ErHERIpeE FOR GOVERNOR.

A movement is on foot to bring out
EMERSON ETHERIDGE for Governor Of
this State He has strong claims upon
the Conservatives, but it is questionable
whether he could command the greatest
number Of votes He is not supposed to
he popular with the Confederate soldiers,
and sympathizers with the South; but
then, he has been a CONSTANT Union
man, and was among the first
to assail the unconstitutional Rad
calls. He was thrown into prison for his
opinions, and passed through the ordeal
Of a military commission, thing now
denounced by the Supreme Court as in
competent to try civilians. But it is
clear TO US that, as the next Governor Of
Tennessee, just such man as ErHERIDGE
will be needed. Divers things will be
required Of our State within the next
two or three years-tbings unconstitu'
tionsl and oppressive, and ENNERsoS
ETHERIDGE possesses the disposition and
the courage to battle them and their au
thors. We believe that he would yield Il
nothing wrong but stand firm by th'
rights of the people. The inquiry is
can q man better suited to the present
and prospective state of affairs, be found
in the 5tate2 We doubt If be can.

mems Bureau, said in Virginia the freed
men have decreased in number; esti-
mated population at this date, 100000
North Carolina, estimated aboutthe CEN
sus of 1860, 100000. South Carolina de
creased, present population estimated at
$4,000. The population of Florida has
remained about the same as when the
census of 1860 was taken--62,67 In
Mississippia census has been taken since
the close of the war, showing a slight de-
crease; 320,0O6 is the present colored
population of the State. In Louisiana
reported colored population, $4,000
Texas-the Assistant Commissioner of
the State reports an increase; colored
population estimated at 100000 Mis-
SQUIRT is probable that the freedmen
have left this State in large numbers for

prRIIs OF IMPEACHMENT.

In this Government two parties are
necessary to maintain the equilibrium oil
power. Heretofore, in our great ma
tional struggles, the defeated party has
always submitted gracefully to the vic
tor. We never heard until recently Of
an impeachment of President for party
ends. If the Radicals succeed now in
setting an example of this nature, twill
afford a new and perilous starting point
for political parties. If one party
cannot elect President of its
own, it will be perfectly legitimate
TO impeach that of the opposition,
and thus get him out of the way.
1t will not be requisite that the Presi-
dent shall be guilty of that for which the
Constitution authorizes impeachment;
it will be sufficient that he is political
opponent. 1t will occur to every one
that such practices would be exceedingly
dangerous to the peace of the country.
Every Presidential election would be a
civil war, and men would prepare bal
lots and bullets at the same time. The
polls would be scenes of slaughter, and
our land would become what Mexico has
long been, the country ef civil wars. 1t
is not pretended that ANDREW JOHN
SON has performed any act which
partisan Presidents have not, or might
not have performed at any time since
the beginning of the Government. He
has violated no law, and been guilty Of
no acts of official corruption. To prove
conclusively that the proposed impeach-
ment is founded in partisan malice, it is
only necessary to refer to the fact, that
the Supreme Court ofhe United States,
and million majority Of the people Of
the hirty-Sir States sustain him. Is it,
then, at all likely that an impeachment,
under these circumstances, and re-
moval from office, would be acquiesced
in2 They are indigerently instructed in
the principles of human nature who
cherish such an expectation. The ex.
ample, to say nothing of the immediate
fruits of it, would be fatal to our system
of government. But our madcaps in
Congress appear to see no diaaster be-
yond the act of thrusting an obnoxious
President out of their way. An eye
opener may descend upon them ulti-
mately.

PLANTERS AND LABoRERs.

Many planters are in the city inquir-
ing for laborers, and are having, they
inform us, -ery Indifferent success. The
crop of this year must depend upon the
amount and efficiency of negro labor
The resuscitation Of the South cannot
be achieved without great toll, and the
negro is the best toiler that can be OBJ
tanned. Failing last year to meet the
expectations of the planting interest as
well as his own exorbitant ideas OF
profit, there is decided reluctance to
effect contracts for the present year.
The planter distrusts his efficiency, and
he distrusts the planters good faith
But more than all, the freedman and
freedwoman prefer a town life, and our
planting friends find it impossible to in
duce them to 90 to the country. There
