DON'T LIKE 1T.

1t will be remembered, says the Rich
mond Times, that some months ego q
vessel left this port having on board
about fifty freedwomen, destined for the
God-forsaken city of Boston. We I'M
derstand that not more than two of
them have returned, they not being per-
mitted to do so By their new task-masters
and mistresses. In conversation with
the last one who returned, we learn that
homes were secured for them in Boston
before their arrival in that delectable
land, and twenty dollars of their wages
were retained for the purpose of paying
their passage money. The one with
whom we conversed says all we're
anxious to return after sojourn in
Boston, but we're not permitted to do SO.
She was compelled to run away, leaving
her clothing 10 possession of her new
master and mistress. She does not
complain Of harsh treatment on their
part, being allowed all the privileges
usually granted to white people; but
she says she could not enjoy her meals,
because they were so different from the
"old Virginny" style, and had to be
partaken of at the same table with
white folks" Moreover, they were
continually prating to her about the de-
icieney of her education, and abusing
Southern people, when she knew and
told them that they we're better thaA
Yankees anyhow" She says she would
rather be slave in old Virginny"
than to be compelled to live free in
Boston.

GoOD COUNSEL FOR THE SOUTH.

The South has many counseiors at this
time. Every man, woman and child in
the North is deeply concerned for her
welfare In most cases, their manifesto
tions are ridiculous, otherwise they would
be insulting. Among those who exhibit
sense in their advice to the South, is that
hoary headed sinner, Horace Greeley.
His soul should be as full of remorse as
a foul chimney is of SCOT. He con-
tributed more than any other man TO
produce the present state Of things
First, he bounded on the Abolition
movement, and when il drove the South.
ern States to the verge Of secession, en-
couraged them 10 take the fatal leap. By
his advice they took it, and he now be-
holds them shattered topieces. Looking
down upon their desperate condition, he

worst acts, for they can afford to wait
and take their own time for everything

them to try to make The great mass Of

instead of making vain, and il appears
futile efforts 70 change their political
condition.
Commenting on the letter referred to,
that old Conservative journal, the Phila-
delphia Ledger, thinks the points that
Mr.. Greeley calls their attention TO are
the immediate necessities Of the hour,
and To secure a return to any sort Of
prosperity they ought to be attended to
at once, the same as il the people there
we're in the best possible political condi-
ton. With plenty and contentment
once around them, so far as their domes'
tic and personal condition is concerned,
they will become less and less distracted
by the political divisions that disturb
both them and us at the present time'
and with a cessation of this it is to be
hoped there will be a diminution OF po-
litical asperiiies upon our side. The
best cure for the present condition OF
the Southern country is the lapse Of
time. Once more prosperous, they
should make themselves coptented TO
wait and place their trust in the sense of
Justice of the American people, which
never continues to be wrong for any
considerable period Of time.

CAN'T SPARE THEM.

We have received crcularfro Isaac
Newton mot Sir Isaac), Commissioner
of the Department Of Agriculture, con-
tanning q resolution of Congress in
structing him ito collect and prepare, so
far as practicable, and with as little de-
lay as possible, suitable specimensof the
cereal productions of the several States
of the Union, for the Paris Exposition,
and forward the same in proper order
and condition for shipment 20 ], G.
Derby, agent of the United States Gov.
eminent for the Paris Exposition, at
New York He requests persons or
communities to send to him, with as lit
tie delay as possible, the finest samples
of wheat, corn and other cereals, such as
would command the admiration Of Eu-
rope and arouse the pride of all
Americans, We cannot see the
proprieiy of sending this circular
10 the States lately in rebellion"
for the Commissioner, ifposted in regard
to the supply Of cereals on hand, as he
should be, knows thatthere is nota grain
of wheat, or corn, or any other grain to
spare. The scarcity is more likely to
produce famine, than the quality to
arouse the pride Of Americans, If that
functionary, or his master, Congress,
has any disposition to excite the graft
tude Of the South, let him or il send
grain, specimens of Northern and
Western production, to feed the
hungry, whose all was devastated
by the soldiery of the United States.
Not a seed for the Paris exhibition,
good or bad, and not man to represent
the South there. She needs every grain
of corn and wheat at home to feed her
people, and much more. She is in no
condition to think Of the pride Of Ameri-
cans. Her people, according to bills
now pending in Congress, are not Amer
lean citizens, "A process of naturali-
cation is first to be gone through. Every
man in the South who is DISTINGUISHED,
is a foreigner. Every State kept out of
Congress, is a province held by the bay
onet Every person thus held is a sub.
ject. But, upon reflection, there is
we might send TO Paris for
the admiration of the world. Let the
demolished constitutions of the South be
collected and sent on. Let eleven States
taxed without their. consent, be drawn
upon the reverse side of the Declaration
of Independence, and forwarded. Let the
Franchise act of Tennessee, printed on
satin and in golden letters, be deposited
in the American department These
specimens of American art would attract
the admiration of the Russian and Aus
trian Commissioners. The old flag, the
siar-spapgled banner, with eleven stars
erased, but retaining all the stripes,
might prove an interesting contribution
And then there is the Tennessee Legis-
laturel Why can not that be sent over,
as a specimen of American deliberative
talent and deceney2 We press nothing
We only throw out suggetions.

