Alas! Too True

The New York World of the 18th says:
'tNearly all the best men of the two national
parties in Tennessee-all the old leaders Of

such men as John Bell, Cave Johnson,

What Theu All Want.

It is the iRirmity of~the crowned heads
of Europe, just now. to be afflicted with
something more than the average wants"
of covetous mau--and to obtain those wants.
the most Of them are taking up arms. and
leading their subjects to mutual slaughter.
Let US see:
Prussia wants Holstein, and to diminish
the Austrian influence IN Germany.
Austria wants Holstein to be let alone,
and Count Bismark to mind his own bust
ness.
Victor Emanuel wants Venetia He also
wants the Emperor of Austria to take him
self out of Northern Italy altogether.
Louis Napolean wants the Rhine for 3
French frontier. He also wants to upset
the ''detested treaties" of 1915. He ex-
poets to have that want grstifed as soon as
opportunities offer, which, according to
present appearances, will not be long.
The Gar of Russia has little want, too
He wants a slice of Turkey, which would
add ths Moldo-Wallachian provinces to his
already huge territory. The Bear lie a
hungry, ravenous creature, but he never
springs until he is sure of his prey. Like
the Gallo Cook, he will be locker on at
the start. and only come into TIE ring when
the original eombatants are sOused up as to
be incapable of saying nay to him.
q The People have their wants, too, but
alas! their time isnot yet come. They are
the mere pawns on the chess board, and
must be content to "Want" nothing until
the Kings play out, to the end, their bloody
game When that will be, or what it will
be no man can tell, but it is worth living a
few years longer to see how the thing is
going to be played out.-Ladies' Home.

FRIDAY MORNING, JULY eth, 1856.
"Oh, the shamep p

DR.. Craven says that when twelve strong
men" had, by brute force, rivited heavy
shackles upon Jefferson Davis. after brief
period Of iusensibility the noble martyr
permitted his manacled feet to rest upon the
floor. of the cell. and when he heard the
clanking Of the letters he sudibly exclaim-
ed, ''Oh, the shame! the shame!P' But
the ''shame'' was that of the great nation
which permitted this vile act to pass un-
punished. The letters no more degraded
President Davis than the erucifxion did
the Savior Of mankind. or the offer of re-
ward for the head of Gen. George Wash
ingtou made him a traitor.
There was no ''shame," thank God, for
the poor, wasted prisoner hurled down and
bound by dozen men-nO "sbame" upon
the brave, noble people whose late Presi-
dent was thus outraged, but 'shame" as
enduring as history, red, burning and
scorching as the lightning of Heaven upon
those who thus brutally abused the power
of giant.
That deed Of infamy will live in, history
like the black crime of Judas, and the
'goodly company of torturers, tyraRts,
merciless jailors and brutal cOpquerors,
whom Dante describes in his "hgeraO, .
will have in due season appropriate addi-
lions to their "ardent circle" as the Parti7
cipants in that foul deed meet their fiery re-
wards.-Ladiss' Home. ..-- 10 GEE.

Radical violence

From the Nashville Gazette.
On Friday last our good city was startled
out Of propriety by the appearance of an
extra announcing the passage Of the Con-
stitutional Amendment by the Lower House
of the Tennessee Legislature o-called).
But upon learning the manner in which it
was (not) passed, our people could but
laugh in their sleeves at these Radical
madcaps, who, notwithstanding their avow-
ed yillainy, reckless defiance of all law, and
patent unscruPulOusness in regard to the
means employed, are still unable to accomp-
lish their nefarious designs. By Poetical
Justice the men are endowed with just sufi-
cient sense to know show not to do it, I"
compensated with an imbecile ignorance of
the futility of their action. -..
Thinking that they had quorum-nay
yoting that they had quorum-they do not
wait even to apprise the coordinate legis-
lative body of their supposed organization,
nor to read the Gubernatorial Message, in
virtue of which they are assembled. In
indecent haste, they close the doors and
proceed forthwith to their dirty work, some
impecunious member, however, edging in a
word about his per diem. No debate is al
lowed; DO discussion of the merits of a
proposed alteration (not amendment) of the
work of Washington, jefferson, and Madi-
son. The Speaker again declares that no
quorum is present. They virtually &C
knowledge the fact, by ordering the Ser
geant at arms to produce two prisoners
The ballot is taken; the prisoners refuse to
vote; the Speaker again declares no quorum
is present; the RAIDS Uote that quorum Is
present! they declare the Amendment Is
passed aud toss up their hats ia glee.--
Poor fools, they think the thing is done
| Isit? Or has all this haste, this violence
this lawlessness, this infamy, been ineffee'
tual? Bitter as the pill may be, they have
themselves compounded it, and ROEenS
Uoless, must swallow it, The amendmen
is not passed. Before becoming law i
must receive the signature of the presiding
officer of each branch of the Legislature
and even the Radicals must be aware tina
i Speaker Heiskell will never sign the docu
ment under the circumstances.
Again, prisoners cannot participate il
deliberative bodies. Such organization
presuppose freedom of action. Liberty il
their quickening principle, giving validity
to their decisions.
And to cap the climax, Judge Frazie
decides that these prisoners were held lille
4 gally-by violence, opposed to law. Car
laws be enacted IN virtue of the gross in
fraction of law? Can the law-makeIs 0
the State be allowed to break law in Orde
to make law? Here's a pretty mesh o
tackle for the RAIDS to unravel-a Gordiar
knot for the sword of the little Alexande
Of the Press and Times.

Trouble in New Orleans.

Events TRANSPORTING at New Orleans Gre
ate great excitement. Under the Civil
Rights law, Judge Abel Of the First Dis
trict Court, has been indicted, arrested and
held to bail, under charge of treason. It
appears that the Judge, in charge to the
Grand Jury, advised them to indict the
members of the Constitutional Convention
of 1864. These members, who patched up
the present Constitution Of Louisiana, pro-
pose to Reasonable aud review the instru-
ment. The object is to insert a clause dis
franchising the rebels, and enfranchis-
ing the negroes, and thus place the Radi-
Gals in possession of the State. tits claim
ed by the people that the Convention is de-
funct, and has no right to reassemble as a
legal body. Judge Abel takes that view
and thinks the members should be indicted
as revolutionists. The Civil Rights law
steps in and indicts him.-Mena. Ledger.

Alarmed.

The Radical papers pretend to fear that
President johnson eantemplates revolution.
They are dreadfully distressed. The 81.
Louis Democrat says; UNLESS the people
Of this country are warned in time, and pre-
pared to meet the danger, there will be an
attempt to revolutionize the Government,
and to put into power the men whose ban
ner went down in dust and blood at Apo
mattox."
The Chicago Iri5alss is equally alarmed.
1t proposes four methods of preventing
revolution: "a continuous session of the
Senate; an enabling act fixing the status of
rebel communities as territories; a bill
regulating removals from office. and the ad-
mission of Colorado and Nebraska Con-
gress seems to be in a similar state of trepi-
dalton. They have been debating the ex-
pedency of authorizing the presiding Off
Ger of the House to call it together upon the
happening of certain contingencies. This
action looks to revolution, but whether on
the part of the President or Congress. is q
matter for the public to conjecture. Thad.
Stevens has failed, however, to get his reso-
luton through AenapAis Ledger.
