No. Some great men are such by ma
turo, some from accident He who has
great capacity to plan and to execute,
though he fail, is great for all that But
some men without such capacity are es-
teemed great because they were success
full, and this perhaps through the merest
accident, or from circumstances beyond
human control. Some are accounted
great without being so, because they we're
born lucky. The worlds judgment OF
great men, however, is only right, because
great talents most often in the long run
command the success upon which that
judgment, right or wrong, depends. He
who succeeds in nothing is by-word;
though, in his circumstances, it may be
success was impossible. Thousands are
horn to misfortune, while tens will live 90
eminence. More geniusis crushed under
by adversities, which have given it to
oblivion, than ever yet shone on the
world. And more deserving men pine in
obscurity than come to the light; while
thousands wear the laurel who have not
merit to deserve the yew.

Esy- The following is an extract FRI

H6y- The following is an extract from
an able speech of Senator Davis, OF Ken
lucky, in the last Congress, on the bill
establishing negro suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t contains sound
advice:
The people of the South made war in
q wrong cause. They turned their backs
upon peace and prosperity and liberty to
fight for separate political power, and
their heroism was never surpassed
Now. the war is made upon them to
deprive them of their right OF self
government, of their fields, of their
homes, family affairs, of their religious
temples. They and their wives and
their children and their country and
everything comprehended by that
term, all for which man ought to live,
and for the preservation of which he
should dare to die, the South is sum
moued to surrender to the absolute con-
troll. by the fundamentally of her own
negroes, of her old and inexorable enc
mics. And she has the great humiliation
Of having some of her own people to la
Dor to bring upon her this deep and de-
grading enslavement; yea, worse, she is
offered the great insult of being asked to
accept it, .,
Now is coming the terrible time in
which the people of the South will be re-
ouired to exercise their truest heroism.
They must resist this great, this most
foul cruel, and dishonoring enslavement,
but peacefully, and by every peaceful
means which they can command. They
will stand in need of oil their patience,
their courage, their forttude, their pow
ers of endurance. To every unjust and
degrading demand they must an
swer, with will fixed as destiny,
MOI By their peaceful and quiet
and heroic suffering they must win even
the respect of their enemies and the ad
miration and sympathies of the world.
II will be dreadful and may be ong
trial, but-how much more bearable than
the shame and CALLING chains of a volun
! tary slavery; and such slavery to such
masters If it be voluntary, they will
deserve it; if it be involuntary and forced
upon them, the justice Of God and mar
will come to their deliverance.

R@-Bome Radicals are apologzing for
General Grant on the ground that, in
taking Stanton's place, he acted under
compulsion, being bound to obey orders.
If he did not syhpathize with the PreSi-
dent is it to be supposed he would have
been selected for so important work 7
Is it to be believed he accepted the po-
sition of Secretary ad interim, from com.
pulsion, and when he would, if he could,
carry out Stanton's own radical policy Z
Such conclusion is unreasonable, and
it is evident the Radical party has just
appreciation of the situation in denounc-
ing Grant for desertion. His very first
official act as Secretary, is to undo a
tyrannical edict of Sickles, by which the
execution of legal process issued by the
United States District Court in North
Carolina, Justice Chase presiding, was
prohibited.

R6y- In Tennessee we now have mat
tiers all right We can satisfy all those
who sickle about the qualifications OF
voters Some have insisted on property
qualification, and some on d certain de-
gree of education and intelligence. We
have settled that matter Men Of intelh'
cence are excluded from the polls as in
competent in our State. The ignorant
are allowed to vote. We do not allow
property holders to vote, as q general
rule. As they are unwilling to tax them
selves over Eve per cent. Of their capital
and five on their incomes, We have
given the voting power to those who
know how to use it and put on ten. We
think it is wrong to hold riches, and we
intend to discourage it, by taking
the power out of the hands of
the rich and giving it 10 the
the poor. Some rich men are Ignorant
enough to do for voters. But, as ma
iority of them can read and write, we
have thought it Best to give the control
TO the unbleached gentlemen who have
not that folly to answer for. We do not
put any in the penitentiary for having
property which they have worked for
and which belongs to them. Nor have
we any law forbidding persons to learn
to read and write, being responsible for
the abuse Of that liberty. But we think
that as the Africans are rather the poor
est and most ignorant Of our population,
they should be the only agents to do the
governing, except few deserters and
camp followers and fogies, who are
proved to be extra loyal by the fact that
they have been always "on the make,
and never sacrificed dollar nor drop
Of blood for friend, cause or country.
