Saws leading Northern Radical journal,
&" What is Conservatism? What is il that
the South labors TO conserve and what
is her present conception Of Conservatism
We know what it was in 1854, in 1850, ID
1861, in 1866 but what is il in 1867 and
what does il promise TO be in 1868?
The principle Of Conservatism is the
same yesterday to-day and forever. Its
practical application varies with circum-
stances. Its purpose is always the main
tenance Of whatever has approved itself
wise and beneficial, and the rejection Of
the doubtful, the spurious, and the evil
1t opposes sudden, violent, and destruc-
tive changes Il does not follow im-
pulses. Ii waits on reflection and juds-
ment 1t prefers the results Of expe-
rience to theories however plausible or
welI,intended. 1t is not blended with
novelty Ii has no idea that mounte>
bank and his disciples in religion science,
government or what not, know more than
the boarded wisdom of the past 1t is
the sworn enemy Of shams Of all sorts.
Il is inclined to doubt everything that is
Wanted as reform and progress,
and Aine times ont Of ten it is right
This is Conservatism in the abstract
Conservatism in American politics, at
the present time, is opposition to Radi-
calism, which is a stupendous and fright
fnl sham--a thing that mouths of freedom
while IL FORCES chains-that under the
name Of repnblicanism, is erecting a
despotism--that in the mask Of philan-
thropy, pursues the ends Of cupidity-
that pretending to be the defender Of law,
makes its will the supreme law-that
claiming 10 be the especial guardian Of
the Union, has kept the government dis
united for more than two years
that swears to support constitution
whose mandates and prohibitions it
daily yiolates--that has cast to the
winds the maxims of government sane
toned by long and prosperous experience,
and substituted the licentiOus notions of
school Of fanatics Conservatism would
check the reckless career on which the
nation is driving under this impulse 1t
would make the constitution the law in
Mississippi as in Massachusetts,, and hold
every public servant, civil and military,
to its requirements, and extend to every
private citizen of whaeyer caste, its pro-
lection. 1t would restore every State in
the Federal Union to equality. 1t would
page the statute hooks of the country Of
proscriptiye laws Ii would strengthen
the allegiance Of the citizen to govern
ment by mild and wholesome measures,
making him only to know its authority by
the security it afforded, and only to feel
its influence by the promotion of his in
terests. It would preserve to all, the
rights and privileges that pertain to
liberty regulated by written law. 1t would
maintain order, peace and prosperity, as
against lawlessness, strife, and ruin.

COMPANY A IST. REGIMENT LOYAL
MILITIA--CONGRES To PAY EX-
PPNGFG

The Jonesboro' Flag gives the details of
the organization, on "wednesday last, of the
first company of Brownlow's standing
army. Col. G. w. Kirk was made captain.
The Flag says;
After the company of State Guards had
been mustered and received their arms,
the procession was formed in front Of the
| Courthouse, the company taking the lead,
followed by citizens on foot and horseback.
the whole commanded by that brave and
noble soldier, Col Ct. W. Kirk. The
measured tread of the soldiery, the brist-
Iing array of cleaning bayonets and the
martial music of the fife and drum, forci-
bly, reminded us of that gloomy period
when our beloved country shook with the
commissions of war and was bathed in the
blood Of slaughtered thousands"
Brownlow announced eighteen month 5
ago that the war was closed two years
too soon" and he is now endeayoring to
commence it anew What success he may
have remains to he seen. The decidedly
political character of this movement is
fairly proven by the attending ceremonies
Of this occasion. The organization Of the
company was small matter and quickly
disposed of; Int the political feature was
protracied and highly sensational The
Flag afirms that there we're three thousand
people present, aud that Senator p. P. c.
Nelson, Col Brownlow and the inevitable
Rebel Radical Butler made speeches.
Among other things the r. R. B., chair
man Of the Radical Central Committee,
Judge of the Circuit Court, the opposer of
negro-sufrage, etc, etc, assured The peO-
pie that The military organization Of The State
tgolld not increase tdrdtiOa, as Congress
,oould provide for he payment Of hs debt THUS
contracted" This disclosure will be crafty
ing to the over burdened taxpayers of the
State; but many will still inquire " how
does Butler know p In the meantime
Brownlow goes on with his war.

In front of Queretaro, April "a, lS6
The Injunction Gases of Georgia and
Mississippi.


WASHINGTON, May Elm the Supreme
Court this evening, Attorney General STAN
bury closed his argument on the Georgia
and Mississippi Injunction case. He spoke
as to the general principles involved, and
denied as heretofore that this case had any
place in court, they were not within the
Jurisdiction of court of equity such as the
constitution provides. There were in them
no basis of property in which relief could
be given Georgia and Mississippi accord
to the bills fled He undertook TO speak
for all the people of those States where
there was evidence of this fact, besides of
the ten Southern States over which recon-
struction acts were to operate, only two
were here. 1t was not known to the con-
trary that the remaining States were dis
satisfied, for they had not presented any
bill of grievances. The law gave citizen
the right to vindicate himself and could he
do this as successfully as State could for
him.
The council on the other side had in
voked the court to save their liberties for
destruction to preserve the integrity of the
States on whose behalf they appeared, but
said the Attorney General had no inherent
power for that purpose in this court, for
Congress mightso act as to destroy the court
by impeaching its Judges on false accusa-
tons, or by denying salaries requisite for
their support. 1t rested with the people,
however, TO secure the honesty and right
doing of the Legislature, and on this basis
one must look for the preservation of the
rights of citizens and of the guaranteed
rights of the States.
No further proceedings took place on the
question before the court, and il adjourned
Immediately after the conclusion of Mr..
Stanberry's argument.
In the Criminal Court to-day an appeal
of the counsel for Sanford Conover was al
lowed, and the court granted the stay of
the execution of sentence till the first of
June.
1t was decided in the Supreme Court to-
day that the lands of the Miamis and
Shawnee Indians, in Kansas cannot be
taxed by the authorities thereof. on the
ground that these Indians are By treaty
under the protection of the United States
government, and preserve their tribal or
ganization.
Information received indicate the wheat
crop TO be the finest for many years.
The receipt of internal revenue to-day
was $998,572.
Hon. Isaac Newton has recovered from
his recent illness.
The House Judiciary Committee held a
meeting to-day, on matters connected with
the impeachment question.
