say- Our Republican government il

16S- Our Republican government in
Tennessee is rich affair. 1t is fully
up with the progress of the age" In
ancient times, and among less enlight'
ened and barbarous people, it was the
custom to turn rogues out Of office. But
we have progressed to such an extent
that we turn honest men out and put
rogues in. Our good, old, honest, ignor-
ant, stubborn and crank headed, crooked
stick, "Uncle Jeems," discovered that
immense frauds were about to be prac-
tioed in the election, and he attempted
to checkmate it by increased caution and
rigid examination into the qualifca-
tons of applicants for certificates. And
forthwith the AK Of our Nashville Robes
pierre falls and off goes Uncle Jeems
head. We do not know his successor,
except by name.
The game of the Beecher party is to
bring in votes from the surrounding
country sufficient TO carry the day.
Very likely they will do it, and that it
will make little difference how many
white men vote. We understand that
near five hundred white voters who had
fairly received their certificates, are dis
franchised by this act of Brownlow. So
it will not be necessary to bring SO many
negroes from Arkansas and the country
as was expected. Let the tyrants go on
they have rope enough. Perhaps
Memphis will be able to avoid an elee-
ton carried by the tyranny of excluding
qualified votes on the one hand and
bringing in unqualified and fraudulent
ones ON the other. How long is day of
justice and retribution for crime to be
delaved2

R0~ Some of the Northern papers
affect establishment at the retention of
Pope in command, after the evidence Of
several officers Of high standing that he is
the most consummste liar in America.
This is nothing to abash Radicalism.
Butler stole spoons aud robbed bank
vaults. His services were rewarded by
seat in Congress. Ashley is confessedly
a perjurer, and his Radical constituents
load him with office. Holt has been up
to his eyes in plots to convict men Of
crime by buying scoundrels to swear to
lies furnished by him. He is still a
shining light in the party. Here in
Memphis the same party nominates for
Mayor a man indicted for theft, and
members Of the Legislature leave their
seats to come home and work for his
election. Astonishment Nonsense !
The only impedimentto promotion in the
Radical ranks is respectability, crime
being regarded mark Of merit.

RUTLAND HERALD
SATURDAY, MAY IL, 1857.
Planning Shade Trees.

Our attention has been called 10 the
fact that our townsman, Henry Hayward,
ESQ, has planted fine row OF maple
shade trees along the highway the entire
length of his farm, which he has recently
purchased, south of the village. This
act Is worthy OF commentator, and
should be largely initiated, not only in
the suburbs, but within the limits Of
the corporation Of our rapidly incress-
ing village. We may in this connection
notice the commendable spirit mani
tested in the rural town OF Cornwall.
The inhabitants of that village turned
out eg ma@e on the first day of May, and
planted one hundred and fifty maple
trees, which, added to those planted
many years since, make the number on
one street two hundred and fifty trees.
These will in few years be the pride
Of It's citizens, and will afford great
pleasure to travellers, who, at certain
seasons of the year, welcome every shade
by the roadside, and are grateful for the
thoughtfulness and good taste which
led to the kindly act.
Is not the planting of ornamental
tress, with view to the establishment
OF our streets, worthy the attention of
the citizens of Rutland? 1t should re-
ceive the consideration of people who
are making rapid improvements In other
respects to beautify our streets by the
planting of ornamental shade trees
along the various streets. Compare
lively, it only requires little effort to
do 1t. One year passes by and then
another, and we neglect or postpone it.
Every tree planted and cultivated adds
to the common stock of the town, and
in degree to its material wealth, and
every person who plants even one does
something not only for himself, but for
posterity. We once heard a distin-
guished gentleman remark, on visit to
a beautiful village Of our State, while
looking at beautiful row Of trees
planted by him many years before,
1.-THE people of this town may forget
that l once had a residence among them,
but" pointing to the shade trees, there
is monument they cannot wipe out
unless they are heather"
A village without ornamental or shade
trees presents doleful appearance to
the stranger. We may have splendid
streets, and stately mansions, and beau
tilul cottages, but they all look naked
and uninviting without shade to beau
tify and ornament them. If our people
would make systematic and combined
effort in this direction, the work would
soon be accomplished. This is not only
work for the present. but for our pos
terity. Let US plant trees in all our
streets at once.
