SENSIBLE AND WELL-TMED QUEs-
T1oNs.-The New York Times should
he needed by the radicals when it
puts such questions as the following
to them. None more important could
occupy the attention of the thinking.
men of the country: =
Suppose matters to stand in 1868
substantially as they stand to-day
none of the Southern States repre-
sented in Congress- Is it not reason
ably certain that they will Ill be
represented i'll the Democratic Ma
tlonal Nominating Convention, and
THAI they will choose electors who will
vote Tor the Democratic nominecso .
Now, suppose their votes, together
with those of the Northern States
that may vote the Democratic ticket.
constitute the Electoral COLLEGE,.
What will be the result? 1t may he
said their votes will not be counted.
Congress, containing only Northern
members-the South not being repre-
sented IN twill reject them. VIII
that rejection be accepted Nv tho
country? Will the mass ii The
Southern people, or the mass of the
Democratic party in the North, ac
qniesce in it? And would not such
resistance be most mcnacing TO tho
peace of the country? That would
not be an attempt ut secession: it
would be in no sense q sectional con
tiict; it would present to the country
and the world the aspect Of majori-
ty of the people insisting upon their
right to control the Government aS
against the unconstitutional uslrra
tl9n of the minority We ,o not
bring this matter forward now for
the purpose of discussing the merits
of the question that would thus arise.
But the contingency is too probable
to be wisely ignored. No prudent
or patriotic man will blinly rush
lnto complications of 80 formidable
and perilous q character.

Hogs are said frequently to cut
their own own throats when swim
ming, anda parallel to these perform
ances is to be found in the Legislative
projects of the radicals. In seeking
to impose duty Of five cents per
pound on cotton, they were no doubt
under the impression that the South
alone, and not the North, would have
to pay it. That there should be such
lamentable ignorance of the first
principles of political economy does
not surprise us, when we recall what
other follies this party has been
guilty of. Have they yet to learn
that every tax is paid by the con
sumer, and is so much added to the
cost of production? And, rs most
cotton is consumed ut the North con
trary to the calculation of the ralica!
wlseacres, most Of this tax will be
paid by that section; to which, of
course, we raise no objection, bet
only congratulate ourselves that the
bitter will be bitten, and the radicals
caught i'll their own trap, lin the I'M
position Of this tax, if it Shall uit;
mately become law.
But whether tho North or the
South had to pay the larger portion
OF such tax as this, there is one re-
Election of which no wise or honest
legislator would ever lose sight-that
no fiscal or other measures proposed
by Congress can ever affect one sec
ton without affecting, either directly
or indirectly, the other. If cotton
tax as onerous Us tho ono we have
been commenting upon would fall
alone upon the South, the simple
effect would be to diminish the pro
dnction of this great staple, in the
creation Of which the North is rs
much, if not more, interested than
we. How short-siShteI and foolish,
then. is the desire to put manacles
npon tins great source Of national
prosperity, which war and emancipa-
ton have already brought sufficiently
low. Radical wisdom and then plans
to raise revenue would be greatly as
sisted by IN attentive perusal Of
4Esop's Fables. Rtchnaoln Times.

TOBACCO.

