Tbs Louisville Courier Of yesterday,
deseanting upon the conflict existing be-
tween the President and Congress, holds
The following view which we regard, in
the main, as just and true
In assuming the defiant position toward
Radicalism which he now occupies, il is
reasonable to conclude that President Johns
son has fully counted the cost. He was
long weighing the matter-so long that
his apparent inertness we'll nigh lost him
the confidence of Conservative people.
Hoping, doubtless, that some sort of COM
promise might be effected with reference to
the question of reconstruction, he hesitated
long before making the breach between
himself and the Radical leaders so wide as
10 render reconciliation impossible. In
this he committed a grave error. BY a
vigorous and well-directed blow the Radi-
cal serpent might easily have been crushed;
nov it has grown into hydra-headed
monster, and both vigilance and valor may
be requisite in accomplishing its destruc-
ton. Still, however, the task is by no
means helpless one, and if johnson is
true to himself, the people and the conn
try, il is certain of completion.
That President johnson will be thus true
we see no reason TO doubt. He has deliber-
ately assumed an attitude which he knew
would excite the most virulent animosity
on the part of the Radical leaders, relying
upon the people to sustain him. Knowing
the policy and measures Of Congress to be
subYersiye of Republican institutions and
governments, he has made known his in
tention of opposing them in every legiti-
mate way. In short, President johnson
has, in the cause of his country, calmly and
deliberately braved the unprincipled dema-
gogues who seek to substitute negro. SUI
premacy and despotism for the freedom
of the white man and the government Of
our fathers, and who unfortunately have
control of our national Legislature. IL the
people sustain him in his efforts against
Radicalism, as we believe they will do, the
country will be saved; if they do not, they
will speedily lose all that should be most
dear to the American freeman.

A FEW days since the New York papers
published sketches of the proceedings of
the Pan-Anglican Council, in Europe, in
which the strange statement is made that
the opening sermon was preached by Rev
Dr. Leonidas Polk, "Lord Bishop of Lou
isiana, United States of America Now,
not only is the title Of Lord Bishop"
unknown here, but Leonidas Polk, the
alleged preacher, left his bishopric, be-
came General in the Confederate army,
and was killed during the war 1t may
not be very strange that some Rip Van
Wrinkle of a reverend secretary in Europe
should make such a mistake as this, but
1t is not creditable to the intelligence of
New York Journalism that it is repeated

MASSACHuSETTN.

A ray Of light breaks in the distant
East-eTen in Mas sachnsetts, the nurse
ing mother Of most of the political errors
that have brought this nation to its pre-
sent deplorable condition, This State,
has always contained corporaIs guard
of men with true conceptions Of the
nature Of the government formed in 1889.
The majority Of its people, however, have
been thoroughly saturated with puritan
can't and possessed of the devil of me-
grophilism for many years. Webster,
Choate, Winthrop and Curtis, with all
their great abilities have proved unable
to cast it out We fear it will be the last
spot in the country to recognize that
the policy which it has contributed so
much to foster and make, for the time,
all powerful, is the cause of the national
trouble but it is gratifying to observe
the sturdy persistence, with which,
year after year, her small band of
true men enter the field, and struggle
for the maintenance of sound princi-
pies. 1t is particularly gratifying to note
the action of the State Democratic Con-
vention which met on the lst inst Not
the least significant fact in the proceed
ings, is the nomination for Governor, of
John Quincy Adams of the Braintree
lineage-the great-grandson Of Presi~
dent the grandson of another, and the
son of the present Minister to England,
Charles Francis Adams family that
has perhaps done more than any other in
America, to inculcate high Federal prin-
ciples, and construct doetrinal basis for
the present Radical scheme to centralize
and consolidate all the powers of the
government in the Federal head Mr.
Adams who has given exhibitions of
ability not inferior to the greatest Of his
progenitors, stands upon a platform
whose first resolution afirms the doctrine
of State rights, while the third resolution
denounces Congress for the enactment of
unconstitutional laws; and the ninth de-
clares against the infraction of individ-
ual rights,
With so distinguished and influential a
name at their head, and protesting body
of principles so wholesome and conser-
vative, We may hope, that in sympathy
with the general uprising against the
dangerous assumptions and tendencies of
Radicalism now being made, the De-
mocracy Of Massachusetts, will succeed,
at least, in lowering the crests of Sumner,
Wilson, Butler and Boutwell, at the com
ing election When Federal absorption
of power and its ruinous train of conse-
quences become so alarming, that an
Adams deems it his duty to abandon the
inherited tenets of a long and illustrious
line Of ancestors, and become the cham
pion of their very reverse, it indicates
that the reaction has profound causes;
and, that unless majority of the people
are insane, they will retrace their steps,
and retrieve constitutional liberty before
it is finally lost

MEETING OF THE LEGIsLATURE.

