Legislature
Public meetings should be held, in
every county, on the 1st Monday in
July. to give expression to public
opinion upon this grave subject, and
everywhere, instructions should be
given to the members of both Hous-
es, to vote against this monstrous
wrong to the vital interests Of the
whole people of all the States. If
such action can do no other good, it
will show that the people did not
consent to their own degradation,
but were betrayed by those who
claim to be their Representatives
An effort to stay the tide that is
beating against the foundations of
public liberty, will at least, prove
that the love of freedom is not ex-
tinguished in the hearts of the mass
es, and that they have the manliness
to raise their fettered hands in pro-
test against their farther enslave-
ment, by those who can plead no
constitutional authority for the ex-
ercise of power conferred by bay
onets.

]. r. RrcE, Ese.-We clip the following
testimonial Of the Grand Jurors of Robert
son county, to our worthy Attorney General,
j. i. RlcE from the Robertson Register;
We would also express our thanks to At
torney General j, +. RIcE, to which we think
he is justly entitled, for the able, polite and
gentlemanly manner, in which he discharges
his duty, always ready as he is, to prosecute
crime and see that the law is yindicated aud
offenders brought to justice. He shows no
disposition to stoop to little low down things,
for the sake of getting an unnecessary in
dictment, that can not end in any good but
will generally end in running the individual
and State TO an unnecessary expense. This
we think entities him to the respect and ad-
miration oil the people; and we recommend
him to the public as an able, honest, faithful
and humane public servant.

the detective service since that time. He is
well known to the citizens of Memphis.
Captain Brady has been in Memphis for
the past four years, during which time he
has been in the service of the United States
as detective. He is native ofNew Hamp-
shire, and served one year in the 18th Michi-
gun infantry during the war. He went into
the army as a Lieutenant, and left 1t with
the rank of Captain to assume service as a

REMoRsE.-A man in West Vir.
ginia who had acted as a Federal spy
upon his neighbors, got friend to
obtain the forgiveness of those he
brutally betrayed and then drowned
himself in a we'll. 1t is stated, in
the papers, that Preston King was
driven to suicide by remorse, for his
agency in the hanging of Mrs. Sur
rat, and Gerritt Smith is appealing
against tho farther persecution of Mr..
Davis. These things are valuable as
showing that a Radical may have a
conscience. Wonder if Tennessee
will not furnish some illustrations of
the same fact, in tbc same way?

THE REASON. Why are the Rad
icals 50 anxious to guaran:ee the pay
ment Of the National debt by making
it constitutional obligation2 It is
because that party is the chief holder
of the bonds, and has exempted them
from taxation. This exemption adds
greatly to the burdens imposed upon
the people at large, and not few, in
the North, are beginning to speak
out for taxation of the lands, or re.
pudiation of the debt. The Radicals
fear, too, the precedent established
by the reputation of the debt grow
ing out of the Revolutionary war,
and are conscious that the present
debt possesses not one Of those high
claims to be held as sacred obliga-
ton which belonged to the one that
was repudiated. The tyranny which
forced the reputation Of the Con-
federate debt may incline the popular
feeling, of the North, towards a sim
liar, but voluntary, disposal of the
Federal debt. 1t is not easy to rebut
the argument that reputation is as
just and honorable as the exemption
of the rich nd-holder from taxa
ton, whilst the burden, he ought to
bear, is laid upon the shoulders of
the poor farmer, mechanic and day.
laborer; nor is taxation without rep
resentation well calculated to impress
the sacredness of a pecuniary obliga-
ton upon people thus wronged.

ADMISSION OF TEsSEssEE,-Thc Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial says
Forty meiabers Of Congress have signed a
letter addressed to Governor Brownlow, OF
Tennessee, asking him to convene the Legis-
lsturc, for the ratification of the Constitu-
tional Amendment, which finally passed the
House on yesterday. If this be done by
Tennessee, it is most probable that her Con-
grcssional delegation will be admitted ere
for this session.
The Ohio delegation held a meeting this
evening at Mr.. Eggleston's rooms, to con-
slider the question of voting to Immediately
admit Tennessee.

The Columbus Sun finds the following
touching the burning Of Columbia, s. c., in
the indianapolis, Indiana, Journal:
son the return of Shermans army, two
regiments of it camped day and night on
the commons near our residence. The
soldiers engaged In free conversation, and rs
was natural made their grand march under
Sherman through the South, and particularly
the part Of it through South Carolina, the
theme Of narration. They stated that our
soldiers burned Columbia; that they desolated
as far as could be done, where they marched;
and, whether Columbia was burned by Sher-
mans order or not, they could not further say
than that it was burned by our soldiers, under
the order of their immediate commanders,
but whether they had orders from Sherman
or not, was only with them matter of in
ference"

Go IT, BILL Bill Stokes is try
ing hard to make it appear that Pres
ident johnson is traitor to the IN
ion party, whilst he, Bill, is still true
to it. He is successful in showing
that the President was an extremist,
in his feelings against the South,
but it is made clear now, that he is
still for the Union, whilst Bill is
against it. The difference between

STILL DoUBTs.-It is stated that
Chase still has doubts as to whether
martial law is entirely removed from
Virginia, and makes this assumed
doubt the ground for having moth
ing to do with the question of bail
ing Mr.. Davis. 1t is more probable
that he doubts whether a man of his
secession record hadn better "keep
dark" when that issue is raised in
the case of another man.

MISUNDERSTANDING the altera-
tons of the Federal Constitution
about to be submitted to the States
for ratification or rejection, is one
DISTINGUISHING, forever, the Office
holders who took part in the late
Confederacy. Is there a State in the
South, where the ballot is even par.
TALLY free, that will degrade itself by
endorsing a proposition, that its
ablest and most worthy citizens shall
forever be debarred the right to hold
any office, civil or military under the
United States, or under any State,
simply because they held Office at
the commencement of the WARP This
proposition is the grossest insult yet
offered to the South by the Radical
majority, and the State that would
accept it, would as readily endorse a
Constitutional amendment to insure
the hanging of JEFF Davis. OF course
we have no reference to West Vir-
ginia, Missouri, or Tennessee. The
virtue and intelligence and patriot
ism of these three fend ridden States
are powerless to vindicate justice and
political liberty but without them
there are enough to hurl back the
insult in the teeth of Congress, and
to rescue the honor of the South
from the cesspool of infamy into
which the Radicals seek to plunge it.
AS we have said before, Tennessee
will accept the proposition--or rath-
er the Legislature which assumes to
represent it, will do so. The MAORI
ity are the pups of the "big dogs"
at Washington, and as the latter
bark, so will the former.

loyal in Territory to "cut up" in
