Practically, IN The South, pnliiical
editors have been denied many rights
claimed by others. The idea seems
10 have fastened itself upon the
minds of great many people that
editors must not run for Office, but
must work like dray horses to pull
their political friend. into positions Of
honor aud profit that they must not
engage in any other business, lest
they come IN conflict with some one
who is advertising in their papers,
&c.
IL has ever been astonishing to Us
that the editors of the country, COM
bining as they do as much talent,
genius and merit as any other class
Of men Of an equal number, aud
who really mould public opinion, and
direct It with the powerful lever of
the Press, should so long have sub
mitted to this prescription. Whilst
we, individually, have no ambition
for office, las the private post is now
the post Of honor we are resolved to
assert and maintain the rights of ed
itors, equally with other classes; and,
as soon as we emerge from Brown
lows despotism, we shall advocate a
convention of the editors of Tennes-
see to meet at Nashville, to take in
consideration, among other things,
the prescription under which they
have so long remained. In the mean
time, so far as we are concerned, wC
shall run for Office, if we feel like it
or engage in any honorable business
outside Of our editorship, that will
promote our interest, and no man
who has a proper conception of tn,
rights of others can have just caus'
of complaint. If we want to run {
horticultural garden, and thereby
come in conflict with others engaged
in that business, we shall feel free Il
do so; if we want to engage in sell,
ing real estate, dry goods, groceries
cotton, wheat, or anything else, We
shall do so, and feel that we are moi
trospassing upon the rights of Others

WOMEN NOT FooIs.-A late writ
er thus handsomely corrects, or aims
tocorrect, popular misapprehension :
"Most peculiarly, most notedly, a
man excels a woman in the faculty Of
being fool. Here men will hardly
believe me; no matter, women will.
They know that | speak the truth ;
sound doctrine it is, though to my
brothers il might seem heresy. Ia
ken as a whole, the average of good
sense is on the side of woman. Wo-
men may be thoughtless, weak, or
vicious, but only in the fewest cases
are they constituted simpletons. The
babble and trilling of woman have
often beneath them talent and sagac-
ity the iilence and gravity Of u man
often conceals the mental poverty Of
Ounce. The silly girl grows into
the Thoughtful maiden, into the care
ful matron but the silly youth is
weak by nature, he is predestised to
be fool, and throughout life he
makes his calling and election sure.
Women, when fools, are fools by ac-
cident; men, when fools, are fools in
grain.

HISTORY REPEATS ITsELF.-The
Parliament elected in 1861, during
that fit Of joy and fondness which
followed the return Of the royal fami-
ly, represented not the deliberate
sense, but the momentary caprice Of
the nation. Many Of the members
were men who, a few months earlier
or a few months later, would have
had no chance of obtaining seats !;
men of broken fortunes and OF disso-
lutte habits; men whose only claim
to public confidence was the ferocious
hatred they bore to Puritans and
rebels. The people, SO soon as they
had become sober, SAW WITH DIS
MAY to what an assembly they had,
during their intoxication, confded
the care Of their property, their Id
erty and their religion From Ma
caulay's History of England, vol ",

A NOVEL CARRMGE-HoRsEs
INsIDE.-An ingenious idea has Just
been carried out successfully in Gin
cinnati, by the construction of a one
wheeled carriage, propelled by the
horses being inside. II consists of u
large wooden wheel, fourteen feet in
diameter and six feet broad, with
foot-board for horses to hold. From
the axle are suspended seats for the
passengers, which axle extends on
both sides beyond the wheel, it being
only necessary to keep them balanced.
Iron stays from the extremities Of the
axle are carried over the top rather in
front, which support the seat for the
person who drives the vehicle, which
is done with the greatest ease, and it
can turn in a much shorter space than
a coach. A successful trial was made
recently with one carrying twenty
four passengers and two heavy draught
horses, previously trained, as they are
entirely unfrettcd by harness. A
distance of five miles was performed
in twcnty-eight minutes. The work
of the horses is easy, as they travel
on an endless plank road.

Radical BarbarIty...TheIr Love for
the Negro,

The following shocking story--ev-
idence of Radical love for the negroes
comes to us from that excellent
journal, the Augusta, Georgia, Chron-
icle. 1t says:
"Our city readers will remember
that the Augusta Foundry, on Jack
son street, was used, subsequently, to
the war, as q Freedmen's Hospital,
under the auspices of the Freedmen's
Bureau. After awhile the Hospital
was removed to the opposite side of
the street, buildings having been
placed there for that purpose. In
the old hospital, after its erection,
chains were found attached to the
floor in one OF the rooms, where the
refractory negroes were chained, and
perhaps otherwise punished. But,
worse than this, in the dead house,
some three or four skeletons were
found and boxes of dead negroes
are still lying upon the ground there
and among these is the skeleton Of
an infant! This hospital was an
oHshot or charge Of the Frecdmen's
Bureau, Radical institution; estab-
lished ostensibly for the protection Of
the negroes, and yet, the poor crca-
lures were allowed to perish and to
goJwithopt even inte,rFmeatlrdIg3
"This is severe commentary on
Radical love for the negro. They
love him enough to use him, while
living-wben dead they have no use
for him--no respect for him."

DEATH nv TICIIT VACTNG IT |

DEATH BY TIGHT LACING.--It
seems incredible that, in these days
of the general diffusion of elemental
~ kno' ledge concerning the funct-
ions of the human frame, any ration
al woman should kill herself with
tight laeing. Yetsuch ease actual
~ occurred only n few days ago in
New York. The victim was only
twenty-fOur years ofage. Not being
so light of frame as she desired to
be, she was in the habit not only of
drawing her corsets together herself,
but of obtaining the assistance OF
her friends for the same purpose,
until finally her ribs were so pressed
in upon her lungs as to cause an at
tack of apOpleXy, resulting in death.
1t is worthy ofmention, too, that the
last time upon which she submitted
to this process ofiacing was in max
ing her toilet, preparatory to attend
ing the dedication of church,
Even the duties of religion became
the occasion Of sacrificing life to
society. Let all young women who
are in the habit of diStorting their
forms. under the impulse of this
same fashion, take warning by her
fate.
