MANY people Aattered themselves
that the recognition of Tennessee, ms
a State in the Union, would redress
most Of its political wrongs by re-
storing harmony, recognisingpopular
rights and giving full etfect>t to the
broai principles Of justice. But VIC
believed then, as we know now, that
negro suffrage was the price to be
paid for the worse than doubtful ben T.
e6ts Of recognition. And as sbhor.
rent as was that belief, we could see
nothing in the character Of our ru,
lers to inspire hope that any sense
Of justice, any impulse Of honor, any
feeling of shame, any love of coun-
try, any self.respect, or any desire
for honest fame would avert this
loathesome finale to a series Of ini-
quities.
We have tried to picture to ourself
what will be the feelings of any Rad.
ical, who may visit the polls, when
he sees the Oldest and best citizens
CT the State denied access to the bal.
lot box--ordered to stand back and
make way. for the ignorant negro,
who never dreamed of equality with
the white man until he came in con
tact with Radicals. But before one
can realize the feelings of the white
skinned Tennessean who was instru-
mental in the contamination of this
monstrous outrage, he must sink to
an almost fathomless depth of moral
degradation.
We knew some Of the Tennessee
Radicals, in better days, and treated
them as gentlemen because we believ-
ed them to be such-possessing the
ordinary proportion of the attributes
which enter into that character. We
look at-those same beings now, and
wonder BY what sitting analysis they
have been deprived Of the higher at.
tributes, and left with only animal
instincts. And We wonder too, that
even those instincts do not point GU,
the danger Of leaving to their proge-
ny the inheritance of negro equality
and the evils of such a government
as this must become, with this new
feature engrafted upon it. They
have no right to believe that their
children will, like themselves, be a
privileged political class; indeed,
they ought to know that revolution
will never cease until white suprem
acy is re-established in the State, and
that the part they are acting will en-.
tail upon their children and their
children's children the blasting obi
UNI of inherited infamy.
In descanting upon the conduct Of
our Radical rulers, it gives us nc
pleasure to employ terms of bitter.
ness. On the contrary, we would
gladly seize upon the faintcst excuse
for using the language Of merited
commentator. For such excuse, VIZ
have looked in vain; and as famili
arity with wrong hardens the heart
it is idle to hope for such a change
as will authorize milder tone.

TIE .SURRAT TRIAL.

1t is becoming matter of curious
inquiry why every Democratic jour
nal in the United States attacks, with
such yirulence and maligfity, all who
are concerned in prosecuting the
parties who were manifestly active in
efrecting the murder of Abraham
Lincoln. Why is it that every effort
made to bring to justice the men i'm
plicated in this foul, bloody and un.
natural murder, is discouraged by
them, and all the vials Of their wrath
emptied against the judge and all en-
gagged in the trial: Speak out plain
ly, gentlemen. and tell the truth.
Admit that you chucllled over the
murder of Abraham Lincoln; that
you still think it n good thing, and
that in this trial your sympathies are
all with the assassins. What else are
we to infer from this persistent SLAM
der of all the witnesses for the
prosecution and this endless revilinq
of all concerned in the prosecution:
We trust that the democratic press
does not speak the sentiments of all
its readers. If it does, we shall be for
ccd to the unavoidable conclusion
that this country presents the hid
eous spectacle of a large political
party virtually approving homicide.

and rely upon the civil courts once more
TO execute the laws. There was a little
loud talking and rioting in the State during
the canvass, but Tennessee has witnessed
such things before, in the most quiet times.
If the Governor will do this we think the
people will settle down once more in
quietude and good order Our people, we
think are tired OF these disorders and will
gladly do their part to prevent their recur-
renee. We have made fine crops all
through the State, business will revive in
the fall, and all parties are anxious to throw
oil on the troubled wsters, and devote their
time and attention TO the retrieving of their
ruined fortunes. To speak more particu-
larly for ourselves, what have we TO gain
here in Memphis, by perpetuating the late
strife, and prosecuting each other for opin-
ions sake? The election is over, and the
status OF things political for the next two
years-do let us have truce, if not solid
peace, until the next trial of strength comes
on"
1t is an encouraging sign to find such
wholesome counsel in the columns OF the
Bulletin, and if it is generally regarded
by the Tennessee Conservatives we shall
witness an improved condition Of affairs in
that State.

count Of the recent visit OF Mr. Davis 10

JEFF. Davis visited Stanstcad last wock,
and was the guest OF VI. T. Lee Terrill.-
Frederick Terrill, ESQ. brought him from
Sherbrooke there. in very quiet mshner,
on Wednesday last, profcssedly to see the
country and To consult in regard TO an in
ycstment in the gold mines OF Hatley. On
Thursday, as we learn from the Newport
(Nt) Express, Mr.. Tcrrill, in his best turn
out, took jeff. about the village to ride
when several incidents occurred not alto
geiher pleasing. we should imagine. To
either the host or his guest. Not only boys
but men hOoted at him in the street, and
greeted him with those familiar words,
Well hang Jeff. Davis 10 a sour apple
tree He was frequently asked where he
had left his 'petticoats, and various like
remarks more suggestive than pleasing
everywhere fell upon his eur. One lady,
stung by the recollection of suffering and
death of near relative at AndeTsonyille,
gave utterance TO her feelings by hurting a
stone at him. Permission was asked that
Jeff. might ride about the grounds OF Mr..
Carlos Pierce, and take look at his noted
herds, but the request was cmphatically
denied by Henry Pierce, in chsrge of the
premises, who declared, in unmistakablc
language, that in no event could jeff. Da-
Wis be admitted on those grounds.

TENNE.S.S E,E CONTENTION
ON THE ,SITTJi TON.

From the predictions ofthe Conservative
newspapers OF Tennessee and their Copper
head echoes in the North, people who relied
upon their statements would naturally in
fer that the reelection of Governor Brown
low would be followed by at least the
hanging of half the ex-rebel population of
the State, and the prompt banishment Of
the residue as well as the contscation of
their property. They were all ready to
swear, and did swear that liberty was dead
in Tennessee, that the State Government
was pure military despotism, and the
Radicals lineal descendants of Robespierre
and Danton.
Since the election, however, notwith-
standing it has resulted in continuing the
Brownlow administration, the case is not
regarded as half as deplorable as it was
represented when mems passions were
sought to be aroused for political effect
We find the Memphis Bulletin, edited by
Admiral Senmes, taking quite cheerful
view OF the situation and giving sensible
advice to the defeated Conservatives
From long editorial. on this subject we
copy the following extracts:
The Radical party is bad enough, no
dOubr, but as il is embarked in the same
boat with us, 1t will not be very apt to pull
the plug out of the bottom, and let the boat
sink; for in that case it viii have to swim
for its life as well as we. 1t will, no doubt,
do what most political parties have been
found capable of doing when they have
had the opportunity, VIZ: a little quiet feath-
eriLg of their nests to guard against a rainy
day; but that they will ruin the Slate, and
utterly demolish the temple of liberty we
do not believe, for the reason that they
will be crushed by the ruins as well as our
selves. We must give them credit for
little common sense. They have houses,
and farms, and stores, and taxable proper
ty, which it is to their interest TO preserve
and protect"
The Bulletin even recognizes that there
are some good qualities in Governor
Brownlow, and that he may make a pretty
fair Executive in spite of the abuse heaped
upon him before the election. 1t says:
"We should not be surprised to see Gov
ernor Brownlow discharge his grand army
