49, An election for Mayor

49, An election for Mayor
was held in Nashville last Satur-
urday, and resulted in the success
of the carpet-bag candidate, by
$40 majority, through the unblush-
ing rascality of Enos Hopkins,
Commissioner of Registration. A
negro named Carter, an old resi-
dent, was detailed for duty in the
Commissioners Office, with instruc-
tons to hold up his right hand
when an Aldenite (carpet-bagger)
applied for a certificate, and his
left hand when one of the opposite
party applied for one. The re-
suit was that all of the Alden men
received certificates, and the 9TH
er party got none! Did the world
ever see such rascality outside of
the Radical party?

Lewis Tillman, Radical candi-

man, according to proclamation
through the Press, addressed the
people of Bedford county at the
Court House in this place. Abou,
one o'clock the bell was rang Wig.
orously several times, and procla
nation made from the door that
Lewis would speak, but mo one
seemed DESTROYS of hearing him.
Finally a small squad outof the
large crowd that was in town
(mostly Democrats) collected in
the Court House and he talked to
them fifteen or twenty minutes.
The fact is Lewis is a broken
winded politician, and the people
have been so annoyed by his re-
peated gasconades that they feel
no interest in listening to his ha-
rangues of tom,foolery and silly
blatherskiting.
His own party friends failed to
do him the honor that he deserved,
no doubt. The truth Of the bust,
mes is this, great many of the
Radical party preferred others and
they understand how the "drop"
fell that put Lewis on the track
to the exclusion of all other aspi-
rants. If it was not for Captain
Shcafe we do not think he would
be able to draw out a crowd, even
from his special friends, his colored
brethren. He is q dead cock in

A True Picture.

Little more than two years ago,
the Boston Post says, .sGen. Grant
made his report Of order and good
will at the South. He commend
ed, in the most eulogistic manner,
the temper and spirit of the peo-
pie throughoutth Southern States.
Sumner called this report white
washed; SO has every evidence of
a proper feeling at the South been
denounced by Radicals as untrue,
to perpetuate and augment section
al alienation for party purposes.
They forge letters, invent atroc-
tiles upon the blacks, and lie pro-
miscuously to help their cause"
Nothing, remarks the Atlanta
Intelligencer, can be more true
than what is proclaimed In the
foregoing. Previous to the fall of
Gen., Grant into the embraces of
the Radical party, he manifested
a spirit of liberality to the South,
for which he received the thanks
of our people, who were truly
grateful to him for it: but since
his fall, how great has been the
changel The soldier is himself

of Radical vengeance is all that

Crops down South.

A friend has kindly permitted
US to. copy the following extract
from a letter dated Selma, Ala,
22nd nit
sour crops are very Light
FIRST the drought cut off our corn
crops and stunted our cotton, and
caused it to throw off the squares,
and the worms cut off the late crop
that was making. Upon the whole,
I don't think there will he half
crop of corn or cotton made In cur
portion of the country this year.
Provisions, therefore, will be scarce
with u.s."
The Railroad between Jackson
Vile and Rome isnearly completed,
and when done will give Lincoln
county direct communication
with South Alabama. The coun-
try tributary to Selma now re.
ceives its supplies from St. Louis,
by the way of Vicksburg. Corn,
apples, potatoes, onions, bacon, ETC.,
always command remunerative
prices. The average price of corn
is 50 perbushel, and other articles
about in the same proportion
Neither the soil nor the climate of
South Alabama are adapted to the
growth of the articles enumerated,
and as they have to be supplied
from other localities, Lincoln
county ought to be formidable
competitor for that market, as our
ability to make direct shipments
would place our productions at a
lower figure than the Missouri
articles would be compelled to re-
alize. The subject is worthy of
serious thought. 80

Gals that "each day should be i'm.

Does it mean that each day should

improve that important day to
their own advantage, or that it
will improve them.

The Speaking.

Last Monday, Capt. Sheafe and
Lewis Tillman, opposing candidates
for Congress from this District,

house in this place. Capt. Sheafe

speech, showed the villainies of

Mr.. Tillman responded in one
of the most impotent efforts ever
made in our courthouse. We
make this statement, not from
prejudice, but as a matter of fact,
and attribute the speakers failure
to the miserable cause he was en-
deavoring to defend. Not an ef-
fort was made to answer any of
Capt, Sheafe's arguments-they
were all passed by-ignored-oa

candidate for Congress, he had

fairs, and so should not trouble
himself about them! He did,
however, attempt a defence of the
Congressional reconstruction
scheme, and said that as negroes
could now vote, he was in favor
of extending the same privilege
to all white men.
Capt. Sheafe's rejoinder was,
| if possible, an improvement upon
his first speech. He literally
fayed his competitor, wLo, in a
brief speech, closed the discussion,
having signally failed to break
the force of the stalwart blows
that drove him backward. ~

White and Black.

Some of the prominent Nashville
Radicals have been dining recently
with negroes, we are told. If they
relish such associations, why should
they be debarred from enjoying
them? But theinconsistency of the
thing consists in the fact that these
gentlemen while going in to table
and hobnobbing SO affectionately
with colored people, generally de-
ny with much warmth that they
are in, favor of the social equality
of the races. If they think their
wives and daughters none too good
to be the intimate associates of
colored people, why repudiate
the sentiment in political circles
and practice it in social ones? For
we take it for granted that they
would not dine and wine as equals
with persons whom they would
not introduce as equals to. their
families.
, We have nothing to say against
the blacks, assuch. They are well
enough in their place. Slavery
no longer exists in our country,
although we should have preferred
to get rid of it as Britain did, by
paying people for the property
deprived of. As for political equal
ity, we don't think the negroes of
the South as fit to become electors
as the negroes of the North; and
New York, Ohio, Connecticut, &C.,
have by immense majorities pro-
nounced against the movement to
confer the elective franchise on
the blacks In their midst. And,
of course, entertaining these views,
we are opposed to social equality
with the colored people. We are
opposed to conntenancing the
blacks in their idea that they are,
in all respects, as good as the
whites, and have the right to occu-
Ply tine same seat, the same bed,
with ourselves. 1t may be an un-
reasonable prejudice, but we are
prejudiced against the view that
they are fit companions for us at
the table, in the domestic circle,
in the theatre and concert room,
and so on.
The Nashville Radicals may
have no such prejudices as we, and
may be able to take colored people
into their families, into their social
confidence, and make them in all
respects their equals. They may
even contemplate negro, like
Theodore Tilton, as naturally the
superior of the white man. We
do not rsbuke them for this. Why
Should we? 1t is a matter of taste,
and if their tastes run in an Ethio-
plan direction, we can but shrugl
our shoulders and say what the |
old lady said when she kissed her
COW, "every one to bis own taste.
All that we object to is the insin-
cerity of those who, entertainingl
this taste and these opinions, deny
them in public, and, while vehe.
menuy demanding only political
for the blacks, are really
aiming at the enforced social equal
ity of that race with the white peo-
ole. We dislike such double-deal-I
ing.
