One of the favorable signs for
Tennessee, is the announcement that
Brownlow ordered the arrest of his
militia butchers who recently MUIR
dcred man, named Brown, in
Franklin county. All who know the
character Of our bogus Governor,
will infer from this act of seeming
justice, that he has been scared up,
and nothing is so likely to have done
this as the searching expose and with
ering denunciations of his conduct,
by Etheridge, together with the pc.
tition and afidavits forwarded to
Washington, by the citizens of
Franklin, in reference to the murder
just mentioned. Not only does the
parson see signs of reaction against
him, but he feels that the murderous
and thieying propensities of his mil
tia will strengthen that reaction and,
from policy, not sense of justice,
he must impose a check upon their
lawlessness and claim the act as evil
dcpce of his honesty and purity Of
purpose.

ABOUT HALE RIGHT.

The Radical member Of the Indi-
ana Legislature who expressed the
opinion, that 1t would be better for
the country if half the white men
and all the negroes had good masters,
and that suffrage should be restricted
to property holders, has evoked
structures severe, ridiculous and par
tizan. Both Of the propositions set
forth in his pronunciamento are i'm.
practicable, yet the last, however un-
popular, was the prevailing sentiment
and practice of the wise men who
founded our late Republic, as well as
Of their immediate descendants.
Well do we rememb Der, as q Virgin
ian, the high standard Of morality
required in the officials of that State,
the unsel6sh craftsmanship that con.
trolled its administration the wide
spread prosperity and contentment of
its people, and the weight of its in
fuence in shaping the councils of the
Republic, when suffrage was based
upon property. Well, too, do we re-
member when this safeguard was re-
moved, how rapid was the change for
the worse. Those least interested in
the stability and prosperity Of its
government became the arbiters of
its destiny. The floating masses,
without permanent interest, furnish
ed material to be fashioned by dema.
gogues, who We'd with each other in
the race for popularity--thc one and
the other advocating those loose and
pernicious doctrines which have, at
last, resulted. in the overthrow of the
government.
Liberty and equality, terms so fas-
cinating to the popular ear, in their
broad significance, mean nothing but
anarchy and misrule, as the first
fruits Of their reduction to practice,
aud despotism, as the final result. In
government, there can be no perma-
nent and substantial liberty without
rigid restrictions, and broad equality,
is a physical, social and political i'm.
possibility. Yet these distractions,
as the capital of wicked and design
ing men, have led to all the ills which
now afflict the country, and with this
fact now staring us in the face, the
insinuation that suffrage is not a nat,
ural right, and that no man is born
with permit to do as he pleases, is
an ofense against the genius of dem
ocracy.
In our opinion, the Indiana Radi.
cal is at least half right, which is
more than can be sad OF any
other member of his party. We be.
lieve, furthermore, that until the
government is brought back to first
principles, it will be practically des.
potic, whatever its name and theory
We do not mean its condition just
prior TO the war, but the time when
suffrage was restricted to property
which restriction, a stable
md healthy constitutional govern
ment is an impossibility.

the present, so cold and icy that they seemed to

rweather of the North. But the lively spirits OF
those who were reared under the balmy influences
of summer sun were not to be cast down by o
breath Of Boreas, and with an energy In the South
ern character that o few years ago surprised
and astounded more than one portion OF the world,
VIC looked about in our almost impoverished state
for some plan Of resistance to au oppressive at-
mosphere, and determined upon system OF en-
ioyment, which, while it would exhibit dsre-
gard for suffering, would give US all the greatest
delight, and at once adopted the Agreeable design

been entered into with a spirit truly Southern,
some of the finest entertainments Of this kind
have been given within the last two or three
months that our city has ever boosted of, and al
though sxtrayagance of dress and prodigahty o1
