( RADICAL PRINcIPLE.--At recent politi-

usha A. Grow, once Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives at Washington, said s;let me
'sappoint your judges, and / care not who
frames your laws" 1t is rare that 50 afro
cious a sentiment is uttered from the stump
in this land Of partisan atrocities. Its mean
ing is simply that if the Radicals can only
have the appointment of the judges, they
will shape their decisions tossuit Radical in
sterests and schemes, no matter what the laws
and the Constitution (there is one hid away

If we keep, says the Cincinnati Enquirer
the National debt in the form in which it now
is-that of bonds, held by the .feso, drawing
usurious interest and exempted from taxa
tion-we shall every fifteen years pay a sum
for interest that is equal to the principal Of
tie debt, and yet not one dollar Of the latter
will be paid. It will be an immense weight
upon the labor Of the country If We put
the debt in the shape Of greenbacks, held by
the people, without interest, we can redeem
every one of them in fifteen years, with the
money we shall otherwise pay for interest or
the bonds.

WoRDs FIFTY SpoKEN-There is one
thing, says the Washington Euening Ia
press, that Virginia more needs at this time
than any other, it is immigration. The rev
olution in labor resulting from the late war
renders it impracticable to attempt the pros
ccution of agricultural enterprise on the cid
plan, and to depend on the present generation
Of freedmen for anything ike regular labor
is to rely, in too many instances, on broken
reed. Consequently, the large plantations
must be divided and sold to thrifty, practi-
cal, and cnterprising persons from the more
density populated States, thousands Of whom
would gladly avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to settle on the prolific soil OF the
Old Dominion, and would bring into the
State that manly vigor and setady purpose
which. in few years, will develop her mex

milan. While in the Confederate States
army he received four gunshot wounds, but
they did not injure him to any great extent.
After joining the Imperial army he received
two more, one Of which was in the ankle
joint, disabling him for life and forcing him
to use crutch. Mr.. DeNiather, at the time
of the greatest trouble in and about Vera
Cruz, decided to return to Memphis, but lie
ing without means it would have been utterly
impossible for less courageous man to have
succeeded. To will and to do were the same
thing withhim. Taking bis crutch he start
ed on foot, and in just 145 days this energet-
ic man, with his many battle scars, arrived in
the Bluff City, having made in that time

of this time he was on one of those exten-
sive plains so numerous in Texas, without
either food Or water. Mr.. DeMather is GER
tainly entitled to wear the bclt.-lNenaphis
