Negro Suffrage or War-It is no exag-
geration to say that the issues between the
Conservatives and Radicals is narrowing
down TO negro suffrage or war This is a
startling fact, and it is best to look it in the
face at once and provide for eventualities.
The signs thicken in the North, and cast
their shadows over the South The people
Of our section, it is to be hoped, will es,
cape the horrors of another civil war The
contest Is to be determined on Northern
ground, and peacefully, gloriously, we trust.
We are party TO the controversy Just as q
prisoner IS who Is being tried for an offense,
and in the disposition of his case has no
voice whatever. Quiet but steady, would be
a good motto for our people. After having
expressed the gratitude we feel for the Presi-
dents efforts in our behalf, and after hurting
back the satanic ISLANDERS eoncocted, pointed
and poisoned for our destruction, we can do
little more without inhicting on our own
cause an injury As the Northern people
have placed US in this attitude. and then d.
vided upon the disposition to be made Of US,
we can only be, until the question is deter
mined, anxious spectators of the contest If
they drift into civil war, the fault can not be
charged to the South.-AelRphis Ledger

GLooNY.-There is no denying the fact
that dangers still surround our national pros
perity. Political parties in the northern
States are assuming threatening attitudes;
the one claiming to hold that the life Of the
nation depends upon the preservation Of the
old constitution, while the other as stoutly
insists that it is a useless fossil, unfit for the
present or any future occasion. One claims
that Congress and Thad. Stevens is right,
the other that Andrew johnson is the true
patriot It is useless to enumerate here in
detail, the differences of opinion now perva-
ding the northern mind suffice it to say that
the conservatives are determined to yield
no part of the old constitution, while the
radical faction are for laying it aside alto
gether. High words, and low ones, too, are
being freely used, and there is no little dan
ger but what blow may be struck that viii
fan into life flame Of devastation and hor-
ror never before known in the nineteenth
century. The voiceless South deplores the
controversy but calmly awaits the coming
struggle.

VaHdity Of Deeds for Land Sold for
Confederate Money-Importan Decision
The Warrenton Sentinel contains the fol-
lowing report of an interesting and impor-
tant case-Stewart and Palmer vs. Han
back An action of unlawful detainer:
This is an action instituted by the plain
tiffs to recover the possession of a tract of
land called Wayerly, a mile and half from
this place The trial of the case has en-
gagged the attention Of the court for the last
three days, and the main point in the case
was as to the validity of deed executed by
r. NJ Smith to the plaintiffs in June, 1868
the consideration of which was Confederate
money.
Hanback, entered upon the possession of
the land in 1862, and held it as the tenant
of Smith Smith sold and conveyed to the
plaintiffs by the deed of June, 1868 The
question upon the deed was raised by the
defendants counsel by motion to exclude
! it as evidence from the jury, and was elab-
orately argued by Messrs. Helm and Hun
ton for the defendant and by Messrs Tuck
er and Shackleford for the complainants-
the court overruled the motion to exclude,
and allowed the deed to 60 to the jury. The
result Of this ruling settles the law, so far
as this court IS concerned In favor of the
validity of deeds for land sold for Confed-
crate money during the war.
The jury rendered verdict for the plain
tias. We understand the case viii be car
ried up to the Court Of Appeals.

The case of J. j. Polk, administrators, etc,
against the heirs and distributes Of the
estate Of Archer Pledge, deed, came up for
hearing at the last term of the Chaneery
Court for Hardeman county upon the re-
port of Col e. C. Crisp, former clerk and
master Of the said court It appears that
in March, 1881, the master was ordered to
sell, among other things, a lot Of slaves be-
longing to the heirs of the Pledge estate,
and report to the August term, 1861. The
masters report was made directly after the
sale, and was ready for confirmation at the
August term, 1861. No court was held at
the August term, 1861, on account Of the
absence of the Chancellor. J. J. Puiliam
bought five negroes at said sale, in March,
1861, for whom he executed his note with
security to the master, due at twelve months
for five thousand and odd dollars, and took
the negroes Immediately after the close of
the biddings into his possession, carried
them home and kept them as his slaves until
by a change in the Constitution Of Tennes-
see they were emaneipated. On account of
the war no court was held after 1861 until
1866. At the February term, 1866, the
masters report having been supplied (the
original having been destroyed at the burn
ing of the courthouse and public square by
the Federal troops in 1864 was again
ready for confirmation by the Chancellor,
but the cause was continued without action
until the September term 1866. At this
term it again came up for confirmation,
when Pulliam, by his solicitor, objected to
its confirmation on the ground that it was
an erecutoIy and not an executed contract
that, inasmuch as the report of the clerk
and master had not been confirmed, no title
had passed that although the negroes had
been in PulIiam's possession for number
Of years, yet the legal title to them was IN
the Pledge heirs, and they having ceased tc
be property by law before Pulliam had an
absolute title to them, Pulliam and his secu
rites were not bound for them.
In all this, inequitable as it may seem
the Chancellor sustained the objections O
Pulliam's solicitor. Was it any fault of the
former clerk and master that this report o
sale was not confirmed and title decreed
By no means. Was there anything lacking
on the part of the Pledge heirs or the ad
ministrator to complete the title Nothing
Now, waving the equity, what is the con
sequence of this decision? Simply this
The estate of Archer Pledge is bal1h7upted
not by any default on their part or on the
part of the executive officer of the law
Such decision as that above indicated
based upon merely legal grounds, migh
have been expected in court Of law, bu
from court of equity, whose province it !:
to look to and protect the rights and inter
ests of minors, and to guard the weak from
the hardships of fraud, accident, and mis-
take-from such a court we had little reason
to expect such a decision. We learn tina
the decision of his Honor has been appealed
from by the administrator, j. J. Polk

The ONLY REsoRT-If the fall elections
in the northern States result the same as the
recent contests did in Vermont and Maine,
no peaceable measures can shield the people
Of the South from negro suffrage. In case
the radicals do succeed and force their hate
full measures upon us, one resort will still be
left US. Let no man employ a negro, and
the pettied freedmen" viii be compelled to
go north for employment This line Of policy,
if universally acted out, win be the means
Of bringing about reaction and terrible
retributiye justice. Men who refuse to al
low the negro a vote in Ohio or Connecticut,
are more than willing that he should be
clothed with the elective franchise in the
South. IF the negro cannot procure work
here or lands to till, he will be compelled to
seek home elsewhere, and as a matter of
course, viii turn his face towards the north
ern States. This will have its effect. The
Inoment that freedmen begin, to cross the
Ohio river that moment he will cease to be a
hobby for narrow minded politicians.

On last Tuesday there were sixty-two
deaths in Memphis from cholera We are
credibly informed that the disease is on the
decrease now, and, it is thought, should the
good weather which Memphians are now en-
jOying hold on for few days longer, that
the disease will almost if not entirely dis
appear in short time. We earnestly hope
that cur big sister will be spared further raw
ages, and that good health may again nestle
on her fair proportions. Do not believe one
half of the absurd stories that are told about
the epidemic in Memphis. The city papers
