The Nashville Press and Times, one Of the
most sulphuric Of the so-cslied radical sheet,
in the country, says: ..ar...s .r6a
'"Ris time that loyal jou-nals should ceast
talking Of the importance Of an early ratU
cation Of the constitutional amendment b,
Johnson's rebel State governments. There
Is no State government in the South, outside
Of this State, to ratJty the amendment"
And thus the poor devils lately in rebel.
lion are first taunted with having refused (ss
States) the terms offered them in the consti-
tutionsl amendments, and then are told that
they are not States and have no right TO
ratify the amendments. The radical doc
trines are chsnssd 20 often to meet the re-
quirements Of party that the non-sdmitted
States can hardly know where to find the
radical party and its policy" II the non
constructed people should undertake the
pursuit Of the radicals, and by forced march
reach the spot where thsy last encsmped,

for inculcsting and cultivsting ell the senti-
ments and arts which appertain to the last
named condition But the radicals either
would not or could not see it. They pretend
that they cannot see II yet o. ua .. -.
During the recent Presidential tour the
distinguished Secretary referred in one Of his
speeches to the fact that he had often been
thought wrong, and might be thought wrong
again IL he should, in this peculiar frame Of
the public mind, say: Blessed are the peace
makers, for they shall be called the children
Of Cod and yet this bsnedictioa Is an essen
tial appendage to the higher law; that state
Of peace Is indispensable to the further de-
velopment Of all the interests which contrib
ute to our prosperity and happiness" When
a radical in the audience sneeringly remarked,
That pedce-makiny business may be right
enough IN itself, but I s,oo,o 1 can't saoalsr

tute to the war, ct cost Of thousand dol
lars, and instructed him to kill all the rebels

Peace is the requirement Of to-day Of the
higher law. The Constitution demands II,
and the material and spiritual interests Of the
whole country require it. The people are

II there is any future for the Republic
some respect must be paid to the higher
law. Antipathies, animosities and revenges
must be made to give way to nobler i'm

ish. Men with souls to be saved or lost ought
to be capable Of rising into higher scale Of
being, where notions ofright or wrong prevail.

MORE CANDIDATEs.-The friend.
of Jno. T. Cameron have prevailed
upon him to offer himself once more
as a candidate for Probate Clerk
MIR. Cameron, in times agone; filed
this Office for about twenty-one con-
secutive years. The only objections
we ever heard urged against him
were, that che had had the office too
long and, besides, he had a planta
tation and forty negroes The first
objection is certainly a compliment
to him, as, to have held the office so
long, he must have been very CON-
petent officer and, as to the sec.
ond, if he once had forty negroes,
which is exceedingly doubtful, he
has MT got "narry Niger" now.
Mr.. J. j. Crane is also candidate
for Probate Clerk. He is well edu.
Gated young man, of fine business
qualifications, splendid penman,
and if elected would no doubt fill the
office acceptably to all.
In the meantime, there is the pres
ent incumbent; Mr.. Ward, always at
his post, and Of whom we have never
heard a complaint. Whoever is elect
cd acill hare him to beat.
The Office of County Treasurer,
also, is not "going off, SO easily as
was at first supposed. Jeems NJ. will
have to estir round and sl axe hands
lively. Caleb Rais again in the ring,
and is 'some alta froIic, and in an elec
ion has twice proved himself fast
having "game" as well as "bottom."
If We wanted to be custodian OF the
county funds, we believe we would
compromise with Hill at 81 per cent.
The race for Sheriff, too, promises
o be interesting. 1t they run it
trough as it nov stands, triangular