IS no crop grown in Kentucky involves interesh
to the extent that tobacco does, we have thoughts
few reflections on the subject might be Of interest
10 our patrons.
II may be seen by reference TO New York crcu.
lars that the crops of 1857, So. SO and So were
respectively 23S,0oo, 2l7,000, 1900 and 207.-
900, hogsheads, averaging 2270o0 hogshcads. u
viii be noticed that this was the quantity delivered
at points whence il shipped and delivered for
consumption. The largest estimate for this crop 70
reach the seaboard is c5,0oo hogshead, which is .
fra tion over orc fourth Of the average crops four
years before the war Ii viii he remarked TINT
Virginia alone, prior to the war; raised annually
this amount or more.
By reference to European and American circu-
lars il will be seen that the stock on hand te lst
December 1866, was II 9sl4 hogshcads; add crop
to go forward 65, 600, md we have ls5,ol4 hogs
heads for eighteen months supply, that time
must expire before the crop of S66 will he fit for
use, This qr2aaty, compared with other years
s1portaion and consumption Is not over half sup.
ply. The average crop before the war, 227;009
ho, s'leads, add leaf TO make eighteen months ey-
portation and consumption, and we want 3i0,5oQ
hogsheads for that time; had tobacco not boon con-
spmed nearly or quite as fast as produced We would
now have a stock beyond consumption The caus.
es of this diminntion in production are various;
the most potent. however, is the demoralized con-
diton OF labor with no abatement OF the evil, as
the negroes seem to have n mania for town and
cities. II may be argued that VIC will have SUBJ
stitltes to compete with. This We think hardly
likely, as we are assured that less tobacco was
grown in Europe last year than formerly. This
seems quite reasonable, the low prices ruling for
the kinds of tobacco usually snppanted would SUI
persede the inducement necessity to raise sub-
stituies. II will be by reference to the prices
current that the low grades Of tobacco rules cheap

There is no city of the population and inn
portance Of Nashville, that has not better
organized system for preserving health. In
fact beyond Pest House for the reception Of
patients with contagious diseases, and gen.
eral street cleaning in superficial way, we
may be said to have no hygienie establish
ment or means whatever.
Now this is not as il should be- and ought
10 be promptly remedied. 1t behooves our
city government to take it promptly in hand.
To say that the city treasury.is not able to
supply the means of putting on foot proper
sanitary measures, is no valid reason why it
is not done. The citizens are taxed to fur
nish treasury, and IL money, and the skill,
knowledge, and appliances that Il can pur-
chase, has any proper municipal use, it is
for protection against pestilence. and epide-
mics, and disesse--generating causes Of all
sorts. The treasury is munifciently used
TO protect against fire, to supply water,
to keep streets In order, to maintain police,
and to sustain public schools-laudable and
necessary objects all of them--but will any
one say, that either one is more necessary,
than proper and thorough system Of free
ing the city from filth, and Of providing the
means by which the general health may be
preservedi We think not.
In view of the approaching summer and
what in the opinion Of many the signs fore
token, we urge that the City Council shall
take active hold Of this matter; and We
do not 90 further than the judgements or the
pockets Of our citizens viii warrant when
we say they win endorse the establishment Of
thorough and complete system in every
respect. as
We do not think 10 necessary to argus. in
behalf Of the necessity Of this measure. This
brief notice is to arouse attention to the
subjsci, and we repeat, that our city officials
need have no fear Of doing too much In re-
gard to this matter. If the city treasury is
overstrsined, let some present expense be
cnrssiled, in order that they may take proper
care sf the public health. Il is the prime
necessity.
We shall recur to this subject again.

We extract from the New York Evening
Post the following allegory, admirably illus
trative of great cardinal principle.
The question involved is destined TO be-
come a most important one in this country !;
il is by no means new one, but il is going
to assume different shape; and being one
Of the most interesting and intricate In the
whole range Of political economy, II win re-
ceive large share OF public attention. 1t
has taxed the intellects Of the very first
political science to comprehend il, and has
manyssble names arrayed on both sides, At
one tisne, 1t came near doing for this coun-
try what the slavery question has since done.
There is no likelihood that earnest differ
ence Of opinion in regard to il, even to the
point Of acrimony, will render such result
again imminent; but it win certainly be
leading political issue. II will readily be
seen, that the antagonis,ic ideas Of protection
and free trade are here presented in a
striking view:

Finally we established a protective union. by
which We drove them from our country, and
were able 20 keep all Of the cocosnufs 70 our
selves.
Some Of the foolish monkeys thought we might
have exchanged our fruit for the red caps and
baked ehesnnts Of our neighhorS but we knew
better. and declined 70 use anything which We did
not rise or make ourselves. The consequences
