POLICE AFFAIRs.-Last evening DR.. Paul M.
brennan and two other men, named Francis
and Owens, were before Alderman Beitler,
charged with lighting in a bar-room in the
ne'2hborhood of Eighth and Chestnut streets. II
appears that Francis and Ovens met DIR. Bren-
nan at the Continental Hotel, and after some
Conversation the trio walked down to Eighth
and Chestnut streets TO take drink. While in
the barroom a difficulty occurred between
Brennan and Francis, and both parties were
tors cane taking conspicuous part in the
melee. Francis, II is alleged, interfered in the
affair and came in for his share of punishment.
The police made their appearance when the
hight was at its height, and the entire party
we're conveyed to the Central Station, where.
alter hearing Francis and Owens were held
IN $1,000 bail to answer, and Brennan was held
in $500 bail TO keep the peace Each Of the
Contestants showed marks of rough usage, Bren-
nan being severely cut in the forehead

DIsFRAECHIsEMENT Is TENNESSEE -
The New York Times, of the l9,h,
takes from a contemporary the following
fact, which il says illustrates the operas
ton Of the disfranchising principle in
Tennessee. 1t would not be difficult,
we believe, to find hundreds Of similar
anomalies under the working of the
system in force in that State
"A firm in Nashville, one Of the
largest and most respectable mercantile
houses in the West, paying annually
many thousand dollars of taxes, has, in.
Guiding clerks, six persons employed in
the concern besides the porter, who is
a negro. The latter is now the only
one Of the whole concern who is allow
ed vote under the present Brownlow
Constitution. The poin: Of the joke is,
that the negro was the bitterest
rebel Of all, and was an officer 3
servant in the late rebel army, and
when fighting by his masters side, he
was the third man over the ramparls of
Fort Pillow. where he fell like an aveng.
ing thunderbolt upon the negroes-wLo
so gallantly surrendered that strong
hold"

centuns of their debts annually would
hare afforded the relief 90 much desired.
Bat this measure was voted down by
the opposition, and another. measure,
which was denounced AZ unconstitutjon.
al, was forced upon the Legislature, and
the Court of Errors has since decided il
to. be unconstitutional. These facts
show that both the Legislature and the
Court are against the debtor class, and
that there is no hope for them, from
either, as at present constituted. The
people will, no doubt, take care Of their
Representatives at the next fall cleo
tions but by that time it is to ba feared
that all the harm will have. been done,
and that no measure Of relief can be
devised 70 meet the exigency. II may
then be too late for the people to 4" seize
the helm for any practical good
But they toiH i" seize the helm" and In
the desperation of despair, though II
may be, they will teach those who have
neglected their interest and abused the
trust confideG to them, lesson which
they will long remember. Instead OF
using the pruning knife, they may take
up the axe and lay it to the root. Ex.
treme measures may be resorted to ;
measures which may bring in % greater
conflict than, ever the legislative and
Judicial departments Of the Government.
This is an issue TO be deprecated except
in case Of great public necessity, when
powerhas been usurped, and the safety
Of the State put in jeopardy. But il is
with States as with individuals-self-
preservation lie the first law Of nature.
In times Of extreme peril and suffering
the Roman maxim may be applied,
Saius popai supremd est ler. Aud it
will be we'll, pfebaps, in view Of this
maxim, that in this our winter Of dis.
content" when a night Of gloom has
settled upon our country with
scarce a ray Of hope to iilumine the fu>
ture, that all the departments of the
Government should look in the future
more carefully than some OF them have
done, in the past, to the interest and

may not be, in the sense often claimed
for it, Uor Del, but our system Of gov.
eminent rests upon this pos,uIate 90 far
as its powers are concerned. And when
once barred for the conflict the avenging
arm Of the people is powerful for good
or evil. They have the power, and il
IS their solemn duty 10 correct abuses
in the administration Of the govern.
ment, to hold their servants to strict
account Of their stewardships, and to re
buke those who have ignorant!y or will
fully betrayed their interests and sscrf-
feed their happiness, and it remains to
be seen whether they will exercise this
power end perform this duty.

