A QUESTION We'll Propounasd.

The Bangor (Maine) Democrat, in
giving an account of recent Republi-
can meeting in that city, addressed by
the notorious Bingham, contains the fol-
lowing:
While Mr. Bingham was irating about
melting out even and exact justice to all
persons, black and white, the audience
was startled by shrill voice in the gall
lery asking him phdt kind of justice he
meted out TO poor Mrs. Surratt. The
effect was electric, and completely
neutralized all of Bingham's philan-
thropic mouthings, knocked him COM
plesely eff his pins, and involved him in
the shocking dilemma of having to ex
plain transaction which, for atrocious
villainy and cold blooded brutality, never
had its like on the continent. Bingham 8

doubted conviction that Mrs. Surratt
was innocent, and that by her execution

bsfore them. He said he didn't do it.

all of which was base and atrocious
falsehood, and known to be false by all
present Bingham did not recover him
self during the whole evening, but beat
the air with wild gestures, uttering inco-
herent platitudes and meaningless
phrases for over an hour before he could
find period or place to stop at.

The browning infamy is, that the
carpet. Dagger does not represent the
from, and upon which he has been
foisted. He Il but the creature OF the
dominant faction, and is dragged into
Congress to become the supple tool ofthe
party that made him what he ia, aud
without whose support he would be re-
manded back TO the region Of cant, by
pocrisy and rascality, from whence he
originally emerged.
The carpetbaggers, almost without ex :
ception, are adventurers OF the lowest and
most disreputable Sort Nearly all OF
them have drifted into the Southern
States since the war. Some Of them as
Northern emissaries to organize negro
leagues Others are agents OF the Freed
mems Bureau; and others on cotton
stealing expeditions, or bent on indis-
criminate plumber. All their affiliations
are of degraded kind. Utterly despised
by white Southerners, they live apart
from them; herd chiefly with negroes,
and like Ashburn, who was killed re-.
Gently at Columbus, sleep, not unfre-
quently, in their novels. To talk OF
these men as representing the South is
TO abuse the use Of language. They
represent nothing but their own greed,
and their own debased instincts; whilst
the "loyalty on which they pride
themselves, consists of fawning subserv-
fence to the dictates of the faction which
has so long ridden rough-shod over the
Southern people.-Baltimore Gazette.

southern Sentiment.

The Northern Radical journals are
full of letters written by carpet'baggers
from this quarter, which of course belle
and misrepresent the Southern people to
the utmost. By garbled quotations from
speeches made here they are doing their
worst. But the Democratic journals are
meeting them msnfully, and taking all
the lightning out Of their thunder. They
tell them what is the truth in reply that
they have reliable information that there
| is nothing here of rebellion in the sense
of hostility to the Constitution and the
Union, or to the government admins
tered on the basis of the Constitution.
They say that there is sense of deep
wrong resulting from Radical legislation,
and that two millions of Democratic
voters have the same sense that injustice
and wrong have been done. For instance
the St. Louis Republican responds as
follows. The true feeling of Southern
men could not be better expressed by
themselves:
There ia also in the South pervading
conviction that under the Constitution
the States have sovereign and independ-
ent rights with which Congress cannot
interfere without usnrping powers not
conferred upon it. Those rights they
think have been hagrsntly violated by
Radical legislation. Two million Demo-
cratic voters think go too in the North.
The Southern whites hope to recover
their rights and privileges snatched from
them by the Radical party, and to be
able to restore their States to an equal
standing with the States of New York
and Illinois in the Union. They look to
the Democratic party to aid them in this.
What they aim at is genuine Union-a
Unioa in which there shall be fraternal
feeling, justice, equality binding all to-
gether. There is not a thought or
dream Of disuuion 10 the heart Of
single Southern leader They long for q
peaceful happy Union on the basis Of the
Constitution, in which, with due allie
glance to the general Government in its
constitutional sphere, their own States,
like New England, shall be permitted to
regulate their own domestic concerns.
The majority of the Northern people de-
sire that such union may be attained,
and they will cooperate with their fellow.
citizens Of the South in securing the end
they desire.
That the leading, controlling wish Of
the Southern people is union, may be
seen in such speeches as that made by
Gen. Hampton at Charleston, s. c., last
week. They labor for, and are looking
for a restoration Of their States to the
Union, with their constitutional rights
unimpaired.

signs Of nay.

IL seems that the mission OF John NJ
Lea TO Governor Brownlow has not been
without effect From the Legislative
proceedings published this evening, i
will be seen that Brownlow has brought
the matter of Acknowledgement before the
Legislature, aud thus given present juris
diction over the subject. II the mem
bers Of that body now come up to the
measure of wise. craftsmanship, they
may do much to paoify the State and pro-
mote the common welfare. To enfran-
chise the disfranchised Of Tennessee will

good men and restoration OF confidence
and prosperity in business affairs. To
postpone that eniranchisement beyond
the Presidential election, will be so eyi.
IDENTIFY partisan as to be without all good
effect whatever, even though the Legisla-
ture pledges itself to enfranchise the day
after. 1t seems pretty well understood
that the suicidal step Of calling out the
militia will not be taken. Ifenfranchise.
ment now takes place we shall have
occasion to rejoice that what threat
ened civil war itself wass but the
harbinger of coming peace and good will.
Since the above was written we have
received the following Louisville Courier
special, bringing our Nashville news
down to Monday evening:
There is nothing startling in conuec-
ton with the situation of present Brown.
lows extra message to the Legislature
arrived in the city to-day and will be
read in that body to. morrow. 1t is
pretty generally understood that he does
not openly recommend enfranchise-
ment, but simply condescends to bring
the subject before the Legislature. He
would hardly bdSe gone this far if the
great body Of the Radicals had not ur-
gently entreated him to do so. In some
counties there were not over q half dozen
native Radicals who refused to sign such
q petition.
Judge Shackleford, recently on the
Supreme Bench. is working earnestly
in the interest of the disfranchised, and
proposes to- morrow to address the Legis-
lature on the subject. All these in
duences at work make it reasonably
probable that the Legislature will take
action on the subject But
one thing is absolutely certain, that
snfranc hisement viii not take place until
after the Presidential election. This |
will carry the State for Grant
The militia measures will hardly pass

equip large army was introduced in the
House today, still the general prospect
is shrouded with misgivings and danger.
