SAYS the National Iatelhgeacsr Few
things are more common than the asser-
ton that the Southern people have lost all
their rights by rebellion They have the
right to live and to earn wages. They are
entitled to q jury trial, to the right of free
speech, to peaceably assemble and peti
ton for "a redress Of their grievances.
We could not undertake to deprive them
Of their fundamental rights without pro-
claiming ourselves the worst Of tyrants.
Nay, we could not undertake to deprive
them Of their rights without violating the
organic law Of the nation, the formal ex-
preston Of principles which constitute
the national life.
But where is there line in that in
strument which contemplates forfeiture
Of rights2 Whence can we deduce from
it any right to diyest any man, whether
citizen or foreigner, whether loyal or
disobedient, Of any Of his rights, save on
conviction and trial
If there is anything contemplated by
that instrument, il there is any founda-
ton or principle on which the whole
superstructure Of American freedom
rests, it is self-goyernment All govern,
ments derive their power from the assent
Of the governed That is the great Ameri-
can idea But this notion of forfeiture of
rights is utterly destructive Of this great
cardinal doctrine Of the Revolution,
enumerated in I" the days that tried men's
souls, and gloriously embodied in the
immortal work Of the trainers Of our
government We lay it down as an in
disputable maxim, that, under our free
government, there is no such thing as
forfeiture of the great rights Of American
citizenship, save on conviction of crime

STATE CREDIT IN AID OF RAII.-
ROADS.

ROADS.
In the remarks which were made by us
yesterday upon public credit and expen-
diture, it was intended to discriminate
between reckless and uBprodvctice ex-
penditure and a jHdicious extension Of
aid foyrcat puJic lcorka This, we think,
was done, but in order to make the matter
perfectly clear, few additional remarks
will be made.
IL is not the issue Of bonds to railroads
that has depressed them in the market
The bonds would have been lower but for
the fact that they are supported by back
ground Of values, and are based upon a
system of internal improvement which is
entirely adequate to their redemption,
when public confidence and prosperity
is restored.
Such investments by the State, if in
yestments they can be called, are of the
PROTECTIVE character, and should be en-
cOuraged and supported, but others which
have nothing in the background and
have no base of security, are but reek-
less extravaganza, utterly uNPRoDUcTTvE,
and, when INDUCED in by State, must
effecually destroy her credit
Therefore we have all along advocated
encouragement to railroads, and think
that the Legislature can do nothing wiser
and more statesmanlike, or promotive Of
the great interests Of Tennessee, than to
grant the aid which has been asked for
by the Nashville, East Tennessee and
Memphis, or, as it is called in the charter
the Tennessee and Pacific road in par
ticular This has been demonstrated to
be great State and national work, and
one Of the most important as it will he
one Of the most lucrative roads construct
ed in America

IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGE rRAzrEH

From eur Legislative report this morn
ing it will be seen that the House Of Rep
resentatiyea have preferred articles Of
impeachment against Judge Frazier, Of
this city. The Radicals Of the Tonnes
see Legislature exceed in audacity those
Of Congress The latter only threaten
the judiciary The former proceed to
lay the ruthless hand Of parhzan malice
upon one of the most amiable, upright
and uneKceptionable members Of the
bench for the discharge Of a duty which
if he had refused to perform, would have
jusHy laid him liable to impeachment
viz the issuance Of the writ Of habeas
corpus on the petition Of n citizen al
legiag an unlawful arrest and the dis
charge OF she prisoner upon the proof
before him This is the offense which
the arrogant majority Of the Tenne ssee
Legislature CONSTITUTES into contempt for
its privileges and authority, and proposes
to punish Judge, the purity Of whose
private and official character is without
a stain.
This proceeding displays gross ignor-
ance Of the powers and duties Of a Judge,
and is utterly shameless as an exhibition
Of party vindictiyeness. II was Judge
Frazier's sworn duty to issue the writ If
the proof disclosed, in his opinion, an I'M
lawful arrest, it was his sworn duty 70
order the discharge Of the applicant If
the order was made, it was his duty to
compel its Observance, and punish for
contempt the party attempting to obstruct
IL This was the head and front of his
offending Il might be held by the
Legislature that he erred in his decision,
but there is not r scintilla Of evidence to
prove, nor, in his whole action, shadow
Of reason TO suspect that he interierred
in behalf Of Williams and Martin for the
purpose Of setting at defiance the nuthori-
ty Of the Legislature He gave the ques.
ton due investigation and deiberation,
and delivered an opinion temperate
in tie tone, Us It was logical in the conclu>
sions which determined his action.
II the effect Of his decision was
70 invalidate the action of the House on
the constitutional amendment, which it
aid, by declaring that less than quorum
had no power to compel the attendance
Of members, there is a Supreme Court
provided for the correction Of the errors
Of Judge Frazier To have obtained an
opinion, IL he was in error, iustfying
their proceedings to Martin and Viii
liams an appeal could have been taken
10 that court Il is not the province of
the Legislature to assume that ne will
fully decided contrary 70 law, and in con
spired violation Of It's powers, and pro.
eeed to depose him To do so is an act
of usurpation which stulti6es the men
engaged in it, aud inhicts deep disgrace
upon the State
The yindictive partizans who are pur'
suing Judge Frazier cannot impair his
high character by impeachment They
NAV complete the forms Of conviction, but
a lust public sentiment vii hold him
clear in his great office, and ere long
pronounce a sentence against his perse-
cutors that viii sink them TO political per-