The southern enterprise. [volume] (Greenville, S.C.) 1854-1870, 1867-02-28

Two organizations have been formed
in New York for the relief of the des.
titute in the South. The Tim es is sup.
porting the movement with its whole
influence, and if it sticks at it long
enough, it will doubtless effect much.
In one of its editorials on the subject is
found the following language:
The Southern papers reproduced the
vengeful utterances of malignant and
stony hearted men and newspapers of
the extreme Anti Southern party, and
these were accepted as evidences of the
spirit that dominated :he hearts of the
Northern people. 1t must not be pu.
to the discredit Of the South that hu-
man feeling still exists there, and that
the character of the once proud race,
now defeated and wrecked, has yet in
it touch Of the, old pride. Naked
and hungry, they have batlled for years
with the giant power of the North, and
has suffered and bled until they fell
with exhaustion. To continue 10 suffer
and perish seemed at last to be their
doom, and as in war they had borne it
uncomplainingly, so in peace they en-
dured it with hardly a murmur.

Vendees not Liable on Notes Given
for Purchase Of Slaves.

Judge Gates, Of Louisiana, has de-
cided that in contracts Of sale there are
m utual obligations-,hat Of the seller
10 deliver and variant the things sold
and its peaceable possession that CT the
buyer to accept the delivery and pay
the price-and that the logical sequence
Of the action Of the State in emancipat>
ing slaves must be, that when the right
Of property in that which had hereto.
fore been treated as such by the laws
is destroyed, the laws to regulate the
right Of parties to that property, and to
enforce payment Of obligations given for
it, must follow the fate Of the property
itself, and all contracts based upon those
laws be annulled. -.
Judge Gates holds that the tenure by
which this species Of property was held
was different from that by which all
other property is held. 1t was not bas-
ed, he says, on natural law; and the
right Of liberty was pre.exis:ing right
which belonged to the person held as a
slave, however much, public policy and
the supposed interest, Of the country may
have prevented the enforcement Of tha,
right by the person claiming it. But
when the sovereign power Of the State
intervened to recognize and enforce that
right, it cannot be said that the prop.
erty was destroyed by any fortuitous
event.
Government cannot say that tract
ofland, which is property by the laws
Of nature, shall no longer be property.
1t can appropriate it for public use by
eompensating the owner, but il still
possesses the qualify Of property. But
3 slave once emancipated, can, by, no
subsequent act Of the Government, be
legally held as a slave. He loses all
the essential characteristics Of property,
and becomes free by virtue Of the en-.
forcement Of his natural and pre- exist
ing right Of liberty. r..
The French Government recognized
this principle, when in 1889 it sbolish-
ed the feudal rights without indemnity.
and enacted a law 10 the effect that all
suits instituted and not decided by final
judgment, relative. to feudal rights,
should be extinguisbed, (cfents) and
consequently that ell arrsarages due by
the vassais could not be collected by
process Of law .--Montgomery Mail.

NORTH CAKoLrNA.-The Raleigh
Sentinel says the measures Of popular
relief passed by the North Carolina
Legislature have proved Intellectual, or
inadequate, and that the members met
in conference on Friday last, to devise
some additional sxpedient. The Sen,i.
mel adds: -,
@From all parts Of the State, we
learn that, under the stay law Of the
convention, creditors are putting their
claims in suit. In some Counties. there
are from 500 to 1000 >writs returnable

the remotest prospect of max

A few nights ago, our informant goes
on to state, the Sheriff of Pitt County
was riding near the town Of Greenville,
having in his possession a number OF
papers returnable to the epring term Of

force, and stripped Of all documents

They were so disguised as to preclude
any possibility of detection, and, as yet,
no clue has been found to implicate any
Of the offenders.

wrought by the war, and are app-ehen-

AN APT ILLUsTRArIoN.-The Hon.
A. Ii. Ward, Of KY, in a speech before
Congress- narrated the following as an
illustration of what condition tn eSouth-
ern States would be after they shall
have passed through the :" course Of
sprouts prepared fer them by the Radical
party: -
There was man once came to my
neightorhood and preached what he
called the doctrine Of restoration in ref
erence TO higher and better world.
He said that all sinners would finally
be restored to walk the streets of the
New Jerusalem {; but he said they would
first have to go 10 the place of perdi>
tion, the pit that burns. with fire and
birthstone, and stay there until they had
expiated all their sins. An old man
who was present and heard him, one
who was noted more for his straight
forward and blunt language than for
his piety, got up and said: why
brother, after. have been in that sul>
phur and fire burning long enough 10
have my sins burned ont of me, don't
you think l would be a id pretty
singe cat TO 60 to heaven? [Great
laughter. And that is what the gem
tleman is pleased TO call perfection Of
the Republic.
