THE TEN YE,All PLAN.

The Detroit Free Press (Cop) processes 10
bc very lappy at the prospect Of tho adop-
ton by Congress Of the ten year plan Of re-

negro suffrage, can be SO easily beaten, II
also processes to feel much righteous wratl.

postponing negro suffrage len years, within
whicl, time 1t doubts not 1t can be again post

dwelling so long on the subject, has accom-

M coherent? II the Congressional
policy will enable the Copper

I don't, because I've read his works
There are some good points, however, as
there ought to be In such mass OF "Terbiaee.
Lord Rector Tom Carlyle advises students
and others to learn not to cram; piece of
counsel somewhat old, but which, nevertLe-
lesz, will bear repetition, especially when
coming from man who has stuffed himself to
bursting with Tcutoulrlsms which won't di.
gcst, but stick out all over him like too many
potatoes In too small a sack. Between the
two occupations Of reading md doing moth.
ing, says the new-fausled Rector, reading is
not always the preferable one !; there are good
books and bad books, more especially on hts
torical subjects, md you are to avoid the lat
ter and only choose the good. We are not M
formed, however, how we can choose without
FIRST reading then, unless the Lord Rector is to
select for us, which would doubtless be good
thing for Ills publisher, and put stop to so
much Of that reading which Is represented BY
the Rector to be of1entimcs worse than doing
nothing. Mr.. Carlyle wound up with trims

par,ucnt, st cost price, all the articles Of
subsistence It could furnish. As To the case
and distinction, It is well known that he sue
cccdcd in keeping his name before the peo-
pie, about as successfully as any man who
ever lived {; nnd, as to ease, 1t would puzzle
the keencst discerner to ascertain what draw.
hack there was to the profouEdcst case. The
labor attending his position was very slight
so much 50, indeed, that he had ample time
10 intrrfssc constantly with such petty mat
tcrs as the occupation aud assignment Of

possession Of grounds aud quarters, abso.
lutcly essential for the use of the army.
"Thcre the enemy could be reached and
mems lives were in dangcr!" Nashville was
twice, during the time he was here, in state
Of siege; once, In 1sGc, by O small force OF the
enemy left By General Bragg on lis movement
into Kentucky and again in December, 1864,
by General Hood. In the first case, not sin.
gle life vas either lost or really endanecd.
and the mere approach Of the returning army
under Rosecraus was enough to brush AWAY
nil Show Of danger. In the second case there
might have been danger had General Thomas
been defeated; but that was contingency as
remote as the recognition of the Southern
Con.cdcracy now Is. The life Of every inhabi-
tant OF Washington, Philadelphia, Cincinnati,
Louisville and st. Louis was as really and
truly in danger Ct some period Of the war as
Andrew Johnson's was In Nashville. There
was one short period, in July, 1866, when only
small garrison was IN the town, and Forrest
aud Morgan occupied all the lines of commu-
n1cation. There did seem danger Of its cap
ture then; but during that time Audrew
johnson was Invisible. Nowhere, either in
the Capitol, or the public Streets, wns he seen
hy living soul, until long after oil danger
had passed, aud u large and well appoint cd
garrison, with adequate fortitlcatIons, made
the place as secure US 1t well could be.
1t has passed into history, and Is generally
believed, that Andrew johnson caused this
city to be fortified aud held in 1862, aud that
nnly by his vigorous conduct WAS Gen. Bucll
induced to leave here troops and means o.
defence. A most dramatic account Ia given
OF the interview, and how he declared thai
