BE- Gold, influenced by the
Washington impeachment move
ment, is going up rapidly. Wheth-
er the repeated impeachment agi-
tations are gotten up by parties
engaged in gold speculations, is
more than we can say. Certain
it is, however, that large profit
has been made by purchasing gold
and selling it at the advanced pri-
ces when impeachment is boldly
prophesied. It is a miserable
spirit Of patriotism, at the best.
that would enrich Itself by indulg-
ing in such stabs at the national
credit; but the public are surprised
atnothingnow that may be attemp'
ted at Washington. We had ''no
part nor lot" in placing President
Johnson in the station he now
occupies; but as long as he is the
constitutional head of the nation,
we conceive him entitled at least to
that respect which we feel for the
Office he fills. 1t lis said to be dis
reputable bird that disgraces its
own nest, and the party in power
having placed Mr.. Johnson where
he is, must be content to accept
the consequences if they persist
in holding him up to worse than
public ridicule. 1t would be much
wiser to get along as amicably as
possible with the President until
his term expires, for the sake of
the country's credit, if not for
their own.

An Important Law.

The Tennessee Legislature has
passed a very important law,
which has just been made public.
1t provides that the Sheriff shall, if
necessary to preserve peace and ar
rest offenders, enrol police force
of from twenty-five to fifty per-
sons; and if the Sheriff fails to
comply with this law, then the
Governor is required to organize
the force, the members of which
are to receive & day, each, or So
if mounted, to be paid out of the
county treasury. The cost of the
lpolice, for Lincoln county, would
! probably not be less than $50 @
day, or $4,000 year, which is tc
he raised by a tax on real estate
as arc other taxes, except thai
property sold under the provisions
,of this act may be offered to tht
highest bidder in any portion OF
the State that the Assessor ma,
select, provided an attempt to sci
has been made, and failed
, in the county where the propert.
is located. All processes for tn
arrest of offenders, from Courts o
! Magistrates, are to be served b,
, the police. When organized, tn
police can only be disbanded wher
the Circuit Court Judge and tn
Attorney General certify that the
are no longer needed.

correspondent, we disavow all pur
pose Of inaugurating mob law in
Fayetteville. We believe that s
meeting of the citizens, publicly
held, ana speaking out plainly,
disappearing unequivocally the
lawlessness of which our town has
been the theatre for some time
past, will have beneficial effect.
There can be no harm IN trying
it, at all events; and if it should
fail, measures that will compel
restraint could then be resorted to.
The threat so often made to have
the matter considered by the
grand jury, doesn't avail noao.-

Immigration.

The accumulation OF land, the
clearing it up, and the accumula-
ton of negroes to work it, were
the great objects before the war,
and the favorite chanhels for capt.
tai. Perhaps these were not the
best investments for the good of
the country, or for capital then,
and perhaps atterexperience has
demonstrated 1t; but we have
nothing to do with such questions
now, and capital will hardly flow
into its old channels again. We
have to do with the more impor-
tant question now: How shall this
land we have bought and cleared
be cultivated? We had a set of
laborers who formerly were en-
tirely under our own CONTROL
We knew exactly what calcula-
tions to make about our crops SO
far as the labor was concerned,
and could therefore concert our
plans for the whole year, for we
knew what we were doing. Now.
however, the case is different
Those upon whom we formerly
calculated with great certainty.
are now indisposed to work, and
we have no compulsion. There
are too many elections, public
meetings, and too much public bu
siness generally requiring their at
tention, to permit them to do jus
tice to The farm work. So uncer
tain has black labor become that &
number Of our farmers have an
nounced their determination tC
have nothing more to do with it
preferring to risk their land lying
idle, rather than be troubled with
such labor. The negro must i'm
prove, or more Of our farmers must
be forced to the same course.
Again, the whites are unable to
take the negroes place, and cult
vate properly the amount of land
now cleared in Lincoln county.
We have not the white population
to do it. Many of our poorer
white families are coming up nobly
to the work, and are laying the
foundations of our future prosper
ity-but there are not enough OF
them. Hence, quantity OF our
lands must lie idle, or we must pro-
cure other labor to cultivate them.
Surely no farmer would prefer the
former, when he could prevent it.
The point then to which we come
is, that other labor must be pro-
cured to cultivate our farms. We
want no more black labor-we
must obtain the white. We can
spare thousands of acres to immi-
grants, and be all the better for
their coming. Every farmer who
can procure an honest white labor
er to settle on his farm has done
himself a great service, as well as
the county. Then bestir your
selves, We landholders, and look
well 70 your own interests.

A Denver dispatch, dated September
10, says that the Democratic candidate
for delegate was defeated by Frank Blail
and his speech. The dispatch adds:
The Democrats had counted on at least
three hundred majority for their candi.
date in this city, but, to make the thing
sure, they imported Frank Blair from
Cheyenne the day before the election
received him in grand style, and in the
evening they had tOrchlight proces.
sion, and Blair addressed the mob. And
such a speech | can best describe ii
by stating that it disgusted all decent
Democrats, many Of whom OPEN y avowed
heir-determination to votefo sober and
not drunk men, for he aUds drunk be.
yond the question of doubt, and wis put
TO bed in that condition by some Of his
supporters. He went to the mountains
the next day, and returning few days
after, very quietly left for the East, for
the city had gone Republican by over
two hundred majority, and the Demo.
Gratis were charging him with being the
author of all their woes. Blairs speech
decided it against the Democratic can
didate. Our people do not want another
war; they therefore could not vote for q
man who was in favor of electing Blair
Vice President. Republicans congratu-
late themselves On the fact that Blair did
speak i'm Denver, and regret that he did
not arrive In time to address the people
in other parts of the Territory, for had
he done SO the Democratic party would
have been anihilated. -

4 squire Back Ont,

For months Democratic orators and
presses have been insisting that the
National bonds shall be subjected to
State taxation. They have at last made
virtue of necessity, and abandoned
his position. Pendieton, at Cleveland,
admitted that no such right legally ex-
isted, and now the Chicago Times of the
18th, which is nothing if not Democra-
lie, and Thoroughbred partizan,
acknowledges the corn" as follows:
General Morgan, of Ohio, an honest
and able man, and Democrat who did
good service in fighting the rebellion,
said the States could tax bonds; but
even he does not advance that doctrine,
because sundry decisions ofthe Supreme
Court have been averse to it. The ques-
ton is debatable one; but the Demo-
cratic party not now, and never has been,
to the doctrine that the States
can tax the Federal bonds.