GENERAL EARLY.

General Early, in the preface to his
memoirs of the war, states fact which
the Radicals cannot controvert, unless
they deny what everybody knows to be
true 1t is well, however, to keep the
familiar fact before the people. The
General, in his preface, says; while
some Northern politicians and editors,
who subsequently took rank among the
most INSCRIPTIONS and vindictive OF our
enemies, and now hold me to be traitor
and an encuy, were openly and sedu-
lously justifying and encouraging seces'
ion, | was laboring honestly and earn
estly to preserve the Union"

NORTHERN DEMOCRATS AND THE
SOUTH.

OF the speech of Mr.. Voorhees,, deliv-
cred in New Orleans last week, the
Crescent says: Mr.. voorhees,, in his
speech on Tuesday night, was emphatic
in assuring us that, while holding out
against the unconstitutional demands of
the Radical Congress, we could rely upon
having the warm sympathy and unainch-
ing support Of the Northern Democratic
party. To deliver this assurance, indeed,
would seem, from the reiterative intensity
and persis.ency with which he dwelt it,
at least one OF his reasons for visiting
the South, and the special motive which
induced him to make the speech. He
came among US, he said, to bid us, in the
name of upwards of a million and half
of voters in the section TO which be be-
longs, to be firm and unyielding, to make
no concession of rights that should be
ours under the existing Constitution. For
our cause, in respect to the constitutional
relations of the States and citizens
TO the Federal Government, was their
cause, he added, and If we should
give way to despair and weakly submit
to Radical dictation, the act would be
fatal to interests that are as important
to principles which are as cherished
among his people as they are among
ourselves. And in this connection oc
CURED one of the most impressive pas
sages of his speech. We're he and the
Northern Democrats, ofwhom he is proud
to be the type and spokesman, situated
as we are, and harassed by exclusion,
delay, suspense, exaction, menace, as
we are, they would make any sacrifice
rather than abuse themselves by polit-
ical surrender; they would welcome
death in preference to dishonor and
degradation.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Loyal" Juror Law Declared
Unconstitutional.


From tho clarksviIe Chronicle, lst.l 'I.s "a .
In the case of the State VS.. Hancock,
nj the present term Of our Circuit Court,
the counsel for the defense objected TO q
Juror on the ground that he was not a
qualified voter, thus bringing mp the
question Of the constitutionality of a re-
cent act of the Legislature, which pro-
vides that the fact that the party is not a
qualified voter shall be cause for chal-
lenge in all civil and criminal cases.
His Honor, Judge Campbell, decided
the law 10 be unconstitutional In this
case there was panel OF upwards OF a
hundred jurors, and II turned out that
there we're only three out Of that num-
Der who were qualified voters under the
franchise law. la rso'
The Judge ordered the Sheriff, in sum
moning jury, TO select the best men Of
the county, and the panel was composed
OF our most respectable citizens, and
only three, out Of upwards of a hundred,
were found who could vote. II was also
developed on this trial that there we're
only ZIG voters in the county, ont of
voting population of about 5000, and it
is well known that many of those who
are voters are not house holders or free
holders. In eleven districts in this
county there is not single voter--eleven
districts unable to elect magistrates or
constables Practically in middle and
west Tennessee, this beautiful law Of the
Legislature destroys the right Of trial by
jury, which the Constitution declares
shall be inviolate. asrdo oeo. p.l0
The defendant was convicted and an
appeal taken to the Supreme Court, so
the court of last resort will pass upon
the important question. Ni 1