This body assemblies tomorrow. 1t is
to be presumed that there will be no de-
lay in its organization; and it is to be
hoped that it will immediatelysaddress
itself to business. Indeed, in common
with the people of Tennessee, we would
fam indulge the hope also, that it may
conhne its action to matters which re-
quire legislative care to protect and direct
them for the material welfare of the
state; and avoid politics altogether. The
body is almost unanimous in political
sentiment and there viii not probably
arise within itself, questions which
viii divert its attention from that char
acter of business which so imperatively
demands at this time, dispassionate con-
sideration and discriminating judgement
If such should be the case, the fault, 60
far as the Conservative press and people
are concerned, should be left TO lie at its
own doors 1t has been plead in mitiga'
ton Of much of the mischeiyous legisla-
tionof the pasttwo years, thatitwas caused
by the irritating criticisms that were
continually lcvelled at members by the

men who were invested with grave respon-
sibilities, and had duties which should
have been performed constitutionally and
Justly, without reference to the praises
or censure of any man or party but it

If they are left without this excuse at the
opening Of the present session. If hot
spirit of partizanship, at once wanton as
it is vindictive, shall be displayed, to the
neglect of the great material interests of
the people that are suffering for wise and
wholesome legislation. let the blame rest
wholly upon those who so abuse their
trusts, and let it swell the torrent of
condemnation that ultimately will overs
whelm them. The State as wreck.

Fenian organization, a Congressman, was
present at the sale of government vessels at
the navy yard at Brooklyn, and became the
purchaser of steamer, said to be admira-
bly, adapted to blockade running.
Two steamers, one of which answers
infinitely to the description of a suspicious
craft reported by cable, left this point about
seven weeks since. One of the vessels is
reported in this city to have parted compa-
nv with her consort, and her destination
was northeast of Scotland.
A steamer from Southampton September
18th arrived to-day.
A serious accident occurred on the

THE RUIN OF THE SEA ISLANDS
HOW THE NEGROES WORK.

Extract from a Hilton Head South Cardinal
letter to the Baltimore Gazette.
1t only requires visit to these islands
to make thorough pro-slsvery man of the
raukest Abolitionist. Now that picking
has commenced the hands have to be
watched night and day, and with all that
can be done they will steal a great deal.
They sell whatever they steal to a few
white men here who have bad influence
upon them, and corrupt them for gain and
in hopes of getting their votes. The Me-
groes have been taught to believe that the
land is to be given them, and if the mill
tary were not within reach, it is doubtful
whether they could be kept even in that
little subsection in which they are.
They are the most idle, worthless, filthy
and sullen set of creatures l ever saw.
They quarrel all day, and when night
comes they keep their eternal fiddle going
till late hour, and dance the double
shuttle and hoe-down to its music.
They have ruined many Southern
planters who had but little capital aud en-
deavored TO work their plantations on
shares. In almost every case the negroes
got short of provisions from extravagance
and carelessness, and abandoned their crops
10 find money elsewhere. The moment they
earn enough to feed themselves for q
a few days they quit and wander about or
lie down and sleep. Our corn crop, fifty
acres, was entirely lost for want of labor.

A REPORT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.


1t has been rumored that President
johnson has declared that in case of his
impeachment by the House of Repre-
sentatives, he will not be tried by Sena-
tors who have prejudged his case Upon
this point, the New York correspondent
Of the Charleston Courier states that the
President has had the speeches of those
Senators who have been advocating his
impeachment in stump speeches taken
down by stenographers, detailed for that
purpose, and that he intends to use them
when the time comes. This correspondent
says
1t is, / understand, the intention of Mr..
johnson, in the event of articles Of i'm
parchment being sent to the Senate, to
boldly declare that he will not be tried by
Senators who have declared themselves
either in favor or against his impeachment.
He takes the ground that the meanest
criminal of the country, even when tried
upon a charge of petty larceny, has the
right to challenge his jurors. And he
claims, with a good deal of sound reason
ing, that in an all important matter like
this, it is simply due to justice that his
judges should not be men who have pre-
judged his case. In fine, that he will not
be tried by judges who hold him guilty
even before the trial has commenced. The
moment matters are approaching this
crisis, the stenographers, who during the
past year have been taking down the Sem
atorial speeches, directly or indirectly
abiding to impeachment, will be sum-
moned to Washington, and be called upon
to swear to the correctness of their reports
now 10 the Presidenfs possession. Among
the Judges against whom special excep-
tons will be taken by Mr.. johnson, are
Senators Howard, Thayer, Nye, Sumner,
sWade and Chandler.

TIE Nachitoches Ds.) Times, speaking
of the Coolies lately imported from Cuba,
says they are q sorry substitute for our
former slaves AT first blush their ineff.
cheney was attributed to a change OF the
climate, and want Of familiarity with our
agricultural instruments and manner OF
cultivation. The fact is become final and
undeniable that they are incapableof culti-
waiting the soil probably, and not TO be re-
he'd on IN making a crop. They are lazy,
mutinous, obstinate and thievish. Such is
the verdict Of the planters who have en-
ployed Chinese Coolies in Louisiana.
