The RothschiIds and the.Popc

For fifteen centuries the Jews have
been cursed by the Pope, and persecu.
ted by the Roman Church. There is NO
more revolving chapter of horrors in his
tory than that of the treatment of the
Jews at the hands of the Pontffs. In
all Ian Is where the Roman religion is
dominant, the children Of Israel have
been treated with barbaric rigor-allow.
ed few privileges, denied all rights
looked upon as people accursed Of God
and set apart by divine ordination to be
trampled upon by the Church.
la Rome, at the present day, the
Jews are confined to the Ghetto they
are not allowed to set up shop in any
other part of the city without a permit;
they can engage only in certain trades
they are compelled to pay enormous tax
es into the Papal treasury they are
subject to a stringent code Of laws es-
tablished by the Pope for their especial
government they are imprisoned and
fined for the most trivial oifeuses. They
cannot own any real estate in the city
cannot build, tear down, or remodel any
dwelling or change their place Of busl>
ness without Papal permission. They
are III abject slavery, with no rights
whatever. and entitled to no privileges,
and receive none, except upon the gra-
cious condesccnsions of the Pope.
In former times they were unmerci-
fully whipped and compelled to listen
once week to the Christian doctrine
of the priests. But time is bringing
changes The Pope is in want of money,
and tie house of the red shield has mons
ey to lend on good security. The house
is always ready to accommodate Gov
ernments. Italy wants money so she
sells her fine system of railroads to the
Rothchilds. The Pope wants money so
he sends his Nuncio to the wealthy
house of the despised race, offers them
security on the property of the Church,
the Campaigna, and receives ten million
dollars to maintain his army and Impe-
rial State. 1t was in 1865
A year passes, and the Pontifical ex-
penditures are five millions more than
the income, and the deficit is made by
the Rothschilds, who take second Sc.
curity at niger rate of interest. Anoth-
er year is passed, and there is third
annual vendum in the Papal treasury, of
six millions, which will quite likely be
filled by the same house. The firm can
do it with ease. When will the Pope
redeem his loan at the rate he is going ?
Never Meanwhile the day is not far
distant when these representatives of a
prosecuted race will have all the availa-
BILE property of the Church in their pos
sion. Surely time works wonders,

TENNESSEE ELECTION.

On last Thursday the election for
Governor Congressman and members of
the Legislature took place. 1t was
predicted by Rebels and their sympathi-
GERS that there would be bloody time
and the history of events that transpired
in the state previous to the day Of elec>
ton, brought about by rebels and de-
signing politicians, who have opposed the
Reconstruction policy of Congress, led
many to believe that the day of election
in Tennessee would be one of riot and
bloodshed. Hence, all eyes were turned
to this State, anxiously awaiting the re-
suit The necessary measures were ta-
ken to preserve the peace and protect
the citizens in the exercise of their
Constitutional rights. The election is
over, and we are informed that il passe d
off quietly, without single disturbance
as Ear as heard from.
Brownlow's majority in Memphis
is 2,292 ,Clarksville 72S. Nashville,
returns from all the wards but one gave
Brownlow, 3,l63 Etheridge 704. The
county also gives a majority for Browns
low. Notwithstanding majority
649.
In accordance with the latest intelli>
gence Brownlows majority in the State
will be in the neighborhood of 10000.
Congressman are all Radical, as also,
nearly all the Legislature.
Congress has been vindioated in its
wise, loyal and patriotic policy of re
construction. This Republican tri-
umph has settled all discussion respects
ing the colorcd vote in the Southern
States. Rebels and copperheads held
out every inducement to the negro in or
der to procure his vote in support of the
party which had opposed his liberati
and gave its sympathy to the Slave hold
ers rebellion When all their concessions
and promises failed their employer
threatened them with dismissal and in
many instances carried this threat into
execution so far aud general was this
done that Gen. Thomas was compe lied
to interfere for their protection. Flat>
terry failed to betray them and terrorism
could not drive them to torsake those
who had been their friends to the sup
port of their enemies.
The policy of Andrew johnson has
been negatived and utterly repudiated
by his own State, and he has been told
in thunder tones that his plan of recon-
ciliation is impossible and impractical
BILE and that persistence therein is
madness on his part.
This election secures radical U. s.
Senator in place of Senator Patterson,
and eight radical Congressman, This
is truly consoing to democracy. Theis

with new life. This is another Of those

ginning of the end 3

MeddIing in Mexico.

That burnt child ought to dread the
fire, we know we are not half so sure
that he generally does. Indeed, it has
often seemed to US that burnt children
had special proc'ivity for "the devour-
ing element" Whoever knew a man
ruined in character aud fortune by gam>
bling who thencetorth shunned'infexibly
the backleg's den Whoever knew a
man who had poured all he was worth
down his throat that did not love the fiery
fluid that had proved his perdition
Still, we submit that he who has seen
others fearfully burned, while himself
unharmed, should know enough to keep
cool, and it utterly amazes us, in view of
the recent aud bitter experience of France
ip Mexico, that we should have country
men eager to initiate Napoleon's folly.
There is no proof that the French were
peculiarly obnoxious iu Mexi ico; the
natural instinct of Independence, with
the distrust and hatred of foreigners
common to all ignorant and some toera-
bly, intelligent people, fully accounts for
the overthrow and death OF Maximiliau
The dullest, most illiterate "greaser'
comprehends that The rule of foreigners
in his country implies her incapaclty for
self-government, and he resents this all
the more since he has smothered sus
picion that it is true.
The Times is moved by recent pre-
posterous manifesto to say;
eve are very happy that Setor Rome
ro has seen fit to postpone the forma tior
ola treaty between the United Stete
and Mexico, for mutual protection
against invasion and rebellion 1t may bt
all very well for US to do what we can 20
help Mexico out of her troubles ; but fol
Mexico to send an army to help us is
case of rebellion or invasion, is somethin!

Of mutual protection" or whateve
specious name may be given to the med

that makes Louis Napoleon as anxious nov
