TRAITORS!

The Radical B. H's are just now re-
joicing over the Negro triumph in
Tennessee. They rejoice that l25,OOO
white men are disfranchised, reduced
to slavery, whilst $1,000 Negroes are
made free and rulers of the State. Re
publicans! do you share the iendish
malignity of these Radical demons in
human shape, who thus would degrade
and destroy your own color and blood?
1t cannot be! The men who glory in
the enslavement of white people
through the political elevation of the

GENERAL SGcKLEs, Commander of
the Carolinas, lives in great state in
Charleston. He appears on the
streets on pleasant afternoons in q
carriage, driving four splendid black
horses with elegant silver mounted
harness. He generally has his daugh-
ter beside him, and servant in livery
behind. This splendid establishment
attracts the unbounded enthusiasm of
the negro population, it is said. Well,
if the people are willing to throw away
their money for such things, it's all
right. We think, however, that they
will get tired of it before long.

THE Baltimore Sun thus dispose.

THE Baltimore Sun thus dispOses of
the Tennessee election" so-caIied:
"Four fifths of the white voters of
Tennessee have been disfranchised and
the black men have taken their places.
In some counties there were
not as many white voters as there were
offices to be filled, and in others the
Governor set aside the registration
where it was not agreeable to him."
Shout, yeglorious sticklers for free
dom and equality! Below till your
throats crack! Such a triumph is wor-
thy of such party!

The WASHINGTON LIBR AIRY Com
PANY of Philadelphia, gains credit
and support every day. The sales of
stock surpass all expectation, and the
prospect is, that the funds for the noble
object will be secured even in advance
of the time anticipated. The reason
is obvious. The design is worthy and
creditable to the patriotic hearts who
are laboring to reward too much neg
lected class. The funds 60 into re-
sponsible hands, and the public have
no fears that they will be mis-directed.
The plan adopted satities the scruples
of the most conscientious, and has the
endorsement entofeminentlega of authority.
1t is by its distinctive features entirely
removed from The taint of catch-penny
schemes which have so often been the
means of imposing on the public. 1t
gives to purchasers of its stock full
equivalent tor the consideration paid.
All its transactions are open and above
board. 1t has no coDcealnlents, ana

separate proposition of negro equality in the
matter of suffrage his fate as a Presidential
candidate depends. The impression seems to
prevail, however, that this proposition will be
rejected by the people of Ohio, and by de-
cided majority against it, like that in Connec-
ticut two years ago. If it shall so turn out in
the model radical State of Ohio, and in spite
of that heavy drawback to the Democracy,
Vallandigham, then we may say that not only
the Presidential fight, but Congress will be
fairly warned to choose between return to the
Constitutional amendment, which it has aban-
doned, and the alternative of an overwhelming
defeat in 1868 upon Mr.. Chase's financial sys-
tenn, and upon the equally untenable ground
of universal negro suffrage and negro SUI
premacy.

Mexico.
EOm @e N. " Tribune.

pIOW Hto W. II LTtObftes
For the first time in fifty years Mexico is at
peace. Since Iturbide, in 1921, declared the
country independent, and made good the claim,
its history is one of uninterrupted civil war.
President succeeded President, Dictator fol-
lowed Dictator; the success of any chieftain
created a dozen rivals, and the Government
was no sooner set up by one faction than 1T
was pulled down by another. The victor
banished or executed the conquered, only to
find himself in short time the victim of his
own revengeful policy. No administration was
safe from revolt; no leader dared trust his
comrades; the army was now the instrument OF
Guerrero, now of Santa Anna, now of Busta-
mente. Quiet there was none for the country;
it was either at war, or preparing for war, and
the only periods during which internal strife
was suspended were those of the Spanish in
vasion, and the aggression OF the United
States. The condition of the nation was, in
deed, desperate when it could only be saved
from running itself by the necessity of repelling
its foes, and when the advance OF a foreign
army was the only hope of union and peace at
home. The causes of this perpetual strife are
evident. Mexico had never succeeded in re-
eoneiline her different races; the people were
united for self-gOveTnment, and assumed all
the dangers of a Republic without the ability

debt which had been incurred through the
crime of these same Rebels. Some MEM

OUR STATE UNIVERSITIES.
From the Knoxville Commercial, 24th.


By an act of Congress sixty-one years
ago the State of Tennessee received l00,-
600 acres of land in trust for two State
Universities or Colleges. East Tennessee
College (now University by new charter)
and Nashville University were designated
by the Legislature, and ought to have re-
ceived the full benefit of the grant.
But the lands were of the best quality
and squatters on them became a political
power, and in the course of time had their
titles perfected by legislative enactment.
Thus, in brief, were the two colleges de-
priyed of large portion Of their funds.
Should not the State now assist them
Both have hourishing schools and both
lack means to supply their schools with
necessary teachers, libraries and apparatus.
If no assistance can be rendered they can
not hope to retain their pupils and gradu-
ate them. Pupils will go where they can
have more advantages in studying the
higher branches. But it may be answered,
the State is now embarrassed in its finances
and cannot, in justice to itself render any
assistance. But we answer, the Legisla-
ture can assist the State Universities withr
out, for the present, touching the treasury.
First, the Agricultural College scrip, lies
unappropriated. This ought to go to the
State Universities and support agricultural
departments. The necessary buildings and
Libraries and apparatus, as well as lands,
being already furnished, the fund is ample
for the support of such departments. A
bill is now before the Legislature for
establishing an Agricultural College in
connection with Union University at Muir
freesboro. Is il not wiser to maintain the
State Universities already under the
patronage of the State than TO appropriate
this fund in the direction of establishing or
supporting some new or unknown institu-
ton?
